@Vamp: Of course not. Not that she's going to (at the very least purposely) vouch for the position.
Anyways, here's Linda! Hopefully she's still okay as I uh...completely rewrote her personality section and it got shorter.
And I'll either edit Linda's mom's SU into this post or into a new one soon. Unless you'd prefer the SU sheets in seperate posts.
Super Name: Hunter Sigbin (super name); Canis Ryder (fake name)
Secret Identity or Civilian Name: Linda Matulin
Faction: Hero
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Powers, Gadgets, and Skills:
Matulin Lineage: Being of the
Matulin family, she can accelerate quickly and run up to thirty kilometers per hour. Her body is able to withstand those speeds. Unfortunately, she's more susceptible to the cold as well, becoming lethargic whenever she's cold. She also has mana which she can use to cast spells and perform magic as being part of this lineage. Her current spells are limited to these:
- Hunter's Blessing: A passive spell that allows her to create blue glowing darts out of her mana. As Hunter Sigbin, the darts are instead arrows for her bow and explode upon impact. Because it uses her mana, she can only make a maximum of thirty in both forms.
- Sigbin Chant: A short chant (Hatagi ko ang imong ngipon/Hatagi ko kinabuhi, sigbin) that, when uttered right before an attack, will have her attack suck some health from her enemy and transfer it to her.
Matulin Gloves: A family heirloom, these white gloves are enchanted by the family crest--a white circle with a light blue four clawed hand in its center with a blue diagonal zigzag line (looking like the classic depiction of lightning) over it--on the back of the gloves' hand. Whenever she taps the back of her hands together twice, she turns into Hunter Sigbin. As Hunter Sigbin, she gains
enhanced hearing and
enhanced vision, the latter of which is as good as a sniper scope. Her top speed is doubled. Her body's endurance is enhanced, making her withstand the speeds she goes and take more hits than normal. She also gains
Bakunawa.
Bakunawa: An enchanted dark blue bow with a string made of light blue mana. The bow itself strong enough to be used as a melee weapon if needed.
Sonic Dirus: A blue Yamaha YZ450F 2015 possessed with her familiar, the spirit of her pet dog, Sonic. Its headlight glows blue and makes dog sounds because of that. She can call him by whistling.
Expert Marksmanship: Trained since she was young. She's skilled in long range fighting, able to shoot very far accurately and even behind her back.
Swordsplay/Close Quarters Combat: Not the same level as her marksmanship, but not to be underestimated, even with the lack of a sword now.
Driving: She can drive any vehicle but can only perform acrobatic feats with motorcycles.
Billingual: She can speak in English and Cebuano.
Personality: Surprisingly, Linda hasn't changed too much since the events of "the Contest", thanks to her parents' support. She still likes to have fun, especially sports and jokes, but she's considerably calmer, less mischeivous and her smile shows that too. She comes off as the quiet one now but really, she's just much more calm now. Despite what she's been through, she's still as friendly as ever, if a bit more wary of those who like to fight.
She is still, at heart, the protector she is. She does any responsibility and orders given to her well, giving everything she's got, though now has to try not exhausting herself. She doesn't mind being by herself but loves company, especially her parents' (though she often gets exasperated by her mom's terrible jokes). She gets rather "shouty" if you insult the things likes without explanation and she'll still do everything she can to protect the ones she cares for. And she hates being cold, like really. Though since the Contest, she's a bit sensitive on topics involving death, becoming rather somber and even more serious, if that was possible.
Appearance: Linda has a coltish form and stands at 5'1''. She's noticeably fit, but not muscular, from her time training by herself and with her father and various sports with classmates. Her eyes are a serene sky blue, more noticeable with her light brown skin. Her straight black hair reaches her sholderblades and is rather average everywhere else.*Her attire mainly consists of her gloves, a plain black t-shirt, blue jeans, white rubber shoes with metal soles, a brown bandana around her neck and a white jacket that she wears even in summer.
As Canis Ryder, she gains a white helmet that looks like the upper part of a dog head, complete with triangle ears. The helmet covers up to her nose, leaving her hair flowing, and covers her eyes, making it look like she has light blue pupiless eyes. The eyes, despite being part of the helmet, are as expressive as her own, blinking and squinting in synch with her eyes. She gains a black body suit with light blue tron lines running the arms and legs. She has white vambraces, shinguards, round shoulder pads, and chest armor. A light blue line runs across the chest armor, the ends reaching the shoulder pads and making a "U" shape. She also has a light blue belt which holsters
Bakunawa by her left. The only things carried over from her regular attire are her gloves, her white shoes, and her brown bandana, the last one because of her personal attatchment to it.
History: Born in Mandaue, Cebu in the Philippines. Her father was one of several families of a long line of Filipinos who, using magic armor suits, defended their chosen home against monsters. Her mother, however, was an American. Her father's parents were hesitant to their son marrying a foreigner, especially a foreigner with no abilities or magic wielding whatsoever. They relented when they saw how happy their son was. For a while, nothing much happened, bar the teaching she had from her father and whatever combat he could teach. She got a pet dog on her fifth birthday and named him Sonic. She also started watching Kamen Rider thanks to her mother, who liked it herself. But her father's grandparents anger returned when she was six.
Her mother couldn't give birth to another child and the grandparents, not wanting the family name to dissapear, grew livid at that. It was then that her father decided to move to Chromium City, her mom's old home. Although she was young, she could tell her father was torned from the desicion, as he wasn't the same after that. He still had fun training his daughter and he was even at home more often, but she saw he would get really sad whenever he looked at an old photo of himself and his parents. She was grateful that her dad cared so much for her and her mom that he went away from his old fashioned parents. But, when she was 10, she found out it started because of her, so she decided to find some way to at least convince her grandparents that she wasn't a wasted life.
So that was when she got her father's gloves and, getting the idea from watching Kamen Rider, tried to defend the city not from monsters, but from villains. She took up the name Canis and that affected how her helmet looked. Thanks to her dad's teachings, it went well. Her first few attempts, ranging from stopping a bank robbery to foiling the plan of terrorists, were occasionally assisted by, coincidently, a fellow warrior hunter--geriro--and honarary Titan from Negros Oriental, Maria Bituin. Her exploits were eventually seen by her parents (especially the part where she crashed the terrorists on their bikes in the junkyard, hence her Yamaha YZ450F being a bit trashed, as she took theirs). As happy as her father was at being skilled at such a young age, both weren't (reasonably) willing to the idea of a ten year old fighting crime.
But upon seeing that she had an older hunter--Maria was 19--in the area, and she agreed to keeping an eye on her, they decided to let her. Over the next four years, she fought against criminals and supervillains. She got the motorcycle she trashed and used it as transportation, quickly learning how to drive. At twelve, Sonic died from an illness and she was saddened at that, so she asked if they could bring him back as a familiar and make him the family's guardian. They did, after a little thought, and she had him possess her bike as his new body, and so her parents wouldn't worry too much about her driving it. That's when she added Ryder to her super name, and Dirus to Sonic's, since she's "riding a sonic dire wolf."
Her grandparents did indeed hear of her exploits and quickly realized how petty their reasons were. Soon the bridge between her father and them was fixed, which made Linda very happy. She earned her title of Hunter Sigbin from them as she looked like a dog and could shoot behind her. She then got an invite to be part of the team for the city's newly built Teen Titans tower, recommended to the Titans by her friend, Maria. She figured she would get more oppurtunities to help and her parents would worry less if she had a team with her, she told her parents this. They agreed with it and so now she, and Sonic, are with the team.
The last thing she didn't expect--but, in retrospect, isn't half surprised--were things going
bad. A few days after she arrived, they got the new recruits and Control Freak challenged them to a contest royal, not that she knew what that was. It was fine at first but after sacrificing one of the things she held dear, she started wanting to get back at Control Freak. At the final challenge, that's exactly what she did, by leaving him in the hands of Archie. That was when she saw his corpse.
She held together well after that happened and though it scared her a lot, what scared her more was how little she cared. Feeling responsible, she decided to stay with her parents for a bit to train herself more in her spare time. She ended up exhausting herself often and even more so from not getting enough sleep over her guilt. But after talking with her parents, she started feeling better. Eventually, she was her normal self, if less energetic, and accepting of her more dangerous thinking.
After a month since the Contest and living with her parents, she started living back in the Tower. What she didn't expect was that, a week later on a mission, she was helped by another hero...who turns out to be her mom and is going to stay at the Tower too. After explaining that she already talked with her father about this, had went to Robin for permission to be able to stay at the Tower (and get a cool suit from him) and that she's been doing her own "training" since she started doing her heroics, she moved into the Tower after that, which Linda is glad that she's nearby now.
