Character Name: Cora Fuerte
Character Aliases (if applicable): Blaze
Gender: Female
Age Bracket (Twenty Something, Early/Mid/Late Twenties, etc): 28, late twenties
Character Description (detail hairstyle, physical features, clothing style, etc): Cora is a tomboy. She perfers baggy jeans and a tank top to anything else, and nothing with loud colors. She doesn't like to bring attention to herself if she can help it. She has long, black wavy hair that she keeps in a pony tail most of the time. When she has a particularly strong emotion her black hair streaks red. Her body is muscular with an olive skin tone and her eyes are a dark brown.
Personality (character traits, likes, attitude, misconceptions, etc): Blaze is a hot head (no pun intended), she's got a lot of bark and even more bite. She uses sarcasm in her everyday life and is very rarely serious with anyone other than her sister, Jo. However, when she is serious, she's usually threatening someone.
She can be viscious and tends toward the dark more often than not. Her sister is the one that keeps her from going too far. Blaze is a fierce protector of those she loves which at the moment involves two living beings; her sister Sparks and her beloved Staffordshire Oy.
Despite her hard exterior, Blaze has a remarkably tender side. She loves animals and nature and feels most at home in the woods. She has never had much and needs even less. As long as she has clothes on her back and food in front of her she is satisfied.
Mutant Powers (include things like range, potency, and other relevant factors. The following abilities are currently not permitted for players:- Regeneration, - Reincarnation, and - World Warping/Bending):
Pyrokenetic: Blaze can control heat and fire. The heat of her flames can bend steel when she's at her prime but usually that takes a considerable amount of will and concentration.
Heat Absorption and Transfer: Blaze can absorb the heat around her to heat her own body or keep others warm as well. If she's in a confined space the air will grow noticably colder. She sometimes can steal the heat from another living being to the point of hypothermia but again, this takes concentration.
Fireproofing: Cora is natrually fireproof, her clothes however are another story. She has the ability to produce a thin, oily substance that can make any object or person fireproof. They will feel the heat but not feel pain or be harmed. She uses this ability to mostly keep her clothes from turning to ash but has been known to coat her dog so that he can stay close to her.
Infrared sight: This is a newly discovered talent and is not reliable. It's a skill that she has been working to improve but tracking heat signatures is harder than it looks.
Explosive Fire: Blaze's main weapon is the use of her explosive fireball. She has used it in the past against humans and it is distructive to human flesh. She can only throw the ball maybe 20 yards (as far as she can throw a baseball) so if you make her angry, get out of range quick. She can use this explosive fire to make a sheild as well.
Non Mutant abilities (skills, education, or interests): Cora is a practiced fighter, though has no formal training. She is stronger than she looks and has been known to overpower human men without needing to burn them, though she burns them anyway. Formal education is a deep privilege that she never had. She quit school in 10th grade and never looked back. Luckily she loves reading and has learned a great many things through books. She loves animals, reading, and science. She has basic wilderness survival skills and can build a fire in a flash (lol).
Weaknesses (power limitations, character flaws, social disadvantages, etc): Cold and water are a major disadvantage for Cora. She can warm herself or dry herself off but it takes time and energy. Her metabolism is fast and she needs to eat often to keep her strength up. She tends to be arrogant and can miss small details which has gotten her into trouble. Backing down is not something that comes naturally to her and she bites off more than she can chew quite often. She's socially awkward and not great with small talk. She tries to hide her social ineptitude with sarcasm and meanness which pushes people away.
Equipment (tools, weapons, gadgets, specialized clothing, vanity items, etc):
Blaze has no equipment save her animal companion, Oy. He is a large grey-blue Stafforshire terrier who is very well trained. He knows dozens of commands. Oy is eager to please and a natural worker dog. He is very protective of Blaze and Sparks and has the scars to prove it.
Previous History (feel free to be brief & cover just the important events):
Cora and Jo were separated at birth. Cora had the good fortune to be adopted when she was three. Her parents, however, were extremely religious and often physically abused her. It was during puberty that her powers manifested themselves and her parents kicked her out. She tried to keep attending school but eventually dropped out.
It was during this time that she developed her love of nature. She often camped out in the woods and came to town when she needed more food or clothing. She was always a natural loner so that didn't bother her.
She robbed people for money and over time became more and more dark. She accidently killed someone in her late teens and she didn't dislike it. She could have spiraled out of control but that was around the time she met Jo, who grounded her and kept her from giving in to the darkness. She's still on the edge.
Character Goals, Aspirations, & an interpretation of your faction's dogma:
Blaze has recently been taken by the Monolith and her main goal is to get out of captivity. Her sanity revolves around freedom and being held against her will is not beneficial to her mental health. She knew that due to her positive attitude towards the brotherhood that she could be threatened but her arrogance blinded her to the fact that she could actually be taken. Her only objective now is to be free, to find out if her sister has been taken and find her dog.
What themes and plots are you hoping to experience in the game: Drama, action and a chance to get back in the writing groove.
Writing Sample (topic of your choice):
Oy's low whine breaks into Blaze's cloudy thoughts. Laying low has never been a skill she had. When Sparks told her that they would split up to keep the Monolith off their tracks she was vehemently against it. Since they found each other almost a decade ago they were very rarely apart and when they were, something bad almost always happened. Blaze was also against keeping her powers quiet. She loved who she was and had worked very hard to get her powers under as much control as they were. The thought of being forced to feel shame because humans were afraid of her brought her blood to an almost literal boil.
Another low whine brought her back from her angry thoughts and she stirred in the chair she was sitting in. Her eyes scanned the room to find Oy, his honey colored eyes beautiful and expressive. When he saw that her attention was focused on him, he whined again and pawed at the door. A slow smile creeped onto her features as she misinterpreted the reason for his complaints.
"Yes, Oy. I hear you, baby." Blaze says tenderly and rises to her feet, raising her arms above her head in a back cracking stretch. She doesn't let him out alone but she has no use of a lead either. He sticks at her heel unless directed otherwise by her. The big dogs tail begins to wag as she approaches the door. As they walk down the steps into the unfenced yard, Oy's whining doesn't cease. A flicker of annoyance crosses her features.
"Ok, Ok. We're here, you didn't wait that l-" Her voice stops as Oy's whine turns into a growl. The hair on the back of her neck stands on end as she finally feels the eyes that Oy had been feeling. She glances around, her hair beginning to streak red as her adrenaline begins pumping. Readying for a fight, her temperture begins to raise.
"Don't move!" A voice yells from behind her and in her surprise she actually does begin to turn. A series of dry clicks fill her ears as what she assumes are guns being cocked. She is strong but her body is still human and even one properly placed bullet could kill her.
"Oy, run!" She yells, earning a wack on the back of her head. Blaze grunted as she fell to one knee, watching Oy run out of sight. She turned toward her attackers, still kneeling. At least a dozen. She thinks to herself, feeling a perverse sense of pride through the anger of being caught. She charges the one closest to her who fumbles with his weapon and earns a heated slap across his face. He screams, clutching his face as two layers of cheek sloughs off.
"Remember! They want her alive!" The leader yells as the other men desend apon her. She burns and fights as many as she can until power neutralizing cuffs are slapped on her wrists. She can feel her body cooling off and immediately begins to shiver. She tastes her own blood but is satisfied by the amount of men limping or favoring burns in various places.
A pair of honey colored eyes watches as their master is beaten and loaded into the back of a van. Another whine escapes the dog before he sniffs the air and begins trotting in the direction the van has gone.
