Phantasm

Powers see the power rise from an open hand Primary Type III; producers
Illusion: Ability to create false sensory impressions upon subjects.
Talulah can make you think that there is spiders crawling from your ears. She can make you smell cookies burning in the oven or hear blood curdling screams. Sometimes the hallucinations are harmless, only for her enjoyment. Other times though they are only meant to cause pain or suffering. Making Talulah really good at her job.

Secondary Type IV; controllers
Hellfire Control: Ability to generate and manipulate illusory fire that illuminates but does not burn
This power is pretty much an act of intimidation, not that Talulah needs it with her primary power. She can engulf houses, people, animals, pretty much anything, including herself in flames. They aren't real by any means so they do not actually burn or leave marks, but with her power of hallucination, she can make her victims feel it, smell their own burning flesh, hear the heat make bones crackle and pop. Besides who wouldn't be scared of a flaming girl out to get them?

PERSONALITY

Talulah Wesson, is in short, a bitch. She refuses to tip toe around people feeling just because they might get upset. She tells it like it is no matter how hard it is to hear. Needless to say, that means she doesn't have a lot of friends. Talulah keeps everyone at an arms length, allowing no one to get close to her in fear that they, like everyone else in her life, will leave her. So she puts up her snark-y, sarcastic barrier and tries to keep the rest of the world out. But sometimes, only sometimes, the wall comes tumbling down and she lets someone in. But Talulah knows in the back of her mind she has to be ready to clean the rubble, and start rebuilding the wall again. One broken stone after another.

HISTORY
stories that I tell are nonfiction

It seems that everyone these days has daddy issues, Talulah Wesson is no different. Talulah was born to Sam and Anna Wesson on May 8, 1987. She was your typical happy go lucky baby, the apple of her devoted parents eyes. But soon her parents were ready for another child. When Anna was 4 her brother Oliver was born. Sadly, soon after Anna held her son for the first time she suffered a aneurysm form birthing complications and passed away. Blaming Oliver for his mother"s death, Sam Wesson resented him from the day he was brought home from the hospital. Relying heavily on help from his mother, Marie, Sam hardly ever saw either of his children until Talulah was ready to start the fifth grade.

By this time Talulah's powers had already started to show. Little things here and there, her grandmother swearing up and down that there had been a dog in her kitchen or saw a grease fire on the stove. When her grandmother passed away she was sent back to her father full time, which neither of them were too happy about. Sam rarely talked to her, barely even looked at her because she looked so much like her mother. He hated her and told her often. When Tuluah tried her usual tricks on her father, the same harmless pranks that she would subject her grandmother to, Sam caught on quickly.

Horrified of what his daughter was, he was irrational and thought that there was only one method that would stop her from demonstrating her powers. His though process was that is he instills fear and pain along with the abilities so then she would be less inclined to use them. Soon after the beatings began. By the time Talulah had entered high school she was broken. Never standing up for herself and allowing people to take blatant advantage of her, she was at her wits end. Until one day in after school a boy in her class tried drag her into a janitors closet.

The entire hallway burst into flames, the boy fell to the ground screaming in agony, and there stood Talulah. A mix of rage and joy plastered on her face in full view of the lingering students. Her secret was out and she never felt better. She was freed from the fear of her father, empowered by the hatred and anger she felt for everyone that had ever put her down. She was reborn, angry and volatile, she ran from the school never looking back.

Talulah would never forget that day. She would replay it's events over and over again in her mind with a smile. That was the day Talulah killed her father and ended the rein of terror her has held over her entire life. Using what she now saw as her gift, she drove Sam mad with hallucinations until he finally jumped from the roof of their house. There was no remorse, so sadness, just overwhelming joy.

She and Oliver were now alone in the world, determined to find others like her and to help punish those who tried to keep her kind repressed. She found The Sovereign, her gifts fitting in perfectly with her task at hand. She was an interrogator and damn good at her job. Making people think that their families are being slaughtered in front of them will really get the information flowing. She became infamous for her ruthlessness and renowned for her dedication to the cause.
