Sara Evans
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 3:01 pmName: Sara Evans
Country of Origin: UK
Hometown: Cardiff
Age: 19
Birthday: March 12th 2002
Power: Sara's body (or parts of it) is capable of turning into stone of varying states, ranging from quicksand-like fluidity to being completely solid, allowing her to mimic various shapes and forms. She's limited by the body-mass her body "supplies" and can only go maybe 10% up/down in volume/density.
She has enough dexterity with it to adapt the form and manipulate things "on the fly" (like filling the cylinder of a lock and feeling around, pushing against the bolts until she's mimicing a fitting key) but bigger areas or several different things at once are too complicated to coordinate.
Another thing she recently discovered is the ability to absorb small amounts of non-organic, non-metallic materials (so basically stone, soil, sand, bricks) into her body for a short time to increase the mass available to her, but it's very exhausting since she has to constantly has to keep it absorbed or the substance instantly returns to it's original form. Currently she can hold on to about 10 pounds of mass for roughly an hour, less mass and she can hold it considerably longer, more and it quickly tires her out (she could -maybe- double her mass for 2 or 3 minutes)
The material also reverts back to it's original shape and form when she loses physical contact. Theoretically that works the other way around too, if her arm for example gets chopped/broken off while changed into something it'll instantly return to it's original form of a chopped off arm. If she goes an hour or longer without re-attaching it it'll be permanently lost to her.
At least at the moment damage done to her will carry over to her normal body because it'd require her to "manually" repair her tissue, which is way beyond her abilities.
When she's nervous or stressed parts of her tend to randomly 'melt' until she notices and makes the effort to compose herself. It's not really a loss of control but more an involuntary reaction, propably stemming from the first time her mutation manifested.
Personality: Sara usually takes a while to warm up to people although when she does she can be very sweet albeit a little naive sometimes. Despite her often coming off as shy and silent she's very curious and enjoys meeting new people as long as she has a chance to get accustomed to them and doesn't get thrown into the center of attention.
Occasionally she obsesses about one thing or another, which can end up helping her studies or keeping her from staying at her regular level of decent academic prowess, depending on what it is.
Description: Sara is 5'5" and while she's not chubby she isn't exactly slim either. She keeps her brown hair at just above shoulder length. Her clothes aren't paticularly on top of current fashion and mostly just jeans and t-shirt/blouse.
Background: Sara grew up in a middle-class family in Cardiff, living a pretty normal and boring live, curiously (and a little bit enviously) following the news and events sorrounding mutants and their growing population.
When her own mutation manifested she quickly realized her 'dreamy' view of it was just a little unrealistic.During a talent show at school when she was 15 she suddenly lost control as she could feel her body twisting into bizarre and random shapes in front of her schoolmates and families, scrambling off the stage in panic. After weeks spend between psychological counseling and feeling alienated from her parents she slowly managed to get her powers under control and moved to a different district and school.
During that time she was a rather difficult kid and not just because of her X-gene although that certainly triggered her self-loathing and self-destructive phase. She somewhat recovered from it over time, but to this day she still hasn't quite come to terms with her powers, which is why she decided to go to XLU.
((Since I'm kind of at a time-zone induced dis-advantage here in GMT+1 Land I figured a somewhat reserved character would have a bit of an excuse for possibly missing a bunch of things happening.))
