Name: Alex Wilhelm
Age: 27
Occupation: Social Worker, mainly patrol duty
Manifestation: Hand; she can manipulate electricity and air around her, but the full extent of these powers isn't known yet. She once filled someone's lungs with so much air at once that they exploded, and she's been able to tap into the electricity surging through a transformer to use as a weapon. Using too much of her power at once causes it to start overloading her, surrounding her body and damaging her just as much as it may those around her.
Personality: Alex is cocky, that much is certain. As she's grown up and gotten more and more skilled with using her powers, she's gotten more and more confident. She's loud and pretty obnoxious most of the time, and rather energetic and enthusiastic, as well as determined to the point that gets her seriously hurt many times.
Skills: She knows basic hand-to-hand combat, as well as basic understanding of firearms and bladed weapons.
Equipment: She uses a stun gun and can manipulate the electricity at the end of it as a weapon.
Background: Born two years before the tear appeared in the skies, Alex was simply growing up as a normal child, albeit in a rather religious family, who believed that the Manifested were "demons" possessing the people. As she grew older, however, she discovered that she, too, was becoming Manifested. Before using powers became entirely outlawed, she'd practice late at night by herself, resulting in numerous injuries from her misuse of her growing abilities that she had to explain to her parents when she got back home.
But the one thing she could never explain away were the numerous cracks appearing on her hands. As more and more kept showing up, her parents got more and more suspicious and tried to keep her inside. She started being more secretive, even getting a doctor to constantly treat her without her parents knowing, bartering more and more things with him in order to make sure he kept fixing her. But one day, she simply didn't have enough. And soon after that, she needed help to get a doctor. She still didn't want to go to her parents for it for fear that they would hate and fear her as they did other Manifested. So she became a Social Worker, using her powers to keep other Manifested in line.
But one day, she couldn't hide it from her parents any longer, and she told them that she was a Manifested, and even demonstrated her powers when they refused to believe her. They kicked her out of the house after she confessed to them, and she was forced to find a place to call her own. The place she found was in the Quarantine Zone, and isn't in the nicest neighborhood. But it'll do.
Appearance:
She's not the tallest, at around 5'7". She wears a long grey coat with folded-up sleeves, with a length down to her knees, and faded jeans and Converse. Her eyes are green. Her hands are cracked all over from heavy use of her powers, and they're starting to go up her arm.
I'll keep updating it as I come up with more.
