AYANE, LILY, SOMERFIELD
23//FEMALE//BISEXUAL//SENTIENT PSYCHIC ARMOUR//STAFF//ADELAIDE KANE
POWER INFO:Psionic armour -
Ayane's gift is a powerful manifestation of her psionic energy as a construct which manifests in various ways, most potently in 3 stages. This gift takes the shape of Samurai Armour in stages due to this being the most prominent factor in her sub-conscious mind. Similarly, her mother was a surgeon, so her power manifested in the form of surgical implements.

Each stage of manifestation is easier for Ayane to activate in order as it is giving in to her subconscious desires more and more, giving them a higher degree of control over her actions. The manifestation is displayed through 3 stages of glowing purple psionic energy in the shape of Armour.

Her Armour, even when unmanifested is part of her Psyche and contributes to her iron will power, making it extremely difficult for Telepath's and mind effecting powers to effect her, as if a static wall is blocking them. This is most potent in her 3rd manifestation.

Stage 1: In the first stage of the manifestation, Ayane becomes shrouded in a purple cloak everywhere around her body, mimicking her body but extending out in a purple aura, this adds about 1 inch to her height and and provides her with increased strength, reflexes, and striking force. It does provide her with a little more durability, however only enough to block bare punches, anyone with a high level of strength or weapon could get through with relative ease. Ayane can remain in this state easily for around 1.5 hours, it doesn't tire her much at all,Her mind does strain under this though. which usually gives her a headache after an hour or so. This Armour can crack, but not shatter.

Stage 2: in the second stage of the armour's manifestation Ayane becomes shrouded in a similar aura, except this time it's much thicker and appears to be covered in some form of traditional Japanese kimono. She also gains 3 inches in height, and also appears with a Katana made of the same psionic energy, the blade is roughly the strength of diamond but is only sharp when Ayane wishes it to be. her mind is under even more strain in this state and Aya can maintain this for a maximum of an hour. If she pushes it, usually though she will break this off at 40 minutes as she will start to get a headache. This form has even faster reflexes and actually gains a high degree of protection, able to withstand anything short of a mid to high calibur bullet, several mid calibur bullets or very high super strength could crack the Armour, repeated blows can cause it to shatter.

Stage 3: In the final stage of her manifestation Ayane gains 7 inches in height, her subconscious gains a much higher level direct influence on her actions, for example if she's trying to suppress or ignore anger at something, she might snap. In this stage Ayane gains a shroud in the shape of traditional Japanese Armour. she also gains a naginata, a bow strapped to the back of the constructed psionic Armour which generates arrows of psionic energy and the katana still strapped to her side, although it is much less effective in this form due to it's sheer bulk. This form is much stronger, able to lift medium sized cars, however it is also slowed due to it's bulk and the reflexes are also reduced to below her human state, she also gains protection from anything short of powerful explosives or the highest calibur of bullets. This also provides her some minor protection from energy based attacks and seals her off from environmental effects on her body. She can maintain this form for about 25-40 minutes depending on how much she utilises the weaponry and how much damage she takes, at which point, depending on how much she utlised it, either the static will come to an abrupt halt and the form will shatter, or she will faint.

Secondary mutation: Segments- Ayane in recent years, has learned the ability to summon individual segments of her manifestation. At first she could only summon the katana, then segments of Armour, and now the Nag, but she still has not managed to fully manifest the bow, with more practice she should be able to. She can also adjust their size with concentration.

She can usually maintain each segment for around 40 minutes, and can have up to 2 out and once. Also, nobody else can touch or hold a segment without her permission. These are also much less tiresome than the main manifestations, she can use these multiple times a day with relative ease.

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Ayane is a fairly athletic looking woman, who stands at about 5'8, with pretty hazel eyes, with long sleek, straight black hair which she either wears completely loose, or tied up into one neat pony tail. She wears a mixture of clothing depending on what she is doing. She can wear dresses, although she doesn't own a huge amount of variety with that, she mainly wears jeans and professional looking trousers or blouses, with a long black trench-coat. She's used to dressing professionally from her time as a detective. She also occasionally wears gym clothing for when she's working out or training people.

Her body language carries with it an elegant professionalism, she knows what she's doing and her body movements help to convey this.
MUST HAVE APPAREL: A Japanese Good luck charm which she was given by her grandfather a long time ago.
PERSONALITY:Ayane has an extremely strong willed personality, never compromising on her belief's simply because someone is persistent in challenging them, this does not mean she is arrogant however, she will challenge her beliefs occasionally, but only for her own reasons, not anyone else s. She has an Iron will, strong wit and has some minor issues with how people treat others whom they think have disorders due to her past.

Ayane is incredibly and fiercely loyal to any person who she believes to be her friend.

Ayane is very centered around principles of equality, she believes that everybody deserves a chance. However she is under no illusions, if after intervention an individual breaks rules which are put in place to protect them and others, they are probably not going to change and need to be dealt with situation-ally. She also hates Sexism.

CHILDHOOD: Ayane was born a 3rd generation American-Japanese child, with her bloodline being 1 quarter Japanese, coming down from her Grandfather Tayako, who had the privilege of naming her. She was raised by her mother and father in a comforting home up until around the age of 7, upon which they both died in an unfortunate car accident.

Up until this point she had pretty much just done usual kid stuff, with an emphasis on martial arts hobbies which she thought were a splash of fun. Around this point, her grandfather took her in being her only biological guardian. She needed something to focus on other than crying over her lost parents, and so turned to martial arts, now taking them much more seriously.
ADOLESCENCE: throughout her early adolescence, her grandfather taught her the values of old Japanese Bushido, as well as tutoring her in some of the martial arts he knew (He was an advanced instructor) Which included Aikido, Judo and some Kobudo, which she allowed to take up most of her free time.

She quickly matured through ranks of her martial arts, even picking up some mixed martial arts from other tutors, however around 13 is where she hit a speed bump. She began to suffer powerful headaches, her grandfather didn't know what to think of this at first, but then remembered that her mother's 'gift' had caused her similar side effects.

Around the age of 14, it became worse and she was taken in to be tested, but upon being taken for tests which she refused to follow as some of them involved needles and she was becoming paranoid from lack of sleep, she accidentally activated her mutation and burst out of the small clinic, returning home.

It was Shortly after this that the Bellefonte Academy found and contacted them, explaining what had happened to her and her grandfather. Although she didn't believe them, her grandfather did, claiming that he had always known that she was "Special" and had a "Destiny" ahead of her.

She of course, thought it was a load of bull to comfort her. But it worked to an extent, and him moving from Chicago to live in Montana with her while she attended the academy certainly made matters easier. Throughout the next 4 years, she got a much better degree of control over her mutation and continued to improved with her martial arts.

ADULTHOOD: At the age of 18, she graduated from the academy and returned to Chicago, joining the police force and quickly impressing her superiors, as well as learning to become independent from the support she was used to. shortly before her 22nd, she was promoted to detective and worked cases for the Chicago PD for the remainder of her time in Chicago.

Around 22, her secondary mutation manifested, and although it was not as tricky or confusing as her previous manifestations had been, she was still nervous about it. Conveniently, the academy contacted her about a potential job offer just before she was 23, where she would work as a member of the security force for the academy and also would teach students who were interested self defense martial arts. She accepted and now lives the academy again, with a much more independent and mature role than before.
