what's in my head?

/// SPECIAL ABILITY


Rhona has the power of Lentation, which is the power to perceive time as if it were slower than it actually is. All of her senses are attuned this way. With this added perception, her body has time to react to and dodge fast moving objects like bullets and energy bolts. This ability stems from an increased number of temporal processing channels in her brain, over twice as many as the average human brain, which are activated by increased adrenaline output in her body. Time does not actually slow down for her, but she is able to process it very quickly.

In addition, she has the power of Superhuman Agility, meaning that she can react to stimuli , and perform acrobatic feats with great ease. With this power, Rhona can backflip, cartwheel, dodge attacks, and land easily after a fall far more easily than a normal person. This ability is the result of increased contractability of her muscles and efficient and advanced evolution of her sense of balance. Both operate over 100% more efficiently than those of normal people, allowing Rhona, who is not trained in gymnastics, to stick backflips from a standing position and run up stair railings, as well as other gymnastic feats.

/// ABILITY LIMITS


Lentation, while it allows Rhona to perceive time slower than normal, does not allow her any form of temporal control. She cannot slow time, nor can she make it speed up. Additionally, this ability is not controlled. Usually, she sees the passage of time normally, and reacts to it as such, but when she is excited or under duress, her body's increased adrenaline flow activates her extra temporal senses, activating this ability. While under the effects of lentation, Rhona's world is seen in slow motion, allowing her to use her superhuman agility to step out of the way of bullets and other fast moving objects.

Superhuman Agility only allows Rhona to transition her movements more quickly than normal. It does not give her any form of super speed or super strength, only enhanced dexterity and balance. With the reaction time given by lentation, she can dodge bullets (and other, slower moving objects), and can run on surfaces that others would have a difficult time running on (such as ice or thin balance beams). She can also, despite her size and lack of training perform complex bodily actions such as backflips or using her momentum to run up walls for short periods of time (similar to some parkouring movements). This ability allows her to perform at the high end of human agility as she is, but if she decided to train, and went through similar intense training to Olympic gymnasts, Rhona could surpass traditional human limits in the field of acrobatics.

/// PERSONALITY


Rhona is large and in charge. She is loud, full of life, and extremely extroverted to the point where she'll pull strangers into conversations just to get another point of view (one that corresponds with hers, of course...). As a classic type A personality, Rhona loves to be in positions of authority, ordering, organizing, filing, categorizing, and delegating with a zealous alacrity. Still, she does have a softer side. Her friends and subordinates are her children, since she never had any of her own, and while she is demanding of them, she is in their court, 100%. She's loyal, comforting, and takes interest in the little goings on in the lives of everyone around her, making sure that their lives are going well, and doing what she can to fix them if they aren't.

Her biggest motivation is her drive to succeed. Rhona wants to be the best at everything she does, and is good at motivating and disciplining herself so that she gets things done. She has a quick mind (and an even quicker tongue) that grasps on to concepts easily, and retains at least the gist of the knowledge well. She is, however, loathe to admit that she is wrong about anything, and is very proud of her accomplishments and position in life, acting like the queen bee of her little hive. Still, in a business setting, Rhona is incredibly professional, handling herself with a large dosage of decorum, organization, and emotional restraint. If she is going to be successful, she realizes that she can't let her pride get in the way.

While in professional situations, Rhona is gracious, even tempered, and on the ball. She makes sure that she knows her facts, researching if she has even the slightest doubt about her information, and presents them well. She is not afraid to think outside the box, but knows when it is not appropriate, making sure that the risks she takes are worth the payoff. After long experience in the public relations field, Rhona is experienced in spinning information in the best way possible, and looks at new knowledge closely, trying to find the best light to put on it. She tries to make herself look as good as possible, and, by association, make her associates look as good as possible as well, keeping away from possibly defaming situations.

Eyes~ Dark Brown

/// APPEARANCE


Rhona is a relatively tall, buxom woman, standing at 5'9” with milk chocolate skin and elbow length dark brown hair. Her dark brown eyes are large and expressive, and her lips, while not overly plump, are nicely curved. She's a little chunkier than what she should be, but isn't obese by any means, referring to it as being “well rounded” or “curvy.” She has high cheekbones, good skin, and keeps herself extremely well groomed, keeping her eyebrows plucked, her nails and hair done, and wearing a 'professional' amount of makeup.

Her clothing is similarly professional. Rhona is a very snappy dresser, owning her share of designer clothing, and staying very conscious of what is in or out this season. Normally, she wears snappy, business formal clothing, although erring a little more on the fun side than the overly strict. She likes her colors, although she knows that getting too crazy with them draws more attention to the clothing, not the person wearing them. Her shoes are usually heels of some sort, and she has practiced wearing stilettos of all sorts. She doesn't like showing a whole lot of skin, preferring brief glimpses of leg and cleavage to be shown over just letting it all hang out. Still, her clothes fit her well, accentuating her good curves and hiding the ones she doesn't want to show.

/// HISTORY


Rhona was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to a single mother. Her father, Martin Hennely, was an on and off fling of her mothers, dropping by and maybe getting her a present for her birthday. Her mother raised her and her two sisters well, however, going back to college when Rhona was an infant and managing to get a counsellings degree. After college, Rhona's mother got a job as a school councilor at the local, wealthy, and reputable Hillsburg academy, moving herself, her mother and her daughters into the school district so that they could get a good education.

Despite the fact that their mother was working full time to give them a good upbringing, her mother, grandmother and auntie Nina, who lived nearby with her husband, Boris, managed to get the three girls to school on time, get dinner on the table, pack their lunches, and take them to extracurricular events. The three, older, Jameson women set out to make sure that Rhona and her sisters succeeded in life and achieved their dreams. The house that Rhona's mother bought in the Hillsburg district was a nice affair with a large backyard, a nearby playground and library, and, more importantly, lots of children nearby.

The girls attended Hillsburg Academy, and were involved in sports, speech club, and student government. Rhona played softball all through high school, and was vice president of her student body, in addition attaining a 4.0 GPA. Her mother instilled a good sense of family and responsibility in her girls, and many nights were spent sitting around the table of their suburban home with all six of the two generations of Jameson women, all helping each other study for the next exam, or playing cards if schoolwork was light. The fact that they didn't have a father really wasn't much of a deal to Rhona, even though her friends occasionally brought it up. She had a Momma and Grandma living at home who gave her pretty much everything she could ever want (except the pony, which was a sticking point for about a year).

Rhona, after high school, attended the Fischer College of Business in Colombus, Ohio, graduating near the top of her class and minoring in public speaking. She continued her education at the University of Atlanta, finishing with a master's degree in public relations, quickly getting a job at the up and coming Aura Fiz corporation. Her college career was mostly uneventful, save for her academic achievements. Since her family had instilled a great work ethic in her, she stayed mainly focused on her studies, only partying once or twice. The guys were nice, but she really didn't want to be tied to anyone or give up her dreams of success to start a family.

After graduation and getting a job at Aura Fiz, she quickly moved up the ranks there, going from minor consultant to head of the PR department in eight years. In this time, she has developed quite a rapport with her associates, customers, superiors and employees, and is a recognizable face around the Aura Fiz offices. Her employees are treated well; she makes an effort to know their names, and keeps a calendar with everyone's birthdays on it, sending around cards and cake on birthdays. Still, she works her people hard, expecting a her department to work like a well oiled machine. After all, she works her ass off; everyone else should too.

As Public Relations Executive, she has had to deal with the media quite a bit, appearing on television more than once, and even appearing in the “faces of Aura Fiz” ad campaign, as well as having an an article written about her in Ebony Magazine. However, due to her taxing work life, she doesn't have much time for a social life. She still maintains relationships with her family, visiting her mother on her days off and staying close to her two sisters, both of whom have taken up careers as high school teachers. Even though none of the Jameson girls had children, the family still manages to make quite a to do about holidays and birthdays. Other than that, though, she doesn't get out much. She has a few friends, mostly from work, and occasionally they go to a lounge or high class event on the weekends, but she doesn't really go for moonlighting around town or barhopping. For one, that could ruin her career or image (or, heaven forbid, both), and for two, she has far too much else to do. Still she enjoys and finds great fulfillment in her place in the world.

/// SAMPLE RP

It had been a long day around the Aura Fiz offices, and it was only one in the afternoon. Rhona Jameson, the Public Relations Executive of the corporation was a bit worn out after trying to mollify the family of a worker who had recently suffered an accident on the packing floor, and was now going to deal with the press. It was looking like it was going to be another late lunch.

Her heels clacking on the hallway floor, she strode towards the conference room, her assistant, a young woman named Anne, scurrying to keep up. Rhona's stride was purposeful, briefcase swinging by her side, and grey business suit ironed to perfection as she rapidly fired memos to Anne.

”I'm gonna need to push the phone call to LeSalle back to three, and make sure that Larry knows about the memo I sent to him.”

She paused at the conference room doors, running her hands over her suit and hair to make sure she looked camera worthy.

”How do I look, honey?”

Without waiting for a reply, she strode into the conference room, making her way straight to the podium among a chatter of querying voices and flashbulbs. She collectedly pulled a memo out of her briefcase, then faced the crowd, giving them her crowd pleaser smile.

”Now, I know you all have questions, but allow me to speak first. I have a signed waiver here stating that yesterday's packaging floor accident was not due to negligence on the account of the Aura Fiz corporation. Mr. Detwilder's injuries were unfortunate, of course, but only involved accidental contact with hot plastic from the bottle press. Proper safety measures were in place, and Mr. Detwilder and his family have been reimbursed fully for medical expenses and work time missed. Now, any questions?”

She smiled again at the sea of reporters.

Did you read the rules: Nah, man, we're a lawless board!
