ALYSSA ALLEN [Older Student]
Player: JadeElf
Name: Alyssa Allen
Codename: none
Age: 22
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 138
Hair: Blonde/Black
Eyes: Green
Nationality: American
Occupation: College Student - Biology, Organic Chemistry
Appearance: Alyssa is a striking young woman in her early twenties. Her usually brunette hair has been dyed blonde on top, in the style that is typical for young girls these days. Around
school she usually wears any one of her several hand made dresses, her favorite one featuring a simple and sparse floral pattern on cream colored cotton. Her shoulder pack also looks to be made
by hand as it is fashioned entirely out of hemp cloth, died a lustrous forest green. Her feet are usually bare, but during the winter she will sometimes protect them with a pair of simple buckskin
boots.
Picture:
Personality: Alyssa is outgoing and engaging. Her intuitive nature and playfulness allows her to get along easily in most social situations. When making decisions she is logical
rational. These traits combined with her hyper cognition lead her to place too much confidence in her own intellect though, and she often dismisses the ideas of others too quickly or harshly.
Furthermore Alyssa places an over emphasis on her own set of values and often times uses her rather unique value set to logically and rationally justify acts that may seems dishonest or
unethical to others.
Background: Alyssa was born and raised in a self sustaining "off the grid" community in northern California. Her parents moved to the commune when her mother first got pregnant and,
after only a few days into what was suppose to be a two week visit the young couple decided to stay. In this nurturing environment the couple found it easy to provide their bright young daughter
with every advantage they could think of. The healthiest food, cleanest water, and freshest air were all about them. They educated her themselves, with help from the rest of the community in an
environment free of social restraint and the typical and overbearing pressure to conform present in modern schools. As a result Alyssa has a remarkable knowledge base for a person her age.
When she turned 18 she used the money she had been saving throughout her childhood to make the down payment on a small plot of land in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The 30 acre plot had been
used as pasture land for generations and was badly overgrazed. The seller was convinced the land was essentially worthless and sold it to the ambitious young woman for only a few thousand dollars.
Despite the depleted soil conditions and high altitude Alyssa's ingenuity and intelligent design have turned the small plot of land into a productive, and sustainable farming operation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fighting----- (#) Alyssa's father has been teaching her a medley of soft style martial arts since childhood. Alyssa has never taken it very seriously though and after more than a decade of
practice has only a basic grasp of physical combat, preferring instead to practice tai chi, or yoga for exercise.
Agility------ (#) Alyssa's regular physical activity and her daily practice of yoga in particular have given her an excellent sense of balance as well as making her quite limber.
Strength----- (#) Alyssa was raised in a farming community with no shortage of manual labor, even for young girls. She is deceptively strong for a girl her size.
Endurance---- (#) Above all, Alyssa's upbringing has given her an overall level of health that is unseen in modern humans, so much so that it becomes hard to distinguish from her mutation.
Reasoning---- (#) Alyssa is highly logical and very knowledgeable for a young adult.
Intuition---- (#) By nature Alyssa is also very intuitive, though she is careful to never act solely on a "gut feeling" she also never fails to calculate her instincts into her decision making.
Psyche------- (#) Without a doubt her most potent attribute. Daily meditation and a natural confidence make this young woman iron willed. It is one of her deeply held beliefs that there is nothing she cannot accomplish with the power of her mind, and recently discovering her telekinetic powers has only served to concrete the idea.
Hit Points:
Mental health:
Resources: $60k per year
Self Sustaining Farm- Despite her youth Alyssa owns a small self sustaining farm, which has seen profits every year it has been in operation.
Dealer- Alyssa is not happy about having to do it, but from her point of view it's not her fault that not everyone that needs medicinal marijuana is able to acquire it legally.
Origin of Powers: Mutant
Powers: Telekinesis, Hyper Cognition, Perfected Physiology
Telekinesis
*Inertial Barrier- When facing a physical assault Alyssa can protect herself in a sphere of telekinetic force that pushes outward against any incoming physical objects making it so they require exponentially increasing amounts of energy to continue forward. There is an upper limit to the total amount of kinetic energy this barrier can absorb though, and a sustained barrage of high energy attacks will eventually disrupt the shield, leaving Alyssa vulnerable. This shield works only to absorb forms of kinetic energy (including sound, and to a lesser degree even heat). It does not work against other forms of energy. Electromagnetic energy across it's entire spectrum passes through the shield freely (making it completely transparent), as such lasers, gamma rays, particle beams, are not at all affected by the barrier.
*Movement of the Mind - Alyssa can use her telekinetic powers to grasp and move any type of object. As with her barrier there is an upper limit to the total amount of kinetic energy she can muster, though
it is very high, measured in mega joules. She can easily propel a small object to speeds that could be measured in miles per second, and when that same level of energy is applied to much heavier objects she is
able to move a single mass weighing a ton or more at freeway speeds. The heavier an object is the less precise is her ability to manipulate it. Small, light objects can be controlled in nearly any manner possible, while heavier objects can really only be controlled in the most basic forms of lifting, turning, and propelling. If forced to use her powers offensively Alyssa is fond of pelting distant targets with a barrage of small high velocity missiles, then engaging close range opponents with a telekineticaly wielded staff.
*Telekinetic Strike - Alyssa can use her telekinesis to increase the force of her physical attacks, in effecting using the power of her mind to augment her physical strength. This power is technically limited
only by her raw telekinetic ability. However she is logical and rational enough to realize that there is a limit to how much force she wants to impart to her own vulnerable body parts. Using a weapon helps alleviate some of the physical stresses on her own body but there is still a limit to how fast she can safely move. Ignoring that limit could be very easily for her to injury to herself.
*Flight - Using her telekinesis on herself Alyssa is able to lift and propel herself in a quick and controlled manner. If able to concentrate fully (using her hyper cognition) she can create a dense inertial barrier
in front of her, with this telekinetic windshield in place she can propel herself to unimaginable speeds. For safeties sake though she has calculated it's best to never fly more than 300 mph with the windshield in place, and not more than 50 mph without it. Because of the various debris and pollutants present in the air though she rarely manifests her telekinesis in this manner, preferring mundane forms of transport whenever possible.
Hyper cognition
*Heightened Awareness - Alyssa's super mutant brain is constantly aware of all incoming stimuli. Though no particular sense is heightened beyond peak human capability she is more aware of them all. She may not have a heightened sense of smell for example, but she is uncommonly aware of what she can smell. This power is always active even when sleeping, making it rather difficult to get a good nights rest some times.
*Two Minds - Alyssa is able to carry on two completely separate and even entirely unrelated lines of thought simultaneously. She could for example read a book and listen to a lecture on audio recording at the same time and have perfect comprehension of both. This ability is not passive, but requires minimal energy and is so useful that Alyssa has it active during most of her waking hours. In compliment to this ability Alyssa is ambidextrous, though this is not known to be a result of mutation is certainly comes in useful when applying this power specifically. Using this ability Alyssa is actually able to manifest two separate telekinetic powers, though the total energy output (or absorption) must not exceed her usual limit.
* Dilated Perception - Whenever the need arises Alyssa can activate this ability to illicit the perceived time slowing effect featured in many movies and video games, and spoken about by many martial artists and survivors of traumatic experiences. Although Alyssa is not able to move her physical body any faster than normal she is able to perceive and process information at a greatly accelerated rate. This power often combines with her heightened awareness activating reflexively when she becomes aware of a potential threat.
Perfected Physiology
*Regenerative Growth - Alyssa heals at a rate roughly twice that of an average adult. In addition to this she does so in a fully regenerative manner allowing her to replace severed limbs or lost organs. This power is entirely passive and works even when she is unconscious. Furthermore the root of this power is in Alyssa's physiology, not her physical brain. As long as her tissues were kept alive through artificial means she could theoretically recover from even the most severe trauma. That is to say if her body were kept alive she could regrow a severed head, or damaged heart, or any other structure. Though she does not yet know it, her power also prevents her from experiencing the progressive degeneration of cells that we call aging. Time may continue on for forever but Alyssa will never grow old.
*Immunity - Although Alyssa is not completely invulnerable to invasion by pathogens her immune system is impeccable. With her clean and healthy habits she has never succumbed to mundane illness or suffered an infection of any kind. Extreme exposure to pathogens is still liable to result in her contracting the illness, though even the most deadly and virulent diseases would find it impossible to completely over come the girl's regeneration and perfected immune system.
*Conditioning - Alyssa's vigorous lifestyle and love of extreme sports has lead her to incur a wide variety of injuries on a near daily basis. The many falls, bumps, and bruises she has taken over her life time have all healed without any negative lasting effects though, only positive ones. Though not supernaturally resilient she is far tougher and hardier than she appears. Her skin is smooth and unblemished, but not delicate. Her hands are supple and feminine, yet hardened by manual labor and the daily abuse that it brings. In short she may look like a beautiful young woman but she's as tough as any professional athlete, maybe tougher.
Equipment: Standard Gear
Laptop- Medium Grade laptop computer w/ wireless and mobile web.
Cell phone- High End cell phone.
First Aid Kit - A small wilderness first aid kit carried in her pack.
Vehicle - Alyssa owns a BMW 335d with a series of conversions allowing it to run on a variety of alternative fuels.
Survival Gear - Alyssa keeps a survival kit in the trunk of her car, it a large kit and includes a wide variety of items essential to surviving in wilderness environments.
Stash - Alyssa never strays far from home without a sizable quantity of medicinal quality marijuana, either in her pack or in the trunk of her car.
Ball Bearings - Alyssa keeps a small handful of metal ball bearings on her at all times, for self defense.
Steel Rod - In addition to the metal ball bearings Alyssa also keeps a steel rod in her car, the rod is 5 feet long and tapered at one end.
Weaknesses:
Overconfident- Alyssa's intelligence, and extreme cognitive abilities lend her to placing too much value on her own thoughts and opinions and too little on the ideas of others. This can make social interaction
difficult for her at times, particularly when decisions are being made that involve the group. Though she tries hard to hide it, she cannot help but come across as condescending and at times even demeaning to those
who's opinions differ from her own.
Contacts: Organic Gardening Community, Marijuana Sub-Culture
Knowledges:
Organic Chemistry: Alyssa is probably one of the most knowledgeable farmers in the area, having amassed a vast quantity of knowledge relevant to the field of agriculture. Though lacking proper
credentials she is probably qualified to be teaching in the field of organic chemistry rather than studying it, and in fact finds most of her classes to be redundant and outright boring.
Wilderness Survival: Alyssa has spent most of her life surrounded by the wilderness and has acquired a broad range of knowledge regarding the local wilderness areas. She knows which plants are good to eat, and for medicine and with the added advantage of her powers could easily survive in the wild on her own without much fear of death from starvation, dehydration, or exposure.
Linguist: Alyssa's primary language is English, but she is also fluent in Spanish, and French.
Skills:
Alyssa posses a wide variety of practical skills that are important to people who live outside normal society. Her obvious talent at tending plants is just one such skill. In addition to her green thumb she also
knows how to make her own clothes and accessories. She knows how to cook and clean without using modern chemicals and even has a limited but working knowledge of machinery. She maintains her own farm equipment and even did most of the work of converting her car to bio-diesel herself. She is not a professional mechanic by any means, but as long as the problem is simple and relatively easy to fix she can handle it. In addition to these practical skill sets Alyssa also sings, dances, and plays a wide variety of musical instruments with her favorite being classical guitar. Her athletic prowess is less noteworthy than her mental achievements, but even so she is a skilled athlete, preferring to focus on alternative ot extreme sports like snowboarding, kayaking, mountain biking, and the like.
Notable Notes:
Alyssa grows a wide variety of fruits and medicinal herbs on her farm and returns frequently to replenish her supply.
She is currently unaware of the full limits of her own power having applied them only when, and as much as was necessary.
She makes almost all of her own clothes, even her shoes.
