The Details

Body Type: A 5'10" classically proportioned bundle of dynamite is what you think of when you see Tabitha Smith. Her flashing blue eyes are the color of sapphires, and her blond hair is a natural strawberry to platinum depending on the season. She has full lips and high cheekbones with a tiny beauty mark on the upper right corner of her top lip

Wardrobe:Tabitha tends to dress on the sexy side of stylish. As a stripper, she tends to go the Gypsy Rose Lee route and leave the audience wanting more. Off stage she's frequently caught in tank tops, shorts, off the shoulder or v-neck sweaters, short skirts or tight jeans. Tabs cleans up nice, she knows how to pull out the bells and whistles when she wants to. And don't get me started on shoes. She claims she will wear 3 inch heels or go barefoot. Tabitha has something along the lines of 200 pairs of shoes as they are her go to purchase when she is depressed since "clothes don't always fit, but yer shoe size don't change once you stop growing."

Costume: yellow Minidress with black X across torso, kne high black stilletto heeled bootd, thick leather belt with various gizmos.
Posture:If sex appeal grew legs and walked, that would be how Tabby moves and presents herself. She has an unnerring aptness to know what you find sexiest and present herself that way. At the same time, there is a touching innocent vulnerability in her blue eyes that makes men want to both sleep with and protect her at the same time.

Personality: Tabitha is a question wrapped in a mystery and bound in an enigma or so she likes to say. She has had a difficult life and doesn’t like to talk about it, but if you’re tenacious enough to actually get her to confide in you, you have earned a friend for life. She is bluntly honest, often to the point of brutality, but never intentionally mean or malicious. Feisty and a bit hot tempered, Tabby can be a handful to get under control when she loses her temper. Especially if she starts counting down or saying "tick tick tick BOOM¨. Tabitha has a good heart, she is just very guarded when it comes to protecting it from being hurt again.

Tabby is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, trying anything once just for the thrill of it . She loves to skydive (it is her passion!) and has taken enough lessons to become jump certified. Next on her list is bunjee jumping, followed by space jumping, followed by spelunking.. The bigger the thrill the more it draws her in. She is very abrasive in her honesty, but also very compassionate and loyal. Tabs is the first to give a shoulder to cry on, as well as the first to punch whomever made you cry in the mouth. She smokes cigarettes when she is stressed, or when someone or something brings up her family.

Tabby once even took a baseball bat to a television screen while the news was on because "It was a stupid story¨ (In reality, her father was being interviewed about the mutant situation claimed his daughter was dead because he was disgusted by Tabitha's revelation of being a mutant.) She can be a bit mercurial in her moods, when Tabby gets depressed it borders on clinical, and she has attempted suicide at least once. On the other hand, when she is on a high (which she usually is), she is effervescent and bubbly like champagne and her mood becomes contagious. She is happiest when the people around her that she loves are happy, and strives to give them the opportunity for joy as much as possible..

Powers and Abilities

Genetic Mutation: Explosion Control: Tabitha is a mutant who has the ability to create concussive blasts in the form of plasma balls that she calls Time Bombs. These bombs explode with an impressive amount of concussive force, and she can create bombs ranging in size and explosive force from small as marbles that make more of a firecracker impact (which she uses primarily for pranks) to the size of beach balls and generating enough concussive force to blast through solid rock, metal, etc. When tested to her peak, Tabby can create the equivalent of a small nuclear blast, minus the radiation. Tabby can control the amount of time between creating a bomb and when it detonates, as well as mentally muffle the sound of detonation.


Tabitha also has some degree of natural immunity to psychic and psionic mind reading and warping due to the unstable molecules in her brain**. (Though if you ask her, she'll say it's because she doesn't have much of a mind to mess with.) The electric pulses between synapses in Tabitha’s brain fire off at irregular intervals, displacing and disjointing the amount of time it takes her brain’s receptors to process the discharge. This gives Tab either a sense of De Ja Vu when someone is trying to probe her mind, or delays her thoughts in an electrically charged shield that feels a lot like a shock when a telepath enters her head. It is also what allows her to control the timing of her bombs, as well as “see” where to set them off to detonate.

Weaknesses:
Tabitha's fear can often get the better of her, especially if you put her in a position where she is not in control of herself. She suffers from panic attacks then, and if the panic gets too intense she will freeze completely, unable to move or even think until the fear has passed. . She also is an insomniac, reliving psychological traumas when she dreams

She also is not all that strong and has absolutely no healing factor, so while she can make things go boom, she'll still be hurt if caught in her own explosion. Or punched in the face, stabbed, shot.. yeah those all hurt pretty bad too. She is skilled as a fighter, but never has had to truly rely on those skills to survive so she is frequently tripping herself up by thinking she can do something “wicked cool” because she saw it in a video game and then falling flat on her ass and injuring herself when she attempts it.

She is incredibly impulsive, acting on instinct, and doesn’t always allow for enough “control” to detonate her time bombs before she’s gotten clear of them, thus causing injury to herself. Tabitha tends to use her powers more to scare people than hurt them, but if she gets emotional and angry enough she had been known to lose control of her ability. Tab has recently become aware that it is possible to re-absorb the energy from her bombs, and is trying to learn how to do that but until she does she is literally a time bomb in herself. She can’t sit still and if does not expend enough energy she might self- ignite. Tabitha also is not one who trusts blindly, but is blindly loyal once you earn her trust. She will never give up on saving someone she cares for, even if they're actions are not in the best of intentions. She always sees the good in people and often feels responsible for those who need to be rescued or saved, often even at the expense of her own health

Learned Abilities: Tabitha is a fairly skilled fighter. Fending for herself for several years she learned basic street fighting and how to fight dirty. She picked up a few more impressive tricks from friends who had studied martial arts seriously and taught self defense. She is an accomplished thief and has a bit of a kleptomaniacal streak in her. She describes her powers as “The mutant ability to blow shit up and steal all your stuff.” She has some access to technological support through contacts/friends. Being incredibly technologically apt, what she can't buy Tabby will steal for parts to assemble the gadget she wants. Like a jetpack. She REALLY wants to build a jetpack, but the damn parts are rare! It's not like they carry jet fuel in Radio Shack! She is sky diving certiifed and tends to take guys spelunking with her on dates (if they can't handle it, they're not worth her time.) Tabs has considered asking Mr. Summers or Professor Xavier if she can teach the jump certification class for students since she loves jumping out of planes so much.




Resources: various whozits and whatzits she has made.

Education: through sophomore year in HS before she ran away.

So why not tell them the Truth Charles?
The History

(tweaked a bit from canon to fit the world better)
Born in Roanoke, Virginia, Tabitha was the only child of Marty and Amanda Smith. She was the reason her parents got married, and according to daddy dearest the reason they got divorced. When she turned eleven, her mother walked out leaving Tabitha in charge of helping her father, as he had been crawling into the bottle for months by then.

There were 8 years between Tabby and Jimmy, the boy next door she babysat for and she adored the little freckled faced boy more than anything else in the world. Two years later, when her powers manifested, it was Jimmy who started calling her Tibby (because he couldn't say Tabby) and then Boom Boom, and Boomerang. He was killed by a drunk driver when he was 5. This event caused Tabitha to throw out her father's liquor. He beat her savagely after that, and she ran away from home.


Tabitha made a bit of a street cred name for herself on her own, going by "Time Bomb". She found she was quite adept at stealing to survive, and while she longed for a normal family life and the comfort and safety of a home she had also learned exactly how deep those wounds would cut if she ever let anyone that close to her again.

Tabitha was living on the street when she met a fellow mutant, a teenage boy who was a pyrokenetic. They became off and on lovers for years, feeding into Tabitha's delusion that she deserves everything she gets. Tabitha didn’t believe in true love, but she did feel very strongly pulled to him and took great pride in being the only person who can make him smile. She loved him in a clearly dysfunctional “sex is how I can express love” way and actually found herself drawn to him like a moth to flame.

Tabitha kept on the run to try and sort out her pain. On the streets and the outs with her boyfriend again, a fellow street rat named Shock took a liking to Tabby, and persued her relentlessly. She made it clear she was not interested, and he and his gang buddies ambushed her . When they were through with her they left her for dead. She was thrown down a well and abused for three weeks before finally being able to blast her way out of the dark, damp prison. Sam Guthrie heard the blast and helped pull Tabitha from the rubble. He became something of a “pillar of goodness” and an anchor for Tabitha, showing her that there was a different and possibly better way to live than what she had known. She began to look at Sam as “the perfect man”. He is her ‘savior’ and her hero; at the same time she doesn’t think she will ever be good enough for him because of the things she has done to survive in her life. Her torch smolders beneath the surface, just waiting for the Kentucky gentleman to convince her that it’s not what you’ve done but how you choose to do what’s next that defines you. Tabitha swore never to be a victim again, and added Shock and his gang to her list of people to blow sky high along with the men who killed Jimmy and even her own father.

All schools have tests.
