MindMUSH - Character Detail (Steel Wind)

Pronouns:: (She/Her)
Description: It's hard to put an exact height to the figure in front of you, given her apparent tendency to balance on the balls of her feet while half-crouching, but a solid estimate would probably be in the low-5ft/mid-150cm range. Beneath the tied ponytail and flowing bangs, that pair of dark red eyes - the only part of her face left uncovered - feels like they're stripping you bare as they watch you, discerning every weakness. She feels like a coiled spring, ready to leap into action in an instant. If you could see under the light, high-tech fabric of her clothing, you'd be treated to the sight of rippling muscle along most every part of her body. But the most concerning thing about her happens when she moves: from any one moment to the next, she's just *there*, closing distances in the blink of an eye, striking in a flash of Steel- and then gone again, like the Wind.

Extended Description/Backstory: "I SAID DON'T COME CLOSER!" A few of his former coworkers had already fled, though only one went running towards the elevators that lead to the upstairs offices. The rest seemed frozen, which made sense: a power that could instantly vaporize water wasn't much use in most cases, but with his hand pressed against the plant's main tank, it got a lot more dangerous. "AND BRING ME THE BOSS!"
He didn't want to hurt them, of course. But this was the only way anyone would LISTEN. It was fine. Everything was fine. Someone would bring the boss down, he'd make his demands, and-
*PAIN*
So many things happened at once, it took him several seconds to really process anything but the pain. Something had hit him... no, two things? Something sharp in his wrist, and something hard and circular, square in his spine. Now he was... face down on the ground? And vaguely registering a couple hundred pounds still pressing on his back.
"Stay still, or lose the hand. Your choice." A woman's voice? He was fairly sure even obscured as it was by an accent and probably something covering her mouth-
A mask.
*Fuck*.
"Better." Her comment about his hand caused him to glance right: a fucking knife was jammed through his wrist and *into the concrete*, pinning him there. She wasn't threatening to cut it off, she was *warning* him that struggling would drag against it.
"My backup includes a healer. Will you behave until they get here?" That flat, no-nonsense tone would've been intimidating enough if she *didn't* currently have him pinned and impaled.
"Y-yeah... s-s-sure..." He could barely breathe enough to speak. Thankfully, the pressure she was applying eased up after he replied.
"Good. Take a moment to calm down." It seemed like a ludicrous statement, but... it's not like he could do much else. The adrenaline in his system made him want to struggle, to run or fight, but his legs were barely working and she had both his arms trapped. Trying to calm down was about all he was capable of. "You were mad, I get it. But you fucked up."
"Yeah... g-getting that." All things considered, he *was* calming down... enough to realize who this was. Enough to be thankful and amazed he was even still *alive*. "Y-you're... the new gal... w-with the... H-Honed Blades...?"
"Steel Wind."
Yup.
*Fuck*.
"You're lucky it was me, honestly."
A gasped "PFAH!" of a laugh escaped him before he could really think about it. "Howd'ya figure!?"
"Because I stopped you before you could hurt somebody." Flat. Matter-of-fact. Cold, even. But not harsh. "Throw in my testimony that you cooperated and your work situation, you probably get off fairly easy. You had a moment of anger, but from the look of everyone else here, you aren't a bad guy."
He could hear sirens now. Not the police, though... one of those transports the teams without teleporters or other mobility powers used. "...you really think so?"
"If I didn't, I wouldn't have been so gentle."
...gentle? This was her being *gentle*!?
The transport pulled up to find him in a fit of wheezing laughter.
Some of these Heroes were *fucking terrifying*...

OOC: Well well, I wonder who recognizes this edgy lady from the old place~? And I wonder how many actually knew this was a Katie character before... I can name several people who did, at least~

This gal's here for two things: story/lore stuff, and people who like *danger*~ She's the type who will put a blade to your throat and use the adrenaline response as part of an induction method, or pin you down and enjoy what parts of you she doesn't have threatened with sharp objects <w< Plus she has some fun toys meant to leave targets properly subdued... what happens with them after that, depends on who they are~

As a note: no, her power is *not* mind control or hypnosis related! Instead, it effectively makes her very fast, and able to pull some bullshit with her array of weapons and gadgets. I'll leave the exact nature of it as something for people to discover~ I do have specific set rules for it, which can be learned... and taken advantage of~

Player Info: Welcome to Katie! \o/

For those who don't know me, I'm in my late 30s, AuDHD, an aspiring writer, and a big ol' geek. I'm also a builder, coder, and tailor for the MUSH! The main things I work on are the website and webclient, so I'm the person to go to if you have any issues with either of those (though ideally you should put them in the bug-report forum on the Discord server).

As a MUSH player, I tend to lean towards more involved character development and ongoing storylines. My characters pretty much always have something going on beneath the surface, and I *love* when people pick up on the hints I drop and dig into things~ This does mean my focus is less on kinky scenes, but I do plenty of those, too! I just tend to prefer scenes with people who have been getting involved with my characters beyond what those characters can do kink-wise.

On domming vs subbing: I'm generally more willing to dom new people than sub at this point, mainly because I have too much love and pride invested in my characters to subject them to things I would otherwise enjoy. I need to know that my *character* would be okay with it before I can let myself put them in that position, even with CNC things. This means I generally only sub on specific characters, in specific situations, and/or to people I already know fairly well, and even then I have to vibe with the dom's gimmick. It all comes down to feelings about individual situations in the end, sooo... ask? Worst I'll tell you is "no thanks" <3

When it comes to OOC hypnosis, I'm even more reserved: I'll tease plenty, and sometimes it's fun to act subby, but these days I don't really engage with it unless it's an established dynamic or a particularly close friend. This goes for domming *or* subbing. I'm here for the RP, so let's try to keep things in-character, 'kay~? ^_^
