Psylocke

[psylocke]

++Application for Enrollment++

The Person

Name: Elizabeth Glorianna Braddock

Age: 26

Place of Birth: Braddock Manor, England

Applying too: Massachusetts

In what capacity: Teacher-Martial Artist

Family: Sir James Braddock, Sr. (father), Lady Elizabeth Braddock (mother), Brian Braddock (aka Captain Britain, twin brother), James "Jamie" Braddock, Jr (brother)

Height: 5'11

Weight: 155lbs

Appearance:


Skills: Master Martial Artist: Psylocke has been classified as a master martial artist, though the specific fighting arts she has mastered have never been revealed. Presumably, as a ninja, she is skilled in various Ninjutsu techniques such as Taijutsu and Ninjaken. Even though she is known as a ninja and worked for The Hand as one, her fighting skills and techniques far surpass those of the average Hand ninja. Her skills have been said to rival those of a ninja master.

Master Telepathic Combatant: As a telepath, Psylocke takes advantage of her powers in a fight by reading her opponents' movements seconds before they made them, giving her the opportunity to counter-attack faster, and she can also use her telepathy to mask her presence from other people, humans and super-humans alike. She can also create telepathic illusions to distract her enemies while fighting them and as a ninja, she uses her psychic knife to incapacitate her opponents without killing them, though she has less inhibitions about doing so and will if necessary.

Personality: Betsy is quite a feel-good adventure junky. Elisabeth was always the quickest one to want to see the limits as they were set; from finding an affinity with race cars and breaking speed limits to desiring her life goals as sky-diving, submerging the barrier reef, and climbing Mt. Everest. Though Betsy has only been able to accomplish one of these feats so far, they quite spell the nature of her and the outdoors. Betsy is one who finds that there is no point to living without feeling alive, and certainly puts that to the test on average. Loving the feeling of an adrenaline and endorphin rush; Betsy will always be the first to test herself before anyone else can even attempt to do so

The Mutant

Codename: Psylocke

Mutant Abilities: Telepathy: High order telepath. She possesses vast mental powers to affect and manipulate the minds of other sentient beings. Psylocke can read minds and communicate mentally with others over long distances. When she telepathically communicated with another person over a distance, that person often perceived her presence as a butterfly-like image bearing large eyes on its wings.

Telepathic Tracking: Enhanced psionic senses enabled her to detect and track other sentient beings by their unique psionic emanations (thought patterns contained in the psionic portion of the spectrum) especially if they posed a threat to her well-being in her immediate vicinity.

Psychic Shadow: She is able to mask her presence from others. Her abilities could go undetected and were very difficult to track, even by very powerful telepaths such as Shadow King. She can extend these defenses to others around her as well.

Psychic Knife: Described as "the focused totality of her psychic powers," by intensely channeling and focusing her psionic powers to her hands to create “psychic blades”, razor-sharp edges of pure mental energy which were said to be the ultimate physical manifestation of her powers which she plunged into the minds of her targets directly, which she often used to disrupt the neurons of her foes by driving the glowing "blade" of mental energy into their skulls. It is able to kill.

Mind Control: Capable of controlling the minds of others.

Telepathic Illusions: She has the ability to create illusions to make herself seem to be invisible, look like someone else, or make others experience events that were not truly happening.

Mental Paralysis: Ability to induce temporary mental or physical paralysis

Amnesia: Can erase any awareness of particular memories or cause total amnesia.

Psionic Blasts: Can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but which could affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness or even death.

Astral Projection: Can project her astral form from her body onto astral planes or the physical planes. In the astral plane, she can mentally create psionic objects and manipulate the aspects of her environment.

Precognition: Psylocke occasionally has precognitive dreams.

Weaknesses: Elisabeth Braddock is a mortal human who can be slain by all intended or accidental conditions on her person. Her mutation does not give her any heightened endurance, resilience, or healing capabilities. Psylocke’s precognition is highly unruly and as of yet unable to be manipulated by Betsy herself.

History: James Braddock Sr. was a denizen of Otherworld, an other-dimensional realm. Merlyn sent James to Earth to father the champion who would be known as Captain Britain. Arriving in England, Dr. Braddock became one of the United Kingdom's leading research scientists. James soon married and set up home in Braddock Manor. There he created a highly advanced supercomputer he named Mastermind.

Dr. and Mrs. Braddock's had three children, Jamie (the eldest) and twins Brian and Elizabeth. When Betsy and Brian were in their early twenties their parents were killed in an explosion in Dr. Braddock's laboratory caused by the malfunctioning computer Mastermind.

Brian Braddock pursued post-graduate studies in Physics at Thames University, while Betsy worked as a charter pilot. Soon after Brian became the hero Captain Britain, Betsy alerted him that their brother Jamie had been injured while testing his racing car in the grounds of Braddock Manor, apparently an attack rather than an accident. She flew Brian back to the Manor, but their plane was downed as they neared it by the psychic powers of Dr. Synne; luckily both inside survived the crash. Synne subsequently mind controlled Betsy into seeing her brothers as hideous monsters, causing her to attack them, but they managed to overpower her. She was taken to the nearby Morder Research Center for treatment, unwittingly delivering her into the hands of one of Synne's agents, Dr. Ramsey. When Brian managed to defeat Synne, things only worsened; freed of Synne's mind control, Ramsey reverted to his true allegiances as an agent of the Nazi Red Skull, taking both Betsy and Jamie as hostages; both were subsequently freed by Captain Britain and his new ally, Captain America. It was after this that Betsy experienced her first reported psychic incident (there may have been earlier, unreported ones, but Synne's mind control appears to have unlocked her psychic potential, allowing it to start to grow); Betsy had a precognitive dream warning her of Brian's peril fighting the mad Lord Hawke.

Betsy quit the charter business and took up modeling; some time later, with her psychic powers growing, and after Brian had departed overseas to continue his studies, Betsy made mental contact with a S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi agent (S.T.R.I.K.E. being Special Tactical Response for International Key Emergencies, the U.K.'s equivalent of the U.N.s S.H.I.E.L.D. agency), and was soon recruited by Agent Matthew (later renamed Gabriel), with whom she pursued a brief romance. Betsy subsequently became the lover of fellow psi, Tom Lennox. Maintaining her modeling career as a cover, at one point she attempted to infiltrate the Hellfire Club for them (her father had been a member of the London Branch's Inner Circle, holding the position of Black Bishop), but was warned off by Tessa. Betsy had lost track of her brother for many years while he was adventuring in America and other dimensions, but he returned in time to save her life when she and her fellow S.T.R.I.K.E. Psi's were targeted for assassination by Slaymaster, who had been hired by the crimelord Vixen to cover her takeover of the agency. Betsy, Tom and the sole other survivor of the Psi Division, Alison Double, sought refuge with Brian in Braddock Manor, but had to flee there after a battle between Brian, his allies the Special Executive, and the hero killing extra-dimensional cybiote the Fury. With the insane mutant reality-warper Mad Jim Jaspers taking over the country, the group sought to hide out in London, but Tom was killed and Betsy and Alison captured by government forces, and the two women ended up in a concentration camp until Jaspers' reign was brought to an end (partially through the efforts of her brother). Betsy, who had been in mental contact with Tom when he died, convalesced under the care of Victoria Bentley (an old friend of Dr. Strange and the Black Knight), whom she had met in the camp, and Victoria not only helped her heal, but taught her to harness the trauma she had felt, using it to develop and strengthen her psi powers.

Betsy eventually returned home to Braddock Manor; soon after her brother fought a counterpart of his from another reality, the villainous Pertain Briton. Briton won the encounter, and briefly took Brian's place while extradimensional mercenaries the Technet took the wrong man back to Briton's fascist reality. Briton tried to rape Betsy, but she fried his mind, killing him. Subsequently R.C.X., the agency which had replaced S.T.R.I.K.E., came to Braddock Manor seeking Captain Britain's aid; one of the agents who made the approach was Betsy's old flame, Matthew (now using the codename Gabriel). When Brian refused to work with them, they tricked him into leaving the country, then Gabriel persuaded Betsy to become the new Kaptain Britain. Using Captain Briton's costume, Betsy magnified her strength to superhuman levels when she wore it and could fly. The hero Captain UK trained Betsy in crime fighting skills and became partners for several months. Soon after opting to go solo as the new Captain, Brian's enemy the Vixen lured her into an ambush, where Slaymaster brutally beat Betsy and blinded her. Her brother came to her rescue, and once again took up the Captain Britain mantle. Betsy was offered new cybernetic eyes by RCX, but refused, preferring to rely on her telepathy; she accepted Gabriel's proposal of marriage, and the engaged couple traveled to Switzerland where they hoped Betsy could recuperate in peace. Betsy was kidnapped from the Alps by Mojo and surgically given artificial eyes, restoring her sight.

In one of Psylocke's more bizarre encounters, crime lord Mats'uo Tsurayaba captured her and switched bodies with his lover Kwannon. Betsy was brainwashed into become the Lady Mandarin, but regained her free will. Weeks later she was approached by a woman named Emma Frost she explained who she was and why she was there then offered her a job to teach at her school. She accepted and soon left for America.

RP Sample: Elizabeth Braddock sat at the front of the large ship. She and Warren had decided to get away from the stress of everyday life and sail across the green waters of the ocean to the tropics. The breeze ran it's fingers through her lengthy violet hair, whipping it in every direction. The silver moon hung above the water, sending shards of light onto the glassy surface of the ocean. The skirt of her scarlet evening gown flowed behind her, revealing her bare feet underneath.
