POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Possession Xi'an has the ability to take over the minds of human beings and animals. She must be within 2 APs for the initial possession but may extend her range up to a half-mile (9 APs) after that. This still requires an action check using the APs of Personality Transfer as the AV/EV and the opponent's Will/Mind as the OV/RV. RAPs equal to or exceeding the target's Mind indicates that the possession has succeeded. The victim's mind goes blank during the possession.
When she possesses other people, Karma's body remains immobile, but she retains possession of it and may act in both her and the possessed body by making an Action Check using her Will/Will as AV/EV versus an OV/RV of her Will/Will. Her mind automatically returns to her own body if it is damaged.
Damage to the possessed body also affects her. If the possessed body is reduced to 1 Current Body, is killed, or rendered unconscious, she immediately returns to her own body, shaken, groggy, and unable to perform any actions for a full Phase.
Her mental control of a possessed body is absolute, but during the first ten Phases, all attempts to use the body are at - 1CS. After the tenth phase, she may use the body normally. Every half hour a victim of her Personality Transfer can subconsciously combat by making an Action Check using their Will/Will as the AV/EV against an OV/RV equal to Xi'an's Personality Transfer Power. She is not allowed to expend hero points on this OV/RV. If the victim's cumulative RAP's exceed Xi'an's APs of Personality Transfer, she is forced out of the victim's body.
After 24 hours, Xi'an must make an ability check using the victim's Int/Will as the AV/EV versus an OV/RV of her own Will/Will. Positive RAPs will see the victim's personality start to overwhelm her own (or she must abandon the victim's mind).
Karma may possess more than one person as time and can manipulate them simultaneously, but it is not easy (Action Check using her Will/Will as AV/Ev vs. an OV/RV of her APs of Personality Transfer)
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Karma is a determined young woman who has experienced more than her share of tragedy. She is self-sufficient, preferring not to burden her friends with her troubles. Karma is mature and level-headed but can be very vicious and deadly when she is enraged or when her back is against a wall.

Exusiai's Notes So, Karma is Jericho on CRACK. I went back and forth on how to write this her ability up. Is it Control? Is it Personality Transfer? Is it Real or is it Memorex? Eventually, I went with Personality Transfer due to the repeated use of the word possession in the FASERIP write up. the details in the "Possession" section above are almost word for word from that book, with the mechanics changed to DC Heroes Mechanics. Also, I tried to find a better picture than a gratuitous ass shot, but I really couldn't.
