Name: Ana María Grisales
Codename(s): Lluvia
Affiliation: Mockant
Age: 17
Height: 5'11
Weight: 120 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Appearance: Tall, slim and with model looks, Ana María has been fed a careful diet all her life by her mother, who was a model herself for a long time. Though she is not actually overly concerned about her looks, she is used to watching what she eats and she also dresses fashionably, again thanks to her mother. Though her own tastes tend toward the more simple, her wardrobe was always filled with the latest fashions and periodically cleared out so that she would never be caught wearing anything from the year before. She wears her long, thick hair out, usually just brushing it and leaving it hanging loose.
Personality: Ana is cheerful, clever and easy to get along with. She generally sees the good in people, and is trusting enough that she could be called naive. Once she has gotten to know people, it is easy to get her to open up, and if she really likes a person she can become quite a chatterbox. When she gets caught up in a subject, her attention is hard to divert.
Powers and Abilities: [Note: These will be gained during the RP.] Ana has the power to manipulate liquids. She can change the viscosity and surface tension of liquids to mimic solids. It is easiest for her to perform these feats with pure water, and liquids with similar properties to water will be easier for her to manipulate. The practical result of this is that while she is only limited by amount and imagination with pure water or something similar, it's almost impossible for her to manipulate liquids like Mercury without great effort and even pain.
Ana can draw water molecules out of the air around her, but this takes effort and is limited by the local humidity.
Weaknesses: Ana has no experience fighting, and her powers do not actually lend her any extra physical endurance capabilities. If she has a liquid source around, she can shield herself from attacks, but deprive her of liquids and she is unable to defend herself any better than a normal human being.
Ana María dehydrates more easily than most people.
History: The daughter of a wealthy football player and his English trophy wife, Ana María was born and raised in Bogotá in her father's native Colombia. A happy and easygoing child, she was always given the best of everything, from the finest tutors to the best private security to keep her safe. With the frequency of kidnappings in the country, her parents did not allow her to go to school - she was taught from home and was only allowed to interact with the children of her parent's friends that came over for parties. An inquisitive girl, Ana was often found speaking to the various house staff, and did not have any issues with socialisation - in fact, she was considered more mature than many children her age by some of her tutors. Though she mainly spoke Spanish at home, she was tutored in English and through her occasional trips overseas with her parents, became fluent - though she still speaks with an accent and occasionally mixes up words. Despite being given everything, Ana did not turn out spoiled - she studied hard, behaved herself, and learned that she had a particular talent for the sciences, especially chemistry.
It was this talent that led her to the base on El Dorado. Her parents, proud of her success with her studies, wanted to send her to the best university to study under the best professors, but they did not feel that her home schooling would be impressive enough to gain her entrance. When they heard of a foreign scientist running a facility on an island off the northern coast, her parents got in contact with him and arranged for Ana to undertake an internship with him for several months, helped along by a generous donation to his work. The three of them inspected the facilities together and the Grisales were impressed by Mr Lensherr's demeanour and his easy willingness to show them the base.
A friendly female nurse on his staff helped them make the decision to leave their daughter in his hands over the summer, but they didn't expect that she'd be doing anything more than watching the experiments, helping with the research, gaining the sort of experience that would look good when she applied for the great universities that they wanted her to go to. Certainly didn't expect that she'd volunteer herself for a dangerous and potentially fatal procedure to gain mutant powers.
[I'd like to build beyond this within game.]
Sample post:
Padding out of her room, where she'd been going over the latest scientific journal that her mother had sent over to her - the woman could be a compete airhead at times, but at least she let Ana do what she enjoyed as long as she kept her appearance in check - the young woman went looking for Sylvia, the nurse who had been keeping her company and speaking to her about exactly what Mr Lensherr was doing here on El Dorado.
It was quite interesting, actually - she'd never met a mutant before, and the powers that Sylvia had demonstrated were amazing. Simple, but amazing - she could write with her mind, which made things much easier when you had to get a complex equation down onto paper. Especially if your pen stopped working.
What was much more amazing about the idea, though, was the proposal that Ana could have mutant powers of her own if she asked Mr Lensherr to go through a procedure with her that he'd been working on for months. Sylvia was honest - they'd lost people, it hadn't always gone perfectly, but the results that they had gotten were very encouraging and the powers that had developed were quite incredible to hear about.
She'd been thinking on it for some time, ever since she'd found out in more detail what the facility was doing, and she'd decided that having mutant powers of her own could be both useful and fun. Yes, Ana was young, and she was probably far too trusting - when Sylvia had told her that the statistics were encouraging, she hadn't needed proof. But she'd become enamoured with the idea of being able to do something special, something incredible.
Her father had always told her she was special. Now she actually could be.
If she could get Mr Lensherr to agree to it. And for that she needed Sylvia.
