Given Name: Karla Russo
Codename: Boom
Age: 17
Detailed Description of Powers: Karla can make 'boom' sounds, ranging from the sound of a twig snapping to the noise of a tanker truck exploding. She can control the point the sound emanates from, and at that point there is a flash of light. The intensity of the flash depends on the amount of noise. These are not harmful (though the light can temporarily blind) and are mostly just for distraction, hence, not very useful.
Originally from: Colorado Springs, Colorado
Known Family: Cheryl Russo (deceased) Benjamin Russo (location unknown)
Physical Description: For the most part, Karla looks like any 17 year old. She is 5'11 and weighs around 140 pounds. her weight is mostly muscle, but she (like most people) does have hips, als. Karla's torso is also a bit longer than most peoples Her hair is a copper color, and is quite messy. Since Karla thinks she has better things to do than mess with her hair, she simply keeps it back in a blue bandanna in her waking hours. Karla's eyes are a bright blue.
Boom wears loose jeans that are cutoff and fraying about 2 inches below her knees. On her feet, she wears worn boots, and white socks that stay hidden. Whenever in public, she wears a tan trench coat that is about 3 sizes to large. Though this is an inconvenience, it is necessary so she can hide her extra arms. Yes, extra arms. The shoulders of Karla's extra appendages extend from her sides, approximately 7 inches down from the bottoms of her normal arms. They are not stunted or withered, but fully functional.
Because of the 4 arms, all shits, tank tops, vests etc. that she owns have the extra holes in them to accommodate the arms. On all four of her shoulders she had black tribal looking tattoos that continue onto her back and form one large design.
Other: Boom changes attitudes like some people change clothing. She can go from bright and talkative to sullen and quiet in a mater on minutes. She is friendly with people at first but does not give forgiveness easily. Since Karla was never enrolled in school she has very little acedemic knowledge. She can read and write as well as the average 3rd grade child. Despite her lack of school edjucation she is quite intelligent. Even if she chooses not to show it sometimes.
Bio: Karla Was born the only child of Cheryl and Benjamin Russo. Born perfectly healthy, but with her extra arms. Her mother was ashamed of her daughters mutation and tried to hide her from the world, keeping her away from school and everyone out of her immediate family. Karla hated her mother, and was not sad when Cheryl was hit by a truck and killed when Karla was 9.
Her father had little grief also. He took care of Karla, letting her go out of the house occasionally, as long as she hid her arms. Still, this was not enough for Karla, who was, and is, a wanderer by nature. After a blazing fight with her father when she was 15 Karla took off from home, heading East.
In her first month, hitch-hiking along a deserted highway, she discovered her power (Making the noise and light flashes. Moving from town to town, she picked up and quickly lost many jobs, stealing when necessary to live. Somewhere she learned to hot-wire cars, and made the mistake of jumping a van in broad daylight, in a mall parking lot. Karla managed to avoid arrest and has been traveling by greyhound bus ever since.
