Name: Alissa Beaton
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Appearance: Personality: Confident, quick, and completely average by choice.
Type: Manipulator
Powers: Teleportation – A sharp snap sounds out, like a narrow stick being broken in half, and Alissa’s body vanishes, leaving behind a blue after image silhouette. At the same moment, the reverse effect occurs where she is appearing. A blue silhouette of her body, followed by the snap, and then her appearance. This effect gives Alissa’s teleportation power a distinctive double snap sound.
Alissa’s power does not, as of yet, affect living organic material, and has a carry weight limit far below her actual physical strength limitations. If she tried to teleport while holding something that weighed more than, say, a gallon of milk, the power would fail, causing Alissa pain and exhaustion from the backlash of the failed attempt.
Her power is effective only in line of sight, and the odds of the teleportation failing rise exponentially with the distance she tries to move. She cannot teleport somewhere that she cannot see directly and clearly with her own eyes. Her physical and mental exhaustion also plays a role in her ability to use the power, and repeated uses of the power in a short time span can cause mental and physical fatigue.
One odd effect of Alissa’s power is that any momentum she may have before teleporting, say from running, jumping, or falling, is immediately zeroed out upon her reappearance.
Power Feedback: Sometimes when Alissa teleports she leaves some of herself behind. Not large parts, no entire organs or body parts, rather small clusters of cells may be left behind. This can result in bleeding from the nose, mouth, or eyes, if the missing cells are from those areas.
Bio: Alissa is very nearly as average a person as it’s possible to be. Unlike most in that position though, she’s there by choice. As a child she excelled in nearly everything set before her, but quickly came to realize that she despised the extra attention and praise that such excellence brought upon her. From then on, Alissa has made a conscious decision to display nothing exceptional to the people around her.
Her forced mediocrity extended past the classroom. Though Alissa is a gifted athlete, she never performed well enough during tryouts to join an organized school sports team. She prefers the solitary sport of free running, where she can explore her talents without the pressure and attention that being a star player on a team would bring.
Alissa grew up in Demora, the middle child to a couple who own two small restaurants in the city. Her brothers, one four years older, the other four years younger, both work for their parents, but Alissa, not wanting to spend quite that much time with family, decided to work part time as a stock clerk at a small trendy clothing shop in the local mall while attending Nexia, where she remains undeclared in her major, though she is leaning toward the interesting uselessness of philosophy.
