Personality-

Maya is a deeply emotional person inside, but is smooth and confident on the outside. Emotions run deep in Maya, and even small slights resonate down to her very core. When hurt or disappointed, Maya will retreat completely into her shell and become unreachable for a period of time. She seems to be generous and kind to others, but there is always a hidden agenda behind such a thing. She will not do things for others, unless there is something to be gained for herself.

She will cautiously wait when confronted with problem, to make sure that she doesn't waste valuable resources. In the end, she will come through and take things into her own hands, if no other option presents itself. Though possessing a good sense of humour and loving a good joke, Maya will often become sulky, moody, and irritable for no reason apparent to anyone else. This is just a manifestation of those emotions that run so deeply. Maya weighs every move carefully, almost never doing things spontaneously, and as a result, she is usually successful in her endeavours. When she fails, she will brood about it for a little while, but will almost always just shrug it off and try again.

Maya is known for her possessiveness and jealousy but on the other hand, she is extremely loyal. Maya has an excellent memory and combined with an inability to let things go, she can hold a grudges against someone who has done her harm forever. In fact, she rarely, if ever forgives and forgets.

Maya is clever and versatile; she often uses mind games to control. She often finds that she can control by dazzling others with her charisma and generosity. She can be intimidating, and finds that weaker individuals feel obliged to let her have the last say in fear of her anger. She might therefore control through dominance, she is also the type to push someone into doing her dirty work for her. Maya can sometimes manipulate in a pleasant way to get people to go for what is good for her. She might guide people not to make the wrong choices or into changing their mind. If Maya uses the darker side of her nature to control, she can be secretive and devious

Maya has many sides to her personality, which alter to various situations. She has a mood for every occasion. Sometimes Maya can behave quite timidly and quiet, often taking the role of the pacifist. However, she also finds that in other questionable circumstances she can be quite the opposite. Maya has been known to display brutal, sadistic and fairly hateful behaviour characteristics that often aren’t even noticed until it’s too late. She can be unassuming and brash at times, which poses as more of a threat than anyone who is always so abrasive, because you can never quite figure out what is going on in that head of hers.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-

Illusion Projection

Maya has the ability to affect a person's perception of reality. Through this Maya is able to distort reality. One way that this is accomplished is through projecting an illusion over a specific object. Additionally, Maya can project her illusions over an entire area to make things look completely and entirely differently than what they are in actuality. In doing these two things, Maya is able to affect the subject's mind directly, forcing them to think things that are not actually there.

However, most prominently, Maya is able to use her illusions to affect her subject's senses. By affecting the foe's senses, the foe is completely and entirely absorbed into the illusion. All senses are affected in this manner. If the foe was illusioned to be on an incredible height, they could theoretically experience vertigo or another similar sensation, due to the fact that the illusion was so realistic and so incredibly intense.


Quixotic Force

This ability allows Maya to subconsciously generate illusions as a defense mechanism. Maya does not know she does this and will only realize it once the illusions are in progress. By subconsciously creating these illusions, Maya is able to create a defense mechanism. For example, if Maya is being attacked, she can subconsciously create an illusion of herself dying. Thus, the attacker will not know that she is actually alive, and will presume that she is in fact dead.

Limits-

Illusion Projection

First of all her illusions are simply that, they cannot physically harm another person. They are solely for the eyes and mind alone. Her illusions cannot be touched by other people; they’re not there and do not post as a physical danger to those around her.

Quixotic Force

There is a major limit with this ability and that is unreliability. The problem with this ability is that it is only done subconsciously. Maya cannot will this power like she can her illusions, she does not have control of them and cannot physically activate them when she wishes. This ability is like a self defence mechanism, in the way that if Maya feels threatened in anyway, she would subconsciously create an illusion in the effect to cause the enemy to leave.

Appearance-

Maya stands at five feet and nine inches. Naturally her hair is black in colour and curly in style, which she often straightens. When her hair is worn down, it sits against the lower of her back. Maya has a rather round head shape; and a defined rounded jaw that narrows slightly at the chin. She has a narrow bridged nose with a button tip and high rounded cheekbones. Maya’s lips are plump and almost symmetrical. She has dark hazel eyes that compliment well against her complexion.

History-

Maya was born in Las Vegas, Nevada to Angela Diaz and Remy Rodriguez. Her home life and upbringing was far better than others she had known. Being an only child, she was the apple of her parents eye, though Maya was more of a daddy’s girl than anything else, always joined at the hip with her dear old dad. Her mother was an actress and her father worked in the medical profession as a neurosurgeon.

Most of her upbringing was due to her father; her mother was always moving around on business and had very little time for her daughter. However, after a tragic accident involving her mother and an insane fan, her mother was left with horrific scars on her face, thus ending her career in an instant. Maya’s mother suffered greatly from depression. She turned to narcotics and soon found herself down a very ugly route of alcohol and drug addiction. Her mother was checked into a rehab centre and after eighteen months returned home to her loving family.

Maya was now fifteen, a bright young girl with a greatly coveted and excellent future ahead of her. Maya aspired to be alike her father: she wished to get a career in the medical profession. Unfortunately her mother did not see it this way and hoped for bigger, more glamorous things for her daughter. She became obsessed with her daughter and began trying to live her lost years thought her. Maya was forced to take dance classes, singing lessons and even was forced to partake in pageants. The young teen was absolutely miserable, but there was nothing she could do. She just wanted to make her mother happy.

For years Maya had played the part of the dutiful daughter. However, at seventeen, Maya found herself becoming mixed with the wrong crowd. Her mother’s depression and erratic mood swings slowly deterred her marriage and Maya soon began to feel neglected. Her father barely spent any time at home; he was always looking to do overtime, just to get away from Angela. Soon, Maya wanted to get away too. She found herself befriending a group of people who were nothing but trouble. Maya wanted to fit in, so she ignored all the warnings and continued seeing them.

Before long her grades began to suffer, her attitude changed, and she began to become her parent’s worst nightmare. No longer was she the kind of girl who could be looked at a treasured for her good behaviour and efforts. She had completely rebelled against her parents. What drove her to such a thing was no longer feeling the family union they’d once had. She blamed her mother for this during the beginning but nearer the end she blamed them both. They no longer loved each other like they had, and because of this they no longer loved her.

Maya decided that she no longer needed her so-called family and that it was all just a waste of everyone’s time, her being there pretending to be happy and with that she left home. She moved in with a few friends and that’s where the real trouble began. It seemed that her personality was not the only thing that had altered. She began to manifest some kind of super ability. She didn’t quite understand at first but over time her eyes became open wide to the goings on. She found comfort and solace in a friend who helped her come to the terms with the fact that she wasn’t like other people. Only a handful, if that.

Her friend Rhona introduced her to a man who could help her. He promised to help her gain control of her abilities, and as repayment she would do a little work for him. He owned a few small businesses that he needed an extra hand in. Only, it wasn’t the kind of work she’d assumed. She found herself a lot more useful when her abilities arose and after so, she found she was in hot demand. Word spread like wildfire, of the wondrous things she could do and soon she was living on the salary of an assassin.

Of course for this role, illusions alone would not be enough. She was put through massive amounts of training, weapons and firearms along with some training in hand to hand combat, particularly specialising in kickboxing and other boxing forms. Maya was a damn good fighter and the best assassin money could buy. Only one mistake ripped the rug of success from underneath her and she suddenly lost everything. She’d always been taught to cover her own ass and one evening on a job, she seemed to forget what she was doing and was attacked. She was left in a really bad state, not just physically but mentally too. Maya seemed to disappear off the face of the earth for a good few years; she became fearfuling of the outside world and preferred the safety of the four walls of her home.

It wasn’t until she reached the age of twenty-five that she found her decision to be the wrong one. It took her six years to realise that living in fear was not something she should have been doing. Further persuasion came from a man she’d gotten speaking to via an online web chat, a mister Monroe. The man was a deluded creature, but what he had said surely made sense. It was mostly his words that prompted Maya to finally step out into the world and show them that she was back and boy did she show them.

Whoever said revenge wasn’t sweet clearly had no idea. Maya made sure that she got her revenge and then some. No longer was she going to live in fear, no longer was she going to allow the big bad world to swallow her up. She was going to make her mark on this city and ensure that her name was only spoken out of fear. It was time for her to give the world a little taste of what she could offer.

Anything else?- (any other important information we should know?)

Sample RP-

A bunch of apartment buildings, run down from the outside she could see. Almost all of the windows were out and covered with boards, there was graffiti sprayed across the brick work and litter painting the sidewalks. She took a left passing down the side of one of the buildings. Five steps into the alleyway she stopped and gazed upward at the ladders that greeted her. Maya placed the bag strap over her shoulder; her arms grabbed a hold of the lower half of a fire escape. Then, she swung her legs like an acrobat and hooked them tightly around the metal frame before taking a better grip of the ladders and effortlessly climbing up them toward the roof. Once she reached the roof she journeyed toward the edge, slowly peering over the brick work and down at the road alley below. They had just arrived. She smirked, seeing figures enter the alley.

Maya took a step back, knelt down next to the bag, and began to unzip it. Placing her hands inside the bag, she slowly brought out a long black sniper rifle. Sure, in most cases she would have dropped down and taken them all on face to face. However, at this point she wasn’t sure how many were here. Silently the woman began to piece the rifle together. She was focused, with both of her eyes fixated on the firearm. Taking it in her left hand, she returned to her place on the edge of the roof. She took position, aimed the gun, and observed through the scope.
