Gem Antonelli

## Background

### 1997 - 2013: Gemma Antonelli

Abandoned at a young age by her parents, Gemma grew up alone & on the streets. She made many older friends on the streets & because she had nowhere else to stay, she would regularly crash in their college dorms or apartments as they got older. As a joke, she signed up for some internship though Gem know she couldn't qualify as she wasn't a student nor was she even eighteen yet. After she botched the interview, Gem was not expecting to hear anything but was shocked to say the least when they called back & asked when she could start.

### 2013 - 2014: Copycat

Gem agreed to do the internship, figuring this could be her start to something meaningful in life. They housed at their complex, along with their "offices" & other employees. In time, Gem realized that it was not an internship & after asking one to many questions to her boss Ivana Baiul, the lady revealed the truth: Gem possessed a gene that gave her powers & Ivana was interested in it. Even though it wasn't what she signed up for, Gem was interested herself.

For the following weeks, Gem trained in her powers & combat. The training got more brutal as time went on, going from simple defense techniques to killing blows. As her powers began to manifest, it became clear that Gem was a neuro-dominator, a person able to temporarily control the bodies of others. She was recruited by Ivana to join DV8 though her weak stomach after seeing a dead body almost got her eliminated (literally & figuratively). But against Ivana's decision, Threshold decided to make her apart of his team anyway. Shortly after the formation of the team, they were forced to change locations due to the shutdown of the other Project: Genesis in Death Valley.

On the team, Gem becomes the residential jokester but that changed after a certain incident involving Bliss. Gem does not recall the event & Bliss refused to speak on it. All that is known is that following the incident, Gem possessed four split personalities in addition to her normal persona. Her four personalities were **Soldier** (rough & tough personality that does whatever it takes to get what she wants), **Nihilist** (completely paranoid personality that hates everything, including herself), **Spy** (cold & calculating personality that analyzes every situation) & **Gemma** (five year old kid prone to fits & whining). Her personalities made her teammates very uneasy around her & led them to believe she was insane as well as unstable.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Gen Factor**
	+ ***Neuro-Domination***: Gen has the ability to temporarily take control of others bodies by making contact or being within proximity to them.

At first, she was only able to control one person at a time but she overcome this limitation to an extent.
