Species/creature/race: First Generation Seed. Failed.
Alignment: Locusts
Gender: Female
Appearance: If someone were to see her on the street they would probably think she was a cancer patient/hobo/drunk. Her head is shaved, her clothes are shabby, and well, she's almost always drunk.
Age: 24
Ears: Mostly human with a slight point at the tip.
Skin: Her skin is very pale since she spends most of her time in the bar or in her dank appartment.
Hair: Her hair is buzz cut so she has nothing to pull on when she has to use her power. Its coloring is a dark brown with some red in it, but the red is only seen under direct light.
Eyes: Her eyes are lime green with the seeds tri-pupil
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 98 lbs.
Body built: She's skinny, wasted. She doesn't eat much, usually just peanuts, salt, and limes so she doesn't really have alot of bulk. She does manage to train enough to maintain the ability to use her weapons.
Tattoos/Peircings/Marks and or Scars: She has a tattoo of a florishing lime tree that covers her back.
She has her ears pierced: each lobe has small twin silver hoops.
She has numerous scars on the backs of her hands and arms from scratching herself durring one of her induced sober-fits.
She has a vertical scar through her right eyebrow from a knife fight in a bar.
Clothes: She's usually just in jeans, a t-shirt, and a hooded jacket with the hood pulled up to offer better access to her back-holster for her shotgun. She wears hiking boots, laced tight because she's always worried about spraining an ankle when she falls over. She carries a beat-up leather messanger bag in which she carries a large flask of tequilla, another large flask filled with her seed-sickness medication, a plastic shot glass, a baggie full of lime slices, and a sealed salt shaker. She only ever opens this bag when she's going someplace besides the bar, so that after her power is induced, she can immediately start to recover her drunken state.
Preferred weapons: The sawed off shotgun that she stole from a dead man's appartment one night after she had been smuggled out by Dr. Gill. She wears it in a holster strapped to her back.
Characteristics: Depressed, a minimalist, exceptionally smart, a planner. She's the one, when sober enough and not vomiting from the reaction to her powers, that will help to formulate the best plans of action. She can see the way things should go simply becuase she can feel other people's temperments and can advise changes accordingly. It is easy for her to get sober since her body metabolizes the alcohol so quickly. For the same reason it takes her a while to get drunk again, and spends most of her time trying to keep herself that way so that her brain is numb enough to not feel.
Personality: She's a quiet angry drunk. When she's drunk she will tollerate people in her personal space, but if they interfere with her or annoy her she is known for hr random fits of violence. As she sobers up she tends to be more irratable and cynical. She tends to be childish and simplistic while drunk around peopl she knows. For example, if someone were to confuse her she would cock her head birdlike and offer them a drink as way of explaination. If she's sober around people she knows, she is often terse and condecending. She knows she's smarter than everyone else, but often prefers to be drunk. Being drunk and numb is easier than being sober and feeling.
Likes: Jose Cuervo Black Medalian, Limes, Salt. She likes soft music, peanuts, bologna, and being alone and quiet with her lover: Mr. Cuervo. She loves her gun, she often pets it over her shoulder.
Dislikes: She hates her power. She can't stand the institute because it is what made her this way. She also hates running out of limes, salt, or tequilla.
Abilities: She is an extreemly advanced Empath with no control over the power except to drown it out with the numbing effects of alcohol. Her ability allows her to not only read the emotional feelings of her target, but also their other sensory input, except sight. The closer she is to her target the more she can sence from them. However, if she touches thm, she is overwhelmed and cannot read any of the input.
Weaknesses: Seed sickness. When her powers kick in her mind goes into overload and she has to fight to process what she is experiancing. She has some minor seizures, vomits violently, and lashes out at anyone who tries to touch her. Physically she is not very strong because she doesn't eat much. Her liver is tender; she might need a new one soon. She's cold alot, but she doesn't notice it much. 
History: She was created in a test tube. She grew up as Krotena. Her power came to life suddenly and she spent her time ripping her hair out by the roots and fighting to get her hands on anything that would block out the sesations she felt that were not her own. She spent alot of time in solitary confinement. When Dr. Gil smuggled her out, she finally discovered alcohol and chose tequilla as her favorite. She buzzed her hair off to save time and pain. She got her name one night when she passed out in front of a dumpster. She woke up and found that her pillow was actually a pile of papers. As soon as she had taken a few shots from her flask, she peeled the paper that was stuck to her cheek off. It was a page torn from a botony book. On it was hand-written some one's notes. It said "Wild Lime, species: Adelia Ricinella." It had a nice ring to it, so she started introducing herself as Adelia. When people heard it, it stuck, and thus, she had renamed herself. After a while with her new name she got more drunk than usual and went to a tatoo parlour. She managed to stay drunk enough for the artist to touch her back and she had her cover her back with a florishing lime tree, her namesake. It is done primarily in black ink, but the limes are a vibrant green and very realistic looking. In referance to her old name, she hates it and will not respond to it. It reminds her too much of the place where all she did was feel everything that everyone else was feeling and had no control over herself.
other: Adelia doesn't care what she is called, but responds best to Addy. She is right handed, but swings with her left.

Sample Writing Test:
Adelia pushed open the door to the bar and managed to walk as far as a stool before her knees gave out from under her. She reached into her hoody pocket and pulled out enough to buy her a double shot of gin. The bartender knew her and had the drink ready before she finished slapping the cash down on the counter. Her hand emerged clawlike from her pants pocket and wrapped itself around the glass. She tipped her head back and downed the liquor. A soft sigh escaped her lips as the burning liquid soothed her raw throat. She had been screaming for over an hour, trying to get someone to give her bag back. The Locusts had confiscated it in order to force her to sober up enough to empathize with one of their targets. The fool in charge had actually touched her trying to get her to calm down; idiot only made it worse. She watched the bartender pour her another glass. She closed her eyes and took a swallow from her refilled drink. The alcohol washed her system clean, and as her mind began to numb, she began to stop shaking enough to unclench her overtensed muscles. She slouched against the bar and simply let her brain become blank; she offered the bartender a stupid grin before drinking the last of her gin.
