Hm, there isn't a lot of active role plays recently, and I certainly have quite a bit of free time. 
EDIT: Done. This should be really interesting, since I'm playing a barely combat-capable character in a role play that would likely involve some fighting.
Name:
Lacrimosa*
* Lac, for short.
Age:
Around 18-20
Gender:
Female
Personality:
A goth fanatic, Lac seems like goth personified. True to the image, she has a tendency to stay away from people, and keep to herself. As a result, she projects the demeanor of a loner, though she doesn't do much to change this image. In fact, it is this goth make-up that boosts her self-esteem.
However, if people do seek her out themselves, she will do her best to entertain them, despite her social awkwardness.
She has a tendency to avoid, as far as possible, situations that she doesn't want to be in- namely, situations in where she is embarrassed, sad, or just pure angry. She's not a very brave person, and gets really cowardly in situations that go sorely awry. Her powers corresponds well to this personality, which further developed in her a habit of running away from problems.
Yet, it is in her faults where her beauty lies. When she is put in a spot, or teased, she unintentionally reacts in a demure manner. This manner often leads people to feel a desire to protect her.
Power(s):
First Power: Sensory Manipulation
When Lac comes into contact with a person, she is able to alter the target's senses so long she wills it. This alteration is limited, however. Take for instance, sight. She doesn't completely alter the person's sight such that s/he sees nothing, but instead, alters it such that s/he sees something else instead. Alternatively, she can also remove from the person's vision something that s/he can originally see.
To put it simply, her alteration means the addition and subtraction of certain part of the sense. This can be done to the other senses, other than sight.
Note, the fallback of this is that she has to be in direct contact with the person- which makes it a difficult skill to use when she engages in battle.
The skill lasts at most 5 minutes. Any more than that would require continuous contact, and a 'renewal' of the manipulation. Of course, there will be that brief period when the person's sense is actually restored. If the person wishes to break free from her grasp, then that would be the perfect time.
Second Power: Personal Sensory Manipulation
If she is able to manipulate the senses of another, technically, she should be able to do so for herself, no?
Indeed, she can do so for herself, and in fact, is able to do this to herself for an unlimited period of time. Well, of course, this certainly doesn't sound useful at all, but really, the advantages of this ability lies in it's motivational effect.
((
Which is why I think this particular role play should be really interesting for me if they ever start fighting. ))
Third Power: Limited Precognition (Sixth Sense)
Lac occasionally has moments of foresight, in which she is able to see briefly ahead into the future. However, this foresight is usually less than 10 minutes ahead. It only happens when she is under tremendous stress.
The foresight is also usually less than 5 seconds long, is involuntary and provides a very clear picture of what is to happen.
Fourth Power: Emotional Sense Control
This is a power that Lac does not know she has. If she put her mind to it, she is able to release waves of energies that can compel a change in a non-mutant's emotions. For instance, if there were two strangers furious with each other and about to fight each other, and Lac were to feel strongly against the idea of the two fighting, her abilities might kick in to change the emotions of these two non-mutants. Their anger will fade away and they will suddenly make peace- which usually seems unnatural to people around. The emotional change to non-mutants is quite significant.
To mutants, the emotional manipulation happens at a very small extent. Because of the potential god-modding and all that rule-related issues, if I want to use this skill, I'll PM the person I'm influencing.
Side:
Rouge (With a strong aversion to both MERIT and the Black Hand)
Appearance:
She stands at a height of 1.69cm, and is often seen wearing this same dress- with only a variance in color on separate occasions. Her skin is naturally pale, her hair has been dyed a deep purple, and her nails are all painted black. Also, her irises are a natural black color.
Bio:
Lacrimosa was born to a family of Mutants. However, her parents aptly named her to describe their feelings of the situation in their family. At the time of Lac's birth, the two sides of the family, maternal and paternal, were undergoing a deep conflict with one another. Her parents were a ill-fated match.
Now, the father was born of a family of Mutants that went with the MERIT. The mother was born of a family that mostly sided the Black Hand. The two, while they had opposing views to the treatment of humans, saw past the perspective and fell deep in love with each other. Their love created Lac, a child out of wedlock. Now, both sides were pleased to have another Mutant join their ranks, and they certainly wanted Lac. They had no knowledge about Lac's abilities yet, but they just didn't want to let up a chance to have a Mutant that can potentially aid their cause.
Things were peaceful at first, with both sides opting for diplomacy. However, as soon as Lac was born, diplomacy became force. The two family clashed. Despite these, Lac's parents tried their best to raise Lac well.
Considering the situation of the families, it wasn't easy though. In Lac's childhood, she often had to deal with visits by her grandparents, who would fanatically pour out their perspective, and expect her to abide by them. Now, to a child, she couldn't be bothered much. In fact, to have two sides trying to force her to go with their sides, she got, instead, confused. This confusion caused her a lot of trouble, and she was often beaten as punishment.
Because of these bad memories, she never had a good opinions of Mutants in general. Neither did she have any positive thoughts when it came to the fight between the MERIT and the Black Hand.
As she grew, her abilities developed, and of course, both sides came to know of it. The moment it came to their notice, they were absolutely disappointed, thinking it to be useless. Thereafter, she was never bothered again. Her life became more quiet at that point, and she could live a peaceful life, at least up to the age of 16.
At the age, the two families got into a conflict again, this time over Lac's two parents. Now, after all those years when both sides tried their best to 'convert' Lac, they saw the uglier sides. Hence, they dropped their allegiance, and became rouge. Of course, the families were unwilling to let up two Mutants from their membership list.
Who knows if they would go over to the other side and betray them? The families opted to take preemptive measures. However, the Black Hand got to the family first, and coldly killed both Lac's parents. At the time, Lac's precognitive abilities kicked in, and she actually saw what was to happen, and even her own fate. Horrified by what she saw, she sprinted out of the house without any care.
Which saved her life. Her parents were startled by this move, but dismissed it as a sudden urge to meet a friend, and stayed home- thus leading on to their deaths. Meanwhile, Lac only remembered her parents when she was far off, far enough to see her house get raided by some unknown figures. Far off enough to see her parents running out of the house in an attempt to escape, only to get brutally slain.
This memory would stay to haunt Lac for a long time, though Lac later learned to suppress this memory with her abilities.
She spent a few months wandering on the streets, before a prostitute took her in- as a result of her fourth power. She was actually made to prostitute herself, but using her abilities, she never quite had to lose her virginity. All she did was just add the sensual pleasure into the person's senses. >.>
About a year or so later, her powers came to be known again when two Black Hand members observed and identified her to be a Mutant. They tried to recruit her, of course, and naturally, Lac refused. Following convention, they tried to kill her again, but only succeeded with the prostitute that took her in.
On the run again, she is on the verge of losing hope...
