MAX GUEVARA canon: Dark Angel canon point: Mid 2x01 (Designate This) canon cw: Torture, child abuse (psychological, physical, and sexual), experimentation, dubious consent, breeding programs. brief bio: Created to be the perfect soldier, escaped the facility she was created in when she was nine, spent the second half of her life on the run from said facility and trying to find her lost siblings and funded that search by cat burglaring, discovered a whistleblower and eventually ended up helping him in exchange for information on said siblings, eventually fell in love with him and shortly thereafter ended up getting recaptured by the facility she'd been running from. App! relationship status: Single??? It's complicated but given that she's here and doesn't realize she was set up to kill her would be boyfriend she'll probably think he's dead. apparent age: 21. appearance: Max is of slightly above average height (5'7) and slender build with long, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a light olive complexion. She was engineered to be exceptionally pretty with a unique musculature, so she's much stronger than she looks. Visual! identifying marks; Barcode tattoo (it's actually written into her genetic code, past attempts at removing it have resulted in it coming back a few weeks later) and a scar over her sternum that's healing a lot quicker than it should. mental state: Max had been on her way to escape Manticore to prevent them from assassinating her would-be boyfriend (unaware that she was the person meant to assassinate him, having been infected with a virus genetically targeted to kill him if they touch). She's determined to get to him first, scared that she won't, and a little exhilarated that it seems as if she's actually managed to escape, unaware that it was a set up. Upon realizing that she's somewhere else she can't leave, she's going to be very unhappy about it, but will remain determined to leave and find a way to get herself and the people she meets there home. ABILITIES Max's canon abilities are best described as enhanced, much like Steve Rogers's - she is capable of doing and withstanding more than the average human, her reflexes and general speed are faster, and she can endure more fighting or running for longer. Her senses are also enhanced - in this case, think of Matt Murdock to a slightly less intense degree - she cannot hear someone's heartbeat, for example, but she can hear conversations clearly from a far distance if she tunes into them and she can see things clearly from that same distance if she focuses. She was also engineered with a great deal of pluripotents (stem cells) in her bloodstream so she can heal from injury much quicker than a normal human could, although fatal wounds will still kill her (this is demonstrated at the end of season one when she is shot to death by her X7 clone and given a heart transplant by her brother; she is capable of Manticore's intense training regimen only months after receiving the transplant and shows the scar to her boss, which is healed enough by the middle of the season to not be visible). She can also go for long periods without sleep, which is theorized to be due to shark DNA, and her other capabilities are due in part to feline DNA. She also has an eidetic memory and is extremely intelligent. Her skills include proficiency in multiple languages and forms of martial arts and other forms of combat, both armed and hand to hand (though she refuses to use firearms). When it comes to nerfing, I figured her senses could be a bit duller and that she'd be unable to move or heal as quickly. I also thought that attempts to use her senses (such as trying to focus her vision on something too far away) could result in a negative physical effect, such as migraines or vertigo. IC PERMISSIONS physical affection: She'll be cagey about it unless she's come to know you well enough. flirting: You can try. relationships: Yes, with some establishment. sex: Yes. fighting: Yes. injury/death: Yes to injury, no to death just yet. psychic information: She has no way to guard from this but would react very negatively to it being done to her. triggers: Physical, psychological, and sexual abuse and exploitation, especially involving children; she's likely to get angry if these are brought up but won't necessarily shut down, just be furious. OOC PERMISSIONS time zone: EST rp style: I can do brackets or prose (generally I prefer brackets) and try to tag back a few times a week, usually in the evenings and occasionally throughout the day. contact: Through PMs. backtagging: Yes! I'll keep going for as long as you want. I'm good with handwaving too but would prefer a discussion regarding what happens if a thread ends up being dropped. offensive subjects: Ask if you're unsure. There are things that can be brought up to me that I won't necessarily want to play. If you yourself would like to opt out of bringing up certain topics or if you'd like to opt out of tagging with her altogether, feel free to PM me or let me know here (comments are screened and IP logging has been turned off).
