![]() ![]() Play By:Da Nhat Yen ![]() Full Name: Xi'an Coy Mahn Codename: Karma Nicknames/Aliases: Shan, Xi-Xi, Miss Mahn Age: 23 Birthday: October 31st Ethnicity/Race: Vietnamese Height: approx. 130 lbs Weight: 5' 4" Eyes: Brown Hair: Black, Dyed Purple Features: Purple hair, multiple ear piercings ![]() Personality: Xi'an is a very family oriented young woman. Her family means everything to her and if you harm/insult or do anything mean to one of them, the result will not be pretty. Despite her semi-casual attittude, Xi'an will not hesitate to get physical if it is required to keep people she loves- friends included as she sees them as family as well- from harm. Think mother bear. But if you leave those she cares for alone, she's pretty much easy to get along with, just so long as you keep personal prejudices to yourself. But as Xi'an grew older her personality changed a bit. Most of the time she is still a woman who is easy to get along with, but catch her on a bad day, or piss her off and you will meet the full bitchiness of a 5'4" Vietnamese woman. Beware her wraith, she always carries throwing knives on her. ![]() Power Name: Mind Posession Power Type: Mental Description: Karma is a mutant who has the psionic ability project a psionic energy surge that overwhelms her victims' consciousness while placing her mind in command, allowing her to alter their perceptions and memories, command entranced opponents to divulge information, or operate their bodies as if they were an extension of her own. She can control her subject's actions and experience what the subject's senses perceive. During the possession her subject's higher brain functions revert to diminished levels, similar to their state in a dreamless sleep, and the subject is left with no memory of the actual possession. Although Karma can possess multiple subjects simultaneously, her control over her subjects is fragmented as she shifts her attention from one to another. It is possible she will overcome this handicap as her experience in using her powers grows. When Karma first takes possession of someone, she can only move her subject's body awkwardly until she acclimates herself to her new host body. Power weaknesses: As wonderful a power as this is, there are many downfalls. First if Karma possesses more than one person there is always the risk of someone slipping out of her grasp and regaining their senses. That is very dangerous and could lead to nothing good. Also if Karma controls too many people she can wear herself out and pass out. Again a very dangerous risk. Then there's also the slightly obvious first few minutes of the possession where Karma has to adjust to the new body. If not careful someone could clue in that something is not right with the person she's possessing and start asking questions. Power 2 Name: Sensory Link Power Type: Mental Description: Karma may establish a partial possession and gain the feeling’s and sensations of the target. Power weaknesses: This could be considered a very minor form of empathy and like empathy has it's failings if Karma is not careful. If the target is in extreme pain, or some other extreme emotion it will reflect back to her and could very well disable her if it is strong enough. This is one power that Karma uses as little as possible due to the chances of feeling things that she'd rather not. Power 3 Name: Psionic Deflector Shield Power Type: Mental Description: Generates a psionic deflector shield that disrupts incoming psi-signatures, protecting her from all manner of psychic assault. Power weaknesses: While using this gift, Karma is unable to possess someone, as it disrupts psi-signatures, her own and ones projected at her. Power Name 4: Tags Power Type: Mental Descrption: Karma has the ability to "tag" people through a lot of personal diciplin and a few mini posessions that leave an empathic line to the person, or persons she chooses. She has had "Tags" on her siblings since her parents died, and has used them to follow her siblings and find out where they were being held after kidnapping. This is in no way telepathy, as Karma does not have the ability to read minds or do any of the other things a telepath can do like projecting, reading of minds, telepathic conversation, etc. All she can do with this tag ability is empathically feel, and follow with 85% accuracy to where the person is, given how far apart they started. Power Weakness: Karma can only "tag" about ten to fifteen people at a time, and with two tags perminatly stuck in her head, her ability to tag teammates and students decreases as she won't give up her link to her siblings. Most of the time, Karma will tag teammates before a missiona nd it will be a basic, surface one, to help keep track of them without being able to feel their pain and such as they fight. After a while those tags will fade, and she will have to renew them. Since Karma is not a telepath, when she is tracking her tags she has to focus solely on what she is doing and as such is very vulnerable and requiers protection, as she cannot use her power and fight. Karma can also not use this power when she is using her psonic deflector shield. ![]() Hometown/Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York/ Highlands of Vietnam Skills and Talents: First aid certified, crochet, martial arts certified Occupation: Salem High Librarian Education: BA in Library sciences, currently taking classes to teach Vietnamese and French Affiliation: X-Men; NPC Family: Unnamed father (deceased), Unnamed Mother (deceased), Tran Coy Manh (Twin brother, deceased), Leong (younger brother), Nga (younger sister), General Nguyen Coy (Uncle, deceased) Friends: Father Michael Bowen Enemies: General Nguyen Coy (Uncle, deceased), Honored Cousin, Vietnamese Mob History: Xi'an Coy Manh was the daughter of a colonel in the Vietnamese army. Xi'an and her twin brother Tran Coy Manh were mutants with the power to take mental possession of the minds of others. While still a child, Xi'an saw an enemy soldier threaten Tran. Not realizing she had a superhuman power, Xi'an nevertheless, acting impulsively, took possession of the soldier's mind and stopped him from killing Tran. Tran then successfully attempted the same feat and forced the soldier to kill himself. While Tran took great delight in this use of his newfound power, Xi'an was frightened of her power. She kept their powers secret, but Tran told their uncle Nguyen, a general in the Vietnamese army. General Coy later arranged for Xi'an's family to leave Vietnam, which was now entirely under a Communist government, but only Tran was sent abroad. Eventually, the rest of the family left Vietnam on a small, crowded boat. Xi'an's father was murdered by attacking pirates, who assaulted the women; her mother died the day the survivors were rescued by the United States Navy. Xi'an, her younger brother Leong, and her younger sister Nga, were sent to the United States to be reunited with her uncle Nguyen and Tran. General Coy had become a powerful and prosperous criminal in the United States (although he was publicly known as a businessman), and Tran was using his powers in his uncle's employ. When Coy asked Xi'an to use her powers in his service, she refused. She sought help from a Catholic priest, Father Michael Bowen, whom she had known in Vietnam. With Father Bowen's aid Xi'an secured employment and an apartment and enrolled her younger siblings in school. But then General Coy kidnapped Leong and Nga in an effort to blackmail her into working for him. Desperate to save her siblings, Xi'an snuck into where her siblings were being held and overtook the minds of two of the guards in charge of holding the children. After getting those two to take the children out and get them safe, she had them come back and relinquished control. After that she took over a few more guards and had them trash the place and beat one another up, to make it seem like someone else had broken in and caused a ruckus. Xi'an, once she finished, wearily exited back the way she came and was reunited with Leong and Nga. Seeking sanctuary and protection from her uncle-or the idea of protection- Xi'an took her siblings and herself to the church where Father Michael was located. He gladly gave them sancutary. Finding them a place to live, and helping Xi'an get her citizenship, Father Michael made it slightly easier for Xi'an to go to school and get a job to support her siblings as they too went to school, all the while dodging the mob, which was continually after Xi'an in an attempt to use her oddity to further them in the underground world. Assisting the police in busting the few that came after them, her help increased their arrest rates which made the higher ups very happy. Going to university she went into library studies, getting an anonymous scholarship from a man who never came forward and she passed her classes with little trouble. Looking for a job after she graduated she started working at the library in Brooklyn before recently being approached by a man who knew about her difference. Telling him she wouldn't use her powers to advance him or help him with monetary gains, she was assured he only wanted to help others like herself, and asked if she would join him. Compromising about where the children would live with her at the mansion and she was some how arranged a job at Salem high as the school's librarian. ![]() Player Name (Or Net Handle if preferred): Mo Age: 19 Contact Information: see others How you found the site: ............>,< Application secret word: see others |
