Sam Lowenthall [Approved 4-1]

"Never had a chance in Hell."

Basics

Name: Samantha Lowenthall
Title: Energizer Bunny
True Age: 24
Gender: Female
Height: 4'11"
Weight: 52kg

Personality: Sam is, for the most part, a rather strange combination--energetic hardass. She takes her modelling job pretty damn seriously to say the least, and yet at the same time she doesn't seem to have that 'model' atmosphere to her. She walks with a rather casual gait, and she certainly doesn't starve herself at all--in fact, she eats a damn hell of a lot more than your average 4'11 petite thing. It probably goes to her boobs. She'll say that, anyway. When you see Sam in the modelling world, she's a little spitfire. Shouting at those who need to be shouted at. Snapping at the right people, comforting the ones who need it. Sure, she does this on a daily basis in the agency. Sure, she's a bit of a bitch when it counts. But when it comes to her daily life? Well.

She's a Tsundere. First thing you gotta know about Sam. If she likes you, she's not going to tell you that easily. Secondly, watch what you say about her height. Being only 4'11, she has something of a complex about it. It's bad enough in the modelling world for her to have to hear it outside of there. If you're gonna taunt her about her height, be prepared for the worst. That's the easiest way to explain it, and it won't be explained further. She'll beat a man for looking at her funny, and then apologize for her fist getting in the way of his walking and leave it at that.

She's an incurable romantic, and--if she lets you get close enough to her--will be happy to go on long walks along the beach, or let you take her out to a film and the like. She just likes to put up that angry front in order to weed out the creeps and cruel ones. As well as this, she doesn't like men. It's not even a question of being bisexual--men aren't her thing, and they won't be. Part of it is to do with being a model and having to be used to misogynistic cat-calling and the like. The rest of it is just personal preference, and she isn't against telling you that herself. She's also a little kinky, but that's because she likes using shocks (I wonder why).

Qi Abilities

Type: Jìnéng

Abilities:

Dynamo Habit: To put it in quite simple terms, Samanatha works as if she were a dynamo, in a way. Her body is consistently gathering electrical energy, especially through the use of friction to generate static electricity. As she continues to gather this energy, the Qi in her body melds with it and forms what are known as 'Charges'. She can store up to fifty of these Charges, and each of them are equal to approximately one second's worth of movement (she can gather up to six charges a post). Sam starts her threads with Zero Charge. As Samantha's body continues to gather up electricity, her eyes change from blue to yellow. When she has her full 50 Charges, her eyes glow bright and electric--they can be seen in the dark. The majority of her abilities consume Charges on activation. She can consume a single charge to give herself one more minute of movement energy.

S.M.A.R.T: An acronym for "Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain". Effectively, this passive ability means that there are never any real obstacles in Sam's path. As long as she keeps moving, she is able to smoothly navigate all stationary obstacles in her path and find the best way through whatever route she is attempting to run, without actually having to think about it. S.M.A.R.T also allows for Sam to traverse walls and other vertical surfaces with ease, using the static and a careful manipulation of the magnetic fields nearby in order to run up the surface. No Charges are consumed in order to allow S.M.A.R.T to be used.

Locational Knowledge: Due to her body being a conduit for electromagnetic energy, Sam always knows where North is relative to her position.

Incremental Speed: In addition to S.M.A.R.T, Sam has another movement-based ability. As long as she keeps moving her body, the frictional build-up and constant addition of charge to her self means that as she moves, she slowly begins to go faster. Although there is a limit to this, it's at about three times the sprinting speed of world-class sprinters. However, this is reset if Sam comes to a complete stop in movement.

Zap!: The simplest of Sam's discharge powers. A touch-based electrical discharge that can send an electric shock through the body of a target. Damage dealt depends on Charges consumed upon activation.

- One Charge: In the right place, this is actually really pleasurable.
- Two to Five Charges: Hurts a little.
- Six to Nine Charges: Hurts a lot.
- Ten to Fifteen Charges: You've been tazed.
- Sixteen+ Charges: The more consumed above sixteen, the more damage is dealt towards death.

Lightning Bolt: Upon activation, Sam sends out a bolt of lightning that goes in the direction that she's pointing. It travels in a straight line until it hits a conductor, hopefully a human. Damage dealt increases by 10% for every consumed Charge. One Charge's worth will burn paper. Fifty Charges' worth will disintegrate a normal human.

She is yet to discover the rest of the uses for her powers. More to be added as she grows.

Past & Roleplay Sample

Character Background: Sam was born to a pretty rough family life in Queens, NYC. Her parents weren't very rich, and as such she had to get by on her wiles in order to survive. By the age of five, she had mugged her first man--only after watching him mug some old lady for her purse--and by the age of seven, her powers first developed. Her parents noticed that, after she'd been running for a long time, she had bright glowing yellow eyes instead of her usual blue ones. Obviously, this would be pretty confusing for most parents--so they took her to a doctor, who discerned that she wasn't normal.

He gave them a number to call, and Sam was guaranteed a Hephaestus scholarship to be called upon when she turned twelve. Until then, it was asked that Sam not be made too angry--but that happened. Whenever she got angry enough, electrical goods near to her started to spark and fizz. They couldn't get rid of her fast enough--they still loved her, but their insurance didn't quite cover "angry little girl electrical storms". She went to Hephaestus and studied for many years, slowly but surely learning about and developing her abilities. By the time she reached twenty years of age, she was told that she could either remain at Hephaestus to refine herself further--or she could leave. She chose to leave and returned to the States--but she didn't go home.

She moved to California, and found herself in the acting and modelling world. Her attitude instantly got her well-received, and she has starred in several up-and-coming Hollywood films, all the while continuing to develop herself, both as a powered human and a person in general. Now if only she could find a lover to bring into her home...
