Character



Personality: Normally, she has a “it is what it is” mentality about her life and she is quite happy with herself. She doesn’t care about being liked or having lots of friends. Although when it comes to her job, she does turn on the charm and perkiness to help sell the house. She loves to sing in the shower, and will happily take herself out on dates just to get out some.

Hobbies/ Interests: She likes music, reading, sleeping,

Job or part time job and description: Real Estate Agent. She shows houses and land spaces to potential buyers. She works with clients to find houses in the style they would like and that is priced within their budget.

Fears/ phobias/ concerns: She is afraid to really open up, let someone in, and fall in love with him/her. And she really dislikes cats.

Special talents: She takes a kickboxing class and does yoga regularly.



Morality



Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Chaotic Neutral. She has a heart, but for the most part she really doesn’t care about people, but you get what you get. If you’re nice she’ll be nice, if not, she’ll have no qualms messing with you.



Mutations



Mutation description: Mutant Sense—she can tell if someone within five feet of her is a mutant.



When she is near someone who is a mutant, her hand begins to tingle (depending on which side of her the mutant is closer to). As she gets closer to a mutant, a magnetic-like pull increases in strength to help her discern where they are.



Mutation Transfer— Emma can copy up to two mutations and temporarily bestow a mutation to someone else. She cannot use any stored mutations herself. She can only store two mutations at a time. Only one mutation can be bestowed to any one person and once a power is bestowed, Emma does not have a copy stored any more. She can bestow up to two mutations (as many as she can store.), but they must be different mutations. The same mutation cannot go to two people. She can copy and store any mutation.



To bestow a power, she must first ‘gain’ said mutation via full hand contact with a mutant, and the contact must last about five seconds. To bestow a power, she outstretches her hand towards a target within ten feet, and a black handprint appears on the person in the same place she acquired the power. She does not have to physically touch someone to bestow a mutation to them. The original mutant in no way loses their power. She only copies their power and stores them in one of her two hold slots. Mutants who are bestowed a power have their mutation inaccessible for the duration, (which is about four hours) or until he/she washes off the handprint left on them after being bestowed. Once she bestows to someone a mutation, that copy of the mutations disappears from her hold slot and that space become empty. This means that she cannot hold onto someone’s copied mutation. To access that mutation again, she must regain it by retouching the individual mutant with full hand contact again.

Strengths: Can tell if a nearby person is a mutant. Could give an advantage in confrontation. Causes chaos, which is fun. There isn’t a mutation that she can’t copy or store.

Weaknesses and Limitations: She has no idea what mutation someone has until she sees them use it, or bestows it on someone else. She has to ‘gain’ a mutation before bestowing it. She can only bestow one mutation on any given person at a time, and only two people can have bestowed powers at once. They must not be the same mutation. She can only bestow mutations to people within ten feet of her. Anyone outside that range is too far for her to bestow mutations to. And these bestowed mutations only last for about 4 hours and then dissipates. Also, if she doesn’t use her mutation after a period of a couple of weeks, then her body begins to “forget” the mutations she has gained. The only way for her to hold onto a mutation for as long as two weeks would be to not bestow it to someone. Bestowed people can also get rid of their bestowed mutations by washing the hand print that appears after being bestowed off of their body. Bestowed people must stay within 10 miles of her for the bestowed powers to stay with them for the four hour time limit. Otherwise, the bestowed power dissipates.




Physical Abilities



General Physical Capabilities: She is pretty flexible from doing yoga daily. And she has gained decent speed, strength, and stamina from taking kickboxing.

Fighting Style: Kickboxing

Fighting Style Pros/Cons: She’s quick on her feet and mostly uses her kickboxing as a means of exercise and defense, if need be. So, she could use this to her advantage in a fight, but she isn’t very good at being able to fight from the ground. She mostly depends on her speed to get good punches and kicks in.



History Of Your Character

Emma was raised in a lower middle class family. Her parents argued a lot, but stayed together for her sake. She later learned that her father was a perpetual cheater. Her mother was always heartbroken about his affairs and that heartbreak transferred to her self-image and worth. As Emma got older, she became more and more upset at the hurt her father caused her mother. She became angry and that translated into her life at school. She would get into fights with known bullies and acted like she didn’t care when it came to classes. It wasn’t that she wasn’t smart or didn’t pay attention to what they were learning. She would read the texts and listen to what the teacher said. She just saw no point in doing the homework or group assignments. She didn’t like being around other people. No one cared about her and what her life was like. She didn’t deliberately do things to hurt people, unless you hurt her first. And if you were nice to her, then she returned the gesture in the same manner. When she graduated high school, she started taking classes at a local community college in business and marketing. She thought they may become useful somehow later on. One day on her way home from classes, she noticed that a local gym was offering kickboxing classes for a small fee. She stopped by and signed up for the beginner’s class. After their first class, Emma really enjoyed the workout and the disciplines they started to build. So she decided that she would continue taking their classes. After years and years of training and classes, she finished up taking the Intermediate classes. By that time, she had also managed to finish her degree in Business and Marketing as well. She had been staying at home with her parents to save on money while she was in college. She had hoped to find a job soon so that she could have enough money to get her own place and have her own life. And to be honest, she would have been happy to get away from her Dad. She found a job a few months after graduating from college. She worked as a receptionist for a big real estate agent in her town. She even got to have her hand at showing houses to clients and matching listings to client requirements when her boss was on vacation or out of the office in those days. She got really good at working her charm and finding ways to really help sell houses. She had noticed that sometimes when she was showing couples a house, her hand would start tingling. Then after a handshake, leading someone by their arm, or some type of full hand touch, it would suddenly stop. She didn’t think anything of it at the time other than it being a little weird and would go about the rest of her day. Her boss became very impressed with her, but wouldn’t accept her requests for a raise or promotion. She started to grow very tired of this, as she did most of the work and he wouldn’t give her credit where it was due. After three years of working for him, she’d had enough of his working conditions. She kept working for him, but was keeping her eyes out for another job to put in for. She had come home, after putting a few applications in town, to her mother sobbing and devastated from learning about another affair going with her father. Emma sat down with her Mom and convinced her to finally leave her dad. She told her mom that she didn’t need all the pain and hurt he was causing her. And that she had put up with it for far too long. As they were getting ready start packing things in the car, her Dad came home. He saw their bags and began to argue with Emma and her mother. He demanded that they were not going to leave and that he would drag her back to their house if she tried to leave him. He then tried to yank the bags from her Mom’s hands. Emma tried to stop him. He pushed her away as she did so. She got up and slugged him right in the face. He dropped to the floor, dropping the bags as well. Emma peered over him and started yelling at him about all the pain he had caused the family and how much he had hurt her Mom. She told him how much of an embarrassment it was to have him as her father. In exasperation, she threw her hands out and screamed “We’ve had enough of it! We’re leaving!” As she did so, the figure of her father suddenly began to shrink and transform until what was left in his place was that of a little orange tabby cat. Emma’s eyes grew and she quickly grabbed her Mom’s hand. She grabbed the couple bags from the floor and pulled her Mom out the door. They both jumped in the car and left. Her Mom asked her what happened. Emma told her she had no idea, but she didn’t wanna stick around to find out what was going to happen next. She and her mother then hopped from place to place for the next five years so her father wouldn’t find them, if he wasn’t still a cat like they left him. They never stayed in the same place for more than a few months at the time. Eventually they made it to New York and figured that if he hadn’t found them yet after five years, then maybe they could finally settle down here.

Sample RP:

Emma had woken up early one Saturday morning before her Mom. She changed out of her tank top and boxers in to a random tee shirt from her closet and she grabbed a pair of jeans from a hamper. She walked into the kitchen of their two bedroom apartment where the cold from the tile floor licked the bottoms of her bare feet. She quickly got coffee started and then went back to finish getting ready. She went to the bathroom, turned her curling iron on waited a few minutes for it to get hot. She curled her hair into some nice waves and lightly misted her hair with hair spray. She heard the coffee maker finishing up and went to make her a to-go cup of coffee. She had planned on going to the market and finding some fresh veggies and groceries for her Mom. She wanted to let her Mom sleep in this morning and surprise her with some really good finds. Emma let her to-go cup sit on the counter to cool some while she finished getting ready. She walked to her bedroom and quickly got her socks and boots on. She looked in the mirror and smiled at herself, realizing she had also put on her favorite band shirt today. She walked into the entryway, grabbed her leather jacket off the coat hook and put it on. She wrote her mom a message on a post-it, “I’ve gone out to the market for you. Be back soon. I love you.” She placed it on the fridge and grabbed her coffee from the kitchen counter. She then walked out the door, making sure it was locked before walking down the stairs of the apartment building. She knew the good markets would be towards the other side of town so she pulled her ipod out of her jacket pocket, put her ear buds in, and turned her music on as she started out in that direction. She people watched a little as she was on her journey. She sipped on her coffee a little to keep warm, realizing how nippy it was today. Every now and then her hand would start to tingle and then dissipate as kept walking. She hadn’t felt that feeling in a while. She was kind of curious as to what it meant, but also scared at finding out what she really could do. “Maybe today would be a good day to really find that all out”, she thought. “Do I just turn people into cats or is there something more to this tingling?”, she pondered the thought as she continued to walk down the street toward the market.
