Third time's the charm?
History: Trina Leon never asked for her abilities. She never wanted to be different from anyone else. At the tender age of four she burned the roof off of her mother’s house in a fit of childish anger. The resulting fire killed her mother and left her two brothers scarred for life.
The incident scarred her psyche and she bottled up all her rage, anger, and resentment deep inside her. She formed a mental block around her powers and wouldn’t allow herself to acknowledge that what happened was her fault.
Twelve years passed by and the effects of Trina’s denial were becoming more and more evident. She was constantly depressed, and her powers were slowly burning her out. Her face had a hollow look to it and she looked and smelled… burned. Her father suspected drugs (having never actually learned that it was she who caused the original fire) and started sending her to a psychologist.
She was attending her ninth session with the psychologist, Dr. Annah St. John, when the office was destroyed during a battle between two small teams of costumed vigilantes. Trina was knocked hard in the head and passed out. The next thing she remembered was being held hostage by a very tall man dressed in a black leather duster. He held some kind of knife… or his hand was a knife (she couldn’t be too sure as everything was still groggy) to her stomach.
She begged and pleaded with him to let her go but he was using her as a human shield. One of the vigilantes pursuing him tired of the hostage game and hurled a small Toyota at the both of them.
Trina was shocked and enraged. She now lay broken and bleeding, the man’s hand-knife penetrating her back clear through to her stomach. How could the so –called good guys do this? She was just minding her own business, trying to actually help herself, when these terrorists involved her in their own private battle. Who knows how many innocents like her caught up and killed in their reckless little war?
A decade’s worth of self-hate, angst, guilt, turmoil, and pain surfaced in an explosion of light and heat. When all was said and done, Trina was lying naked in a small, perfectly smooth crater. No one was around as she wandered dizzily from one street to the next. Firefighters soon found her passed out amid the wreckage and Dr. Annah St. John identified her. Quickly deducing what had happened, she contacted an old psychologist currently working for SHIELD and remanded Trina to their care.
Under SHIELD’s tuteledge, she is slowly learning to control her fearsome powers… and she’d better learn soon as her powers are slowly eating her away from the inside out.
Notes: Stylistically (doesn’t have to be reflected in game mechanics (I’m not looking for free points)) using her Disintigration ability causes Trina pain as the intense heat physically burns her.
Personality: Trina is frequently depressed by her situation. She never asked to be this way and is now dying because of her *specialness*. She refuses to accept any fault for her mother’s death (though, the guilt eats away at her constantly). As well, she seems to have a vendetta against any costumed group of vigilantes who operate outside the law. Paradoxily, she tends to idolize those meta-humans who work with the law enforcement agencies. She has no qualms about killing avowed terrorists in combat simulations, as she has been quite successful in projecting her guilt and self-hate onto them.
Appearance: Trina is 5’ 2” tall and weighs about 78 lbs soaking wet. She doesn’t see herself as particularly attractive, though she is if she ever takes the time to clean herself up. Her hair is brown, but she dies it inky black. Her eyes are are a dark brown, amost black. She tends to dress in black as well, so as to match her mood.
She wears no jewelry as it frequently tends to melt when she uses her powers or when her temper flares. People often note the smell of burned hair or cloth around her… and she goes through clothes like nobody’s business.

Pate Pot Pete, I don't think I will have the time I thought I would to commit to this. I'm going to (hopefully) be running a game of my own on these boards, and I don't want to do a half-arsed job on my character or your campaign. Thanks for considering me, and good luck with your game!

Just wondering if this game is still going on before I throw a background together, cause this sounds like a lot of fun.

If there's still room I'm interested in joining. My basic character concept would be for a character nicknamed Envy with the shapeshift power w/ the mimic extra along with very good eyesight and the ability to memorize things that she's seen (green eyes of course, and they don't change whenever she shapeshifts). I'll write up her a bit more if I find out you still have positions open.
