[ooc: It should be noted that I know next-to-nothing about any of the characters or fandoms going on here... I'm just here because Rahne talked me into it, and to give one of my OCs a test run. So forgive me if I mess anything up, because I am entirely clueless when it comes to the superhero genre]
Take Control...
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CITY[/i][/color][/center]
Full Name: Stephanie Lynton
Nicknames: Steph
Gender: F
Age: 17
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Location: Gotham
Origin: OC
Play-By:Felicia Day
Height: 5’1”
Hair: Seems almost two-colour; it starts brown at the crown of her head, but becomes ginger further from its roots. She wears it tied back in a short ponytail.
Eyes: a greyish-brown sort of shade
Typical Clothing/Uniform: Stephanie’s typical outfit consists of a grey, short-sleeved dress shirt, lime green tie worn properly, dark jeans and white trainers. Others might think her odd for her choice here, but Steph likes the way they make her stand out as unique without having to look like an idiot.
Powers/Abilities: Nothing in the way of superpowers; however she is the kind of person who generally can take care of herself regardless.
Team Affiliation: N/A
Personality: Stephanie carries herself with a sassy, sarcastic, no-nonsense manner, giving the impression that she’s not someone to get on the wrong side of. She’s not mean about it, at least not intentionally, although she can come off a bit overbearing or rude at times. Generally, though, if you’re not an idiot, purposefully irritating or overly friendly, she’ll be fine with you. She doesn’t bond easily with other people, either – there’s no clear-cut reason for this in her past or anything; Stephanie carries herself with confidence, and has just grown over time to see herself as different – separate – from other people somehow, and though she will let a few people get close to her, the feeling of being separate is one she likes.
It should be noted that Steph isn’t the most reliable or trustworthy person ever. To call her a liar would be going a bit too far, but she does seem to abide by her own rules in such matters as telling the full truth or keeping her word which, while she doesn’t necessarily see it as wrong, can lead to strained relationships with others.
Family: Joy Lynton (mother), Steve Lynton (father, deceased), Mike and Sharalyn Waters (grandparents), Amber (dog)
Marital status: Single
History: Confusion shroud’s the early years of Stephanie’s life. When asked about them, she will prove most evasive; but what is known is that, sometime within the earliest years of her life, her father ended up being accidentally shot dead by her mother. Afraid of being arrested for murder, Joy panicked and fled, taking her young daughter and roaming the country, paranoia driving her to keep moving, never staying in one place for too long. Needless to say, after a few years of this had passed, young Stephanie – now old enough to understand the basics of why her mother constantly relocated them – grew fed up with this lifestyle, eventually demanding of her mother that they settle. Reluctant, but accepting that it was in her daughter’s best interests, Joy finally settled with her own parents in Gotham, and eight-year-old Steph had her first experience of a stable life (in spite of the city's reputation), which she quickly adjusted to – although never really made many close friends, her nature tending to drive people away from her.
Nine years on, Steph is still living in the city with her mother and grandparents, and attends the local high school. It should be noted that she doesn’t believe that the ‘super-heroes’ and -villains she’s heard rumours of really exist; this isn’t to say that she doesn’t believe in supernatural occurrences on some level, she simply doesn’t accept the concept of ordinary people wielding such superhuman abilities.
Sample Post: Since I know so little about the background here, anything I could write would have no context, so I’ll give it a miss XP
