Name	Avatar ('Ava') Tori
Species	Piranha
Age	19
Height	122cm
Weight	38kg
Special abilities & skills	She can use the 'fins' on her upper arms as weapons, as they are as sharp and strong as any metal.
Unique ability	Avatar has the ability to completely mimic someone's personality down to the smallest trait — even if she only just met them. She doesn't know why they are like that, but she can mimic it.
Carried items	The only thing she sometimes carries around with her is her story. That includes a pencil and paper (obviously) for writing. She doesn't carry it often though, since she doesn't want it to get damaged.
Ability Ratings
Agility	Though pretty average on land - Avatar is very quick in the water. Not overly fast, but she can out-swim any land animal. Another thing worth mentioning is her jumping ability. She can jump very high (9 times her own height - that's the highest possible for her (for now) on land — and that REALLY trying) — and even higher when jumping from underwater to above water (11+ times her own height, depending on how deep the water is). Avatar is also somewhat acrobatic, though isn't the best, she can do the basics (somersaults, flips, stuff like that).
Strength	Pretty average for an athletic person. Nothing special here.
Toughness	Since Avatar has spent a good amount of time in Westside, she's toughened up quite a bit. It also helps when the fins she uses as weapons are almost impervious.
Energy	Avatar is youthful, and can recover rather quickly (especially when she's in water — not as well on land). Also, she's a fish, meaning she can breathe underwater.

General Info

Avatar is a very people-oriented person. She would rather be in large groups rather than alone. There's only one problem, though: Avatar tends to talk about gruesome things. She doesn't really mean to sound scary or evil, but she takes quite an interest in the darker parts of the psyche. Though she's not dark herself, she sometimes acts that way to get a better understanding of them — and she's a pretty good actor. Avatar is a writer, which is why she indulges herself in the 'dark' character. She figures that the best way to write a character is to be the character. She's a real method actor, except it's for writing. While she's trying to be 'dark', she tends to take on the traits of gangs she witnessed while in Westside. Heck, she probably wouldn't even mind taking on a 'job' or even helping out one of the gangs on a job. She really has a twisted way of approaching things. Though, even if she's 'in-character' if you ask her about her writing, she'll instantly come 'out of character' to talk to you about it. Her true personality is rather down-to-earth.

She tends to be straight and to-the point, but is very pleasant to talk to. When talking about her writing, she's enthusiastic, and always willing to accept critiques. The problem is, she's in-character so often, that not many people know she's a writer, and her 'in-character' personality is how she is normally. If someone does find out however, she will happily tell them all about her tactics and what she's really attempting when acting that way.

Avatar is also a daredevil of sorts, she loves dangerous situations (she has to, when she does what she does) and also loves to put herself in those situations. Wherever danger is, she'll go to it.

Ability Info

Avatar is an athletic kind of teen, though not in a normal sports-centered way like normal teens. She got her strength and stamina from years of fending for herself in Westside. She wasn't forced into the life he has, she is now in it, and is living with it — daily fights and all. Though, being an aquatic creature, she is more at home underwater — and is definitely more agile. That's not really special, though, as most underwater species have this under their belt.

One unusual talent she has is that she is able to mimic someone's personality almost perfectly even if she has only been with them for a short while. She uses this ability to pursue her 'acting', so she can get to know the personalities better, and ultimately use that personality in her book. She usually only copies dark personalities though, since more fun ones aren't interesting to her — not right now, anyway.

Also, as her 'weapons', she can use the 'fins' on her upper arms. They're abnormally sharp, so they work well for cutting things (like people). She's quite skilled at using them, even though they are in an awkward place. Sometimes, they can also be her downfall. If she gets blocked while attacking with them, her arms are out of commission too, making her momentarily vulnerable. Having your weapon attached to your body can be both a great advantage and a horrible curse.
