Personality Profile: Tasya personality department can run afoul when it comes to dealing with people. She can take a rather pragmatic approach to a situation offering a solution but can sometimes forget about the human element of personal feelings involved. This can however lead to people thinking she is quite heartless and uncaring which in reality isn’t the case. However although she does hold a stranger at arm’s length, given to be naturally suspicious of everybody, she can be pretty outgoing when she wishes to be and a good loyal friend when called on. Her is however iron strong in her bravery and sense of duty with a sense of determination outmatched by few.

---------------------------------
Mutation/Powers:
Primary : Increased body strength, able to dead lift about five hundred pounds.
Secondary : Hardened bone density, her bone structure is typical to that of a normal human but the specialize calcium deposits nearly double the amount of force it takes to crush/break them. Unlike her father however, she has no control of this part of her power’s but doesn’t’ seem to suffer any visual anomalies to her skin like him.
Tertiary : Body elasticity, Tasya has proven her worth more then once using this ability in the realm of hand to hand combat. Her skills provide her the means to stretch most of her joints areas snapping them like rubber bands with increased force and speed giving her a much longer reach then the standard person.
Drawbacks/Weaknesses/Side Effects :
-When using her elasticity powers in the ill-proper attire has ruined more then one outfit of her's. Several department stores in Russia simply refuse to allow her to return anything anymore because of it.
-Her mind is still open to suggestion and influence
-Her body is still able to be damaged by energy blasts, firearms, knifes etc.
How do you believe this character's powers will further develop in the future? No.
Background: Born to Felix Vos and her mother Eleena Ivanov during the frozen political atmosphere between East and West in St Petersburg Russia. Her childhood was abnormal to say the least when her father came to visit for months at a time to stay at the family home of her Grandfather, Boris Ivanov (former KGB double agent). Known importantly as the head of the Russian Mafia in the Federal territories and some major cities on the Eastern seaboard. When Felix turned into full fledged Edge, and after the fall of the Berlin wall, things between the couple were extremely tense. Felix’s lover wasn’t exactly a pushover, dangerous and vindictive, but held back much of her hate not wishing her daughter to never know her father. Only when he was with his child did the better side of the man come out as a doting father helping raise her. However Edge being Edge exploited that connection with her grandfather after the war to buy/sell guns, drugs, information. whatever could be deemed profitable to fund his own private enterprises and ambitions. His slanderous behavior was tolerated because he was Tasya’s father and Boris’s personal close friend and made the fledgling organization a great deal of money and influence in the process. Things soured and his trips to go see his daughter got less and less. Felix however was the best father he could be under the circumstances and her eagerness to learn from him profoundly strengthen those bonds in a very short time. But when Edge decided to leave her for good, around the age of 14-15, those bonds were strained thinking he just abandoned her as if she wasn't worthy of his time anymore. After a period of self hatred and then white hot anger, it drove her toward being better then him in every aspect of the profession. Her personal weapon of choice, however trained in firearms, is bladed weapons when engaged in hand to hand combat.
She used her grandfather's influence only once during her life seeking entrance into the shadowy underworld of the clandestine services. She fought tooth and nail using her mutant powers to propel her above other's making her stand out within the service granting her choice assignments. Only later when she did she find out the truth about Edge's once overpowering personality she is making strides to forgive her father and rekindle SOME kind of relationship with him. Her mother however had since remarried and wishes nothing to do with him, Tasya has decided it is better that way for everybody. She is a member of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB), she is sorta at odds with her grandfather and his way of doing things. She won’t go against him, or her mother and step-father, but she wants to make it on her own and has her father’s mean streak of determination when it comes to doing things. She has put in for transfer to be part of head of security for the Russian conciliate in Washington DC as an official cover agent.

Re: Tasya Ivanov
We're not able to approve this character right now as written, as their extensive military connection isn't something that blends in well with our current setting. We've found that heavily based government/military characters are difficult to play, at best, and at worst do nothing but cause issues all around.
