Name:
Erika Quinn
Age:
16
Sex:
Female
Teacher?:
No
Powers and Descriptions:
Sound Manipulation
She is still in the very early stages of this gift. Erika is able to modify sound waves to enlarge sounds she makes to generate sonic blasts. She has found the best way to do this is with a gun she carries around. Instead of filling it with actual bullets, Erika uses blanks, manipulating the great sound that comes from it into one of her more powerful sonic-blasts.
She is also able to adjust her voice to increase her chance of persuading/frightening/appealing to others. It is not a guaranteed success. She cannot mimic others voices and she remains unable to create sonic-blasts with her voice.
Durability
Erika is able to take on a larger amount of damage than the average human before being badly damaged.
*third power unknown*
Personality:
Erika is a very headstrong girl. She is somewhat arrogant, although she would call this being very confident. When asked her opinion, she tells it as she sees it, never sugar coating anything. All this means she can be pretty abrasive with other people, though she is not the type to go picking fights herself. While usually having a balanced if not, aloof temper, she detests others shouting at her when angry and isnt long in roaring back at them. Erika is surprisingly diligent student, she loves to be in school, learning all she can. She hates people touching her hair.
Appearance:
A slender, yet curvaceous young lady, Erika stands at the average height of 5'6, and with fair skin. She is well toned, but not muscular. Her posture is almost always tall and strong, showing other she is not a frail little thing. Erika's straight hair is a coal-black color and falls down just passed her shoulders, with her bangs hanging down what ever way they please, down on her face just barely in her eyes. Her eyes are a vivid magenta color that are nearly always fearless. Erika opts for clothes that are comfy for her. She can often be seen wearing a black practical, uniform-like dress and black fingerless gloves. Often carries around a lower face balaclava with a skeleton jaw print around.
History:
Erika father died when she was young due to car accident. She doesnt remember much of him only that he was a nice, middle-class man who made her mom very happy. At the funeral she got to meet some of her fathers relations for the first time. They were mostly wealthy by some form or another.Thinking nothing of it at the time, Erika hardly noticed how her Uncle decided to move in a comfort her distraught mother. It only became clear to her how serious this comforting was becoming when she and her mother moved into her Uncle's penthouse in Seattle.
Erika would go on to be a little spoiled, with her Uncle trying to get on her good side. However, Erika always found there was something off about the man, but her mom was the happiest she had seen her in a long time, so she played along to the happy family. Then came the joyous day, when it was announced that her mother was going to marry, her dead husbands brother.
It was soon after that, that things went downhill very suddenly. Erika was no longer spoiled and her mother was starting to be hit and treated like a piece of dirt. Erika spent a lot of time in her room under the covers of her bed as she listened to the shouting of her Uncle and her mother crying most nights. This would be when she first find out about her first power. She willed the shouting to be silenced, and it would be. She wished for her mothers crying to turn to humming of lullaby, and it did (via distortion).
As Erika got older, she also grew bolder. It was only in the past 2 years that she began to snap back at her Uncle and threaten to hit him back if he touched her mother. For her retaliation, she got a black eye. Erika remained undeterred and struck back at him. With her mother crying in the background for her to stop, the two of them continued on. It ended up with Erika having her head smashed onto the marble counter tops and reeling back to hit her head on the floor. Surprisingly, she hadnt been knocked unconscious, instead, saying she had enough and got shakily to her feet, incredibly dizzy and with a splitting headache. This was the first time it was shown she was able to take bigger, more serious blows than an average person.
Things returned to somewhat normal, with Erika sneaking out whenever fights started up, angry at both her mother and uncle. In past few months, thing escalated involving a group of her uncles friends and her mom ending up getting hurt enough to wind up in intensive care in hospital. Having to return home with her Uncle, Erika's rage had reached its boiling point. As he hit on her she went and pulled a gun that he kept in the living room and threatened to kill him. He laughed and egged her on, informing her how the gun wasnt loaded. The bullets were elsewhere, that there was nothing more than blanks in the barrel. In rage, Erika pulled the trigger anyway and a huge blast slammed her Uncle back into the wall. Because of the force of the blast, and the close proximity to the wall, it had been enough to break and fracture some of his bones.
After this, both her Uncle and Mother would say that Erika was too wild a child to keep around the house. That she was nothing with trouble. Instead of charging his step-daughter/niece with assault, she was to be sent far away, to a school for 'freaks like her'. So, Erika found herself being flown out to Barbados, and from there on, getting a ferry that went into the Bermuda Triangle, and to the Solstice Academy.
