[edit] Affiliations
Mascha Petrovi is one of the finalists from the popular TV-Show 'Hero Idols'. She won the Ukraine/Russian Hero Idols with flying colors. After that the second season started and she went to compete for the International Hero title in Paragon City, USA.
Cher Nobyl is one of the 'hot' favorites of the show. Her youth enthusiasm and cute looks won a lot of votes during the first two episodes. And chances are high. Still she feels like just another member of the team.
[edit] Personality
Mascha is a fun-loving girl. She can be very serious around her studies and her powers. Like a woman with a goal in life should have. But she stays a young woman of 21. She likes shopping, movies and boys.
Since coming over from Kiev to Paragon City she saw what the world had to offer. She likes the diversity and feels that she should travel more, see the sights.
[edit] Motivation
Her mutation came from the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, Ukraine... back in 1986. Her mother died while giving childbirth and somehow Mascha always felt a bit guilty. Becoming a hero is her way to do something back. Of course seeing so many new places around the world as part of Hero Idols doesn't hurt either.
She is very glad to being able to represent her country. It had a lot of bad press since the Chernobyl meltdown and she wants to make sure the colors of the Ukraine are known for other things then nuclear disasters or war.

[edit] Nuclear Heat
Cher her body is like a human nuclear reactor she can raise her body temperature to unearthly levels. Even reaching 'meltdown' levels. By concentration she can use this heat to throw fire or melt doors.
[edit] Heated Air
Cher learned that she is able to heat up the very air directly around her in such a way the air layers are shimmering. Making it hard to see whats behind and if so... distord the image immensly. Combined with her Accelerated Metabolism moving at high speeds she can be very hard to see.
[edit] Radiation
Being a human nuclear reactor makes her body forming radioactive particles all the time. Cher can control this productions to a conscious level. Able to emit the radiation in forms not known to science yet. As such she can use it to irradiate targets at will, but also to heal or mutate if she wants too.
[edit] Accelerated Metabolism
Heated molecules and radiation results in Cher being able to speed up her movement and regeneration considerably. From early youth she never got sick. Lately she learned to enhance her run speed to near 85 km/h.
[edit] Touch Epidermus
She is only slighty more touch then a normal human physique. Most likely her outher skin compensated some touchness to be able to keep the nuclear build up within her body contained. Not ujnlike a containment shield of a nuclear reactor.
[edit] Abilities
Mascha started to glow at a very early stage. The orphanage made sure she enlisted at the university of Kiev to start and learn all about radiology she could. Maybe even go through to become a nuclear scientist in time. This to get to know her powers and unique body structure as good as she could.
The Hero Idol competition gave her some training in martial arts and fire arms.
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Cher Nobyl is a young woman who never saw much of the world before coming to the USA. She is still learning English and talks with a heavy Russian accent. She can be tricked as she is very gaullable and sometimes naive.
Although her powers make it possible to melt most things being shot or thrown at her and her skin is slighty more dense then a normal epidermus, she isn't invulnerable.
[edit] Equipment
She can now handle some weapons. As moderate fire arm training was given during past episodes of Hero Idols. Most weaponry she would wield would start melting as soon as she is using her powers though. So some are specially made for her from high heat resistant materials. Still she is not a big fan of fire arms and will not use them unless she couldn't prevent it.
She usually carries a geigercounter for safety as she is still a bit afraid to be a danger to the public. When she entered the International Hero Idols finals she was given a special control suit to keep her enhanced powers better under control.
[edit] Character History
On April 26, 1986, the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, exploded at 01:23 AM local time.
Mascha Petrovi was only a month pregnant... Irradiated she reached the emergency center the Soviet Union had placed. Strangely enough her child was born seemingly healthy... radiation levels where unnatural high in her though. Mascha didn't survive the birth. And the child, a girl, was taken to a nearby orphanage after research had pronounced her safe.
Named after her mother Mascha grew up to be a fine young woman. Over the years there had been some strange occurrences with her though. Some of the kids had noticed that she could emit a green light, and she never got sick... ever. She once burned the hand of a bully too. Knowing where she came from the wards send her to medical school in Kiev at the age of 15, where she started her education for radiologist and she herself could be under constant surveillance. Nicknamed 'Cher Nobyl' she was obviously a mutant. Her latent powers involved nuclear fire and radiation.
The semi-finals for Hero Idol in the Ukraine were a chance for her to show that you could be a hero even with rudimentary powers like this. She won with flying colors.
The challenge for International Hero Idol was much harder. After becoming one of the finalists, their scientists made her a special suit to help her control her abilities while at the same time increasing her potential.
