Rasa

I Must Go On Standing

Introduction  xxxxxRasa Djalili wears hir heart on hir skin, quite literally. While ze has managed to gain more control over hir appearance over the years, emotions affect the color of hir skin when unguarded, changing hir overall shape and often displaying hir strongest emotions as text written across hir body. Rasa's touch-based telepathy has the most delightful of connections to hir metamorphic body - rendering hir a very different looking person from one moment to the next. History xxxxxRasa had a pretty normal childhood, raised as the only child to a pair of first generation American Persians.  When puberty started to show on Rasa’s young body by grossly exaggerating the appearance of the common cold, hir parents found themselves taking hir to every doctor they could, spending lots of time and money keeping hir in hospitals.  Finally ze was finally diagnosed as a mutant, hir parents reacted poorly to the fact that their offspring carried the x-gene and opted to move to a new city, disguising Rasa and hir mother in burqas to hide as conservative religious sorts. xxxxxWhile Rasa rejoiced at being able to be treated as a female, ze did not at all enjoy being locked away in hir room for days on end, outside of school.  After a time, ze attracted the attention of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngters and ended up enrolled the winter of hir freshman year.  In the beginning, ze had time to grow and come out of hir shell a little before the outside world started creeping in.  Little by little, hir world started twisting and changing, becoming unrecognizeable from that tiny bedroom ze was trapped in for so many years. xxxxxEducation at Xavier's gave Rasa a wealth of information and experience - good and bad and unfortunately traumatizing. Through it all, ze was able to receive counseling to help hir recover and deal with new issues that arose. As hir partner, Ivan, began to lose connection to the waking world because of his mutation, ze dove head first into the study of mutation and its affects on mental health, especially from a medical point of view. Ze did hir undergrad work at NYU and went from there to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. xxxxxNewly returned to New York City, Rasa is now working a residency at the Mendel Clinic and at hir high school alma mater, Xavier's School. Ze is also regularly visits Chimaera_Arts for the more physical circus arts.

Powers
xxxxxRasa has a problem with thought transparency.  A metamorph with touch telepathy, ze has a tendency toward displaying all of hir thoughts and feelings on hir skin.  Ze can literally change hir appearance to match what ze is thinking or feeling.  When blushing, ze blushes all over hir body.  When feeling hurt, pains appear as red spots, spikes, or stiffer or harder bits of bulging muscle, depending on the ailment.  Sicknesses can be localized colorations or wide spread greens.  While this may be useful for diagnosing a problem, Rasa has an active imagination and nervousness could look a lot like worms squirming around under hir skin.  When depressed, hir limbs are heavier in weight and larger and more cumbersome to use.  Any time ze tries to concentrate /hard/ on something in particular, to try and express something in specific, the words ze is thinking of become written across hir skin - usually around hir face and hands, but also across hir torso.  Ze is at the point where ze will often write words on hir hands rather than speaking, especially when wishing to remain calm and focused. xxxxxRasa was born male, but as how ze thinks about hirself affects hir body, ze tends to appear very feminine, in hir curves and small chest.  Ze retains male reproductive organs at this time as ze hates doctors and figures when ze really feels really, really female, they’ll go away on their own.  Hir powers have already arrested most masculine development, including facial and body hair, keeping hir androgynous for the most part. xxxxxRasa has to eat often and exercise to maintain hir equilibrium.  Hunger shows itself very quickly, turning hir gaunt and spindly.  Ze needs proteins more than anything, so is constantly ingesting nuts to maintain hir weight.
