Name: Mindy Morgan
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Text Colour: #FFD1DC

Description: Physically Mindy is of medium height, usually slightly tanned with long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She usually dresses simply, in pastel toned dresses with heels or sandals, with most of her accessorizing being similarly colourful earrings, rings or bangles. She’s pretty young and generally good natured, though can be very temperamental when it comes to certain things. She’s usually reluctant to do anything too risky and will try her best to find, if not a peaceful solution to her problems, then at least a safe one.

Weapons/Abilities: Mindy has the power of Aesthetic. An Aesthetic is a tall, usually humanoid in shape, psychic entity borne of and bound to the style of a user. A user’s Aesthetic usually grants them an ability, or sometimes can fight enemies directly. The powers of an Aesthetic can only be called upon if the user is currently expressing their personal style (whatever that might be) with their appearance. The power of Aesthetic can manifest in anyone with a strong enough personal style. It can be awakened just from seeing someone else’s active Aesthetic (the amount of time it could take to manifest is variable and there’s no guarantee that it definitely would in all people).

Mindy’s Aesthetic (known as “Dolce”) is tall and roughly humanoid in shape, mostly covered in layers and layers of ornate frills and lace to the point where it becomes difficult to see anything that would be traditionally considered a body part. “Dolce” grants Mindy the ability of impossible grace; while her Aesthetic is active Mindy is incapable of failing at executing a physical action that she’s capable of doing. She can take any shot, dodge any attack, make any jump, as long as it is possible for her to succeed she will do so.

Backstory: There was little intrinsically abnormal about Mindy or her group of friends, they were just five girls who went to school together in the town of Hamlet. But somehow they always seemed to find themselves being drawn into all manner of bizarre situations.

How Mindy’s Aesthetic first awakened none of her friends are sure, all that they know is that one day Mindy was suddenly capable of manifesting a tall humanoid figure who was best described as a living waterfall of lace. Mindy couldn’t help but want to show off “Dolce” and her new ability, to her friends of course, but also a couple of selfies uploaded to social media and it wasn’t long before others were beginning to awaken the power of Aesthetic.

Over the next couple of months the girls found themselves in the middle of the consequences of Mindy’s actions, having to fight off other Aesthetic users who sought to use their newfound powers to hurt or harm others.

Things reached a head as the government decided to step in. Having heard enough reports and received enough evidence to evaluate the phenomenon of Aesthetics as being a potential threat, or a potential asset, they began work trying to weaponize the power for themselves. But even with an understanding of the mechanics of the power of Aesthetics (given willingly by an Aesthetic user looking to make a quick buck) and ample samples of security footage of Aesthetic users in combat, they were unable to awaken the power in more than a small handful of soldiers. It wasn’t long till the project for the weaponization of Aesthetics was abandoned, the stated reason being the inability to scale the project for mass usage, and the new mandate became to eliminate the threat, to eliminate any known Aesthetic users.

Mindy Morgan and her friends were caught by surprise, one of the first targets in this purge of Aesthetic users. Mindy only escaped from the Aesthetic user led ambush thanks to the powers of Dolce. Her friends were captured and the military doubled down on their attempts to capture her and anyone she might have come into contact with. It was then that Mindy realized her only option was to spread the power of Aesthetic as far as she could. She was sneaking onto the set of a live broadcast news report when suddenly she was snatched away.
