I Read Vibrations

Is that [Lauren Ridloff]? No, that’s [Makkari], AKA [Makkari/Hurricane] from [Marvel Universe]! [She] appears to be [30/ageless]. [She] has/have the abilities of [ Eternal Physiology, Cosmic Speed Manipulation] which makes them a powerful [Hero].

Name: Makkari but has been called Hurricane in the past given her powers.

Age: She loves the term ageless and throws that around a lot but she looks around 30.

Powers:

Makkari is a member of a community of the genetically-engineered Eternals, created at the World Forge by the Celestials, who came to Earth in 5,000 B.C. to help progress Earth's societal development and protect it from the Deviants. In Ancient Mesopotamia, she developed an affinity towards Druig and the Humans alike. In 1529 A.D., after completing her prime goal of defeating the Deviants, she and the other Eternals decided to disband and separate. Makkari decided to relocate to the Domo (their ship), buried under Iraq, where she started her goal to explore the Earth and collect various objects and artifacts.

Eternal Physiology

Cosmic Energy Manipulation

Regenerative Healing Factor

Superhuman Speed

Extreme Force Generation

Shockwave Generation

Superhuman Leaping

Teleportation -  very uncomfortable and draining for an eternal

Makkari is deaf, and used to in the old days rely heavily on Sign language and her family translating for her. But once they went their separate ways she grew with the times and started using a speaking app on her smartphone. It makes things faster and easier for those she wishes to commutate with. 

Makkari is a very kind person, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone given her love for humanity. She also very much misses her family, part of what pulled her away from their ship and her home for last couple centauries was Ajay’s attempted at pulling them together. She’d known this meeting wouldn’t have been well received by all but it was still nice to see everyone. Makkari has found herself in Gotham simply to see the place that so many talk about also to keep an eye on Druig given his rather closed off personality to everyone.

Heart racing like that of a rabbit on a wild hunt on the inside, mind in complete and utter disarray on his mood prior to Makkari, it was all focused on her. Just her. Nothing else. “Millenniums to be exact,” Druig said, signing smugly. It has been clear Druig’s stand point on modern day technology, countless debates with Phastos whether it is harmful for the humans to continue down the path of advancing their technical minds when they barely understand their own minds. In the grand scheme of things, cell phones have a purpose he has seen - such for those whom can’t communicate easily, children walking home from school and being stranded in the middle of nowhere but damn he’d refused to admit it out loud. Only the beginnings of a nod in her direction. “Ye know where I stand on these thin’s, beautiful. When ye put it that way, I guess, ye right.” He said, unamused. His face lit up though at being her translator. “M’lady, ye welcome to use me anytime ye please.” He said, smirk forming on his lips. Hand laying over the place she had just nudge, cheeky rub as if it hurt him. “Not like I had much of a choice in the destination, Ajax wants an eye on the retired Avengers squad - soon they’ll be in nursing homes.” He scoffed, jabbing at them whenever they could. However, he respects their heroics to himself as they have done good. “Ye do in that case…” He said, hint of mischief. Lightly, cautiously grabbing onto her waist and bring her against him. “Looks like I got ye. No, reward greater then ye, my beautiful Makkari.” He smiled down upon her, chuckle draw him back from continuing to lean in to her. When his own eyes fluttered open again, how could he not be tempted by her lips, only automatic response was licking his lips - as he always did being this close to her. His grip on her hip, tightened out of fear she’d disappear before his eyes. He was made for Makkari.  “Don’t lie because I’ll know,” Druig tapped his finger against her temple, trailing the finger lightly along her dove-like jaw only dropping it from her chin. “Ye hurt me so. Merely h’re for a pretty coloured tablet, huh?” 

.

Makkari could feel each beat of his heart through the vibrations radiating off him, something over the years she’d become very attuned with. ‘Leave the them alone they aren’t all bad Druig, you raised a few in your little village’ she teased him knowing that the other was never really a fan of technology by any means. He was one of the few of them that loved a much simpler time even though his village had shown that deep within the Amazon Forest hidden away from the world and all its people. ‘You know I am right and you’ll let me use my phone whenever I wish won’t you grumpy bear?’ she teased him knowing that without her family at times she really could be voiceless when it came down to it. That never stopped her though, learning all she could about human history through the books and artifacts she’d come across, ‘Am I really? Careful I may abuse that privilege if you aren’t careful’ she signed before rolling her eyes at the male leave it up to him to hate an assignment from Ajak’s ‘or maybe she wants you to take to humanity once again instead of shutting the world away like last time, maybe learn a little human compassion’ she mused knowing the other wasn’t one to really take them as much as others did here during their time. Feeling him brought her closer making the smile on her lips stretch wider as there were few in their little makeshift family who could understand the complex person Druig really was. ‘You know I could easily break free, it's my choice to remain here’ she signed to him before there was a laughter to her smile before taking on an innocent look. ‘Lying I would never, it just isn’t one of my skills Druig’ she paused before signing once again ‘It will go with the rest of my collection, but I suppose I could be here for the company as well’ she relented smirking slightly.

Barry smiled a little as she spoke. “Not as much as i would like,” he admitted. “I picked up some working with other scientists back in the day.” He signed the words he knew – working, scientists – and smiled sheepishly. “I’d love to learn more. It’s such a beautiful language.” He smiled again and shook his head. “No, not at all, I promise,” he said, signing the word promise. “I haven’t been to the museum here yet, I’d love to go. If you don’t mind, I mean.”

.

Makkari smiled softly nodding her head ,she understood not many took up that language much anymore. ‘You picked it up well it's better than most’ she signed giving him a soft chuckle at his words she had no problem teaching him more if he liked. ‘I could teach you so much if you’d like? I always find that starting with little words you use everyday makes it easier.’ she offered before nodding her head ‘I wouldn’t mind the company it would be nice not to go alone actually, My name is Makkari, figured we should be on a first name basis since we are going to spend some time together’ she typed in her phone for the other to hear.

“I’ve definitely heard some pretty insane stories about this place, that’s for sure.” Lara laughed, though it was a bit of a harsh sound. She had never really liked cities–Metropolis was big and noisy and Gotham was like it lived at the bottom of a dark pit, swirling with monsters. She preferred swooping in to save the day and then swooping back out to the Kent farm. Her safe place. “It’s really nice to meet you, Makkari. Am I saying that right? Sometimes phones can have strange pronunciation.” 

.

Makkari nodded her head, this place was quite crazy from what she’d seen since moving here, things were always going off regardless of the time or place she’d come across. ‘That is very true, it’s one of the more exciting places I’ve lived to be honest’ she typed out before offering the other a smile even going the extra mile to sign out her name. ‘Ma car ee,  and you are right the phone destroyed my name with their way of speaking but not many people know sign these days. Thank you for asking, that is very kind of you.’

Lucius glanced up from the email he was reading from his phone, a slight smile touching his lips. He slipped his own phone into pocket and signed back to her. Sign language was a form of communication that he was fluent in. It’s no bother at all, he promised her, signing back. I frequent the museum myself, it’s one of my favorite places in Gotham. I can take you there if you wouldn’t mind the company?

.

Makkari looked at the other as she pulled his attention from his own phone finding that he knew sign language was a very happy surprise after all it was something the kids called a dead language at this point and time. She also slipped her phone away smiling  softly before signing back to him. ‘Thank you for being so understanding’ she mused before nodding her head ‘I wouldn’t mind company at all, after all if it happens to be one of your favorite places maybe you can give me a bit of a tour there?’ She signed back excitedly.

They felt the force of the van rock, not tip just teeter totter on the suspension of the vehicle, readying himself as much as he possibly could in the given situation. Charles’ moved on the metal bench as far as the restraints will allow him, using his elbow to wedge Jones’ behind him as an attempt to protect the boy with himself if it truly came down to it. Blood ribboned eyes leering at the opening, waiting for someone to appear out of the back lit glow from the park lights when not long after a woman appeared there, on sheer instinct Charles had trust in the woman, before she used her phone to speak. Friendly not a foe. “Please,” Charles said out loud to her and clearly pronouncing as always. Retreating a bit from Jones’ body, revealing the boy looked just as petrified as he did beforehand. 

.

Makkari looked between the two and she could see the terror in their eyes which was completely understandable given what she’d just saved them from. She hardly minded looking out for people in small moments like this. She offered him a kind smile, sliding her phone into her pocket so she could use her hands to gently untie the other’s hands, taking off the blindfolds and such. She once again pulled out her phone to type a message ‘I tied up and knocked out those who had taken you, I’m not quite sure how far you are from your place but I can try and get you both back home’ she offered kindly.

Oswald had a minimal knowledge of sign language left over form when Martin lied with him. Certainly not enough to be fluent by any means, but enough to get him by. Of course, that plan had to be quickly changed when his life was in danger, and Martin was better off outside of Gotham, and then Oswald had to go to prison-. 

Oswald was annoyed when he was tapped on his shoulder, but his face softened when he saw the message on the phone. His hands fumbled a bit as he hooked the curved part of his cane over his wrist, trying to recall as much of the language as he could. ‘Down the street. To the right.” He said with the warmest smile he could muster.

.

Makkari could tell the male wasn’t happy at the distraction but his eyes seemed to soften when he took notice of her message on the phone. She wondered who he knew that caused such a reaction but she knew better than to ask it was already pushing it asking for directions. She couldn’t hide her smile when she noticed he knew a bit of sign language which was amazing in truth not many people did anymore.

‘Thank you so much you are very kind, if you are heading that way I see a Cafe, on the way I could buy you a drink as a thank you?’ she signed, figuring that she might as well chance the ask to see if she could thank the male.

When Theo was seven he met a girl named Drina. She was half deaf and no one gave a proper shit. Because she wasn’t fully deaf they hadn’t bothered to give her proper accommodations to account for her loss of hearing. Instead they discarded as a kid with bad hearing but hearing nonetheless. They were shitheads about it, pretty much (shocking, right?). Theo had only been place with her for a month and three weeks but they had gotten along very well. She had begun to teach him sign language and he had liked it too, it was nice having a language no one else knew when everyone else was being loud and annoying. So, once he was out of the system (re: left) he took up some reading and tried to account for all the knowledge Drina hadn’t had the chance to teach him. Don’t worry about it, he signed in return. It was smart of her to have her message pad on her though, Drina hadn’t been that lucky. He hoped that wherever she was now, she had one. He signed once more. What do they look like?

.

Makkari had to admit it was nice to see some people in this city who held a little knowledge of sign language, back when she’d first arrived she strived to teach it to plenty of people so that she could communicate without always needing someone near but as time went on more and more things tended to be laid to waste side. She gave him a soft smile looking at him as he signed a bit You are very sweet, thank you She signed back before moving to show the other the little map app she’d been using to try to get to her friend's house. She pulled up a split-screen so she could also type. I have directions but I have to look down inside of paying attention, do you think you could help me?

Barry looked around as he felt the light tap on his shoulder, offering her a smile. “Oh, hi,” he said, with a little wave. He’d picked up some sign language working with some deaf or hard of hearing scientists over the years – he was by no means fluent, but he knew enough to carry on a decent conversation. “Hey, it’s no bother,” he said, signing as he spoke. “It’s actually not too far. I’m headed in that direction. I could walk you if you’d like?”

.

Makkari looked at the other glad he seemed to take kindly to her question instead of being brushed off and yelled at. She was also surprised to see he knew a little sign on top of knowing that he spoke and signed what little he could. You a know a little sign? She signed back to him before typing the rest on her phone smiling and nodding her head if you are sure I’m not pulling you from something?

Lara was surprised for a moment when the woman used her phone to talk. “Thank you,” She said and smiled back. “I appreciate good people more than you know.” Lara looked at the phone again and back at the woman. Curiosity burned in her chest, but she was polite enough not to ask. Growing up on a Kansas farm did that. “My name is Lara, by the way.” She said.

.

Makkari offered the other a soft smile as she stood waiting for her, she didn’t want anything bad to happen while she wasn’t at her best. She typed once again in her phone I can get behind that statement, I’m rather new to Gotham but even I can tell not everyone is super kind. She looked at the other before typing once again Nice to meet you, Lara, I’m Makkari

          clint was sipping on his coffee as he kept an eye on the shop front across the street. it had been suspected that drugs were being run out of the shop and he’d been assigned to determine if it was true or not. lucky was asleep at his feet, already bored with having to be in the same place for so long. feeling the tap on his shoulder, the archer turned and looked up at the woman before nodding. “yeah, it’s like two blocks that way.” he signed as he spoke “if you get to bat burger then you went too far.”

Makkari preferred asking others for directions so her face wasn’t lost in her phone, it was a new city and she wanted  to explore also it was nice meeting new people they always had a way of surprising her. Like the the male who  signed as he spoke giving her the answer she couldn’t contain her joy at seeing someone else who knew how to sign. Thank you so much! and you sign as well? that’s amazing its so rare to see now a days, I hope you don’t mind my excitement. She signed happily before taking notice of the dog at his feet. Ahh he is so cute what’s their name?

The youngest resident of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters (in Gotham) that is, Jones, the mutant whom never sleeps and with a bat of his eyelashes controls electronics around him… However, he’s still learning to focus his control which means whatever room he’s in glitches though Charles’ was designing a special room for him - for him to have some peace. The telepath found every night, he’d spend down in the front room of the manor with Jones, channel surfing the wave with him and eating over sugary cereal, the ginger feline curled around the boy’s abdomen. The night started out like any other night in the manor, every within the walls asleep or for the older ones out with friends, having played a few games of Charles with Erik before the other turned in for the night and like clockwork he was down in the front room with Jones, blinking away whilst pouring milk over two bowls of cereal. 

That’s all the telepath remembers before everything went black, next thing he’s in a back of van with a collar around his neck and weight pressed against his side by Jones, pressing his face against his upper arm, muffled whimpers - that Charles could barely hear himself. “I’m-sorry-I-can’t-get-them-to-malfunction.” What was worse is that Charles couldn’t even comfort the boy due to his wrist bound in weighted metal, the stupid thing is his ankles are bound as well. “It’ll be okay, Jones.” He lied, not believing his own words. The back of the van was still open which meant one of two things, someone opened it to save them or much worse that the two mutants won’t be alone. And it was on that thought that the alarms of the manor screamed through the night’s air, safeguard of Jones not channel surfing or glitching out. “Good boy, Jones.” He breathed out, grateful that Jones remembered to set his detector. 

Not long from the alarms claim the silence of the night, there was noises from outside and Charles shifted in his restraints when they got closer still out of sight but Charles was trying to shield Jones, not sure whether a friendly or foe. “Who goes there?” He called out, over the top of Jones’ head to not be direct in his eardrums. The young mutant’s cries of distraught could be heard. “Please, he’s just a child.” Charles’ plead muffled by Jones’ sobs, one of the van door shutting into place.

Makkari had over the years adapted with the times there was no denying that and much like others within her Eternal family she’d grown a deep love for humanity and hated when bad things happened to them. She’d see everything that happened to the kid and male not at all liking what she was seeing knowing that Ajak’s would probably tell her it was their own problem to work out but she’d always found that there was a heathy mix between offering help and ensuring that they still held their own on this world. So she couldn’t help but using  her super speed to knock out the assailant attempting to hurt the little boy and disabled male. She moved quickly and disarmed everything was safe before she moved towards the van knowing the  other’s would be scared given the roughness they’d handle them. She used her phone to communicate ensuring the others could at least hear something. Its okay, I’m here to help but I need to touch you to remove your restraints do I have permission to do so? She asked hoping the other wouldn’t be too scared at her presence. she only came to help and she didn't like when children where hurt.

It was a bit late for a walk, especially in the likes of Gotham. But his home (his car) was around the corner and he needed some fresh air. What Theo hadn’t expected was for someone to run head first into him, he was quick on his feet to avoid falling down, and making sure they didn’t go down either. “Ey, little late to be running into people isn’t it?” Or maybe the dark was the reason for it, who knew. / @fallengothamstarters​

[ofmakkari]

.

It was late and she was attempting to find her way back to Druig’s place as she looked at her screen trying to follow the directions he’d texted her but the sad fact was that she was too lost within the phone that she’d failed to noticed the slight vibrations of another person as she ran right into him. I’m so sorry she signed immediately before realizing the other may not know sign language as she quickly held up her hand tying a message in. I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention, I’m trying to find my friends place.

[ofsiryn]

Theresa grimaced as she watched someone get thrown out of the bar just ahead of her on the sidewalk. She walked up to the person and gave them a sympathetic smile. “Did ye get too handsy with the bartender or did they cut ye off? Don’t worry, been there before. D’ye need someone to walk with? I could keep ye safe from the streets.” She offered, knowing how it felt to be in their shoes. 

[ofmakkari]

.

Makkari didn’t like being manhandled so she turned around punched the man daring him to put his hands on her again. This city was turning more and more into trash and she hated it especially with how cruel they turned out to be. noticing the woman approaching she felt herself sigh pulling out her phone once again typing a message. They kicked me out because they don’t severe my kind here, as the bartender yelled at me, so I popped him in his closed minded mouth when he attempted to put his hands on me. I can get home safe on my own, but the offer was kind.
