Sasha Grovian
Name: Sasha Ashley Grovian
Codename: Kill Switch
Age: 42
Apparent Age: 21
Date of Birth: 17 August
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight, but sometimes experiments. Often overly flirtatious, she is very forward – sometimes too sexually confronting – and even openly flirting with some teachers. She previously has had a fling with one of the staff…
She’s had many boyfriends, but she gets bored quickly, dumping them after a short time. Some fell intimidated by her strength of personality, and this is where her reputation is founded.
Appearance:
Sasha is one tall girl. She stands at 5’ 9’’ with long legs and the matching intimidating presence, yet graceful stature. Her naturally wavy, thick dark brown hair flows long, which she sometimes wears straight, and compliments her intense eyes, that are illuminated by charcoal eyeliner. She can usually be seen wearing an item of black clothing – black being her signature colour – and in styles that are girly, in fashion or couture. However, her ‘superhero’ costume is a black corset, with black elbow length gloves, tight black skinny leg jeans and of course, black spiked boot heels, sometimes with a black cape.
Celeb: Katharine McPhee
Powers:
Empathy
In essence, it's the ability to sense human emotions. However, the owner may also alter their emotions or transmit & transfer their own onto others. The control and use of other beings' powers is also possible, in which tapping into the emotions of another allows the bearer to this.
[Extension: Electro Mental Ignitions]
The ability to establish a mind link with someone and forcing them to relive traumatic events, enough so to electrify them and destroy their mind. However, there is no other way to generate electricity.
Negation
The ability to render energy forces ineffective, or simply, cancel their power force. This may be triggered automatically. The negation is generally invisible as either a field surrounding the owner or in bolts/balls of energy emanating from the hands, mouth or eyes. This power may be manipulated to stop individual forces, like brain activity, making someone fall asleep, or the life force of others, killing them. Some limitations, however, include having to be in the radius of the magical energy, or having the negative force hit the target (either person or power).
[Extention: Flight]
The ability to fly through the negation of gravity.
[Extention: Age Defiance]
A side effect which has slowed down the aging process.
Molecular Immobilisation
The ability to slow down molecules to the point where they freeze or stop moving, rather than stopping time. At first, she simply ‘froze’ everything in her immediate vicinity, later learning to selectively freeze certain objects. Indoors, her powers were checked by walls, working only on objects in the room she was in. However, she can freeze objects/people in other rooms, provided she has an unobstructed path to them, such as an open doorway.
Affiliation: Admin Approved
Personality:
Sasha is quite complex and moody/emotional; demonstrating very animated emotions like enthusiasm and energy, confidence, adventure and courage, but at the same time, being able to switch to extremely dark character traits like selfishness, cunning, manipulative, cruel and vindictive. This ties well with her powers, as she can swap her moods in a skip of a heartbeat. Most never know how she will react, making her unpredictable in her actions as well as posing a threat to those in the firing line. However, she is mostly quite funny in the way that she can be rude or insulting while somewhat caring.
Family:
Father – George Grovian
Mother – Alicia Grovian
Siblings – OPEN & Wanted, but PM me with ideas 1st
Child – Age: 19, OPEN & Wanted, but PM me with ideas 1st
History: Some information has been omitted for plot mystery - Admin approved.
Sasha has had a mixed life. Some of her memories have been extremely joyful and filled with love, but other times, she couldn’t have imagined living an any more cruel existence. It wasn’t that anything traumatic had happened in particular, but her mutant abilities certainly got her into a lot of trouble when she was younger, which was quite some time ago, considering one of her abilities has the side effect of defying age. It also meant that she was confused as to her allegiance, being torn between the struggle of good and evil, but soon overcame this eternal conflict by choosing to be independent.
Her abilities surfaced in her late childhood, just in time for puberty, and Sasha has developed them well over the years. However, during her teen years, until she learned how to control them (in the same generation as Charles Xavier and Magneto), she was constantly switching between what she was feeling and what others were, and sometimes adapting to the characteristics of people and mutants she sensed. As her empathy grew, she could use others’ abilities when they felt an extreme emotion (connected to their ability) and had a hard time controlling it, at one point, unknowingly picking up pyrokinesis from her date and killing a homeless man, which culminated to where she voluntarily left to finish her schooling in isolation in Europe, and then concentrated on control. When she did, she realised that her power was not limited to emotions, but rather, she had a strength in negating energy forces, which proved to be deadly.
However, like most high school graduates, she started college (after a gap year) at New York University studying Teaching with majors in English/Journalism and Drama, finding a job soon after graduating, and her first husband. For the next two years she lived a relatively normal life with her husband and working, as well as having a child. But the happiness didn’t last long. Sasha was head hunted by a secret mutant organisation to which she gladly chose over her family, being trained as an operative spy (martial arts, weapons & power development). After many years, she returned to her first husband, not expecting very much, only to find him with a new family, which she instantly resented and became bitter toward.
From there, she generally lived a double life, teaching and working for different agencies where needed, also finding and losing a second husband (no children) while climbing the social ladder. Further over time, she has become more interested in the science behind mutation and has come to The Academy to learn more, under the naughty guise that she’s actually 21, rather than 42!

- Works better alone, but can do well in groups.

- Doesn’t usually care about consequences
RP Sample:
As he lay on one of the steps not far from the top, he regained his breath quickly - Brandon was very fit and he barely felt the pain - he was very resilient. He started to get up as a girl came up to him and apologised after rambling some. She seemed somewhat flustered, but she was quite attractive, which he probably would have noticed if he paid attention to where he was going and probably still would have tripped over her leg because of it. Jokingly, he said, Do you try and finish off your victims by talking them to death? and he chuckled a little. He smiled, and looked into her eyes, and then he disappeared in a red glow, along with his cell, which was a few steps down. It was a clone.
Brandon rematerialised another clone at the top of the steps, one which had no effects of the fall and he walked over to the girl, "So, who can I thank for the trip?" he joked again, hoping this would ease her worries some.
