The | Secret Identity: Simca Katapiete The | Alias: Swallow The | G e n d e r: Female The | T i m e: 16 years old The | Label: Metahuman The | Origin: Born in a farm, in the Outskirts of Jump City The | B e a t:Natasha Shneider - Who's In Control
"I've spent my childhood caged. By accepting who I am - all of who I am - I can be free... And freedom is power. I am a Swallow, a free spirit that soars above all. And so... my adventure begins."
Your | A p p e a r a n c e :
Hair that is long, an unusual colour of bright pink, and shaped. It had been separated into two "wings" that sprout from her head. With the light texture of her sparkling hair, it defines her rounded, emerald green eyes which can alter her toughened expression into that of a child's. In her pale pigment, it shows that she isn't one to be in the daylight much.
Her body is slender, attractive and in shape, constantly training her body. Normally Simca just wears her school uniform, though, sometimes she finds herself dressed in just regular clothes, a green tanktop and a pair of white shorts. A pair of black, knee-length green and black boots will find themselves attached to her feet.
Your | T a l e n t s:
Air Walking: Simca's powers allow her to think of wind as a solid surface, and jump on it, punch it, kick it, etc. However, this doesn't mean she can walk on wind like a staircase. She can fly into the air as if she were kicking on two walls over and over again; that is, she can only consider wind as a surface for no more than a second at a time. This power allows her to perform awe-striking stunts in mid-air.
Her "air walking" in mid air, is just like a rock skipping on a body of water; she can skip in the air by constantly kicking the air underneath her. This power is limited to allowing her to fly completely and freely, and kicking the wind doesn't make the wind move. Wind is a like an elastic substance that can be used to propel movement, nothing else.
Martial Arts Prowess: Apart from this ability, Simca has learned many fighting styles, but her primary form of combat is an idiosyncratic admixture of Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Muay Thai, Karate, Boxing, Jujitsu, and Ninjitsu. Due to her martial arts training, she has developed the following abilities by extensive training:
Enhanced Reflexes Enhanced Strength Knowledge of Pressure Points Weapons Master Master of Stealth Acrobatic/Athletic Maneuvering of Her Body
Your | S t y l e:
Simca is usually depicted as having a Beast Boy-ish personality, and is often seen with a calm and sweet expression on her face. But unlike Beast Boy, she rarely acts on impulse and usually thinks things through before she does anything. She also is very close to her friends and is very hesitant to put them in harm's way. If someone hurts her loved ones, she applies a completely different persona to her sweet, flirty, fun-loving and calm nature, going sadistic and serious and ready to hurt the person who hurt her loved ones in painful ways.
She is also a romantic, believing that love is a beautiful thing and should blossom, but she does not actively look for a partner, as she is afraid of the concepts of betrayal, cheating and the ending of a relationship. That doesn't prevent her from being an open flirt with boys, however.
She envies beings who can fly, believing that the Sky is the only place one can be free in this world. And she longs for that freedom; a freedom in which she can be good, very good, but when she wants, she can be bad too... but only as bad as she wants to be. And so, she's a Swallow, dangerous, yet beautiful, bad, yet good. She's free.
Your | S t o r y :
On a clear, grassy field, a lone hill stood towering above... well... nothing. But still higher than the flat field. And on top of the hill, on the grassy hill, lied a young four year old pink-haired girl, chasing a swallow. But everytime she tried, the swallow flew away. She chased and chased it until she reached the edge of the hill. And she stopped. She could not go any further. She watched the swallow fly away, under the clouds, towards the horizon, free in the wind, to do as it pleased. To be as it pleased.
She sighed sadly, unable to follow the bird. But then her expression changed; she smiled and let out a laugh. Why did she do that? Why did she laugh? Was it so much fun to see your playmate fly away?
But it was no mere coincidence that she was attracted to the sky, it was in her blood, her kindred spirit... was in love with the air.
"Simca?!"
She bolted upright and walked backwards, away from the edge of the hill.
"Coming, Mama!" she yelled, turning around and running towards the source of the first voice, but not before looking back at the swallow, that was now well over the horizon.
"I'll fly with chu one day! I'll be fwee like chu!" she promised in squeaky four-year-old voice.
Simca Katapiete was born in the outskirts of Jump City. For her early life she worked in the farm with her parents. Her father, however, caught the flu and died. She worked with her mother on the farm, working her arms until they did not have any feel in them left anymore, after which she would go in her room and study. But work was not enough, and soon they had to sell the farm animals and land, and move to the city. Her mother got a job as a secretary in the Jump City branch of Wayne Enterprises (how a farm-woman managed such a high-ranking job, no one understands yet) and life started to move on for the better. But it was not enough for Simca. She wanted to be free. To fly in the sky along with the swallows and gulls, hawks and doves. She wanted to sprout wings and be free like the air, travelling where she wanted, whenever she wanted.
Until it became unbearable. On her thirteenth birthday, as careless as her mind was, laughing and smiling, she jumped straight off the edge of her apartment, down to the ground, closing her eyes, with a deep smile on her face. letting the wind brush against her body. It felt... so right.
Pretty soon she realized that she wasn't flying. But still, as if it naturally came to her, she spun her body around horizontally, feet downwards, and stomped on the wind under her. Her inertia was totally negated and she was floating in mid-air... for about three seconds. Then she resumed falling again, but with a few continuous steps and mid-air acrobatics that came to her naturally, she landed gently on the ground.
Since then, her true happiness began. She was free, free to soar through the skies... and fulfill her dream. To touch the sky.
To be free.
By and by, time passed. Her mother passed away when she was 15. Having no one else left to cage her, Simca left school and focused her time on her powers and training martial arts. But she kept the school uniform, simply because she liked it. Taking upon the alias "Swallow", Simca became a teen super-heroine, eventually finding her way as an ally to, and later a member of, the prestigious Teen Titans. She grew to love the group, them actually being her first friends, and is ready to do anything for the team.

I greatly apologize for how long this took. College applications have been taking up a lot of my time. I do think Simca's app is good, though. I accept her.
NightBlade: Your character seems incredibly powerful - though I'm not sure if he would count as overpowered. I'd need a second - or third - opinion. Al, Kyo? What do you think?
If it is any consolation, I am actually enthusiastic about utilizing the "spare body" feature, which means that I must get destroyed a lot. I also do not mean to make NightBlade sound indestructible. I only wish to make it clear that he is not one of those one-hit kill destructible minions you often see in cartoon shows...

The | Secret Identity: Yuki Karasu Tsukiyomi(full name; just call her Yuki) The | Alias: Yuki The | G e n d e r: [Gender] Female The | T i m e: [Age] 15 The | Label: [Race] Hybrid; Half demon, Half Human The | Origin: Earth The | B e a t: [Theme song: Optional]
(or black) " Forbidden to Remember. Tempted to forget. "
Your | A p p e a r a n c e : Yuki often wears a black uniform with black thigh-high tights and black boots. A red bow is placed at the top of this uniform, above her bosom, and a white cuff on the elbow of her right arm. She wears a white shirt beneath, along with a black miniskirt, and a silver necklace and bracelet.
Another outfit she is seen wearing is a blackish-blueish long-sleeve, skinny gown that has frills at the end of the sleeves. A white pattern lines the bosom and sleeves. A bead necklace wraps around her neck, holding a silver key. However, this attire isn't worn too often.
Your | T a l e n t s: Silver Rod and Bloody Rose Gun -
Yuki uses her Silver Rod that can be pushed down to the size of a pen, which she attaches to her thigh. When used in battle, it can shock someone, sending a shock through them on contact - similar to a small lightening attack.
Another weapon Yuki uses is a silver gun, which she attaches to her side. She calls this gun the "Bloody Rose" because of the symbol it fires, and because the name is etched into the gun. When the trigger is pulled, a symbol(the Bloody Rose) is shot out of the gun, much like an X that Red X uses to trap his enemies. This symbol, if aimed correctly, sends the opponent backward, trapping them against a solid surface(ex. a tree or wall), and paralyzes them temporally, anywhere from a few moments to an hour. Once the effect wears off, or is pulled off with a special technique, the symbol vanishes, and the victim returns back to normal in regular health. Yuki uses the Bloody Rose to trap, paralyze, and/or capture her opponents.
Reflexes - Yuki has, quick, feline-reflexes; reflexes of that of a cat. These reflexes are a mixture of her demon instincts, and her hunter techniques. She can dodge attacks swiftly, balance and climb well, and seems to be pretty fast. She is always able to land on her feet, and can jump higher than any human.
Empathy -
Empathy - psionic ability of empathy, the power to absorb emotions, enabling her to feel and sense the feelings of others, or when one is near. Emotion Negation - She can also use her empathy to steal emotions from others, rendering them emotionally "numb". Empathic Healing - She can absorb the pain of injured people to ease their suffering, and induce rapid healing.
Cryokinesis - Yuki is able to manipulate, form, or control ice at her will. However, she only uses this power when the 'going gets tough', or when need be.
Your | S t y l e: Yuki can be mysterious at times. She can act emotionless, and not say much, or she can be silent and look scary. Yuki doesn't mean to look scary, but sometimes she appears that way. She likes dressing in black or red, or even lolita at times.
Often, Yuki is a trickster, and can be very sneaky, sly, or plotting. Yuki can be arrogant, or act rude, but that's just how she is when you don't know her personally. Yuki may have a hard cover, but she really cares on the inside, and is actually really out-going, even if she doesn't seem to care. Yuki may seem like a mean goth girl, but she's really just a shy, innocent, selfless girl at heart, even if she seems to have an attitude, or act arrogant for no reason.
All Yuki really wants is someone who understands her, and looks over appearances.
Your | S t o r y : Yuki has always been dark, and much to her self. Even when she was a child. And even now, Yuki remains secluded and to herself, and dark, like a goth, but she isn't what she seems.
When Yuki was younger, she thought of herself as a human, as did everyone else, unaware of her demon powers that lay dormant within her. However, Yuki always longed to be something more than a human....and she was.
Yuki would pretend to be a raven or bat when she was younger, having a passion for these creatures of the night. She also liked Vampires, and always had wanted to meet one, thinking of them as celebrities or idols rather than beasts of the night. Yuki always had a liking toward the darkness, black, and horror/vampire movies/novels, rather than the normal sunshine, pink, and romance/popular novels/movies. And ever since she was a child, Yuki has always been seen in black, even today, she wears black. And because of her love for darkness and morbid things, Yuki was secluded at school. Everyone thinking she was 'scary' or 'monster-like', no one wanted to be her friend. People sent glares and terrible faces towards her, as no one else in the little town her family lived in ever dressed or looked this way. No one but her parents accepted her, and that's how it has always been.
Yuki was born from a demon mother, and a human father; therefore making her half human, and half demon. Her mother, Sakura, was an ice demon that attained an appearance of a human. Yuki's father, Kaito, was a special human, a hunter that hunted and killed demons and vampires. It was surprising when he fell in love with the very species he had been killing, and Sakura had always hated humans, that is, until she unsuspectingly fell in love with Kaito. They got married, and soon enough, had a girl they named Yuki Tsukiyomi.
However, Yuki seemed to resemble, and thought of herself as a human, and did ordinary things, like going to school, and for the most part, had a normal life. But nor did she nor her parents did not yet know that she was part demon. She spent most of her time with her father, the hunter, and learned all sorts of hunting techniques and how to use certain weapons, such as swords and guns. Yuki spent a great deal of time with her father, wanting to be like him, and she was very close to him. She rarely spent any time with her mother, as they never truly had any sort of bond in Yuki's childhood years since she was believed to be pure human. Yuki felt as if she hadn't inherited anything from her mother, so they had no reason to bond.
But in Yuki's preteen years, when Yuki was 11 and 12, her powers and demon years were awakened, and she was seen to be not only human, but demon as well. When her mother realized this, she was delighted. Her daughter and herself finally had something in common! Yuki had finally inherited something from her mother. Because of these powers, Yuki was taught how to use and control them, and her mother started to bond with her more. Yuki's mother was grateful for the bonding, but Yuki, on the other hand, only did this to please her mother, and learn her newly found powers. Of course, Yuki loved her mother, but she felt as if she should have been spending more time with her father, fore she was much closer to her father than she had ever been to her mother.
A decade past, Yuki was 13. She was part demon, so she had inherited a demon's years in age. Shortly after, Yuki's father died, being a human, and old in age.
This hurt Yuki terribly. Yuki couldn't bare it. She couldn't speak for days. She had loved her father so much, and spent so much time with him; she even resembled him. She began to get angry, knowing she would never see her father again, and started to curse her heritage and species. Why couldn't she have left with him? Why did she have to be part demon? Why did he have to marry a demon? Yuki was depressed; in denial. All she could think about was resenting her parents for marrying each other, especially her mother, even though she had nothing to do with her husband's death. But even so, Yuki resented her and blamed herself and her mother for her father's death. She began to yell at her mother, saying things like "Why did you have to marry a human? Why did he have to marry you, a demon? Why couldn't you just fall in love with your own race? Why did you have to fall in love with a human, and why he, a demon? Why can't I just be in a normal, pure race family?!" Yuki was outraged, feeling like she and, for the most part, that her mother was the cause of her father's death. 'If I had been pure demon, or pure human, like I had thought before, then my family life would have been normal. If mother had married a demon instead of a human, I would not have had to suffer like this', Yuki thought. But her mother had married a human, and her father had married a demon. There was nothing she could do to change that. She was stuck with her mother, her father now dead.
Yuki only had her mother now. A few years past, and Yuki and her mother became distant, and barely spoke to each other. Yuki's mother hoped that their constant arguments and silence wouldn't last, and that their bond would eventually come back. She knew Yuki was still depressed,and wanted to give her time to get over it. But, unfortunately, even her mother wasn't meant to last forever. One day, while Yuki was out shopping and doing errands, angry over a previous argument with her mother, a hunter broke into their home, and killed her mother. So, when Yuki came home that day, she found her mother dead, and the house ruined. Yuki was devastated.
Yuki wept for her, but not as much as she had for her father. But, she still missed her mother. Again, Yuki blamed herself for her mother's death. 'If I would have been here....I would have been able to protect her...' Yuki thought.
She had lost her father and mother, and had spent very little time with them. She was on her own now. And for a year, she stayed this way: alone, by herself. And even though she had always liked being alone, after a year, Yuki tired of the bad memories and sadness living in the home she had grown up in gave her. Yuki wished to be with normal people again, even if they did resent her and send freaky looks and glares. Yuki was still part human, and she felt loneliness that she had never felt before. She wanted to be around others.
And so, Yuki dropped out of school, and ran away from her home and the town she had always known. She is 15, now wandering in Jump City, as she has become quite find of it. She continues to wander the city and it's exteriors, exploring for somewhere to stay, somewhere to eat, a battle to fight, a book to read, or anything that fulfills her desires. Yuki is often looking for someone who accepts her, hoping she will find someone who will not give her glares or disgusted faces, and that will stay with her, and truly understand her for who she really is.
[Please at least detail how your character has come to where they are now.]

In other words, Yuki is neutral, and hadn't chose a side yet.
