    Nora Ann

    'CAUSE YOU'VE SEEN TOO MUCH

    TOO YOUNG

    Name: Nora Ann Eliana Copeland


    Nickname(s): She typically just goes by Nora, but her father still calls her by her full name


    Age: 15


    Gender: Female


    Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual


    Skills: Intelligent, good communicator, practical thinker, patient, light on her feet, can read people like a book


    Powers: Behavior Replication.

    \\Behavior Replication: Nora Ann has the ability to instantly learn and understand the temperament and behavioral patterns of any creature. By merely observing for a few seconds, she can learn every aspect on how that creature- be it animal or monster- eats, sleeps, communicates, socializes, or even attacks. However, learning the ins and outs of a creature is not so simple as freeing up some brain space. It's immersive, surrendering, and extraordinarily terrifying. It pushes and pulls, and if she wills it, it can intrude on her own mind. In just moments, Nora Ann can replicate the behavioral instincts herself. Though her appearance and physical abilities do not change, the way her mind operates does, but at a steep cost: her human behavior becomes completely dormant. It takes some time for Nora to recover once mimicking another creature, and once again revert to her human mind. Sometimes she can force it from one creature to another, but it is difficult and leaves her very unstable thereafter. Should she continue to push herself, reverting to her normal mindset could take hours, if not days.


    Personal Items: A snowglobe of New York City, a silver hairbrush, and a very durable chemical/fireproof jacket her father had specially made for her.


    Birthplace: Bloomfield Hills, Michigan


    Brief Appearance: Nora Ann is rather tall for her age, at 5'7" and still growing. Her hair is a soft auburn-red, and skin a light ivory. She is not very muscular, but has enough meat and muscle to not be scrawny. She also bears a jagged scar over her right eye from a past training incident.


    Backstory: From a young age, Nora Ann was groomed to be the perfect Drotik child. Her father has been a part of the Drotik project since its inception, and upon discovering his own child was one of the special few, prompty migrated the both of them to the headquarters in California. Coming from a wealthy family, Nora Ann always lived well, and had everything taken care of for her. She was always told how special she was, by her father and the high-class people he worked with. She was very, very important, they said. Her and the other children were destined for great things. Incidentally, following her father's orders was second nature. She did was she was told, and her father provided. That was their love. That is all she's ever known.


    Family [opt.]: Her father, Doctor Gregory Copeland, is the only family she has ever truly known. He has said on a few occasions that she has a brother back in Michigan. He has never mentioned her mother.


    Other: Muse- New Born

    elevator love letter absolutely! i was actually having a hard time simplifying it, lol. see what im really going for is the second ability that allows her to mimic them, but it just seemed like she would first have to learn how the act in order to act like them. see where it’s kinda funky? do you have any ideas on how to rework her while keeping the mimic thing making sense?


    and thank you! plot looks awesome! :D

    elevator love letter yes, i actually already put that second part in her description- her physical capability does not change, it is simply how her mind acts and reacts.


    i like the part about only mimicking motions she’s seen before. i was actually thinking of making her almost forget previous creatures until she can focus wholly on it again. granted, if she tries to mimic a tiger every single day, she’ll probably remember some things, but for the most part, she starts from scratch each time. she kinda blacks out for it all, i guess.

    LINK IT TO THE WORLD

    LINK IT TO YOURSELF


    "This mission is very important, Nora Ann."


    Nora Ann felt the heavy sleeves of her custom-made jacket slip on from behind her. Two large hands fixed her collar as Dr. Copeland prepared his prized subject. Nora was surprised then to see her father bend at the knee to look her in the eye. He was 'Doctor Copeland' first, and 'father' second, and she had never seen him do such a profound thing in the ways of interaction before, especially not in the lab.


    "I mean it Nora Ann. Your success with the others today could be the difference in saving the lives of millions."


    Nora nodded, the slightest hint of doubt absent from her heart. "Yes, father."

    The mutant rats let out a wretched cacophony of shrieks as they scattered across the sunken building. Nora Ann flinched at the sound, but showed no emotion otherwise. Her mind was already aglow with facts and details her years of schooling had taught her. They were intelligent prey animals, capable of swimming and climbing, and often formed hierarchies with one rat dominating the mischief. If hungry, they would eat just about anything, but were small enough that becoming their prey likely wouldn't be an issue. Hardly a threat.


    From the back of the group where she walked, Nora Ann wondered how useful her well of knowledge would apply to these creatures after their mutation. Hardly any lab tests in the abomination sector were successful, let alone yielded consistent results. There was so much they simply still didn't know. Nora couldn't imagine they would be all too different, but she had to prepare herself for anything.

    THE BITTERNESS INSIDE

    IS GROWING LIKE THE NEW BORN


    As she stood, Nora Ann couldn't tell if they were playing facetious, or legitimately naive. So innocent to as to be playing games, or to kick around chunks of radioactive concrete like they were tyke toys was, needless to say, a wake-up call for Nora Ann. They aren't like you. They are nothing like you, she told herself.


    She couldn't hide the disdain on her face when Charlie- what, was he their leader now?- called out to the crew. Like a camp counselor wrangling his little paychecks, he peered back behind the front group to Nora Ann's quietly kept shadow. Did he have that little faith in their ability? Their superiors practically paved their route for them! Keep your crayons between the lines, do your chores, listen to mommy and daddy and you'll get your candy. It was simple. Straightforward. And honestly, she and many of the other children could do better. This hole was kiddie stuff.


    Though she wouldn't admit it, Nora Ann knew they had some serious high-rank numbers in this group. Even for High-risk levels, they were stacked. Of course she didn't know all the details, but her father liked to talk. They deserved the challenge. The respect. But being leashed by Charlie only squandered that glory to a pathetic little consolation prize pulp.


    "Don't act so concerned," she deadpanned. It was the first time she had spoken all trip, and hopefully, the last. "If we didn't make it this far, we would have never been worth Drotik's billions of dollars in the first place"
