Before you get eaten you should know...

Complete Character Description:

Nikita stands at an average height of 5’6”, and weighs around 120lbs. Her hair is a golden blonde, and touches the middle of her back. It has a natural wave to it, and she never straightens it. It’s typically up in a high ponytail, with stray pieces falling about her face and getting in her way. Her eyes are a pale blue, almost gray and framed by dark long eyelashes. Her skin is pale, and sometimes she has issues with breakouts. But she tries her best to keep her skin as blemish free as she possibly can, however, the occasional pimple will mar her skin. Although she might not weigh much her body is toned, and has a nice womanly curve to it.

Nikita has two tattoos; the Japanese kanji for magic on her left hip and two interlocked hearts on the inside of her ankle, her parents initials are inside one of the hearts. She has a mole, right above the waistband of her pants on her right side.

Personality:

Nikita isn’t at all like her code name suggests; she’s a sweet, caring, kind young woman who would do anything for those that she cares about. She prefers to spend time alone right before a job, listening to music (she actually prefers rock, techno, or folk) or something of that matter. She’s often quiet, listening to what other’s have to say before putting her two cents in, or waiting to see if they even want an opinion. Nikita has an animalistic side, due to her mutation; she can become territorial over food, her space, and so on. So a quiet growl from the girl isn’t anything to get upset over, just give her a bit of space. One look at her room, one can tell she has an artistic streak. Abstract as it might be, it’s still art to her, and there have been several occasions where she’s walked out of her room with smears of paint across her forehead. When she’s distressed, upset, or just thinking far too much she’ll pull out her paints and add something to the massive mural on her walls. Her artistic streak follows through to her acting skills; she’ll change her attitude/actions/clothing in the blink of an eye to fit the role she has to play to get information.

She’s lost in her own little world a lot, which when someone pulls her out of her little world she typically freaks out a little bit. Ever wide eyed, the girl isn’t as innocent as most believe her to be. She likes to kick back, and relax with a glass or two of spirits and just generally have a good time. When she drinks, or becomes drunk her true nature comes through. She didn’t always used to be so quiet, only with her parents recent deaths did she pull into herself. She’s more talkative, flirty, and fiery like her mother.

Weakness(es): Shoes, animals, pretty little shiny trinkets, jealousy, and a sometimes feral nature.

Strengths: Her ability to shift into different types animals, listening, acting, and painting.

Talents and Hobbies: Painting is something that she loves to do. She may not appear to be talented to others, but she does enjoy doing it for herself. Dancing alone in her room is also something else she enjoys doing. She’s a great actress, telling whoever their target is what they want to hear and giving them what they want. Be it sex, a kind word, or just a flirty nature.

All you need to know

Background:

One night, a mutant named Joe Robinson was out on the town with a few of his buddies. He was a respectable man, a lawyer who wasn’t corrupted by the sight of dollar signs. They went to a bar to celebrate a victory that Joe had just had, and the alcohol flowed for the friends. A sultry, husky voice filled the air with the most beautiful sound that Joe had ever heard. On the small stage in the corner of the smoky bar there was a blonde haired beauty, holding the microphone and singing to Joe’s very soul.

Joe fell in love.

After she finished her set, Joe excused himself from his friends and went over to the woman who’d moved to the end of the bar. He asked if he could join her, and the woman just smirked and shook her head. She told him to move along, that she wasn’t his cup of tea as far as she could tell. Joe, being himself, lifted a shoulder and told her that he liked his tea strong and hot. Amused by him, she allowed him to join her. The two struck up a conversation, and Joe learned that her name was Ivy Carmichael. The two stayed at the end of the bar, talking until closing time. Ivy gave Joe her number, and the next day the two had a date.

They became inseparable, for the most part, and Joe learned that Ivy, like himself, was a mutant. After a two year courtship, the two finally married in a large ceremony that encompassed their friends and family.

The two lived by themselves for two more years, Joe still working on his cases and Ivy singing whenever she had the chance. Joe’s birthday came, and Ivy handed him a small box. Inside was a pregnancy test, with two very distinct lines. They were going to be parents, and both of them were excited to become such.

Seven months later, little Nikita was born. She was a quiet baby, more than Ivy and Joe could’ve hoped for. Joe spent as much time as he could at home, reading to his little girl and playing with her. Ivy would play the piano, and sing to her. They both wondered what sort of mutation Nikita would have, if she’d have any at all. Right before her third birthday, Joe was watching Nikita as Ivy cooked dinner for them. He watched her intently studying the TV as a nature program about Cheetah’s came on the TV. Joe didn’t think too much of it, until the next morning when he went to go get Nikita to prepare her for her party and found a little Cheetah cub in her place. Joe couldn’t believe his eyes, and carefully he picked up Nikita and carried her to Ivy, pride beaming on his handsome features.

Their daughter was like them, and it was ok. Joe and Ivy bought her animal books of all types, watching her as she’d shift into different forms. She could only hold them for small amounts of time, and Nikita would end up getting frustrated. Joe told her that like anything, it would take practice to hold the animal forms.

A year passed, and another addition was introduced into the family. Nikita’s little brother, Alexander. Each day, Nikita learned to control her powers better and better and she could hold four animal forms for long periods of time by the age of six.

School was hard for Nikita. She didn’t have many friends at all and was called terrible names by the kids in her class. She didn’t understand it, and her parents lavished her more with their love. Ivy and Joe talked about home schooling their daughter just so she wouldn’t have to be put though the teasing and taunting of her classmates. Nikita told them she’d rather stay in public school, and learn how to deal with it.

Years passed, Nikita still dealing with the teasing of her classmates. Her brother, who was a mutant like herself, didn’t have any of the problems that Nikita had. He was popular, and well liked. Alexander would come to his sister’s defense anytime anyone made a snide remark about her.

Their bond became closer, and Nikita didn’t have nearly as many issues. High school came, and Nikita met her first real friend. Julia was a mutant just like Nikita and her family. The two became close, and Nikita’s parents were happy that she’d found a friend.

Graduation came for the two girls, and then time for college. Nikita wasn’t sure where she wanted to go, and neither was Julia. Joe suggested that they take some time to tour the country, or go overseas and have a little fun.

The girls did as Joe suggested and toured Europe and Africa for the better part of a year. They worked small odd jobs to fund their needs, and stayed in Hostels to cut the cost. They returned home, finding Joe out of work and Ivy hurt. The city which the girls had grown up in had a new mayor, one who was afraid of mutants and thought that the annihilation of them should be top priority. They were ‘unnatural’, and ‘unnecessary’ and those two words struck a lot of fear into the people of the city. A law was passed that anyone who had a mutation were to come to City Hall and register as being Mutants.

The Robinson family did as they were instructed, and were met by a mob outside of the City Hall. Things were thrown at them; slurs of all kinds tossed around and insults that penetrated Nikita’s thin skin.

They did as they were told, registering and putting their mutations down on paper. As they went out of City Hall, the mob had grown and they were more angry and fearful than ever. Two men grabbed for a still injured Ivy, and shoved her into the crowd. Joe tried to go after his wife, and the two men blocked his path. He didn’t want to hurt them, but at the pained cries his beloved made, he used his powers and knocked them out of his way. As he started into the crowd, he yelled for Nikita to get Alexander out of there. The two siblings fled the scene, and returned home to an even worse scene.

Their home was burning to the ground, all of their precious possessions still inside being engulfed by flames. The two youngsters watched until Julia’s mother and father came by to pick up the two children. Something far worse had happened while they stood watching their family’s home burn.

Their parents had been killed. The police force had shot them on site for using their powers in a public place, something else that the new law forbidden. Nikita was in shock, and Alexander was angry.

Julia’s family offered to let the two young adults stay in their home, but Nikita declined. She didn’t want to bring any more misfortune to the only people that she had left in this world.

So along with her brother, they moved from city to city, town to town stealing little things here and there from those that Nikita would seduce. It was a terrible thing to do, Nikita knew this, but it was the only way that they could get by.

Nikita would chat up who ever their prey was for the night while Alexander would steal from them. On the rare occasion she would seduce them into bed, and while the man slumbered she would steal from them and take her bounty to Alexander.

Nikita felt empty inside, she felt used and older than her 20 years.

Two more years would pass before a chance at good fortune would happen upon the two siblings. They tried to steal from a member of Kings Ransom, and the mutant caught them. The two were told about the ship, and the chance of a lifetime for the two of them. They both went Nikita now 22 and Alexander barely 18. They’ve been on the ship a little under a year, and have never once thought of going back.

Abilities Due to Mutation : Nikita has the ability to shape shift into the following animals without any complications, and for long periods of time.

1. Cheetah
2. Ring Tailed Lemur
3. Macaw
4. Hyena
5. Raccoon
6. Raptor
7. Polar Bear
8. Golden Retriever Puppy
9. Squirrel
10. Arabian Horse
11. Capuchin Monkey

While she can change into different creatures, these eleven are the main ones she sticks with for the simple fact that she can hold these forms for long periods of time, about four hours. If she stays in this form for longer than four hours, she begins to take on animalistic traits of the animal she’s shifted into, and they will stick with her for at least a day after she’s managed to shift back into her human form. She has no idea what will happen if she’s shifted into an animal form for longer than eight hours, as that is the longest she’s ever been in one of her animal forms. She hopes that she never finds out.

Other animals that she can shift into, but has trouble holding the form for longer than thirty minutes at a time.

1. Gray Wolf
2. Bengal Tiger
3. Jaguar
4. Koala
5. Black Bear
6. Phoenix
7. Bald Eagle
8. Opossum
9. Red Fox
10. Kitten

When she shifts into an animal she must strip off all of her clothing as it will not shift with her. Just as when she shifts into an animal form, when she shifts back to her human form she’s naked. If she has to shift with her clothing on, she’ll typically change into something small to wriggle, or try to out of her clothing and then shift into a larger form if needed. She also has a small amount of telepathy only when in her animal form. She can only project her thoughts to others around her, or focus on a certain set number of people.
