Name: Alexandra (Alex) Coburn
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Power(optional): Alex’s power is weight manipulation. She was born with it but it would not manifest for many, many years. She grew up in an environment that had a higher than average gravity which influenced her ability.
She can only manipulate the weight of objects that she has touched at least once before and is within view. Alex is limited to the number of things she is able to affect depending on the size of the object. If she herself does not revert the weight back to normal, it will revert after thirty minutes. This ability does not affect any livings things.
Desired Class/Desired Position: Campus Police
Personality: Alex is a very scary character who generally feels that she is above everyone else, preferring to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She has a habit of attacking people that confront her without thinking which sometimes ends up not going to well for her. After coming to Foresta, it has been her goal to refrain from assaulting anyone, let alone a student which would get her in very serious trouble. She prefers to be alone and hates to be around crowds of people but will tolerate it if necessary.
Alex believes in her strength one hundred percent but that is not to say that she doesn't understand what limits are, it’s just that she hasn't
found her own quite yet. The fact that she hates crowds and believes only in herself goes on to develop yet another trait: Alex dislikes working together with people preferring to do things her own way. That isn't to say that she isn't able to do so when the situation is too much for any one person to handle.
By nature, she is very strict on students about following the rules and is reinforced by her position at the school. If it is within her rights, she will chastise a student if they are found in violation of a school policy but generally will not interact with people otherwise. Alex will fiercely defend the school from anything that would threaten its student and their way of life.
A rare trait about her is her love for small animals, ranging anywhere from birds to hedgehogs which incidentally are her favorite. Her soft spot for small animals often gets in the way as Alex is not able to fight at her full strength if one is close enough. This often leads to her taking damage in order to keep it safe.
Appearance: Let’s start from the top. Alex has a head full of blond hair, light gold if you will, that reach down slightly past her shoulders. A lock of hair that comes down on each cheek, framing the side of her features as though it were a work of art and the bangs that drop down ever so slightly below her eyebrows but above her eyes so as not to obstruct her field of view. Alex prefers to keep a ponytail for the rest of her hair to keep it in check while she moves around. She has a fairly toned body from keeping in shape, something of a hobby if you will, that was influenced from her experiences with her ability.
Alex has emerald colored eyes that always seem to contain a sea of thoughts which one could easily get lost in. Her small button nose and thin looking smile find a place on her face but don’t let that fool you, she can be threatening when she needs to be. She stands at a good height of 5’10” which isn't bad considering the average height of a person.
She normally wears extremely formal clothes whether it is an occasion that calls for such attire or a social gathering. Alex is a fairly simple person that does not feel the need to buy multiple pairs of outfits. Once on a blue moon, she will don less formal clothing and even that is not without a fuss. Alex carries around rattan sticks made out of a durable yet light metal to assist in her duties.
Weaknesses: Alex’s love for small animals prevent her from fighting at full strength if one is in proximity of her fight. Because she prefers to be alone, Alex is very stubborn about asking for people’s help even if it is the most logical solution to a problem. When she becomes extremely agitated, her control over her power slips ever so slightly causing her to be rooted to the ground wherever she may be.
Strengths: Alex has never been one to doubt her strength no matter what the challenge. She is proficiently trained in the use of her rattan sticks, something that is fairly useful when dealing with rowdy students that refuse to obey.
History: Alex grew up in an underground society where all the unwanted people of the world was sent to. She did not choose this life but it was not something she had any power of as a baby. Her parents were branded as criminals and so were forced to live out their lives in the hell hole that was now their home. There were no rules, no government, no order of any kind where they were; it was truly the lowest of the low
She grew up living on scraps, stealing from others when she had to, living each day never know whether she would survive to see another. This life was all she ever knew and it continued for many years until one day when Alex was around 8 years old that she learned of the world outside. She then decided that leaving her home and discovering what more there was to life would be her life goal.
It was many more years before Alex was strong enough to even attempt to leave. The entrance, and only exit to this hellhole, was thoroughly guarded by the prosperous nations who did not want any of them to leave. She had found books depicting forms for the use of a Bo staff, the last of it’s kind as the rest of the books had been burned. Quietly, Alex practiced the forms everyday for hours on end, after all, what else was there to do. In the beginning, it required the entire day to go through each of the forms properly and with multiple sets, but as the years forged on she was able to finish in a matter of hours and later in an hour alone.
At this point, she knew that there was no point in waiting any longer and set out that very night. It had been years since anything had happened and so the soldiers guarding the place grew complacent and weak. She quickly dispatched a guard, opening a hole big enough for her to slip through and escape into the outside world. Once outside, she did everything in her power to integrate herself in the strange new society she had found.
Skipping ahead years later, Alex had fully become a part of society and was now working as a private security guard. Life was great and at this point she had learned of her abilities and learned to control it on her own. At first, it confused her greatly and she didn't understand the gift she was born with but that eventually came to pass.
She had been feeling a pull towards an unknown place ever since her powers had manifested but she ignored it, putting it off as unimportant. It wasn't until a Gifted had attacked them that she learned more of that feeling. The man was confused as to why she wasn't at Foresta, a school founded specifically for the Gifted, and instead lived among the less gifted people.
Later that day, Alex turned in her resignation and then sent a letter to the school she had learned so much about. It didn't take long for her to be accepted and is now working on campus as campus police, which incidentally was not so different from her old job.
