Name: Elisabeth Glorianna Braddock
Nicknames: Bets, Psy, Psy-Psy, Lis, Lissie
Code Name: Psylocke
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Powers/Special Abilities:
Telekinesis: Ability to psionically manipulate the physical aspects of reality. She can also move and levitate other people. While she can move objects from a distance and fly as other telekinetics do, she has shown little inclination to do either in combat situations. She can also create telekinetic shields of various sizes and strength and she can fire mental force blasts that can “shatter mountains.” Her telekinesis is also much stronger now. Psylocke seems to find that using her telekinesis in forceful ways is easier than in delicate ways (i.e. she can shatter a brick wall more easily than she can slowly levitate a pencil across a room)
Enhance Physical Traits: Uses her telekinesis to enhance her speed, strength and fighting skills into super-human levels.
Telepathic Immunity: Immune to any form of others' telepathy–including telepathic attacks, probes or even attempts at communication.
Reality Warping Immunity: Due to her brother Jamie's alterations, Psylocke is also immune or at least highly-resistant to physical and mental alteration by beings who can radically restructure reality.
Telepathic Tracking: Enhanced psionic senses enabled her to detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations (thought patterns contained in the psionic portion of the spectrum) especially if they posed a threat to her well-being in her immediate vicinity.
Psychic Shadow: She is able to mask her presence from others. Her abilities can go undetected and are very difficult to track, even by very powerful telepaths such as Shadow King. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well.
Mind Control: Capable of controlling the minds of others.
Telepathic Illusions: She has the ability to create illusions to make herself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that were not truly happening.
Mental Paralysis: Ability to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis
Amnesia: Can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.
Psionic Blasts: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which could affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness or even death.
Astral Projection: Can project her astral form from her body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the astral plane, she could mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment.
Precognition: Psylocke occasionally has precognitive dreams.
Appearance:
Personality:
Having been a successful model for some years, Elisabeth has obtained a general knowledge of different cultures, skills in presentation and fashion, how to mingle with people of great importance/famous people/wealthy people/aristocrats, and most importantly, she has learned world class ettiquecy. In addition to this, due the the merging of her psychic essence with an Asian assassin named Kwannon, She can read, write and communicate fluently in a few varied forms of Japanese language. Though in a Japanese body, she still possesses her British accent. However, she is fluent in French, Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese.
HATES the name Betsy, therefore Psy prefers to not go by this name. Bets, ‘Beth, Psy, Psy-Psy, Psylocke, Lis, Elisabeth, ‘Lisbeth, Lissie, etc. all work nicely.
Elisabeth is a mass of contradictions. On one hand, she is a gentle, caring woman who is protective of her friends and family. She is sassy, flirtatious, and delightfully random at times. On the other, she is a ruthless combatant who will often instigate a confrontation that might otherwise have been avoided. She also shows an increasing willingness to sacrifice everything, including her life and those of others, in order to bring about a greater good.
Hobbies:
Elisabeth enjoys spending her time practicing her moves in martial arts. Also she loves to go on frequent shopping trips. Psy likes to give favored people nicknames to show said favor toward them. Is often found in articles of clothing that are either revealing, clingy, accentual to her shape, or all of the above. She finds Astronomy, and Psychology very interesting and often wonders at times why people are here, and what is there purpose in life.
Weapons/Equipment/Skills
Telekinetic Katana: Psylocke can manifest a telekinetic katana blade composed of raw psi-energy, which at its lowest intensity, functions to disrupt neural pathways and sever the bonds between molecules, and at its highest level, her katanas can slice an armored opponent and cut through the armor, but leave the attacker physically unharmed. She can also use her swords to shatter telepathic power-inhibitors imposed on others.
Psychic Knife: Described as "the focused totality of her psychic powers," by intensely channeling and focusing her psionic powers to her hands to create “psychic blades”, razor-sharp edges of pure mental energy which were said to be the ultimate physical manifestation of her powers which she plunged into the minds of her targets directly, which she often used to disrupt the neurons of her foes by driving the glowing "blade" of mental energy into their skulls. It is able to kill.
Master Martial Artist: Psylocke has been classified as a master martial artist, though the specific fighting arts she has mastered have never been revealed. Presumably, as a ninja, she is skilled in various Ninjutsu techniques such as Taijutsu and Ninjaken. Her skills have been said to rival those of a ninja master.
Master Telepathic Combatant: As a telepath, Psylocke used to take advantage of her powers in a fight by reading her opponents' movements seconds before they made them, giving her the opportunity to counter-attack faster, and she could also use her telepathy to mask her presence from other people, humans and superhumans alike. She also used to create telepathic illusions to distract her enemies while fighting them and as a ninja, she used her psychic knife to incapacitate her opponents without killing them, though she has less inhibitions about doing so and will if necessary.
Advanced Telekinetic Combatant: As a telekinetic, she often uses her powers to augment her strength and speed, which makes her fighting skills so strong that she was able to match and even outmatch other superhumanly strong opponents.
Bionic Eyes: Mojo gave Psylocke bionic eyes that acted as remote cameras; she lost these after being body-swapped.
History:
Elisabeth "Betsy" Braddock is the daughter of Dr. James Braddock. Living in England, Dr. Braddock became one of the United Kingdom's leading research scientists. He married a woman named Elizabeth and they bought the mansion they renamed Braddock Manor. Dr. and Mrs. Braddock's three children, the eldest, Jamie, and the twins, Brian and Elisabeth (nicknamed "Betsy"), inherited genes from their father that endowed them with superhuman powers. The children's powers, however, remained latent for many years. Dr. and Mrs. Braddock were killed in an explosion in Dr. Braddock's laboratory at Braddock Manor that was caused by the malfunctioning computer Mastermind.
Betsy developed the psychic ability, also developed a highly successful career as a fashion model. Some time later, with her psychic powers growing, Betsy made mental contact with a S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi agent (S.T.R.I.K.E. being Special Tactical Response for International Key Emergencies, the U.K.'s equivalent of the U.N.s S.H.I.E.L.D. agency), and was soon recruited. Was taught her to harness the trauma she had felt, using it to develop and strengthen her psi powers. Betsy eventually returned home to Braddock Manor. Subsequently R.C.X., the agency which had replaced S.T.R.I.K.E., came to Braddock Manor seeking Captain Britain's aid. When Brian refused to work with them, they tricked him into leaving the country, then they persuaded Betsy to become the new Captain Britain. Using Captain Briton's costume, Betsy magnified her strength to superhuman levels when she wore it and could fly.
The hero Captain UK trained Betsy in crime fighting skills and became partners for several months. Soon after opting to go solo as the new Captain, Brian's enemy the Vixen lured her into an ambush, where Slaymaster brutally beat Betsy and blinded her. Her brother came to her rescue, and once again took up the Captain Britain mantle. Betsy was offered new cybernetic eyes by RCX, but refused, preferring to rely on her telepathy. Betsy was kidnapped from the Alps by Mojo and surgically given artificial eyes, restoring her sight.
Xavier's New Mutants rescued Betsy, and she chose to stay at the Xavier Institute. The so called "Mutant Massacre" occurred shortly thereafter, drawing Betsy into combat once more as she fought of the savage Sabretooth in a brawl throughout the mansion. Impressed by her courage, the battle-ravaged X-Men offered her a position on the team. Betsy accepted, and adopted the codename Psylocke.In one of Psylocke's more bizarre encounters, crime lord Matsuo Tsurayaba captured her and switched bodies with his lover Kwannon. Betsy lived, but was now forever in Kwannon's Japanese body.

Role Playing Sample:
Elisabeth blinked and yawned as she listened to some old rich bloke talk about how he thought that immigrants were draining the economy. She came to these sort of 'events' to see what other rich people in the area were thinking, her conclusions were that they were racists and the didn't like mutants very well. Oh how she missed England. If only there were a rich mutant club, were they could talk about anything. Not every mutant could come though it would have to be passed down threw generations or something. She shook her head and got up walking down a golden stair case. Elisabeth looked around for a moment trying to remember where she had left her all black Versace coat. Spotting it on a rack with the others she wrinkled her nose and went to pull it from the rack away from a horrible walmart jacket.
Outside her Gucci high heels clicked and clacked against the pavement. She had to be high class coming to one of these places. When ever she was on a mission she went all out with fighting styles. She was too close to becoming a world black belt in martial arts. She held her jacket close to her cause the Chanel outfit she had on wasn't warming her up at all.
She clicked a button her her keys that she got out while coming down the stairs case, giving the old man who was about to say something slick to her, to shut up and walk away. She clicked the button again and looked for a pair of headlights to a three month old Lamborghini. Walking over to it she bent down and open the door which went straight up instead on out wards. She threw her Anna Sui bag inside and shut the door.
Looking ahead at the park a few blocks away, she decided that she would relax and clear her mind taking a stroll threw the park. She opened her car again and got out a purple scarf. She locked her doors and started to walk towards the park. Her mind was like a maze, so much was on it but it all lead to one thing. Elisabeth knew for certain that if any old hobo that tried to make the moves on her, would have it coming for them.
She clenched her hands into fists and they started to glow with purple energy. She stuff her hands inside of her pockets, when people passed her. She decided not to think about her own problems. Elisabeth started to pick up on the thoughts of those surrounding her.
"What's that Asian doing out at this time? Doesn't she know there are thugs that will rob her?"
"Holy crap that is one hot Asian chick..If I could have one night alone with that piece of..oh god she's watching me.."
"Go back to China.."
"I love your brother not you Tom.."
"Man I wish I had punched that guy today"
"Ok tomorrow maybe tomorrow I will quit"
"That's a nice jacket"
Elisabeth sighed and walked into the park slowly. Enjoying the sudden peace. Even though she could still hear the people, cause her powers were getting stronger. She blocked them from her mind. She ran her fingers threw her hair letting it fall in her face. She liked when it was out, and not in a pony tail, she felt more free that way. Taking in deep breath's, smelling the comfy earthy smell of the different trees. Hearing a distant owl and she smiled. Walking around a small corner she wrinkled her brows hearing thoughts that weren't her own.

Elisabeth has violet eyes that seem brown in the darkness. Her hair colour is black/and or purple. There seems to be an Asian “theme” to her style and she adores corsets. Psylocke reeks of seduction and confidence and it shows in her step. She learned how to carry oneself and sit properly from her modeling days in Britain; her shoulders are always straight, her hips saunter, and when she is sitting, she never slouches.
