Character Name: Heather Collins
Character LJ (if applicable): loveontherocks
Physical description (face, build, weight): Since bonding with an aspect of the Predator entity, Heather's body is now made of a blue, crystal-like substance.  Her hair is likewise made of crystal-like material, albeit very finely woven.
Age: 21
Birthday: February 28
Codename (if using one): Sapphire
PB: (If using one.) scans of Transonic/Laurie from the X-Men comics

Abilities: Enhanced strength and durability, flight, and the ability to generate, shape, and control crystals (from Iceman type stuff to making and animating a crystal statue, etc).

Being made out of crystal means she no longer needs to eat, breathe, or eliminate wastes.  She does still require sleep.

Weaknesses and flaws: Absolutely no heroic experience, not to mention overcoming the trauma involved with a major life upheaval going on here.  Her crystal form lacks a certain amount of fine dexterity and has a diminished sense of touch.

Character location/Home:  Originally from Opal City, eventually wherever the New Guardians get based out of.

Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
Team: The New Guardians
Relatives (living/dead?): Jacob Collins (father, living), Martha Collins (mother, living), Angela Collins (sister, living), Mark Collins (brother, living)

Backstory: A lifetime resident of Opal City, Heather was working a part time job as a waitress, going to college, and just generally trying to get ahead in life.   She had an okay job waitressing, the did volunteer work down at the soup kitchen, and did sculptures on the side, though she had yet to actually sell anything.

Little did she know that her destiny was something greater, and that it would be tied up with the destinies of six other individuals.  Fragments of the Entities of the Emotional Spectrum were working their way to Earth and she was going to be one of them.  A small portion of the Predator, the Entity of the Love/Violent end of the Emotional Spectrum bonded with her, transforming her into a new, more evolved being.

And the rest isn't so much backstory as what will go down in this plot here: http://www.scribbld.com/users/loveontherocks/306.html


How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: See above, via this plot.  http://www.scribbld.com/users/loveontherocks/306.html

What are you planning to do with this character?:  Following their introductory plot, the New Guardians will be remaining on Earth and gathered under the leadership of Ganthet, the ex-Guardian.  Heather, like the others, will be having to reexamine her life, wondering about going back to it, trying to figure out what their destiny is, they'll have to try and get along, maybe fight a few super-villains,  and, oh yeah, protecting the White Entity from a threat from beyond...  And what happens with the other Corps and Entities get wind of them...?

What do you want to see happen with this character?: Gradually come to accept her role in the cosmos now, slowly put a new life together, and discover what it means to carry an aspect of the Entity of Love within her.

Please include a sample post/scene:

--sample is set sometime after the formation of the New Guardians--


Okay, so reach down inside herself, concentrate, and think of how you want it to be.  The crystal started shimmering into existence in front of her.  Where it came from, where she got the energy to make it, how it managed to exist when she stopped thinking about it... she didn't know any of these things. 

There were a lot of things she didn't know these days.  Like what the hell she was doing.  Being here.  With these people.  Supposedly responsible for the safety and future of the whole world.  She hadn't even talked to her parents yet.  They... didn't know what had happened to her. 

She didn't know if she could ever bring herself to tell them.

She continued to weave crystal, slowly shaping it.  She used her hands to guide it some, though she didn't actually need to.  She was getting good at this, at least.

Was she even human anymore?  She wasn't flesh and blood, just crystal, near as she could tell.  What would happen if she shattered?  Would she be like Humpty-Dumpty, unable to be put back together again?  She wasn't meant to be a super-hero.  Weren't, like, just about all of them these days the kids of the old heroes?  Why would any new person get involved?

She hadn't asked for any of this. To play host to some small part of something called the Predator, which apparently didn't look anything like the one from the movies.  To be "the future of humanity" as Ganthet (Or Papa Smurf, as some of them called him behind his back) called them.

She finished the sculpture, herself, the way she had looked, replicated in purple gemstone.  She closed a fist and let it shatter.
