Astrid woke up with a frown on her face and a crinkle in her forehead. With an audible groan she glanced at the clock and saw she was already late. "Fucking hell." Letting her body go limp she fell back into the embrace of the soft pillow. Wouldn't it be nice to just stay there and sleep. Everything was so comfortable and- Astrid's belly groaned reminding her of her responsibilities. She hated being hungry. Groaning once more, she shoved herself out of bed, and slipped on some clothes. Picking up a pair of gloves and special jumper cables she grumpily stormed out of the room.

The walk to the basement, was one filled with angry noises and sharp glances at people in the hallway. She managed not to get lost, though she could imagine some of the newer students probably had a hard time with it. The place was a maze sometimes. Opening the door to everyone, Astrid wordlessly walked in and moved to a corner. Francis wouldn't be surprised that she was late, she usually was. Sitting down in her corner, she leaned her head back against the wall. Laying a hand on her temple, she tried to cool the raging headache that was already building.

When it subsided a little bit she reopened her eyes again trying to take it what was happening. Mutants, new and old around the room demonstrating the powers. How creative Francis. Show and tell. Rolling her eyes, Astrid scooted over until she was next to a plug in the wall. Taking the special jumper cables off of her neck she placed the custom made side into the wall. She, along with some of the smarter mutants at the school had invented them, so she could charge faster. Since her time as a child her tolerance to energy had grown and if she were to try and use a fork again it would take hours.

When the cable was plugged in, she grabbed the two ends, clipping them onto her hands. Immediately the energy began to course through Astrid. Euphoria flooded her body, causing her eyes to roll up into the back of her head. On her face a small smile grew. She might have hated to get this full, but damn it felt good. When she felt she was charge enough, Astrid unattached the two ends and stood up. She felt like a new person. Her eyes opened, and electric blue. All throughout her hair spark ran. Hands trembling she slowly walked towards the front of the class. As she walked she concentrated hard, making sure she didn't get too close to anyone. Still people's hair around her began to raise from the excess static that bled off her body.

Standing near where William had just fired She focused hard and raised her right arm out towards the dummies. And electric sounding voice came out as she talked. "Stay back." Trying to steady her shaky breaths as her heart thudded at a thousand miles and hour, she slowly released the control over her palm. Immediately lightning shot out exploding as it hit the other side of the room. It would have been fairly cool if she hadn't been whipped around by the force of the shot and landed on her butt. Slowly Astrid stood up, as the burnt smell of electricity filled the air. She gave a quick little wave to everyone in the classroom, before spouting off a stream of nearly unintelligible words. "Hey, so I'm like Astrid. That's my name. Though my 'codename' is AC. Because like alternating current and my last name is Cable. So you know, AC. And right now I'm super hyper from the energy." Raising a hand to demonstrate, "See waaaaay too much, I'm shaking. Look Francis can you see, shaking. OH! But please don't touch me. That would be shocking." Her hands shot in front of her mouth as the last words came out. Giggle like a little girl she said, "Shocking, that's a good one."

Astrid Cable

{"Fuck off."}

---

---

Codename:

AC

Age:

21

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Heterosexual

Relationship Status:

Single

Species:

Mutant

History:

You know those little plastic things that overprotective parents put in electrical sockets? Yeah, Astrid's mom wasn't like that. It wasn't necessarily her mom's fault, she was working all the time to keep what little they had. However, it did scare the life out of her when thirteen month Astrid stuck a fork in a socket and started charging. Astrid's mom, not knowing how to get her daughter away from the socket without electrocuting herself, allowed her to overcharge herself. The infant had no idea how to control herself, and quickly burnt the house down. Astrid and her mom were lucky to survive. From then on, Astrid and her mom were very careful about how they dealt with electricity. It was always a struggle for her to feed herself, especially since her single mother was already trying to hold down two jobs, and could only sometimes pay the electricity bill. At eleven her mother heard about a place where people like her daughter could control themselves. Knowing she couldn't take care of her daughter herself she sent her off.

Appearance:

Astrid is a fairly short fair skinned woman. She is only 5'4" and weighs around 100 pounds, giving her the appearance of someone slightly malnourished. Her skin is a stark white in comparison to her bright red hair, easily her best feature. One interesting thing about her is that when her energy or emotions are high, sparks start to streak through her hair, much like bolts on a copper wire. She has light grey eyes that blend in well with her skin. Her clothes are fairly basic, tang tops and jeans, but when she knows she'll have to overcharge she wears thick black rubber gloves. It had been (unfortunately) known for her to burn through her clothes, so she often has another pair close at hand.

Powers:

Electrokinesis - Astrid's power allows her to act much like a battery. She stores energy in her body gathered from electrical devices and machines. At all given time, Astrid is being charge from static electricity gathered in the air. The level of energy in her body reflects her mood. When it's high, she acts hyper and speeds up her speech, but when low she can be sour and rude. Most of her energy comes from static, though Astrid's body naturally burns through a small amount electricity. The burn rate of her body, however, is not enough to balance out the amount that she builds from static. To prevent herself from overloading she must use this energy. The energy she stores in her body can be manipulated in several ways. She can charge most machines, though the quickest and easiest is to shoot bolts of electricity. The drawbacks to her ability are her constant need to regulate energy income, without which she would explode from overexposure. Due to these limitations, Astrid must always make sure to drain her energy before it gets too high, often resulting in her mood being sour.

Personality: As said above, Astrid's mood is directly controlled by the amount of energy she has stored in her body. When she is hungry, from a low level of energy and the headaches that occur, she is cranky and very easy to tick off. Often this occurs during mornings, after she has woken up from sleeping. The lower the energy is the more of a bad mood you will find her in. On the contrary, when she has a high level of energy, she is nearly a different person. Astrid can be uncharacteristically bubbly and happy, laughing like a normal young girl. Sometimes even flirtatious. Her speech starts to speed up, often making it hard to comprehend. She also makes a lot of gestures with her hands and body.

However, while she does seem like a better person in this state, she always has a constant worry in the back of her mind that she could hurt someone while overcharged. Due to that fact, Astrid keeps her energy constantly low, just enough to function without letting the migraines get too bad. She figures that it's better to starve herself than risk hurting someone else. So have fun with bad mood Astrid. _{She can be a bit of a bitch.}

Powers:

Electrokinesis - Astrid's power allows her to act much like a battery. She stores energy in her body gathered from electrical devices and machines. Given enough time she can also gather energy from the static in the air, but this takes far too long to be practical. The level of energy in her body reflects her mood. When it's high, she acts hyper and speeding up her speech, but when low she can be sour and rude. While she does gain some energy from static, Astrid's body naturally burns through the electricity in her body, causing her to "feed" often, but electrocuting herself. The energy she stores in her body can be manipulated in several ways. She can charge most machines, and with enough concentration shoot bolts of electricity. The drawbacks to her ability are her constant need to feed, without which she would starve and die, and when overcharged she is a danger to others and her surroundings (what happens when you overcharge a battery?). Due to these limitations, Astrid must always make sure she is at a perfect medium.
