I) Physical description: Natalie is nearing (and eagerly awaiting) her fourteenth birthday. She’s Caucasian with blue eyes, medium-length blond hair, and an athletic build. Clearly not done growing yet, she’s about average height for her age and about average weight for her age and activity level. Her clothing choices tend toward athletic clothes or jeans and T-shirts, and she always wears a charm bracelet on her left wrist.
J) Abilities: -Pym Particles: Capable of growing to giant size or shrinking down to insect size. Prefers the latter. -Intelligent: She’s not a genius, but she’s in a couple of advanced classes. -Mechanical Aptitude: Very good at taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and reassembling them. She can sometimes cobble things together Frankenstein’s Monster-style, but they don’t look pretty and they will fall apart eventually – hopefully after they’ve done what she needed them to do. -Computer Hacking: Still new to it, but learning everything she can as fast as she can. -Being Sneaky: With or without the Pym particles, she’s pretty good at not getting caught poking around places she shouldn’t be. -Always Armed: That charm bracelet she always wears around her wrist? Actually has a GPS on it, and at most of the other “charms” are little spy-bots. She also carries a pocket knife. -Filched Tech: Has ready access to the labs of Cassandra Lang, Victor Mancha, Chase Stein, and Hank Pym, among others. Has smuggled some abandoned projects back to her room to work on. -Hand-to-Hand Combat: Has some training, as is only practical when one is the child of super heroes.
K) Weaknesses and flaws: -Arrogant: Is cocky and sometimes thinks she knows more than she really does. She also tends to assume she’s safe while behind a keyboard. -Heavy Reliance on Tech: Even when there are other ways to do something, possibly even ways to do it better and faster, she defaults to teching it up. -Think Small: Unaccustomed to using the Pym Particles to grow to giant size and thus tends to get in the way more often than not when grown. -Guinea Pig: Has no problem using herself in experiments with new technology. She also harbors ambitions ofbecoming a cyborg.
L) Base of operations: This is on here twice? M) Alignment (villain, hero etc): Hero
N) Relatives (living or dead): Scott Lang (grandfather, dead), Peggy Rae Burdick (grandmother, estranged), Victor Stein (biological grandfather, dead), Janet Stein (biological grandmother, dead), Cassie Lang (mother), Jonas Lang (father), Chase Stein (sperm-donor and beloved uncle), Victor Mancha (great/uncle), Nathaniel Richards (very scary uncle, Schrodingering), Vision I (uncle/grandfather), Ultron (great/great grandfather, Schrodingering)
Backstory: As demonstrated by the shenanigans involving Billy and Tommy, it’s really damn hard to conceive a baby with a synthetic human. And people are generally reluctant to let a super hero couple adopt. Fortunately, Chase Stein is a very good friend (“You want to borrow a cup of my what?”), and less than a year later, Natalie Imogene Lang is born. She had a concerning heart-murmur at birth, but it disappeared within a couple of days – not that it has stopped her parents from worrying about it.
As neither of her parents have particularly “secret” identities, Natalie has grown up essentially as a third-generation super hero on both sides. Her family has made it clear to her that she can do whatever she wants with her life, and she’s been quick to assure them that she has every intention of doing so. Like her mother before her, she’s filched herself Pym Particles regularly over the years and had already triggered her size-changing abilities by age twelve. She also enjoys reading up on the latest technology – that is, when she’s not tinkering around with said technology in the labs of the scientists she knows!
While she’s not yet old enough to officially begin her training as a Young Avenger, she’s eagerly awaiting that birthday and working toward her intended position on the team by practicing computer-hacking and with the technology she has available to her.
O) Sample Post: Natalie tilts her chin up, staring somewhat cross-eyed at her reflection in the mirror as she tries to find the right spot on her neck for the small “temporary tattoo” in her hand. It’s not really a temporary tattoo, but instead one of the “epidermal electronics” that her mother’s been working on. This one should (in theory) let her control one of her little spybots with her voice instead of her computer. And if she puts it in the right place, she can hide it under a scarf or something – which reminds her, she’ll have to start wearing more scarves.
She’s sure that most girls her age aren’t planning their wardrobes around disguising super-advanced technology on their person. But then, most girls her age aren’t nearly as awesome as she is.
Holding the not-tattoo in place with her fingers, Natalie licks the other thumb and swipes the digit over the sheet to dissolve the water-soluble coating so that it’ll stick to her skin. She’d like to think that she can feel the tingle as the wires make their connection, but it’s probably just wishful thinking. She goes through the motions of washing her hands before she leaves the bathroom and heads back to her room, just in case someone’s paying attention. Once she gets back to her room, she settles down behind her computer, which is positioned so that the screen can’t be seen by anyone coming in the door, and opens up a minimized window. Immediately she sees her room from the perspective of the knuckle-sized robot sitting on her desk.
“Ugh, that zit looks huge!” she says, leaning forward to look at her screen, which of course changes her little buggy’s view of the Huge Zit of Horror she’s just noticed. Still, ewwwww.
But down to business. She is more than gratified to discover that the little electronic patch on her neck does everything it was promised to do. Her buggy takes flight at her command and circles the room a couple times, landing on walls and crawling the practice course just as easily as if she was using her computer to issue the commands. Unfortunately when she opens the door to start testing the range of her control, it’s just in time to find her mother there, poised to knock.
“Dinner’s going to be ready in about ten minutes,” her mother says, lowering her hand. “Time to come and set the table.” She frowns and leans forward, reaching out toward Natalie’s chin. “What’s that on your neck?”
Natalie steps back and covers the spot with her hand, thinking fast. If her mom finds out she’s filched this, she’ll definitely take it away, and Natalie’s not done experimenting with it yet.
“Uh, grease, I think,” she says, making a show of inspecting her (not greasy at all) fingers. “I was helping Uncle Chase out today, I guess I didn’t clean up as well as I thought I did. I’ll go wash and set the table.” Cue charming, guileless smile. Buy it buy it buy it buy it…
Her mother looks at her funny for a moment, then shrugs and turns away. “All right, sweetie.” Yes! Natalie zips out of her room and toward to bathroom, so she can “wash up” (AKA “find Mom’s concealer”), and doesn’t hear her mother say under her breath, “I really need to remember to lock up my projects when she’s around...”
