Sheeva Tankatia
First of the Psi-jedai
Superior X
Canon/Original: Original

Codename:

Real Name:Sheeva Tankatia

Nickname:

Age: 25

Gender: Female


Race: Mutant


Appearance: Sheeva stands at 5'7" and a tiny 115 lbs., giving her a thin frame that could rival the frame of any famous supermodel. She has long, black hair, brown eyes, and a smile that can light up a room. Despite her dainty frame, she makes up for it with grace and style. Update: She now has an extra set of arms that was surgically attached to each elbow. The new arms will make her look different, but they make her better.

Clothing: With pure Indian culture, Sheeva tends to stay in the modern area of dress. With light-colored blouses and skirts at her disposal, she loves to emulate the Western culture, even when visiting her traditional family. However, when in action, she wears a strapless purple dress with a matching cape, belt, and fashionable, athletic shoes.


Weapons / Armor / Gear: Sheeva's weapons of choice are two hand-held metallic cylinders that are empty and hollow. The cylinders are made with steel, so they can be useful against anyone in hand-to-hand combat. Those cylinders also are filled with Sheeva's psionic energy to project themselves as energetic blades for combat. The blades can be extended from a katara-style dagger to the length of a katana blade. The cylinders can also be screwed together at each end to create a double-bladed staff, if both ends of one cylinder are used. She also carries a couple of flashbang grenades for distortion purposes when she uses her telepathy against her enemies. Update: Sheeva has the SX-G technology with her body, boosting her own manipulation of her psionic energy by an increase of close to 200%, according to Doctor Nemesis.

Skills / Education/ Training: Sheeva has trained with the Indian army during her youth, training her in the skills of military and combat. Her main skill in fighting comes from the art of Silambam martial arts that come from the monks of India. Once banned throughout the country, Sheeva decided to study it for their ancient techniques for the fact that no one else besides them would know how this fighting style worked. She was also schooled with the military, earning high marks in each class until her graduation.


Powers:
Telepathy: Sheeva can use her mind to read the thoughts of others and use that information to her own advantage. If she can gain different sets of plans and moves from an enemy, Sheeva will use that and turn those facts against him or her, especially when it comes to fighting or planning out a different strategy. She was trained by her military team to scope out the thoughts of the enemy to gain any edge on them. Sheeva can only do this at two people at a time for a minimum of 15 seconds before fatiguing herself mentally. Sheeva can also project various images or thoughts into others, making them think what she wants them to think. If Sheeva wants her enemies to see snakes in their hands instead of weapons, then that is what they will see. However, she can only hold that image in a mind for around 30 seconds before she starts to get mentally fatigued.

Telekinesis: Sheeva can move objects and people with her mind, although it is limited to how heavy that person or object is. She can use her mind to use this power, or she can tap her energy through her hands and used them to grab hold of any item from afar and either catch it or toss it. She can lift anything over 250 lbs., so an average-sized person would be able to be lifted or anything the size of a ceiling-high shelf. Anything heavier than that will be a complete mental drain on her powers, causing her to collapse.

Psionic Energy: Sheeva can use the energies in her mind to fill the hollow cylinders to create the blades that are her main weapons in combat. The strength of the blades are primarily focused on how hard her focus is on those blades. If her focus is light, then the blades are merely as strong as a kendo stick, merely bruising and shocking an enemy. However, the blades can be sharp as a Japanese katana, slicing through anything but steel and other metals. If necessary, she can wield those into a ball of psionic energy that she can toss. The strength of the energy ball is determined on how much she pours into it with her focus. The highest degree of it is the strength of a rocket from a RPG, and she can't go any stronger than that until she masters her powers. Update: The SX-G enhancement boosts the output of her psionic energy by an overwhelming margin. Her new arms can channel those energies as well, making her a four-way threat against any opponent. The strength of the energies have increased as well, giving Sheeva the chance to create a blast as strong as a nuclear bomb.

Weakness: Sheeva can use her powers to a point until she can mentally tired. Once she started faded out and getting weak, she would have to stop and rest until she was fully capable of doing anything with her powers. It would take at least a half-day to a full day of rest in order to recoup what she lost.

Despite her powers, Sheeva can still be harmed by any physical or mental attacks. Her skills can be easily taken out of the equation if anyone strong enough or powerful enough would take her out with a calculated attack upon her. Plus, any loud distractions around her will disrupt her focus to the point of her abilities shortening out on her and would have to start over.


Personality: Sheeva takes everything with a serious tone. With her military background, she was taught to take every moment with seriousness and dedication, like a true soldier would. Her mood can also be lighthearted and peaceful as she was taught this way through the use of her martial arts. She's willing to try anything once, from eating a different food to making a new friend. As long as she trusts her instincts, she's ready to learn anything and everything.


History: Sheeva was born from her parents, Raman and Batik, in the northern edge of New Delhi. Her parents didn't have much as they were living in poverty within the slums of the city. However, with her mom being a secretarial assistant to the local government, they made due with what little money they had. Batik was a disabled war veteran, who lost his right leg while helping allied forces during Operation: Desert Storm, so when Sheeva was born, it was his decision to stay at home and teach his daughter everything he knows about the world around her.

At the age of 8, Sheeva began to develop her powers while she was in school, reading the thoughts of her teacher during a pop quiz. She didn't know what was happening to her, and when she looked at the other students, she began to read their thoughts, too. She didn't know how to control it, so she ran out of the school and never returned. Once her parents learned of the truth, Batik knew that there was a place where her daughter could not only learn more of her developing powers, but to help others as well.

With Raman's blessing, Batik took Sheeva to a military base near the southern edge of the Himalayan mountains. An old friend and mutant, Colonel Sanjay Daemn, was introduced to Sheeva and her budding gifts. Colonel Daemn was the head of a program that would train psychics and other mutants into becoming India's best and brightest soldiers. After saying goodbye to her parents, Sheeva would spend the next few years learning and understanding her powers while becoming an elite solider in Colonel Daemn's squad. After serving in a couple of tours of duty that dealt with heavy fighting and multiple victories under her belt, Sheeva left the Colonel's team in hopes to discover the world in her terms.


Alignment: N/A


RP Sample: The skies above the city of London was clear as can be, nothing but blue and a few birds that flew across the horizon. Sheeva woke up to the blaring rays of the sun hitting her face, introducing her to another day full of intrigue and mystery. This was going to be a day that she was ready to explore this city and see what it was all about.

Carrying a large bag that contained some clothes and her staffs, Sheeva stepped out of the room of a dilapidated apartment and touched down on the English streets, her black flats hitting the pavement with a slight tap. She looked around to see what was going on, which was nothing in this neighborhood. Seeing that an empty cab was coming her way, Sheeva hailed it down and stepped inside. She saw the cab driver, who looked like a nice enough fellow to tap into for a quick moment. "How much would it be for a ride to Soho?"

"From this neighborhood, it would be about 200 pounds."

Sheeva reached into the pocket of her black slacks and pulled out five bills that were worth 5 pounds each. She handed the bills to the driver and used her powers to make the bills look like 50-pound bills. This was child's play for her, but for the cab driver, it was good to get a nice tip from this trip that he was going to. Putting the cab in drive, he aims the cab to Soho, taking Sheeva to where she wants to go.

After reviewing you application I have come to the conclusion that I feel that this particular character seems rushed and put together without much thought. While okay to some extend, a roleplayer such as yourself who has been with the site for as long as you have, we have come to expect a little more detail from you.

I want you to read the application over one more time. Add more details to where you think you need a little more fleshing out then reply to the topic and let me know when you are done. I will then break the application down as needed from there. I know this seems vague but I know that you understand what I mean and that you are more than capable of delivering what we are asking. Any comments pm me and I can explain further if you like in that medium.

:glasses: :D
