Adrianna Dermout
Player: Leafie
Name: Adrianna Dermout
Codename:
Age: 19
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 138
Hair: Orange
Eyes: Green
Nationality: Indo-European
Occupation: Student
Appearance: Adrianna has a slim but athletic build with a generous bust. Her long hair is was naturally blonde, but has shifted (along with her "complexion") over the years in reflection of her evolving x-gene. What was once a gorgeous blue eyed blonde young woman is now a feral (though still quite beautiful) creature of fang and claw. Her hair is a soft reddish orange that hangs down past her shoulders. Her body has become covered in a layer of soft fur, patterned with close knit black stripes that give way to spots at their ends, this is set against a backdrop of red orange fur, the markings of the unique Sumatran tiger.
Picture:
Personality: Adrianna's early childhood had left her ill-prepared for the world outside her private school and gated community. Her brief time on the streets of Palembang taught her many lessons however, and humility was the first one. Her natural shyness is compounded by her tendency to be anxious in groups and all of this is even further aggravated by her often times feral mindset. These compounding issues leave her feeling awkward and flighty when interacting with groups. She is not antisocial by any means though, and when around friends that she is comfortable with she can be very affectionate and often a bit "motherly". This nurturing and protective side of her is balanced (and occasionally unbalanced) by her more bestial side. When hurt (either physically or emotionally) she will defend herself instantly and viciously, with tooth and nail if the attack was physical or with biting words (and sometimes teeth and nails) if it was an insult.
Background: Adrianna was born in South Sumatra in the city of Palembang, the daughter of a wealthy young Dutchman and a fisherman's daughter. Her early childhood was lived in the lap of luxury. Her father owned and operated several businesses around the island most involving tourism (guided tours, boat rentals, hotels both high-end and low), and by
the time Adrianna was conceived he had amassed a small fortune. He spared no expensive for his family and nothing was too expensive or extravagant if it made his little girl smile. He adored her, everyone did, and it was so easy. As a baby she was cute and well mannered, rarely fussing and always calming quickly when soothed. As she got older everyone began
to talk about how beautiful she was. How she had her father's fine bone structure and her mother's beautiful exotic eyes. She would be a star they said. A great actress or model, but it was not meant to be. Shortly after her 13th birthday Adrianna had her first experience with the powers hidden in her genes. It was in school, and there could not have been a worse place
for it. A fellow student, a young boy was teasing and harassing her. She weathered the abuse without rebuke for as long as she was able, until the boy pulled her hair. That was too much, she loved her hair and him pulling on it the way he did was the last straw. With a scream like a wild animal she threw herself on the boy, attacking him furiously. The teacher who pulled her off the boy reported seeing her clawing at him with her fingernails but the doctor who stitched him up charted the wounds as looking as if they had been inflicted by claws. Her parents were
naturally horrified, but they loved their daughter and at the time had no idea what had really happened. After being kicked out of school Adrianna did her best to maintain her studies on her own, but the trauma and embarrassment, as well as the growing feeling of disquiet inside of her lead her to first drinking, and then drugs. Luckily her time in the gutter was brief. On her 18th birthday Adrianna revealed herself too her friends and family. She had expected them all to be shocked (and they were) but what she did not expect was for them to be so supportive. With much time and
research her father was eventually able to get his daughter to America so that she could finally finish her schooling.

Hit Points: Ignore this <-- I will not!
Mental health: Ignore this
Resources: Typical
Source of Income- Her parents provide her with an allowance that covers her basic expenses and allows her to live comfortably.
Origin of Powers: Mutant
Powers: Feral Nature, Obfuscation
-
Feral- Adrianna's X-gene has altered her physical body both cosmetically and functionally. She is much stronger, faster, and more durable than a normal human. She is able to lift many times her own body weight,
can run faster and farther than the fastest human runners, and can rival olympic gymnasts with her acrobatic feats. In addition to her heightened physical prowess she has a number of other more specific abilities.
*Heightened Senses/Hyper Awareness- She has the olfactory and auditory senses of a jungle predator. In the dark her catlike eyes allow her to see with no trouble.
*Fang and Claw- To compliment Adrianna's increased physical prowess mother nature saw her way fit to equip Adrianna with a rather formidable set of natural weapons. Her claws, while they are not made of adamantium they are supernaturally strong and always razor sharp. Fortunately they are semi-retractable (pulling back to resemble something between a fingernail and a claw), which allows her to manipulate fine objects without fumbling with overlong nails. When fully extended however the claws are nearly three inches long and capable of penetrating steel armoring. Her fangs are equally potent, though not as lengthy they come to needle sharp points and are also capable of penetrating armor.
*My tail is so pretty! Adrianna is strangely proud of her colorful extra appendage. Though not prehensile it is functional and quite useful when she is attempting acrobatics, or trying to pick up dudes at a cos-play convention. Not to mention the natural potential of all feline tails to sway back and forth hypnotically and somehow convince the humans to do their bidding.
Obfuscation- Addy's hunter aspect is not all about muscle and claws. Tiger's are ambush predators and the most important part of the ambush is stealth. To that end Adrianna's X-gene has granted her the ability to generate a sort of stealth field. It is important to not that this field isn't a physical manifestation, but a form of weak (or rather very specific) telepathy. When desiring to remain unnoticed Addy can activate this power and seem to "fade in to the crowd." Anyone looking at her sees a sort of blank, generic person. They can tell little about it, remembering neither hair nor eye color, nor often times even her gender. The psychic deception is quite fragile though, and if Adrianna does anything to draw attention to herself the masque is broken instantly. Shouting, attacking, running, or any quick movement that can't be covered by a mundane reason is likely to break her cover. Furthermore she cannot activate this power
if she already has drawn attention. If she wishes to use it in combat or a similar situation she must first hide from, or distract her opponents. Once they lose track of her she can activate the power and attempt to slip past them, noticed but unrecognized.
*Blind the Mind's Eye- Addy uses her inhuman stealth to hide, often in plain sight. This is the most basic expression of her obfuscation power, allowing her to remain unnoticed even in plain sight, as long as she doesn't do anything to draw attention. This power does not effect electronic recording devices directly but it *does* affect anyone viewing them, even years after the fact. It is a subtle but quite powerful ability that taps directly into the shared energy between all living things.
*Legerdemain- Sometimes Adrianna doesn't need to remain unnoticed herself, just a single item, or certain aspect of her appearance. By focusing her power onto an item in her possession or a specific feature of her person she can mask the object from the looker's mind. Through a combination of palming, distraction, and x-gene driven power she can obscure almost any object through all but the most rigorous searching no matter how forbidden or often obviously dangerous it may be. She need not keep the object on her person, but it must remain within her presence to remain hidden. Furthermore hiding the object in a mundane fashion before attempting to use the power can often be quite helpful.
*Striking Presence- This power is literally her hiding ability reversed. Rather than deflect attention she inexplicably calls the attention of all in her presence. The manner in which the attention is received depends greatly upon how Adrianna has presented herself. If she stands tall and speaks boldly and confidentially she will be perceived as strong and inspiring. If she speaks timidly and meekly she will be perceived as weak and helpless. If she is sultry and seductive then all will see her as a desirable, sexual creature. The effect on the observer is quick, but rarely subtle. Just because she has their attention, and some control of what *kind* of attention she is receiving from them this does not give her any unnatural control over them. Sure the mutant hate group come to kill her might think she is super sexy, but that doesn't guarantee her safety by any means.
Equipment:
Equipment- Smart Phone: Good for all kinds of things, mostly she uses it to share photos with her friends and family.
Equipment- Subari Impreza WRX STi: FUN!
Equipment- Compound Bow: Adrianna's bow is custom built to suit her specific proportions and physical ability. The draw weight on the weapon is dialed in specifically for her and anyone whose strength does not match or exceed hers will find the weapon impossible to fire. Because the draw weight is so high only special arrows with reinforced shafts can be fired. The expense and difficulty in acquiring new arrows means this weapon rarely sees use. Only when it cannot be avoided, or when a direct confrontation is too dangerous.
Weaknesses:
Weakness- Catnip: Adrianna is positively mental for catnip. The scent alone will intoxicate her and if she actually able to consume any (eating it, rubbing it all over her skin, or even smoking it) she will be spun out for several hours. A serious catnip addiction could be quite a problem for her.
Weakness- Rage: When put under extreme duress Adrianna is prone to lapse into a feral state, either attacking her enemies in a blind rage, or fleeing in terror. In either instance she is extremely dangerous to be around when she is in such a state. Furthermore this little tantrums tend to excite her X-gene. Each such rage has left her physical appearance altered. Over the years, as she has lost her temper several times she has come to look as she appears today.
Contacts:
Indonesian Embassy- Though Adrianna is technically a dual-citizen she still feels like a foreigner, so she maintains contact with a friend of hers at the Indonesian Embassy in D.C. If she is ever needed she could go to there and they would keep her safe (as safe as they could) and work to send her back home. Also she can ask for their help with assistance in all manners of more mundane issues (finding housing, a job, financial assistance, ect.)
Knowledges:
Indonesian and South Asian history, and geography.
She is also fluent in several of the regional dialects of her homeland as well as Malay, Dutch, and English.
Skills:
Tiger Style Kung-fu: Adrianna is more skilled and deadly with her claws and teeth than she is with any weapon. Her finely honed instincts make her body a natural weapon.
Larceny: Addy's time spent on the streets taught her many things, most of them she has tried to forget, others she still finds quite useful. She is quite skilled at pick pocketing, lock-picking, and even has some experience with electronic surveillance.
Notable Notes: Adrianna's eyes are anatomically and physiologically very similar to those of a real cat. Although she can see very well in the dark she is effectively color blind. Learning which traffic light is which in a new city is going to be fun for her.
