[Raewyn Lockyer]

Raewyn Jade Lockyer
FACE CLAIM: Emily Rudd

♦ THE BASICS ♦

AGE: 19
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
POSITION: Bellefonte Academy College Student

♦ THE ABILITY ♦

POWER: Fire Manipulation
Rae has the ability to create, shape, and manipulate fire. If you want to be really scientific about the process it would be Rae mentally and physically controlling the rapid oxidation in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, heat being released, and a light source being generated. The color of the fire is purely effected by the chemicals in the air or what the fire is using as fuel, but most often the flames take on a orange/red hue to them.

Specifically for Rae, she can only create fire only within her hands that take on the common appearance of little flame balls or a single flame much like one that would appear on a lighter. She can also control other natural fire sources to an extent using her hands and body movements to get the fire to take the shape and move the way she desires.

She will give credit to the cartoon show Avatar for giving her the idea of how best to move and control her flames that ties in to her physical training. Her power is mental in the use of create the fire but vastly physical when it comes to moving and shaping the fire to her will.

LIMITATIONS:
-The fire she can create can only be made within the palm of her hands at the moment and as such the largest fire balls she has been able to make is the size of a tennis ball.
-While she cant be burned by fire that she herself has created, she can be burned by natural fire and fire created from other manipulators of fire so she had to be careful when manipulating fire that is not her own.
-She can't light herself on fire, even with her own fire and is strictly stuck with her own created flames existing solely in the palm of her hands. While of course she could end up catching on fire if its her own fire her skin; and not her clothing, will be fine but if its not her own fire she will be burned and harmed by it.
-There needs to be oxygen in the air for her to be able to create and control fire, given without oxygen fire cannot continue to burn.
-If her internal body temperature is too low, she has difficulty creating fire and pretty much can't create her own fire if her body temperature drops to 94°F or lower. She also can manipulate other fire if her core temperature is that low but any higher and she can still manipulate and create fire.
-She can only control fire as far as she can clearly see it in any direction and sometimes she can control a flame she can't see if she can feel the heat from it, but its rare for her to be able to do this ad when she does, its not for very long.
-If she is soaking wet it makes it very heard and dangerous for her to try and create fire or manipulate it due to the oxygen in the water and in general her being damp.
-She can manipulate fire that is not her own longer then she can manipulate fire that she herself created. Flames that she has created she can control with no issues for up to an hour to almost two hours straight before she will suffer from some of her side effects. For fire that is not her own she can manipulate and control it for at a maximum of four hours straight but by that point will suffer from almost all of her side effects.

SIDE-EFFECTS:
-Her core body temperature is higher then most people and as such she burns through pretty much everything in her body from what she consumes, energy, and so on. This means that she has to consume more calories and often keep herself hydrated in order to keep herself from getting sick or fainting.
-Due to her higher body temperature, she does not do to well on really hot days, often having to make sure she keeps herself cool or risk fainting or getting sick.
-If she gets too hot, she suffers from bad migraines, nose bleeds, and excessively sweating in order for her body to try and cool itself down.
-She has to take cold or lukewarm showers and baths in order to keep her body from getting too hot given warm/hot water can sometimes end up boiling against her skin when contact against her skin is maintained too long.
-IF she uses her power for too long it not only increases her body temperature the more hours that past but if she reaches her limit her body will cause her to physically pass out and remain unconsciousness until her body reaches her average temperature, which of course leaves her vulnerable until she cools down.
-For the most part her ability does not effect her personality too much but when she feels too great of an emotions the fire she creates and controls is far more dangerous to not only herself but anyone around her. That and she does not control fire as well in this state, leading to all sorts of accidents.

♦ THE CHARACTER ♦

HEIGHT: 5′ 5″
HAIR COLOR: Brown
EYE COLOR: Blue

MISC: Her name is pronounced ‘RAY-win’ ‘LOK-yehr’, which she sometimes might make a big deal about people saying it wrong but it depends on her mood. Raewyn has a few tattoos on her body from one on her back and another on her upper right arm. The one on her back looks like THIS. The one on the upper side of her right arm looks like THIS. Her ears are not pierced with no plans at the moment to have them pierced. When it comes to the type of clothing Rae will wear, anything that is comfortable is up for grabs. Anything from shorts, jeans, skinnies, skirts, and dresses are all game as long as she finds them comfortable to be in.

The one thing that tends to be constant is her wearing short sleeve or maybe even sleeveless shirt given past experiences with her powers catching her shirt on fire. She will wear jackets and long sleeves from time to time but she often will push the sleeves up and out of the way. When it comes to scars or burn marks, she does not have any at the moment and actually has pretty smooth skin. Due to her hairs length and curly nature she normally will either let it all out or pull it back into half pony-tail.

PERSONALITY: Raewyn in general is a nice and friendly person as long as you are nice to her. If not, well she will treat you like you treat her or worse and not lose a wink of sleep over it. For her, first impressions are a big deal so if you blow it with her the first time she is likely to not allow you a second chance unless you really work at showing her your different. This even applies to situations in where you are not in direct interaction with her, meaning if she sees you disrespecting an adult, she will write you off as a delinquent. She is big on following the rules and general order of things as long as she does not find them to be stupid, troublesome, or likely to cause more harm than good.

She enjoys keeping up with her training for both her physical body and her power, helping out the school in different ways, listening to music, and milkshakes. As for things that she does not like it would be delinquents who break rules and rebel against structure for no real reason, any kind of extreme weather from really hot days to really cold days, group projects, overly clingy/touchy people, and almost all purple foods. Her greatest strength would literally be her body given she is a 2nd dan black belt and looks forward to getting her 3rd at some point. She of course has a few other strength from normally being very focused and well driven when it comes to her school work and training.

Her greatest weakness would be not having control over her power when emotions are involved, which is true for most but she is personally ashamed of it. Along with other weakness being she tends to be very hard on herself anytime she gets any kind of low score, she can’t cook or bake to save her life, and has a tiny bit of a commit issue in any kind of relationship. Her greatest fear is that she will end up killing or seriously harming someone with her power or her skills in fighting. While her greatest desire would be at the very least to control her power well enough so she does not burn people who desire to get close to her.

SECRET(S): Rae has actually killed a man in the name of self-defenses but she still feels like she should have held herself back a bit more. She has also hurt seriously hurt a young woman on accident but it is why she has issues allowing people getting too close to her both physical and emotionally. In the first situation no one knows about and still to this day the man’s case is unsolved given the evidence was burned. The latter of her secretes happened when she was young at the mutant school she was at the time so the staff and students that were around during that time would know of the event, but given she was successful transferred as a result, its buried in her files.

♦ THE HISTORY ♦

Rae was born in Exmouth, Australia to an unknown father a mother by the name of Consie Emmalene, who at the time was just a 17 year old teen not ready to raise a child. As such, she gave up her daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Lockyer who had been trying to have their own child for years but with no luck. They happily and easily welcomed the little baby girl into their home and named her Raewyn and gave her the middle name of Jade at her mother’s request as a piece of her so that her daughter would still have ‘a piece of her’ even if they would never see one another again. While Consie did never see her daughter again; even while the Lockyer’s had agreed she could see her daughter again, young Rae grew up in a relatively happy childhood. The ones she only ever knew to be her parents raised her with love, care, and of course wanted her to give it her best in everything that she did.

From an early point in life her father had quickly worked on teaching her mixed martial arts in order for his little girl to protect herself and as well hopefully help him out with teaching when she was older. Things started off easy going but when Rae tended to be a bit more distracted with the world around her and wanting to work with animals, things started to become difficult. Her father became strict with her lessons, not allowing her any leisure time until she completed what she needed to do in order to be ready when it would be time to test if she would move onto the next rank or not. As a result a small part of her started to dislike training but when she did well and her father would praise her and give her various rewards it started to change her opinions on the matter. Her father was not the only strict one on her as her mother as well expected great things from her child, wanting her to do well in school and have the chance to go to college overseas. As such, she was expected to do well in her schooling and in her training to please both her parents, which she did her best to do.

Life was all about giving it her all, bringing home good grades, taking gold in fighting tournaments, and in general being among the best. Things were not always easy and there were times when she did not win the gold or brought home a B- and was scolded or punished for it but nothing ever too bad. Despite all that, she still became very hard on herself growing up and limited her interactions with others to not have outside distractions. Life took a momentary dark turn when she was fourteen years old and was on her way home from school. Unlike normal she went a different path, having spotted a young koala and wanted to get a closer look. There was a drunken guy near the area, having spotted young Rae and started to converse with her in a way that sent all sorts of red flags up. She first of course tried to leave the situation but when the guy would not allow it, she used her mix material arts to sort of even the odds against the man. However when she flipped him, she accidentally ended up causing him to be impaled by a metal rode sticking out of the ground that was once a sign post.

As the guy started to bleed out and the panic arouse in Rae she did actually try to save the guy but as soon as she touched him his clothing caught fire and quickly spread. Unsure of what just happened she ran as fast as she could back home, keeping what had happened that day a secret that she did her best to convince herself it was all some nightmare. It was sixteen days after that event that two people showed up at her home and told her parents that she was no ordinary kid. At first she and her parents didn’t understand and even when things were explained her parents refused to give up the child they had wanted for so long. It was that day that Raewyn learned she was adopted and that she was a mutant. While it had been made clear that she had to be taken to a special school for people like her, both her parents put up a fight, her father actually getting physical but one of the recruiters easily handled the two of them, and away she went. Given that Japan was the closest to where she was from, she was sent to Sainō where she remained for only a year.

During that time she had a hard time adjusting to the new place, learning a new language, and in general dealing with her new found power. There was an older girl at the school that proved to be one of the people she quickly viewed as a friend and even had sort of a crush on that helped her get used to the life of being a mutant and the world she was a part of now. It was around the time that she had been at the school for a year that when she had kissed the girl that had become her closest friend there, that things turned bad. As things went further from kissing, Rae touched the girl’s face to hold her in the kiss, only to end up burning the girl’s face with a fire from her hands and even singing the girl’s hair in the process. Things were a blur for her from that moment to the point she does not know what really happened other than that she knew she asked to be transferred to somewhere far away and that was how she was sent to Bellefonte Academy.

Once there she was quick to keep herself from getting too close with others, kept herself busy with her school work, training of her powers, and of course a few clubs like Martial Arts/Self Defense Club and even Hockey. While she has made ‘friends’ and even had flings, she makes it clear to those that they should not expect to get too close to her or hang around her too often. She does not outright say it’s due to her fear of hurting them with her power and instead lets it seem as if she just does not have time to be super close to others. As a college students she plans to remain involved in her favorite clubs and sports, as well as perhaps sign on as a dorm monitor to further help keep her busy and have that social interaction she craves without worrying about getting to close to others. She is still at a loss as to what to do when she is done with college and is thankful she still has time to decide.
