Ramona

Given Name: Claudia Giovanni
Alias: Zanetti
Furcadia Alt: Zanetti
Species: Homo-superior
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Mutation: Pheromone Manipulation. According to the PowerListing Wikia this ability is a complete control over pheromones that triggers responses in others, usually emotional, that can range from attraction to anger. It can even be used to induce sleep and make those around her suggestible to her and agreeable to her opinions. Her ability to create strong pheromones means that anyone with enhanced sense of smell can follow the pheromone trail she leaves behind and lead them right to her. It can be used to sort of mark her territory, making others wary of trespassing beyond a certain boundary without really understanding why their gut is telling them to back off. Concentrated amounts of the pheromones can make people become disoriented, violent or extremely relaxed (depending on the person), and can even induce a feeling of sickness and dizziness. Mainly she uses this power to increase desire to make others want to please her and give her what she wants, whether it's money or material possessions.

She is only able to control her own pheromones. For some reason anyone who has strong mental abilities can sort through the haze and block them out from having any major effect on them. Anyone with strong willpower (rolling a 1d20, with 15-20 being the highest and 1-5 being the lowest -- 6-14 would be middle ground, and the player decides what happens) are able to resist if they realize what's going on. Her power mainly effects the opposite sex, though it can be used to increase general desires of anyone around her (even if it's just the desire to leave or the desire to have a cheeseburger). It can sometimes cause jealousy and obsessive feelings in others, sometimes possibly even resulting in a dangerous stalker situation.

Secondary Mutation: Social Magnetism: Basically this means she's able to manipulate her pheromones to make others like her more than they usually would have or she could make them feel uneasy around her and repel them from her. They aren't usually able to understand why they feel the attraction or repulsion.

Vasopression Manipulation: A minor form of hormonal manipulation. Vasopression is a hormone that induces a feeling of protectiveness and emotional attachment in others. Claudia can minorly manipulate the hormone in order to make others feel that protective instinct, like a bird guarding its eggs in their nest or a mother protecting her child.

Physical Description: Claudia is 5'6" and weighs 120 pounds. Her figure is full, though still developing, with wide hips, slim waist, and long legs. Most of the time she can be seen with her auburn hair up in a messy bun and bangs brushed out of her face, wearing clothing that is both comfortable and flattering. She seems to have very little interest in what others think of her, if her hastily applied makeup is any indication. Her favorite color is salmon pink, and a large majority of her wardrobe consists of pinks, corals, and magenta. She has a pretty heart-shaped face with honey-gold eyes under professionally shaped brows, a petite pixie nose, and full lips.

Personality: Claudia's independence has caused problems for her before, considering just who her family is. She is used to being coddled and protected, but she doesn't like others to interfere with her decisions. She hates being talked down to and despises when decisions are made for her 'for her own good'. Despite her many pet-peeves, she loves company and her family and will often go out of her way to help them and will never, EVER lie to them even if it means getting into trouble herself. She has a never-ending love of all types of pasta and puzzle games. Her favorite game is Tetris and she owns an old Gameboy that she plays frequently.

History: Claudia Giovanni, later nicknamed Zanetti (which is Italian for 'Little Giovanni'), was born to single mother Clarice Viteri. Her father isn't exactly known but it was believed by everyone who was part of her life that a certain Giovanni was her biological father. In case you don't recognize the name, it's the mafia. Yes, little Claudia was the godfather's daughter! Well, sort of. By the time that it came to light that she wasn't actually related by blood she had already become such an important and loved part of the Family that it just didn't matter... at least for her. Her mother was a different story. All Claudia knew was that one day her mother was there and the next she wasn't. But she was just too young to really understand what happened. Officially adopted into the Family by the age of 4, she grew up surrounded by typical mafia happenings but never was actually allowed to take part in anything dangerous.

Obviously this caused some problems. Since she was so frequently left out of things she developed a habit of wandering off on her own and stuck her nose in where it didn't belong. She was educated by the best private tutors that money could buy, they spared no expense to ensure that she had the best education possible. This also meant that, well, Claudia became spoiled. She had everything she could want and more but she wasn't happy. It became stifling! All the over protectiveness and guards at all times became suffocating... but one day, when she was 9 years old, her father died unexpectedly and Claudia never found out exactly what had happened. Just that the Giovanni she knew and loved was dead and another was in his place as godfather. Rather, godmother. The woman took over the Family with an iron fist and security around Claudia became tighter than ever.

In an effort to make sure that she was not stunted in her social growth Claudia was enrolled in a public school. All her guards were still around though, which probably was the reason why she was never really bullied for long during school. The first few people who tried to establish dominance over her mysteriously disappeared for a few days only to return nervous, jittery, and practically terrified of her. She knew who was to blame, but knew better than to complain because those complaints would just fall on deaf ears. It was around this time, when she was about thirteen years old, that her mutation manifested overnight. One second she was just an average girl and the next no one could get enough of her. She became popular almost instantly! And you know what? She didn't like it. Unfortunately, she couldn't control her powers, the strong output of pheromones that made everyone like her, for another year. With practice, she learned how to control it and use it to her advantage, often using it to manipulate her guards and those who did get close enough to her into doing what she wanted. She also learned that she could create pheromones that sort of marked her territory and repulsed others.

She graduated middle school and was enrolled in a private high school for privileged girls. She excelled in almost all of her classes, developing a fondness for sculpting and music but failing miserably in math and science, and was even pushed up a year. She graduated at 17. It wasn't easy, but she eventually managed to convince the Godmother to allow her to live alone in town. She now resides in a small studio apartment all on her own... at least, she would if that was allowed! Much to her dismay, she knows she is under constant supervision. Video and audio surveillance monitors her apartment 24/7, as well as her computer and phone. She has almost zero privacy (except in the bathroom) wherever she is, no matter what, but it's okay. So long as they don't interfere with her decisions and let her live how she wants to live she really doesn't mind too much... but since when has that ever stopped the mafia?

Possible Future: I'm not sure where she'll end up. We'll have to see how it goes. There's a lot of potential places for her.

Faction: Let's just wing it.

Extra: I totally want her to own a small shop somewhere in town, preferably somewhere that there isn't much traffic. Maybe an antique shop, or a specialty tea and incense shop that caters to the old fashioned folk. Of course it'd be a secret base for the Family to do dirty dealings.

What is the range of her pheromones? How close does she have to be to effect folks? Also, I am always a little nervous about powers like these that control other characters if they don't have a trigger that gets consent from the other player (like having to make eye contact, etc) How will you be getting consent from other players for whether or not they are ok with her controlling their emotions? Aside from these things, I think a pheromone type mutation is a neat power, I just want to make sure no toes will be stepped on :)

About 10 feet, with lingering trail that anyone with enhanced sense of smell can follow, but it fades after several hours. Skin on skin contact is most potent. I would always whisper the player to ask before she uses her powers on their character to avoid controlling them. Godmodding is a huge no.

So at the end of the 10 foot range it won't be as strong as up close, correct? I think I'm on the same page, now, so it looks good to me. You've been around enough I trust that you won't godmod, so I am willing to give you a chance to play this character. I'd still like to see what another mod says, too, however. It's possible they may see something I didn't xD But I'm giving you my approval, anyway.
