<strong>NAME</strong>: Tess L. Coils<br/><br/><strong>NOM DE GUERRE</strong>: Megawatt<br/><br/><strong>PLAYER</strong>: Shadowfox89<br/><br/><strong>AGE</strong>: 16<br/><br/><strong>GENDER</strong>: Female<br/><br/><strong>SEXUAL ORIENTATION</strong>: Bi-curious.<br/><br/><strong>POSITION/GRADE</strong>: Student<br/><br/><strong>ORIGIN</strong>: Tess's powers are inherited, mostly from her father's side but also from her mother.<br/><br/><strong>RESIDENCE</strong>: Chicago, Illinois.<br/><br/>PARENTS AND RELATIVES OF NOTE: Nikolai "Thunderstruck" Coils (father, hero), Alana "Gearshift" Coils (mother, hero), Zakhary "Teravolt" Coils (paternal grandfather, semi-retired supervillain)<br/><br/><strong>POWERS</strong>:<br/>Major- Electrical generation. Tess can generate and manipulate an electrical field somewhere around the 1,600 volt range for extended periods of time, though she can put out ten times that for single strikes. She has to take sponge baths, however, as immersion in water will short her out for a brief period. This has some utility too, such as allowing Tess to arc weld with her fingertips, power electrical devices.<br/><br/>Minor- Hyper intellect. Tess can make herself smarter and think faster than any normal human. However, this requires her to "juice up" by an outside source of electricity. This also gives her invulnerability to electrical based attacks, as any such would simply hypercharge her mind. The downside to this is that overclocking her mind gives her a high, making her much more cheerful and outgoing than normal, and prone to taking actions that she normally might not.<br/><br/>The Appearance<br/><br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Blue-green with specks of yellow occasionally arcing through, as if lightning.<br/><br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: shoulder length wavy red<br/><br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 5'1<br/><br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 100lbs<br/><br/><strong>BODY TYPE</strong>: Small/thin<br/><br/>APPEARANCE: Tess is short and thin with a small chest. She usually wears a pair of khaki slacks and a white shirt. She carries a backpack around wherever she goes, filled with tools and a battery that she uses to charge herself up when need be.<br/><br/>Beyond the Image<br/><br/><strong>LIKES</strong>: Computers, books, keeping her mind occupied, mints, trying new things<br/><br/><strong>DISLIKES</strong>: Physical confrontation, water (shorts her out), arrogant people<br/><br/><strong>TALENTS</strong>: Tess is very good with her hands, having an interest in mechanics. She dreams of one day building her own armor suit, powered by her own electricity, but knows she currently lacks the aptitude or finances for such a thing.<br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER TRAITS</strong>: Tess is nerdy and shy, she would rather be working on a machine than partying with friends.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY</strong>: See character traits<br/><br/>History<br/><br/>The only daughter of her family, Tess always enjoyed having just enough attention. While her parents were always busy with their jobs, they never passed up the chance to encourage and push her forward. Of course, she was never told what exactly they did. Tess even had posters of both her parents hung on her bedroom wall for several years, going as far as having a crush at one point on her father's alter-ego (a fact which a very red faced Tess will vehemently deny).<br/><br/>For years, it seemed that Tess would never 'mature' into having powers as her parents had. She had not so much as shown an aptitude for electrical manipulation as her father was capable of, nor did she have the technical prowess or ingenuity of her mother. Of course, that changed recently when, during her sixteenth birthday, when her grandfather zapped her with enough electricity to kill a normal person. Of course, this supercharge had some side effects, none of which Tess remembered the next day.<br/><br/>Tess was promptly given an explanation on who exactly her parents were, who her grandfather really was, and what the hell just happened. Then her parents enrolled her in Nebula High and told her that she needed to learn how to control her powers, for her safety and the safety of everyone around her. And some mention about not nearly shocking to death anyone she kisses again.
