CHARA INFO
Adriana "Sin" Neika is essentially a short range blaster(or as Adriana, low key brawler / non-combatant). She's mostly built for limited distances, but can attack up close if needed. Her other powers are just basically low key superhuman enhancements, nothing exceptional. They brought her in because of her perfect natural pitch, which they believed could be fine tuned and allow her to create negative subharmonics in targets. It didnt work out quite as they'd planned, but overall they'd have to say it was a success.
She's in ways almost like a number of other sonic blasters, as if she can't speak, she loses access to some of her powers. This limitation does not apply to Adriana, but she doesnt have Sin's ability to project her sonic based energies either.
HISTORY
Having come from a poor family, when they were approached about making Adriana Neika one of their potentials, her parents jumped at the chance. She wasnt so sure about it, but the amount offered, along with them being willing to help provide a scholarship even if she didnt have what it took was more than enough to convince her to go through with it.
There are days now that she regrets that choice.
They determined easily that she had lots of potential, and proceeded to run all sorts of icky and strange tests on her. There were days that all she did was lay in a huge tube filled with some manner of strange gunk. There were days that all they did was run all sorts of physical tests, but finally, the day came when they were ready to test out the full extents of her power.
They told her to focus her thoughts, and direct the 'flow' outwards, toward the target. The next thing she knew, she was laying in a bed, and a number of doctors were looking at her, quite worried, with all sorts of medical terms being thrown about that she couldnt understand. But, she heard one term she did understand. MPD. Multiple Personality Disorder.
It seemed that the first time she tapped into her power, somehow, something in her head snapped, and she created a second persona, who called herself "Sin". The 'core' of the power that she'd received, was 'acquired' by Sin. What she'd received was apparently little more than just a general overall, if still meta-human enhancement of ability. Definitely not of any real worth to the agency.
It wasnt until the next day, that they realized she'd developed abilities they'd never dreamed she'd be capable of. It wasnt in a very pleasant manner either how she discovered it either. She went to bed that night, feeling dejected. Her family needed the money, and after all that happened, to be thrown out like she was nothing.
It wasnt until a few days later, when they had her in an isolation room, making sure that her other personality wasnt hostile, that she came to realize just what had really happened to her.
"I was against this from the beginning."
She didnt recognize the voice, but that was nothing new.
"What do you want?! I'm a failure! All the doctors said it. They don't want me, they want her!"
It'd been hard, knowing that the other personality, who called herself "Sin" was who they wanted. The chances of her family ever getting the money was diminishing fast.
"Oh ... you're not a failure. But ... we need to find out just what it takes to bring Sin out. And how to keep her in control. You are useless, she is not."
The next hour or three was one terror after another, and she just hoped that it'd end. "It's not going to end! She's too valuable to us! Just go away! You're worthless!"
Those words ... she'd remembered how her parents at times had said that, but they'd changed over the years. The words, those specific words brought back unpleasant memories, and she just didnt want to be seen. She just wanted to hide.
Next thing she knew, it all stopped. She looked up to see the doctor being hauled off. The doctor didnt look like he'd taken the end to the session too well, and the guards didnt take what he'd done too well either.
She heard voices, but wasnt completely aware of what was going on, shutting down for the moment.
She didnt understand, but heard a calming voice speak over the comm, but there was a touch of anger in her voice, "Don't worry, she'll be fine. Return to your posts. I trust the doctor didn't put up too much of a fight?"
One of the guards scowled, "Oh, it seems he hit our fists with his face a few too many times, but otherwise, he's fine. Can't believe he managed to pull this off under our noses."
Once they were gone, she heard Sin's voice in her head, "He would have killed you in time, you know that, right?"
She had to nod at what Sin said to her, she was right.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you, and ... you'll protect me."
That took her back, Sin needed protection from something? "How?"
"I burn energy fast with that whammy the lab boys gave me, we gotta share this body, right? So ... we protect each other, k? And maybe I'll teach you a few things about what it's like to live."
A very strange relationship was born.
PERSONALITY
Adriana Neika is a strange girl, who somehow has locked a portion of her most powerful meta-human ability away in the personality that calls itself "Sin". She is a strong willed girl, but is relatively quiet one, not prone to socializing easily despite her natural charisma. Despite the incident with the doctor, she's still able to interact with people with the same ease as before. She doesnt make friends easily, but those she does make, she's loyal to. She's also the sort to try and want to help people, despite her lack of ability, and probably at times because of it. If she ever calls you a friend, you've got a staunch ally.
Sin ... she's another story. While she has all the basic personality traits of Adriana, she's in many ways, totally different as well. It's like someone took Adriana, made her bold, and gave her a zest and a hunger for life. However, there were negative aspects picked up as well, as Sin can have a temper, and when she gets mad, things tend to get destroyed, fast. Also, when Sin decides she doesnt want to deal with anyone, good luck convincing her to do so.
APPEARANCES
Standing at six feet in height, tending toward an athletic build, with blond hair down to her mid back, Adriana Neika stands out in a crowd. No matter what she does, she stands out and draws attention to herself, especially when she starts singing or dancing. Perhaps due to her poor family background, she did everything she could to not be noticed unless on stage due to the state of her clothing, almost always being hand me downs. Now, with her body in far better shape than it was, and with some coaching from Sin, she doesnt look quite so shabby. She dresses in ways to avoid drawing attention to herself, and no doubt, if she tried, could be very beautiful, but her mannerisms and her choice of clothing keeps her from being more noteworthy than she is.
As Sin, she likes to wear clothing that makes herself seen and heard. So long as it's not illegal, Sin is probably going to try it at least once. The zest for life that she has also makes itself noted in the bright look in her eyes, especially when trying something new. However, when Sin is pissed off ... she looks almost like a demon straight out of hell, and is not a good person to be around, especially with the powers at her disposal. Rumors abound that while the two of them can easily easily pass as sisters, that there are a few subtle differences, like breast size, not that anyone can get an answer from Adriana, and nobody is brave enough to risk pissing off Sin to ask her either!
PARENTS
Adriana's parents are both still alive and well and doing well, or at least better now that Adriana is in other hands for the moment. Her father is a car salesman, and her mother works for one of the local schools. In terms of personality, their isnt really a lot to be said about either one of them, as they're mostly busy trying to eke out a living. They do care for her, and try and keep track of her, but they also know that she's practically an adult now. The Agency no doubt discourages an amount of digging into what they plan to do with her.
FRIENDS
Until the event with the Agency, Adriana had only a small cluster of what one would call true friends, who were definitely of a most unusual arrangement. One female geek, one female drama major, one male band member, and a male jock who's definitely part of the 'in' crowd. Definitely an unusual selection of friends. Now, it seems people are more interested in her, but she's still the same girl as she was for the most part, so she hasnt taken an active interest in more friends than she's already got.
-----
Ok, didnt have time yesterday to finish revisions, and while I'm considered Reserve, I'm still going to finish out the tweaking. Hopefully this takes her out of 'questionable' for toe-stepping on others feet.
Changed her musical emphasis to art. She still has some performance skills, and acrobatics, but they're more low key, and indicative of some time spent in drama, and what would probably expected of a talented high school junior.
Wasnt sure if either of the Power Loss Drawbacks would warrant points, as they just restrict her Strike APs, and not the whole Power Array. So I left them as zero point drawbacks. If they do qualify as 1 point drawbacks, then she's got two points floating.
Right now that seems a good quick fix, if its too underpowered/overpowered later we can take a look at it again inbetween issues.
