Emily Beckett

Emily Beckett is a young parahuman originally from Oakland. She is an ally of the Outcasts.

## Personality

Prior to her kidnapping by Crux, Emily was an average elementary school child. She enjoyed reading and drawing, having very little understanding of the world around her.

After her kidnapping, her personality was obscured by her forced drugging and is obsessed with ‘candy’, her understanding of the addiction. The withdrawals she suffers, coupled with her age, might explain why it hurts when she uses her power.

### Post-Oakland

Under the care of The Oni, Emily has matured into a fledgling vigilante. She is determined, confident, very interested in weapons and handles violence far better than many gangsters. She is not bothered by blood and gore, keenly aware of the violence that happens around her. Despite her relative maturity, she enjoys things a child of her age would. She likes Icons Online, a popular trading card game, coloring, Hello Kitty and action movies. She is much more cheerful than her adopted father, taking more after Harley in personality.

## Relationships

### Civilians

She doesn't have any significant civilian relationships. Yet.

### Parahumans

#### **Antonio Herrera; Chainsmoker**

Views him as 'the cool uncle' who brings her stuff.

#### Conner King; The Oni

Her caretaker and vague father figure. He is training her to become like him. Emily holds a fearful respect for the older man and thinks him to be unbeatable. She holds him in great regard.

#### Kevin Jeong; Hypothesis

Thinks he's too strict and too busy all the time. Doesn't trust him very much, likely because of Conner's influence.

#### William McCormick; Shale

In awe of the man, thinking he is the coolest person in the world. She always wants him to talk about his time as a superhero. Likes that he lets her handle the weapons.

#### Harley

The fun older brother. She hangs out with him the most, even in civilian environments.

## Appearance

### Civilian Identity

Emily is an adolescent girl with muddy blonde hair, pale skin and freckles on her face and arms. She looks harrowed, her face conveying emotions no child should have experienced. She wears darker clothing, mostly sweaters and jeans. She does not care for dresses.

### Parahuman Identity

Emily wears a purple and lilac body suit with a number of buckles and armored plates. She covers the ensemble with a dark cloak and hood. She has a utility belt.

#### As The Kid

While in Crux’s custody, Emily was heavily drugged and visibly malnourished. She wore a plain white dress, similar to a patient’s smock, along with white slippers. Underneath the dress she wore a long skin tight shirt and pants that minimized contact that could be made with her skin. Her hair was messy, dry and in dire need of a trim. She had visible track marks on both of her arms and shoulders. She could barely walk on her own, often requiring to be carried around or shepherd in a wheel chair.

## Abilities and Powers

Emily is a powerful clairvoyant, quite possibly the most powerful on the planet. Where precogs can see the future, she is able to accurately sense events in the present. She can view multiple things or wide areas at once, viewing alternate universes, whole cities, anyone or everyone. She is not able to immediately lock onto an individual, but finds it progressively easier with more exposure to them. It’s harder for her to find someone or something she hasn’t met or seen, at least indirectly.

She has very few blind spot which are generally other Thinkers, Strangers or some Tinker devices that interfere with her sight. Her power cannot extend past the Earth's atmosphere.

Her extrasensory sight is directly proportional to how limited her actual ability to perceive things are. The worse her headspace is and the less she is able to perceive her current environment, the stronger her powers are. The strength of her clairvoyance has diminished greatly since her rescue from Crux, no longer constantly going through the highs and lows of hard drugs. That being said, she is still capable of extending her sight in and around the entirety of Manhattan, its precision barely hindered. She is aware of her immediate environment, even through surfaces, at all times making it virtually impossible to surprise her.

While in physical contact with another individual, she can extend her abilities of perception though breaking contact is incredibly stressful on the mind and sensory organs. Long-term exposure to her abilities atrophies senses. Utilizing her power requires a degree of skill to handle the overload of detail, but can be utilized by baseline humans. It takes a few moments for a user's awareness to unfold.

She does not understand exactly what fuels her sight, though knows that when she "feels really bad, it's way stronger". She is only vaguely aware of the extent of her abilities. At the peak of her power, she is capable of viewing the entire planet simultaneously and even alternate realties. When she's at this level, because of the intense amount of information she processes, more than a dozen minutes of sight a day would cause her to slip into a coma, even more could kill her. When like this, when asked to view a certain area, she can’t help but use her power and lying about what she sees messes up her power for a while after.

While extending her senses, she is unable to perceive her immediate surroundings. Hypothesis describes her power as "not really seeing or hearing, but a sudden and complete awareness of everything and anything,".

She is being trained in martial arts by Conner King. She primarily uses knives and shorter blades, lacking the strength to use full length swords. She knows how to use handguns.
