CHARACTER INFO;
Name: Alice Fortune-Caine [nicknamed Adventure]
Alias: Flick
Age: 27
Canon/OC: OC
Power: Molecular Immobilization and combustion.
Molecular Immobilization - this is the ability to temporarily freeze objects and people in stasis for a specific period of time. With her powers now, Alice is able to freeze objects and people at will and with concious thought. She can also unfreeze them; either all of them or just a specific parts of them.
Molecular Combustion - like the immobilization, this is a distortion to the molecular make up of objects or people. Working backwards from freezing, this blows them up, causing an outward projection of the molecules and creating the 'explosion' so to speak. At first this was just evoked in anger, but Alice has steadily started to manage her ability.
Limitations: Alice needs to have her hands free in order to utilise her powers, she uses her hands as the directioning of her powers and has to gesture in order to freeze or destory anything. Similarly, Alice has to have a clear line of sight on the object she wishes to use her power on -in an outside environment she can freeze everything up to a certain distance, but in doors she is limited to a room and has to have a line of sight on it. The same with the combustion powers.
Appearance: Alice stands at five-foot nine, with striking blue eyes and golden blonde hair. Ideally, she's the pretty girl next door. She's of German descent, on her fathers side. She's lean but well muscled and physically fit, a throw back from her PI days and her extreme sports.
Alice has two scars from work related injuries, having been stabbed once, near the hip, by a suspect and shot another time, in the shoulder. Her hip scar is covered with a tattoo of a cross despite her lapsed faith. To remember her husband, Alice also has simple heart design on her inner right arm.
Alice still wears her wedding band.
Personality: Alice is prickly, like a cactus. You can rub her one way and it'll be harmless, rub her the other and prepare for a rather sharp, stabbing pain, figuratively speaking. She's argumentative, simply for the joy of having a heated discussion. She doesn't share secrets or thoughts, she's brash and rather rude -until you get under the hard shell she's erected to hide her softer side. You might find that she's bullshitted so much that you're learning about her all over again. Her stories change about five times a week.
She's closed herself off from people, choosing to live in solitude and working alone. She's got attitude and isn't afraid to use it, and she doesn't mind giving you a piece of her mind -no matter who you are or how harsh she seems. She's got a thirst for adventure -hence the nickname- and needs the odd adrenaline rush or two. It's this that spawned her hobbies; rock climbing, cliff diving, bungee jumping, sky diving. Any sort of extreme sport and Alice will try it.
History: Alice grew up in a stable, two parent family in California. Her mother was a school teacher and her father a police officer. Alice went to public school and always believed she would follow her father into the police force, something that had made her father very proud.
When Alice was 13 her father died while on duty, shot during a botched robbery attempt and killed instantly. Alice's mother made her swear she would never join the police force the day after they buried Michael Fortune. Alice regretted making the promise, but would never go against her mother's wishes. Instead, Alice put herself through University, gaining a degree in forensic investigation and planning to carry on into the Crime Scene Investigation department in Los Angeles.
Instead, Alice met Jonathan Caine, who was a Private Investigator in San Francisco. When the pair became close friends, Jonathan asked Alice to join him as a partner in the firm, much to Alice's delight. She accepted and within a year of working together the pair were in a serious relationship and strong partners in work. Alice's powers first developed during a job; when she was startled by a suspect and her hands flinched up automatically, freezing the entire room and the man pulling a gun on her. Jonathan was there, saw it all, and acted calmly and rationally while Alice had a small freak out. Jonathan was accepting of Alice's mutant nature and encouraged her to practice with her newfound ability. Seeing as she could freeze anything in her path when startled, she made efforts to learn how to use her power under conscious will.
The first time she managed to do this was to save Jonathan from a bullet. This incident cemented their relationship, spurning Alice to admit her feelings of love for Jonathan and he for her.
At the age of 24 Alice accepted Jonathan's next proposal -marriage. They got married in Los Angeles so that Alice's poorly mother could attend easily and comfortably. A few short months later and Joan-Marie died from a stroke. While Alice was devastated, Jonathan held her mostly together and the pair grew much closer for the tragic event. Following her mother's death, Alice moved completely from L.A to San Francisco, buying a house with Jonathan and settling happily in the city.
After just two years of marriage, Alice's powers evolved further and during a small argument, she lost control and Jonathan's internal organs were blown up. Alice was questioned by police but had no evidence to prove anything and Alice was completely devastated by the whole thing. Following her husbands death, Alice cut herself off -closing their P.I agency, selling their home and moving to a small apartment and ignoring any of her friends or her husbands relatives. Alice grew numb and despondent, seeking thrills of any kind in a bid to jump-start something inside her and feel again, all the while delving into her powers in a bid to keep the guilt alive inside her.
Recruitment: Following the death of her husband and the police investigation, the Government had a military sanctioned group look into Jonathan's death and the circumstances. When Alice's mutation was discovered, the information was relayed through the channels and Alice was accosted by military personnel about the team and using her powers for more than just 'getting away with murder'. Enraged, Alice froze the officers in place and walked away. A week later two others were sent and Alice accepted the offer. She saw the job as a thrill, a new extreme adrenaline push. And possibly her own suicide in the making.
SAMPLES;
Personal LJ Sample: This isn't working out. And I'm not making excuses. But I'm leaving, and hopefully leaving everything behind. It's not that I don't want to remember, it's more that I can't let myself forget. And if it means pushing on and dealing with this, then that's what I'll do.
What's the worst that could happen? I could die? That's not such a bad thing anymore.
Third Person Sample: To the naked eye, she probably doesn't look like she has a lot to worry about. She's not exactly troubled, not in the sense of it. But she is haunted, and guarded. Recruitment was probably a bad idea on someone's part, but then again, a suicidal mutant probably isn't their biggest concern either.
"Can someone explain this to me?" She looks at the two guards travelling with her. Bucko and Groucho, that's probably not their names, but she's not been given anything else, "Fifteen letters, 'a dye used as an acid-base indicator', but bromthymol blue doesn't fit." She was met with blank stares and Alice just nodded. "Right, too many syllables. Never mind chaps."
It was a long drive, and normally, she wouldn't be one for small talk, but they weren't actually replying, so it didn't could. "Hmm, nevermind, looks like a donkey made up this crossword. Saboteur doesn't fit either, the u and e are round the wrong way." Tossing her paper to the seat beside her, Alice made a show of rubbing her hands together and smirking while the two flinched. "Right, who wants to play charades?"
