Profile

EMPATHIC TRANSMISSION

No one is actually aware that Tatum has this power, as it is so subtle that it has never been noticed. It does, however, account for some of her extreme excellence in music. Yes, she practices daily. Yes, she is very good at her music. But getting into both Juilliard and the New York Philharmonic on her first audition? Not even Yo-Yo Ma was that good and he had been training since he was 5.
Tatum is able, when playing an instrument, to cause her audience to feel what she wants them to feel. She has always been a very emotional person, putting her emotions into her playing, and so this power has always been attributed to the fact that she is just that excellent a player. And while she is good, this power has helped her along her way.

POWER NEGATION

Tatum controls an aura of what she refers to as her 'dead zone'. Within this aura of effect, Tatum has the ability to negate any kind of power no matter what its origin is, whether it is mutant, metahuman, alien, psionic or magic based. Some very powerful individuals(EFC) will only be weakened or dampened by her field. Some physical effects such as being thin may also occur depending on the nature of the power that has been negated. While the natural size of this effect is a 3m (10ft) radius sphere, she has learned to control it so it stays within a field about her body that is within a few inches in a more condensed field. She is also able to push her field to a much larger area effect, able to grow her field to 10m (33ft).
She has learned over time to be able to 'target' her field by making it an ellipsis and using the axis to envelope her target. However, it is still a field effect and anyone entering the now thin line of the ellipsis will be effected.

Skills

CELLIST

Tatum is an extremely talented cellist. Considering she never picked up the instrument until high school, how naturally she took to it is nothing short of amazing. She managed to get accepted into Juilliard on her first attempt and was soon the top of her class. She has her Batchelor of Music, with Strings being her focus. She has been referred to by those that are in the music world as the next great cellist, compared to those such as Ma, Rostropovich and Cassals.

COMBAT TRAINED

Tatum is familiar with firearms operation, marksmanship, and unarmed combat and while not a soldier, her practice has been dedicated enough that she can be expected to perform on the level of a trained soldier in the technical if not the tactical. Put simply, she can shoot, hit what she is aiming at, maintain weapons and clear basic malfunctions,. In addition, she is proficient with a martial art that is heavily weighted with pressure points and joint locks.

COUNCELLOR

Though she may seem rather rough around the edges, Tatum was starting to go back to college to become a Social Worker. While her studies weren't finished, she is able to listen and guide people through troubling times

DIPLOMACY

Considering her rather acerbic personality, one might be surprised that Tatum can be very diplomatic. Actually, none were more surprised to discover she had this skill then herself. Whether it is a particular melodic lilt to her voice, a trustworthiness in her face, or the fact that she is totally blunt and honest, people seem to trust her and be willing to listen to her.

DRIVING

Tatum loves to drive and perhaps saw the Fast and Furious movies a few too many times. Tatum has learned how to drive fast and make maneuvers that would terrify most people. While she is not at the level of a professional stunt driver, it wouldn't take her long to get to that level with some actual training.

< Home Economics >------------------------------ Tatum had to learn at an early age how to take care of herself. With her mother's alcohol problem, as well as her worsening mental health, it was up to Tatum to start cooking for them both. That then turned to doing the grocery shopping; then the cleaning and then finally the sewing to keeping them clothed and the budgeting. Due to this, Tatum is actually pretty damned good at maintaining a home. She is particularly adept at candy-making.

KNOWLEDGE

Having come from another world, Tatum has knowledge that a person on this world might not have. However, this is a different world and sometimes her knowledge will be flawed as things are not exactly the same as they were where she is from.

Weaknesses

LIMITATIONS

Tatum's power, while extremely potent, does have its limitations. For starters, with her targeting. She is only able to target someone within her line of sight. If she cannot see them, she cannot target them. Secondly, natural abilities of a species are not negated. For example, Tatum can't stop a person from talking. However, Cypher, who uses his ability to talk, is not. A psychic, while not be able to penetrate her field to affect her, can still affect those around her if not *in* her bubble of effect.

STRANGER

Tatum is not from this world. Heck, on this world, she was never even born! As such, people she knows have no clue or memory of her and trying to get a credit card or drivers license is next to impossible.

SUGAR RUSH

Due to the experiments that gave Tatum her powers, she has a physical dependence on sugar. When her blood sugar levels are human normal, she becomes highly suggestable as well as losing her sense of compassion and self preservation. This was a side effect implemented by Hydra in the experiment to create the perfect soldiers, causing the subjects to take orders and not worry about the repercussions of their actions. When Tatum's blood sugar is high, which is most of the time given her sweet tooth, she has the level of compassion and self preservation that is normal for her. This dependence on a high blood sugar level does not make her immune to a high sugar diet, however and diabetes and tooth decay are definite risk factors for her.
