Okay, this is kind of weird. I’m taking a girl that is an actual character in the Marvel universe, only I am tweaking her by giving her a name, making her not dead, and reworking her history and personality.
Name: Rachel (Rae) Marie Cruz
Alias: Victoria Hernandez
Codename: 1.Vida
2. Subject 7024
Team: Beta
Age: 16
Height: 5’ 6’’
Weight: 120 lbs.
Hair color: black
Eye color: hazel
Family/Relations: Anne Marie Ortega(mother, deceased) Francis (Frank) Peter Cruz (father) Amy Walker (close friend, pen pal to Rachel) Adam Lawson (close friend)
Personality: A true blue military brat who was never really cut out for the military. Although she is an excellent fighter she is cautious to use her power, something that often leaves her vulnerable. She prefers, instead, to work with computers. She cares about others immensely and feels somewhat responsible for the well being of her peers. Due to her recent history, Rachel has forced herself to suppress several of her emotions, causing her become introverted and cautious around others. However at heart she has always loved having a good time and is always up for going someplace new or exploring a new place. She is an adventurer and a wild child and is always ready for a challenge. An interesting personality quirk is her love to talk to others in Spanish.
Appearance: tall with long black hair. She wears jeans and tight t-shirts. On her feet you can usually find a pair of old sneakers. She isn’t very stylish, due to the fact that she wore a uniform up until she was 16, but she dresses nicely when she has too. At the moment she is still growing into herself and so often finds herself in awkward situations. She has a very natural figure, with curves in all the right places. Her personality is fueled mainly by her own pride. Sometimes she is viewed as impulsive and wild, but really she just loves breaking the norm.
Powers:
1. First and foremost Rachel has the ability to drain the life forces of others through physical contact. After the fact, her body can use this energy to accomplish many different feats.
2. Rachel can rechannel this energy into blasts of destructive concussive force that emminate as a yellow surge of energy from her body.
3. Rachel can utilize the life forces to revitalize herself. In doing so she can restore herself to optimum performance and even heal her wounds.
4. Rachel can channel the life force of any living being (creature or plantlife) and use it to revitalize others. In this way she can heal the wounds of others and give them added boosts of energy.
5. As Rachel powers up her skin glows yellow. However, this is not a mutation, but a side effect to genetic testing.
6. Finally, Rachel cannot generate her own life forces. All of her energies must be stolen from another living being.
Power Limitations:
1. Rachel can not remian in physical contact with anything alive for more than a few minutes at most. The amount of life force she absorbs depends on how massive, or how big, the life form is. The bigger the form, the longer she can remain physical contact.
2. As a being's life force is stolen it becomes sleepy and disorientated. Unlike the mutant Rogue, they do not pass out or become unconscious. However, if Vida was to hold on for a very long duration of time she could cause some very permanent damage.
3. Vida needs these life forces to survive and so she constantly has to "feed" off of people, animals or plants, to stay alive.
Skills: hacking into computers, fighting, telling jokes, playing the drums. Because she grew up around advanced technology she has a knack for building and fixing things. Her skills with technology are almost infinite.
Interests: playing on the computer, fooling around with technology, listening to music, roller blading, bike riding, going to concerts, hanging out with friends, going to far away places, helping people.
Bio: Rachel was born in Phoenix Arizona. She lived a happy childhood with her mother until she was 7 years old. At around this time her mother was tragically killed in a car crash. After this her father, a general in the army, came to get her. Rachel moved to live on the army grounds and began training the very same day. Her father was always very involved in his work, and often left Rachel to be raised by his subordinates. She made friends with the soldiers and her outgoing personality and relative curiosity always allowed her to make the best of things. She grew to learn how to fight with extraordinary skill from some of the top fighters in the country. She also learned how to dive and swim from a Navy Seal. However, she never really fancied fighting and found her love to be with computers and technology. Thanks to her good friend Adam Lawson she learned how to hack into computers and how to build and fix various machines.
However, her days at the military were no walk in the park. She was forced to get up early, train, eat, train again, go to school, come home, train and then go to sleep. But worst of all, Rachel was forced to call her father Sir, or simply The General. Her father didn’t seem to be a father to her, more like an overbearing figure that controlled her life.
Nevertheless, Rachel continued to live her grueling life without complication until she was training in pretend combat a few days after her 14th birthday. While she was practicing with her friend, a soldier named Amy, she reached to help when Amy was “shot.” As there bare flesh touched Amy screamed in pain and fell unconscious. Rachel was very afraid that she had done something terribly wrong. She ran back to her room, but on the way she developed a pounding headache. She felt as if she would be sick and so quickly found a place to sit down. But resting did nothing to calm her head and in a matter of minutes a blinding flash of orange light filled the room, searing and burning the walls around her. Rachel herself passed out and woke up three days later in a hospital bed. A friend of hers, Adam, had found her lying there and delivered her to her father.
During the intervening 3 days her father had scientists experiment on her to find out what was wrong. It turned out that Rachel was a mutant, a condition that developed from a change, or an addition, in her DNA. The scientists attempted to delete it, but it was impossible. Afraid that his daughter’s…condition…would lose him his job, General Cruz had it ordered that she be put down. Luckily, in the nick of time, a man approached the General with an offer that supplied a second option. The General would keep his job and Rachel would be placed in a new organization known as the Dark Riders.
This group was a group of mutants that were federally funded by the government. The Dark Riders were to be a mutant fighting force that was to protect humanity from mutant extremists. Rachel was a perfect choice, and so the General handed her over to the government, where they changed her name (to Victoria Hernandez), codenamed her Vida (Spanish for "Life"), and rewrote her entire history. Rachel, upon waking up and being very confused, was forced to accept this new life. She trained with the Dark Riders for a long time, about 2 years, and grew to really care for her teammates. At first she had to wear a full body suit, so as to prevent her from touching people, but soon she developed her powers and learned to control them, for the most part, and even began to like her new life. With the Dark Riders she traveled the world and prevented many mutants from being murdered or treated unjustly. With the Dark Riders she expanded her technical outlook and even helped to design exclusive weapons for the team.
However, in Africa, the Dark Riders were attacked and many of them were killed. Rachel probably would have died too, but she survived by stealing the life force of her enemy.
After the incident she was left very heart broken and upset (as should be expected). She blamed the death of her older teammates on own inexperience. With no where else to go she was forced to return to Arizona and live with her father at the military base. He didn’t exactly welcome her with open arms, in fact when she returned home he immediately sent her away again, this time to a place called the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Apparently he had made a deal with Xavier. If he took legal control over his daughter, The General would make sure that Xavier’s school was never the target of a national threat (although this promise is sure to be broken). Now Rachel has donned her old name (although she kept the codename and costume…for sentimental reasons) and has gotten on a plane to Bayville.
