[PG-13] Trennan Academy for the Enhanced (OOC)

[ZeeBat]

I suppose the best way to put it is that within that field you can change things. Like if you were in a desert you can make it so that in your area you're always standing on green grass.

The way I was planning on using it was just like that,close-combat enviroment change, or maybe making a shield, or maybe just make energy bullets. Nothing too reality breaking in my head.

[InfraredHero]

Okay, that's much more understandable. And he'll only be able to use it within a 5 foot radius around him, so it wouldn't be too big?

[ZeeBat]

Yep only five feet from himself at max. And any changes he makes are immediately back to normal the second they leave his range.

Name: Natasha Bakhvalova
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Nationality: Russian-American
Appearance:

Spoiler: Natasha 

Powers:

Spoiler: Phoenix Physiology 

User with this ability either is or can transform into a phoenix. She can transform into a bird of flames, but it can take some time to return herself to normal - this may mean finding her on some rooftop the following morning. If she is killed, it can take several hours for her to resurrect herself. Also, she cannot yet control the flames - people around her can be burned.

Spoiler: Psychic Shield 

The user is highly resistant to any/all mental intrusion, including psychic or empathic powers, Hypnosis, Mental Hallucination, deception, etc. Mind readers only “hear” static, while mind controllers are incapable of manipulating those shielded. She is vulnerable, however, to physical attacks.

Biography: Natasha was a Russian Mob Princess, daughter of Pior and Igorina Bakhvalova. Her bodyguard and former KGB, Vasiliy Pupkin (not his real name), trained her in Systema. She was also competing as a fencer, specializing in the Épée.

It's not sure how they reached him, but Vasiliy Pupkin betrayed the family. Picking up Igorina and Natasha following a fencing tournament, instead of taking them home, he drove them both to a warehouse owned by the Volkov family. Igorina struggled with Vasiliy, somehow getting her hands on his concealed gun. A shot rang out, but it was her mother who collapsed dying on the floor.

Natasha was beaten and abused for hours, recorded by various smartphones to be sent to her father, to convince him to capilate to the Volkov family.

She awoke to find herself tied to a chair, her body sore from their abuses. She struggled in her bonds, but wound up tippng the chair over and hitting her head. Her last angry conscious thought was to be clean.

Fire erupted in the warehouse, taking out the entire row. First responders claim seeing a giant bird of flames stalking the interior before the warehouse collapsed. Investigators the following day found her buried in the ash but alive, under some fallen sheet metal roofing.

While appearing completely unharmed following her ordeal, she could not speak a word. Her frustrations boiled over during a therapy session and she transformed, setting off the sprinkers. She was more surprised than scared, looking at her hands. A nurse tried spraying her with a fire extinguisher, and she somehow pulled herself back into human form.

The next thing she knew, she found herself being transferred to Trennan Academy.

Personality: Reserved and watchful. Dislikes when others prey on the weaker.


Other: Mute, possibly because of an brain injury that happened the moment her powers erupted and for whatever reason, is the one injury that is never healed when she resurrects.

[AngelDellaNotte]

In the US are there still people who are anti-enhanced? I am thinking in my back story including a senator who was lobbying against enhanced people's rights.

I'm used to using spoiler tags, thanks!

Enhanced people have strange and scary powers, a bigger threat than terrorists who only have guns and bombs. And have no lobbyists protecting them. I'm sure the NRA are pointing out to their members how it is every American's constitutional right to protect themselves against this hidden menace and are pushing for an end to any talk about assault gun bans and for universal conceal carry rights. I can see EWAT units being formed to fight the menace that the Enhanced may pose.

So I'm sure you'll have a few senators making allegations and demanding investigations. And a few conspiracy nuts whispering we're actually aliens.

But that's just my take on it. This could turn out to be an ARCSWAT-style game instead of X-Man.

[StarCatcher]

you're welcome! and yah I agree with Enigma plus I mean it's america. The opinions vary so much here but I'm sure there is a huge group of anti-enhanced. Y'all are making your back stories so cool :0 think I may change my characters one up!

[ZeeBat]

Everyone's characters are so cool. ^^ And so are their powers!

I'm still kind of ashamed that I caused trouble for the GM with mine. ^^;
