Cassidy Isabelle Stryker
FACE CLAIM: Kristen Stewart
---------------------------------
AGE: 19, July 8, 1996
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: College Student
POWER: The Eyes Have It
Teleportation - Anywhere within her vision she can teleport to. But it has to be somewhere she's seeing in person. She can't look at a picture of Paris and teleport, and she can't just think of the nearest taco stand. She actually has to know where it is and see it with her own eyes. Basically what happens is she looks somewhere, thinks about going there, and her molecular structure shifts and transports her there.
Telescopic vision - She can basically zoom in her view like a camera lens. Her telescopic vision allows her to zoom in and see objects in the distance as if they were much closer. This helps her teleportation because while she can teleport to wherever she can see, if it is further away it is more difficult. For example, if she looks in the distance and can't zoom in with her vision before she teleports, she will still teleport in the general area of where she looked. But the accuracy is off. This could impact a fight, or even something as simple as avoiding teleporting right into a tree. Basically, without her telescopic vision it's just a general aim towards an area and the accuracy could impact the results.
LIMITATIONS:
Teleportation - She cannot teleport to the location pictured in a photo or painting. She has to see it with her own eyes. She can't teleport even to locations she's already been herself unless she is still seeing it with her own eyes. The further she teleports the more energy and concentration it takes. How many times in a day she can use it depends on the distance she travels each time in that day. POWER MIMICS MUST USE EXTREME CAUTION. She can bring small things with her in teleportation quite easily now, but it takes training. And teleporting a whole person takes an incredible amount of concentration. If one is not careful to concentrate everything on the task, the person they are teleporting could be injured. Or worse. Also, if it's any distance she's teleporting, she can't necessarily see exactly where she wants to teleport. She sees things in the distance, so when she teleports she will be teleporting to the general location. Any obstacles in the area aren't accounted for. This makes her telescopic vision invaluable.
Telescopic Vision - She can focus a little further if she wants to, but in one period she cannot unfocus after she's focused. If she zooms out it will be completely and she will see everything like anyone normally does. And she will have to zoom in all over again. If she uses the vision too long, it gives her a headache that will progressively get stronger and stronger if she continues using it. If she doesn't heed the headache, when she finally gets out of the telescopic vision state her vision will be blurred. The amount of blurring varies according to how long she used her powers.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Nosebleeds
Exhaustion with extra power use in a day without rest
Headaches
Teleportation has a physical energy drain as well as telescopic.
Trouble focusing her eyes if she uses her telescopic vision too much. Her vision blurs and while it will get better afterwards, the blurring in the moment will get worse the longer she has forced herself to use the power.
HEIGHT: 5'11
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown
EYE COLOR: Green but when she uses her telescopic vision, her irises turn red.
MISC: She has a small scar on her shoulder blade. She also has pierced ears. She for the most part dresses up rather than down, however she has her moments of dressy sort of casual too. She has a very orderly look about her for the most part unless she's working out in which case she can sometimes look like a sweaty mess just like everyone else.
Keeping herself looking orderly also involves some upkeep and so she does actually take care of herself. She keeps herself fit, and she eats healthy most of the time. As a result of that and genetics, Cassie is quite attractive. It helps that she has a 5'11" athlete's frame as well though. She's a comfortable 165lbs for the most part although that certainly does fluctuate as it does with any person. When she's being athletic, her hair is often tied up with an elastic. If she's not, it's generally around her wrist. One of her habits is fooling around with said elastic, whether it's in her hair or on her wrist.
PERSONALITY: Cassie can be aloof and snarky sometimes, but she can also have her friendly times. It all depends on her first impression and how she's feeling that day. also if her powers give her any impressions of someone that can also shape her view obviously. She can even be affectionate if someone's made the effort to break down her walls and get to know her. She hates people who are judgmental even though she herself is oftentimes the same. She also dislikes people who take too long saying something and/or getting to their primary point.
Cassie likes sports and athletics though, and working hard to achieve a goal. She doesn't mind studying either, although like anyone it isn't her favourite activity. She's good at her athletics and average at her schoolwork. The primary trouble she has is working as a team because she thinks that's a sign of being inadequate if you need someone else's help.
While standoffish, if someone bothers to get to know her she can be kind of affectionate. Of course, her affectionate might be a little like an older sibling sometimes but it's affection just the same.
SECRET(S): Deep down, Cassie fears failure as a result of her parents. Harshness from a person also doesn't help to bring them closer to her as she has a tendency to slap up a wall if she encounters such a person.
FATHER: Oliver Stryker
MOTHER: Jillian Banks
SIBLINGS: Jackson Stryker (half brother)
WORTHY MENTIONS: She knows Ryan Alexander dimly as their families traveled in the same circles. However the girls aren't THAT well acquainted with each other.
Also her stepmother Rosaline Stryker.
CHILDHOOD: She was born fairly normal, but her circumstances unfortunately weren't. Her father was a higher class guy. Her mother...well her mother Jillian wasn't. When she found out she was pregnant, she let Oliver Stryker know. He wasn't happy, but he wasn't going to let Jillian raise the child. They didn't marry and it was organized so that Cassie was acknowledged as a Stryker. Oliver did actually marry later on to a woman of the same class as him. Rosaline Stryker.
The whole family was aloof for the most part unless they were impressing upon each member the importance of success. Well that isn't quite true. They might've been friendlier had they spent more time with each other, but Oliver and Rosaline were busy, and so was Jackson. Cassie was sent to school alone. She was perfectly fine with striving for success on her own, but it didn't quite work out that way.
ADOLESCENCE: When Cassie was fifteen, she had her first boyfriend. They were just having fun as teenagers do. They were rough-housing. Harmless fun really. Or it would have been if Cassie hadn't been an awakening mutant. Her teleportation kicked into gear while she was touching her boyfriend. This first rearrangment of her molecules was more potent and she couldn't control it. While she can control it and could bring a person with her now if she concentrated, she couldn't back then. Her boyfriend lost the use of his legs as a result.
Soon after that she was transferred to Bellefonte. She was one to lay low in her years as a teenager. She trained hard because she couldn't see anything else to do. She could've probably excelled at a few extracurriculars, but she wanted no part of that. As she trained harder, her telescopic vision branched out into other abilities. The harder she worked the more her power was honed. That doesn't mean her powers are controlled by any stretch of the imagination though. In fact it means the opposite. They are extremely unstable because some of them haven't been with her all this time. She was all for going under the radar. She could succeed without people noticing her. And now that she was at a private boarding school, her family wasn't worrying as much about her success either. It helped that as she grew older they were more concerned with her brother.
ADULTHOOD: When she graduated, she was a year behind by her own choice. She felt she could do better with the provided curriculum than she had. Therefore she repeated to get a more satisfactory result. However by that time she still didn't have enough training controlling her very unpredictable powers to go into the world.
This was where college came in. And she might even try some extracurricular activities this time around because she feels she can study and compete and succeed at both. And so begins the college career of Cassie Stark, high achiever and seer.
