Full Name: AX-431. She calls herself Bran.
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Power(s): In theory, Bran’s power is just controlling protons, but in practice, she controls light and electricity through this.
This can work in reverse, but only by changing the light to a different wavelength. The light comes from her hands, which always glow very slightly. Although her light is very weak for illuminating large areas, when concentrated, it could probably dazzle someone, or possibly blind temporarily if they had sensitive eyes.
Her electricity does work fairly normally, although she can change its voltage and direction to make it pass around insulative materials, or through them for a very short distance (I’m talking a few millimeters). It forms from her hands as well, and is usually present. It’s an electric blue color and glows slightly, but is hard to discern.
She can spray it out of her skin from almost anywhere on her body and uses this instinctively in plenty of situations. If she concentrates, she can use it to control things, or even control electricity in her vicinity. She can also shut electronic things down by just blasting them as hard as she can with her electricity.
Her eyes glow if she uses too much power. The further she goes, the brighter the glow, and thee more golden her eyes become. It doesn't take a lot of time to start triggering this.
Bran has had her abilities for as long as she can remember, and has been undergoing training for them for most of her life.
Her powers affected her whole life. They were the reason that she was created.
Appearance: She’s a little taller than average, but not a lot. Her hair is quite long, reaching easily back past her shoulder blades, but it’s normally tied up into a ponytail, a little off center. Her hair’s a dark brown color, similar to her eyes. It’s naturally a little curly. She has a long fringe, normally pushed back behind one ear.
She’s slim, but that shouldn't fool anyone about her physical capabilities. She may not be strong, but she’s quick.
Bran avoids the use of make-up or jewelry of any kind. It’s mostly because she thinks if you’re going to hide your face, you might as well do it with a mask. She’s naturally quite pretty.
She’s of mixed race, although mostly Caucasian.
She has her code (AX-431) printed on the inside of her left forearm in black. It’s only been there for about a year. Bran also lacks a navel.
She has a series of small scars across her fingers; some of them burns from her powers. She has a few other scars from her training, but most of them are hidden under clothing, except for one along her left cheek (It’s long and thin, stretching down from near the corner of her eye).
Bran tends to go for quite neutral colors in clothing, and always seems to be able to blend into her environment somewhat. She’s a little bit of a fan of long coats, and always seems to have about 10 pockets, filled with all kinds of objects. She also wears gloves most of the time, to help protect other people or objects.
Personality: She’s a rational thinker, and dislikes behaving without a motive of some sort (although “orders” are sometimes enough from someone whom she sees as authoritative or deserving). Her behavior changes from day to day, depending on if there’s any rational to be acted upon.
Normally, she just wants to keep her freedom, and hates the idea of going back to her roots. She doesn't want to get on the bad side of the law, in case they lock her up, or worse- work out where she came from and send her back.
Bran is good at controlling herself, so although it’s clear how she’s feeling, she won’t let it affect her actions very often.
She’s bilingual, speaking Cymraeg and English. She chose her name from the Cymraeg word for “Raven,” as a reference to her past. Bran doesn't mind being alone. She finds it hard to like people, but she does try her best, as she sees no point in making unnecessary enemies, and it’s not exactly like she has friends to spare.
She has some controversial views, and is generally extremely liberal.
Bran enjoys freedom, and is quite happy just walking around. She spends much of her free time training herself in some way or other, more often than not by running. Despite this, she still has a tendency to follow orders or requests.
She has a habit of just freezing when she’s concentrating, or is forced to wait for a few seconds.
Picture(optional):
Weaknesses: She is not immune to her own electricity, so if she’s not concentrating, or falls unconscious while using it, she’s likely to injure herself, or at least get hurt. This has happened before, but only with minor shocks. These are what caused the marks on her hands.
Bran also finds physical contact hard, as she could easily accidentally shock someone. Her gloves do help a lot, but they can’t guarantee.
Bran is claustrophobic, which made her past a nightmare for her.
She finds it hard to identify with other people, which is largely responsible for why she finds it hard to get on well with them.
Because of how she was created, she doesn't have so much resistance to diseases as most people do, from a lack of antibodies.
Strengths: Because of the way Bran naturally thinks, she finds it easier than most people to decide what other people’ judgments, motivations and actions are. She’s a bit of a problem solver in terms of this, which makes her useful for finding information, and what made her so useful for less moral purposes in the past.
She’s had years of practice with her abilities, and although she hasn't reached the limits of what she can do, she knows how to utilize them quite effectively, and spontaneously.
Bran has good self-control and is unlikely to do something she regrets (unless ordered to do so).
She knows how to keep herself in prime form.
Bran has a really bizarre set of skills, and they’re pretty wide.
History/Family: Bran was part of a secret experiment to see if powers were related to genetics. Bran is a clone of another girl who also was Gifted. The experiment was a partial success. She never met the DNA donor.
She was cloned via machine, not with a mother, etc.
Bran grew up in a research facility in Snowdonia (North Wales), kept in a small area, with very little in the way of comfort. She was taken out for training with her abilities every day, along with some more questionable training in the grounds. The facility also lent out their subjects to anybody who could pay highly enough for the use of Gifts. They were far enough from society that the facility was pretty much unknown in itself, and barely anyone outside knew its purpose.
In a way, she did have siblings, but only in the sense of them being cloned by the same people.
Bran only came out of the facility a few times in fifteen years before she escaped. She was meant to be assassinating someone the last time, but instead she took her chance and just left.
Bran has killed before, on her other trips out of the facility. Let’s just say she’s a pretty good shot with a rifle. There are no outside records of her existence except as an uncaught murderer in police files.
After all her training, she found stowing on a boat fairly easy. That’s how she survived for the few months before she ended up being discovered on a ship to Port Albion (stealing food from the kitchen) and she was left on the island.
In Character sample: (N/A)
(I've kind of made her with the intentions of going into Sapphire, mostly as they have the lowest amount of pupils. I thought having such a dark past would be interesting for such light based powers:D ).
