~Personal~[/center]
Name: Aeries Laurent
Age: 19
Birthday: April 17th
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Where are you from: Oregon
Current living location: Vermont
Blood Type: B+
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Unimaginably intelligent, Aeries is an extremely confident individual. She never does something without being completely sure of what she is doing—and rarely does she never find a problem too complex to conquer. She tends to ignore things around that are going badly—a result of years of her parents dealing with shady characters and illegal activities. While still sunny, Aeries is a bit introverted and can come off as bitchy with her overconfidence. Sometimes, she assumes that everyone else understands things the way she sees them, and grows frustrated when she has to explain things. She lacks social skills to create lasting relationships with other people in her life. She was left alone most of her life to care for her brothers, who are little monsters. She graduated college after two years with a degree in electrical engineering—the classes were simply a piece of cake. However, she has taken to the road to observe things as opposed to making money with a decent living. She is a republican athiest who is not exactly opposed to doing illegal things if it means getting her way.
~Physical~
Build: Average build. Not very muscular, but not very flabby.
Height: 5’5’’
Weight: 125lbs
Physical Description: (Length=250 words) Aeries very pale with chestnut brown hair. Not exceedingly beautiful, the boys have always found her attractive. Her eyes are a light brown, and she rarely wears anything more than eyeliner. She obtains clothes that fit her, and does not have much of a sense of style. However, her outfits tend to border on unique—a result of clothes that don’t exactly match and brightly colored clothes from goodwill. She is of average hight—5’5’’. Her weight is not super skinny, but in that even medium that keeps her from feeling fat. She considers herself to be painfully average, but after growing up with three bothers and an absent mother, she has not learned the tools of the trade of being a girl. Her hair is often a little free and un-styled.
~Clothing~
Everyday wear: Aeries wears whatever she can get for the cheapest price. However, she particularly likes to sport a green t-shirt and a black skirt with bright red galoshes.
Dress wear: Aeries does not know the definition of “dress wear” and only has a distinction of Everyday to formal wear. She typically wears whatever she wore during the day.
Formal wear: Aeries does own one dress, which is a cute white knee-length dress with a pink flower pink. It is actually considered dressy casual, but she likes the way it fits. It doesn’t help her out when she goes to funerals, but she has never been the type of be upset at funerals to begin with.
~Likes/Dislikes~
[/u][/center]Strengths: Aeries is good at anything non-physical. However, she is particularly fond of playing the Cello and speaking French.

Likes:
(+) Apples
(+) Bunnies
(+) Eggrolls
Dislikes:
(-) Dancing
(-) Stupid people
(-) Pineapple
Fears: Aeries has an undeniable fear of fire. As a child, she would always leave the stove on her in kitchen and once she started a fire. That is the only time she has ever “failed” at something that didn’t involve physical activity. Now, she simply microwaves her meals and refuses to own any sort of candle.
~Powers~
(If user)
Powers: Aeries is a technopath. She learned this when she was thirteen years old after being electrocuted by a live telephone wire. To this day she does not know how she survived such a thing, but she has always been very adept at things of an electrical nature. She can control everything from coffeepots to supercomputers remotely. She is able to co-exist within a computer, which is to say that if she concentrates, she has a sort of “out of body” experience in which she is simply inside the computer with the artificial intelligence interface. This makes finding the source of problems within the computer much simpler. However, the drawback to her method to fix things quickly leaves her completely vulnerable to the outside world for she cannot protect herself.
State of Control: Aeries finds herself to be in general good control of her power. However, when angry things start to break. Typically she can pass them off as surges in the power system, but that one time she caused New York City to go into a blackout was a completely different story. That son of a bitch will never cheat on HER again. So sometimes it gets out of control, but it takes a lot to make Aeries angry.
Rules Of Your Power: (Length=100 words)There is only one rule for Aeries’ power: magnets are her kryptonite. Her power is rendered completely useless and she herself finds herself in a great state of weakness. She is not sure if she can be killed by a magnet, considering she is still alive. Also, her power only applies to things plugged into a wall that are powered by electricity alone. So her parent’s gas oven or her cute little car do not work under her power.
~General~
Family Members/Status: Mother: Susanne Anderson, Father: Larry Anderson.
Their children’s names have been changed in order to protect them from the shady business her family is involved in.
She has three brothers: Eric (14), Adien (12), and Phillip (10).
None of her family members have shown the kind of talent that Aeries possesses.
History: From the day she was born, Aeries has always had a bit if something to her that none of the other children had. Her parents, as proud as they were, were so distant in their life of crime that they never seemed to notice how Aeries was far advanced for her age. At a year and a half, she was speaking full sentences and at three she was reading. She was triple promoted through school—much to the amazement to her parents when they found their fifteen year old daughter starting her first year of college. And yes, it took them that long to notice.
Minus her hardships of coordination, and failing ballet, Aeries self-taught herself seven different musical instruments, and learned Spanish from watching Telenovelas on television when she was supposed to be at school. She learned Italian from the less than reputable characters that came to the house every other day to visit her parents. She learned sign language from observing a deaf girl in her History class in sixth grade, and she learned French in a classroom…however, they had to send her to the local community college to keep up with her ability to absorb language after her first semester of middle school French.
Aeries had three brothers, all who were very destructive. Had her parents been around, they would have probably been incredibly surprised to see their eight year old daughter take apart an entire television set and fix it after one of the boys dumped kool-aid into the back of it. Aeries never thought it was anything special, and her brothers were too busy destroying the house to notice either.
When she was thirteen, Aeries was simply rewiring the breaker box in her garage, there was an earthquake and a nearby tree hit a power line, fell onto the roof of the garage, and a live wire fell into the garage and Aeries was electrocuted.
She was supposed to be dead, but Aeries had little more than a scratch on her. Since then, she has had an unusual and uncanny ability to control electronic devices. She simply has to think about a pot of coffee, and BAM, the coffee pot turns on. She can remotely troubleshoot her numerous computers—even the ones still at home in Oregon. Aeries moved out of her shady parent’s house at the age of seventeen to distance herself from the all-too-clear mob connections her parents have formed. She moved to Vermont, and hasn’t spoken to the family since. Still, a good working computer in their home is doable.
While “surfing” the net, Aeries stumbled upon a unique term: technopath. Whether this technopathy was caused by the electric shock, or some innate ability from birth, Aeries is unsure of. All she knows that she can make money off of this venture.
Additional Information: She carries around a kitten she found strayed on the side of the road. It is black with brown splotches, and it is fuzzy. She calls him Harold.[/size]
