Height: 5'9"
Weight: 115 lbs
Other: Her hair is long, reaching down to her mid-back. Marina wears a full bodied black suit that fits to her curvy form, which has removable gloves and has a crimson stripe up the sides. This suit is her safegaurd to make sure she won't hurt anyone unintentionally. On her feet she wears black combat boots.
===POWERS===
Powers: My touch is deadly. My touch is power. I am a monster. I am no one's weapon. Marina has the power to cause horrific and debilitating pain with skin to skin contact. This is pain enough to bring someone to their knees, and keep them there for a good long while. Only Marina can break this contact between herself and her victim. Along with her painful touch she has the enhanced ability to punch through concrete walls, metal doors, and most other objects. Although these are offensive powers, she is extremely opposed to using them without needing to. She is also immune to high amounts of radiation. (NOTE: Her super strength power pertain to situations when force is applied as follows: Punching, kicking, hugging, gripping, and other actions of the like. Marina does not currently lift heavy mass weights, but these powers will come in time with intense practice.)
Weaknesses: › First and foremost, she is terrfied of her own power, since she leans more towards the good side of the neutral axis on her moral compass. Her power, seeming more suitable to torture, absolutely disturbs her.
› She has no experiance with battle, and therefore is currently useless in the way of tactical fighting.
› A part of her enjoys to see people writhe in agony due to her touch, causing a deep phsycological instability within her.
› She has a very... strange physical weakness. As well as being a threat in the way of touching others, she can also be affected by her own power. She wears a sapphire embedded in a pendant that hangs around her neck on a strong chain. If this were to be removed, touching others would inflict the same agonizing pain on her as it does would on her victim. The jewel was embued with energy that would draw in and absorb the powers reverberating back into her.
› Although this is limited, there are certain people who are immune to her seething touch, but there are certain restrictions to this rule. The only ones immune are those who she feels she can trust with her very life. This causes a delicate balance of trust.
===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===
Likes: She appreciates it when people recognize her powers and do not shy away from her as if she were a virulent disease.
Dislikes: When people try to take advantage of her cruel abilities to use them to reach their own personal ends.
Strengths: Her strengths lie in literature; such as novels and poetry.
Skills: She is an excellent jewelry crafter, and is also able to craft other such three-dimensional arts.
Equipment: She carries no equipment, since she does not fight.
Habits/Quirks: She does not have any notable quirks.
Personality: Due to the matter of her abilities conflicting with her moral alignment, she often seems lost, or unsure what to do with herself. Dispite this she still retains the darker side of her, which only rears it's merciless head when she uses her power. This darker side spreads like a virus in her heart whenever she makes use of her power of skin contact torture, causing her to feel the slightest twinge of pleasure and enjoyment within her. When around others she is cautious, and is constantly checking to make sure that no one accidently brushes against her hands when she doesn't have her gloves on. When alone she is relaxed, since being alone is the only way she doesn't have to worry about hurting others.
===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===
Family: Unknown.
Place of Origin: A place called "The Reestablishment."
Current City: Jump city.
History: (Oh boy... I'm going to keep this short and develope it along the storyline.)
It has been 269 days since I was first locked in this cell. 269 days since someone has touched their skin to mine. 269 days since I tried to help that child, who's mother was cruel, and far too young to be responsible for a toddler. 269 days since I tried to help the fallen toddler stand, and the world came to know the horror of my power. I had forgotten myself that day. Forgotten my gloves. I was disgusted. So disgusted with the blatant irresponsibility that I forgot. I have not left The Reestablishment in 269 days, and in that long I have not seen hide nor hair of any other human beings.

Today is day 270. I am free. Jump City is my new home. This is where I will start over. This is where my story will unfold.Sample RP Day 271. Today is the day that I officially begin my new life. I will not forget my powers. Jump city will be my Omega Point, it will be where my story unfolds, and someday, end. Marina stepped out onto the street from her new apartment building. She began renting the apartment 270, to remind herself. Every day she would remember, so that she would never have to return to a cell. Her first real step onto the sidewalk on jump city was indeed a memorable one. It seemed there was a parade, a long procession of men and women dressed on colorful costumes. After observing for a short while she chuckled. "Well, isn't this city all that and a bag of chips..." Speaking to herself attracted some attention from the peanut gallery, but she had been detached for so long that she hadn't recalled yet that speaking to yourself was generally socially questionable. (OOC: Sorry it's short.)
NOTE: All the things in Italics in the history is Marina speaking about herself. I thought it would be a cool idea, since it might be easier to hear about her powers 'firsthand.' If this is strange, and you'd like it changed, I'll gladly do so. :3
