Backlash

HAIR COLOR: Blinding, bleach white with the exception of a few strands of black hair twisting and out of her ponytail and the sides of her head. Her eyebrows are streaked black and white accordingly.
Eye Color: Katarzyna’s irises are white, while the literal whites of her eyes would normally be are black. Her eyelashes are white as well.
HEIGHT: 5 ft. 3 in.
WEIGHT: 110 lbs.
OTHER: Kat is petite in build, but muscular. After her switch to the "dark side," Backlash’s skin is as black as the darkest pitch, blacker than a crow’s feathers, and bolder than the deepest corner of space, yet with an eerie, ethereal glow. She has sharp facial bone structure and slanted eyes, with her hair always pulled up in her signature high-top ponytail and slicked back tightly, tied with a tall, dynamic leather strip as the tip-of-the-iceberg accessory to her ensemble. All of Backlash’s clothes are made of black, gray, or white leather sewn in an oriental-meets-industrial fashion. She now wears a long, blinding white trench coat with a black zipper down the side and an ear-high collar that covers the bottom half of her face, tight, black leather skinny jeans, a pair of black biker gloves with silver studs on the knuckles, and buckle-up platform boots. She also has thirteen metal piercings in her left ear and five in her right ear, a bellybutton ring, and two eyebrow piercings on her right eyebrow.




ELECTROKINESIS: Backlash can control and harness lightning by use of her lightning whips, creating extreme-voltage blasts of lightning from each end of the whips' handles, but that is far from her true potential for destructive power; like any normal leather whip, Katarzyna's are strong, powerful, fast, stunning, and hurt like hell for anyone she hits them with, but instead of simple leather, hers are streams of lightning sparked with a potent streamline of genuine electroshock, combined with a chain of collapsable obsidian blades intertwined. She selected the obsidian because it is the sharpest mineral on Earth and can withstand extreme temperatures, ( i.e. her lightning ) was the most suitable non-metal she could find ( purposefully didn't choose metal blades, for they could be tampered via magnesis, whether it be hers or someone else's ) and is the sharpest mineral on planet Earth ( she would have traveled to interstellar locations, but alas, she cannot do such a thing. ) Katarzyna’s energy is stored in a compact generator attached to a harness that she wears on her torso. Her mechanical arm is also a source of electric energy. Along with wielding lightning, Backlash can teleport using its energy through long metal objects and wires (i.e. she's in a hot spot and needs to travel somewhere quickly, therefore so she'll put her hand on a power line and teleport using its electric fields.) She can only travel from place to place if there is an adequate source of electricity from where she was and where she's going.Her teleporting is limited to places with enough surrounding metal and electrical conductors; if the location is within the city limits, it roughly 10 seconds to teleport at Jump City's greatest limits. Within a distance of roughly the size of New York, travel times rage from around 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on how much energy is available. Nationally, most teleports take around 5 or 6, sometimes 7 minutes. The greatest length Katarzyna has traveled was from Jump City U.S.A. to her birthplace of Szczecin, Poland. This extreme was transversed through a carefully constructed plan, with launching and receiving sites being specifically built for this purpose. Kat cannot teleport to mid air or anywhere out of Earth's atmosphere.

'RED' – When Katarzyna gets really enraged or begins to reach the limit of her powers, her state of being launches into hyper-drive, a state in which she has practically no control of any of her abilities. This form can be easily identified not only by the created chaos, but as well as a transformation in the color of her eyes, hair, lightning, trench-coat (or whatever else she is wearing) from white to bright red. However, this overdrive is accordingly an extremely power-draining ability, causing Backlash to weaken both physically and emotionally. Also, while in the red state, her reasoning is totaled; Kat will attack absolutely anything and everyone if they get in her way.

MAGNESIS: Thanks to a quite familiar superhero lab and a highly advanced and potentially lethal weapon, S.T.A.R. Labs aided Backlash by literally equipping her with the ability to control or generate magnetism, also known as Magnesis. By combining mental endurance and physical strength, Katarzyna can shape and manipulate magnetic fields that exist both naturally and artificially, most often in common metals. However, by using this ability, Kat risks creating a potentially fatal reaction between the electricity flow within her veins and the magnetic charges in her brain; the north and south (positive and negative) poles of both forces often collide and repel, causing unstable electromagnetic waves to course through Katarzyna’s body. This occurrence happens rarely, but can range in results from memory loss, paralyzation, and even unconsciousness. The knowledge of this possibility is what keeps her from abusing the power.

PHYSICAL APTITUDE/ABILITIES:
Trained as a gymnast and a kick-boxer from a young age, Backlash is very agile and expert at hand-to-hand combat. Her training in each field has led her to be almost as strong and effective as an adult fighter despite her petite frame, a factor that she uses to both surprise enemies and as a form of secondary attacks when her electrokinesis and magnesis are not available, or when physical fights are better suited for whomever ( or whatever ) she's fighting. She has great stamina, is rather muscular for a sixteen-year-old girl, and is able to fight better than some athletes that have been doing so for longer than she has been alive. Additionally, she studied the martial arts of capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of fight, dance, rhythm and movement as a form of unpredictable and unconventional attacks. Backlash continues to practice and excel in all areas, especially gymnastics, as she is able to gain more access to gyms now that she lives in America. However, she still is only sixteen and has a long way to go and is by no means a master at these forms of physical offense.

WEAKNESSES: Noted duly above, one of Katarzyna's main weaknesses is her lust for power and inability to control the power she gets; her mental state is more of an inhibitor than catalyst for success. Like with any source of electricity, water is her worst enemy, and not just because it cancels out her electrokinesis; it's also a physical danger to her because what she relies upon most is electricity, in weapon and in body. Additionally, locations with little or no electrical currents are like a no-fly zone, a place she stays away from because she knows that if she enters that territory, she's at danger. Also, her petite build puts her at a disadvantage to stronger/bigger opponents. Other weaknesses include but are not limited to nature, ice, shape-shifters, cats, civilised society, being sincere, little kids, and an ego the size of Russia.

Additionally, after being brainwashed and controlled by her Zydon captors, Backlash was forced into her 'Red' state, ( see above ) causing her energy to be depleted quickly and her movements and attacks to be less precise even though her electric-based attacks are generally more powerful due to the high amounts of adrenaline. Her judgement is often impaired, as if her ability to use reason over rage. This state can be equated to a savage animal that has been wounded and is sensing that its death is near, which makes it act more savagely and erratically than usual. A decent summary of this comes from a quote by Allan Quatermain: "Old tigers, sensing the end are at their most fierce."



LIKES: mechanics • working on cars • kick boxing • MMA • video games • rough housing • dogs • winning • being right

DISLIKES: most males, particularly the cocky and the feminine • prissy girls, especially teens • macaroni and cheese • the dark • water • reality television • bra and underwear commercials • nature

STRENGTHS: agile, both in physical and mental aspects • fast • strong, particularly in her upper torso • flexible (although difficult with the amount of metal she wears) • endurance • quick reflexes • persistence

SKILLS:
Katarzyna inherited many of her inventor-father's intelligence, brilliance, and understanding of science and technology. She creates customized weapons, understands computer interfaces well enough to hack into almost any system and cause some serious damage, and knows how to fix both motorized vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles and electronic equipment, like computers, televisions, and video game consoles.

EQUIPMENT:
Lightning Whips:
Since ( involuntarily ) switching to the side of the Zydons, Backlash's lightning whips have been upgraded, allowing the electrical currents that run through them to run through Backlash’s nervous system, cranking up both the voltage of her whips and the extent to which her energy, stamina, and power could go. The flow of electricity within her is powerful enough to counter practically any other electrical attack, and the handles themselves had been loaded with an alien material that conducted magnetic flow as easily as someone manipulating water with their hand. ( see 'Electrokinesis' for how it applies to her powers. )
Altered Prosthetic Arm:
Backlash was fitted with a titanium-alloy prosthetic arm that serves both as an artificial limb and a source through which to channel her powers of magnesis. She designed the prosthetic herself, which is fully functionally and study as still, although the materials she used grants her the perk of letting it remain lightweight. The top of the arm connects to a magnetic plate that, paired with a few nuts and bolts, secures it to where her left shoulder socket would be. ( see 'History' ) After joining the Zydons, her metal prosthetic arm that served as the source of her magnesis has been tricked-out with with alien tech and weaponry that makes fighting her an even more dangerous task and her magnesis more powerful than ever. ( See 'Magnesis' for how it applies to her powers. )

HABITS/QUIRKS: Inexplicably yet religiously watches Telemundo and other Spanish channels, although she can’t speak Spanish. Some speculate that she finds it so ridiculously melodramatic and over-the-top that it's funny to her.

PERSONALITY: Kat is very hard-headed and really standoffish, brash, and misguided. Although her intentions may be otherwise, she has a habit of seeing the negative side of any situation and thus comes across as rude and temperamental. However, she can be pretty damn funny at times, preferring laughter over lethargy. Additionally, she's fun to be around when with friends and loved ones, is very outgoing, and loves to be the centre of attention.



FAMILY:
Konrad Dolinski ( father, deceased ) Pela Dolinski ( mother, deceased )Mickey Rygiel ( cousin )

PLACE OF ORIGIN:
Szczecin, Poland

CURRENT CITY:
Jump City, USA

HISTORY: Katarzyna was born on January 1st in Sczcecin, Poland, to Konrad and Pela Dolinski, two automechanics and heavy machinery inventors who weren’t expecting to have a child, but went love-wild when they were told of their blessing. Until then, Pela had been working alongside her husband, doing everything he did–––from fixing cars to building makeshift helicopters––despite most everyone’s accusations of her career as “No job for a woman; men do the work, women clean the house. That’s what they’re supposed to do.” But Pela always shook them off by saying “if you can build an automatic rifle with a steel exoskeleton and damn seeking bullets, then I’ll consider not using it on you to show just how badass women can be.”

When the baby came and started to grow, her mother’s influence was clearly in the young girl’s genes. She always defied the stereotypes of typical girls, liking Transformers and hating Barbies, playing in the dirt versus in a pretty pink room, and voicing her opinion and not letting anyone make her think otherwise, even at the young age of eleven, when she really started making a statement by enrolling in junior boxing. Working out and putting herself pass her own physical exertion set a foundation for Katarzyna that would later prove a very strong asset. Her parents always supported her, and sometimes her mom would even get into the boxing ring to help train her daughter. But when Katarzyna turned thirteen, the motherly figure in her life was ripped from her family and held hostage by a local gang that demanded that Konrad gave them all of his custom-built weapons. When Katarzyna found the gang’s location, she implemented her own 'jurisdiction' to the ultimate test––something she never seemed to quite master. The girl stole her father’s newest, greatest, and most risky invention: a mechanical set of lightning powered whips that harnessed the deadly force of nature and promised destruction. They were even more dangerous, however, because their circuitry had not been completed and Katarzyna didn’t know how to use them in the first place. And, as expected, that kind of power was unleashed without anything holding it back. In the end, that thirteen-year-old rebellious girl did make that gang pay, but at the cost of accidentally killing her mother.

Konrad fell into a distant state of psychological limbo from shock and grief, and Katarzyna ran away, afraid and along, despairing and regretful, but moreover: shattered. In the disaster she had created, her left arm was paralyzed and deemed useless; amputation was the option to continue on her father’s legacy––with a metal prosthetic arm to replace that lifeless hunk of flesh. And that day, Katarzyna vowed to transform her failures into triumphs. Accordingly so, Kat invented another set of her father’s lightning whips, but this time, with the uttermost control, extremely advanced technology, and continuous training. Katarzyna literally built her life again from scratch, and soon took that accomplishment to the superhero city of Jump City, USA, where she was determined to make herself known and bring punishment down upon any scum who broke her moral codes and her new country’s laws... even if it was just to make herself feel better about what she had done. It didn’t take long for that goal to become reality; almost instantly, Katarzyna could be seen on television news, in the papers, all over the internet, and wherever a criminal act was committed. She was given the name “Backlash,” and although the unoriginality bugged her, Kat took it on as her own identity.

But as is with many stars, she fell. One night, she used her popularity to get her into a popular night club despite being incredibly underage. She kicked back a few drinks, danced a bit, and made her way home. A bit woozy from all the alcohol, Kat collapsed on the way and blacked out. When finally conscious, she found herself robbed and beaten. Her attackers had already fled the scene, a small blessing to them; Katarzyna would have normally got right up and kicked the sh*t out of those punks; she would have even taken out her whips and electrocuted them to death; she would have gained revenge and let that red hell rage that she tried so hard to control. But no, it wasn’t possible. For when the teenage, hard-cracked girl managed to regain a stable set of mind, Backlash realized the impossible: her arm was gone, and that also meant her power to control lightning was gone, to, not to mention the perfectly sliced-off stub of her shoulder and just a little bit of her bicep; a reminder of how uncontrollable Katarzyna’s powers had been first created. Now there was just the hyper-tronic metal plate keeping all her flesh, blood, and bones fused together so not to have any content spilling out the socket. The humming disc on her person was the main piece of circuitry, but without the bright blue glowing tube linked through the center of that metal prosthetic, it was practically useless. However, there could have been more of a chance for her to create some raw currents had she not been victim to such a bewildering shock, figuratively speaking. Backlash’s pride, dignity, and the most humanistic feeling of worth had been stripped clean from her ego.

That was when she sought restitution at none other than S.T.A.R. labs, the very place that had created the great Cyborg’s mechanical parts. But it wasn’t easy––no, it of course had a very expensive price tag, one of which Kat could have never afforded... if she had not sold six blueprints of her father, the inventor Pan Konrad Dolinski. They were the foundation of many, many, improvements and unheard of technological weapons, set out completely in the uttermost pristine detail, the perfect guide for a multi-billion and militarily drastic change. It was, in theory, a whole new universe of mechanics. The trade was mad and Katarzyna not only got a custom build, state of the art platinum prosthetic, but the awesome and frequently fathomed superpower of Magnesis, the power of which could control or generate magnetism, literally readily available in the palm of her hand. Backlash made it clear that she would never approve nor tolerate the proposition of actually fusing her powers into her human self, and therefore, “setting her apart from the rest.” S.T.A.R. Labs agreed to respect her wishes. However, while fitting the prototype into Katarzyna’s arm, something disastrous occurred: her bloodstream––although concretely set apart my the placement disk at the base of her shoulder––began to attack her own flesh with chaotic white blood cells, toxically paired with the electric currents already coursing through the teen’s body. The situation was rapidly plummeting as Katarzyna seized uncontrollably, so convulsively, S.T.A.R. Labs acted in desperate panic and began to pump a new, promising yet dangerous anti-electric anesthetic into their patient, causing her skin to blacken completely. A mighty collision of electricity, anesthesia, liquid magnetic compounds, blood, flesh, currents, brain, resistance and attraction, positive and negative atoms, south and north magnetic poles deviated the smoothly tanned, electric blue-eyed, blue haired girl with a stare to pierce through anyone’s reassurance into a metallically black, shiny, white haired, white eyed, and alien individual. The change was permanent, so was the deal. But what changed the most for Katarzyna Dolinski was this: the uttermost hatred toward everyone with God-given superpowers had now been joined by the most cruel, spiteful malice for every human as well. It was a war within a half-woman, half-machine, all powerful, singular person. It was Backlash.

Realizing that they had created a destructive force that was willing and able to do whatever deeds of revenge she wanted, the doctors and scientists who had played Frankenstein immediately took drastic action, calling in their team of specialists to take the girl down before she did the same. The call was answered, Backlash was sedated, and when she woke up in a containment room, she remembered nothing. Nothing, at all. Who she was, how she got where she was, why she had no arm, why her skin and hair had appeared to be stripped of color, where she came from, and what her history was, had been completely erased by S.T.A.R. labs in a last-ditch effort to right their own wrongdoing, per se. After many weeks of re-assimilation to her new understanding as a 'nobody' and probable cause to believe that Katarzyna wasn't a harm to society or herself, her caseworkers gave her a mental nudge to where she could start her life: a place that would benefit from her unique powers, an abode with super-powered people like her, a destination for rebirth: the giant letter "T" that was home to some of the world's finest, most promising new heroes: Titans Tower.

Update ( 04.22.14 ) However, just as she had been accepted into the Teen Titans and before she could even meet them, Backlash was abducted by the invading alien race, the Zydons, to be brainwashed and used as their own personal weapon, specifically to kill the very Teen Titans that she had looked forward to working with. Currently, she fights alongside the Zydons with no clue as to her past and no knowledge of the crimes and acts of traitor-ship that she is committing.

Claimed. Expect a reply soon.

Does Hyper-Drive effect her powers at all, or does she just become more feral?

We need a limit for her magnesis. What is the heaviest piece of metal she could 'lift' with it, measured in tons?

Weaknesses need to be explained in a bit more detail. What does water do when it touches her? Nature makes sense since there is no source of electricity or metal there. It should be noted that ice doesn't conduct electricity, same with rubber. Why are shapeshifters one of her weaknesses?

Since she can still be hurt by anything that would normally hurt a human, I think all my questions are answered. You'll still need a second mod to take a look. (We have a double-approval system now.)

Though usually, like in this case, the second mod just gets to look over the pretty profile and go 'Wow... Just... Wow... I need to go do some editing on my own character... >. >'

Update #2: Alright, so I've added on to Backlash's history to include her recruitment and brainwashing by the Zydons as well as changing her affiliation to evil. Additionally, I've added more to the description of her lightning whips and metal arm and added two sections to her powers list that explain more about her physical and mental capabilities. I'm going to assume that these will need to be checked over and re-approved, just to be safe. Here's what I added:

PHYSICAL APTITUDE/ABILITIES:
Trained as a gymnast and a kick-boxer from a young age, Backlash is very agile and expert at hand-to-hand combat.

Backlash continues to practice and excel in all areas, especially gymnastics, as she is able to gain more access to gyms now that she lives in America.

YOUNG GENIUS:
Fittingly acknowledged as a child genius, Katarzyna inherited many of her inventor-father's intelligence, brilliance, and understanding of science and technology. She creates customized weapons, understands computer interfaces well enough to hack into almost any system and cause some serious damage, and invents all sorts of technological things such as robots, mega-computers, advanced medical equipment, and more mundane things such as household cleaning appliances. Additionally, Backlash learned much from her mother, who was a mechanic before she was killed. This experience has taught her how to fix motorized vehicles such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles.

Lightning Whips:  
Since ( involuntarily ) switching to the side of the Zydons, Backlash's lightning whips hae been upgraded, allowing the electrical currents that run through them to run through Backlash’s nervous system, cranking up both the voltage of her whips and the extent to which her energy, stamina, and power could go.

Currently, she fights alongside the Zydons with no clue as to her past and no knowledge of the crimes and acts of traitor-ship that she is committing.

It looks like she's kinda getting 4 powers now. The physical attributes is perhaps the weakest, but it consists of being quite strong (which kinda equals out her weakness of stronger opponents), nearly limitless stamina, and mastery of martial arts. That's a lot for an extra power that shouldn't be there.

On the other hand, being able to build robots and supercomputers is nothing to sneeze at, either.

4 full powers is too much to approve right now. Something has to go or get weakened. If her 'genius' is reduced so that she can't build robots, super-computers, and plot-device medical equipment, then I can allow it. She can still repair such things, however, along with vehicles and other devices. If you need some justification for this, then perhaps being stuck in 'Red' mode and being under Zydon control are interfering with her creative and therefore intellectual processes.

Also, if she is stuck in 'Red' mode from now on, which I read in the TT vs Zydon thread, then she should have some weakness associated with that. Isn't Red supposed to tire her out faster? If that's the case, then she shouldn't have limitless energy. In fact, she should get exhausted quite quickly. If this is added as a weakness, then I could probably allow her other physical capabilities to stay.

Well, I contest that I didn't say limitless stamina or that she's a master of martial arts, but I catch your drift. I'm going to go with kicking the robots/supercomputers/medical devices in favour of kicking out out her physical capabilities, but I would like to keep her ability to hack into pretty advanced computer systems if that's alright, which I think would differ enough from actually building the such advanced devices. Oh, and I did add the bit about customising weaponry, but you didn't comment on that so I'm unsure as to whether that should be changed, too. Personally, of course I'd like to keep that as well, and if I can then I'll define just to what extent that is, i.e. modifying/adding onto guns, continuously working on upgrades for her whips and arm, but nothing like building an arc reactor or a really powerful laser gun. I've edited that section, removing the super-genius aspect of it and moved that to the 'skills' section because I think it fits there better, particularly because I had inventing weapons, hacking, and sweet mechanic skills listed there already. And you do have a good point about stamina ( although I said great, not limitless ) running out quickly while in 'Red' mode, so I'll define that more and make sure that's added to her weaknesses as well as some other problems that being in that hyper-drive state causes, such as the susceptibility to give into emotions rather than rational thought, which can lead her to do some stupid things.

Here's what I've edited:

Also, thanks for taking the time to look over this for me ( again! )
