Hatchet
Blunt and Sharp
Name: Adi Schwarz
Codename: Kohar
Age: 23
Ability: Electricity Manipulation
Description: Adi is surrounded by a partially stable static electric field that her body is constantly generating. She relies on metal objects to help her direct it but has very little control over it without a great deal of concentration.
Strengths: It’s incredibly difficult to physically overcome her because the field is painful to touch and in a heightened emotional state the current becomes stronger. When she focuses the electrical output she can enhance the range and power that it strikes.
Weaknesses: Rubber is an effective shield, although give enough time/focus/emotional aggravation she could theoretically fry such a barrier. Water has a double edged effect, in that it presses the field against her skin, causing her the pain of its touch, but it also enhances the range and power of the field. As she’s constantly producing electricity, she needs safe outlets to disperse it; Adi is as likely to be hurt by her ability as anyone, she’s just a little more resistant to it.
Power Grid:
Strength: 3, an unexpected result of constant, mild electro-stimulation to her muscles
Durability: 5, again, a result of her super ability
Speed: 2, and that’s the benefit of the doubt. The strength of her ability frequently induces muscle fatigue, make it difficult for her to exert much at all
Stamina: 5, if she wasn’t, her ability would have exhausted her
Power Mastery: 4, she’s spent most of her life working towards repressing her powers and keeping them from harming others than learning how to really control and manipulate it.
Appearance: Civilian Appearance Adi likes to go barefoot and has an eye for unusual fashion that she doesn’t get to indulge very much. She doesn’t have a super outfit yet.
Personality: Her fierce independence is a result of not being able to be close with anyone, she hates have to ask anyone for anything, and it makes her bitter if she does need help. There’s a boiling well of untapped passion in her that she fears so she pretends to be indifferent, wary of forming relationships because she’s not sure she can actually maintain the façade. Adi doesn’t really know or understand herself, but she’s not a coward, she hasn’t been running, she’s been enduring, displaying a patience that might not have been expected of her.
History: As a child, before the static electric field fully developed, it only made others queasy and uncomfortable when they touched her or were near her, which is why she ended up being given up to fostering. Her young, single mother thought something was wrong with herself that she couldn’t bear to hold her own child, and then in school she was ostracized more than tormented. Books were her sanctuary because they didn’t short out on her like game stations or computers, and they didn’t require interactions with others. In middle school she learned to play the drums and loved it, but when she had to play other instruments she dropped out.
The static field properly manifested when she was about eleven, shocking anyone who touched her and causing most electronics she touched to malfunction. As she progressed through puberty it fluctuated wildly in power--from a painful, numbing shock to a carpet spark--and range--resting against her skin to charging the air a few inches around her. Understanding from a young age the sort of damage that she could do, and having no particular desire to cause pain or initiate violence, she thought keeping to herself was the best method she knew.
By the time she was eighteen, the field has settled to about a half inch around her, and stably produces a shock that's startling in its intensity but brief in its pain, enough to discourage someone from touching her again. It’s been almost impossible to hold a job, especially now that electronics are so commonplace in most work environments and she never finished school. A few months ago she struck luck, finding a small book shop run by an old man who has no desire to integrate computers into his system.
