Mark 21
[ *  *  *  * ]
Name: Shaina Tyson
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Faction: Mark 21's

Appearance: Shaina stands at 5'7" and weighs roughly 134 pounds. She is Mexican on her mother's side, giving her a light brown skin tone, black hair, and brown eyes. Her body is fairly well toned from her boxing training. Her hair reaches her mid-back and is normally worn in a high ponytail. Her ears have been pierced multiple times and she usually wears a pair of hoops and a few small studs in her ears. Shaina has a few small scars on her face and body due to her mutation, particularly on the palms of her hands. She attempts to cover the scars on her face with makeup.

Shaina's clothing tends to be reflect a biker chick look. She normally wears a black leather jacket over a t-shirt and some torn blue jeans. She's had the jacket for a while, so it is a bit dirty and has a fear small tears in it. She also wears a pair of thick black gloves at all times. She prefers to wear boots, although there are times where she switches to more opened toed shoes.

Biography: Shaina was the oldest child of Brad and Alma Tyson. Her father owned a motorcycle repair shop in Brockton and her mother worked as a florist. Shaina was an only child until she was sixteen, when twins Robert and Clara were born. Alma passed away two years later in a car accident, forcing Shaina to step up and help her father raise the twins. After graduating high school, Shaina began working in her father's shop.

Shaina had always been interested in motorcycles since she was a young girl. She always wanted to learn more about the vehicles, so Brad taught her everything he knew about motorcycle maintenance. Shaina received a used motorcycle when she was eighteen, which she customized with green paint an "S" insignia. The motorcycle, Filosofia, is Shaina's prized possession, and she takes good care of it.

Shaina, being somewhat of a tomboy, had taken to motorcycle maintenance and other hobbies growing up. She began taking boxing lessons when she was fourteen and began to practice in a local gym. This helped her get physically stronger and tougher.

When she was in high school, Shaina found herself getting involved in the Mark 21's. At first, it had been because she was interested in a guy in the group, but she soon found herself drawn to the sense of community it brought. Although Brad didn't like Shaina associating with the group, she ignored his concerns. She often helped work on any motorcycles the gang members had to bring in.

When the Riverside Incident occurred, Brad fell ill and was hospitalized. Shaina also began to notice some changes happening to her body, notable that her fingernails and toenails were beginning to hurt a lot more. Brad soon passed away in the hospital, leaving Shaina responsible for Robert and Clara. Soon, Shaina realized that her nails were growing harder and sharper, but she was unable to trim them at all. Her nails had become as hard as diamond and sharp due to the serum, forcing her to be more careful with how she used her hands.

As the military moved into Brockton, Shaina took Robert and Clara and moved them into the Mark 21 area of Brockton. Shaina and her siblings live in one of the rooms of Hotel Raou, with Shaina having to take a more active role in the Mark 21's to keep a roof over her family's heads. Shaina, nicknamed "Pantera," began to act as a supply runner for the group, usually riding into town on Filosofia looking for food and other supplies. She also returns to her dad's shop in order to do maintenance work if needed. She often engages in looting and theft in order to gather supplies for the gang. She knows it's dangerous, but she feels that the Slum God can provide her and her siblings safety since Shaina could be stolen away by the military due to her powers.

Power: Shaina's fingernails and toenails have grown longer and sharper since coming into contact with the serum. Her nails are only 1 1/2 centimeter long, but due to their diamond like strength, she can't trim them or file them down. They have not grown any longer since the power surfaced, meaning that any damage to her nails is permanent. Because she can't retract them, Shaina is also liable to injure herself and others due to her nails. This means that most times, she must wear thick gloves and boots in order to prevent injury. While her nails are sharp enough to cut flesh and glass, they are unable to cut through anything much more solid like wood, stone, or concrete.

Starting belongings: Along with Filosofia, Shaina also has a set of tools from her father's shop. When she's out on a supply run, she usually carries a monkey wrench with her. She was also given a Beretta 93R from the Mark 21's, although she doesn't like using it.
