Basics
Name: Lauren Lisbeth Mond
Nicknames: Laura, Elle, Lis, Lissy, etc.
Age: 17
Birthday: March 23, 1998
Grade: 11th
Powers:
Major Power - Celerity
Lauren's unique cellular structure has the capacity to release concentrated amounts of bio-energy to accelerate her nervous system's reaction time and transmission speed. In the long-term, the passive increase to transmission speed cause Lauren's perception of time to be far slower than others around her. That's not to say she "sees faster" than others, but what appears to happen in a fraction of a second to others, she is able to observe for much longer periods (on average, 1 second of perceived time to an average person is equal to 25 seconds of perceived time to her).
In short term uses, larger levels of bio-energy can be released into not just her nervous system, but also into her musculature and bone structure, allowing her body to speed up to roughly the same level as her mind's perception speed. These bouts of enhanced speed greatly drain away her potential energy in any given time, though, and as such, she is only able to maintain this state for 2 minutes before resting for at least an hour.
While this seems powerful in its own right, the power has it's major drawbacks. One of the key things about the power is that her capacity to interact with the physical world around her is fairly limited. While she can seemingly perform "magic tricks" like grabbing someone's key or notebook from a pocket, the speed she is travelling does not convey any extra impact. Not only that, but the level of momentum, inertia, stopping power, and other damaging effects from physical or energy-based attacks are unaffected and, as such, are still devastating to encounter. This is due to the fact that her "perception" of reality is altered, not the actuality of reality.
Not only that, but there is a unique level of detriment to her psyche if she isn't careful. As her perception of time doesn't change the duration of sustained effects on her, this causes mental attacks to become especially effective at shutting her down. The intensity of most attacks tends to wane over time, meaning that most mental attacks affect her conscious mind for far longer at their full strength. Generally, her mind tends to lock up, causing her to collapse or fall unconscious from the extreme stress if the attack is strong enough, while regular-strength effects seem more potent against her.
Minor Power - Continual Recovery
Lauren's unique bioenergetic properties not only accelerates her physically and mentally, but they also rejuvenate her natural mental and physical energy, even while awake. In short, Lauren has no direct need for sleep and can recover her stamina far quicker than most. Even if she is physically active, be it running, boxing, climbing, or the like, for extended periods and nearly drained of stamina, she only ever needs to rest for a short while (about 15 minutes after fully exerting herself) before she returns to 100% effectiveness. However, she doesn't gain any real expansion of her physical limits, nor does it grant any real boost to her resistance to effects, both physical and mental.
Member Group: Neutral
Canon or not: Yeeeaaa-No. Not really, no.
Appearance: Many of Lauren's distant family have aptly described her as "a gem whose luster is dimmed only by her meekness." The 5'4" blonde's appearance does lend to this statement, though. Her appreciation for athletics has lent her with slender, lightly toned legs and arms, which she makes effective use of on a daily basis. Her sapphire blue eyes, accented by almost-too-thin lips, grace her face with a subtle beauty. And, while she is quick to brush it off, her physique has lent her a fairly feminine body, with soft but noticeable curves.
As for her attire, Lauren's clothing all depends on her mood or plans for her day. More often than not, she'll be found in track clothes with a tank-top over-shirt, though if she's feeling particularly "girly" (her words), it's quite possible to find her in an elegant dress, usually colored rose-red or orange, with the possibility for a skirt if the length of said dress isn't to her liking. Every so often, though, she'll dress up in a rather normal t-shirt and blue-jeans combo with an old vest her father gave her on her last birthday. This sort of casual attire is what she tends to wear for her "study" time, in the event she has a report or project due.
Personality
Use at least six positive and negative characteristics and give a one sentence explanation. Also include at least one strength and one weakness.[/b]- It takes a lot to bring Lauren down emotionally, though this does not make her naive. She simply is very high-spirited.
Positive:
* Considerate- Lauren is always willing to be a shoulder to cry on to most anyone. If you ever needed someone to talk to, she'll be there for you.
* Physically fit- Lauren not only is an army brat but she also spent most of her school life on the track. As such, she's got incredible stamina.
* Good memory- Once she's heard, seen, or learned something, it's tough for Lauren to forget. Most people joke that it would take her actively trying to forget something in order for that to happen.
* Wily- If she really feels like it, it can become hard to follow Lauren. She's got a sharp wit when she wants to have it. Just be sure you know what you're getting into if you try to mess with her.
* Good swimmer- It may be obvious, given how physically active she is, but to be sure it is noted, Lauren's also a talented swimmer. In fact, one is just as likely to find her doing laps in the pool as she would on the track.[/ul]
Negative:
* Not strong- Yes, it's a given that she's in shape and fit and all that, but assuming she is really strong is a fallacy. I mean, sure, her lower body is toned really well, but she isn't a weight lifter or anything, so no tough punches.
* Indecisive- Never let her be the final vote on anything, especially tie-breakers. Lauren sometimes forgets that, just because she has all the time in the world to think doesn't mean anyone else does, and tends to spend too much time on one subject.
* Overthinks- Also part of that indecisiveness is the fact the she generally overthinks things. A lot of times, the solution will be right in front of her, but she misses it completely.
* Oddly susceptible to illness- While she's normally careful to not expose herself to unnecessary germs, Lauren's immune system is slightly compromised. Something about her genes just don't like her, it seems.
* Holds onto grudges- While not highly likely to hold a grudge on anyone, once she does, it's almost there permanently. In many ways, she can be vindictive. [/ul]
Likes:
* Athletics- I'm pretty sure it's obvious at this point, but the girl loves sports and athletics. She loves them so much that she practically eats, drinks, and breaths athleticism when she's fired up.
* Teasing- As for her more adventurous side, Lauren likes to be a total tease, even outright flirt. Ironically, though, if she's got a crush on you, she's more likely to flirt with someone else, just to get a reaction out of you. (It's her way of knowing where you stand with her)
* Honeydew Melon- Of all the things she could crave, Honeydew melon is the big one. It was a common fruit she ate all her life, and she wouldn't pass it up for just about anything.[/ul]
Dislikes:
* Dislike- Optional explanation
* Dislike- Optional explanation
* Dislike- Optional explanation; More can be added[/ul]
