Blake Harlow

[Blake Harlow]

NAME: Blake, Cecil, Harlow
NICKNAME: Blakey (when she is not sober)
AGE: 28
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Pansexual
POSITION: Trainer & Recruiter
FACE CLAIM: Kate Beckinsale

POWER: Power Mimicry & Sensing
When Blake’s abilities kicked in, it allowed her mimic their abilities. Just by observing an ability, she is ably to copy it and use it to her benefit. The amount of time she can copy and use the ability is based upon not only how well rested she is, but also the understanding of the ability itself. So if she understands the inner workings and control needed to say manipulate fire, then she is able to use that ability longer. She can only copy one person’s abilities at a time, but can switch from copying one mutant’s ability one moment and using another’s ability the next.

The other part of Blake’s power came in later thanks to training at the school, allowing her to sense other mutants like herself. Said years of training at the school also allowed her to even able to identify what the abilities are. Her ability of being able to identify the power goes a little deeper in where by seeing the power and then using it herself it helps her gain a better understanding of how the power works on different levels. This pays off in the long run because the better her understanding of an ability, the longer she can use it, and have improved control of said ability.

Limitations & Side-Effects:

-When she copies a mutant’s ability, she gains all of the limitations and side-effects that they would have. Using another’s ability allows her to be evenly matched with them in terms of power, but the more she uses it the better understanding; which gives off the appearance that she is stronger, but can never be stronger in terms of the ability power level of the mutants power she is using.

-She can only copy a mutant’s power and use it for a certain amount of time; even with a great understanding of an ability she only improves the amount of time of use, but can’t use it forever.

-She is unable to copy powers involving power suppression or negation.

-Her sensing ability of her power is a passive one that is always on and allowing her to feel others around her with powers, this gives her headaches a lot and sometimes migraines.

-She can only sense people within and up to a 40 foot radius of her.


APPEARANCE SECTION: Having a high metabolism and a fit body that pretty much reveals that you could handle your own at least well enough in a fight, would be how someone would describe Blake’s overall physique. Not to forget having curves in all the right places. Blake is pretty attractive so she hears and thinks as well, but she is not vane about it and only points it out if her looks have been insulted in some way. She is not super tall; standing at five foot seven, but only sees herself as not as tall since her older brothers are all close to six foot. She has long naturally brown hair that goes past her shoulders that naturally curls a little towards the ends. She regularly dies in light blonde streaks into her hair in order to keep it not just plain old simple brown.

Blake does in fact have brown eyes but in certain lighting they appear to be hazel do to their light brown characteristics and iris design. For the most part she has smooth and clear skin with the occasional breakouts due certain reactions she gets from mimicking others powers. She walks with good posture; especially in heels, but walks as if she is in no hurry to get to where she is going. When she is sitting however it’s very much leaned back in a chair, slightly slouched in some manner and legs apart unless she is wearing a dress and is in a public environment. She tends to mostly just put on light eye makeup and the occasional light pink lipstick.

MUST HAVE APPAREL: Despite being a super tomboy growing up, with age she adapted to wearing much more feminism things to better complement her figure. She still wears the typical standard for tomboys more often since it is what she is used to. So typically jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers varying in brands and colors so long as it’s not yellow because she hates that color. From time to time or for special occasions she will wear dresses, heels, skirts, and lose fitting shirts. She is not really picky even so long as they are again not yellow, and wears a verity of tight to really loose clothing. She is more often to wear lose clothing that is breathable since she likes to ‘have room’ to move in what she is wearing.

If she is doing her job as a recruiter and going out to collect students then she is always wearing a black suit and tie. She likes to think of it as being sort of like ‘The Men in Black’ and even wears the black shades to complete the look. When she is doing her main job as a trainer she wears the uniform that all the trainers have. She really does not like it do to the color yellow on it, but she is working on getting one that is mostly black and maybe having just small lines of yellow. Something that she always has on is one of her six stainless steel dog tags. She is always wearing at least one of them around her neck and tends to have the others stored somewhere on her person or close by so she can switch out at any time she feels like it. She has a wolf, dragon, lion, scorpion, yen and yang symbol, and one that she is not really sure what it looks like. Here.

PERSONALITY SECTION: If you know Blake and you hear her name, the first image that is likely to pop into your head is her eating some kind of candy. She had a very large sweet tooth ever since the day she got her hands on some of its delicious sugary combinations, thankfully she still has pearly white teeth and has yet to get a cavity. Oddly enough even with all the sugar she intakes she is not really effect by it or caffeine and for the most part is her same old ‘lazy; self. All-time favorite treat would be a milkshake, so it’s basically set in stone that she has at least one a day. Part of why she might not as hyper as she should be with all that sugar and sweets is because she does a lot of tree climbing; love to be up in the high branches. When the weather permits she loves pretty much all actives that deal wither water or snow, so she enjoys things from swimming to snowboarding, or even just sitting by a lake or watching snow fall.

Blake however does have sort of a lazy side in where she likes to do a lot of ‘lounging’ around when she does not need to do anything important. Tending to leans back or flat out lay down and relax. She does enjoy both her jobs however and even if while training she may appear laid back; depending on the person’s power, she is very alert. Watching and making sure that nothing is going to go wrong and if it is then she figures out how she can stop it. For her recruiter job she pretty much goes cold and just simple down to the facts, mostly just wanting to get the kid packed up, and back to the academy. While training, she take on a different ‘personality’ depending on the student, their power, and what method would work best to get them improve. So she could go from super nice and nurturing to cold-hearted and stern. The only thing she won’t do is yell unless she absolutely needs to, but she does not really like yelling, being yelled at, or even hearing yelling period.

On the list of Blake’s dislikes she does not like babies, at all. Toddlers she might tolerate if they are in the later stages of being a toddlers but she can’t stand baby drool, poopy dippers, and having to get up in the middle of the night. Way too much work so she does not really plan on having kids any time soon and if she does, mostly they will be adopted to skip that whole baby phase. Graveyards are a no-go for Blake; you will never see her near one unless she is there against her will. She had a huge fear of them as a location and not really what is in them. Dead bodies, bones, the undead; sure she is fine with them, but put her in a graveyard even with cute little rabbits and cotton candy and she will not want to be there, day or night. She is a clean person so expect her home to be organized and clean, just having a tad case of mild O.C.D.

EXTRA QUIRK: A few quirks that Blake has it that she carries all six of her dog tags around with her at all times, or at least in the same area she is in so she can get to them. She is always wearing at least one of them and switches them out depending on the mood she is in or how she is thinking at that moment in time since she had picked which each of the dog tags symbols. She pretty much loves things with cherry flavor and it ends up as her most common candy flavor choice. Another small thing that goes along with her little bit of OCD is when she walks into a room she tends to run her finger over a surface to see how dusty it is.

WORTHY MENTIONS: Guy LeGrange ~Head Trainer~


CHILDHOOD: Carson and Belle Harlow had a nice little home deep in the lands of Nevada, living it up a little more so on what some people might call ‘roughing it’. The lived off of the land from growing their own food and raising chickens, pigs, goats, and did a lot of hunting to fill there meat lovers side. They had a modest home, crowded and felt small even before the kids and dogs soon started to pop up in the house. The first being Rick and from that point on Carson and Belle planned on having all their kids name rhyme with one another. They bought Outlaw a Kangal dog to be a playmate for Rick but soon Vick was on the way. Having two boys in a row they were pretty much told by their family doctor that they had to be very careful because Belle was very fertile and it seemed as if Carson was going to end up having all sons every time they would have a child. Once they got their second dog Gator; and English Mastiff, they planned on being done.

Yet they were not careful another and Jake was on the way, changing up the whole naming scheme before of a popular singer that was in their area. They were one hundred percent done they told themselves once they got yet another dog by the name of EllieMay who was a Cane Corso. A house full of three big dogs and three growing boys you could imagine the shock when Belle was on the way with her next child; well not too much shock honestly, the real shock was that their baby boy Blake turned out to be a girl. Having pretty much all the hand-me down from her brother, Blake pretty much grew up as a super tomboy, often confused as a boy until her hair started to grow out a little more. Having three older brothers Blake never worried about having to be picked on anywhere at home; but all the late night wrestling and fighting toughened her up, as did having three large dogs to take care of.

Blake was able to be a bit of a girl when she made friends with one of the neighbors that lived down the road that had a little girl around Blake’s age and a lot more money. Blake and the girl quickly bonded and the other girl would even let Blake keep some of her more girly clothing. At times however Blake felt the relationship between her and her friend was weird from time to time. Ever since that day that she had saved her friend from drowning the girl got a little more on the clingy side and less sharing with her more so girl clothing, saying that she liked the way Blake dressed in her brothers hand-me downs. Blake didn’t think too much of it because they were just kids and so long as she was having fun it didn’t matter to her.

ADOLESCENCE: Even with living in the crowded home, the hand-me downs, living off the land, home school, and the slightly odd relationship between her friend, since the age of ten. Only one year and a few months after having a pretty much content life and good friend, Blake came into her power. She didn’t really know it at first but one day while she was out playing with her older brothers. Later on that day after the sun had gone down her friend had invited her out to show her something. Her friend could create fire and it was a mix of fear and amazement that came from Blake. Wondering if she could do it as well she tried and was successful at creating a fire, but burned her hands a little in the process and ended up starting a fire in the abandoned building her friend had chosen as their location to show off her power.

Both girls were able to get away from the fire in time as it spread and consumed the abandoned building and were never caught for such an act. However, where Blake decided to keep a secret what she could do; her friend was practically talking about it to everyone in the area. Most didn’t really buy it until more building fires were caused and her friend was saying she was the one doing them, but just never showed anyone what she could do and that Blake had the same power as her. That had gone on about a week before whispers about Blake and her friend being witch and Blake herself could not really say it was not true since she thought she was one too. While being basically asked if she really could control fire and helped her friend burn down the buildings there was a knock at the door. A person had come to take Blake away and there was not option. She never did find out what her parents were told, only knowing that she packed what little was actually hers and got into the car, her friend in there as well.

Being taken to Bellefonte was like having gone to heaven with actually being able to have her own room and actually being able to go to school with other kids. There she learned that she was no witch buy a mutant with the ability to mimic others powers. She was not genius but she did well enough in school to pass and was happy to have gained more knowledge then she knew she would ever get back at him. Being trained in her ability and gaining more control over the powers she mimicked, how long she could use them, and how far a mutant could be from her in for her to tap into their powers. It was also during this time that learned to sense others people’s powers, which with more training enabled her to pick which powers to use. She also got good at being able to not only sense other mutants but also what powers they hands, helping her to pick between what powers she actually wanted to use. She enjoyed everything about Bellefonte and made a few friends along the way which caused a rift between her and her old friend from home when they did actually try dating but jealousy was a big issue and Blake was still more so in her trying to figure everything out and just trying to experience everything she could as a teenager.

ADULTHOOD: On the day of graduation she had been asked to help the school out by becoming a recruiter and a trainer, but she said no. She wanted to be at least twenty-one so she could drink before she took on such a job. She did a bit of exploring and working a few small jobs here and there, not really going too far from the academy and never returning back home. Nor did she seek out to find out where her ‘friend’ from back home had gone off to. Eventually being convinced to at least be a recruiter, so she took the job up at the age of nineteen and did not regret it since she got to travel around the United States, using her power to pick up when a kid would come into their power and would go to collect them. She continued to do that and even enjoyed swooping in to get kids out of there especially when they had a ‘flashy’ power.

As promised she did take up the job of being a trainer once she turned twenty-one but made sure to keep her old job as a recruiter. Granted she did not get to go out as much as she used to, but any time spent not on a training schedule was spent going off and collecting kids. A taxing two job that made her grow a bit lazy from time to time but she enjoyed both of them and despite not looking like it she put forth the effort. Originally she stayed in an apartment in town but she was always in and out when she would get busy, so recently decided to move onto campus. Now having less of a distance to travel for her training job she is able to take on more students and able to keep up with the latest events and gossip going on at the school; enjoying it a little. Helping several students gain control over their powers as well as bringing in at least twenty students to the school in her time, possible more since she lost track and if people didn’t keep in contact then she forgot about them.

She did end up taking a break from the training job when she turned twenty-six to again focus more so on the recruiting aspect of her job. Blake even had to travel to the other mutant schools in order to help them out locating down students to bring to their academy. She didn’t complain at all, because again she was getting to travel the world and learn different things in the different parts of the world. Not to forget that she also picked up and saw other cool powers mutants had at the other schools. Still, Bellefonte was her home so after two years of being away from the school she returned back as the rumors about SPECTRE where picking up and talks about mutants among certain groups of people. Her current focus being to get all moved in and getting back to her training job to help students better understand and control their powers.
