and she goes by the handle MistecXx online.
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Affiliation: Superstar
Physical Appearance:
When you spot a 5'11" thin, willowy nerd with dark, frizzy hair that adds another 3 inches to her height wandering through the streets of Hong Kong, you've found Leilani. On closer inspection she and her cousin Ina are very close in skin tone--both have creamy-coffee coloration, though Leilani's is peppered with tiny freckles all over her cheeks and shoulders from her Mother's side. Leilani has heterochromatic eyes. One is dark Tahitian brown, the other is greenish-hazel.
Personality:
NERD. She has a tattoo on her wrist that only says NERD in big, block letters, and that is the solid rock from which her personal preferences, morals and religion springs from. She likes modern technology and all its incarnations. She believes that constant progress is the only thing that will keep Humanity from extinction. Her religions are internet based, and steeped in Pastafarian.
Thankfully with her big brother's steady hand on her social upbringing, Leilani can manage a social life on her own. She will, however, always prefer a night in with her cousins playing Dokapon Kingdom and schooling their normie asses.
History:
Leilani grew up in Vermont; a typical nerd from birth from a Tahitian immigrant and a red-headed Vermont debutante. She watched My Little Ponies, Sailor Moon, Digimon, she knows all the Pokemon by heart and played at a competitive level. Her grades were in the top 10% of her class from gradeschool through college, allowing her to skip sophomore year in high school. Constantly tortured from age 13-17 by her cousin Ina's teasing, She was once the biggest fangirl of Tectonic, whome Ina had befriended during her stint in Valor City. She moderated his NHA forums, she ran a webseries dedicated to his triumphs. She prayed for the day that she came into her geokinetic Diamond-style action powers so she could one day be united with her hero!
Well, that didn't happen.
In her Junior year of high school, Leilani finally blossomed into a Technokinetic, much to the chagrin of her Computer Science teacher. She tried to skate by that class on her new talents, but smart Mr. Wilkins kept her learning the old-fashioned way. This lead to her graduating with a Masters in Computer Science, specializing in Cybersecurity.
Ina took her along to China to not only handle the techy side of her business, but to manage the social network and do some white-hat hacking.
Power:
Technokinesis! If it's got a microchip or an integrated computer, LeiLei can make it bend to her whim. She can manipulate technology by touch or by proximity, much like a living wireless hub. Her kinetic power allows her to interface with various technologies and make them perform their functions by touch or by distance at the speed of thought. She cannot create technologies out of thin air, but if a technology was presented to her, she could make it perform to her benefit.
Drawback:
Dumb Technology. For example: Leilani could click open a lock with an electronic keypad or a biometric scanner, but if its a common deadbolt, she's out of luck. This was extremely annoying to her when she would lock herself out of her car in college--it had push locks on the doors.
Leilani may be able to manipulate Technology from afar, but she only within 30 feet. She cannot hack a master console from 40 feet away. HOWEVER, if there is an internet-capable device within her range, she can use her learned skills to take control of that device to access the master console the old-fashioned hacker's way.
Leilani has found that the strain of keeping these powers functioning for longer than six hours gives her splitting headaches and vomiting. For the next six hours, she must turn off anything smarter than a coffee pot while she recovers. She found this out once when attempting to create code while she cleaned the apartment. That was a shitty, shitty day.

Likes/Dislikes:
+ All the Nerd Things--but PC is always king in the console wars.
+ That Chinese dish Ina's mom makes that she hopes she can find another version of in Hong Kong. Seriously its amazing and she can never remember the name of it. Maybe she made it up.
+ Honestly she prefers keyboards to touch screens.

- Octopi, and octopi related foods. Gross.
- House Rules. She chafes under them from her upbringing.
- PVP games. We already fight each other in the real world--why not play some co-op instead?
