Really though, intangibility and telekinesis it is. (:

If it's not too much trouble, I'd love the link. (: Also, I just found out there's an app for GoogleDocs so that makes things a lot easier.

Not a problem, I'll go ahead and drop that power!

Invincible - Chapter I : Origination

I believe Nevermind wanted our characters to interact on the plane ride. With that said, Gwen took the San Francisco plane so anyone else leaving from their can interact with her. We could do a collab in Pm. (:

Verthaven (High-Casual Superhuman City)

Interested! I've already got a few character ideas and powers rolling around in my head:
- Force Field Generation
- Intangibility
- Volatile Manipulation/Generation
- Balistic Telekenisis

Decisions, decisions.

Invincible - Chapter I : Origination

Sitting outside of the SFO Airport with a little time to spare before her flight, Gwendolyn Hayes puffed calmly on a cigarette as she kept an eye on security, and the people around her. Face hidden beneath a baseball cap and an earbud hanging out of her ear, blue eyes flickered from person to person as she watched families and friends unload luggage and see each other off. It was all so sentimental that it almost made her sick, but with a flick of her cigarette and an annoyed sigh, she turned her focus elsewhere. With a warrant out for her arrest she needed to avoid as much attention as possible and glaring at everyone who passed by wasn't going to make her anymore inconspicuous.

Catching glances with a border patrol officer, her eyes casually turned south and her head hung low. 'Speak of the devil.' Slouching forward so her elbows rested on her knees and her face was hidden by her hair, she watched the officer slowly step past her and through the doors of the airport. It was probably her just being paranoid, but she could have sworn she saw the officer pause just for a second. None of that mattered now, though. He had walked by her, and she was in clear, so everything was cool. Everything except for her mood.

Throwing a glare at the doors he walked through, Gwen scowled in the officers general direction, half tempted to throw him the finger. "Yeah that's right, keep walking." Mumbling underneath her breath, she took a long drag of her cigarette before tossing it to the ground and crushing it with the heel of her boot.

Nerves on edge, and anxiety high, Gwen's temper had been through the roof since yesterday. It wasn't every day that some rich dude in a nice suit approached her, especially one that knew her full name without even talking to her before. Not only had that meeting tripped her out, the letter he had given her to read had mind fucked her even more then the plane ticket to Haiti. Spontaneous was her middle name, but this was down right crazy!

Gwendolyn had never been a person to run away from her problems before, but it didn't look like she had any choice in the matter to begin with. 'Stay where you are now, and die, or be taken away to live out your days as a lab rat,' Yeah, like that was gonna happen. She had already got a taste of what the government was planning, and she wasn't about to sit around and get caught again.

Just because she was getting a new lease on life didn't mean she was totally down with the idea, either. This whole Haiti thing could have been a trap by the government, and the rich dude could be the sleaze she assumed had him to be from the very beginning. Going into this with your guard down was like asking for a bullet to the head, and Gwen wasn't going to take any chances. All she had to do was play it safe, and things would work out like they always did.

'You just gotta be cool, Gwen. Don't mess with anyone, and no body will mess with you.' She told herself while checking the time on her phone. With three minutes to spare before it was time to board, she slung her small backpack of belongings over her shoulder and fixed the hat on her head. She had decided long ago that there was no turning back, so with a shaky breath in and out, Gwen hurried inside the terminal to board her flight to Haiti.

I'm working on my post right now, so I should have that up in the next couple hours. I should mention collabing for me might be a little difficult cause I'm currently writing through mobile, but I haven't played around with Google docs on my phone yet so I'm not sure if I have access to it. I'll see what I can do, though! (Cause I plan on having Gwen take the San Fran plane too.)

Also, thank you Write!

Invincible - Chapter I : Origination

o_o Wow, just finished reading Gwendolyn's character sheet, her abilities are almost the exact opposites of Keran's... xD
I'm really looking forward to seeing how they interact... :3

@Cryptiic

Same here! Apart from their powers, their personalities are pretty similar so I can only assume they'd get along. May cause some trouble together. (:

Invincible - Chapter I : Origination

Aaand finished! Sorry for the delay, mobile can be a real ass sometimes. :/

Looking forward to writing with you all, and I do hope my little Gwendolyn can get along with everyone.~

Invincible - Chapter I : Origination

Gwendolyn Hayes

Gwendolyn Hayes

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Personality: Gwendolyn likes to think of herself as an actress. She can wear many faces ranging anywhere from naive, to her personal favorite, complete bitch all depending on the person she's talking to. With a knack for feeding others egos, and telling them what they want to hear, lying comes by easy for her. Especially white lies. Socializing with others has always been a fifty-fifty shot with Gwen, an issue she likes to deny. Not everyone is a fan of her sarcasm or foul mouth, and while she doesn't like to admit her, her bluntness has been known to be rather harsh. She doesn't mean to be rude most of the time, but it's in her nature to take things too far, and way to lightly.

Well hidden past her rough exterior, Gwendolyn has always been a hopeless romantic. Not limited to gender, or orientation, her attraction is based off of the level of connection she has with another. Not a fan of one-night stands, or friends with benefits, she would rather wait for her feelings to be genuine before jumping right into a relationship. Unfortunately, Gwen has never been in a relationship before, much less experienced her first kiss despite her questionable past. With a history of experimenting with drugs, and alcohol, she lives by the idea of trying everything once. However, cigarettes, pills, and alcohol have become her usual habits. Often criticized for this, any kind of advice goes in one ear and out the other as she comes to use the habits as her main coping mechanism.

Deep down, Gwen is still a child at heart. Curious, immature, and lacking any sense of boundaries, she has a selfish need for everyone to like her. Judgement is her greatest fear, and guilt is her biggest issue. If she's done something wrong, or hurt anyone close, Gwen has been known to go through hell and back to make up for it. Willing to do anything for her friends, even if that means skewing the truth or dealing with their issues, the safety and comfort of her friends is her number one priority. Despite all this, it's still really easy to get on her bad side. With a temper more explosive than her wit, she firmly believes in an eye for an eye and isn't afraid to defend herself or others, even if it means getting beaten in the process. To put it simply, vindictive is a light term for her. Fighting comes natural to her, but her headstrong approach has left her in a number of overwhelming situations. Still, her pride will always mean more to her then her face.

Appearance: Standing at an average height of five foot, four inches, Gwendolyns physical shape is athletic and toned. Exercising frequently, and eating excessively, she's a bundle of energy that is almost never exhausted. Wearing her emotions on her sleeve, it's easy to tell what kind of mood she's in, especially since Gwen is almost always smiling. Two beauty marks decorate her features; one at the corner of her mouth on the right side of her face, and the other just below her nose on the left side of her upper lip. Born a natural brunette, Gwen has dyed her hair blonde frequently for the past year. Wild, wavy, and thick, her hair falls just past shoulders but is kept in messy braids that sit over her shoulders. Bangs cut straight and extremely short, her eyebrows are thick, and angular and shape her dark blue eyes.

Biography: July 5th, 2005 -- Taken on a camping trip for independence day weekend, nine year old Gwendolyn Hayes separated from her parents during a mid-morning hike in the South Lake Tahoe Forest. For the next twenty four hours park rangers thoroughly searched the hiking trails for any sign of the Hayes' daughter, and as hope begin to thin, a call from the highway patrol alerted search and rescue that she had been found walking the highway. From the thick of the woods, little Gwendolyn had navigated through the Tahoe woods to safety with the help of a 'glowing' light. Some called this a miracle, but her parents firmly believed it was the work of Angels.

Riding high with the focus of the news, and church representatives, her parents religious beliefs were strengthened thanks to their daughters story and took it as a sign to raise her down a more 'holy' path. Gwendolyn's life from then on centered around church and school. Freedom restricted, her parents beliefs became law and the happy life she could remember as a child became nonexistent. With no siblings to keep her company, she became used to solitude. It was at this that the same glowing light that lead her out of the forest reappeared before her. It was her light in the darkness, and the only friend she had during childhood, but even then she knew the orbs meant so much more.

As a teenager Gwen began to question her parents system, and beliefs. Growing sick of their ways, and being dictated by religion, she began to rebel. Willing to do anything that would kill the angelic image her parents had built up for her over the years, the fast life quickly consumed Gwendolyn into its grasp. Drinking, smoking, and hanging out with the wrong crowd, her life turned to delinquency and independence. Her parents no longer had control of their daughter, and as they watched her life spiral down, Gwen was loving every moment of it. Unable to see eye to eye with their daughter any longer, Gwendolyn was kicked out of her house at the age of seventeen.

This was a time of struggle for her; living couch to couch, and paycheck to paycheck. It wasn't an easy life, but she basked in the freedom nonetheless. By her eighteenth birthday Gwendolyn had moved into her very own studio apartment with a steady job on the side. Life was slowly looking up, and when she couldn't believe things couldn't get any better life unfortunately had to prove her right. A simple blood test had lead her to be detained by police, and held at gun point.

Terrified for her life, a bright flash erupted before her as the guns in the officers hands melted. Buzzing around the room like flies, three bright orbs lit the room ablaze as they touched the walls, and floors of the clinic. Cuffs cut, and panic setting through the room, Gwendolyn made her escape. Confused, and alone, she left town with a warrant on her head and a small bag of belongings to remind her of what she left behind.

Power: Will-o'-the-Wisp

Naturally manifesting outside of her body, Gwendolyn's internal energy takes the form of levitating orbs of light, or Wisps, that can be controlled by her sheer will. Capable of manipulating the shape, momentum, density, temperature, and luminosity of her orbs, she can use her Wisps as both an offensive, and defensive role in and out of a fight. Able to lift objects three times her weight, and deflect oncoming attacks in the form of a shield, their greatest ability is acting as a natural source of light and heat. With little concentration the wisps can illuminate even the darkest of places. There is no corner or shadow that can escape their light, and when wielding in battle the orbs can burn skin, and ignite most material it comes into contact with.

The Wisps become sentient and playful in a calm setting. Fluttering around like birds, and enjoying the company of those close to Gwen, small childlike whispers and noises emit from the orbs giving them a gentle appearance. However, if Gwendolyn were to face any kind of danger or be put into a life threatening situation the Orbs have been known to act on their own in desperate times. Like any flame, the Wisps are weakest against water and are able to do little in the rain. If rendered unconscious while in control the Orbs will dissipate and leave her completely vulnerable. Gwendolyns greatest weakness is her own mortality, however. She is not indestructible by any means, despite her beliefs, and is able to die like any other human. If her reaction isn't timed fast enough, or her energy level is low, she is vulnerable to any kind of attacks.

Skills:
+ Sticky Fingers: While some would argue that this wasn't a skill, Gwendolyn is a superb pick-pocket and thief. She could snatch a wallet faster then you could say, "Stop!" And wear layers upon layers of stolen clothes under a single shirt without it looking suspicious.
+ Silver Tongue: No matter what anybody says, everybody likes a kiss-ass. Willing to say whatever she to in order to get out of trouble, Gwen has a knack for sweet talking her say out of sticky situations.
+ Tenacity: Gwendolyn has always been annoyingly tenacious. With a goal in sight, she will do everything in her power to reach it. Firmly believing in the idea of "no pain, no gain", she will push herself through thick and thin to get her way.

Weaknesses
- Pride: To insult Gwen is to wage war against her, and because of this, she's willing to do anything mend her confidence and reputation. Its this attitude that's left her in the hospital more then once, but as long as she gets a good hit in to repair her honor, Gwen isn't afraid to beaten in the process.
- Hot Headed: While it's already obvious she lacks self control, Gwendolyns temper is a ticking time bomb that's ready to explode at any moment. Unfortunately, she's also been known to unleash this anger on the wrong people.
- Books Smarts: Despite dropping out of school at seventeen, Gwens studies had been declining since middle school. This doesn't mean she's an idiot by any means, but if someone were to ask her a math or science related question she'd probably direct you to the person next to her.
