Tysm for the ask!!!!11

‧₊˚✧ Charlie Barak - Character Intro ✧˚₊‧
picrew here
‧₊˚✧ Basic Info ✧˚₊‧
Name || Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Barak
Age || Twenty-Two
Birthdate || August 25th
Gender + pronouns || Trans girl + she/her
Orientation || Lesbian
Ethnicity || Syrian
Alias || Conductor
╰› This was the alias Charlie used during her time as a fighter. She was one of those kids who was really into trains, so it was a play on that and an electrical conductor.
Enhancement || Electrokenisis
╰› Charlie's body creates an excess amount of static electricity, which causes many health issues such as chronic migraines and seizures (powers with drawbacks my beloved). She can expel small amounts of electricity from her body (typical lightning powers you'd see in media), as well as manipulate electrical devices around her (lights, for example).
Alignment || Neutral good
Daytime occupation || Bartender
College Major || Kinesiology
Likes || Sports (she’s on the track and basketball teams), working out, running, going to the gym
Dislikes || Her past, wide open spaces, feeling exposed, her own anger
‧₊˚✧ Appearance ✧˚₊‧
Charlie has warm brown skin and caramel brown eyes that look almost gold in the sun. Her wavy dark brown hair is usually tied back in a small ponytail or bun, especially when she's working or at the gym, though a few strands hang loosely over her forehead.
She's quite tall and well built, considering how active she is. She has one of those noses that's clearly been broken before and never really healed right, so not it's kinda crooked.
Height || 5’11’’ (180 cm)
Outfits || Her work outfit is a simple white collared shirt rolled up to her elbows, under a black vest type thing--typical bartender uniform thingy. When she's not at work, she doesn't put a huge amount of effort into her appearance, dressing simple and practical rather than for fashion.
‧₊˚✧ Personality ✧˚₊‧
For as long as she could remember, Charlie's been angry.
At the world, at the people who ruined her life, at her brother, and most of all at herself. It started as a quiet burn inside of her when her brother died, and only intensified as she grew older and eventually escaped the facility. Eventually, though, with the right people to help, she's learned to start managing it. She's still angry, but now she doesn't have to beat up people twice her size to deal with it.
...at least for a while.
ANYWAYS.
She's friendly at the surface level--she has to be, working in customer service--but she's still pretty reserved and secretive. Paranoid, almost. She doesn't give up personal information easily. But if you're someone she's already close with, she's fairly loyal and open. It just takes a bit to get there.
She's really athletic, and enjoys playing and watching sports, working out, going to the gym, etc etc. She's reactive, adaptable, and a fighter at heart.

‧₊˚✧ Background ✧˚₊‧
tw - charlie's backstory includes themes of kidnapping, loss of a family member, ???. Keep yourself safe first and foremost <3
Charlie was twelve years old when her enhancement developed. She was simply sitting in her 6th grade science classroom, trying to ignore the boys in her class who kept throwing colored pencils at her. But eventually, she turned, yelled, "will you quit it?", and the lights in the classroom went out.
While in hindsight, it was painted as simply a coincidence--faulty wires, or something--Charlie knew deep down that it wasn't. She'd heard the stories of the kids who could do crazy things on tv, of course. But she'd also heard stories of those people being murdered, kicked out, and other unspeakable things. So, she was smart enough to stay quiet.
Unfortunately, someone else noticed.
Her science teacher, Mr. Holt. He'd always talked in class about the enhanced, seemed fascinated by them. Charlie had never thought much about that.. until he took her.
One moment, she was simply walking home from the park with her 5 year old little brother, Caleb, and the next.. a sharp pain in her neck, then darkness.
The siblings awoke in some sort of makeshift science laboratory that looked like it had been built out of a shed.
The next three and a half years of Charlie's life were a blur of experiments and agony. From what she could gather, Holt was fascinated by the enhanced, he would do anything to figure out why they could do what they could do, how that could help him, etc etc. Charlie and her brother were the unfortunate guinea pigs for his tests.
Caleb was killed a year into it, experiment gone wrong, and maybe he was the lucky one. And then Charlie was alone, terrified.
She was fifteen when she finally escaped, by stealing some chemicals from the lab, dumping them onto Holt's face, and making a run for it.
She wandered for a while, having no idea where she was, what to do, where to go, etc. She eventually found her way into the city, and for a while she.. survived. She slept wherever she could, found food, used the public computers in the library to find out that not only had she been pronounced missing and then dead, but her parents had died sometime in her absence as well. She doubted it was an accident.
She was angry. She was alone, terrified, starving, but most of all she was so, so angry.
Eventually, she came across this sort of.. fight club, for enhanced people. It offered a pretty good pay for the simple act of going into a pit and beating the shit out of someone.. no rules, just entertainemnt for whatever sickos decided to check it out.
It wasn't perfect, but it was the best opportunity she had. So, Charlie signed up. Even though most of her opponents were twice her size, she was able to fight defensively and use her powers to her advantage.
She used this as her primary income for food and basic needs for a while, until she met Robyn.
He was also a fighter at this place, around her age. They met between matches, quickly becoming good friends. Good enough that they were eventually able to scrounge together enough money to get a tiny apartment together and enroll in school.
Charlie now works as a bartender at the Sine, a sports bar a little away from her college campus. She shares an apartment with Robyn while she works on a kinesiology degree.

Well fun fact I was once working on an old draft of the enhanced in computers class bc I finished my work early right
And my teacher ended up standing behind me (man is quiet as fuck I can not hear him walk up ever) and apparently was just reading over my shoulder and then said in a slightly traumatized voice ‘what are you writing right now?’
….yeah sticking to this font at school from now on guys
I just found the funniest font ever
Like. What is this. Why is this. Who is the target audience of this?
Gosh I miss that show 😭🙏
Who’s your fav character??? :)
Rwby fan spotted in the wild…….
Indeed
which oc thinks everyone is their enemy?
which oc makes horrible life decisions but they always end up working out
Finally answering this on this blog
(Some of these are technically out of context spoilers hehheheheh)
1. Tragic/angsty siblings
2. ‘Came back wrong’ trope
3. Third person past tense
4. Italics
5. The em dash <3333 (if I could marry it I would)

Hey writers,
What are some great websites you've found that you can write on them like google docs without the worry of ai training?
I want to steer away from docs but the only other thing I can think of is using drafts here on tumblr to save my work and I really don't want to do that. And I don't have money to pay for word processors.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Me me me !!!!
Hi I’m Will this blog is where I’ll be posting my original story The Enhanced, whenever I actually get it written lol
My pinned post has info ✨
WRITERS! Where are you?
I'm looking for writers on here who are working on their own original stories.
Fan content gets a lot more love than original fiction does around here, so promote away, shamelessly. Post links if you've got 'em
Personally I mostly read Sci-Fi and Fantasy but this is a free for all.
Today’s goals:
- get Charlie’s character intro up - FINISHED!!!!!!!!!
- hit 1k words
Can yall bully me into doing this please
@corinneglass @sunflowerrosy @eon-tries-writing @lunesartsworld @ark-inkweaving
Aww you stopped following me. lol
I DOD ?! O H THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT HOLD ON
I still don't know what a whump is and I am too afraid to ask now.
No worries, take your time!!!!! Dms are open if you wanna talk friend <3
Hey, y’all
Just wanted to say that the mental health isnt too great at the moment. So, I haven’t really been writing much- I’m so sorry, but I won’t be probably posting much actual writing! I’ll still do tag games and other stuff, but I don’t really have any actual, new, chapter progress to give yall.
Just thought I’d let you know <3
‧₊˚✧ Introduction ✧˚₊‧
Welcome to THE ENHANCED, a personal writing project that is a rewrite of a very, very old story I was working on a long time ago. I will probably never officially publish this, but I still wanted to get it out to the world somehow, so this blog came to be.
(The plot is really old so expect some cliches T-T)
I will be posting chapters (probably in parts) for your enjoyment. I do not have a definite release schedule yet, as I have to actually write it out first, but I will keep you guys updated as much as possible.
My plan right now is to write all of act 1 before I start posting so I can keep a semi-consistent schedule of publication, but that's open to change.
‧₊˚✧ About The Author ✧˚₊‧
Hiya!!! I'm Will, a queer, disabled teen author of (mostly) queer disabled characters :) I like to write what I know/can relate to.
You can find my main blog, where I post about the projects I actually plan on publishing, at @write-with-will !
I'm a minor (high school), so be safe when interacting with this blog and my main. I have no qualms against older people following along with this story though, especially since the characters are older. Just don't interact with me in ways a child shouldn't be interacted with and all will be well :).
Now that all that is out of the way, onto the story!!!
‧₊˚✧ Basic Info ✧˚₊‧
Status - writing!!!
POV - 3rd person
Tense - past
Genre - superhero fiction, urban fantasy
Tropes - found family, team as family, superheroes, superpowers, whump
Other - lgbt rep, poc rep, disability rep (all main characters)
Content warnings - this story includes references to past child abuse, alcohol (the main character works as a bartender), injuries that aren't in a ton of detail, death, past trauma, discrimination, violence, action, and lots and lots of angst
Themes - death, healing, family, platonic relationships, betrayal
‧₊˚✧ Synopsis ✧˚₊‧
Anya really, really hates lying to people. Which is weird, considering that when she's not suffering through getting a criminology degree, she has a part time job at the Pacific Northwest chapter of ERGO--an organization that protects and monitors people who were born....different.
The enhanced, they were dubbed, the handful of kids who were born around the world with any kind of 'enhancement'--from being exceptionally strong or fast to having wings. And just like anything new... it wasn't taken very well by the general population.
Anya's newest project should be fairly simple: check out college student Charlie, who they suspect to be enhanced, and to have some unfortunate connections that could be invaluable in the fight for acceptance and safety.
