Notes
Wears glasses (Has both the normal looking one and one used for sports/in action)- Adaptable
Mitch can quickly adapt to her new surroundings, in a new group of friends or in a new environment. She can quickly adjust and change her own self to fit the new situation.
Stern
Mitch could be firm and strict, especially when there is 'rule breaking' being involved. She's not afraid to scold someone for cutting into the line, or for smoking in a non-smoking area and could be harsh to even her own sisters.
Reserved
Mitch is friendly, but there's always a side of her that she keep to herself. She's a little bit of secretive, hiding her own problem and conflict from others. She tried to solve it on her own, stubbornly refusing to tell and ask someone to help with it.
Hesitant
Mitch always doubted her own self, her own choices. Can she do it? Can she actually be a hero? Did she make the correct choice? She's having a serious problem to trust her own judgment, and afraid to make an irreparable mistake. It takes her a while before deciding on what to do.
History
Born to an American father and Chinese mother, Mitch is raised in Shanghai with her two younger sisters. As a child, Mitch never really has a dream to pursue. That boy wanted to be a pilot, that girl wanted to be a nurse. And Mitch? She never dreamed of something, she couldn't see herself becoming someone. So she attended school, went to cram school and have fun with friends aimlessly and without a goal.
Until an accident occurred and Mitch finds out about her power.
She was visiting an amusement park with her friends when someone's superpower activated for the first time, the poor man is unable to control his terrakinesis that's causing massive earthquake and boulders being lifted off the ground and thrown into every direction. People panicked, pushing each other as they ran to all direction. Mitch was shoved down to the ground, and before a boulder could hit and injure her badly a hand made out of solid rock leaped out of the ground in front of her and blocked it.
Mitch, confused, thought that she has the same power as the man. She tries to control the earth, but nothing happens. It took her and everyone a while to realized what her power can actually do.
After graduating from middle school, she is told to attend a Training Facility. Her parents decided to send her to Training Facility 108, a place far from home so she could learn to live alone. Attending the facility and surrounded with people with powers made Mitch realized that she is no longer a normal person and that she has the power to do something and to be an even better person that she was before. She's quite excited, but at the same time really troubled.- Jefferson Castle
A man who worked in the export-import business. He traveled quite a lot but always find time to have some quality family bonding. Mitch is really close with her father, doing some activities together like traveling together across the countryside. After he finds out that Mitch has a superpower, he and his wife decided to keep a close watch on their 2 youngest to see whether they have one too.
Chan Yi
Jefferson's wife. They met at a Chinese New Year party held by Jefferson's company, and five years later gets married. A housewife who's trying her best to take care of three daughters especially when her husband is not home. Yi sees Mitch as a capable and independent child, especially since she's the oldest, and teach her to take care of her sisters. Worried that all of her daughters has power and are given a burden that might be too hard for them to handle.
Chan Fang / Alice Castle
Mitch's sister, 2 years younger than her. Angsty teenager who just entered puberty, she often clashed with her parents and Mitch and like to tease the youngest. Rebellious, Mitch worried that she might be hanging out with the wrong crowd at school. Think that her older sister's power is really cool and wondered if she has a power too.
Chan Ling / Gabrielle Castle
The youngest sister, 5 years younger than Mitch. The sweetest child in the world, she never had a malicious intent and always smile and friendly to everyone even to stranger. A crybaby who easily cried when teased or mocked. Really saddened to see her older sister left home to attend the facility.- Power Replication
The ability to mimic and replicate other people's power and use it for herself.
Power Scanner: Her power allows her to be some sort of a power radar. She can sense people who have a power and differentiate them from normal people. Aside from sensing whether someone has a power, she can also sense what kind of power they have. Psychical, something that related to human's mind, or a shape shifting ability. She can guess it, but she doesn't really know what it is or what it can do.
Ability Learning: Mitch can copy other people's power by first observing how the power is used and studying it.
Limitations
Observation: Mitch has to see the power being used first, and she have to observe what it can do. For example, the terrakinesis power. She saw the man use the power (unconsciously) and watch as it shook the ground and lift off rocks. After seeing what the power can do, only then Mitch could copy the power and uses it as her own.
Study: She must understand how the power work first before being able to actually copy it. This might take a while.
Only one: She can only copy one power at the time, and the power will only last for 30-45 minute and an hour at the longest. The stronger the power, the shorter the duration.
Distance: She can only copy someone's power who are in a 30m radius from her and are within her eye visibility.
Delay: After copying someone's power, she cannot copy it again for an hour.
Uncontrollable: She doesn't own the power, so she has to be cautious when borrowing someone else's power for the first time as she could harm herself or her own friends if she's not careful. Aside from she doesn't know how to properly use the power, the power could get out of control (like the terrakinesis man from her past).
Fragile: Mitch is not a machine nor an actual superhuman. Her body is that of a normal human. The more she uses her power to borrow, the more exhausted her body is. And what dangerous is that Mitch doesn't know exactly how many is her limit. 2 As? 3 Bs? Or 5 Cs? She is forced to be picky to choose which power to copy, and when to use it to fight.- A list of non-superpower (mundane) skills and flaws that your character has. Mundane skills include knowledge such as first-aid training, cooking, paleontology, etc. Mundane flaws include physical disabilities, or expanded information on negative personality traits such as gullibility, clumsiness, vanity, etc.
Keep in mind that your character's superpowers might affect some of their normal skills, for example, we all expect hyper-intelligent supers to have more knowledge-related skills in this list than the average character. However, these skills and flaws should all be things that your character could lose their powers, and still retain.
All characters should have at least two skills and two flaws.
SKILLS:
Mandarin & Cantonese: Born and raised in Shanghai, aside from using it daily Mitch was also taught Chinese in school. She picked up Cantonese from her mom, who use it when talking with her relatives.
Cooking: Mitch always enjoyed cooking, but occasionally it's a bit hard to find ingredients for Western dish in Chinese market. When she's in America, it's the opposite of it. The Chinese food she cooked always taste different, but maybe it was just her missing home.
FLAWS:
Too Kind: She is so kind, it's dangerous, as she will be willing to jump into dangerous situation to help someone when she can. This also make her quick to accept an apologize even when she knew that logically, she shouldn't do that and be more cautious.
Easily Distracted: She is very easy to be distracted.
- Formerly known as the Augmentations tab, it has now been renamed to Tools and Weapons, and will contain exactly what it says - a running list of tools or weapons that your character carries on them and uses along with/instead of superpowers.
Her phone [Tool] That's right, her smartphone. With a few taps and a click, she could find the scientific explanation for a power that will then allow her copy said power.
Notebook: [Tool] She cannot fully trust technology, which is why she kept everything written in her A5 notebook. Inside, she wrote down every information about powers that she knew about especially about the ones belonging to the students and staffs of Facility 108 with waterproof pen ink.
N/A [Augmentation/Tool/Weapon] Hopefully, a power suit in the future....- Although there is now a spot for a character image (since most of you have one), the Gallery tab remains as an area for you to post additional images, theme songs, and so on.
Fixed Mitch's!
You're welcome! OWO7
They both make sense to me. Loved Naran’s 'Messiah Conplex' flaw, with the whole 'want to save everyone' thing. I relate to that a little bit >w<, I think that was smart to include as well.
Tomoko is adorable, I love her so much and don't see anything wrong.
But, I stopped wagging in first, to let others who are better at this and see things I don't, talk first.
I started suggesting things for Mitch because Sin said they didn't know what to suggest and suddenly the idea came to me in a flash. You can say I was misteriously inspired XD
But yeah, I'm staying in the second base. I AM more of a problem solver (but not the one to spot it, usually) and like Syrenrei said on Discord, I'm 'incorrigibly nice', critique is not for me >w<
Aww, thank you!
Mitch: Borrower is a classic hero trope, and I've liked her ever since she was the only girl to take Lucas's sudden appearance in stride. Happy to have her on the team.
Sato Tomoko: IMOTO-SAN! DAITSUKE! ISSYO NI IKIMASHO, NE?
Naran: I approve. And to everyone who thinks she is only A rank, I submit to you: A kinetic energy capacitor might take a long time to charge, but there is no theoretical reason she needs to have an upper bound on the charge, nor a maximal power upon discharge. The upshot of this is that, given enough time to charge, she could potentially cause an extinction level event with one punch. Admittedly, unlike one punch man, she'd die from that, but still. She is, and deserves to be, a hard S rank. 9 Energy brought down a bridge by just looking at it. 9 energy in supplementation to 5 strength is terrifying to contemplate. She could easily level buildings with that, and could plausibly write a world ending event as a prompt. Awesome.
Tomoko: NEE-SAN! DAISUKI? WATASHI MO! UN!
Naran: When i create Naran, i create her with the thought of her being able to punch a hole through a building / ship when her limiter is turned off. But never in my mind i imagine that with enough charge, she could do such a huge damage!
Aaron vs Naran might be interesting to see?
