★ TLDR

[tactam]

★ FIRST IMPRESSIONS

★ VISUALS. 5'1, slight, brown eyes and straight, waist length red hair. Eirenne has a harder expression to her, a little sulky, closed off body language. She often wears minimal clothing to keep layers off her, short skirts and a light blouse or shorts and a tee.
★ VOICE. Mousier and soft tones, a British accent that's non-distinct.
★ SMELL.
★ DEMEANOUR. Eirenne comes off a little aggressive initially, defensive to a fault, though it's a tactic to try and keep people away from her. Underneath she's incredibly uncertain and afraid, struggling in the world that she's in and not wanting anyone to know.
★ OTHER.

★ QUICK NOTES

★ born in dystopian American
★ bioengineered in a lab, doesn't know her birthday
★ had never seen the world outside until she was 22
★ has mild anthropophobia due to the side effects of her abilities

★ dreams of living by a lake, alone, in a wooded area
★ is very naive about the world due to how she was "raised", including socially unaware, often blunt or completely oblivious
★ may likely give a fake name on first meeting someone (Lily)
★ is trying to find a place in the world after being 'rescued' from the facility

★ PERSONALITY

★ naive
★ curious
★ shy

★ ABILITIES

★ TACTILE TELEKINESIS is the ability to manipulate matter through tactile interactions. Eirenne has spent many years training and growing this ability and is able to move and manipulate objects that she comes into contact with, though only whilst she is in contact with some part of them. Eirenne can also use herself as a focus of her power, allowing her to levitate, create a telekinetic force-field (roughly 3m radius) or if she physically connects (punches/kicks) something she can amplify the force behind the impact. With focus, she can manipulate the physics of an object she touches by affecting the molecular vibrations of it to change its shape, break it or impact upon it, though this can be quite draining on her. She is also able to create a telekinetic shockwave (a pressurised force) radiating out of what she is touching (or herself).
★ FLAW in Eirenne's world, due to the imperfect science behind engineering powers, there are always downsides to every ability and Eirenne's is touch: the feel of anything touching her skin she is acutely aware of, from a sharper graze to intense pain. Touch and physical contact often overwhelm her senses, the greater the effect dependent on the force, feel and emotion. Eirenne has never learned how to stop her senses from overwhelming her, to keep touch manageable or pleasurable rather than simply being overwhelming and painful.
★ COMBAT being trained as a fighter, Eirenne was also trained in physical combat as well was with her power. She will punch or kick more frequently, having a very untrained style, using her power to aide her where she lacks physical strength.

★ WORLD INFORMATION

In the late 21st century the world seemed perfect -- job satisfaction was at a high, technology and industry had boomed and whatever you want was simply there. Artificial intelligence controlled much of day-to-day life, virtual reality allowed you to be or see anywhere without having to travel, it seemed bliss. In writing. With so many possibilities and very little actualities people became bored. AI to talk to? Not enough. Being inside your show and experiencing it as you watched it? So five years ago. Jerico Tech, one of the largest industries conducted research and discovered that what people actually wanted was simplicity: human contact, human emotion, human need.

Over time the androids that ran life became more human-like in nature to try to fill these needs but it still wasn't human enough, it wasn't realistic. People themselves ended up trying to fix the problem instead of relying on corporations, starting fight clubs that became so popular that corporations took over. Televised fights surged, volunteers signing up even with little training to fight for glory (or death), solving the problem.

For a while, anyway. Amateurs weren't enough so people trained to be part of these shows, to make them more violent, more entertaining, and often bloodier, but simple human fights were too human. Jerico Tech was the first to offer a solution: altering the genome to create people that were better, stronger, and faster, they could hit harder and complete feats unknown. Though the details weren't released to the public the labs that conducted this research and engineering bred the people involved, an accelerated gestation and early years period to enable quicker results. They were still very much human, growing, learning, and training to fight from a young age and it was more exciting. But Jerico Tech knew that it wouldn't last and once they'd taken the lid off the experimentation cap they wanted to see what else they could do, what other improvements they could make. They eventually manipulated the genome enough that the abilities of these fighters weren't just peak human capabilities but had additional traits -- powers. It was spontaneous, triggering between the ages of 6 and 10, unknown what exactly these powers would be until they were first seen.

However, when the first batch of these fighters was discovered, leaks coming from within the labs, the public was outraged. Some still consumed the media, uncaring, only wishing to be entertained but protests began outside of Jerico HQ, at first peaceful but quickly escalating. In 2147 the first bomb was dropped on Jerico HQ, however, that building was only an administrative front, and the research was conducted in underground facilities along with all test subjects. The protesting continued still, more buildings were blown up and the world started to take more notice of the destruction happening across both large cities and smaller towns, anywhere where Jerico is suspected to have holdings. It's 2148 now and the world is a vastly different place after large-scale destruction and an inability for governments to prevent it.
