Katrina April Bellefonte
FACE CLAIM: Chrissy Costanza
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: 16
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: Homosexual
POSITION: Student♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Sensation link
Katrina's ability allows her to temporarily link her own senses with that of another person. This means that both her and her target will share portions of their 5 senses with each other for the duration of the link.
Herself and the target would both get flashes of sights, smells, physical feelings, hearing and tastes. This doesn't mean that they become one consciousness though, they only get flashes of the effects that certain stimuli have on each others senses, for example particularly strong tastes would be shared between both parties, even if only one of them actually sampled the stimuli that had provided the taste in question.
Katrina establishes a link by getting close to the other person and concentrating on them, usually followed by touch and then is active from then until it's active duration expires.
LIMITATIONS:
-Katrina must be within a couple of feet to establish a link with the intended target, and must be able to concentrate on them. This is also easier to do if she can physically touch them.
-Once the link is active it has an effective range of about 70 Feet, if the two of them wander past that boundary the link would break prematurely.
-The active duration is around 45 minutes.
-The longer the link is active, the weaker it becomes, this means that more potent sensations are required to be shared and the effective range will also gradually shrink towards the last 15 minutes until it's only within a few feet.
-The power is only usable between 3 and 6 times a day, this varies depending on her physical and emotional state.
-She cannot end the link prematurely outside of the circumstances mentioned above.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
-The most obvious side effect is that while Katrina's target would share many of her sensations, the same would also be true of her.
-Overuse of the power would start to cause a sensation of numbness and sensory deprivation, if pushed too hard she would suffer nausea and more extreme sensitivity to touch for at least 48 hours.
-If the link breaks by distance instead of time Katrina will be disorientated for 5-10 minutes depending on how far apart they were when the link broke.♦ THE FREEFORM ♦
You wanna know more 'bout me?
Well, my name is Katrina. Friends call me Kat. I've got gorgeous brown eyes and hair, though the colour of the latter will vary depending on which week you catch me in. I'm from a long standing family of crazy rich people who run the weirdest school in the whole of the United States.
Don't believe me? Well, I'm not talking about the school having a particularly odd program. Or odd teaching methods (Though some people would probably think that too). What I'm talking about, is the school housing and teaching the largest concentration of mutants in the world. Mind you, there aren't THAT many of them anyway, the whole world being kept in the dark on them thing and all... But yeah, my family runs the main one.
They are kinda cool, I guess? I've never had to deal with being poor or monetary struggles (obviously) and on top of that I've also got a whole lot of family members around that I can pester for- urm, attention. But I sometimes just feel... I don't know, pent up is probably a good word for it. I just want to cut loose, but I'm a Bellefonte and to a lot of the students at the academy, that means a certain something. I kind of hate it.
Actually... Come to mention it even though I've been around mutants my whole life, I was kinda freaked out about that whole thing until a little while ago. See, most mutants tend to come into their power around the start of puberty, and I'm from this long line of mutants which mostly seem to adhere to that... Me though? Not so much. My powers came in like, 2 weeks before my 16th Birthday. (That's the 19th of January, in case you wanna write this down)
Now, THAT is a story. So I may or may not, depending on who you speak to, be a bit of an attention whore. Growing up as the young'un of so many amazing brothers and sisters and a prosperous family made it kind of hard for me to fulfill that. On top of that I always felt like some of it was negative... I mean, again I bloomed so late in regular mutant terms, so I took to doing stupid things. I mean, I'm not super clever like some of my siblings, and I'm not athletically gifted or have a fancy power I can show off so...
Stupid things. One of which miiight have involved a friend procuring some less than legal substances including a bottle of something a little stronger than soda. What, don't look at me like that it was fine, really! Ahem. Back to the story. So anyway, I may have been feeling the erm- effects of those certain substances and might have then got cornered by a slightly older relative. So being the articulate genius I am, I attempt to prove to them that I am indeed not dabbling in these things I'm now being accused of.
Aaaaand I kinda... Well. My power happened. Said relative then felt ALL of the things that I was currently feeling and vice versa, and I sort of passed out and was in a nauseous migraine coma in my room for about 3 days. Parents seemed happy enough that my powers had come through though.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
