Place of Origin: San Diego, CA
Nationality/Race: Caucasian
Classification: Mutant
Status: Other
Occupation: META Agent
Personality Profile:
Cool. Professional. Some might even say cold. When it comes down to business, all of the above are true and more. Then again, her particular job description requires her to be all of these things. Outside of business, however, she is found to be quite warm once you get to know her.
Cwen is firmly of the belief that mutants should have equal rights with the rest of humanity and the current heated situation is not to her liking. Her work with META, while not always enjoyable, gives her a sense of purpose. Afterall, how can mutants expect to be treated like equals when they continue to act as if they are gods? Mutants who flaunt and misuse their powers are, to her mind, the worst of the worst.
Physical Description: Cwen has a slender athletic build, like that of a runner. Doe-eyed with what some have termed an angelic face, she doesn't outwardly seem like a threat.
---------------------------------
Powerset: Mental manipulation and control
Ability One: Persuasion/Influencing:
Cwen can get pretty much whatever she wants, so long as the mark doesn't have an iron will. Her mental ability works by disrupting nueral pathways that leave the brain vulnerable to suggestion. It is, in its way, akin to hypnosis, but done with just her gaze and voice, and completed much more swiftly.
An example of her use of power could be as elaborate as convincing a bystander that they didn't really see that giant robot dog running down the street, making a guard feel so in need of sleep that they doze off on the spot, to as simple as talking her way out of a ticket or getting someone to tell her what she wants to know.
Ability Two: Telekinesis:
Simply enough, she has the ability to mentally move and manipulate objects with complete control, including people. Currently she is limited to about 350 lbs total weight lifted or pushed about at a time.
Cwen has focused on learning how to immobilize targets with her powers, a useful skill for getting someone to sit and stay for questioning.
Ability Three: Force Field: (Not sure if this should fall under her secondary as a specialty or here as a distinct third power)
Through her telekinesis Cwen has been training to create a force field around herself. Currently this is confined to her immediate person and about 1 foot in all directions around herself. She could protect one other, but they would have to be practically wrapped around her to be fully shielded. She can maintain this shield for about 5 solid minutes at a time, thougth it requires her full concentration and she cannot manipulate anything else while maintaining the shield.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses:
Persuasion/Influencing: The weaker the will of the target, the more outrageous suggestions she can succesfully make, whereas those with a stronger will would be able to resist any outlandish suggestions. Eye contact is also required, so if she were blinded in any sort of fashion this gift would be rendered nearly useless.
Telekinesis: Currently she is limited to a total weight of about 350 lbs being manipulated at a time. Pronlonged use of this power gives her headaches which could, if she pushes herself too far for too long, leave her incapacitated for a few days. Also, when immobilizing a target, if they are able to lift more force than she can put on them then they can break out of her mental hold.
Projected Power Growth & Development:
With continued practice and use of her powers she should find that she has a greater influencing effect on people, and even go so far as to influence a small group with a simple request.
Her telekineses as well has room to grow and eventually she should be able to increase her max weight manipulated at a single time by another 50 pounds.
With continued training of her force shield she should be able to extend the radius to about 5 feet in any direction around herself, allowing more people to be covered, and increase the time for holding the shield.
Skills: Cwen is a runner and participates in several relays or runs every year so long as work allows her the time. She is also a rather good cook and enjoys baking as well, having a sweet tooth for homemade cookies.
Cwen majored in Political Science and Psychology
Background: Like most mutants, Cwen's powers manifested with puberty. Things started moving about the house by themselves, almost like the family had a poltergeist. Then there was the way that suddenly she was taking her parents into what she wanted with no arguments. Once they'd figured out she was a mutant she was immediately shipped off to a special school so she could learn to control her powers and not abuse them. Money was no object and her parents, both players in the political arena, wanted to try and keep their daughter's powers out of the media spotlight. While not entirely supportive they weren't disapproving either
After college she was approached by META and immediately went to work for them. Her job - clean up. Cwen would be called in when people needed to be prodded into forgetting what they saw or led to believe what they saw was something else entirely. She would also be called in to attempt and retrieve information from stubborn targets before other more forceful methods were tried.
Her job now brings her to Salem where she will be assigned to the new Mutant facility being built where the Academy once stood.
Criminal Record: None
Quirks, Extras, Random Character Facts: Cwen is cursed, in a way, to know that anyone she gets close to might wonder if she "pushed" them into the relationship. Trust is very important to her. She has a fondness for exotic cuisines, Indian food being her favorite. Her musical tastes are rather eclectic, but she tends to favor celtic music for its soothing and haunting qualities.
