[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE

[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]HAIR // black[break]EYES // dark brown[break]SKIN // black[break][break]ATTIRE[break][break]Evie is definitively trendy, maybe even a little edgy. She occasionally likes to turn a few heads with some outrageously expensive haute-couture shoes but tends to hang out in more casual looks to avoid unwanted attention. Quality is of the utmost importance. For jobs that encourage black clothes and don't mind gaudiness, she leans into it, going full La Femme Nikita -- shiny latex pants, sleeveless turtleneck, thick combat heels (somewhat practical for running yet still aiding her long silhouette). She understands there is value in blending in but there's no harm in having a little fun, right?

[break][break]GENERAL[break][break]Evie is a tall woman, standing at 5'10". Her natural hair is quite short, only being a few inches in length. She wears wigs 99% of the time, usually long, straight, and black to mimic reality had she ever had the patience to grow her hair out and get it done. She's skinny and likes it that way, whether or not it's for her own benefit. Her eyes are dark, her lips are dark, her skin is dark. People often comment about how white her eyes and teeth look in comparison. Evie plays this up by highlighting her cheeks and darkening her eyebrows[break][break]



Evie enjoys makeup. She is an artist after all and the idea of using her face as a canvas drew her to makeup to begin with. Her specialty was bold looks -- her use of color was always one of her strongest attributes. Color was a game to Evie -- how could she make seemingly disparate colors seem like they were made for each other? Her makeup tended towards chaos in color yet restrained in execution. Often it isn't until deep inspection does one notice the care that Evie has put into her look, always done lovingly by hand.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]A rebel at heart, Evie does not automatically accept the power of "authority" -- she needs to be convinced to follow someone wholeheartedly. Really, the only person Evie will always serve is herself and she has fought to get there. Yet despite her inherent desire to shake things up just for the sake of it, Evie just wants to be liked. She won't bend herself backwards trying to make it happen but she'll try, at least at first, especially if she wants to fuck you. To these ends, Evie will sometimes play characters to get what she wants. It works as often as it doesn't. It's not always easy for Evie to hide her true feelings -- easily upset, stubborn, and prone to absent-mindedness, she's the most discrete.

Partying is one of Evie's preferred pastimes. She started drinking and smoking weed during her first year of high school and hasn't quite stopped since then. She loves to dance and make out with random hotties. Evie is here for a good time, not a long time. She sees that the world is shit and plans to have fun despite it all. Really, that's her ultimate goal: to have fun. She makes art that moves her and that she hopes will move other people because she finds it fun. She dresses up in funky outfits because she thinks it's fun. Evie will do a lot of things for the sake of entertainment.

Evie likes to feel powerful -- it's why she's rebellious. Who is anyone to tell Evie what to do? Sure, she'll listen to you but you have to earn the right, first. She's not one to take advantage of the less powerful but she will walk all over you if given the opportunity and a compelling reason to.[break][break]

Her biggest fear is being powerless. Maybe that's why she gets off on occasional BDSM -- being tied up isn't so bad when you have a safe word and someone you relatively trust.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]HISTORY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]Evie was living in Oakland, California, where she'd been her entire life, when The Event happened. She was having her first gallery opening, entitled "(L/M)OVE" where she created pieces that were in constant motion and somehow depicted an aspect of love. In one of the rooms, she hung and tied knots in the hair from one of her girlfriends -- long and blonde -- in such a way that when looked at from a very specific angle, depicted what Evie thought to be a recreation of said girlfriend's vulva. It was a huge success. However, The Event went completely unnoticed to her till the next year when the Federal Hero Program was announced. Evan, Evie's older brother, was invited to the program after a video of him kicking a soccer ball so hard it ripped through the net went viral. They soon discovered he had super strength.

[break][break]

After a few weeks, Evan's family was invited to watch him train at the FHP facility -- Evan would do some simple exercises to display just how strong he was. The first test he did was a simple deadlift but he started at 500 pounds, easily twice his body weight. He lifted the enormous weights without struggling. Onto 600 lbs... 700... 800 looked like a chore. 900 broke him. He dropped the weights with a shudder that shook the building and looked at his trainer with frustration. After stretching, taking a sip of water, and re-chalking his hands, he tried again but he couldn't lift it over his head. Evan explained he'd been able to lift 1,200 lbs. easily just before they got here.

[break][break]

There was a dinner that evening for the families of those newly enscripted with the FHP. It was in a large gothic hall built near the Metahuman Neurological Research Unit in San Francisco, just an hour away from Evan's training facility. Security was tight as Joyce Williams was rumored to be in attendance. After all the guests were cleared and seated for dinner, the head security officer came through to do the final sweep. His ability allowed him to read the thoughts of those he could see, in deep detail, as far as 24 hours back. Yet when he came upon Evie, her couldn't see further back than the morning of. He pulled her aside and questioned her before realizing, with the help and quick testing of some colleagues, that she was dampening their abilities. They immediately invited her to join the FHP, much to the chagrin of her brother, (if anyone wanted attention more than Evie, it was him) seeking to make use of her potentially game-changing powers. She accepted, of course. Her powers quickly grew but she grew bored of the hierarchical nature and lack of creative outlets. After six months, Evie requested a leave of absence which went ignored till it was discovered that she was sleeping with her trainer. The request was granted at the "convenience of the government" where the FHP still had her under commission. However, Evie has not been contacted by them in the four months since.

[break][break]

Word of Evie's abilities made its way through the grapevine and she was soon contracted to do various jobs, her biggest client being The Vault -- her powers allowed her to nullify especially dangerous metahumans while keeping them conscious for questioning or torture. Other people found her useful too -- the odd police station, casinos hoping to combat luck manipulators, a pyrokine looking for a bigger flame. Evie is happy to indulge them at the right price.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]POWER

[attr="class","hopelovetop"][attr="class","hopelovesub"]ABILITY[break][break]Evie's powers allow her to weaken or amplify the metahuman abilities of those around her.[break][break] LIMITS[break][break]Evie is only able to negate or augment powers at any one time. She is able to do this in a radius around her, however the more people nearby and the less focused she is, the less effective her negation or augmentation is. For reference, Evie is only able to nullify or amplify someone powers by up to 30% in ideal conditions when she is not touching them.[break][break]

If she is touching them, Evie is able to amplify or negate their abilities by 100% under ideal conditions. She is only able to affect one person at a time through touch and is not able to affect those merely near her when doing so.[break][break]WEAKNESSES[break][break]Evie is not very strong -- she's quite skinny with an eating disorder. So if she needs to get close enough to touch someone under aggressive situations, she has no shot alone. Evie works best with a team of strong people who can or already have subdued her target. She is often able to get close enough to do her job if her client is sexually interested but it's never a guarantee. Even if she does manage to get close enough to touch, if she is tired, stressed, etc., her powers are not completely effective, leaving room for retaliation. With training this may change but Evie currently has little motivation to become stronger...[break][break]
