Background: It had been trauma that had woken her up. She saw the works of a demented artist lying out in the middle of a street one day, a twisted heap of blood and skin and crumpled bone left in all of it’s glorified pseudo-‘beauty’, as he had thought it was beautiful. His beauty was her breaking point. She shouldn’t have woken up so early that day. Things had been hard enough. Daddy had too many things to do at work, and Mommy was always at the salon or at work or at someplace that was never home, and her bigger brother hated her with a passion and always made it obvious. She thought she had finally gotten used to it, until she saw that girl, twisted into a position that wasn’t even anatomically possible. Then it all came tumbling down. She panicked, and she ran as fast as her little legs could take her. It didn’t strike her to go back into her home and hide under her bed, to run screaming for Daddy, to look for some help for the poor girl lying in the middle of the street, she just ran. And then they came after her. She didn’t know who they were, but it crossed her mind that they were trying to force her to do something. She didn’t want to hurt anyone, but they were going to hurt her instead if she didn’t. And then came others, people her age. They tried to hurt her. But something stopped them. It was always something, even though she never saw what it was....

Character Personality
She should’ve never been one of the neglected girls, no, she shouldn’t have. She was much too good for that existence. Naïve and unassuming, yes, but her heart was pure, and she didn’t deserve it. By Mommy, by Daddy, by big brother, by classmates, by teachers, by nearly everyone. A nobody. She was normal, yet she was something beyond that. She was special, had a mind and a heart that should’ve caught someone’s attention. Oh, she caught someone’s attention, but it wasn’t akin to anything she deserved. No. She shouldn’t be there. She’s just a normal kid. Leave her alone. Don’t make her do this. Please.

Powers and Abilities

Unconscious

  • Power: Emotion Control
  • Level: Superior
  • Kit Power Link: Mentalist
  • Advantage: Area Effect This attack causes damage in a large, circular area.
I dunno. She just seems too normal to be anyone special. I just left her alone right then and there. Well, she asked me too. She didn’t look right for this kind of thing. Didn’t seem important enough. She’s real tiny for a kid her age, fragile-looking. Elegant almost. No. I’m not going after her again. You’re not either. She shouldn’t be doing this. She’s just a normal kid. Leave her alone. Don’t make her do this. Please. No. Stop. I swear I’ll stop you myself if you go after her. Don’t you dare test me. I will hurt you if I have to....


Psychokinetic

Track her down and dart her. Now. The violent streak in some of the kids lately got me really worried, that’s all. Yes, I’m going to justify it like that. Just knock her out and take her home. Where’d you last see her? In the one marked ‘closed for renovations,’ right? Okay, slowly, don’t want to scare her anymore than she already is. Careful for the holes in the floor.... SHIT! What was that? Something fell from one of the upper stories. Maloney? Dammit! Hell no, she couldn’t have thrown him! You think a frail kid like her can throw someone three times her size? No f---ing way. Maybe he tripped, always was a clumsy bastard.... She screamed at him to stop, and he FELL backwards down the hole? You’ve gotta be KIDDING me....


Defense

  • Power: Force Field
  • Level: Superior
  • Advantage: Reinforced Defenses Defense blocks Armor Piercing attacks.
What?!! Who sent armed officers after her?! She’s my daughter, dammit! She can’t hurt anybody! She’s just a little girl, give her the benefit of the goddamned doubt! Just ‘cause one of your men tripped and fell is no goddamned reason to start shooting at her. Don’t give me that tranq-dart bullshit. Like I’m going to feel any better ‘cause you’re not using bullets, you’re still shooting at her.... What do you mean she stopped them? ...They just stopped, in the air, just like that. Not a single one hit her? ...Well.... I guess that makes me feel a little better....


Mechanisms

The family tree of the Parden Family, as well as genetic testing done on every single member mentioned, shows a trend of several forms of latent psychokineses. It’s not in the dominant genes, so I’m still surprised at how common it is within each family member. Some have one form, others have many, some are stronger, some are weaker, you get the general idea. Anywho, when any form of psychokinesis in the Parden family is triggered, it’s usually by stress. With the recent murder victim left lying right outside your house, and the recent rash of assaults amongst the younger age groups, I understand perfectly why she has stress. Yes, this does explain Mr. Maloney’s unfortunate ‘fall’, if you still want to sugar-coat it and call it that, through that hole in the floor of that renovated building. And why every single shot fired at her stopped within a seven-foot radius. And why those support beams collapsed and brought scaffolding down on that ass who hit her. Oh, almost hit her? My mistake. Now, I want you to take a look at this cerebral scan. It’s of Ashley compared to five of her other relatives. She’s fifteen, right? Yeah, this area’s more active in her than it is in the others, suggesting....


Psychokinetic Mending

  • Power: Healing
  • Level: Supreme
  • Kit Power Link: Mentalist
I... I didn’t mean to hurt you. It just happened. You scared me, you shot at me. I... I’m so scared, I just wanna get away from everything. No, don’t go! Don’t leave me.... You’re hurt? Where? Oh God, you’re, you’re bleeding real bad.... N-no, I don’t know any first aid. Just lie down. Please. It’ll only take a second. ......... There. You feel any better? Good. No! Don’t go! I... I don’t wanna be lonely again.... Please? Don’t leave me...


Imbued Emotional Freneticism

There she is. It’s Parden’s kid. Haven’t been able to track her down for days, not since some idiot sent armed officers after her. Send a telepath in, try and subdue her. Now, before she runs away again, or before another one of those freaks tries to kill her. Kids have been getting too violent these days... Whaddaya mean she’s running away again?! Stop her! Why didn’t the telepath do anything? Said she’s too frantic to be subdued properly? Well, that’s a load of crap....
