Email: on-file
AIM (if you have one): on-file
Character Name:  Rikki Cargill
Character LJ (if applicable): anger_issues
Physical description (face, build, weight): a tall, semi-muscular black woman
Age: 18
Birthday:  January 15
PB: (If using one.) Dana Davis
Abilities: density control--from intangible to diamond hard, with an increase in strength and durability as density increases
Weaknesses and flaws: Hair-trigger temper.  at higher densities, greater and greater energy is required just to move.
Character location/Home: Genosha, Genoshan embassy
Alignment (villain, hero etc): not a villain
Relatives (living/dead?): Joanna Cargill (mother)

Backstory: Born to the Acolyte Frenzy and a Genoshan native, Rikki was born and raised on Genosha.  She fell easily into lockstep with her mother's fanatical devotion to Magneto and the Genoshan cause.  Taller than most of the other kids her age and aggressive even then, she gained a reputation as something of a bully, until one day, Gio brought her down to size.  They were five.  And the two were friends ever since.  It would not be the last time Rikki's aggressive attitude and anger got her into trouble.

Rikki's powers first manifested when she was thirteen, a temper induced stomp transforming into a high-density ground-cracking stomp.  Once the exact nature of her abilities were determined, she was schooled in controlling them.  She rarely finds reason to use her intangibility, considering it to be a "weak" power compared to being able to increase her density.  Her mother has done little to discourage this attitude, always riding Rikki that she had to be strong to survive, that only the strong had power.

Fanatically loyal to Magneto, but with a strong bullying and competitive streak, not too many people can handle being around Rikki for long stretches.  While she's is not exactly a "bad" person, she is certainly closed minded.  Her newest assignment to the Genoshan consulate is hoped to broaden her perspective.


How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: She will be joining the other Genoshans in NYC.
What are you planning to do with this character?: Give myself a chance to play against type, explore the other side of the x-equation, get involved in Genoshan/mutant stuff, kick ass, get her ass kicked, and generally flex my writing muscles some here.
What do you want to see happen with this character?: No specific plans, though she will definitely be continually revising her opinions of Andrew, and possibly humanity in general.

Little more... little more...   there...

It was always a delicate balance, amping up her density.  Amp too much and it didn't matter how strong she got; it took too much strength just to move.  Too little and she wouldn't be strong enough for what needed doing.  And Rikki Cargill had never really been one for doing things delicately.  Just her luck to wind up with powers that required that kind of care.

To the shore and no further my ass!  We should be kicking flatscan ass over this!  Show them not to mess with us!

She let out a grunt of frustration, put her back into tossing the broken robot onto the pile with the others.  At six foot three inches, that was plenty of back.

Rikki wiped her brow with the back of her hand, sweating in the hot sun.  "Damn.  How many of these things were there?"
