A Glitch in the System
Basic
Name: Annabelle
Nickname(s): Bitcoin, Clickbait, Belle
Alias: Glitch
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Physiological/Psychological
Appearance:
Height: 4'9 (144 cm)
Weight: 80 lbs (36 kg)
Costume*: Glitch wears a track jacket that once belonged to her father, Data, as well as blue jeans. Sometimes, she wears a blank mask over her face.
Body Modifications/Implants*: N/A
Blood Type: B+
Personality: Mildly fearful of everything as a result of past trauma, Glitch avoids anything that can potentially hurt her, from anything to gale force winds all the way up to the mere sight of a serrated scary-looking knife. This has developed a bit of a shut-in personality, where she would, on a typical day, refuse to go out without proper protection, namely sunscreen and someone else. The only person she would really go out with would be any of the Elites, Data, or her doctor.
While typically fearful, Glitch is definitely excitable when she knows she's safe. She enjoys learning about various things and meeting various people (in a safe environment, of course), and typically gets along with others. Despite her tired appearance with sunken eyes from being unable to sleep at night, Glitch tries her best to hold a smile on her face in public, to make sure nobody knows that something's wrong with her. Glitch has even expressed wanting to go to college and having a normal life, but feels that she can't do any of that if the heroes are still around to cause a mess with her.
Unfortunately, when she's alone, Glitch frequently has her own problems. Being happy with others is a common thing for Glitch, but being alone is just the opposite. She's frequently upset and frazzled on her own, up to crying and having screaming fits at times as well out of both fear, anxiety, and pain. She's still haunted somewhat by the trauma she experienced when she was younger...
Background:
"The hero was here to fight the big terrorist that terrorized our neighborhood. Daddy and I watched from behind the windows, knowing that the hero was going to save everyone in that neighborhood. They were fighting hard and every time they hit each other it sounded like an explosion. The hero got the upper hand, and we stepped back from the window as we waited for her to knock him out. That was all the hero was going to do, but she just h-hit him very hard, so hard we couldn't see him anymore, from the window, and he just jumped...
A-And then...I saw all this dust fly up, and the ground cracked as she did the jumping and punching in less than a second, and everything shook like a huge earthquake, and...and I don't remember. I think my daddy tried to protect me from whatever was happening. I'm sure he did, but...this huge shockwave just hit me so hard that I couldn't even breathe. It hurt so much, everywhere, I saw pieces of wood flying around, and when I fell...I saw my mom...falling from the top floor...her head ...and.... eyes were open...they met mine...and...I'm sorry, I don't want to talk anymore about this! G-G-Get me out of here!"
Affiliations/Connections
Affiliation: New Anarchist
Alignment: Moral Evil
Relationships:
Data - Daddy!
New Anarchy - "My home! Daddy's workplace!"
Death Doctor - "My physician, he gives me lollipops!"
Superpowers/Abilities
Powers:
Programmable Powers - All of Glitch's powers are able to understand simple commands and can be executed unconsciously, up to 3 threads per power and allowing her up to 7 threads. Passive/ambient power threads take up 1 thread, last up to 5 hours and can be reactivated after 30 seconds, while offensive/defensive powers can take up to 3 threads, and can last for 2 minutes before requiring a 5 minute cool-down.
Technological Intuition - Glitch has a complete intuitive understanding of technology. Just by observing a piece of technology perform 1 entire system cycle allows Glitch to understand exactly how it works. This is easier for things such as routers and computers, which make several transactions per second, while firing cycles of rail-guns or heavy weapons can take longer. Glitch cannot understand cycles of technology that last longer than 16 hours, since she is unable to stay awake that long. Understanding will not necessarily allow her to replicate the technology with perfection, but she will be able to apply it to her own powers.
&
Limited Digital Energy Manipulation - Glitch has inherited her father's ability to manipulate digital energy, however injuries have rendered her incapable of using it to its full potential. It isn't nearly as powerful as the original and produces excess heat for some unknown reason.
- Technological Replication - Glitch can replicate forms of technology after learning the process of its cycle. With this, she is capable of replicating typical objects' functionality with digital energy as long as they are somewhat compatible.
- Toaster - The first thing Glitch understood after discovering her powers, Glitch is capable of using her calculator and her palms to heat up objects up to around 200ºC.
- MRI Machine - Glitch has a hard time replicating an MRI machine's functionality with Digital Energy. She has attempted multiple times to use it as a form of echolocation, but all it does is push away small metal objects.
- Boat Electronics - Glitch observed the electronics on an oil tanker at one point on a tour before the accident, which gives her slight control of her autonomous bodily functions, allowing her to manually speed up or slow her heart rate, or speed up digestion.
- Laser Grid - Glitch is surrounded by a passive field of digital energy that extends out 0.5 meters that alerts of incoming threats, as well as granting her reaction times of up to 80 milliseconds as soon as a threat crosses the threshold. These reactions last for the next 20 seconds before requiring a 40 second cooldown.
- Digitally Enhanced Speed - Glitch is granted enhanced speed as a result of the laser grid intuition, able to move at speeds of up to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a sprint, for about 15 seconds, before slowing down to a normal running speed and having to regain stamina.
- Stethoscope & Electronic Scope - Glitch observed the Death Doctor's tools at doctor's appointments. With this, she can pick up on sounds and electronic background through her fingertips and wires of digital energy, as well as read electronic noise on her calculator.
- [NOT DISCOVERED] Radio Tower - Glitch also hypothesized that she could send out a pulse in a 30m radius that will allow her to use a pseudo-echolocation type ability, though this may take a huge drain on her body.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Limited Electrical Resistance - Glitch is slightly resistant to electricity, making tasers only tingle. Larger power sources can knock her out, though it is highly unlikely she can be killed by electricity.
Mastery of Power: Middle, hindered at around 3/5ths her true potential.
Limits:
- Glitch's passive and ambient powers last for 5 hours, meaning she has to refresh her heart modulation and laser grid every five hours. Refreshing autonomous functions leaves her vulnerable for about 10 minutes.
- Glitch has below-average stamina. She can only exert herself physically for 30 seconds before tiring.
- Without the laser grid, Glitch has extremely delayed reaction times, extending well into 500-600 milliseconds if she's tired. (Average is 250 ms).
- Glitch suffers from brain damage, which only enables her to use her attack powers for 2 minutes, before a 5 minute cool-down is in order. Overextending this limit will lead to brain damage.
- Metal projectiles, namely copper, interferes heavily with Glitch's laser grid, causing it to short and dissipate should they breach her skin. She has to manually disable the grid before receiving injections, though this is not always possible.
- Glitch's heat comes from her own body. She is underweight due to the constant relieving of energy, and needs to eat 15,000 calories per day despite her small size. Luckily, it doesn't matter where it comes from.
- Glitch is vulnerable to computer viruses, and interacting with one will make her sick and possibly act weird. This can be counteracted with regular medication.
- Glitch is intelligent, but is unable to come up with trains of thought that last longer than 10 minutes due to brain damage.
- After the accident, Glitch developed mild narcolepsy, which makes her fall asleep at random times, especially if it's stressful.
- Glitch has below-average strength due to daytime muscle weakness, as she is barely able to lift beyond 20 kilograms.
- Glitch has below-average stamina, and likely can't keep up with opponents in a fight.
- Genius-Level Intellect - Glitch is incredibly intelligent for her age. She's able to deduce most logic-type puzzles, given time, and can understand emotions very well, and is also skilled a math. However, she is held back by her delayed reactions and limited thought capacity.
- Weapon Proficiency - Glitch is skilled in the use of small arms, such as .45 ACP and other types of pistols. However, she isn't frequently allowed a gun.
- Huggling - Glitch is skilled in hugging, as well as other supplemental hugging skills. She knows the right hug for the right occasion.
- Computers - Glitch knows a lot about computers. Though she isn't proficient at hacking (due to the way power cycles work), she's still skilled enough to Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Gadgets/Equipment
Equipment:
- Cell Phone, with a police scanner and other important apps.
- Headphones
- Aux cord
- Several USBs to connect her cell phone to things.
- TI-92 Graphing Calculator modified to contain a transmitter and receiver, which she uses as a medium for her powers. Despite it being a calculator, Glitch can't use it for math.
A picture of her, Data, and her mother before the accident in a locked locket that requires a special electrical current and digital frequency to open. The locket can only be opened by Data and Glitch should they use their powers at the same time. Immense physical strength, a powerful electromagnetokinetic, or a very powerful ferrokinetic can open it as well.
