Super alias: None—she doesn’t do anything that would require aliasing
Gender/Sex: Female
Age: 19
Height: 4’11”
Physique: Overall very slender and rather pale. She has noticeably bad iron blood content and circulation which—if you look closely—makes the color of her skin a little uneven, to the point of being a little splotchy sometimes. Her fingers are very long and thin. Her general build is of someone tall, slender, statuesque—except that it’s sized down by a third or so and thus has none of the imposingness that would have gone with it otherwise. She’s about ninety three pounds or so. Her face is distinctly round in a Russian sort of way, although her eyes are almond-shaped—far more Native American of some kind than Eastern European.
Costume description: Again, none—unless you count work clothes of heavy-duty jeans (sometimes overalls). She wears glasses
Powers/Abilities: Some minor telekinesis—must be line-of-sight, and generally limited to weight she could support naturally. She can ease picking something up, for instance, if she couldn’t pick it up naturally, but she can’t just toss it around. EG: two people are lifting a heavy bookcase. Especially if she’s the one touching it, it’ll just be noticeably lighter, seemingly, because she’ll be able to counter the gravity some. Mostly it’s useful in an engineering context. There are two exceptions to the line-of-sight clause: if it’s within about two-arms-length of her and she can clearly and distinctly visualize the mechanical components involved, she can operate that. (For instance, if she’s standing in front of a mirror wrestling with a contact and the shower is three feet behind her, if she can clearly visualize the knob she can turn it on to let it get hot while she gets ready.) The other minor exception to the line-of-sight is that she always, always manages to get her hands on a few key items when needed: a Leatherman knife, a piece of brick slap bent into a kind of L-shape, her student ID card, a pocket screwdriver, and a bouncy ball. (Unfortunately, she isn’t so lucky with her keys.)
Home City: Mercury City
Citizen Alias: Robin Elisa Liebowitz
Backstory: Always a little artsy as a child, and with a bad habit of singing along with all the musical theater people without ever actually auditioning, almost everyone expected Liz (as she likes to be called) to go to an art school. However, being the girl who had always helped build the sets, she displayed perhaps an astonishing degree of interest in something that shouldn’t have surprised anyone: architecture. Between that and her gift for mathematics, she applied to Mercury University with a view to a double major, in mathematics and architecture. She’s well aware of her little talent and mostly uses it to her advantage in work—there’s always that stubborn screw that needs to be jerked out, or the piece of wood which just need to be held in place while being fastened to the crossbeam. She is also part of the slight geek fringe—going more for the LARP and sci-fi than tabletop gaming or video games, although she’s always happy to play them (killing, when not real, is always fun). She’s also one of several friends who likes to poke around the strange and quiet places of campus, out of the way, and see if they’re not usable for awesome… well, hacks. Banners hanging from the ceiling, jokes or homages to their favorite things on display where all can see… Things like that. Telekinesis is really, really useful those times. As a side note, she and Cam Phillips-Astin are acquainted, as he used to live in the dorm she lives in, and over the past year they’ve become friends.
