Full name: Rossignol DeCosta
Alias: Typhoid
Approximate Age: 23
Birthdate: As near as she can figure, May 9, 1986.
Hair: Reddish blonde, but gains some white striping with extended high level power use, though the striping will fade eventually.
Eyes: Usually blue, can darken to almost black with extended high level power use.
Face: Oval shaped, very pale skin, small tattoo along cheek
Height: About 5'7''
Weight: Between 140-150 generally
Build: Thinnish but with curves, not a stick figure.
Dress Sense: Favors black, burgundy, deep purple, navy, and deep green. Her appearance has changed quite a bit since she first came to G&I. These days her outfits tend to be dark and a little Gothic but are more ladylike and sophisticated instead of street. She also no longer has to wear a coat and gloves at all times, but in the midst of crowds will often do so anyways for her own peace of mind.
Extra Appearance Info: Favors darker makeup but not in the extreme.
Powers:
She can reduce anything living to ash by skin to skin (or plant, animal, etc.) contact. While her touch used to cause instant death, events conspired to be able to allow her to touch, though she can choose to erect a skin tight field that will accomplish basically the same purpose. She can also "ash" anything living or non living by force of telekinesis, but her teke is limited to destruction (she cannot levitate objects, for example). The range of this power often encompasses miles.
She can undo any damage she does to a limited degree. The most complex thing she has ever been able to "heal" are small cuts and scrapes on other people that she has caused. Used on a large scale this takes a toll on her as her power is not meant to reverse itself naturally.
She has the ability to hear heartbeats and sense life around her, but is not a telepath. This works as a type of targeting system. Using this she can focus on someone miles away and affect them using her other powers.
Typhoid can turn her powers on herself and on others that she is touching, effectively turning into an ash-like substance and then reforming later by force of will alone. This power also takes a toll on her when used extensively, resulting in fatigue, disorientation, and nausea for both her and anyone she uses it on. That being the case, she doesn't use it often.
She has developed the ability to turn transparent and, much like the mutant Mary who possessed her, possess others as well, taking over their psyche if she so chooses. The transparency often shows unconsciously when she does not want to handle a situation. She has limited control over this ability but it proves to be unpredictable, and because of that Typhoid rarely uses it consciously, if at all.
Typhoid can also “fly” for short periods of time, using the sheer force of her power to propel her upwards. However, when she does this the ground beneath her will always show some sort of destruction, ranging from ashed grass to falling buildings, depending the amount of power she uses. Over time, she has learned to control this aspect of her powers, but still prefers not to use them.
Because of her power based immunity to disease, Typhoid once had the ability to generate her own version of 'typhoid fever' to use as a weapon against others. After an encounter with Odin, Typhoid's powers were altered with her consent, to give her the ability to touch. That alteration came with a price. She is no longer immune to disease, and therefore her body can no longer generate the virus that causes the fever without harming itself.
Other Issues: Typhoid has multiple personality disorder. Though her psyche is fragmented into quite a few personalities, there are 3 main ones that will occasionally interact with the outside world: Mary, or Bloody Mary, a personality that has been absorbed by the spirit of a mutant; a little girl whose name is unknown but who Typhoid also refers to as Mary, and Typhoid herself. The Professor was able to eradicate Bloody Mary, however Typhoid still deals with the other personalities in her mind.
Achilles Heel: After Typhoid goes for a certain amount of time without using her powers, she will develop a physical illness similar to the one she's named for. She requires a large power release to avoid this illness.
Unlike most other telekinetics, she cannot lift an object into the air without destroying it.
Typhoid was dating Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver) until the war. He disappeared without warning during a battle and has not returned since.
