Powers/Special Abilities:
Planetea:
Her mutant status took on a rather interesting power. When she transforms her skin takes on a green hue, and her hair turns into strands of grass and ivy with flowers integrated through the tresses. Talk about flower child. She can also use her body as a weapon in this stage, as she is in reality nothing but plants. Being able to morph any ligament into thorny ropes (legs, arms, fingers, hair, ect.), or into an intricate web of twines and grasses to capture her prey. But along with this Ash can bend the plant world to her will. She is able to bring life to flowers, trees, and other plants, and use them as her minions by infusing a part of her being into them. She has also figured out how to use her powers to help plants grow, but that she likes using for her personal plants and such. The down side to this however is that if one of her underlings is harmed or destroyed she would feel part of their pain. Her weakness is fire, herbicides, and other stuff that can harm plants. If she were to ever been hurt severely, nature would take over and cocoon her in a protective shell of plants. Recharging herself through sunlight and water, just like your typical plant.

Ash is a true brunette with lighter highlights spaced through the strands. Dark brown eyes accent her dark hair. Her skin is slightly tanned with its own natural glow to it. When transforms into her plant form she becomes a green and plant version of herself. She stands at an average height of about 5’6”, and weighs about 125lbs. Her body type could be described as slim, and curvy.

Her usual attire consists of blue jeans and a t-shirt, or jacket/ hoodie, and sneakers. She prefers natural shades, such as green and brown, with splashes of color. But on occasion she will wear something like a skirt or dress. But no matter what she wears a gold bracelet with her name etched in it is always about her wrist, along with a rose pendent necklace, and matching earrings.

Personality:
Usually she is a nature loving almost hippy like person. Loving and caring to her friends, but like a rose has a thorn, she came be hurtful. She avoids fights at all costs, but if provoked this flower will fight with little to no mercy. Ash is smart and respects all aspects of nature.

Weapons/Equipment/Skills
Her morphed body is her weapon, along with her abilities to call upon the aid of plant life. She is considered a novice fighter though, choosing not to get into confrontations if possible. Ash is also a skilled gardener and student.

History:
Ashtin grew up in your normal urban area, nestled safely in the middle of civilization. Her mother and father owned a little green house and flower shop in town. They spent all their dreams building that little store up. And the joy of teaching Ash to love and respect plants just added the icing to the cake. They taught her that everything, even plants have a spirit that can be called upon and spoken too. Complete nature freaks some would call them. Ash is an only child of her parent Connie and Marcus, and she lived out a normal childhood. Went to school, plays, and ordinary activities a child would be interested in.

That was all about to change however. On Ash’s 15th birthday she was in the shop with her father helping to take care of the flowers and plants. When a man entered with a gun and demanded all the money in the cash register. Fear coursed through Ashtin as the thief grabbed her father by the collar shoving the gun into his face. But that fear soon turned to hatred and anger. How dare someone attempt to hurt her father? And as those emotions surged through her the mutated ability arose. Transforming she attacked the robber, and sent some of the plant life in the shop after him. She would have killed him if it were not for her father. Marcus came up and hugged his daughter, but the energy she had used caused her to pass out.

Then she awoke the store was a wreck, with plants, pieces of the walls, and shattered glass scattered everywhere, and the burglar was being rushed out in an ambulance. Her father’s expression was of fright. Seeing this, Ash could not control herself and ran off crying. She soon came upon someone going to XSFGY, and thought that was the perfect place to stay out of trouble. And so her training and teachings began.

Role Playing Sample:
The sun that shown in through the roof of the green house spread warmth upon the girl’s skin. Sitting in the city’s public plant houses had become Ash’s favorite pass time. Smiling she tilted her chin towards the rays, loving the exposure. Seated up a cushioned bench in the center of the facility, Ash was enjoying her usual afternoon of reading. A book lay open upon her lap. She was attired in a white skirt and pale yellow tank top that was covered by a light weight white sweater.

Elegantly crossing her right leg over the other she bobbed her foot out of boredom. “Such a beautiful day.” Ash whispered to herself. Her brown eyes gazed over at the potted rose bud on the table next to her. With a soft smile she stroked her index finger along the delicate petals. Slowly the flower began to open. “Well hello there.” She whispered quietly to the rose.

Closing the book on her lap she tucked in to her back pack that was resting on the floor, before standing up. Swinging the pack over her should she stepped outside the greenhouse she stretched her arms. Looking around all seemed quiet. That was until she heard something crash on the other side of the house. Curious she ventured towards where the sound had come from. What she found irritated her.

A group of kids were knocking over potted plants and trees, laughing menacingly. A growl escaped Ash as she stepped forward. “Excuse me, just what to do you think you’re doing.” She demanded from the group, placing her hands on her hips. The kids turned to her and scuffed. “Anything we want. What are you going to do about it?” One of them asked. Anger grew inside Ash, and her transformation began.

morphing into a green color her hair took on its grassy appearance. Her clothes remained intact, and her right hand elongated taking on a whip like appearance. “This.” She stated tossing her new appendage at them, lashing at their rumps. The group members yelled as they were hit and ran off. “Much better.” Ash stated when they were gone, and let her form return to its human appearance.
