POWERS: Kinetic ChargingOphelia has a simple, but lethal sort of gift. She is able to tap into the potential energy within an object, converting it to kinetic energy of which she “charges” that object which often has a blood red sparking aura about it. This enables her to cause objects to become explosive via touch, usually through her hands, and can hold that charge for long durations to increase the explosive result. This same result also allows her to control the charge enough to cause a potent friction, increasing the cutting power of certain objects, such as her signature throwing knives. The more energy she draws from an object, the bigger the charge. Although, some objects are harder to charge based on mass, so she will often focus on a smaller area or smaller objects.
At her strongest, Ophelia is capable of charging an object or area to the point of causing the molecules within said object to pull themselves apart. This effectively causes the item to disintegrate. But, it is rarely used due to the amount of concentration and effort required, causing a great deal of exhaustion and a headache.

OVERALL PERSONALITY:Ophelia’s true self is one that is without much emotion except a neutral one. In fact, one would best describe her as apathetic and cold, aside from a quick wit and calculating mind. There isn’t much to say in regards to her true self. She does however have a sharp tongue and can be brutally blunt and honest, almost showing an underlying constant bitterness and anger she generally keeps in check. One of the few signs that there is some sort of emotion deep inside, carefully repressed over the many years of her upbringing. Even more so, one may notice hints of self-loathing, primarily towards being a gifted individual and despising herself for being an abomination to nature.
On the surface though, Ophelia seems a completely different person aside from her sharp tongue and brutal honesty. She is rather exceptional at faking emotion. To the public, she is a strong willed, independent woman who cares for her community and people. Most would say she is warm and approachable, someone you can talk to when you have a problem. Ophelia can come off as modest, direct, and thoughtful as well as outspoken and eloquent. A ruse for a public image, a perception to be carefully kept when she does her work and earn the trust of those around her.
In reality, Ophelia is a mix of her emotionless self and repressed emotion. She does in fact care for her city and it’s future, and is quite resourceful and independent and tactical in her thought process. Yet, she knows how to rein herself in to focus on what is important and the tasks at hand.

HISTORY:
Ophelia is from Los Eurosia, born and raised. In fact, her family dates as far back as the city’s creation and thus the Scalizi family are well-known in town. A family that has always been involved with Los Eurosia’s community, helping to see it thrive and improve, a picturesque type of family. But, even seemingly perfect families come with it’s dark secrets.
The Scalizi family has likewise had its darker hidden secrets deep down. For many generations, they have served as Hunters to rid the world of the abominations of nature and seek to keep the world “pure” of normal humans. Though, they have seen the “taint” of Gifted in their family about nine generations ago, complicating their own situation. When the first Gifted child revealed themselves, a tradition started of testing them, seeing if their power could be cultivated towards their cause. If not, the child was swiftly eliminated to lessen the chance of tainting the Scalizi bloodline. Unfortunately, it did little as nine generations later, a handful still showed gifts and few actually survived to continue the Hunter legacy. We would be the case for Ophelia.
Her life for her first twelve years were quite normal. Her hours were spent with family and friends, going to school, learning the legacy and skills of her family’s Hunter lineage, and partaking in many aspects of the community. As her parents were deeply involved in the city politics and community businesses, she likewise learned the tricks of the trade herself from a young age. A point of which one would find Ophelia was a very different person then, happy, energetic, and out-going. A time she also met her future husband, Carey, in fourth grade. But, her life changed forever when during a family gathering Ophelia accidentally charged a horse shoe during a game and caused it to explode after throwing it at the age of twelve. This shocked much of the family who had been sent scattering, staring at the young girl for a long moment before the realization set in.
Her fate was then put into question the following day. Her parents wanted her eliminated completely out of disgust, while other members of the Hunters wanted to put her abilities to the test. Winning over the parents, Ophelia was given to their Hunter group much to her dismay and betrayal. In the years that followed, she would go through even more rigorous, grueling training to cultivate her skills and powers, a training that stripped away much of her personality. At the same time, she learned to put on a front when out in public, still having to put on a masquerade for the community of being one big happy family, as well as to keep her activities in secret. Eventually though, Ophelia would find a much different welcoming change in her life. Her childhood sweetheart Carey would propose when they turned twenty, and Ophelia felt the need to find her own way.
So, for a final test, Ophelia targeted her parents for her graduating assignment among the Hunters. What she did exactly is unknown, only that she made them disappear without a trace and a cold case left behind in the wake of the mysterious loss of a “perfect family”. After having to act saddened and at a loss, Ophelia and her fiancé started their own life together, settling in a smaller estate in Gray Pebble and going to college at S.C. University. Ophelia focused on getting her degrees in Business Management and Political Science up to her Master’s in both, of which she married and had twins by that time. Life seemed to be good at last for this young woman for a time; she had a loving family, quickly developed a legitimate career in politics (as well as doing the occasional mission for the Hunters), started her own real estate practice, and was deeply involved in the community.
This however all came crashing down a year after she had become the next Mayor of Los Eurosia. Carey had done some digging behind her back, being suspicious of her constant comings and goings over the years, as well as the occasional change in her demeanor. Using his own investigative skills as a Detective, Carey uncovered her double life and confronted the woman he thought he knew. An argument ensued between them, one that triggered the powers of the twins to activate and stopping anything else. Ophelia was horrified while her husband was in awe, showing pride that his children might be more like their mother than he realized. But, Ophelia’s long standing disgust of Gifted individuals overrode any pride. The argument forgotten for now, Ophelia hatched a plan to rid of all her worries a week later, triggering a timed detonation of her partner’s engine. As with any usual day, she put on a fake smile and bid her loved ones farewell as her husband took them off to school that day…only for a massive explosion to trigger halfway out of the gated community.
At 32, Ophelia experience yet another heart-wrenching tragedy. Genuinely saddened to have resorted to such methods, she once again had to deal with a whirlwind of attention and investigation. Yet, nothing could be linked to foul play on her part, and eventually a funeral was held. Four years have passed since then, and Ophelia has put all of her concern and attention into her jobs and duty as a Hunter, keeping a tighter hold of her secret as to not risk being detected once again.
