Emerson Holland // Artemis

===IDENTITY===


Full Name: Emerson Genesis Holland
Nickname(s): Em
Codename: Artemis
Age: 17 (birthday is December 16, 1997)
Classification: enhanced human (explained later on)
Affiliation: good



===PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION===


Hair Color: Brown hair that falls a little past their shoulders
Eye Color: Both are grayish color, but they glow bluish in the dark due to body mods
Gender: Agender (prefers they/them)
Height: 5'6"
Body: Somewhere around 130-140 pounds (the metal has added some weight to her body)
Other Traits: They have body mods due to excessive breakage of the bones in their body. There is metal replacing most of their joints (from their fingers and wrist, to their knees and feet). This makes their legs and hands stronger, although still susceptible to breaking. Their eyes have been enhanced so that they can see farther and see at night (hence the glow). When on missions they wear a bodysuit of a thick, silver, flame-retardant material. They also wear a matching silver cloak. They have scars covering most of their body from their many surgeries and are very insecure about this. They are able to blend in with humans, as the only thing externally advanced about them is their eyes. They just have to adjust to pretending not to be able to see certain things or turn off the glow from their eyes in the dark. They play their odd colored eyes off as a disability, saying they are visually impaired, and uses this excuse to allow them a seeing eye dog (also sidekick).



===POWERS===


*Powers*:
+Body mods: Their eyes enable them to see further than the average human (they are able to see detail up to 10 km away) and have  also given them night vision. The other body mods are the metal plates placed within them to reinforce or replace bones from fractures or breakage.

-They're really just a human, other than their alterations.

Skills:
+Archery: Their strong hands and incredible eyesight makes them phenomenal at archery and long distance fighting. Because of their skill in archery and terrific marksmanship they are also fantastic sharpshooters.

+They excel in cooking and traditional art, but not much else.

*Weaknesses* (have to have at least one main weakness) :
+They're human still, so things such as poison or knives can still hurt them.
+Bright lights can overload their mechanical eyes, making it so they can't process the information from their sight for the next 10-20 seconds.
+They are very hot headed, which can result in some rash, spur of the moment decisions that are reckless.
+They can be very trusting at times, which can end up biting them in the butt.
+Their odd colored eyes are played off as a seeing disability.

Weapons/ Equipment:
+They have a silver bow and arrows in a holster on their back. The arrows can do various things (such as emit a shock of electricity, a bright light (to which Emerson must shield their eyes from), a bomb, or flame arrows).
+They are also equipped with two short knives in holsters around their ankles but only uses them as a last resort.
+Their seeing eye dog, a wolf/husky mix, has been trained to respond to Emerson's beck and call. The dog's name is Orion and mostly serves as their look out when on a stakeout.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===


Personality: Emerson is fairly temperamental. When they are ticked off or something happens that they disagree or disprove of, they are quick to react. They are impulsive and decisive, but they try to consider others. They are very caring towards their friends. They're outgoing and assertive, often being called over-confident and extroverted. They are very caring towards their friends.  

Strengths: They are intelligent, despite their rashness. They are also incredibly empathetic and they do their best to do the right thing and follow their moral compass.

Interests/Habits: Emerson enjoys reading and painting and drawing. They're interested in the supernatural and extraterrestrial, their intrigue, both of which are a result of their parents odd deaths (even though they will deny it).


===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===


Family Members:
+Father: Aaron Holland (deceased)
+Mother: Susan Holland (deceased)
+Emerson was an only child.
Place of Origin: Chanute, Kansas was their birth place; Lennox's Orphanage was the place they became a hero
History:
+Emerson had been the prized daughter of Aaron and Susan Holland. They had been the perfect normal family from small town Chanute, Kansas. Aaron was a police officer and Susan a nurse. They lived in a 2 bedroom house with a fence and friendly neighbors and a dog. Emerson's picture perfect life came crashing down on her in the second grade, however, when she walked to her front door after getting off the bus. She had thought it odd that neither her mother nor her father had been standing outside to wave her in. She had opened the door, expecting one of them to greet her. They always made sure that one of them would be at home by 4:00 to receive her. Instead, she was welcomed to the sight of both of her parents sprawled across the floor in a bloody mess. Neighbors came to see what happened, after Em had released her blood curdling cry for help. No one was able to figure out why the happy couple had been slain so brutally and to this day their deaths remain a mystery.
+Not having any immediate family, or anyone to take her in, Em hopped from foster family to foster family until settling in at Lennox's Orphanage. It is here that Dr. Reike found young children and enhanced and strengthened them, under the guise of an orphanage. He would train a select few and teach them how to run through obstacle courses. Em, chosen because of her want to protect others and lack of self-preservation, became one of the lucky few to excel at the courses and training. While training these children were frequently injured, and under the supervision of Dr. Reike they were taken care of. This is how most of them came to have metal joints and splints within them. One fateful day though, a jealous child, during a sparring match, blinded Emerson by pushing her thumbs into her eye sockets. Dr. Reike designed bionic eyes for Em that were capable of functioning better than her previous ones. Emerson, upon being granted this gift, utilized it to excel at her marksmanship. After the sparring incident, Em tried her best to avoid any close-contact with anyone. Furthermore, after getting used to her new eyes, she declared new pronouns for herself (they/them). Not long after their surgery, the orphanage was investigated by the government. Upon discovering Emerson and their altered peers, the orphanage was shut down and Dr. Reike vanished. Emerson now resides in Star City by herself, only being checked in with her government caretaker, Jacqueline Weber. She poses as an emancipated teen, that goes to the public high school and is trying their best to blend in while simultaneously training and investigating their parents' death.
*Sample rp*:
+Emerson pushed their thumb into the dip of their hip, massaging at the muscles beneath their pants. They had been up for quite awhile the previous night, practicing their close combat by themselves, as it was their weak point. This had been their routine for the past few months, since the orphanage had been shut down. They would stay up late, making it up almost until dawn, reviewing their parents' case (or what little they had of it) and perfecting their fighting skills. Emerson hid their training from their caretaker, whom would most likely report them to someone who would restrict them from continuing an investigation. Hooking a thumb into one of the belt loops they hoisted their pants up as they walked along the sidewalk towards the local coffee shop. Orion led them proudly, padding feet distinct on the ground, as they adjusted the dark sunglasses resting on their face. Once making it to the shop, Orion led Em in and towards the line, where a small iced coffee was ordered. After placing the order and receiving the cup, Em sat a small table in the corner of the shop. Orion curled up at their feet, tail thumping on the ground contentedly as Em pulled headphones out of their bag and plugged them into their phone. After fiddling for a second with the apps they made it to the podcast app, where the latest news of the world could be heard. Words went through Em's ears soothingly as a monotonous voice with little inflection told them of wars and battles in far off places and medical discoveries having very little do with themself. Putting the straw to the bitter coffee to their lips, Emerson closed their eyes, trying to process the dull information now being told to them.

Notes: Please tell me if there is anything you would like to have me fix on this! It's been awhile since I've auditioned for something!

Welcome to the site!

All I need is some specifications on how much your reinforced bones can take. Does it protect against crushing and piercing damage? What about chemical and energy attacks? Once that's all figured out it's all good!

Thank you!

And the reinforced bones can protect against crushing, to some extent. If a force above 4,000 pounds psi were to crush their bones, it would snap them. Piercing weapons can still puncture them, but it won't be able to penetrate past their bones. If they were to be stabbed in the stomach it would be fatal. Emerson has difficulties with electric attacks, as their bones channel energy, but they do not protect them very efficiently. If energy were to be channeled at them, it would do as much damage to them as it would any other person, except maybe their skeleton would be a bit more in tact. They are still susceptible to chemical attacks (such as burns and noxious gas), but any gas targeting their eyes would prove futile.

Hopefully this clears up any of the confusion!

I hereby dub this app approved.

I'm a bit tied up in work at the moment but come the weekend I will kick off the first event. Stay tuned!
