Description:
Demeanour: Psyspell is a free spirit who comes and goes as she pleases. She is exotic and mysterious, and is quite seductive when she wants to be.
Attitude: Psyspell is generally not very nice to people. She feels that, because of her powers (coming soon) she is better than most other people, so she doesn't need to be nice to them. Still, she can be nice when she wants to (although this is most often when she feels it will benefit her). Amy is far from other villains in terms of "evilness". What I mean by that is that she doesn't kill for fun, and she rarely kills at all. She only does it when she feels it is necessary. She is also very playful with enemies, like Spectrum, and she definitely loves what she does (which is steal things, especially jewels).
Costume: Psyspell wear's a skin-tight black body suit that is good for hiding in the shadows (camouflage, in other words). She wears purple gloves, which just cover her hands, and purple boots, which just cover he feet and her ankles. Her body suit stretches down to her hands, feet, and neck, so her whole body except her face is covered. She ties her long black hair back into a braid with a purple ribbon (not a big one; you wouldn't notice it unless you were up close). Her body suit is divided with a purple line that goes straight down her front and back, which is more for decoration than anything else.
Background:
Amy Violet was born to Alexander and Jessica Violet in the mountains surrounding Crystal City, New Jersey. Her parents knew Amy was special from birth. Even before she could talk, Amy would spontaneously levitate objects. Her parents tried to keep this a secret so that nobody would think their child was odd or dangerous. However, when they were taking Amy out for a stroll one day in Crystal City when Amy was 5, she started to levitate various objects and started flinging things around with her mind. Her parents and Amy fled the city and retreated to their house in the "Sapphire Mountains" that surrounded Crystal City. They hoped that they would not be bothered, but their hopes were not to be granted. One night, when all three of them were sleeping, a group of people came and kidnapped Amy out of her bed. Never finding their child and thinking her dead, Amy's parents left the mountains to an unknown place. Amy, however, was far from dead.
It turned out that Amy was what was called a "Poltergeist". The literal meaning of the word is a a person, usually a child, who does things with his or her mind without knowing it. These things are often destructive and are more active when the child is in a bad mood or is depressed/angry. Now a days, it was used to describe anybody of Amy's nature; people, mostly psychics, that did things with their mind and didn't necessarily mean to. The people who kidnapped Amy was a group called Mind Block who was designed to teach "poltergeists" how to control their powers. They also often used the people to do their evil purposes, which is why they kidnapped her.
The organisation was very corrupt, and rather than help the people, they often trained them to be thieves or assassins (or both). Amy was trained to be a thief, and learned Judo, Tae Kwon Do and other forms of martial arts, as well how to sneak around and use thief tools like glasscutters etc. They also told her how to use her mind powers to aid her in her thieving.
Amy became one of the group’s most successful thieves. She got so big that she escaped from the group to go on her own. Although "Mind Block" often tried to find her to kidnap her and get her back, they were never able to. Amy adopted the name Psyspell and became a professional thief, operating mostly in Crystal City.
On one of her nights out, while trying to steal the "Serenity Garnet Earrings" from the Crystal City Museum, she first encountered Spectrum. Using her power to read minds, Psyspell learned that she was Lori Grant, one of the most powerful women in Crystal City, and the whole country. Rather than revealing this, Psyspell used it as ammo. Now, Spectrum has to be careful because Psyspell could just reveal her secret identity at any time, giving Psyspell the upper hand.
Thus far, Psyspell has had a very successful thieving career, mostly because Spectrum can't do much to stop her, and continues to successfully avoid being re-kidnapped by "Mind Block".
Powers and Abilities:
1) Mind reading: Psyspell can read the minds of others.
Stunt: "Open" her mind to the thoughts of others.
Limit: She can't just focus on one person. When she opens her mind, she reads the mind of everybody within a 10-meter radius. Therefore she shouldn't do it in a crowded area or she could get brain damage from to many thoughts entering her head.
2) Telekinesis: Psyspell can move objects with her mind.
Stunt: Move objects with her mind, or other people.
Limit: This ability does not extend to lifting herself up. The maximum weight she can lift without brain damage is 300lbs, and even that takes some effort.
3) Vertigo: Psyspell can send out vertigo waves to dizzy and confuse enemies.
Stunt: See definition.
Limit: The waves cannot bounce through solid objects (including people). Psyspell is not rebounding by rebounding waves.
4) Levitation: Limited levitation.
Stunt: Although she cannot levitate or fly, Psyspell can sort of increase gliding. For example, if she was falling from a building, Psyspell could use this power to make herself go a little move horizontally than vertically and therefore weaken her fall.
Limit: Cannot use this unless falling.
5) Mind Shock: Emits Psychic energy into another’s mind.
Stunt: Using this energy, she can knock a person unconscious by "overloading" their brain with too much energy.
Limit: She must be touching the person's head to do this.
