NAME: Tamara Sonja (pronounced Sonia) Sulik
NICKNAME: Tam
AGE: 31, December 12th 1982
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Heteroflexible
POSITION: Bellefonte Staff, dorm monitor
FACE CLAIM:Anna Silk
POWER: Holographic Imagery
Tam can generate holographic images of virtually anything. For that to happen, she needs to think of the image she would like to project (person, object, an entire scene from a movie...). The brain processes the imagery she has in mind and will recreate it in front of her, like a projector on a white screen. Some say light might be involved as the images glow a little. She never knew exactly how it worked but she generally compares her brain to a movie projector as it is the most accurate. She controls those images and can tweak and make them move at will.
Those images will then move the way she decides them to. Those images will look realistic but even if the colors will fit, they remain see-through and slightly glowing. You cannot touch the holograms, your hand will pass through it. This also means the holograms cannot hurt you no matter how violent they can react. Those images can be in three dimensions but for that to happen, she needs to know what the object look like in three dimensions. For example, if she saw only the front facade of a building, making it 3D will be impossible for her without some guesswork, making it look not as realistic, or by making all faces identical to the one she knows.
Her power is also limited by her imagination. She can make a random person appear, even modify it at will while it is projected. But they will most likely resemble a face she had seen before or be a mix of different faces. Also, if she had not seen the person/object beforehand, she will imagine the details, making it perhaps not be as realistic as it was supposed to be. She can recreate scenes from a movie for example, but if she doesn't remember it exactly, it will be different, either by the look of the characters or what they are doing.
She needs to concentrate to project those images. The more complex in size, details or movement, the more concentration is needed. She can talk when the conversation doesn't require a lot of attention but the images will fade away if anything makes her lose her concentration. Also, if she talks, the image will probably not move as much, unless they move to mimic what she says and the details risk being not as precise. Small, motionless holograms don't ask too much of her, she's grown used to it, but the more details into it, the more she needs to focus, being unaware of her surrounding because of that and putting her in danger of anyone who would like to strike at her then. Concentrating for too long can also tire her. When this happens, she is prone to dizziness and migraines. She also has a higher chance of brain tumors though so far didn't get any. She's knocking on wood.
APPEARANCE SECTION: Tam sometimes wished she was taller than her 165 cm (5'5''). She wears high heel boots and shoes to fix that as she doesn't like seeing so many people taller than she is. She is very slim, about 125 pounds and has a lovely hourglass body shape. With measurements such as 36-25-35, she's got nothing to envy on the younger women. She's got hazelnut eyes and long brown hair. When she smiles, she feels as if she is showing too much gum so it is sometimes stiff when she controls it.
You can say she has a very sexy way of dressing up. She loves clothes that are close to her body and flatter her silhouette. She particularly enjoys showing some cleavage. She often says she could make a potato sack look sexy but she's more conscious of the way she projects herself than she pretends. Rarely however she will take hours to find what to wear, unless she dresses to impress. As for her hair, she generally let them down or in a high ponytail.
MUST HAVE APPAREL: Tam has a thing for V-necks. Even if she were to wear a buttoned shirt, she would leave a button or two open at the top. She needs to let the girls breathe. She always wears a silver pendant with the picture of her son in it.
PERSONALITY SECTION: You know the song "Sexy and I Know It"? Well, that defines Tam well. She oozes sex appeal and backs it up with a lot of confidence. She uses her sexuality has a tool. She's very dominant and hates whenever someone, especially a man, tries to act as if they owned her or was over her in any way. Unless she allows you to have a certain form of authority over her, not only you don't, but she does over you, as simple as that. And she is ready to use sex to turn you into her little bitch and prove her point if necessary.
But looks only take you so far and she knows it. She's quite smart. Not book smart, more like street smart. She's intuitive and adapts to any situation very quickly. She's cunning and analyzes a situation to know how to get around any obstacle. If she cannot, then she'll smash her way through it, or have someone else better fit to do it in her stead.
She hates owing people something and will probably deny such unless it is quite obvious. She is very sociable and will enjoy going out for a drink and share some stories with people but she is very guarded on the most important stuff. She's travelled a lot in her life and made her have acquaintance more than real friends. She doesn't like showing vulnerability as others might have an advantage over her. She doesn't let that guard down easily and so doesn't try to have people very close to her, people who can mean a lot eventually.
She's realistic and can often appear as cold to some people. Hot in bed but ice cold in life. She has a sarcastic type of humour which doesn't help with that whole image people have of her. So she usually sticks around people who understand sarcasm and perhaps even share that kind of humour or are as secretive as she can be.
EXTRA QUIRK: Despite not being American, she learned to take on the accent and can appear as if she was from here really. Although, for fun, she sometimes exaggerates her Serbian accent. This accent will also show when she is pissed as she cannot control herself as much as usual.
FATHER: Anton Sulik
MOTHER: Sandra Sulik
SIBLINGS: none
PET: none
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: she is technically still married to Warren Anderson but they had not seen each other for six years or so
WORTHY MENTIONS: her son, Mikael, who is 10 and lives with her parents back in Serbia
CHILDHOOD: Tam was born in a small town in the countryside of Serbia. She never liked it much. She enjoyed climbing trees and running through the fields but that was about it. Her parents didn't own a farm like some people, they owned the inn in town. Not a hotel, an inn, kind of bed and breakfast like, with about a 5-6 rooms on the second floor and a restaurant and bar on the first one. They lived there too and Tam often had to help them clean the rooms and the like. It was made her wish for something else, life in a big city, something more exciting where she wouldn't have to clean people's shit behind them.
She was still a happy child and was liked by her parents. They had so much work that she was often left on her own, making her independent fast. She learned more drinking stories and old songs, some kids might be better not know yet, than most kids her age. She never cared much about it though. Just like she didn't care making boys do stupid things or chasing after them to kick their butt.
ADOLESCENCE: She was twelve when he power first manifested. Not very long after her first periods. Her mother told her she was becoming a woman and started to have some discussions with her, about life and all. And from those discussions, images showed up. No need to say, it scared the hell out of the two women. Tam actually loved those images but since they could come out at any whenever she had a vivid image in her head, her parents pretended she was sick and kept her in her room, Tamara trying to create more of those images but lacking the concentration to do so well. It didn't take very long after that for recruiters from St. Cadou in Romania to come to them and explain what this was all about. She was then sent there.
It was the first time she had a taste of a larger world than her small town. And she loved it. She trained real hard, pushed her power to see just how much she could do. She sometimes envied other people with what she'd consider more useful powers but she thought hers was more amusing and interesting than most.
She also actually showed interest in her studies. It wasn’t something she cared all that much before and even then she had some lessons she just simply didn’t bother learning. Whatever seemed of no use to her, she would simply forget the minute her teachers showed her. When it came to training of course, she was passionate and pushed her limits as much as she could. She soon found herself able to make bigger holograms, some even extremely well detailed. It took her a lot of work to have them actually move however and always asked a lot of concentration from her but it simply comforted her in her own abilities, perhaps to the point of appearing cocky to the other students.
As her breasts started to grow so did the interest of boys. She actually liked it at some point. That is, until some random jealous girls decided she must be stuffing her bra with tissues or something and found a way to lift her shirt in front of everybody so they would know it was not the case. She didn’t trust people as much after that and was forced to endure many sex jokes. It was a blow to her self-confidence and made her even hate boys a bit for being so superficial and assuming that because she had a nice figure she must be horny. In the end, she shielded herself and decided to play the sexy card. Mostly to annoy the other girls and show them how she was getting all the boys and not them. She didn't exactly fell in love with anyone, she refused to let that happen. Just as she refused to go with a boy only because he asked it. She understood this was some kind of power she could use over boys and she started to play with it, despite the reputation it gave her.
ADULTHOOD: She graduated from there at 18 and was then returned to her parents, much to her dismay. Her small town now looked even smaller now. She wanted to leave this place and so she did, going to Belgrade. But she dreamed of America. Because it was huge and all about excess and she were sure it would bring more thrills to her than this boring job as a waitress in a restaurant. She didn't have the money to go there however, and she didn't even want to think about visas and everything of the like. Must be hell. She was then put in contact with a woman who offered her a way to go to the States in total legality and she wouldn't even have to worry about a visa or anything of the like. How? Well, marriage of course. The idea of being a mail-order bride was not to please her much but she had always been very practical and it was the only way she found to get there without having to pay anything. So she ended up sent all the way to Vegas to marry some man twenty years or so older than she was.
No need to say there wasn’t any love between her and Warren. She assumed he loved her and expected her to love him eventually as well. But she mostly pretended to be some poor girl who lived in misery and wanted him to help her and all that bullshit you can write to someone to appeal to him. And he fell for it. And he married her. At first, it was easy. The man tried to please her. With time however, he started to show how possessive he was, claiming she was his since he bought her. He’d often grovel and apologize later on but she was actually pretty scared he would one day call it off and she would then be forced to go back to Serbia or be irregular she assumed.
She ran away after about a year. She was pregnant, but not of him. She travelled, doing all kinds of odd jobs, from pole dancing to being a waitress in a fast food, not to add a few naked pictures and experience and sales or bartending. Anything would do, really, as long as she could start now and could get away quickly. She was always afraid Warren might find her and when her son was four, she sent him to live with her parents in case it would happen, just so he wouldn’t try to take him from her. He did find her eventually. She warned him she would not come back but since she feared a divorce would complicate her situation (she never really tried to fix that while being away), she agreed to sign everything he presented to her making it impossible for her to touch his money.
She had already heard a bit about Bellefonte, but it was not very long after this that she was told its location. She thought about watching for herself. Truth be told she was a bit tired of never staying more than three or four months at the same place. Plus she recalled her time back at St. Cadou. So she applied for a job there, first as a dorm monitor, which did not always please her but was one of the few jobs available at the time that fit her competences. After that she started to make her situation regular with the authorities and eveything, which isn't always easy.
She still often thinks about her son, of course, and talks to him through a webcam as often as she can. She doesn't want him around just yet because she doesn't know if he is a mutant yet as he is a little too young to know. If he isn't she believes he would have a better chance with her parents, not to add she doesn't want to throw him in that world. If he is a mutant like her, than she would pull strings to bring him here. She often misses him even though the boy is at an age to think she sent him away because he was more of a nuisance to her.
