Her skin is quite pale, with just the slightest hint of olive undertone; she has large dark eyes and slightly wavy black hair (which she has lately taken to wearing in a very short cut; it might look severe on someone else, but actually looks good given the shape of her face). She is generally prone to smiling, and her face is quite expressive. Tasha tends to dress in a very modest fashion, generally favoring long skirts (over tights), high-collared shirts or turtlenecks, and sleeves to the wrist. She like silver filigree jewelry of all kinds. She usually carries a large satchel or shoulder bag (usually containing her sketchbook and drawing materials, several books, a water bottle- and whatever meds she is currently taking).Personality: Tasha is generally friendly, though a bit quiet. She has a rather dark sense of humor, and a reflexive tendency towards sarcasm and self-deprecation- she tends to avoid the spotlight (She has spent years trying to bury her celebrity status, after all). She also dislikes physical contact- she likes a lot of personal space. She enjoys reading, especially fantasy, and self-identifies as a nerd (much to her mother's dismay). She has a strong fondness for print (books and comics, mostly); she doesn't watch many movies, and often says that "TV rots your brain"- despite this, she has an almost uncanny awareness of what shows and movies are popular, and what happens in them. In visual terms, she does enjoy traditional animation (especially Studio Ghibli)- on her own, she has begun to develop her talent as an artist, and is rarely without her sketchbook. Tasha does not particularly enjoy physical exertion- she would much rather be comfortably curled up with a book or her sketches; a significant part of this comes from the fact that she is more than a bit clumsy and accident-prone (though this is in part due to uncontrolled PK activity). She has, in the past, had seizures (not epilepsy, but similar), so she has quite a bit of sympathy for people with disabilities (especially 'invisible' ones)- it seems like these seizures were triggered by psychic activity, and may have faded out as her brain structure and chemistry have matured...Background: Tasha was born in Los Angeles- both of her parents were involved in the entertainment industry, and she was ‘acting’ before she could walk, under the ‘stage name’ of Natalie Robbins. By the age of five, she was starring in the TV show ‘Lady of the House’, a modestly popular sitcom. As she grew, though, she began to experience a number of unexplained ‘incidents’ including both visual and auditory hallucinations and RSPK phenomena- these incidents seemed to grow worse as time passed, and soon enough they were impossible to ignore. Tasha retired from acting for ‘health reasons’ at age 10- ‘Lady of the House’ was cancelled less than a season later, but still pops up in syndication.            In the intervening years, Tasha has gone through more than a dozen schools, a handful of institutions, and an army of therapists and counselors (from quacks to geniuses). Unfortunately, her "condition" also destroyed her parents' marriage- while Tasha and her mom have moved to Massachusetts to be close to a number of resources including her grandparents, her father remarried VERY quickly and he has remained in Hollywood. One breakthrough has come quite recently- Tasha spent the first half of the year at the McLean Hospital in Belmont; it is best known as a psychiatric hospital, but it is (secretly?) also at the forefront of research into Psychic phenomena- Tasha hasn't been 'cured', or really even diagnosed, but she has learned some tricks of meditation, and gained some helpful prescriptions (or maybe her body is simply growing into her abilities...). After some significant debate, Tasha was enrolled at Belmont High, for an attempt at a "normal life"- who knows what the future might bring? Her mother, meanwhile, works in Boston, teaching classes on 'entertainment industry' topics at Emerson and Berklee.[/sblock][sblock= Tasha's Psychic Abilities: (GM)]- At this point in her life, Tasha's psychic gifts are almost entirely latent. In game terms, she is a (latent) Telepath, but her strongest gifts are in clairsentience and psychokinesis. She has minor telepathic talent (represented in terms of skills, and in the future in Charismatic levels and Talents). Her earliest manifestations were entirely unconscious, mostly triggered by various stresses, but also 'echoes' from encountering other untrained/latent psychics. Her seizures, which have mostly faded away, were mostly because her immature brain structure wasn't able to handle the neural stimulae her senses were pumping in.     In addition to any abilities she can consciously control, she has significant gifts in Precognition, Object Reading, and other clairsentient powers. Especially since these powers aren't detailed in d20 Modern, these are handed off to the GM, to be used however is convenient- mostly to drive Plot as needed. She also has some excess psychokinetic ability- this manifests in an uncontrolled fashion, especially under stress, and typically acts 'against' Tasha herself; this is part of her 'accident- prone' nature.[/sblock][sblock= Crunch]STR 8 (-1)DEX 9 (-1)CON 12 (+1)INT 14 (+2)WIS 14 (+2)CHA 15 (+2)Initiative: -1Perception: Listen +2, Spot +2, Search +3Defense: 9 (-1 DEX; +0 class; +0 Equipment)HP: 7 (6 +1 CON) FORT +1 (Base 0, +1 Con)REFL -1 (Base +0, -1 DEX)WILL +3 (Base +1, +2 WIS)BAB: +0 (-1 melee; -1 Missile)Basic Classes: Smart 1/Charismatic 0/Dedicated 0Total level: 1Starting Occupation: Creative (Add Bluff, Disguise, Perform- Acting as class skills)Reputation Bonus: +1Action Points: 5 (level 1)Wealth: +2(Advanced class possibilities: Telepath, possibly Battlemind)>Weapons:-None[sblock= Skills<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />-Smart 1, INT 14= 9+2= 11 (x4= 44)Bluff +6 (4 ranks; +2 CHA)Concentrate +3 (2r/cc, +1 CON)Craft- visual arts +6 (Illustration, Calligraphy)(4r, +2 INT)Craft- writing +3 (1r, +2 INT)Diplomacy +3 (1r/cc, +2 CHA)Disguise +3 (1r, +2 CHA)Gather information +3 (1r/cc, +2 CHA)Investigate +3 (1r, +2 INT)Jump +0 (1r/cc, -1 STR)Listen +2 (untrained)(0r, +2 WIS)Perform- acting +4 (2r, +2 CHA)Profession- student +3 (1r, +2 INT)Read/write +3 (Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian)(3r)Research +4 (2r, +2 INT)Search +3 (1r, +2 INT)Sense Motive +3 (1r/cc, +2 WIS)Speak language +3 (Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian)(3r)Spot +2 (untrained)(0r, +2 WIS)Knowledge- Arcane lore +3 (1r, +2 INT)Knowledge- Art +3 (1r, +2 INT)Knowledge- Behavioral sciences +5 (1r, +2 INT, +2 feat)Knowledge- Current events +3 (1r, +2 INT)Knowledge- Pop culture +9 (4r, +2 INT, +2 feat, +1 Savant)Knowledge- Theology/philosophy +3 (1r, +2 INT)(To Add: Computer use, Perform- comedy, Knowledge- Earth/life sciences, Knowledge- History, Knowledge- Physical sciences)[/sblock]>Talents:-Smart 1: Savant (Knowledge- Pop culture, +1))>Feats:- Level 1: Wild talent (Far hand); Educated (Knowledge- Behavioral sciences, Pop culture)>Class Features: -Smart 1: Talent (Research tree- Savant: Research)Equipment: (TBD)Languages: English, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian[/sblock]</blockquote>
