Seneca Thompson is a hero who is a level 30 Water Blast/Electric Manipulation Blaster on Paragon Chat, played by @Tahquitz.

Overview

A young girl who can emit water and electricity from her bare hands. As little as a glass, or as much as a fire hydrant… as little as a 9V discharge, or as much as a Transmission Line’s worth of voltage. Seneca also has the ability to swim underwater with modified gills under her chinline and some resistance to electrical energy.

Full Biography

Seneca Thompson was made in a lab during Project Orion. Initially a Water Blaster, she was tested and found to be unusable for espionage work. As a way to save time instead of making another clone, Gregg Krupp, the Project Manager, pushed for an augment surgery to give her Electrical Powers through a secondary mutation. While able to handle a considerable load of electrical energy, her primary ability is as a Water blaster.

Seneca was resistant to control from the start, however. Even after being 'augmented', she had a difficult time bonding with the others in the project and preferred to keep to herself. At 6 years old, she didn't hold much promise as a prototype or otherwise.

The only sister she was close to was Rebecca, who also was a low performing subject. Eventually, the project was cancelled, so the project manager decided to 'depower' her by placing mental blocks with the abilities of a psychic on staff, then releasing her to foster care. Seneca felt a bond with one or two families, with the second family trying to adopt her, but Gregg ran interference in the process, getting the family kicked out of the Foster Program instead of succeeding. The years of being in and out of homes with no common ground other than Gregg left her with a mostly self-centered disposition. (Why tender friendships when they're all fleeting?)

After 6 years of meandering, Seneca was 're-activated' by Gregg while on her way home from school, meaning her abilities were returned to how they were before the shutdown. She was in his employ at age 14, and has been 'missing' until she was 16, when Paige (formerly Rebecca) called in heroes to rescue them from Crey Corporation's grasp, and to hold Gregg accountable for his past.

Today, Seneca has been reunited with her older sister, and has vowed to return to school to finish her GED, then pursue work as a Hero. It's not going as well as she hoped, as her moral flexibility gets in the way of her committing to the larger tenets of being what Paragon City needs her to be. She also struggles with clinical depression, as being aware of her past fully with no ambition of her own after the revelation makes her unsure of herself. What is going for her: a stronger sense of motivation than her sister, which propels them both forward. Seneca is also quick to her wits, which saves her more often than not, but when it doesn't, her impulsive choices may get the best of her.

Abilities

Seneca is a mutant, as her jawline conceals two gill structures with a direct connection to her blood stream allowing her to breathe underwater. While underwater for an extended period of time, her skin dermal layer has similar properties to dolphin skin, preventing absorption of water through her dermal layer. Her hands contain glands that aid in both hydrogenesis as well as hydrologic shunting across her shoulders to use an existing source of water with one hand and direct it with the second. Her skin throughout her body also contains capacitative dendrites that hold, charge and discharge electricity.

Her most powerful attacks involve a combination of water and electricity. Tilting the scales to more electricity and less water, she can create steam or fog at will. In the opposite direction, her blasts are electrically charged, stunning enemies that are contacted with water. If the stream is significant for both water and electricity, the water serves as a conduit to shock an enemy, but this sustained out-charge can only be maintained for so long.

Her psychic abilities are weak at best. Only telepathy is present with Seneca, allowing her to talk to others without speaking, but she is limited to people in close vicinity.
