## Physical description

### Eye color

hazel

Kristen Lane is one of the Orphan Company rescued from the Ragon experimental lab, Prefeton. She is a metahuman. The year that the secret behind the Prefeton base was revealed to them, Kristen was beginning her junior year in high school. A track sprinter, Kristen was a quick athlete already. Her ability picked up on this trait. She has the ability to have super speed by an internal jet propulsion system that her power develops within her. This manifests itself in six noticeable exhaust pipes on the back of each calf that give off carbon dioxide when she uses it, as well as a set of 4 exhaust pipes on the backs of each of her arms. In addition, Kristen's arms can also detach separately from her body to be used as rocket weapons. She now also has the ability to fly for short bursts, up to a mile at a time.

## Powers and Abilities

### Phase One Power

Jets activated - Level 1 - Kristen has an increased speed, up to 17 mph which is definitely faster than her official personal best on the track team. But her new speed comes with an unfortunate side effect that would disqualify her from most track meets. Her power manifests itself with six noticeable exhaust pipes on the back of each calf, that do give off carbon dioxide when she uses it. The exhaust pipes are linked to an internal jet propulsion system that her power develops within her.

### Phase Two Powers

Jets booster - Level 2 - Kristen's speed has increased, which means now she can run at 42 mph. The exhaust pipes on the backs of her calves have also been matched by a set of 4 exhaust pipes on the backs of each of her arms

Jet power - Level 1 - Kristen's power has now developed into another unusual aspect. She now has detachable arms. These arms can fire off as rockets from her forearms. Her arms fire up to 10.5 yds. away at a speed of 10 meters per second (half the speed of a bottle rocket firework). After hitting their target, her forearms attempt to come back and propel themselves by homing signal until they reattach. Kristen would not be able to launch her hands at a distance and do technical work with her fingers, like attempting to fix something or apply first aid. But she will be able to hit targets and cause blunt force damage. She also needs protective gear so her hands don't get mangled.

### Phase Three Powers

Maximum Jets - Level 3 - Now Kristen can run at 170 mph. She requires extra protein to do so if she wants to run for longer than an hour.

Jet Launch - Level 2 - Now Kristen's rocket arms that detach, can shoot up to 30 yds. away, at a speed of 31.5 meters per second (1 1/2 x the speed of a bottle rocket firework).

Jet Flight - Level 1 - Kristen at this phase can fly, but only 30 mph and only in short bursts. She can't fly for more than 5 minutes at a time. She also can't fly for more than 5 city blocks at a time. She can't fly higher than half a mile tops. Kristen's flight is caused by her internal jet engine, now directed towards propelling her to the sky. However, she is capable of VTOL (vertical take off and lift), flying straight up without needing a runway in front of her.

## Personality

*"can put quote here."*

At one time, Kristen had been self-centered, apprehensive, and bitter about the induced memory of her parents' divorce.  After the events of Prefeton, Kristen has become brave, stoic, and almost willing to tempt fate.  It's not that she thinks she's invincible or anything like that.  Rather, Kristen began to wonder what the point of survival was, since it seemed likely there was no real way to survive.

## Quotes

* "*I realize you're afraid. That's ok. Everyone is afraid. I'm afraid. And honestly? I think that's where they want us. Cowering in fear. Going our own way. So they can take us down one by one. Well, I won't be afraid any longer. Life is too short for fear. Fear separates us all, and it was only by sticking together that we got this far*."

* "*You've seen how fast I can run*."

* "*This is not a fake. This is not fiction. This is not a set up. This is for real. That's outer space! A barrier set up in the middle of the water and outside of it is outer space! What the hell is going on?!*"

## Skills

Besides being a sprinter and an athlete in her own right without the use of her abilities, Kristen also has a fascination with history and a good mind for historical details.

## Backstory

### The Truth Revealed

Maurice Williamson called a meeting at the behest of Sam Newton and Tobias Scott, the latter who led the group of metahuman high schoolers out into the sea, only to be attacked by a kraken sentinel. Their escape was further impended by the revelation that the island was actually a facility inside a dome, outside of which was outer space. They would then instead proceed towards the military base, wherein it was discovered that Isaac, Alis, and Steve had been turned. In the ensuing fight, they would manage to escape from the facility, after which the memories of the past would slowly return.

## Relationships

Atalia Bayer - Kristen is friends with, but not as closely as she is to others. More of a friendly teammate than one she emotionally bonds with.

Ascot Rider - Kristen implicitly trusts Ascot. She will follow any of his ideas willingly.

Marcel - Kristen befriended the shy, awkward young man and since then, has considered a loyal friend and ally.

Connor Vale - Kristen is friends with Connor and has been secretly impressed with his abilities.

Tobias Scott - Kristen generally distrusts Tobias. Sometimes she calls him "Mr. Tefford" to annoy him, in reference to the high-school principal persona Scott had adopted while hiding on Prefeton.

Alterio Henderson - Kristen doesn't trust him. He has seemed too chaotic and destructive. If Kristen's life is going to end, it will be by doing something heroic and not foolhardy.

Rosalind "Rosie" Llewelyn - Kristen rolls her eyes at Rosie. She can't take the girl seriously.

Maurice Williamson - Kristen has a mental link caused by Maurice's telepathic ability. She can communicate with him telepathically.
