| Bio: | Born blind, Sasha was a relatively bright and sunny girl, in spite of what others considered a handicap. Not knowing any differently, Sasha was quite happy the way she was, though she constantly worried the hell out of her parents as a child when she'd run off to play, heedless of speed or obstacles, which she always managed to avoid. Likely because of her mutant genes, she was born with the ability to use echolocation to a degree that with the slightest sound, she was capable of 'seeing' the obstacles in her way. When she hit puberty, she manifested the ability to manipulate soundwaves; changing the pitches, frequency and volume of sounds in her vicinity. This made her capable of causing a microphone squeal to concuss someone, or mute all sounds within her range of effect.
Not able to control it at first, she was constantly giving herself headaches from modulating frequencies she was unable to intake, interfering with her echolocation. Her parents, concerned for her, sought help for her; finding it in the form of Xavier's School for Gifted Children. With the help of the Professor, she was able to learn to control her abilities; also picking up a love of gymnastics and acrobatics as well from some of the more limber and athletic children.
Sasha's maintained her sunny nature, enjoying being able to hear the smile in people's voices. She has a quirky, off-center sense of humor and enjoys pushing the limits of propriety and conventionality. Usually, she'll wear sunglasses when she's out in 'public' or meeting new people, knowing that her eyes have a tendency to bother some people. Born without pupils or irises, her eyes are a pure, blank white - making it difficult for anyone to know exactly where she's directing her attention. She carries a folding cane as well, usually playing 'blind girl' while out in public - on the off chance she looses her glasses or they get knocked off.
Always up for a bit of fun, Sasha's also a bit of a flirt, shamelessly hitting on whomever she feels could either use a pick-me-up or anyone who catches her fancy. Playful and adventurous, Sasha's rarely one to back away from a challenge; whether it be bungee jumping or someone she's interested in.
As a result of her blindness, her hearing and sense of smell have heightened in response - though nothing near 'super senses' range.
After graduating, she left the school to travel, wanting to witness the world she'd read about before deciding where she wanted to settle down. She inevitably found herself missing the familiarity of the school; missing the other students, her friends, and being able to be open about herself. Returning to Xavier's, she tried to find a niche for herself in one of the only places she'd ever felt truly at home.
From her travels and schooling, Sasha can speak fluent Spanish, French. She has a passing fair knowledge of German and Portuguese.
-Which is where I'm playing her from. Though, it's more than welcome to have alternate time-lines of her training or time at school. Mun is quite open to incorporating Sasha into the Marvel 'verse.-
Abilities:- Echolocation - Her optic nerves receive audio transmissions instead of visual ones. The result is a greyscale version of the world - detail depending on the strength and steadiness of the audio frequencies she's adapting
- The ability to alter the soundwaves in an 'area of effect' zone around her - the size dependent upon the intensity and strength of her alteration. She can 'mute' an area, or pick up conversations further away than she should hear by pulling the soundwaves to her.
- By changing the pitch of the sound in an area, she can use it to have a cause and effect on objects - shattering glass, bursting eardrums, vibrating surfaces.
- Is able to cause audiochemical reactions in people - like the 'brown note', Sasha has discovered what she's named the 'blue note'; a frequency that can cause arousal in a person or group of people. There's also the 'white note' - unconsciousness, the 'green note' - nausea, the 'red note' - rage, and the 'yellow note' - fear/terror.
