• Power [/color] | Pyric Touch
Sophia’s mutation allows her to psychically accelerate the motion of particles, thus rapidly igniting or burning any given subject via touch. This touch means she can increase the heat of anything she touches, resulting in anything from a small burn, to melting, or even, if concentrating hard enough, setting it ablaze. This power is not only constraint to her hands, but affects her entire body, so even by brushing shoulders or legs with someone she could potentially burn them.
Sophia herself does not feel the heat and is thus impervious to temperature, her body keeping itself regulated at a core temperature.
While her entire body can accelerate particles, she has the most control in her hands, as these are the places she can easily focus on. In order to set ablaze to someone, or thing, she needs to maintain contact with them for longer than she would to just burn them.
• Weapons [/color] | None
• Weaknesses [/color] | At times her powers cause her to become untouchable, such as when she is greatly stressed or surprised. She sees her powers as more of a curse than a blessing, and goes out of her way to hide them
She has an addictive personality, be it drugs, alcohol or sex, and this can often distract her from her purpose or job. She doesn’t get depressed easily, but when she does, she can often go into a funk for days. She has no self of danger, and likes to live on the edge, often leading to mishaps on her part.
• Skills[/color] | Apart from being able to mix a good cocktail and tie a bow into a cherry stem, Sophia doesn’t have many other “useable” skills.

• Height [/color] | 5’6”
• Weight [/color] | 120lbs
• Hair color & Style [/color] | Dyed blonde, left long and curly but shaven on the left side
• Eye color [/color] | Blue
• Face claim [/color] | Alice Dellal
• Overall Appearance[/color] | In order to get noticed by modelling agencies, and to be “different”, Sophia shaved half of her head into a buzzcut, leaving the other half long and dyed blonde. While she is generally accepting of her features, her one sore spot is her nose, which she inherited from her father. However, she is objected to plastic surgery and would never get it changed, it is part of who she is.
She has numerous tattoos on her body, most noticeably on her hand and on her stomach. She dresses very punky, usually involving some sort of leather, spikes, and New Rock boots. This is only for casual wear; she has been known to wear anything (or nothing) for fashion shoots.

• Dislikes [/color] |

• Fears [/color] | Becoming homeless, being ousted as a mutant, being forced in a normal, boring 9 – 5 job
• Goals/ dreams[/color] | To become a famous model
• Overall Personality[/color] | Sophia has, or tries to have, a positive attitude, living for the moment and taking risks is what she’s all about. She despises dullness, she likes to keep herself as busy as possible. She’s a fun loving girl who never shies away from attention, as long as it’s good.
While she does try to keep an upbeat attitude, she can sometimes sink into depression, because of her powers or alcohol, or just from an unbreakable spiral. She loves her family, but now that she’s older, can see the web of lies her mother spun around her father and thus makes her resentful of her, however she would go to the ends of the earth for her sister Emily.

• Birthplace [/color] | New York
• Mother [/color] | Cindy Harris
• Father [/color] | Matthew Harris
• Siblings[/color] | Emily Harris
• Other Relations [/color] | None
• Companion [/color] | None
• Overall history[/color] | (Detailed 3+ paragraphs)
While most people disregarded Cindy as a blonde bimbo from California, the ex-playgirl turned model had her eyes set on the stars when she arrived in New York. Winning contracts at one of the top modelling agencies, she quickly latched on to the middle-aged business man, Matthew Harris, after meeting him at a fancy party. CEO of his own company specialising in computer software, Matthew lapped up the attention from the young and attractive Cindy, quickly becoming engaged to her, and married the year after.

To nobody’s surprise, Cindy fell pregnant not long after their marriage, and gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The girl was named Sophia Alexandria upon her father’s request and the girl was spoiled from birth.

During her childhood, Sophia wanted for nothing, and her mother quickly introduced her girl to the modelling circuit, enrolling her as a child model. The heat was taken off Sophia by the arrival of a baby sister not long after her 6th birthday.

While she didn’t excel in school, Sophia sat comfortably in the middle, neither gifted nor stupid. More a tomboy than a girlygirl, she was often more comfortable hanging around with the boys at recess than playing dress up games with the girls.

It was when she hit sixteen than Sophia’s mutant powers began to manifest. At first she assumed it was a string of unlucky accidents that caused things and people to burn when they touched her. Her realisation occurred when she was having sex with her then boyfriend, and managed to give him third degree burns. With nothing else to blame it on, she realised it must have been her causing the burns on him. On good days she could control it, but if she was stressed or upset, then she increased the chance of hurting more people. She began to experiment with drugs and alcohol, entering a downwards spiral. She left school, and threw herself into modelling, much to her father’s horror.

At 18 she left her parents house, and moved to a loft in the centre of town. Hanging out at celebrities parties, she soon became friends with the Stark heiress, Riley. Both models and both with the same sort of drink problems, the two started to hang around more and more, getting into trouble and generally causing a nuance.

At the age of twenty, Sophia had an epiphany, of sorts, she could see that she was drinking and drug taking to avoid the pain her powers cost, but in doing so she was getting more upset which was triggering her powers more. She cut back on the drink and stopped the drugs, while she tried to immerse herself in her modelling, and find a way to control her powers.

RP Sample: (must be a sample of the character you are applying for, can, however, be from a different side)

Sophia stood on the harbour side of New York City, a bottle of vodka in one hand, and a blissful smile on her face. She giggled drunkenly as a boat packed with tourists floated past, obviously out of towners wanting to see the sights of Manhattan by dusk.

“I’ll give ya something to look at!” she shouted at the boat, pulling up her top to flash them as they went past. She was grabbed from behind and pulled down from the metal railings she was balanced precariously on. James, or John, or something beginning with J, was trying to cover her up. She batted away his hand, passing him the bottle as she tugged down her ripped top, quite how it had gotten ripped she couldn’t remember, but then she had been drinking since noon.

“Shut the hell up!” she slurred at him, as he tried to coax her back to his apartment. She took back her precious bottle, taking a gulp from it as she tried to drown out his drone. “Yeah whatever buddy, you’re boring,” linking arms with one of the other boys in her troupe, she flipped him off, and giggled, leaving the boy staring open mouthed at her as she dragged the others away, the night had yet to begin.
