[align=center]PLAYER INFORMATION[/align] NAME: Lydia Martelli CONTACT:PM HOW YOU FOUND US: Google OTHER CHARACTERS ON THE SITE None.. Yet >:D RULES CODE:Blackbird CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE: (Links to sites you may have used to compose this bio) [align=center]CHARACTER INFORMATION[/align] [align=center] [/align]BASIC INFORMATION CANON OR ORIGINAL: Original AFFILIATION: Xavier Institute Student FULL NAME: Lydia Genevieve Martelli CODENAME: Stormcaster NICKNAMES: None CURRENT AGE: 17 DATE OF BIRTH: September 8th 1996 MARITAL STATUS: Single SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual BASE OF OPERATIONS: Xaviers Institute TIME AT INSTITUTE: 1 year REGISTERED WITH SHIELD? Yes HOMETOWN: New York City, New York KNOWN RELATIVES: Charles Martelli - Single Father, Alive Unknown Mother - Mother, Unknown Status PHYSICAL APPEARANCE HEIGHT:5"3 BUILD:Petite EYES:Brown HAIR:Auburn DISTINGUISHING MARKS: None CLOTHING STYLE: Lydia tries to present herself as higher member of society. She is usually seen wearing some sort of casual dress. Her most frequent color schemes are navy blue and black. She has many different shoes, mostly ballet flats or heels. UNIFORM: None Yet. POWERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION: [Weather Manipulation] Lydia has the ability to summon and manipulate the weather around her. Her mutant powers manifested at a young age, but was only limited to small gusts of wind. For a long time she assumed she was only in control of the single element. After a long time of practicing with her mutant ability she discovered the ability to control the atmosphere around her. Through this, she could shift the patterns of the weather around her and create small forces of nature. She could summon rain, or make fog appear! Tho she has shows signs of being very strong with these abilities, she has yet to really get a grip on temperature manipulation. Due to this she is only able to make a slight chill, or raise the heat in a small room. It also prevents her from doing a lot of strong forms of attacks such as lightning or tornadoes (both requiring large amounts of certain temperatures) Her control of her other abilities aren't even that strong yet either WEAKNESS: Due to her lack of control on her abilities, she is still unable to create lightning, thunder, or tornadoes. She has a very hard time bending the temperature in the air and isn't really getting anywhere with it. Since she is so new to the control of her other abilities, sometimes when she becomes enraged or annoyed they begin to act out. Like any other young mutant, she finds them hard to control at times. She is quite new to the whole weather manipulating thing, so she isn't strong enough to create a wide range with her powers. If she was to summon a storm cloud, it would involve a lot of effort on her part and eventually tire her out from the work. If she was somehow able to summon a bolt of lightning, it would take an incredible effort on her part. PERSONALITY HISTORY: PRE-APOCALYPSE Charles adopted Lydia in 1995 from an inner city family who could no longer afford to keep her. He did it mostly for a sort of "Family Man, Caring for the little people" kind of thing, never really caring for her like a true father should. He bought her all she wanted and kept her busy with social events and shopping sprees, to keep her out of his hair. The only person Lydia ever truly felt close too was her childhood nanny. Growing up Lydia always felt that she was different. I mean, besides the oodles and oodles of money daddy had from all the lawsuits he'd won. She knew something ELSE was different about her. Her ability to control the winds was at first some sort of curse to her, she felt as if she would cause her father much embarrassment if anyone ever found it! She had to make sure no one would know, Not even her father! All throughout highschool Lydia strived to be the best she could be. She wore the best clothing, she hung with the best people, She was even voted Homecoming queen freshman year! Though no matter her accomplishments, she never quite won the interest in her fathers life. From this, she had always tried to make friends ( Though mostly manipulating them to her advantage) She loved to be in control of her friend group and was quite the queen bee back in the middle school-High school years. DURING APOCALYPSE (April 7th through April 12th, 2009) During the apocalypse in 2009, Her father had taken her and her Nanny into a remote location were they waited out the apocalypse. Nothing eventful happened. Tho Lydia did enjoy the time she got to spend with her father, he was for once paying attention to her. She loved being able to spend time with him without interuption tho they were confined to some really fancy bunker underground in Canada, She would of enjoyed it more if it were under different circumstances. After the apocalypse had subsided, they didn't find out for a few weeks. (since they never told anyone where they were going and were forgotten about) Eventually they were contacted. Lydia returned to everyday life and they moved to a new penthouse. (since her was quite damaged from raiders and Mutant destruction) She did miss a few old belongings.. But hey, who needs priceless family photos and memories when you can just go buy new clothing at a "Hey we Survived" sale! CURRENT HISTORY When Lydias powers truly began to manifest, her and her father were on the family yatch enjoying a fine evening out at sea. Lydia was enjoying the peaceful day until she began to feel quite ill. Feeling sea sick, she went to the kitchen area for a gingerale. Upon arriving into the kitchen she was quickly struck over the head by the hired captain inside. Upon groggily waking up, she found herself tied to one of the railings outside on the deck. Her father was beside her, looking a little dazed as well. He told her that he discovered one of the men working for him was a con that he had put away years before taking his revenge on him and his family. The man slowly arrived, carrying some of the kitchen utensils in hand and approaching her father. Lydia was terrified, She was going to watch this man torture her father infront of her. That's when the man continued past her father and walked right up to her. "Perhaps a little fun with the daughter will set the mood for your torture.. Aye Charles?". Lydia spat at him in disgust, how dare he thinks he could do something like this to her. He quickly slapped her across the cheek and that is when she snapped. No.. she thought No, I refuse to be helpless She turned to the man, and let out a sort of furious scream. The winds around her began to churn and a cloud began to form above the yatch. With some sort of unnatural power she had created a rain storm above the ship. She was began to white out, ripping flooring off the yatch from the winds. She easily whipped the man across the yatch and into the Atlantic. Luckily her and her father were both tied down to the railings, not of fallen off. The storm subsided as she fell unconscious. When Lydia had awoken, the coast guard had located them and were helping them back to dry land. Baffled by the strange weather patterns, the had came as soon as they could to the source of the storm. Only to stumble across the pair cuffed to a yatch. Her father had bribed the guards to keep things quiet and quickly returned home. He had decided he was going to keep this little mistake that was his daughter a secret, so he literally forbid her from leaving the house without an escort or by his side. He spent a lot of his fortune of scientists and sorts to see if they could somehow cure her of the mutation. And of course, to no avail. Seeing no other option then to send her away, he decided to dump her off at the Xaviers Institute. Since it was still close by and heavily guarded, it was the perfect place to hide- I mean.. Send her to learn more about her abilities! SAMPLE RP POST: Lydia awoke in her dimly lit room. She frowned, it was a Saturday and she had woken up at 9:32 am? She was unimpressed with her bodily clock and reluctantly hoisted herself from bed. Standing up, she let out a yawn and ran her hands through her messy hair. She simply moved to her morning robe and put it on over her nightgown. Moving downstairs into the main dining room she hurried into the kitchen and sat down at a counter. There, she awaited her breakfeast. When it was finally served to her, she ate it without a thank you and whipped the crust from her eyes. She looked to one of the maids near bye and smiled politely, then spoke " Do you mind drawing my bath? Then tell Maria to lay my clothing out for the day." the maid nodded Quickly and spoke " Of Course Miss Martelli." then scurried off without another word. Lydia stood and moved out to the balcony, where she looked out across the New York skyline. She could smell the city air ( as smoggy as it was) This was home. She smiled and turned back, heading inside to the bath awaiting her. |

Hey Lydia! Thanks for applying to XMR. I have a few things I'd like to address with your application. The first one is kind of obvious, and that is that you forgot to fill out the personality section on your application. Please fix that. :) And there are a few other things as well. Your history seems to be incomplete. If she has been with the school for a year, that means that she would have been in Utopia, since the school has just reopened. Also, Apocalypse occurred in 2009, which was several years ago now. So the blanks should be filled in there, with the Purifiers and the Skrull both changing XMR in their own ways. The Board History (under the star on the sidebar on the left side of the page) will show you what you need to know and it shouldn't be too hard to add in. If you haven't already, take a moment to move this application over to a word processor, like Microsoft Word. When you do that, you'll be able to spot common errors like spelling and such much easier. There are a few errors through the app and while we are fine with a misspelled word here and there, we usually like to see the best you can do out of your application. And that leads me into my next point, seeing the best you can do. I copied your sample over to Word and it says that it is 200 words, and the minimum for posts is 250. It shouldn't be too hard to write good post for a character that you are applying for, you know? So while 250 might be the minimum, I think you should write enough to relay exactly how you intend on playing this character. Her attitude, her humor, her powers, any quirks, etc etc. Not that you have to include all of those things, but those are some examples of how you can flesh her out. Lydia wanting breakfast and having a bath drawn for her didn't really tell me much at all about your character, to be honest. (Edit: My mistake, the word limit is 200. But this doesn't change what I have said. You shouldn't strive for the minimum in your sample post and your sample is exactly 200 words.) These are just a few changes that I would like to see get taken care of. I won't lie and tell you that there will not be more afterwards, but we'll have to see where it stands after you make these adjustments. If you need help, feel free to PM or AIM me, or look for another staff member in the cbox. We are usually pretty easy to find. Post here again when you have made these changes. Thanks! |
