POWER INFO: Lunar Energy Absorption
Basically, Casey absorbs Lunar energy. More specifically: During the Waxing Moon:
Energy absorption from the moon is increased. The energy produces a luminescent glow to Casey’s skin. The closer to the full moon, the brighter the luminescence and the stronger/more powerful the energy can potentially be. During the full-moon she’s about as bright as a light-bulb. You could still look at her and see her but it’d leave after images(like if you tried to look directly into a light bulb and then away and you see little black spots) and a lot of squinting. With training and concentration Casey can expel the energy via her luminescence by emitting it in blasts of light. This blast of light will temporarily blind and disorient those who happen to be in the room with her. If she does this periodically during the waxing phase then she can control the energy for the most part so it doesn't hurt others around her or cause her to go manic.
Another way to expend the energy is to release it in controlled blasts, such as shooting it from her hand, or if they happened to be tied up, through her feet. These blasts carry quite a punch, being able to potentially knock someone quite a few feet away. They also leave pretty bad burns and could possibly start a fire.
Waning: As the moon starts to wane, Casey’s energy absorption rate gets lower. The less energy she absorbs the harder and less damaging/efficient her abilities are. By the time the waning moon gets to be a small crescent Casey can actually sleep during the night, (if preceded by a run or some other physical activity). The day before and after a New Moon Casey has no energy absorption rate. For all intents she’s pretty much human.
After being at the school for a bit over a year Casey has gotten to the point of being able to control the flashing so she isn’t doing it randomly and can control how bright the flashes are so if there are people or other students around and she has no choice but to expel energy some way, she can do it without the blinding effects. She hasn’t gotten to the point of being able to make big blasts. She can manipulate the energy, at this point, into a quarter sized ‘ball’ and fire at the target.
LIMITATIONS:
At full potential she wouldn’t be able to make a blast larger than her hand. At her biggest blast, she could cause 3rd degree burns and bone breaks and throw the target a good distance away. However the amount of energy it’d draw from her would leave her barely able to walk, blurry eyesight, feverish. She’d need to eat but have a hard time keeping anything to solid down. It’d take her days to recover to a healthy state and at least a week to build up enough energy for another hit like that.
She needs to learn to balance her give/take with her abilities to keep herself healthy.
She can’t control the blasts once they’ve been fired so moving targets are very problematic.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
During the Waxing stages of the moon, as Casey’s absorption increases, she finds it harder to sleep during the day. When it's just a few days off from being the full moon, and she hasn’t expended any energy, she will not be able to sleep at all. The energy keeps Casey physically well but the mental side effects of no sleep start to adversely affect Casey. She’ll be jumpy, jittery, constantly moving(over-active), and have erratic behavior. Her thoughts will jump between hyperness (because of the energy absorption) and sluggish confusion The brightness of her luminescence will even give HER headaches/migraines and she could possibly be burned (think mild sunburn). She will lose control of her abilities and she could ‘flash’ or ‘shoot’ people/things and not be able to stop it.
Through exploration of the way the lunar energy Casey absorbs, its been found that it’s become essential for Casey. She’s had to learn how to store energy for the few days before and after the New Moon, when the moons at its weakest, and to use that stored energy to fuel her and keep her conscious. The lunar energy has become like her life force, in a way. So in using her powers she has to be very careful. If she expends too much she will pass out and start experiencing flu like symptoms while her body tries to heal and replenish its lunar energy. If she doesn’t use them in any way her abilities will pulse and flare out on their own, potentially hurting people, not to mention the manic hyperness the build up of energy can cause.
If she doesn't let the energy out in some way the energy will forcefully find a way out, either through uncontrolled bursts or flashes of light.
If she’s locked inside a windowless room or building Casey will stop absorbing this energy. By the time her energy is completely depleted she will be in a deep deep coma and could even possibly die.
*Also see personality
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Casey has long brown hair and brown eyes. She’s not very tall but is very skinny so it makes her look willowy, especially if she’s wearing heels(not that she ever has). She also has wide, curious eyes. She has a naive look to her and people have tried to take advantage of that and are surprised when she knows just as much, or even more, then they do. (Of course personal experience is an entirely different matter.)
Casey also exudes trustworthiness. She just looks like someone you could tell your darkest secret too and she'd never tell anyone, which is very true.
MUST HAVE APPAREL: Nothing really. Casey’s style is very eclectic. She wears whatever she happens to feel like. Sometimes it doesn't even match.
PERSONALITY: Casey has a fluctuating, difficult personality that could frustrate people depending on their level of patience and understanding. At the beginning of a waxing phase Casey becomes more upbeat, more alert and more outgoing. She usually shows this by being more alert in classes, talking to random people that she usually never has before. About ½ way through a waxing phase, at a ½ moon, Casey has gotten to the point where she almost becomes manic. She’s always tapping her feet or fingers, pacing in the back of a classroom during class. She’s hardly sleeping now, only able to catch a nap here or there. Because of this she can become curt, rude and abrasive suddenly out of nowhere. As the full moon nears she’s always muttering to herself, singing out loud to any kind of music she feels like, part of the mania. During the full moon and shifting to the waning stage Casey can get a bit out of control. She hates being locked up and is constantly moving. Due to lack of sleep her emotions are up and down, usually to the extremes (but shows no other physical signs due to the way the energy affects her). As the moon starts waning her personality seems to slowly change to the opposite of what it was. She becomes more calm and easier to talk to as she isn’t jumping from seemingly completely random topics. She can concentrate on one thing so her school performance jumps up.
Aside from the way her powers affect her personality, Casey is a friendly, trustworthy, loyal person. She always sees the best in people, even if everyone else doesn’t. She’ll stand up to people who she thinks are bullies and try to bring out the “goodness” in them. Even though she sees the good in people she is not naive and won’t let herself be taken for a fool, though often that's what it seems like is happening. She is a self sufficient girl and is able to take care of herself if need be.
EXTRA QUIRK: Bites her nails when she's very nervous

Casey was born born to Alice Pryor in January. All Casey knows about her father is that his name is Andrew Evans and that he walked out with no notice or reason just after her birth and her mom refused to ever talk about him. Casey lived a mostly normal childhood. Her Mom worked two jobs to support the two of them. The neighbors helped take care of Casey as a baby and toddler. When she was old enough she started watching/taking care of herself, with the neighbors checking in still. Casey took to books very quickly as a way to keep her mind entertained. She read anything she could get to, from romance to textbooks and all those in between. She also however played video games, computer games and watched tv.
During her elementary and jr high years nothing too unusual happened. She was friendly, if a bit quiet, and usually got along with everyone. Despite her Mom having to work so much, Casey and her still developed a strong and close bond.
Casey’s abilities started to show during her tenth grade year(15 years old). It was very simple and Casey didn’t have any idea what was happening. It started off as just absorbing energy and a small glow, invisible during the day, but she found herself having a hard time going to sleep at night and if she did she’d wake up every few hours. Because of this she had a hard time focusing during the day at school and the other students noticed it and a small group started to call her Spacey Casey.
Casey confronted one of the girls, the one who was the ‘ringleader’ of the teasing. It escalated to yelling and then the other girl, Kendra, shoved Casey. Suddenly, as Casey stumbled back, a blast of white energy shot out of her and hit Kendra, knocking her back several feet to slam into the lockers behind her and leaving slight burns. Casey, terrified, instantly ran home, tears of fright and shock staining her cheeks.
She burst in to find her mom sitting in the living room with two strangers, all three were shocked by her sudden appearance. Her mom took her upstairs and listened to what happened. She didn’t seem as shocked as Casey was. Alice went back downstairs and after about another half hour was called down. She was told about a school in Montana called Bellefonte Academy and what kind of school it was. The school helped with the mess left by the ‘fight’ between Casey and Kendra and then the small family moved to Montana. Casey to the school and her mom in the nearby town.
Being at the school took some time to get used to and after what happened with Kendra she became shy and kept herself aloof from others. She had started making friends and then it was like her world blew up again. Now it’s been almost a year and half or so since that huge shake up and all the bad things that happened, the first mutant terrorist attack, the student kidnappings and other such things Casey has become more wary of strangers, more guarded. She’s still willing to give them a chance and still sees the potential goodness in them but she doesn’t give many chances anymore.
Initially after that first attack she found herself terrified and became a recluse, pushing away and shutting out the few people she had started to get close to, but after some soul searching(counseling a big part of that) and self defense classes(that she went into hesitantly) she’s found she's not terrified anymore. She’s still scared but she’s ready to get back out into the world. She used to not leave campus at night either because of her luminescence and not wanting to give herself away, plus she couldn’t really if she wanted to, but now that Kalispell is “out” about mutants she wants to start getting out into town. She wants to meet new people and show others that just because she’s different, that there are different people out there, not all of them are dangerous. She wants to help build a trust between the community and mutants. Especially because her mother lived in town and she wanted to keep her safe no matter what. She was all Casey had.
Casey is a senior now, turning 18 in January. She’s ready to fight for her future and others like her, hopefully in a non-violent way. On a less serious note she hates that she is such a recluse now; that she pushed away people who only wanted to be her friend. She is ready to push herself to become a brave, confident, outgoing person.
