POWER: Encyclopedic knowledge
STRENGTHS:. At the heart of this power is a simple premise - that those w/this power possess a vast innate knowledge on most everything (the arts, science, sports, music, etc.) and can fully understand said knowledge with this power w/out having to study or learn. In addition, individuals with this power can acquire more knowledge to add to their storehouse of knowledge; the limit to this depends on how strong the power is w/in the individual.
WEAKNESS: Despite being able to acquire vast amounts of knowledge, it doesn't mean that the individual can use said knowledge; intelligence and knowledge are not concurrent. In addition, knowledge doesn't necessarily equal skill or ability; just because you know something doesn't mean you can follow through on it.


FACE CLAIM. Tegan Quin
HEIGHT. 5'4"
WEIGHT. 116lbs
IDENTIFYING FEATURES. Numerous tattoos down her back, across her stomach and mid-section and down both arms and legs (tattoos acquired both inside and out of incarceration)
OVERALL. Tamara has a slim yet wiry build (one of the few friends that she has describes her as having "muscles like nylon cords; strength concealed by economy of size") with short-cut, pixie-like dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes framed by an impish, carefree appearance that belies the stresses that she has fought with throughout her life.


POSITIVE TRAITS. Polite, Empathetic, Compassionate, Loyal
NEGATIVE TRAITS.  Distant, Cold-hearted, Self-depreciating, Quick to fight

OVERALL. A study in contrasts; on the one hand, Tamara is polite, friendly, loyal to her friends and so forth. On the other hand, the fact that, up to now, she's spent a good deal of time in jails and prison have kept her distant and cold-hearted. She doesn't try to get close to most people because she knows, as a two-time felon, her third strike could be her last....

FATHER. Wallace Lyell, age 52
MOTHER. Amelia Lyell, age 56
SIBLINGS. n/a
OTHER FAMILY. scattered throughout the Detroit/SE Michigan area
HOMETOWN. Detroit, Michigan
OVERALL. "When you've been on the wrong side of the tracks, everything looks boring..." Born into a working-class Detroit family, life was rough for Tamara and while she found solace in being the smartest person around ( due to her  mutant power of encyclopedic knowledge) it was made her the target of bullies. So, as a defense against that, she ended up running with a local 7 Mile Road gang. The gang life was fun - drinking smoking, living the life of a would-be gangster - but it came with a price for her.

The price? Several stints in juvenile custody, followed by stints in county jail and a three-year bit in prison for armed robbery, taught Tamara some hard, hard lessons but it also made her a stronger person on the inside. She also, much to her surprise, learned a skill on the inside - auto repair. Taking to it like a duck to water, she used a combination of her innate mutant powers and her physical skills to become an auto mechanic, a skill and ability she hopes will keep her from running into criminal trouble once again...
