WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,

Corrine Alizabeth Burns

"Always look beyond the cracks, there is always something more."

BASICS

NAME: Corrine Alizabeth Burns

AGE: 24

BIRTHDATE: 2/28/1998

PRONOUNS: She/her

SEXUALITY: Bisexual

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

OCCUPATION: Detective, but secretly works with Blackstorm

NEIGHBORHOOD: The Heights

MEMBER GROUP: Blackstorm

POWERS: Iron Bone Manipulation

Corrine’s superpower is a physical one. The most notable about it is that she has biological iron spiky growths showing on portions of her body, generally around the framing of her face, her forearms and back of her hands, her shoulders to her upper back to down her spine, her sides, outer sides of her thighs, and front part of her forelegs from the knee down to the top of her feet. This iron-like bone extends to the rest of her bone structure, all of which resemble dull silver chrome in color and rough texture to it. But, these bones are not for aesthetic alone, but rather Corrine has what can be called iron bone manipulation.

Though Corrine cannot control the entirety of her bone structure, she can manipulate the overgrowth of bone showing on the surface of her skin. These spikes can be extended or retracted at will, going as far as a foot at max and an inch when fully retracted. These bony spikes can also be shaped into a kind of dermal armor plating, becoming a rough but flatter appearance, affording her the ability to create a partial exoskeleton she can alter based on her own thought to what it’s “shape” should be. Still, Corrine can control how dense and thick or flexible these growths are as well as change their shape. The most she has been able to achieve is rudimentary bladed or blunt weapons and small shields. She can also create makeshift claws and control which part of her body she can extend the spikes out of and fire these spikes as mid-range projectiles.

In addition, Corrine has a healing factor to compensate for the constant shifting or removal of the growths or if they are broken off. Her body’s natural healing is twice that of a normal human, allowing her to have accelerated growth with her bones as well as surface trauma to her skin as a whole.

OVERALL APPEARANCE: Corrine is your average looking woman as a whole. She stands at about 5’3” in height, dark brown eyes, dark brown hair with blond highlights, and fair skin that is slightly tanned from spending a fair bit of time outside. Build wise, Corrine has an athletic build with broad shoulders and sharp facial features, features only broken by the dull silver bony spikes dotted around parts of her body. Her attire is also quite casual, favoring faded or dark blue jeans and shorts, t-shirts that are plain, having some kind of print, or image, and loose fitting shorts. Occasionally, Corrine will throw in a cover or jacket that is flannel or denim. Formal attire though, Corrine does not wear often unless she has to, often of which consists of khaki or black slacks with a blouse or nice shirt of some kind and matching shoes.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: Corrine is what you would call an introvert trying to come out of her shell. Up until a few years ago, Corrine was always an extremely shy, quiet individual, your typical high school wallflower that was always content with her solitude and going unnoticed. The social outcast who didn’t talk much, kept her gaze cast down, and was (and still is for the most part) soft-spoken. An easy target to some who found herself the target of bullying for much of her younger life. Much less being a black sheep of her family of out-going extroverts.

But, slowly and gradually, this has changed. Though Corrine is still one who prefers keeping to herself and is a bit shy still, she has overcome her social awkwardness to a fair extent. She is a bit closed off around new people, but once she becomes relaxed she shows a more laid-back, easy going side not often seen in her childhood but has become more noticeable with time. She can be quite curious and prefers to be a listener over conversation, but does enjoy random talks here and there, whether she knows about the subject or not. She also has grown to not be afraid to look others in the eyes and speaks with a much more normal, if sometimes assertive, tone than she use to, but from time to time her voice can be too soft to hear. And Corrine is still one that prefers her solitude over large crowds.

Nevertheless, one should not completely underestimate the shyness that lingers. Corrine can be stubborn and determined when she sets her mind to something, and occasionally shows dry sarcasm at random intervals. She even personally remarks her humor is at its best when it’s unexpected, and may lean towards the darker sense. Regardless, Corrine is a caring, compassionate individual with a hard working attitude and slowly blossoming more into an out-going type.

BACKGROUND

HOMETOWN: Fairbanks, Alaska

FAMILY:
Daniella Burns-Lavoie, mother
William Lavoie, step-father
Caleb Lavoie, half-brother
Sandra Lavoie, half-sister

PETS: None

HISTORY:

Corrine’s life growing up was somewhere a cross between normal and turbulent.

On the one hand, Corrine grew up with a loving, dedicated family of albeit a bit lower on the financial totem pole. Being in the middle class, her family didn’t have much, but they still found ways to get by and did what they could for her and her two younger siblings. Anyone would think they were a normal, every day family just working to live their lives from day to day. Belonging to a multi-generational family home, Corrine spent many of her younger years in Fairbanks, Alaska and Valdez where her grandparents would spend their summers on their pugettrawler fishing boat. Though she only knew her maternal grandparents, the family was always close. Fishing, hunting, family outings with the snow machines, going into town, life probably couldn’t be more simple but fun.

The unfortunate thing however is that Corrine was born into a family that has had a long history of powered individuals, though their appearance has been sporadic and often physical in nature. To add onto this, Corrine was also a quiet, shy child growing up. Between dealing with her gradual showing of her powers to going to school, she had few friends and many bullies, more so for her quietness and being a wallflower to the eventual emergence of her spikes when she was in middle school. Though she had a small knit group, there was little they could do to stop the social backlash of being a “freak of nature” in the eyes of her peers. Though, being in small towns the emergence of her abilities didn’t exactly spark much trouble initially.

Frustrated, Corrine could do little more than try and focus on her studies and family, as many of her teachers did nothing as they seemed to not know how to tackle such a situation themselves. But things changed when Corrine discovered her siblings likewise became the source of ridicule by the time she was a Junior. Her brother, two years younger than herself, she discovered caught up in a fight over his own powers in the hall one morning and without hesitation came to his defense. For the first time, she extended her spikes causing the group who had jumped her brother to quickly back off. The quiet girl she had been soon fell away for the most part as Corrine began to finally stand up for herself and eventually graduated with honors.

After she did, her and most of her family moved to a city on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia where her siblings would continue their schooling while Corrine decided to travel across the country. Eager to see beyond what she had known, she left home for a year before applying to a handful of colleges at the age 20, eventually ending up in Los Eurosia, California while she studied Criminal Justice and Psychology up through a Master’s. Here is where she also served as a jail deputy then a beat cop, and has recently signed on as a detective when a position came open half a year ago.

But, as her career progresses, so too has Corrine’s interest in helping powered individuals, leading her to join the mysterious Blackstorm as an agent in the hopes of making a change.
