Name: Bridget Reyanne Kayos (goes by Kayos)
Age: 23
Gender: female
Location: Marquette

Supernatural Affinity
Type:

Ex-Willworker

Powers:

Power(s): Teleportation: Kayos can teleport. She can do it most easily with just herself, though she can open up portals to teleport other people. Mostly she does this through the help of her familiar, she generally teleports by use of coordinates. If she sets up specific 'drop' points, they're easier for her to send people, but she needs to set them up here yet. She does not have the ability to know automatically where she is(unlike psychic teleporters), and she does not have a magical coordinates map in her brain. She needs help with it from her familiar, unless it's those specific drop points she has in reserve. If Teddybear is helping and hands her the right coords, she can get things done in a heartbeat, but cut off from his aid and she'll be a lot less useful.

Corrosion: Kayos has the ability to corrode things around her. For example, she can speed up rusting on metals, paint'll flake off the walls, rotting will set in and occur rapidly. She can push this and break things down.

Electricity: Kayos has a hold on electricity. It's the only form of energy she still has a grip on, the only one she can still manipulate. It means she can re-route it from things around her and zap people if she has to(and hey isn't that flashy?) or she could say, hold a power surge back to protect her laptop from frying.

Appearance:

A pretty young woman with long blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a ready smile, Kayos generally speaking has a sort of natural spark to her. Clothing-wise she wears whatever strikes her mood, and that style can be anything from punk to drab military surplus. She's never caught without her laptop and her little bluetooth cell/mp3 player/com/etc seems to be permanently attached to her ear.

Personality:

For someone who just left a crumbling reality, she's a very 'let's look on the bright side!' sort. While not stupidly optimistic, she retains hope, and that's something she very tenaciously holds onto. She doesn't want to be a downer to anyone, though in serious times, she can most certainly drop the bubbly act. She has a good sense of when to push and when not to. Kayos is someone who's very interested in the people around her, and tries her best to get to know them. This is something that's kicked in even more now, since she's just 'arriving' and all, and she wants to have a good grasp of the people here. She wants to know who needs help and who doesn't, and who can be of help and who can't.

Her head is at once an organized place, and fairly chaotic. She's the type who can roll with a situation very well. Even stressful situations she can go with on a moment's notice, no questions asked--she'll just need a time out later to process. She tends to categorize people, with their own neat little labels in her mind.

History:

Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She didn't have that spectacular a life in her first eight years on the planet. Then she met Doc. And while that meeting was hailed with gunfire among other things, it did change the course of her existence. It started with a deal. Doc would help look after her, and she would change his 'identity' every few weeks, to keep people hunting him off of his ass. This worked well. And while fighting the good fight was definitely going on--Doc was very firmly against her involvement in it unless it was safely away from anything like gunfire.

So, she grew up as first Doc's ward--and eventually his partner. She was involved in as much as she could be, but he was adamant that she not even be allowed near the real fight until she was sixteen. That held true, and she got good at being able to help out a situation while not in the middle of it.

Things went downhill in the world though. The supernatural started coming more and more to light, the fight got closer to home. She got involved, they lost a lot of friends, some they never did find out what happened to them. They fought the good fight, but it didn't pan out. Everything pretty much crashed and burned--including Doc.

He died in a fight, not necessarily something that was a huge blaze of glory. He just took one bullet too many, and Kayos knows a few of them had had her name on them. He died on the battlefield, and while she finished the fight(and doesn't remember most of it), there wasn't much she could do afterwards. Too many people died, things were steadily falling down into apocalyptic anarchy.

She drifted back, falling back into old hideouts they'd had over the years, unsure what to do. And that's when Spider showed up. Spider had been a part of their crew from the beginning. He'd been there, and then one day? He disappeared. But he showed up again when she was alone, trying to exist in a world where she didn't have anything left to fight for. She was told that she was needed elsewhere. That the fight might be over here, but someplace else? It was just getting started. That she had a choice--even if she never saw it that way. There was no choice. If she could go somewhere else? Help out? She was going to.

So, with Spider's help, she made the jump. And now she's got to deal with this world, and everything in it. She's been in town for a few months now, not very long, but long enough. Doc, who she'd figured she'd be spending most time with, has his own job to do and so he isn't around so much. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have other things to do, like help out her friend Hunt, who's a little crazypants.

Special abilities and skills:

Kayos is a great shot with her revolver. Beyond that, she's a hacker. If it's computer related, she can deal with it. She can fix it, and if she can't fix it she can find a way around it. She works extremely closely with her familiar Teddybear to help her in this, but even without him she knows what she's doing. She's the kind of girl who has back doors written into programs just in case, and has ways into encrypted file systems because it was fun at the time, and one never knows when you really need to find out what the CIA knows about you. She helped out quite a bit in setting up Marquette's intranet.

Weaknesses:

permanent paradox - due to the massive reality shift she did to get here, Kayos is kind of permanently fucked over on the whole paradox side of things. Reality and she aren't the best of friends anymore, and so there are effects that she can no longer help, and she can't turn off. One of these effects is that any clock she's within ten feet of stops working. It doesn't die, it just won't keep time anymore. It'll just randomly switch up what time it says. This doesn't mean it changes every minute--because minutes aren't kept any longer by any means. It means you need a new clock. This can't be fixed, and doesn't only effect digital clocks. About the only thing that'll survive a brush with her is a sundial. (this has also effected her familiar, who's none too impressed with it. he now has to check the time from other sources than his own internal clock, which is now fucked.)

The second huge impact this is having on her life is she made the jump--but doing so has screwed her over. She knew it would likely be a one-way-trip and all, but that's most certainly the case, no doubt about it. She can't ever go back. In fact, she can't ever hop anywhere else, period. She's stuck here, come hell or high water.

Third off is not only has she burned out her ability to impact time in the way she wants to, it still messes with her--only without her say so. Time occasionally warps around her, either slowing down or speeding up, within a sphere of influence (never more than 10 feet). For example, things may slow down around her. If that's happening and she needs to be someplace fast? That's just not going to happen, is it. Until it's done, she's stuck in a slower timeframe than anyone else. It's almost like videogame slow-mo action, only without the cool perks. Mostly it's irritating and hey, could wind up fatal if she gets hit with something at the wrong time. If she's stuck moving slower, she's going to make a very pretty target for someone, and if she's moving faster, she could be in the very wrong place at the wrong time when time catches up with her again. During these times she can't properly interact with anyone, either. Speaking to someone while you're running at a different speed is nearly impossible to really work with. It could work to her advantage a little if time speeds up for her, but even then it's random, and in most situations would only prove a hindrance.

The smallest (time)effect is that Kayos has no sense of time anymore herself. This is mostly irritating, but yes, she's got no concept of it. She used to be able to pinpoint the time down to miliseconds, but with all of her time willworking ability burned out, ha! She's got none left at all. This means she'll need to be told directly if you want her to be someplace at a certain time, or even if you want her to be someplace in twenty minutes, or whatever fill in the blank timeframe. She can't gauge it on her own.

Kayos has not retained all the abilities she once had. The jump has also cut her off from any contacts she had in the spirit world, something she used to have a lot of. Now if she's getting anything from there they need to come to her. Also, as opposed to having a broader spectrum of abilities like other willworkers, it seems that Kayos's abilities are much more pinned down. Where the world was at her fingertips...not so much anymore. She's still got abilities that're much better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick--but she isn't nearly the powerhouse she used to be. She also isn't able to learn more, she isn't able to improve upon the abilities she's got now. She's stuck with the few effects she retained, and that's it. Reality really really isn't cooperating with her anymore.

So, she's not from here. She isn't from anything weird like The Future or anything, but she's from a different place. A different, diverged timeline. Which means she's not from around here. It's going to take her a little while to get used to that fact, even if she keeps it in mind. For instance, in her world? She never went batshit insane, killed herself...oh yeah and she certainly didn't have children. She also has to get used to her familiar. She's always had him, but she couldn't take the one from her timeline and keep him intact(there was already one here, so who knows what happened to her version of Teddybear). Whatever happened, she's got the one from this timeline, and the knowledge-base isn't exactly full-share. This has also caused a bit of glitching for the poor familiar, the effects of which aren't fully known yet.

Just because Kayos can't work like other willworkers anymore doesn't mean she doesn't get the bitchslap if she does too much like other willworkers. And unfortunately, Kayos' abilities that she retained are pretty much all flashy, attention-grabbing shit. There isn't a whole lot she can do that would be considered subtle.

short circuiting - Kayos is a fairly stable cookie. However, if she does go off the rails, her abilities go off the rails with her. They'll have a running effect going, which is very destructive and she's got no control over it during this time. No one really wants to know what happens if she's walking down the street, shorting out powerlines above her and that kid on the bike that was trying to ride past her just suddenly gets teleported to Taiwan. It only shuts down if she's rendered unconscious, or calms down, and generally speaking with all of that going on around her--it's not very calm-inducing. If she isn't shut down from this form of short circuiting, it could easily spell her death.

the weight of the world - She's already played this game once and they lost. This is her one and only shot to make up for that, and she knows it. She was picked out to do this by an old friend and she doesn't want to disappoint, even if she often secretly feels like she's not up to the task. But she needs to try.

Strengths:

Kayos is wicked smart. It was what set her apart as a child, and still sets her apart now. She's sharp, though often times she plays that down deliberately. She's seen a lot. She's watched her own reality crack around her, and she means to stop it from happening here. It's hard to ruffle her feathers.

She's a loyal girl. She'll have patience and be there for anything her loved ones need her for, even if it's inadviseable to her.
