Spectrum

"I don't get it."

0 · 156 views · located in Reality

a character in “Realities”, originally authored by Spectrum, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Image

Name
Spectrum

"Spec works too, I guess, but I don't really like nicknames."

Gender
Female

"And yeah. So there's that."

Appearance
Spectrum is a skinny girl with soft features, contradicting her usually emotionless, hardened expression. Her skin is a very pale, porcelain-like color that clashes greatly with her bright, candy-red hair. Her hair is just a bit longer than shoulder-length with her bangs reaching just above her eyes. One area in the back is usually put up in a pony tail. Her eyes match her hair perfectly. She's about average height for her age, although a bit underweight maybe.

"Don't stare."

Powers
Paralysis: A splay of dark orange powder is released from her skin--usually directed from her hands. The powder can temporarily paralyze someone, keeping them from moving. The only thing it can't do is stop the mouth/voice, so whatever has been hit with this spray of powder can still talk or screech or whatever it does. The paralysis only works depending on the strength of the person she uses it on. If the person is really strong, then it'll probably only last a few seconds, but if the person is really weak, it could last up to a minute.
Acid: Something else that comes in the form of powder. If she wants to, she can create a green-colored powder that melts anything it touches. The acidic powder latches onto the item and burns right through it, eating it away completely. It only works on inanimate objects, however. When used on something made of flesh, it only sticks to the creature and hardens annoyingly, like a light, but thick, rocky substance.
Health: This is a silver-colored powder that helps others rather than herself. If she sprinkles it over a wound, the wound will heal almost immediately. It doesn't work on herself because it comes from her own magical essence. For some reason, the two cancel each other out. The powder cannot heal any internal wounds--like illnesses, hunger, etc.--or a fatal wound.
Super-strength: This is in a non-physical sense, if that makes any sense. As in, she may not look like much at all, maybe someone who can barely carry herself, but she's actually stronger than any normal human. She can lift the weight of a pick-up truck full of cinderblocks (although that would be at her limit). She is still vulnerable to attacks though like anyone else, which is why it's not in a physical sense.
Energy Conversion: If someone blasts her with a power or energy, she can "catch" it, bounce it off of herself, and blast it immediately back at the same person (or in another direction). Unfortunately, this only works twice in a row before she becomes too weak to use it anymore. It takes a lot out of her. After the second time, she can't do it again until she rests or eats or does something to catch her energy back up again. So, in other words, if someone blasted her with fire, she could "catch" the fire and blast it back at the person who blasted it at her in the first place.

"Don't take advantage or you'll regret it."

Weapon
A large sledge hammer. No, really. The hammer part itself is three times the size of her own head and made out of some sort of gem-like substance--probably diamond. The handle resembles steel. It's a material strong enough to hold up the hammer part, so it's something sturdy. Carrying this weapon around is the same as a regular human carrying a normal hammer to Spectrum, so it's not a problem for her to easily swing that thing around. Despite that, however, it can change from being over-sized to average-sized at will for practicality. Other than that, it has no other magical abilities.

"Wanna see it?"

Familiar
Spectrum's familiar is an over-sized red panda with beady little black eyes. When it stands on two feet, it's about the same height as she is. She's named it Link.

"Not cute."

Personality
Spectrum is a quiet girl. She doesn't speak very often and, when she does, it's usually in a fit of rage. She has a short temper and a tendency to over-react to little things. Just because she doesn't talk, however, doesn't mean she isn't smart. She can come off as a bright person when necessary. She doesn't have much tolerance for childish antics and, well, to be honest, she completely lacks a sense of humor. She doesn't even understand sarcasm or how to use it. Everything said is taken completely seriously. Although she looks like a frail, weak little girl, she's actually a very tough person. She can handle herself in a fight against anyone who dares to challenge her; the quickest way to set her off would be to call her weak. Spectrum doesn't seem to be a very kind person. She's always scowling or pouting about something. Her smiles are rare. However, if you show her that you're worth it and aren't a completely intolerable idiot, then she might just come to respect--and maybe even enjoy--you.

"So what is it?"

Final Power
Spectrum's final power consists of taking a bunch of small, sensitive orbs (resembling smoke bombs) and tossing them into the air. They will all fall in random areas. Nothing will happen until the first one gets set off. Once the first orb gets set off (by getting stepped on or even poked by someone or something), it'll go off like a mini-bomb. It won't be enough to kill someone, but it's enough to knock someone off their feet. And it definitely stings a bit. The first bomb going off will set off a chain reaction to the other bombs that are within a five-foot radius. Those will go off and then the bombs within a five-foot radius of those will go off, and so on. If there are any bombs outside of a five-foot radius of the last bomb(s) that went off, then they won't go off at all until someone else hits them. Throwing these orbs may seem like a simple task, but they take a lot of energy to make. She becomes extremely drained of energy after creating them and needs to rest for a long time before she can do much else.

"Still think this is funny?"

Fighting Style
Spectrum, despite her appearance, has a sort of brute-strength strategy. When fighting, she usually doesn't like to hit her opponents head-on or with her own hands. She prefers staying away from them and using more tactical techniques, like using her acid to harden and distract them, then tossing a boulder at their heads. She's not the type to run away from a fight, however. She won't show a weak side, even if she's on her last breath. Just because she'd rather not use her own fists to break your face, doesn't mean she won't. She'd rather figure out her opponent's weaknesses before jumping into a fight or an ambush, however. Just because she has her pride doesn't mean she's going to be stupid about the situation. She'll stalk her prey from afar and act accordingly. Unless, of course, you get her mad. Then she'll just go all out and forget about any sort of tactics at all just to get a chance to beat the crap out of someone, even if this may not be the smartest.

"Did you say something to me!?"

Theme Song
Regina Spektor - Be Like a Cloud

Notes
She may seem cold and detached, but she secretly grows attached to people fairly quickly.
