Powers:

Cryokinesis (ice):

Scarlett has the power to control/create ice and manipulate water. This can sometimes cause weather anomalies of snow (it takes her about 2-3 posts to gather the power needed and a 4th to use it). This can only be done on overcast days and if she has had enoughsleep and food. She can freeze up to her own weight but no more. Items that do not contain water like metals and some inanimate objects they can take up to a minute to freeze( If it is something like a lunch box, probably a quarter of a post).

Her average body temperature is half a degree (celsius) lower than that of the average human, an unfortunate but necessary side affect. She has tried to freeze a human body all at once, it took too long to gather up the power and then use it (about three posts to gather the power and about 5-6 to actually freeze anyone). The person also has to be equal or below her own body weight for her to completely freeze them. Unfortunately people are often away and screaming once they realise that she is going to freeze them. But if someone annoys her enough she freezes the ground they are about to walk on and they slip up. This is the power that she uses the most.

Poisonous/Toxin Fangs:

Scarlett has slightly elongated canines, hardly very noticable really. But if she bites someone, like a snake her fangs become more prominent. She sometimes injects a toxin that at its worst causes an upset tummy. This toxin acts swiftly and has the unfortunate victim puking up their last meal within two minutes. It is used to incapasitate, but never kill. So she can make a quick get away.

It would never be strong enough, no matter how big a dose you get. Sometimes she has a build up of the toxin that she has to get rid of, so she sucks gently and tricks her fangs into thinking she has bitten a victim. Once she has gotten out most of the toxin she spits it out into a bin. The toxin is a peculiar shade of bright purple and quite noticable. The bite marks she leaves on victims have to heal on their own. The symptoms of the toxin take anything from a day (at the minimum) to a week (the maximum).

~ Sometimes she accidentally bites and doses herself

~ Plans for every eventuality in any scenario.
~ Gets the job done regardless of lives that are lost or in danger.
~ Hand-to-hand combat expert, tai kwon do training.

Personality:

Scarlett is fairly complicated, if you say even one thing that she does not agree with you end up with a splitting headache or a missing limb. She is not one to hold back in any sort of fight unless it is something verbal, then she can't be bothered wasting oxygen and walks away. As long as something interests her she will examine and torment it, once it loses its novelty and 'newness' she moves on to another thing that catches her fancy. She often just stays still in a crowd and watches everyone walk past her.

It is not her style to be nice, she is sarcastic but only when you can get her to talk to you. She isn't really a fan of talking, she's the 'quiet type' but at times she can show a child-like curiousity for things like crushes and love. She is sensitive about questions directed at figuring out her past and such. She is cautious around any men, but covers it up with a cold and cruel demeanor that she took two years to perfect.

History:

Scarlett was born on the 31st of October, how fitting for a truly creepy child to be born on Halloween. Her parents had a home somewhere in Rome. She spent her first few years of life not saying a word, but why would she? Her mother had told her not to talk because daddy would hit her if she did. Scarlett took this as the law and grew up in a very proud family. Her father was quite abusive when intoxicated with alcohol, so naturally her mother didn't touch the cursed stuff.

On Scarlett's fourth birthday she was greeted with the sight of her first pet, a small kitten named Angel. It had been a darling little thing and had lived till Scarlett's twelfth birthday. The palest golden colour, the darkest blue eyes...Scar had loved that cat to bits. And that was exactly what had happened on Scarlett's twelfth birthday, her father had come home in a drunken rage. Angel had tried to defend her mistress from a possible threat and Scar's father tore it limb from limb with his own two hands.

Scarlett woke up with her bed drenched in red fluid. She craddled what was left of Angel's torso and cried for the first and last time in her life. Mother distracted the distraught child with memories of the good times with the recently deceased cat. But despite all of her mother's comforting her blood boiled at the thought of her cat being killed because of a few scratches it had given to her father.

Scarlett did what she thought was right. She waited till he was at the top of the staircase and ran as fast as she could, forcing her weight and his over into the vast expanse of empty air above the stairs. Then they both rolled and bumped down the stairs. She had only wanted to frighten him, not paralyse him from the waist down. They landed with Scar on top of her father's wide chest and the next thing she remembered was being stared at by a psychiatrist with half-moon glasses.

"Do you know why you are here Ms....Dark is it?" The woman asked and Scarlett looked up from her pale hands that were clasped in her lap.
"Of course I do, Daddy murdered my cat and beats Mummy up. I pushed him down the stairs because of my cat." Scarlett said in a quiet voice, no more than a whisper. But she had a smile on her face the whole time.

The woman looked slightly taken aback and Scarlett wached her check her notes.
"It says here that you haven't spoken a word until your fourth birthday. Is this correct? Could you please tell me why that is the case?" The woman questioned and Scarlett's smile never faltered.
"Yep, you are very good at doing your homework Ma'am. Mother said that Daddy would hurt me if I talked too loud. So I thought that rather than talking and being hit, why talk at all?" Scarlett answered and soon the nice young woman left witha harrassed look on her face.

The case was dropped and Scarlett's parents moved to Verada. Scarlett kept her head down and studied hard, getting second highest in test scores for her classes and such. Her future was bright, she was supposed to go to college/university and escape. But then they put the black walls up and Scarlett sensed that this was the end of her bright future. She completed school and descovered her powers, honing and testing them and their limits.

Her first boyfriend came into her life when she was sixteen and he didn't mind that she was quiet and slightly sarcastic. But she didn't analyse his motives enough, he was the son of a very prominent family in Verada and he was told to date her. This would anihalate thethreat of her mother and father becoming more popular than the other family or something. But he slipped up and she was waiting for it to go wrong, nothing good lasted for long. He was caught with another girl and the cheater and the other girl were fighting. The scene was one that Scarlett would not want to witness again. They were screaming and accusing each other of things.

Scarlett tried to walk away, but she made some sort of noise and the boy came rushing out of the kitchen.
"You can't tell anyone! You will not live to talk!" He growled and she realised that the boy had been arguing about whether or not to take over her family's company or whatever. He came towards her and she let him grab her.
"There's a good girl, this will hurt." He said and she kept calm, her palms were sweating...good. Slowly an ice shard grew in the palm of her hand, he applied a knife from the kitchen to her neck and put pressure on it. The stainless steel blade was just above her voice box.

The knife cut through a few layers of skin and a trickle of blood coursed its way down the side of her neck. Then the pressure slackened as she brought the ice shard up from her side and burried it deep into his side. It was not enough to kill him, but he squirmed so much that he bled faster from the wound and the other girl rushed to help him. They were both fools, because the other girl tried to move him and he finally bled out. Scar smashed the ice shard into a wall and it shattered and melted.

She shut away her emotions and locked her heart away as best she could. The Serpente scouted her out and she joined just after both of her parents died in a horrible fire that took both the house and their memories with them. She felt some grief for her mother, but none for her father, that was just how it was. She worked on her powers more and more, completed missions without fail and became a little more sarcastic. Scarlett now stands as tall as she can and will not bow down to anyone that has not proven that they are ahead of her or more powerful. She was now a monster that was so scared of being hurt again, she killed almost anyone that came close.

Alright. *takes a seat*

Snow or blizzards? How big, how effective and how long, if she can manipulate weather then there definitely has to be a weakness for this (if the day is bright and warm, can she just call up a storm even without the right elements for one?). Time, it's hard to measure when rping, I understand the smaller objects i.e., pen, pencils and the like no need to worry about. We need posts instead of time. However, a human body? If she can freeze a human body, then she can kill a human (hypothermia). Thirty seconds to kill a person--thirty second to freeze a person, in my eyes, is... just a no.

There has to be a defect; how can the person get out of it? Is she venerable while this is happening? There has to be something the person can do to defend themselves before you get an auto kill.

[Scarlett Dark]

modified and stuff. I removed the autokill a little, now she can only (if they are heavier than her) freeze like a hand or a foot or something because it would be faster. Also, she can only freeze someone equal to or lighter than her, but it would take ages for her to freeze them. So all they would have to do is smash their way out whe she was building the ice up around them or run away as she was building her power up.
