Character

Personality: Lizzy is a personable girl and gets along with strangers pretty well. She won’t go up and talk to them randomly, but when she finds herself in a conversation with them, Lizzy is found to be very friendly. However, Lizzy can be very impatient with people. She wants to get work done correctly and by the rulebook so those who try to deter her from doing so, her temper will flare.
Hobbies/ Interests: Lizzy loves music. She can play the guitar and the piano and her singing ability isn’t too bad either (but that could have a bit to do with her mutation). She also loves to read. Specifically, she loves those cheesy romance novels because she dreams of having her prince come and sweep her off her feet.

Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Absolutely hates snakes because she woke up with one only inches away from her face when she went camping with her father as a young child.
Special talents: (not related to mutation) She can play the guitar and the piano

Morality

Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Miss Calver would be on the good side because she’s a bit of a goody two-shoes. She’s grown up around humans her entire life, and she just can’t turn against them. Her parents still love and support her even though she’s a mutant. One day she hopes that mutants will just be accepted in society and no one will make a big deal out of it. Lizzy doesn’t open up to a lot of people about her powers because her power blends in extremely well, but sometimes she wishes she could show off because Lizzy thinks her power is just awesome.

Mutations

Mutation description: She has the power to mimic voices/sounds. She can do an exact copy of any sound she hears and, like with regular speaking, can either produce that sound softly or loudly.
Strengths: She can deceive people into thinking they are someone else just by the sound of her voice.
Weaknesses: Her voice is her only weapon. If someone sees her speaking in let’s say a man’s voice, it would be obvious it’s not really them speaking. She can only mimic voices that she’s heard as well. She can’t make up voices that she’s never heard before. Lizzy can also mimic people’s voices for only about five minutes before she has to rest using her normal voice.

Secondary mutation description: Lizzy can mimic high-pitched noises loudly. It's like instead of screaming like a regular person she can scream a high-ptiched noise like the ding on a wine glass.
Strengths: Hearing these kinds of noises louder than intended can hurt one's ears. The worst damage Lizzy can do is slow down whoever hears it. The pain would be hard for people to endure so until Lizzy's special scream stops, they wouldn't be able to move easily. There would be some ringing in their ears for a bit too.
Weaknesses: Lizzy has to have heard the noise before. Also, she can only do this for a very short amount of time because it's like screaming. Screaming uses quite a bit of breath and it begins to hurt after a little bit, so Lizzy's special scream can only be prolonged for a little bit. Also, if she’s susceptible to hurting her own ears if she doesn’t use some sort of earplugs for high-pitched tones.

Fighting Style

Explanation: She’s not one for fighting much, but will if she must. If she can, she’ll try to deceive her enemies if she can hide and speak in their leader’s voice. If that’s not possible, she’ll need earplugs and scream a very high pitch – like the feedback on speakers or the highest note on a piano – as loud as she can.
Pros for fighting style: It’s possible she can confuse her enemies if she speaks in their leader’s voice. Also, her enemies wouldn’t be able to stand the high pitch she screams at them.
Cons for fighting style: She doesn’t know actual combat, so she can only stun rather than fight or kill.

The X-men/ The Order/ The NYPD/ Unaffiliated: Currently Unaffiliated

History Of Your Character:
Elizabeth was born to Albert and Cora Calver in Giddings, Texas on June 24, 1992. Her father worked for the city of Giddings as a police officer, while her mother was a stay-at-home mom.

She grew up normally: went to the public schools, had friends, had a good relationship with her parents. Her love became music at an early age. Her father used to play guitar in a band back in college while her mom knew piano. From her musically gifted parents, she learned how to play both the guitar and the piano. She even became actively involved in her school choir in order to develop her voice more.

Her life turned around her senior year of high school. It was the pep rally for the school football team who had made it to state. This was their giant send off before they played their state rivals. Lizzy was the student representative in charge of introducing the choir who was about to sing their school fight song. The principal said a few words and turned it over to Lizzy. She began talking, but not in her own voice. She perfectly mimicked the principal’s voice, and she couldn’t stop it. The whole school heard it, and for the next few minutes Lizzy couldn’t stop talking in other people’s voices. She was so embarrassed that she ran out of the gym. When a teacher approached her to try to comfort her, she screamed a high pitch at her. The pain from that pitch hurt the ears of anyone around them.

Since then, Lizzy’s mother, Cora, decided to homeschool Lizzy. Not only that, but they decided to get away from Giddings and start fresh. They moved to New York City. Lizzy finished up high school and started to work on controlling her ability. Her parents know how hard it’s been for her to adjust, and they’ve been helping her every step of the way. Albert got a new job in New York. He is now a security guard for a local law firm, and Cora is still a stay-at-home mom.

Lizzy didn’t want to go to college or at least not yet, so she’s been working on her music. The blessing in disguise is that if she wants to sing like Adele or Lady Gaga she can, but she doesn’t have to when she wants to sing her own tunes. To pick up a little cash, she plays her guitar down by the subway. She hopes one day she’ll be able to pay for an apartment on her own, but currently it’s just not an option with living in New York

Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?: I actually googled “x-men proboards rpg” and this came up! I discovered rp a few weeks ago, and I thought x-men would be an awesome rpg! So here I am!
Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Nope.
Sample RP:
It was just another day in New York City for Lizzy. She strapped her acoustic guitar to her back and left her fair-sized apartment. Her walk down the street was interesting as always because Lizzy eavesdropped on people’s different conversations and silently imitate their voices to herself. She had to make sure no one around her would identify what she was actually doing. People probably thought she was just a crazy person instead.

Ever since her initial discovery of her ability, Lizzy became a bit of a people watcher. Sometimes she would just sit on a bench in Central Park and as people zoomed past her going about their day, she would imitate their voices to herself. She found that in doing so, she could control her ability better. There was no way she wanted another outburst like what happened at school a couple of years ago.

Lizzy found her usual spot just down the subway stairs about three blocks from her apartment. A few other usuals were setting up their spots as well. Lizzy waved to them as she tuned her guitar. There weren’t many people Lizzy knew her ago since she started being homeschooled, so the other artists and homeless folks near the subway entrance were the closest things Lizzy had to friends. They were nice enough people, and a couple of them would come up to her while she took a break to compliment her on her singing.

The guitar was tuned and Lizzy had her guitar case opened in front of her. Some days were slower than others, but Lizzy began to sing. She began with a few Adele songs followed by original Lizzy creations. All she could do was sing and play to her heart’s content and wait for somebody to come along and give a generous donation to her guitar case.
