Peyton Isabel Hobbs
FACE CLAIM: Sabrina Carpenter
♦ THE BASICS ♦
AGE: fourteen
GENDER: Female
ORIENTATION: questioning
POSITION: Student♦ THE ABILITY ♦
POWER: Winged flight
Peyton’s ability has given her a set of feathered wings much like a birds. They are nearly about twelve feet across and allow her to fly. She isn’t fast or truly maneuverable when in the air, about as fast as a car driving in the city. Though if she pushes herself she can get a bit faster but still nothing close to what a bird of prey could reach. Her wings however are always present and are not retractable, while she can fold them against her back, because of their size they cannot be hidden.
Her wings are designed really for leisurely flight and for long time spent airborne. Allowing her to be graceful and spend more time in the air by gliding and spending less time actually flapping her wings to stay airborne. Her wings are very similar in style to that of sea birds.
POWER: Bird mimicry.
Peyton’s bones are hollow to reduce her overall weight. Her lungs also are functionally more like a birds as well. Her lungs are actually functionally small but are expanded upon with air sacs allowing her to receive more oxygen at higher altitudes. Her eyes are also able to distinguish details at up to half a mile compared to what a human can normally see.
LIMITATIONS:
She can only fly about 20mph, 30 if she really pushes herself but only for a short time. Much of this is from lack of experience and her own fear of her power. She has flown about 150 ft up and while she had no trouble breathing Peyton did have a touch of vertigo.
At speeds of about 20 mph she can stay airborne for nearly forty minutes before needing to rest.
While light rain has little effect on her flying, heavy rain will bog her down. Moderate winds from a storm make it difficult for her to fly effectively though she still can with great struggle. Anything stronger then that will damage and rip out her feathers.
Peyton is also affected by the cold. Anything below forty degrees Fahrenheit cause her pain in her joints and bones, especially in her wings. She simply doesn’t have enough mass to insulate from it. Anything below freezing starts to feel like an intense migraine after only a few moments.
While she can make out details at good range with her eyesight, she isn’t as good at seeing movement. She also has virtually no peripheral vision.
SIDE-EFFECTS:
Peyton’s bones are hollow and she has Visible wings that are always there. Her respiratory system is more in line with a birds then a human She actually struggles to breathe through regular exercise such as regular cardio or running.
Since her bones are hollow they are also not as strong and relatively fragile in comparison.
She eats very little at a time but still needs to keep her caloric intake up as her requirements are actually above a standard human’s requirements.
Because of how her eyes now work Peyton is unable to move her eyes in the full human range of movement. She actually has to move her head in order to properly bring things into focus.♦ THE CHARACTER ♦
HEIGHT: 5’ without the wings, 7 feet with.
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
EYE COLOR: Blue though her pupils are a bit larger then normal.
MISC: She has large white wings the black speckling.
PERSONALITY: Before everything Peyton was a popular girl, smart thought not what she would call brainy. She thrived on social situations and spending time with her friends. It was rare for her not to be spending time with friends. The only thing really that would take her away from her friends was singing and her horses. Even that it wasn’t always true. More often than not she would try and get her friends to sing along at the top at songs no matter how bad they were. The horses well, not all of her friends were as fascinated with them as she was.
This wasn’t to say she didn’t have her diva moments because she would. Peyton was used to being the popular girl. If she wasn’t then she would get grumpy about things.
She was friendly, and sociable by nature. Even if she didn’t make friends with everyone she was willing to at least say hi and interact with them. All of this has changed now. As soon as she fell sick and changed her life was turned up on it’s head. Peyton believed that her world was over. At least the world as she knew it. How could anyone accept her like she was now?
Peyton has withdrawn on herself now, feeling like she has lost all of her friends and even to a degree her family. She hasn’t had any contact with her friends since she grew wings. In truth despite the wings she isn’t much like herself anymore. She’s quiet, hardly talking with anyone anymore. She found out soon after she first flew that she isn’t a big fan of heights. In truth if it weren’t for the solitude it afforded her she probably wouldn’t have tried again. As it is now she still isn’t a fan.
SECRET(S): n/a♦ THE HISTORY ♦
Peyton grew up normal enough in a small little town located in Upstate New York. Small as in a population of less than 3000. But it was a normal life, with friends nearby and family. She was a young girl who was always singing and enjoying the outdoors. It also helped that her family owned a few horses. She loved to ride, but more then that she loved to sing. In truth she had even toyed with the idea of becoming a singer. Really, why couldn’t she? She had a voice, even took lessons and sang in the school's chorus. She was constantly singing.
All her life was normal, Peyton had no idea her life would take an extreme left turn until she was thirteen during the winter. Peyton was doing her morning chores and tending to the horses like she did every day. But this day they wouldn’t approach. They were acting strange the whole time she was in barn, snorting and stomping their hooves in fear. Something was off and other then her feeling odd she couldn’t tell why.
The next day Peyton felt worse and was in pain. A few days later it was evident why when wings sprouted from her back. She had always been a bit thin and light now while not thinner she was a bit lighter. It was rather evident things had changed about her. Peyton was to say the least freaking out. Feeling like she was now a freak and hiding from her friends. As far as she was concerned her life was ruined.
The recruiters showed up within the week. An older guy named Elliot about the age of her parents and a Doctor Philomena. A woman about the same age. Both seemed unassuming but both explained things to Peyton and her parents. They explained what was going on and while many times doing their job they try and explain what potential the new recruit. However for the most part in Peyton’s case her’s seemed a bit obvious.
Her parents wanted what was best for her, this school was that. Especially with the changes she was going through. Peyton didn’t know what to do or what to think. While part of what the recruiters said made sense, her mind was still too garbled and and in truth she was too caught in her thoughts to truly understand. After a day of thought she talked with them again and decided to go. It wasn’t like she would be able to go back to her old school anyways. She was a freak plain and simple. Even if part of her felt her wings did look beautiful, in her mind she was simply no longer human.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
