Evan "Micah" Ward
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2012 6:41 pm
Player Nickname: Bonham
Name: Evan "Micah" Ward
Codename:
Age: 22
Date of Birth: January 8
Height: 5'7"/ Variable
Weight: 135 lbs / Variable
Hair Color: Pale Blonde / Variable
Eye Color: Light Grey-Blue / Variable
Place of Origin: Austin, Texas
Nationality/Race: American Mutt/Caucasian
Classification/Origin of Powers: Mutant
Status: Resident/Trainee.
Occupation: Gainfully unemployed waitress/actress/model/con artist.
Personality Profile: Hard to read, difficult to truly know. Stubborn, often argumentative when it suits her needs. Clever by necessity; manipulative, with a sarcastic wit and a sense of humor that tends to get her into trouble more often than not. Sociable, even friendly to a point, while managing to keep everyone at arm's length. Has a marked aversion to telepaths.
Physical Description: While more likely to be found looking like anyone other than herself, Micah sans facade has waist-length frizzy blonde hair so pale it's practically translucent, framing a face she feels is forgettable. Features are likewise pallid and entirely devoid of color save for lightest blue, near-grey eyes lined by a bevy of long lashes. There is no natural blush for those high cheekbones, no stain for full lips. Average height, average build with no prominent tattoos, birthmarks, or scars.
For additional reference, as Micah has become lately fond of impersonating a particular young woman spotted on the bus ride from Austin to Salem, the following is a photograph of that dirty blonde, green-eyed hippy chick:
---------------------------------
Powerset: Shapeshifter
Ability One: Shapeshifter.
Micah has the ability to alter her physicality on the molecular level at will in order to change her apparent height, weight, age, gender, and appearance to assume the form of another human. Such duplication is merely that--a very convincing fake, right down to the fingerprint, mannerisms, clothing and voice. Blood and other DNA tests, however, would most certainly out the talented mimic.
It should be noted that Micah's powers are limited to appearances only; she cannot assume the abilities of the people she mimics in the event that they, too, are mutants, nor can she alter her body to adapt to situational stimuli (grow wings, gills, etc.). In the event that she is knocked/rendered unconscious, Micah does not have the ability to maintain any facade.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses: Physical overexertion, lack of sleep, emotional stress, drugs, and alcohol can adversely affect Micah's ability to control her shifting. With her mother's recent death, despite a strained relationship, such control is faltering of late and she often shifts without notice or reason.
Projected Power Growth & Development: With time and training, Micah will learn to better control her shifting; will learn to maintain it even while unconscious.
Skills:
Background: Evan is what her mother, a dancer at The Yellow Rose, was fond of calling her whenever she was sober and not given to other, more inflammatory and accusational nicknames. Micah, she recalled, was the name of the Travis County judge whose indiscretion produced the little Ward bastard in the first place--or so her mother claimed. And it could have been true for all the girl knew. After all, she'd seen plenty of them come and go by the early light of day from the small apartment her mother managed to keep in south Austin, on the more favorable west side of I-35. Men in business suits and ties, uniforms, jeans and t-shirts--their money all spent the same. Micah learned from a young age how to escape the attentions of those who might have had more than a lingering interest in the dancer and her daughter; later, she learned to adapt, to manipulate the same attentions in an effort to get whatever it was that she wanted, when generally all she wanted was to get by. Her mother, who lived her life in a perpetual haze of drugs and alcohol, took little notice of young Micah's abilities when they initially surfaced. It was, however, her attempts to capitalize on her mutant daughter's powers that drove a permanent wedge between the two. Nonetheless, the recent loss of the only family she's known has taken its toll.
Criminal Record:
Arrested 09/14/2010 as Willie Nelson for criminal trespass while attempting to gain entry to Willie's own property in Spicewood via an unfriendly neighbor's acreage. Charges dropped.
Arrested 07/26/2011 as Sandra Bullock for shoplifting sunglasses from the Target in Round Rock. Charges dropped.
Arrested 02/29/2012 for indecent exposure while impersonating Governor Rick Perry in downtown Austin. Served 22 days, released on probation. Training/Residency required at Cobalt Hill.
Quirks, Extras, Random Character Facts:
-Doesn't particularly care for animals, having never had a pet as a child. Isn't afraid of them and doesn't dislike them necessarily, just doesn't know what to do with them.
-Was taken out of school in 2nd grade by her mother to be home-schooled. No diploma; no GED.
-Has no driver's license.
-Shies away from mirrors and other reflective surfaces, even while engaged in mimicry.
-Wears a lot of white t-shirts, tank-tops, and sweaters when not shifting, due to the fact that there is less of a contrast between the color of the clothing and herself.
-Loves television and movies. Will read when there's nothing good on the tube, but due to a lack of schooling, doesn't read terribly well and is prone to frustration because of it.
