(PS-This is Katie, Bobby's player)
Name: Jeanne-Marie Beaubier and Aurora
Codename(s): Aurora
Affiliation: None yet – The Brotherhood, sooner or later
Age: 20
Height: 5”11
Weight: 125 lbs.
Hair Color: Naturally black and silver; dyed black
Eye Color: Blue
Appearance:
Jeanne has a kind and innocent look to her; she has soft features, a round face, and clear blue eyes that pierce as if looking for the truth in everything and everyone. Her skin is fair, as she has spent much more time inside than out.
Though she is beautiful, she has been brought up to believe that to put emphasis on beauty is a sin. Jeanne wears her hair usually in a tight bun or ponytail. She has glasses that she wears when reading, and are usually slipped into the pocket of her blouse. Yep, blouse. The uniform of Madame DuPont's school is a white blouse and a gray, black, and dark blue plaid skirt that fell almost to the knees. Jeanne has worn such clothes with little variation for her whole life--never anything revealing.
Personality:
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier has two very distinct personalities, due to the dissociative identity disorder that she has—which is explained in her history.
Jeanne-Marie is a prim and proper Catholic girl who never breaks the rules. She is kind and gentle, but keeps to herself and is very quiet. She is embarrassed of her ‘outbursts’—the times when Aurora takes over—and has never told anyone of them, or her other personality. In fact, as of now she still refuses to believe that the dark side of her personality has truly formed it’s own persona.
Through her teen years, she was extremely nervous and introverted because of the strict life she had to live Madame DuPont’s, as well as the two severe punishments that she received while there (see history). Though she has become more calm over the years, she still keeps to herself and is rarely comfortable unless in a familiar place. She has never lived away from Madame DuPont’s, and never been outside of those prim and strict surroundings—and so has never opened up to anyone, or told anyone anything that would make her seem to be anything but a proper Catholic young woman.
Aurora is everything that Jeanne-Marie isn’t. She is a hellion out for maximum fun. She’s a tough young woman—she gives off a vibe as if she’s spent her life on the streets, though she’s lived, of course, the same life as Jeanne-Marie. Aurora is much less open about being one half of a split personality than Jeanne-Marie is; if ever asked about anything that would require her to acknowledge that she isn’t the only personality in the body, she dodges the question mercilessly.
As Jeanne is at times extremely reserved, Aurora is sometimes extremely wild in the sense that she can be extremely spontaneous (daredevil type thing) or very sultry and flirty. Usually she is all of these things in a less extreme dose.
Once Jeanne-Marie realizes and accepts that she has powers and another personality, Aurora will begin to struggle for control. She sees Jeanne as weak, and though she has no hard feelings toward her, she wants control of the body.
Powers and Abilities:
Aurora can control her own physical and emotional energy and the physical and emotional energy of others.
She can direct the kinetic energy in her molecules to propel herself through the air at superhuman speeds, both on the ground and in the air (yes, folks, she can fly).
She can manipulate minds to stimulate different sensations such as rage, hope, or serene calm. This is one power that she has possessed in small amounts for many years—she would invoke the wanted emotion without knowing it, and regarded it each as an odd occurrence or luck. This said, she cannot feel other's emotions all the time. She is very perceptive of voice and body movements in hinting what a person is feeling, but she only knows them of a surety when she supplies them with an emotion.
By this ability to control molecules and energy, she can produce a force against someone when she touches them, the momentum being anywhere from that of being shoved back a few feet to being thrown a good twenty feet.
(At some point, I hope to have her realize that she has/develop the power to accelerate molecule speed. To the extreme, this could be used to cause a person’s molecules to explode.)
***Let me clear this up:
Aurora will become the dominant persona after the Jeanne’s initial realization and acceptance of her other personality and her powers. Jeanne will still pop up sometimes when she is safe, and not needing to use her powers. Also after Jeanne accepts her split personality and powers, there won’t be a block between Aurora and Jeanne. Jeanne will be able to remember what she’s done as Aurora.
When she is Jeanne-Marie, use of her more…extreme powers will ‘wake’ Aurora—after using her powers, Aurora is the dominant persona for any amount of time, sometimes a few moments, sometimes days. So it is not that the Jeanne-Marie persona is powerless—she can use her powers, but once she does, Aurora becomes dominant. Even before using her powers, if in a dangerous situation, usually Aurora will take over.
If this is still confusing, ask me and I’ll be happy to figure something more out.***
Weaknesses:
It is dangerous for Aurora to alter her molecules, either to use her superspeed or ability to fly, when she is physically stressed (injured) or emotionally stressed. In this stake, she could easily accelerate her molecules to an unsafe rate and cause her own molecules to explode.
When she supplies someone with an emotion, some of what that person was naturally feeling will be put into her--kind of like a trade. If she is trying to cheer up someone who is sad, for instance, she will become just as sad for a short time.
During the time when Jeanne-Marie and Aurora exist separately in the body, unaware of what happens during the time the other is in control, both are unlikely to get to know anyone, even as a friend, because they forget that they even knew the person. When one personality takes over where the other has been, they are suddenly in a strange place with no idea how they got there or what their plans were. Jeanne-Marie will believe she is going insane.
There are times when Jeanne-Marie and Aurora fight for control of the body they coincide in. During these times, both minds are present, and the struggle not only drains the body physically, but could cause her to do something harmful to herself or others in the confusion.
Because of the second punishment Jeanne-Marie recieved at age thirteen (see history), Jeanne-Marie and Aurora both have a paralyzing fear of the dark, which literally keeps them from being able to think clearly enough to do anything but perhaps scream, cry, run, hyperventilate, etc.
History:
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier and her twin brother Jean-Paul were separated as infants when their parents died. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Martin, who were cousins of the twins’ mother, adopted Jean-Paul. The Martins could not afford to adopt Jeanne-Marie as well and arranged for Jeanne-Marie to be raised at Madame DuPont's School for Girls in LaVelle, Quebec, a religious boarding school. The Martins were killed in an accident several years later and Jean-Paul was placed in a foster home. Neither knew that they had ever had any siblings.
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier was miserable at Madame DuPont's School, with no friends and no family and no possible future other than becoming a nun. At thirteen, she attempted suicide by throwing herself from the roof of one of the school's buildings. Instead of falling to her death, Beaubier discovered that she could fly at great speed.
Unaware that she was a mutant, the deeply religious Beaubier believed that her flight was the result of a divine miracle. The next morning she explained to the school's strict headmistress, what had happened.
Believing the young girl to be guilty of blasphemy, the headmistress had Jeanne-Marie severely disciplined. She was told to place her hands flat on the desk, and both hands were then hit repeatedly with a nine inch brass crucifix. This stopped when, with a particularly hard hit, one of her fingers bent at an odd angle, the bone clearly broken. Her hands are still scarred, and though her finger was later set, it still has an odd angle to it. She was shoved repeatedly into a wall, her head rammed hard enough to produce massive bruising all across her forehead and the sides of her skull. She fell down when shoved and was kicked many times in the back and stomach. She was then choked until she passed out. When she woke up a day later, she was in the infirmary of the Academy.
This incident triggered a dissociative identity disorder in Jeanne-Marie. A second personality, extroverted and far more uninhibited, emerged. Under the influence of this second personality, Beaubier secretly left the school that same night. When she came back to the school three days later, she had no memory of where she had been or what she had done and she was again severely punished for running away, this punishment being along the same lines as the first, but this time her nose was broken from being hit repeatedly in the face with a brass crucifix. This time, when she woke up, nothing had been done to nurse her back to health. She was locked in a closet, in the pitch-black dark, for almost a day, before she was let out and taken to the infirmary.
The resulting trauma was so great that she repressed her second persona, which she saw as bringing her trouble and pain.
During the next couple of years, Jeanne-Marie became a prim and proper young woman. She adjusted to life at the school. Seven years after she realized she could fly, on the same night that her application to become a teacher at the Academy was accepted, her second, more daring personality re-emerged. She left the quiet town for a night on the town in Montreal. Confronted by muggers, she knocked them unconscious by moving at superhuman speed. This was the first time that she had used her powers in those seven years.
((The rest of this is made-up by moi, in order to fit the rp))
Knowing she couldn’t return to the Academy with her darker personality coming through at times, Jeanne-Marie was at a loss for what to do or where to go. She saw a flyer on a streetlamp around midnight, for a ‘Mutants of Montreal’ gathering. ‘NO HUMANS ALLOWED!’ was at the bottom. She went to the meeting place and found that they were still gathered there—they being a large congregation of mutants, ranging in apparent normalcy from human-looking beings in dark colors, some with tattoos and piercings…To various colors, sizes, and oddities of various types. She was afraid to talk to anyone there, and left after only a few minutes. But while there, she found a card on the floor which read, ‘Magneto’s gone. His dream remains. The Brotherhood. Take back what’s yours’. There was a voice mail number on the back, which she called.
((And that’d be where it’d start up))
Sample post:
Jeanne-Marie Beaubier sat in a cramped motel room in Montreal, holding the phone in one shaking hand. In the other, she held the card she’d found not an hour before, on the dirty floor of a decrepit old church where a ‘Mutants of Montreal’ meeting had been held. It read, ‘Magneto’s gone. His dream remains. The Brotherhood. Take back what’s yours.’
This would be the first time in her entire life that she’d slept anywhere outside of Madame DuPont’s School for Girls. That alone was terrifying. On top of that, she didn’t have enough money for a second night, even in the cheap motel. It had taken almost all of her money to get a room for one night. She didn’t know why she’d gone to Montreal, and now that she’d surely ruined her chances of teaching at Madame DuPont’s, she had no place else to go.
Her dire circumstance was the only thing that had made her even consider calling the number on the back of the card. She didn’t know who Magneto was, or what his dream had even been. But she’d heard enough in her few minutes at the meeting to know that he had been fighting for mutants. She’d found out that many regular humans were persecuting mutants—and though she didn’t want to believe that she was a mutant (she’d been taught all her life that to have mutant abilities was an evil sent from Satan), many had said that The Brotherhood was the group where mutants were sure to be left unbothered. Perhaps they would take her in.
Her hand trembling, Jeanne-Marie dialed the number slowly. It was a voice mailbox, after all. She could just listen to the message and hopefully gather some information as to what The Brotherhood was, and then hang up. Maybe. She nearly hung up as soon as she heard it ring, but she focused on the thought that she had nowhere to sleep tomorrow night and stayed on the phone.
She never heard the message, though. She didn’t hear or see or experience anything for many days, at least. But a message was left on the voice mailbox that she called, in a French-accented voice that exactly matched her own, though there was a silky self-confidence that she had never possessed.
“My name ees Aurora. I found a card with this number on it at a mutant’s meeting, and I am very interested in your organization. I think you will find that I could contribute a lot to your cause. Please call me back as soon as possible—I do not know ‘ow long I will be available. My number is 614-555-0277. If I do not answer, I will contact you again whenevair I can.”
((I toyed with the idea of typing how she’d speak with the French accent, but it’s too much. So know that things with ‘I’, such as ‘is’ or ‘will’ would be ‘ees’ and ‘weell’. Also, words like ‘number’ would be ‘numbair’. So above, ‘interested’ would be ‘eentairested’. See why I’m not typing it like that? Lol. I am going to type the way the French do not pronounce h – like in ‘how’, above. I may type the ‘ees’ and ‘air’ stuff at times, as long as it’s not too confusing to read.))
