Personality: Siobhan is brightly cheerful, curious, down to Earth and loves to be with friends or in the thick of things. Siobhan simply loves life and doesn’t want to miss a single second of it. She also has a deep-seated need to help people. Her parents being Doctors, likely ingrained it in her from an early age. Siobhan is a bit of a flower child, but is completely in tune with the world around her.

History: Siobhan Mullen grew up happily in St Louis Missouri. Both of her parents were Doctors; her mother a pediatrician and her father an oncologist. Due to her mother’s diabetes, she barely carried Siobhan to term and she nearly died during the birth. As a result of that scare, her parents never tried to have any other children. Siobhan was bright and curious and carefree. Her parents were always busy, but always managed to carve time out of their schedules for school plays or soccer games or reading bed time stories. Anyone looking in from the outside would see an impossibly idyllic life.

The thing that they kept hidden, even from other family was Siobhan’s mutant ability. Their daughter could create force-fields, force walls and even force bubbles. She started when barely 4 years old, playing hide and seek with the Nanny. Then, she learned to bat her toys into the air with a barely visible disc of force and played ‘catch’ with them, trying to see how close to the ground she could let them fall before batting them back into the air once more. Her parents caught her playing like that one day and rushed her into the house. They had to explain how she could never let anyone know about what she could do. Not to anyone. Ever.

As she grew, Siobhan excelled in school, when she paid attention and loved to get involved with extra-curricular activities at every opportunity. She was popular and athletic and rather pretty. She never had any interest in being part of the ‘In’ crowd, rather being drawn to people with interesting differences whether they were popular or not.

After high school, Siobhan went to college and earned a degree in Sociology. She immediately started her own non-profit organization that helped poor women gain marketable skills, learn to dress and how to interview so they could get a better job and get off the street. No one is ever turned away and Siobhan spent every free moment working at the Center, fund raising or contacting employers to network. She also championed classes in self-defense and martial arts to help the women gain even more confidence in themselves as well as being safer.

The Center, however, was not enough. Siobhan thought she should be able to do more. Somehow she thought that her Meta ability should help people. She didn’t know how, and the local police generally did not welcome Mutants into their ranks. She had to find other mutants and see if she could find a group she could contribute to. Somehow, some way.

Power(s): Siobhan has the ability to create force fields and walls up to 10 feet in diameter. She can shape these walls creating slopes, ramps or concave shapes in order to deflect incoming attacks. Siobhan cannot stop bullets, however, she can deflect bullets or high-velocity attacks by redirecting the energy. She can make these force fields solid enough to walk along a series of them in order to climb to a higher building. She can also manipulate the force fields to use as a blunt force weapon.

Siobhan can also create a spherical force field around herself that completely covers her from all angles. If squeezed tightly together, she can cover two other people with her, but they cannot move from the protected spot. An extreme use of the force sphere is to form compressed explosions of air into shapes such as spheres and cubes, allowing them to be projected or thrown. With the bomb comes into contact with a target, the air is released with force, from sudden gusts to hurricane force winds.

Siobhan’s force fields are made up by manipulating ions in the form of electricity. Thus, the force fields can absorb electricity aimed at it. However, it would be susceptible to being dissipated by water-based attacks. Her force fields spark and shift colors as she uses them.

Teleporation is one of those powers that are kind of restricted. 1000 yards seems a bit.. much. That's a bit over half a mile. 880 yards is half a mile; so I'd be fine with her teleporting, perhaps, 600 yards as herself, and then only 300 yards for someone else.

I'd also appreciate her not being able to teleport a ridiculous amount of times per post. So, mayhaps 1 use of her teleporatation power every other post during battle.

OK, I've altered Siobhan's power and she's ready for review again.

Approved and moved.
