Description

My name's Kora, though people also know me as Red for, well, a whole bunch of reasons that I can get onto later.

I'm twenty-one years of age and I joined up for training at around....age eight I think.

Appearance-wise I kinda count as a Neon. In a bit of a literal sense. I got pretty vivid red hair, but then that's nothing to shout about. Grey eyes...my power tends to start bleeding in the iris..and along with the glowing pigment it can look a little scary when I'm using my powers, so I'm told. Yeah, glowing pigment Bioluminesence it's called. Have several stripes of it on my skin, patches on my palms, irregular patches on my back, ribs, and in the irises of my eyes. It's normally not an issue...but they glow and pinky-red in the dark. Walking down the street? Fine, great. Walk into a dark tunnel? I'm a freaking glowstick. Got to apply a clown sort of level of make-up to try and block it out.

My power makes me a Abnormal, as far as I know. I'm pretty sure it's a real pain for them, but at the same time I imagine it's be pretty useful if you could replicate it. I'm what you'd call a Berserker. I can alter my own brain and body chemistry in order to seriously boost my physical ability. When I set it off I become much stronger and faster, and I can absorb damage like a sponge...don't feel any pain when it happens...which has its advantages and its downsides. The big problem is when I'm like that I'm not exactly the most sensible. It's like roid rage to the nth degree. I'll fight anybody. I even fought a shop mannequin once. Apparently I yelled that it was looking at me funny. Not my proudest moment.

Personality? Well uh... I guess you could call me a 'Carpe Diem' sort of person. I like to live in the moment. I don't really think ahead a lot...which can sometimes be a problem...I'll admit. I tend to let other people do most of thinking...and the talking. Apparently I'm not very eloquent. I think the work 'rude' gets thrown around a bit, though I see it as more...blunt...straight-forward. I also apparently have a bit of a temper. Admittedly I do tend to overreact to some things...a lot of it is casual threats though, I never actually intend to act on them.

As far as my background goes I was born into a decently well-off family. They'd always been in a combat-related role. Military, armed police..anything like that. The family was always all over it. I was the youngest, but my brother wasn't so healthy growing up. Dad was generally busy and my Mom wanted nothing to do with me, so got raised much of the time by my Aunt. She was always a bit of an overbearing type... and she took the whole 'fighting family' idea to heart. She encouraged me to be rough and tumble....and I took to it extremely well. All the stuff I did, the fights I got into....it was dismissed as me being 'high-spirited'...even when I broke my brother's collar-bone after pushing him down a fight of stairs. My Aunt put it all down to family traits.

And then I flung a full-grown adult through a window one day.

It got to the point where my family could no longer hide their freakish god-child, so my Aunt sent me off to the resistance on the quiet, hoping to save me from ending up getting grabbed. Just as well really, as I started glowing when I hit puberty....she'd have had a job explaining that as high spirits.




" Abrupt awakenings were not really her forte. People who knew Kora ignored this at their cost, as those yelling for her to get up were often met with something being thrown in their general direction. If they were lucky it was a pillow. If they were unlucky it was a porcelain flower vase. It was not as if Kora couldn't handle mornings, she was always up fairly early, she just seemed to be engaged in an ongoing war with anyone who wanted to wake her before she was ready.

The young woman sat with the cup of coffee, pouring about half the sugar bowl into it in an attempt to wake herself up properly. It seemed like most of what she ate or drank involved large amounts of sugar. Thankfully she had the metabolism to cope with it. Kora also felt like she might as well. These were dangerous times. There didn't seem like much point in worrying about the state of her diet considering the rest of her lifestyle was a whole lot more hazardous. If it was possible that you were going to get shot or sent off for some variety of immoral experimentation by the end of the week, why risk spending your last days drinking bad-tasting coffee?"

So begins...
