Face Claim: Helena Hlucha

"I’m not interested in making new friends,
I don’t even like the ones I have”

Likes: Hether's turn-ons are fine dining, spa treatments, singing, dancing and art.

Dislikes: Hether's primary turn-offs are stalking, obsession, stupidity, weakness and failure.

Personality: Hether is selfish, self-centered, and incredibly vain. She is adept at using social influence and psychological manipulation to her advantage, and very persuasive. She has strong public relations and media manipulation skills. She is even capable of crowd control and manipulation. She is vastly intelligent. She is highly romantic, expressing intimacy even with strangers.

Hether is best described as morally ambiguous. She can be as good or bad as the situation requires it. In the business world, she tends to present herself as a charismatic businesswoman, all the while manipulating others with her mutation. She is often selfish and self-centered. However, she commits to numerous charities. She primarily does this to boost her image, though she is still quite generous.

Hether's interests largely revolve around herself, due to her selfish nature. She enjoys fine dining, spa treatments and other pleasures. She has a great love of music and dance, as well as an appreciation of art. Hether's primary concern is that someone may develop an obsession with her as a result of an overdose from her mutation. This fear or concern has been realized in the past, and she has had a number of stalkers.

"With great power comes great responsibility"

Powers: Hether's primary mutant power is the passive ability to infect others with pair-bonding hormones dubbed caritocin (for the Latin word for charity and the hormone oxytocin). Among the scientific community, caritocin would be considered an unknown and unique hormone similar to oxytocin, and likely be mistaken for it. Caritocin makes Hether seem highly charismatic to others, possibly by interacting with gamma activity in the prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain responsible for positive emotions), inspiring (but not forcing) positive feelings toward her.

Caritocin is secreted through her pores, forming an invisible cloud around her. In an open-air environment, the hormones occupy a space roughly between a house and an apartment building. Any further away than that, and the hormones will have dissipated too much in the air to affect anyone. These hormones can be inhaled, ingested or injected. Prolonged or frequent exposure and influence from Heather can intensify the effects of caritocin. It is possible for a victim to experience symptoms of an addiction, such as dependence or withdrawal, but a victim cannot build up a tolerance to caritocin.

Caritocin helps to facilitate all forms of human bonding between Hether and her victims. Most noticeably, it heavily influences interpersonal attraction. While it does not make her any more physically attractive, the caritocin infecting her victims will make her much more appealing to them, especially in a romantic sense. Caritocin also promotes friendship and/or cooperation in men and friendship, attachment, and cooperation in women. It can inspire a mother-child bond in those much younger than Hether, and she may be seen in the same light as an older or younger sibling to those close to her age.

Caritocin promotes the bonding process, but does not decide what bond is formed and does not form the bond itself; that is up to Heather. This means that a bond is not formed instantly, but develops over a very short period of time (usually in just a matter of minutes) based on Hether's input through body language and dialogue. She can form a more intimate relationship with her victim by flirting or showing strong positive feelings such as kindness or compassion, inspiring romantic feelings or extremely strong interpersonal ties with the right input. Without significant input from Hether, the bond reaches a temporary plateau of friendship or follower until more input is added.

Caritocin does not force a bond to form, nor does it unrealistically manipulate the feelings of her victims. In a role-playing scenario, over the course of a few posts when carrying on a conversation with Hether, the victim might become attracted to Heather in a romantic sense or have come to like or admire her. Several posts in, a variation of love-at-first-sight may have formed, or a strong friendship may have been created. Rarely does a victim not at least regard her with interest.


Weapons N/A


Strengths/Abilities: Hether possesses a passive mutation, not requiring activation. It is not a visible mutation; she cannot be readily identified as a mutant. Her mutation can be used to gain influence and establish friendships, or to deter enemies. Hether is a talented enough dancer and singer to have made a career out of either. Most notable is her skill in performing cabaret acts.


Weaknesses: The effectiveness of caritocin is not guaranteed, varying drastically from one victim to the next. How much or how little PC or NPC victims are affected is determined by the player controlling the victim. One victim could show very little influence of caritocin, while another could become dangerously obsessed with her. Caritocin has little to no effect on extraterrestrials, and no effect on machines. Hether has no way of controlling her mutation, constantly at risk of creating stalkers or obsessive love interests (made all the more dangerous with mutant victims).

"All it takes is one bad day to reduce
the sanest man alive to lunacy,"

History: Hether "Crave" Vlkodlaková was born in Bratislava, Region of Bratislava, Slovakia to wealthy politician Daniel Vlkodlak and his wife Alice Vlkodlaková. Her unusual name of Hether (as opposed to traditional Czech personal names) was chosen for her by a friend of her parents when she was born. She led a cultured life, spoiled pershaps more than would be expected.

Her mutation manifested at age 14, and completely changed all of her relationships. Her parents started paying more attention to her, she gained friends more easily, was never bullied, and had more boys after her than she could handle. It wasn't until she became aware of the existence of mutants that she realized she was one herself. Gradually, she came to view all of her friendships and even her relationship with her parents as fabrications, a result of her mutation, and thus not genuine.

Over time, Hether unwittingly developed a form of psychopathy to deal with her feelings. She became increasingly manipulative the more disillusioned she was toward all of her established relationships. She used her friends and had her parents spoil her. In college, she majored in business, intending to start her own business in the future.

Starting her own perfume company was easy. She had a friend who had the dream of starting her own perfume company, but no resources or business sense. Of course, Hether was perfectly suited to run the company for her. Naturally, her friend agreed to let Hether start the company and run it for her. Hether would be the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and her friend would be the Chief Creative Officer (CCO), with both of them as Founders and Co-Owners.

Hether named it Cravings, after the description a boyfriend had given her of his feelings toward her. He had described his feelings as a longing, or craving, when she was near that only grew stronger when she was around. He eventually started to stalk her, leading to the revelation that her mutation could cause an addition in those who were close to her.

Originally, she planned for Cravings to be a front for her criminal activities. Hether had a number of ideas for various financial crimes, and even went through with some of her cons. However, over time she became more interested in her business. Over a decade into the business, Hether is still the President of Cravings, but no longer CEO. Instead, she is the Chief Brand Officer (CBO). She became a business magnate and now lives in New York City, New York, USA.

She gained notoriety due to her extravagant lifestyle, outspoken manner, and a guest appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show which garnered her significant media attention and sparked a multitude of subsequent interviews on other talk shows. She has been described by the media as having the looks of Angelina Jolie and the business sense of Donald Trump.

As CBO, Hether has used her exposure to boost the image of her company, which won the 2011 FiFi Awards for Women's Fragrance of the Year in the categories of Broad Appeal (Popular Appeal), Nouveau Niche and Luxe. The winning fragrances were the first in a line of fragrances containing modified caritocin, the hormone produced by Hether's mutation.

Only the Chief Science Officer (CSO) of Cravings and a few key employees in the Research and Development division of the company know that Hether is a mutant. In the public eye and to the rest of the company, oxytocin is the hormone used in its fragrances.

rebuild this place outta Lego."

Writing Sample:

Clack, clack, clack, clack...

A pair of sleek black four-inch heels strode across the hardwood floor of the high-rise building complex. The sound of her heels drew the attention of a security camera. It immediately went to her feet, before traveling up her slender legs and across her velvety skin. She was clothed... just barely. She wore matching black lace bra and panties. Over this, she wore a genuine dark black-brown fur coat, made of imitation wolf fur. It matched her hair, which was contained in a devil-may-care ponytail.

The snap of her fingers drew caused the camera to pan away from her body and attire to her hand, and she pointed to her face. Dark brown eyes watched the camera. She raised one eyebrow at the camera as her lips formed a smirk. Hether shifted her attention to the end of the corridor, where a receptionist lie in wait at her lavish desk. She strode forth, intent on making the appointment with her business associate.

A thick, heavy shadow suddenly descended upon the opposite end of the hallway, from where she had come. Despite being unable to see it, Hether suddenly turned... but the shadow was gone. She grimaced, savvy enough to know when something was about to happen.
