[Vera M. Solway]

VERA, MILAN, MARCELLO

EIGHTEEN//FEMALE//BI-CURIOUS//TELEKINESIS&TELEKINETIC COMBUSTION//STUDENT//ADRIANA LIMA
POWER INFO:
Telekinesis & Telekinetic Combustion
Vera's base ability is telekinesis, this ability allows her to move objects, people, etc with her mental capacity. It allows her to pull, push, lift, and shift said objects that may weight up to 150 lbs, on a good day. The second or advanced part of her telekinesis is the telekinetic combustion. Vera also is able to create these TK Explosions (Or Telekinetic Combustion) which in better terms, happens when she accelerates the particles of matter telekinetically, which causes the target to explode or be impacted with the same force (ie. it may explode a door into pieces or if the object is much too powerful/strong/heavy/complex to explode, it may be pushed back with the same force).

Limits:Vera cannot use her abilities on herself as of yet and while Vera has somewhat of a control over her basic telekinesis but can only move to 150 lbs, anything heavier would create a great amount of strain. Vera also has a 50/50 chance of her telekinetic combustion to happen at will. It's even more difficult to control if she is undergoing strong or constantly changing emotions.

Side Effects: Dizziness, nose bleeds, fatigue, possible unconsciousness, confusion, mental strain and headaches. Backlash of her telekinetic combustion may also happen, they backfire every now and then.

GENERAL APPEARANCE:
Vera stands at 5'8 and weighs about 135 pounds, she's a bit average height with a slim but slightly athletic body which was formed by her love for dance and gymnastics. With a skin tone to be described as a very light caramel mulatto. Her natural hair is curly and brown with golden highlights and falls down to her butt but Vera can be seen with her hair straight or even wavy every now and then. Her brows are mostly arched, her almond shaped eyes shine a light brown in color and her lips are small in size but very plump and pouty. When she opens those plump lips, a soulful New York accent can be heard while her mouth stays pout, which she can't help.

Her main facial expression may seem very expressionless seeing how Vera does not go around smiling everywhere. Most of the time, she's in deep thought and with being an army brat she has a knack of showing very little emotion but from time to time you will see a full smile on her face. She tends to raise a brow when confused, or surprised or just out of habit. Vera walks very straight forward with a little attitude and confidence in each step, especially when walking in a new pair of heels. So she may come off a tad bit intimidating and she has no problem coming off as such.

MUST HAVE APPAREL:
Tons of black, dark purple and other dark colors, lighter tones in her closet here and there. Tees, tight jeans, shorts, leather jackets, leggings, and the latest sneakers. Also has a collection of dresses and heels that she's very proud of. 
PERSONALITY:
A free bird, friendly, easy to talk to, and is an amazing listener. Vera is the type of gal to play by ear. Not really one to plan, she likes surprises seeing that she thinks she's ready for almost anything that passes on by. She enjoys meeting new people and even more loves to be in a crowd of others, not to be the most seen but to just drown in the space of other people and enjoy herself. Vera is very much into having fun and feeds her curiosity and crave for adventure. There will be times where she enjoys having a peaceful and quiet day to herself. Vera has the traits of a loner and an outgoing brat mixed into one. She will always stand for her friends as much as she stands against her enemies and would never get the two mixed up.

Vera tends to enjoy peace over war, meaning that she will try to bring peace but if all else fails, she'd more than likely be ready for war. When pushed, she can turn into the most temperamental young adult with a small smile on her face. 

A lover, a flirt, and mostly faithful with in a committed relationship. She wouldn't shy away from a relationship but that doesn't change the fact that she is also very cautious, as every young woman should be. She finds herself attracted to both sexes but has never been in a relationship with another female and she isn't too sure how that would pan out..
EXTRA QUIRK:She gets grossed out by weird stuff like game glitches. She's very claustrophobic when it comes to confinement.

WORTHY MENTIONS: Uncle| Dixson Marcello

CHILDHOOD: Vera was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She was apart of a family that had two very loving parents, her mother was a shy and quiet dancer from North Korea, while her father was an African American and Colombian in the Army who was also a very well known man among his peers, a man who was very strict and very down to earth. Her life also consisted of being around her three siblings, Erin and Rose were older and Jason who was also just a few months older than her. Which also makes her the youngest of the four. When younger, Vera was pretty much seen as the princess of the household, the well behaved one, until she grew out it and grew very much into her own personality. At the age of 13 she had started smoking, drinking, skipping school because apparently, she wasn't old enough to appreciate what her parents wanted for her.

ADOLESCENCE:It wasn't until later when her parents were fed up and her father, without warning informed Vera they would be sending her to a boot camp in New Mexico for the next four years or until she got her act together. Seeing that she couldn't run away from the amazing offer, she accepted without much of a fight and saw it as a challenge. The next thing she knew, Vera was on a flight to New Mexico and her parents were there to escort her, just to make sure she got there safe... or just got there period. But during the trip, around 3:14 AM the plane had been experiencing more turbulence than a usual flight. It had gotten to the point where the pilot had announced that they were having some difficulties with the current ongoing flight and they would have to land soon. Vera had been half asleep and a bit too groggy to comprehend on what was going on. From there, everything went downhill... from the oxygen masks coming down to the plane trying to descend to everything going full black.

It had been hours until Vera was found underneath her parents and a great amount of debris, unconscious while she had experienced multiple broken bones, fractures, bruises and deep cuts. The rescue team was almost sure that she was dead along with the rest of those who were on the flight, including her parents. Only to find out that the young adult ended up in a coma, which lasted for six months. Once she awoken, she was greeted by her siblings and her uncle, Dixson.


ADULTHOOD: During the most of her young adulthood Vera lived in Montana with the rest of her siblings, underneath their uncle's roof. Uncle Dixson was from their father's side was also in the military and soon to be married. Much had changed in Vera's life while living in the new state of Montana. She found herself very self kept, still in mourning, and blaming herself for a lot of things, including her parents death. The anxiety and stress of it all caused more than one occurrences in which things would explode into bits around the home. If that wasn't enough unwanted stress, a week later Vera had the privilege of receiving a visit from two recruiters from The Bellefonte Academy. There had been much confusion and anger in the confrontation from Vera's part, including her family finding out about the visit and Vera's new found abilities. Even though it took almost the entire day to convince Vera without using force, she somewhat agreed to go but that didn't mean she was okay with it.

SAMPLE:Jade Marcelo from Astonishing New Mutants RP

Jade wasn't too sure if she was as ready as she thought or even felt that she was. A few weeks ago during her text conversation and visit with Sergio, he had basically told her he would train her... didn't really ask but instead told her and she was fine with this. Actually, Jade always felt as if she was ready for anything and this would be no exception. Except, he also warned her that he wouldn't go easy on her and even though she didn't think much of it before, now she was starting to get this weird feeling in her stomach. The feeling of why. He made it clear to her numerous times that she needed to be on her guard and ready for anything and everything. It gave her this feeling of something big that was about to happen and she wanted to know why. Jade hated unexpected situations, it scared the living crap out of her and she wasn't sure she could handle another one even though it had been years after her parent's deaths.

A deep breath was taken underneath her helmet but couldn't be heard under the roaring engine as she continued to speed through traffic just so she could make it on time to meet Sergio. He had warned her about being late especially since he knew of her behavior and how she was known to not really worry to much on time but she promised she wouldn't be late and she always kept her promises. Once reaching the warehouse, Jade shifted her bike and came to a halt before taking off her helmet to reveal her face. Her eyes searched the outside of the building as her straight and cut bangs covered those same eyes. She hopped off the bike, set her helmet on the seating and headed inside. Jade had been wearing a short black top that revealed her stomach, leggings and boots to match with her bike gloves still strapped on her hands. The moment she got in, she spotted Sergio as he welcomed her with a hug, hugging him back her heart started to suddenly race but her expression didn't change, she didn't need him to see how excited she was to be around him. So her overly plumped lips simply smiled at him. "Hey! The bike isn't trashed yet if that's what you're asking... but yeah, I'm ready." It felt weird that they had to go straight into her training but she was warned before hand. One side of Jade wanted to just spend time with Sergio but the other side knew that wouldn't happen unless his fist was flying at her. For these next long weeks Jade would have to suck up the whole mushy crap and put it aside. Easier said than done.

Jade noticed the two chairs that Sergio gestured to and she went to sit in the one right in front of him. What would they be getting into today? God, she hoped he hadn't hired Dr.Phil to talk to her because she hated that bald fuck. All mutants, no matter how you grew up. have some type of emotional barrier. Something in there past that haunts them in memory. Emotions are what get people killed. So tell me, what memories are holding you back from going to the next level? Looking straight at Sergio, her eyes examined his familiar face but suddenly stopped once he asked about memories. Jade knew she had one of the thickest emotional barriers out there that had just been built up with memories, memories that haunted her sleep daily and used to make her cry from the simple thought of them. Jade didn't want to talk about it... let alone think about. This wasn't what the hell she signed up for, if anything her emotions were what kept her powers dangerous and she wasn't sure if that was bad for her or bad for anyone she went up against.

Either way, she didn't want to speak on her parents,"Nothing..." She straight lied to him. "There's nothing holding me back."

NAME: Vera, Milan, Marcello
NICKNAME: Vee
AGE: Nineteen
ORIENTATION: Bi-Sexual
POSITION: College Student/Bellefonte Academy Official (Security)


POWERS UPDATE Having full control over her abilities isn't impossible but she still isn't quite there yet. Her telekinesis and telekinetic combustion have somewhat been one in the same and especially now that she's understanding the basics of how her telekinetic energy works. Vera is able to use both without any issues as her combustion seems to work better in terms of her triggering it instead of it randomly happening. But it doesn't change the fact that her emotions, PTSD and temper play a big role when it comes to the use of her powers. So until she learns how to keep her emotions and her temper under control, she still has a few problems.


ADULTHOOD ADDON From the moment when Vera stepped in the academy for the first time to her current years, she has experienced and learned a lot about herself. Her list of people she trusts has grown as well as her list of enemies. She has been diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing symptoms a few years after losing her parents and going into a coma. Her sexual attraction and interests are now with both male and female as she is no longer "curious" and has been more actively open in dating and sleeping with both. Her love for dance and gymnastics stays the same but her discipline in martial arts has grown bigger out of the three. Which caused her to set sights on perusing a career in Criminal Justice or something along those lines in the future. As for now, Vera landed a security job at the academy while she'll be attending college courses there thanks to Elsa Bellefonte but has moved out and will be living near by the school until further notice. Before her senior, Vera had the urge to move back home to NYC after graduation, seeing how she didn't feel as if she fit in a state like Montana. Her relationships with her friends had been the mind changer especially after experiencing what SPECTRE was really about and what they were capable of. Now the telekinetic feels the need to be among her own.

NAME: Vera, Milan, Marcello
NICKNAME: Vee
AGE: Nineteen
ORIENTATION: Bi-Sexual
POSITION: College Student & Security Staff (Intern)


POWERS UPDATE 
While nothing drastic has changed with her abilities, Vera has been more open and comfortable with using her telekinesis and telekinetic combustion. It had taken a while until the fear of harming someone else had somewhat gone away, but now she has been using her abilities much more confidently, even almost to the point where she doesn't realize she's using her telekinesis for every day tasks. Her dedication to keeping fit has also helped with her telekinesis significantly. The more she's been able to lift with her own two hands, her telekinesis matches that same amount of strength. Though, her temper hasn't been getting any better, so her abilities may still lash out because of this.

ADULTHOOD ADDON 
Vera has learned to juggle college, her internship, disciplines, while trying to have a normal social life. While it's not easy, it's doable. Her heart has also been on a roller coster ride even before she confessed her love for Riley Coleson. While she believes it has become a mutual thing, she can't help but to question it, wondering if rumors about him having cold feet are true, or the two of them will ever be set in stone together at the end of it all or broken apart before they can even become a couple. Because of this, she had even tried her best to separate her true love for him from her developing feelings for Elsa Bellefonte and her feelings for Devyn Solway that she pushed aside just so she could save their friendship among other things.

Now only if she can keep her temper, jealousy, and doubt from driving him away while keeping herself from going back to her old ways.

[Vera M. Solway]

NAME: Vera Milan Solway (neé Marcello)
NICKNAME: Vee
AGE: Twenty-Three
ORIENTATION: Bi-Sexual
POSITION: Police Officer

POWERS: 
Telekinesis
Her base ability. The very reason Vera arrived to Bellefonte a few years back. Still able to use and manipulate telekinetic energy to move objects, people, etc within her mental capability. Thanks to her past training (and the epidemic known as the SPRITE), the amount and weight of how much she can lift has went up slightly, being able to telekinetically lift anywhere from 150lb to 250lbs at once. 

Telekinetic Combustion
Because of the epidemic, Vera ended up losing an ability that took her quite the time to come to terms with. She lost the ability to telekinetically speed up molecules into the point where said object combusts or explodes. 

Tactile Telekinesis
During the first year of mutants being "exposed", before SPRITE hit, Vera had shown a very quick and small example of her telekinetic energy forming into an invisible field, while protecting her and a friend who had been attacked during a night out. That had been the first and last time she had seen it in action until SPRITE. After SPRITE, more instances occurred during duty, causing the ability to surface even more. Tactile Telekinesis allows Vera's body to be "coated" or surrounded by an invisible field of telekinetic energy, enhancing her physical prowess by just a bit. It can also be spread out into protection for her and those in the immediate area near her.

LIMITS:
Vera cannot use her telekinesis on herself unless it's because of it backfiring.
Her limit is 250lbs at once, anything more than that is pushing it, will cause strain.
Her emotions can and will trigger her abilities against will.
Sudden changes in environment can and will trigger her abilities against will.
Immense amounts of repetitive physical force can and will break through the energy field.
Extreme force or force stronger/more experienced than her can break through her ability.
Tactile Telekinesis has a time limit up to 15 minutes at a time, anything more than that is pushing it, will cause strain.

SIDE EFFECTS: 
Headaches, migraines, dizziness, nose bleeds, fatigue, possible unconsciousness, confusion, mental strain, and backlash when ability backfires.


Wow.

Where do I even start?

Well for one, I ditched the purple hair.

It's been quite the journey. A lot has happened within three years and I can't help but to think there is more to come, you know? After the whole "information release" of mutants when those Inherited hippies came into town and blabbed on local news, things kind of went spiraling downhill in a way. The family that I had left? Well let's just say they all kind of split up and went to live their own lives outside of Montana and because of the love I had for my uncle, I had him promise me that he'd move back to New York... just incase any of the neighbors had an issue with him having a mutant as a niece. I've already caused enough issues with my family, it's only right that I think of them first. 

As for me, I stayed in Montana. I didn't budge because I couldn't allow myself to have my tail tucked between my legs. I'm a mutant, my wife is a mutant, and my closes friends, colleagues? Well most of them are mutants. Speaking of my wife, Devyn Solway... not too long after the local news about mutants hit, she proposed to me and I said yes. She was my best friend, my girlfriend, and my soulmate... and now she's my wife and if we could go back in time, I'd do it all over again with her. I love her. Heck, I'm in love with her, madly in love and I was willing to change my last name because of it. After getting married, we both focused on our jobs and saved enough to move out into our own place.

During my early college years, I kept my spot on the Security Squad despite the Council being disbanded, and to this day I still help run the Security Squad program but sometimes from afar. At the same time, I managed to get through the Criminal Justice program and become a police officer at the age of 21. I'm still an officer with the KPD but my sights are kind of set on becoming a detective. It's kind of a goal I have and I know I have a bit to go but I'm sure I'll get there. 

As far as the whole, "either you're with us or against us", I have respect for both humans and mutants and plan on protecting everyone. I've gone through so many changes, and specially with my powers since the past three years. It's been quite the ride. I'm surprised I've made it this far.

And like I said before...

I have a feeling there's more to come.
