Mutations

Mutation description: Earth Manipulation/Geokinetics: Tori has the ability to bend the earth to her will. By either taking a piece of the earth like a piece of clay and molding it into different shapes. Some applications of her powers include being able to raise a part of the ground up to form a wall to block projectiles. To be able to dig tunnels and mend broken pieces of the ground and even sense vibrations in the earth like people walking above her when she's underground. Which is only sensitive enough to hear human footsteps and heavy objects. She can also divide a piece of the earth out of the ground and use it as a platform or glider for geokinetic flight.

Weaknesses and Limitations: Tori can only manipulate the earth that is physically around her and cannot create it out of thin air. Tori can only manipulate pure earthen materials (rocks, sand, crystal, dirt) and not artificial ones such as glass. Her earth manipulation is also weak to electricity attacks as it can electrify the very ground or solid objects she uses in her offense.

Tori can only manipulate earthen materials that are up to fifteen feet from her. She can only manipulate one object at a time up to one ton and prolong use of manipulating earth materials makes her tired and also causes her to get dirty really easily. If she goes pass her limits she will receives really bad bodily cramps to severe pain in the back and arms. During geokinetic flight she can only travel up to twenty miles per hour. Her ability to sense vibrations in the earth goes to five meters.


History Of Your Character
Tori Jacobs was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas to Terry and Tina Jacobs and has one older brother named Toby Jacobs who's a professional wrestler. Growing up her parents arranged play dates with their friends' children and she met her childhood and long time friends Shinta and June Greenaway, Lily Mayweather, Nex Aaron, and Mary Thompson. The six did everything together and remain friends to this day.

As Tori grew older she developed an interest in things like video games from playing with her older brother and she took an interest in swimming. Even joining the all girls swimming team at her school and becoming really competitive. While she was dealing with her teenage years she learned that she was in fact bisexual and started dating her first love Danielle Grey before they broke up on good terms.

On her sixteenth birthday Tori would get a 2002 Ford Mustang for a birthday present from her parents and then later drive out to the Wyandotte Plaza where she suddenly came into her powers. She accidentally caused a vicious earthquake in the area that killed ten and injured countless others. She escaped the area and immediately told her parents of what happened. After some testing they found out that she was in fact a mutant and Tori was scared for what they meant for her and her life.

Later Tori told her inner circle of friends and they all accepted her and told her it was going to be okay. Out of guilt for the people lost in the earthquake Tori decided she was going to help people so she took up the mantle of “Gaia” and started fighting crime in the Kansas City area. Her parents were against this and decided to have her sent to New York City to the private school for mutants to learn how to control their powers. Tori reluctantly agreed leaving her friends and family behind to go join the school.

Sample RP:

After several hours spent on the plane from Kansas City to New York City the plane finally made a landing in the NYC airport and Tori grabbed her luggage and headed for the exit of the plane. She descended the steps of the plane and entered the airport to have her bags checked through security before going through the airport and finally towards the city's streets of New York City.

Tori had never been to New York City before. To be frank, she's never been anywhere outside of Kansas except for Kansas City, Missouri and Branson, Missouri. So this was a first for her. The buildings in New York was so tall and huge Tori felt like she was in a concrete forest where everything was just bigger than it was in Kansas City. Which led to her next cliché thought.

'Looks like you're not in Kansas anymore.'

Tori pulled out a map of the area that was given to her by her parents and a red X was marked by where the mansion was located. She folded up the map and used the money that her parents gave her she tracked down a cab and entered it. Paying up front and telling the crab driver where to go as they started up the cab and went down the streets. Tori didn't know who she would find at this mansion or what would happen next. All she knew is she needed to make sure another incident didn't happen.

That no more lives were lost because of her.
