The mark of the beast-the influences-

Descriptions of abilities:
Heightened senses-
The 5 senses, her 5 senses are heightened and highly sensitive, her sense of smell allows her to recognize certain unidentifiable odors and scents such as phereomones set off by a persons mood. Her sight is sharp, letting her her see ahead for miles and read extremely quick movements, her eyesight can also adapt to allow her to see in the dark, much like a felines or a dog. Her sense of touch and taste, she can withstand low temperatures and to an extent very high heat levels, works better when concentrating. Her hearing allows her to hear a pin drop in the next room or a whisper from across the room.

Wieght manipulation-
As a perk hope can control whether she will be unmovable from any certain spot or whether she'll be as light as a feather. though she has claws she finds she rarely ever wants to use them for she finds to her distaste that they remind her of her parentage as well as her right eye.

Voice Persuasion-
She can use her voice to influence one’s mood or actions by utilizing her vocal chords in different frequencies to make one’s actions a little more malleable and influential. She often uses it in speech, or in song, having a habit of humming in doing daily activities or in other situations be it in battle or arguments. She can harness it to disperse bursts of sound waves, magnifying her voice at low or extremely high pitched or harmonize levels.

Healing factor/ blood manipulation-
She can manipulate her blood in several different ways.. It acts as a healing agent, poison and a way to control and manipulate a person upon consumption, upon consumption it lasts until she relinquishes her bond willingly or upon death.
she has a natural and heightened healing factor, though it is not as strong as her father's or her other siblings it still proves effective to her when needed.
She also produces a natural ability to heal others by touch, when she see's it necessary.

Energy manipulation/Healing/ molecular manipulation-
She can also manipulate the living potential and kinetic energy around her into raw form and draw it from the nexus, manipulating it and making it more malleable for her to concentrate into any form or part of her body that she see’s fit. Turning her into a living weapon and a ticking time bomb, leaving her able to fire them on command like a gun. When concentrated to her hands she can disperse her molecules thinly and reach into a persons body, cleanly, and extract the very essence of a being, that being a persons soul or dark corruption. Therefore separating a persons soul from their body in a clean and effective manner.
She also produces a natural ability to heal others by touch as a perk to being a medicine woman. by manipulating that same energy as well as her own reserve.. In turn, also she has the ability to harness that energy to disperse her molecular stability in any form to suit her needs- even to effectively phase through objects but she cannot interefere with the anatomy of another person or thing, only her own.

Flight/teleportation-
She proves to possess the ability to teleport herself from one location to another, by visualizing her destination, in her mind within great detail. but is hindered greatly if she cannot specify her desired location or a requested location. when transporting another person she can tap into the image they have in mind by requesting them to focus on the location and by keeping her mins clear and blank. she also obtains a mild ability of flight that is still left untampered with being that she possesses a mild fear of hieghts to an extent.

Obsorption-
She obtains the ability to extract information from a person by a willful touch, by way of simple energy manipulation of that around her, of her own and of the unwilling or willing party. In anything that she grants a person, whether it be power or immortality, with that touch she also retains the ability to strip it from that said person if and when for what reason she may see fit.

Transformation stage1 /2 / 3- [The wolf (Canis lupus ) Order: Carnivore, Family: Canidae]
In being a chiricahua beast and a born member of the wolf clan by blood it is often under contraversy as to if they are werewolves or the wolf itself. Being that the members of the wolf clan do transform in the light of the full moon but that they are not only restricted to being able to tranform during that time but can do so at free will. However their transformations are partially based on their moods and few circumstances. During such times and circumstantial situations they go through 3 different tranformations.

Stage 1-
This first stage is more emotional and spiritual if any, but affects them less physically. Their eyes change from their normal colors to black as pitch, their Canines becom more pronounced, nails longer and can even allow their tail to become noticable. This works in thier favor with their hieghtened senses, swift agile and tricky nature. Making them very flexible to suit them in any situation. They harness and suffer the aggression and savage nature of the beast but they do not lack their good judgement or loyalty to those they pledge. However in times of rest they also show to be playful and possibly affectionate.
In these feral states on mind they can only speak their tribal tongue and spanish- in being able to close their eyes they cut off the link between the two which allows them to once again speak english with out actually having to relinquish stage 1 of their transformation.

Stage 2-
At this level they change in the light of the full moon and at will in the basic form of the wolf- A Black wolf- which in these modern times Is thought to be near extinct.

The appearance, characteristics and facts of the black wolf:
The black wolf is the largest of any species of wolf known to day. The ears somewhat larger and more erect and a greater distance apart as well as the eyes which are smaller- compared to that of the grey wolf or timber wolf. with age and transformation they become more ferocious with out the need for courage. They have extremely powerful jaws, containing 42 teeth, capable of generating 1,500 psi pressure, broad and heavy muzzles, they are naturally built for running, catching and killing large animals.
Thier pack covers distances from 30-125 miles in a day by achieving estimated speeds of between 28 and 40 miles per hour for up to 20 minutes. they communicate between distances with each other by a vast communication repertoire including scent marks, vocalizations, visual displays, facial and body postures and rituals; rather than by aggression and submission; They use this vocal communication by howling to greet one another, to indicate their location, to define their territorial boundaries, and to call the pack together.
In being naturally territorial they defend their territory through vocalizations and scent marking. Thus they will attack other wolves not of their pack and any other intruders to protect their territory. They use facial display in ritual aggression, dominance, submission or fear and their hair to communicate anger, dominance and aggression. The adult males average ninety-five to near two hundred and females about fifteen to 30 pounds less. They are very docile animals with a strong aversion to fighting, thier submissive behaviors also play a big role in maintaining peace within the pack and hunt in territories of up to 600 square miles.

They have ranks and order in their packs:
'Alpha'- highest ranking individual
'Beta'- second ranking individual
'Omega'- lowest ranking individual
** each position is filled- one set for the males and one set for the females.

Stage 3-
This becomes a more aggressive and painful transformation where it literally changes and shifts their muscle and bone structure and height to suit their change and physical appearence as well as the growth of hair everywhere, changing their physical characteristics greatly beyond their normal appearences. Thus bringing all 3 transformations into one and leaving them with a most serious and aggressive nature- sometimes lacking their logical and natural human judgement

-The Mark of the Beast-
The mark signifies the dominance of the 3 beasts.
Jacob
Jeremiah (Jimmy)
Hope

Its not a tattoo, its not a birth mark. Its a scarlet brand upon their bodies. Each has one located somewhere on their bodies:
Hope's is located on the underside of her right wrist
Jacob's is located in the right corner of his chest near his shoulder
Jeremiah's is located on his right shoulder.

In completeing the harsh training to become the 3 chiricahua beasts, they were branded as a result of their completion.
It serves as a way for the elders to alert and call upon them when needed. It constantly has a low burning sensation, which intensifies greatly and painfully when the barrier is breeched, the tribal elders summon them or when and if one of the beasts is in parrell.

-her body keeps a constant heat of around 102.4 constantly. Making her a living furnace, quite comfortably. She rarely feels the harshness of the changing weather.

INSIGHT:
~By the time she was 16 in completion to her training she passed through the spiritual realm- the spiritual gateway in her physical form and was lost to her family and her people for 4 years..she survived and we found her at an old cathedral in mexico city.. she had no memory of anyone, no memory of the past. Jacob and logan retrieved her before john wraith could get his hands on her.
The most peculiar thing about her was that after 4 years, she looked the same as when she disappeared. It seems as though she didnt age a day over 16, like she just stopped aging altogether, her mental capacity after regaining her memories was the same as when she was 16 4 years ago.. although she has changed much they are all hoping that she wont be forever sixteen.
But it, by all means, is no disability... Hope comes from a strong blood line of immortals so at a certain age they stop aging and then disguise themselves to fit into society by creating the illusion that they do age. John miing-gun is not sure if its a reaction to passing through the gateway or if her body is doing it naturally because its too early for her to stop aging completely..
However her mind is matureing quite rapidly seeing as her mind can now hold vast amounts of knowledge- obsorbing it like a sponge and storing it away for later use, and she now has more control over her powers except the fact that as a consequence her healing factor is faster than-say jeans or Kurts- but yet it is weaker than Dakens or Logans and isnt as instantaneous as Jacob's ~

~ Hope soon regains pieces of her memory after she, jacob and Jeremiah remove Aleister from power in the council of elders. after assimilating with the gate, Hera and the beast. due to her passing through the spiritual gate in her physical form some 4 years ago she has been utterly left within the form of her 16 year old self both physically and somewhat mentally. Though she has completed her shaman training with the gate and soon takes her rightful place as a most powerful shaman of her tribe as well as a steadfast omega level mutant and immortal.~

On another note, even though her body has seemed to stop aging, Hope enjoys keeping the appearance of a 16 year old. Even though she is aware to an extent of her situation and very aware of her immortality she can sometimes be a little brash and sometimes childish, though she keeps a very analytical mind as well as logical thinking.

Weaknesses-
Being as powerful as she is her weaknesses could possibly cripple her and her future positions. Although her healing factor works faster than a normal persons but in all actuality is weaker than her fathers and all her siblings, including jacobs. It is because although she is so powerful there have been many occasions when her body has had trouble sustaining her and her power. She can be easily manipulated by the darker forces due to past memories and events. every powerful mind has a weak spot and hers is her feelings for her father, which arent always as pleasent.
So in addition carbonadium is lethal to her, so instead of slowing her already weak healing factor to a slow crawl it can almost definatly kill her or in small doses make her extremely ill when ingested into her system... how ever it can prove slightly less serious when and if it were to forcefully penetrate her skin, it even burns and irritates the skin by the slightest skin contact.

However, after coming back from completing her shaman training she is capable of near over coming her carbonadium weakness..to some extent.

**She also experiences panic attack- especially when she has a vision.
** also note that Hope is a very skilled artist and guitarist! She is also a very skilled and seasoned singer so combined with her mothers siren voice hope has a habit-when she so chooses- to entice the male gender, with just her voice, into doing whatever she may want them to do at the time. One song, she affectionatly calls her little 'lullaby'.

ISSUES-
She sometimes has issues with her healing factor which is why John worries so much. At times her powers consume her, literally, breaking down her living tissue. Because her power is so strong it often takes on its own persona, creating an alter ego- which causes many problems for her in certain situations. Some times the darkness of Hera overcomes her.

-- In her present state (being16), being that her powers are so strong and unstable, combined with her sarcastic and inhereted volatile nature- Hope M. Howlett is very much a ticking time bomb if left unchecked... and no one knows when she might go off, what will happen or if those who surround her will survive if she doesnt recieve or accept the help which she may need at the time. Though she denies exceedingly deep down she craves approval from her father.
**She only wants to be the best there is at what she does. But what she fails to see is that being the best comes at a hefty price.**

Though she grows only to harbor distaste for James Howlett and the school she once attended- believing it to be a way white chiefs to meld the minds of her fellow young tribesmen into against the nature of thier given beasts. She inturn blames james howlett for the premature death of a mother she cant remember while Her older brother jacob does not share the same feelings as her about him.

qoutes:

Was custer scared??

Sometimes they have to kill us but they can never break our spirit...~Jimmy-looks-twice

Bub, hmm..no, that doesnt work for me.

Death comes in many shapes and sizes- and I am one of them.

Sometimes I wonder...

I'm only getting warmed up.

You know we're going to hell, right?

- You NEVER get what you deserve, you only get what you NEGOTIATE..

-" You are all but men to me...and I will show you how little I think of man- aside from my dearest."

are you dead or are you sleeping.. god i sure hope you are dead..

Put fear in them, O lord and show the nations they are but men and only men. For when against nature we are but only insects and powerless...

** yeah this is my character, my pride and joy- I made her, no one else. if you dont like her which I know many people dont then well too bad for you. I am not a god modder- so dont even go there. I am a writer and I write effectively- nothing should ever be half done. know your stuff and your boundries, even your limits set personally and remember..*whispers* it's all in your head. 8]
