So, I recycled a huge part of my application into my introduction posts. Hope I didn't break any taboos >>;

[CHARACTER INFO]
CHARACTER NAME: Tabitha Smith
FANDOM: Nextwave

BACKGROUND: I'm not going to go into her whole history because Tabby's from Nextwave, which means that her whole background is a giant caricature of everything that happened in canon and it's all been retconned anyway, hasn't it? (Well probably not, but no one cares about the details except for picky folks and you're not picky are you? Tabby hopes not. She hates picky folks because they count the change and realize that she's kept most of it.)

Anyway, a short summary: Born as trailer trash. Ran away from home. Spent time on the streets doing questionable things. Got picked up by X-Factor, fought demons, stopped Rictor from offing himself. Joined the New Mutants, and then went to Asgard. Oh Asgard. Got captured by Genosha, kicked some bigot ass, escaped Genosha. Joined X-Force, spent lots of time helping Cable hold up his overly large gun. Joined up with Pete Wisdom did more questionable things in the dark of the night like a ninja. Learned to hack in order to steal your stuff over the internets as well and now no one is safe and it's all Pete Wisdom's fault. Effing Wisdom.

At this point, we get to the important history which, happily, is actually the shortest bit of this whole ramble. Tabby joined Nextwave, an anti-terrorist squad that ran around America kicking people upside the head and causing massive, random property damage and saving the world from weapons of mass destruction. Oh, and they also blew shit up. They blew a lot of shit up

POWER: Tabitha will blow you up and then steal all your stuff. =D

CLASS: She's probably a hero, although she has a hatred of policemen and she does steal things but she doesn't generally kill people and she stopped the world from being destroyed a couple of times, so... hero. And she'll keep her dog tags if only because free housing, woot!

SUPERHERO NAME: Does she have to have one? She really just prefers Tabby... but if she has to, she will use Boom-Boom.

ALTER EGO: Tabitha Smith. Are you sure she can't be unemployed? Trashy gossip newspaper reporter, perhaps. She's always got an ear to the ground, you know, and she's ace with a computer (she has teh l337 haxx0r skillz, after all).

FIRST PERSON: So, like, I got pulled into this giant wormholey thing and got booted out on my ass in front of Iron Man, which isn't really something new because Cable was always pulling us through teleporters and flashing doors and all that stuff, so whatever, just business as usual and stuff. Only the Stark's making that face of his that means that something's wrong (or that he got really really smashed yesterday and the light's too bright for him, but I didn't think it was that one because he's not curled up into a little ball and crying for his mother, right?) and I was all "Dude, are you okay over there?" and he went all speechity on me with all the "Be a hero!" and "Save the world!" and "Cheerleaders!" or maybe not, but whatever and I would've just walked out because heroing's out these days, but then he offered me the house and no smart girl ever turns down a rent-free pad, 'specially not one nice as this.

So, yeah, that's how I ended up here in the middle of this strange city in the middle of somewhere that doesn't have a name. Could be worse, I guess. I mean, at least there aren't any robots around leering at my tits or big dumb lizard things trying to rip me apart, or psychi- tele- psychopathic cyborg dudes going 'COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE' because, dude, Cable's Terminator impression is the shittiest ever because he cheats with all those metal skin type things and the glowy eye.

Although maybe the Stark'll wiggle his way into second place because, that robotic voice thing he does when his helmet's on is just creeeeeeepy for serious.

THIRD PERSON: ((Tabitha tends to babble, so this one might actually be significantly shorter. Eheh))

The mugger is trying to run away, but Tabby is having none of it.

"ZOMG dude, you should totally be giving this girl a li'l more respect, y'know?"

She spreads her hands and sends a half-dozen glowing timebombs his way, muttering "Tick tick tick-"

The poor evildoer is sent flying by the blast. Yawning with one hand, Tabby nonchalantly reaches out and snags the poor evildoer's collar with the other.

"So, like, I think you've got some apologizing to do, mister."

She cracks her gum with a wide, toothy grin. Somehow it's the most terrifying thing that she could have done at the moment.
