Work in Progress...

The can of spray paint clattered against the concrete, clinking merrily until it rolled up against the curb. The young woman drifted back and admired her work, a large upturned middle finger with a letter on each knuckle spelling out "Beat", her moniker. She considered it a vast improvement over the sloppily done crossbones with the word "Skuls" scribbled under it in uneven splotches. She began to reach into her duffel when the sound of a panicked shout cut through her headphones. Slipping them to the side she waved her hand toward her ear, drawing the noise in, and sighed. More gangs, more Skulls, more trouble. "Time to rock," she muttered to herself as a grin split her lips and her blades clacked against the street, the sound far louder than it should be and growing...

She's working on it.

Decked out in casual loose fitting clothes that seem to have been dredged up from her parents' closets or thrift shops, Alex is definitely a throwback to a decade or two ago with novelty tees, band shirts, and a love of unusual colors. Checking in at a height of 5'2" she's on the shorter side but she makes up for it with a high energy personality. Lean, toned, and tanned it's apparent that she spends more time outside than indoors and the scuffs on her knees and elbows are evidence that she isn't just out there bird watching. The paint splatters on her clothing are almost standard issue at this point. She sports some brunette hair with a hint of red that pairs nicely with her baby blues eyes to go along with a whole list of piercings which include a silver lip ring through the left corner of her bottom lip, a half-inch gauge in either ear, a and triple helix piercing in the top of her left ear. Some poor mishap has also left her with a crescent shaped scar that runs across her left kneecap.

Vibe check? Whatever. A little brash and packing a loudmouth, Alex speaks her mind and let's things fall where they may. Hot-headed and with a temper, Alex constantly finds her mouth moving quicker than her brain which can often lead her into trouble or, at least, some awkward or sticky situations. But despite her flaws she's a fun-loving and optimistic individual. Alex can be a bit of a prankster and joker, often teasing people in a good-nature way, just to get a rise out of them. She has a disdain for those she sees abusing their power, which gives her a bit of an anti-authority streak, and she absolutely despises the types who like to throw their weight around to take advantage of others, especially those weaker or below them in the scheme of things.

Beat's big and loud claim to metahuman fame is the ability to manipulate sound. Whether that be amplification, her preferred use, or nullification and dampening. Most metahumans would hone this into some form of projectile or ranged combat or use it to destabilize enemies and protect allies. But Alex has never been one for finesse when force will do and elects to just lace her street brawling with her own acoustics, using the sound of her fist striking objects to create waves of concussive and near deafening force. The bonus side to this unusual method is it makes for a wonderfully non-lethal method of dispatching crooks and gangs. Few purse snatchers are up for much after having their ears blown out. A list of the various tweaks are as follows.

• Bring The Noise!: Just as it sounds, Beat uses her abilities to increase the volume or decibel range of a normally innocuous sound to destructive levels.

• This Is The Breakdown...: Turning down the volume isn't her go-to, but Alex finds it useful for when she needs to move around unseen.

• 1000 BPM: Probably the most unorthodox usage of her mutant abilities is using the clack of her skates to create concussive bursts to propel her forward at high speed, outpacing some cars.

• Surround Yourself With The Music: A sonic shield doesn't feel like the most impressive feat, but Beat can't knock how handy it is using a revolving wall of sound to deflect pipes and fists aimed at her face.

On the non mutant side of things Alex has been in her share of scraps and scrapes, developing a decent knack for unarmed combat that is typically enough to deal with most of the unfriendly types she runs up against, as well as being hell on vertically aligned wheels with her inline-skates.
