The easy S T U F F . . .Name: Misaki Airi Kobayashi
Nickname: Saki, Misa
Age: Nineteen-years-old
Member Group: Hammel Student
Power(s): Illusion – Misaki can create illusions that effect the senses. The more minds she is influencing, the harder, and more headache inducing, her power is. Other factors that tie into difficulty are 1) believability of the illusion, 2) skepticism of the particular target, and 3) whether or not the other person has mental shielding training.
She cannot affect more than three senses at a time, so whoever her targets might be, they will have two senses unaffected by herself. However, sometimes a target's mind will fill in the blanks even if she is not directly controlling them, especially if the unaffected senses are more minor, and the affected senses are extremely convincing.
Since her illusionary work is done mentally, she actually has to directly influence a person's mind to get her power to work. At this point, the most she can influence at one time is four people, but the number of senses she can reliably influence goes down with her number of targets. For example, if she is influencing one person, she can easily influence three senses. If two people, it's more difficult, if three people, she can only influence two senses, and if four people, only one sense reliably.
Headaches and mental fatigue are a couple consequences of her power, the severity of which depends on how complicated an illusion is. She also at times has trouble differentiating between illusion and non-illusion, and sometimes has to double, or even triple, check herself to ensure she isn't unintentionally influencing anyone, since when she casts an illusion she herself sees it as her target does.
Play By: Nozomi SasakiLet it F L O W . . .If it is one word that describes Misaki, that word is “quirky”. Others would be “passionate” and "girly".
From a young age, Misaki has loved to play dress up, in odd costumes just as much as frilly ones, have tea parties with her dolls, and decorate her room with flowers and pink. As she grew older, her interests widened to a world of various fandoms. Her bedroom décor morphed to carefully arranged fandom paraphernalia. Her girly color schemes still had their place, but lightsabers and the like mingled in as well. She maintained a happy medium between geek and girly as she attended various comic-cons, as well as participated in period reenactments, at which she wore intricate dresses that she sewed with the help of her mom.
As far as family goes, she is the daughter of two Japanese immigrants, who moved to the States before she was born. As a result, she has lived her entire life in the US, though she has gone with her parents on several visits to Japan to visit family. Like her parents, she is bi-lingual. When she was three, her baby brother, Kosuke, was born, and she helped her mother with him a lot. Her father is a university teacher, and her mother is a stay-at-home mom, who taught both Misaki and Kosuke.
Misaki was eleven and a half when her power manifested, and it was for the best that she was at home when it happened. She had been reading aloud, as part of her schoolwork, when her then eight-year-old brother, Kosuke, began staring at something their mother couldn't see. When Misaki looked up, she saw a horse from the story, standing perfectly silent, in the middle of the room. They both tried to convince their mother of the horse's being there, but she brushed it off as them playing pretend, which they did often enough.
So later they went out into the backyard, and Kosuke talked Misaki into telling him a story. As they were both curious to see if the illusion would happen again, she obliged with a quick story based off of Star Wars. This time they saw X-wings flying over their house. Though thrilled with the novelty of being able to see these things, it also scared Misaki a little, and she told her brother not to talk to their parents about it anymore, or else she would tell him a story about monsters. Her brother successfully silenced, Misaki made sure to be careful not to tell stories around her parents.
Of course, this secrecy lasted only about three days, until she was describing a particular dinosaur she couldn't remember the name of to her parents, and it “appeared” in the middle of the kitchen. Understandably, they were both duly startled. They brought her to the doctor the next day for testing, and, of course, she tested positive for being a meta. The day after that, a recruiter showed up at their door.
Though her parents assured her that they still loved her, and she would always be their daughter, Misaki knew they looked at her differently now. Though they didn't despise her, they treated her more distantly and delicately now, as if she were a time bomb set to explode. However, her power only served to convince Kosuke, her little brother, that she was a superhero, like from the movies.
Misaki has been at Hammel for about seven years now, and has kept her grades in the mid to high range. She has lost none of her love for various fandoms, and obviously has picked up some new ones, and also continues to enjoy dressing up. When it comes to historical presentations in class, she's always the one to go all out. When it comes to talking about things she likes, she will drown you in information about her favorite shows, books, conspiracy theories, and history-buff talk. However, at the end of the day she will always be relieved to finally crawl into bed with a book and a cup of tea.
As far as her power goes, after the initial shock and pulling back, she plunged in headfirst to improve as much as possible. She often uses it for telling stories, illustrating a point, getting back at someone, or just to see if she can pull off an illusion without it being detected. In short, she does her best to incorporate it into her everyday life, as she believes that is the best way to improve it. Not to mention she just enjoys messing with people sometimes.Behind the M A S K . . .Name: Raven
