*DECEASED*
Full Name: Brooke Taylor
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Powers:
Addiction Inducing
Brooke Taylor has the power to induce addiction. The power of addiction inducing has numerous possibilities, even with ten years of experience of using her power she is unable to reach the full potential of what her power is capable of.
A brief summary of Brooke's addiction is that she has the ability to cause a person to become overwhelmed from strong urges over a select object or desire such as: alcohol, chocolate, sex, smoking, sugar or any other addictive substance she can think of. She does not have to have ever tried the substance to make the victim crave, all she has to do is focus on the substance itself.
Substances are not the only things that Brooke can cause someone to become addicted to there are only psychologically things that Brooke can induce upon a victim. Such as if Brooke needed to escape someone from within a building she could cause them to become fasinated with wall or roof patterns finding every little detail intriguing and finding it difficult to break away.
Power Limits:
As Brooke's power of addiction inducing has grown so have the limits of that ability. The more people she has craving addictions, the more energy it takes out of her and the lack of control she has over her victims. Brooke must have physical contact with the person she wishes to inflict with the addiction and it has to be skin on skin contact as it will not work through clothing or through the air.
The addicition inflicted by Brooke will act just as a real life addiction. The victims who are unfortunate enough to be infected by Brooke's ability will have to use their own mental strength to overcome their own personal addictions. So the stronger a person's mental strength and willpower the quicker they are able to overcome their addictions and not give in to temptation.
Distance between Brooke and the addiction infected victim also affects the strength of the addiction. The further away someone is from Brooke the easier the addiction is to quit and not affect the victim anymore. But the closer Brooke is to the person the more addictive the substance or fixation becomes.
Personality:
Brooke summarized in the smallest amount of words possible, would be that she is a narcissistic bitch. She is a very demanding woman who likes her needs to be met without question. When she doesn't get her own way, she acts as if she does not care but will cry when she finds a moment alone.
Brooke feels she has to act this way as the only time she feels safe and secure is when she is under the spotlight on stage. She can be surrounded by big groups of people and feel like a outcast as they don't know the real her. The only time she lowers her guard is when she either upset or when she feels secure with a person.
Homophobia was something Brooke grew up with and influenced her to become homophobic herself. The first people who she saw homophobic behaviour displayed by were both her parents. Brooke's parents were taking her shopping when they saw two girls kissing outside. Brooke's parents made noises of disgust and said to Brooke "If you ever like a girl like that then you are dead to us, as that sort of behaviour is wrong and disgusting." Brooke also hung around with people who hurled homophobic abuse at whoever they could. Brooke had started saying it just to fit in with her group but then she began meaning her words and actions towards homosexuals.

Brooke is a Latino female with a soft brown skin tone. Her eyes are a pair of chocolate brown. She has well-cared for straight black hair which currently reaches just below her shoulder blades. She loves both styles to her hair either straightening it or curling it. Brooke can also be quite experimental when it comes to her appearance as she likes to keep people intrigued with her and likes people never to know what to expect from her.
When seen by people she does not know, it is very easy for people to judge her purely by her attitude and appearance. She appears to be either quite diva-ish, self-centered, bitchy, sarcastic, narcissistic or a combination of them all. As for her appearance Brooke seems to materialistic and what she deems as stylish. As she buys expensive clothing and jewelery with her money when she has it through her job or any means she can get it.
Celebrity Claim: Bermudez, Julissa
Character lives in: New York City.
History:
Brooke's mother Oria and father Vin were both born & raised in Santo Domingo DE Guzman. They were childhood sweethearts and there feelings have remained strong up into the present day. Brooke was born and raised in Santo Domingo De Guzman for 3 years before they decided to move to America believing that they would find a better life out there for a family.
So Brooke was raised away from Santo Domingo De Guzman and was thrown into the heart of New York City. She grew up being taught to respect her heritage back in the Dominican but she also embraced her new found life style in New York.
Brooke spent a lot of time with her mother growing up as she embraced her love of cooking and it became a quick passion of hers. So she loved cooking for her parents whenever she could and they encouraged her to follow her cooking dream.
She had been prepared to study cooking in higher education but she was afraid to get into debt so she decided to put her dream on hold. That is how Brooke ended up in the Burlesque club "The Diamond Cove!" It had meant to be a place to earn the money for her education but she carried on as a passion and craving for the stage and spotlight grew on her.
Brooke's power manifested when she was 13 during a time when she was babysitting part time. One night when she was halfway through babysitting a three year old girl called Amy, Brooke was losing patience. So as her stress level increased she grabbed the girl by her hand forcing her to face her.
Through her touch Brooke caused the girl to become addicted to what she had wanted her to do in the first place which was to be quiet and read. So Brooke watched as the girl's eyes glassed over for a moment before returning to their normal colour and she headed over to the pile of toys her mum had left out as well as some books. The little girl picked the top one up and began to read at once. But it did not freak Brooke out but just fascinated her to find out more about what she had done.
Other information: She is homophobic.
Flaws:(at least 3):
- Caligynephobia (Fear of beautiful women)
- She has HIV.
- She has a slash wound across her back just above her hips.
- She is homophobic.
Do you play anyone else: Olivia Clarkson
Sample role-play( This must be with the charrie you are applying for): The roar of the crowd began as Brooke was introduced over the microphone for the music & entertainment booth. She was one of the main dancers in the place and was requested often by high planning clients. So the lights on the stage at the back of the club faded into complete darkness as a the music slowly began to play loudly throughout the club.
Behind the slide doors at the back of the stage Brooke was waiting in a elegant red dress ready to try and help the customers pay more then they already were. As mist was released slowly onto the stage, the slide doors began to part and Brooke stood in the middle of the doorway. She was welcomed with a mixture of drunken and sober cheers in the crowd.
Her back was seen by the crowd before she turned around to face the crowd who had been crying out the cheers for her. Then she walked slowly toward the microphone that was near the front centre of the stage. Brooke let her eyes travel across the crowd so she could gain a sense of familarity with her audience.
After her eyes had wandered the crowd Brooke recognized the type of audience she had cheering her tonight. It was mostly made up of the usual people that Brooke had become accustomed to being a audience in the club while she or some of the other girls would dance.
