Name: Teja Docesznic
Alias: Capacitor
Age: 18
Hair: Green (She's naturally a platinum blonde, but dyes her hair to fit the image she maintains)
Eyes: Green
Base of Operations: Mobile, frequently reassigned
Citizenship: United States of America, Slovenia (born in the US to Slovenian parents, she holds dual citizenship)
Personality and History:
The daughter of poor immigrant parents, Teja grew up hearing about how many fantastic opportunities were available in the United States, and from an early age developed a strong sense of nationalism, as well as a healthy respect for the heroes who defended the world and allowed people to become the best they could. While she would never be one of the natural geniuses, Teja is nonetheless quite intelligent, and in school stayed near the top of her class at school through hard work and diligence. Her passion was always for science and engineering, and most of her peers expected her to graduate high school and enroll in one of the top engineering schools.
However, when Teja was 16, she was recruited to join a secretive program attempting to infuse non-meta humans with meta abilities. Teja's passion for heroism won out over her passion for engineering, and she chose to join the program. Naturally discussion of the procedures is classified information, so it is no surprise that Teja does not discuss them, but those higher up in the ranks are aware that the procedures were extremely unpleasant, and had both a low success rate and a low survival rate.
Teja, however, was able to beat the odds, and within a year had developed the ability to hold electric charge. Unlike some other heroes, she does not create electricity herself, but she can absorb it from other power sources and use it to power a variety of devices. Her hard work and her I will do anything to succeed attitude quickly caught attention, as well as her ability to tinker with often unkempt-and-malfunctioning equipment she was usually given.
Special Abilities, Equipment, and Role:
Teja's main power is the ability to act as a power source. She is capable of storing an immense amount of power within herself, and of using it to power different devices. She works most directly with Research and Development, acting as a field-tester for different weapons and devices that are created by team scientists. As most soldiers aren't able to carry around a private reactor system, most of these devices are of the "proof of concept" variety, and unable to be mass-marketed.
Teja's love for engineering has served her well in this role as well, as some of the devices which she is given to test don't always work, or don't always work in the way they are supposed to. She often has to modify her equipment on the fly, trying to adapt it either to the specific situation or merely to a situation where the equipment does anything at all other than explode.
Given her role, Teja's exact equipment is always changing, depending on what she has been able to acquire for any particular mission. She almost always wears a light-weight uniform capable of absorbing any backlash from failed devices, including defense against explosions, electric shock, nuclear radiation, and low-level impact resistance.
While Teja's power source ability can be immense, it is also finite - like any battery, she will eventually run out of charge. Once that happens, she is incapable of powering any special devices until she has a chance to recharge from another power source. She carries a standard assault rifle on the battlefield in case this comes into play at an awkward time, but when her power level zeroes, Teja's primary mission is to extract herself immediately.
