LORI FAUST
aka CHARGE

"If you never say your name out loud to anyone, they can never ever call you by it."

HISTORY - Lori comes from your typical American home: she was born into a family of two loving parents who then became bitter and divorced. Lori's mother has gone on to remarry and start a whole new family, and Lori's father... well, he never did recover. Currently on the run from the police for one too many misdemeanors, Lori's dad left her the only thing bought and paid for, the trailer he'd lived in since Lori's mother kicked him out.

After ferreting out the Sanctuary's dark secret about the Order and Haywire, naturally Lori wanted to be on the winning team. She lived for a time partly in the trailer and partly at the Sanctuary. It was an arrangement that helped her keep her boyfriends from crossing paths. But nothing that good can last forever. After a knock down drag out fight between Jacen, Lori, and Mars. Jacen left and Lori, on Mars' advice, decided to get Jacen the one gift he would never think to get himself... resolution.

While in Florida, Lori discovered the truth about Jacen's parents' deaths, human adaptation, a federal program with a "one of us, one of them" policy, and a machine meant to help locate and destroy the Adapteds. Naturally, information comes at a cost.

POWERS - Lori has the power to manipulate and control magnetic fields as well as the ability to absorb and control electricity. Her magnetic manipulation results in what could be mistaken as a clumsy telekinesis that only applies to ferrous metal materials. Lori most often utilizes her ability to absorb electricity to fuel her body's battery. Her power level is directly related to how confident or powerful she feels. Her favored attack is the "zap nap" a touch based attack that delivers a powerful shock, straight from her power level to the opponent, to leave her adversary wriggling on the floor or unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

A lesser known and lesser explored venue of Lori's power is a magnetic based form of levitation.

POSTS TO SEE: Desperate Times - Lori meets Bacchus Brickson AKA Giants Bane in the vault of a bank that they just both happen to want to rob. Lori employs him to carry the cash, help her send a message and pay a debt, and then lures him back to her place where she proceeds to knock him out and take most of the cash. Desperate to recharge, and celebrate, she summons a bolt of lightning that sends her on a over-charged electric trip through the city. Meanwhile, she leaves Bacchus to rot, unconscious in her bath tub, while her apartment burns down around him. This is the official end of Lori trying to be a normal human... All in all, a pretty good day.

Flawless (solo) - In the search for why Lori's mother left one perfectly okay family to start another one, Lori finds and torments her mom's psychiatrist into revealing his secrets... and some of her own.

Null and Void - "Jacen, meet Mars, he's my favorite book. Mars, meet Jacen.... he's special." Lori's two love interests meet and then fight. And after Jacen storms off in a tizzy to his other girlfriend, Mars and Lori go out for Chinese.

Like a Hurricane (Solo) - The thread that sparks off a great deal of discovery and a thread arc regarding the Adapteds Plots. The thread trail includes The Package That Started It All, Game On, Desparate Measures, Ridin' Dirty and more to follow.

Scary. Complex. Well-written. Trailer trash. Of awesome. Out of all our baddies she terrifies me the most, because I believe her.

You go girl.
