Player: A-C
Name: Emma Strange
Codename: Shard
Age: 18
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160
Hair: Jet black, fading to purple towards the tips
Eyes: Deep brown, close to black
Nationality: Texan American
Occupation: Student/Shop worker
Appearance: Emma is a little taller than average for her age and has a very healthy build (though not to the extent of being called chubby or plump). Her hair is a little long and stops a little bit below her shoulder blades. Her hair is, for the most part, jet black, however the last two inches fade from black to a deep, vibrant purple.
Of particular note are her eyes. She has brown eyes, but something doesn't seem quite right about them. Of all the people who've tried, the best that's come out of it has been "they look taller than they should".
Costume:
Initially, Emma was content to fight in whatever clothes she happened to be wearing at the time. In accordance with company rules, however, she has been issued a costume.
The costume is a modified bodysuit, virtually identical to those work by professional ice skaters. It has a light blue, almost sky blue body with a purple lightning bolt pattern moving from the neck to the navel.
It's thick and flexible enough to keep her warm and allow movement, but at the same time is tight and flashy enough to allow merchndising. At the same time, however, the costume is far too warm for everyday use, so it's only worn when appropriate (IE: during attacks, etc.)
Insignia:
None
Personality: Emma's personality varies depending on what's required. For the most part she's very open, outgoing and confident. Brash, even. Given how tomboyish she acts, she's not out of place among the boys.
However, when the situation requires it she's entirely capable of being sweet, caring and nurturing.
When it comes to a fight (be it a school endorsed fracas or any other brawl) she's generally calm and collected, but at the same time she doesn't really take things too seriously. She knows she's better than whoever or whatever it is she's up against, it's just up to her to prove it.
Also, don't call her an alien. Kinda hits the berserk button and breaks it so it remains on.
Emma can hold her own in a fight. That is not to say she knows how to disarm hostiles, etc., but rather than she is able to throw a lot of strong, well aimed punches. Her fighting skill comes not from having any formal training by any organisation, but from growing up around four older brothers.
Background: There exists a race of aliens known only as "The sacred". These aliens have taken it upon themselves to find various civilisations, augment random individuals and observe the results in an attempt to see which spontaneous advances improve the way of life of their recipients.
When it came time to perform an experiment on a citizen of Earth, the recipient of the treatment was one Danielle Strange. Rather, the augmentation was received by the child Danielle was carrying at the time; a baby girl known as Emma.
Emma was born and raised in Aurora, Texas. Even while her mother was pregnant there were rumours that it had been the subject of (or even because of) extra-terrestrial interference. In spite of the rumours Emma's childhood was pretty normal and uneventful.
Around the time she entered her teens, however, she began to exhibit her powers in various ways. For the most part this was limited to helping herself in various small ways, but when they began to fully manifest themselves she couldn't hide them any longer. It didn't help that she got suspended from school for freezing two bullies against the wall.
During her suspension it was decided she would cope the best when put into a situation that could better deal with her powers. The choice was prison or boarding school; Emma remains convinced she has chosen the wrong one.

Fighting----- (#) Fucking fantastic.
Agility------ (#) Pretty great.
Strength----- (#) Above average.
Endurance---- (#) Amazing.
Reasoning---- (#) Not great.
Intuition---- (#) Easily lead, especially by what seems cool at the time.
Psyche------- (#) Emma can perform her abilities at all times. When she gets pissed off, however, her skills tend to become much more powerful and much less accurate.
Hit Points: #value
Mental health: #value
Resources: Very minimum money
Source of Income- Emma works at a local Gamestop. Or EB. Or whatever.
Contacts - None at all
Origin of Powers: Alien interference
Powers:
Power- The ability to conjure ice from thin air/the ability to manipulate said ice.
This also includes the ability to manipulate existing bodies of water/ice, such as chilling water so it freezes or increasing the size of bodies of ice.
The power manifests itself from her second, third and fourth fingertips. It is not unlimited, however, and when drained Emma must rest (usually by sleeping) in order to restore her power.
The power is limited, however. She cannot, for example, conjure an iceberg out of thin air. A good guideline would enough to coat a small car.
*Weaknesses
Her powers do not offer protection against temperature extremes, however. With the exception of her fingertips she feels hot and cold like anyone else would and tends to react accordingly.
*Stunt- Emma can freeze over parts of her person to give them more bite when using them. Y'know, making some kind of icicle gauntlet for extra pummelage.
