Background

Rebecca Nakano is a native New Yorker who was affected most deeply by the 'Bombing of NY'. Growing up in the modest side of town, the Japanese American child saw her parents prosper, starting out in a single bedroom apartment to owning a 'mansion' in Manhattan. Her father started a .com company that exploded onto the scene and made them a millionaire in only a few short years. By the time Rebecca was ready to enter High School, she was moved from public to private schools, the very best money could buy.

She seemed to have a natural knack for puzzles. Her friends and family alike were impressed by her aptitude for solving them, though there was some annoyance when they were stuck on a particular puzzle and she came along and solved it seemingly without effort. As a baby she could place the round peg into the round hole, then she moved up to larger puzzles. They even found she could solve every day mysteries like finding lost keys or a missing puppy. As she grew into high school, the puzzles became harder, but Becca relished in solving the nearly impossible. This doesn't mean she was good at academics. If there was a definite unwavering answer, she would solve it. If it required opinion or speculation, then she had issues. Term papers were hard for her. She dealt in facts rather than opinions.

Her school aptitude test showed her having skills in science and math. She'd always been interested in solving stuff, so becoming a cop would fit that. However, she was never the most athletically gifted person, so she began to take self defense classes. However, she didn't feel that gave her enough of a knowledge base and when that class was over, immediately signed up for judo lessons. When she graduated college with a degree in Forensic Science, she was very content with her life. She was ready to go out and live her life to the fullest. Then there was the bomb.

Her father's .com company was located near the center of the blast, and it was demolished. All the servers, research and development gone. Her father lost everything, having to sell their large house for a more modest one in another part of the country. However, by this time she was living on her own. Being more of a nerdy type, she hid behind large rimmed glasses, and most only seeing her as someone smart, instead of the natural beauty she exhibits inside.

She took a position with the NYPD as a forensic investigator. She has solved a number of cases already, having used her natural knack for solving to put away several low level criminals. She's still mostly unknown, though her more recent cases solved have gained her some attention within the department and she's been told she may be brought into more high profile cases as an investigator and analyst. She's just recently recertified in both Forensics Investigations and Analysis for the state of NY.

However, a wrench was thrown into her plans when shortly after testing for Law Enforcement was made mandator, she tested to a positive result. After having several visions, she finally went to be tested and was determined to be Post-Cognative.

Psych Profile

• Rebecca definitely has a mind of her own, however, she can be passive in her dealings with others. However, this doesn't mean that she always does what she's told. She'll typically do what she can to get what she wants and still getting others what they need. She has no qualms with the departments new focus on the evolved, in fact, it fits right in to her overall bias of the group as a whole.
• She is easily pushed around. She takes her orders and acts on them without much hesitation. Doesn't mean she won't question something, but it doesn't take a heck of a lot to get her to act. Of course, this is an underlying fear of getting caught making sure the evidence 'tells the truth.'
• She tends to go overboard using large words. She'll have to be stopped and asked to rephrase in simpler terms in order for the majority to understand. It's not the fact that she likes to show that she's smart, but it's more that she's used to speaking like this and she assumes everyone knows what she's talking about.
• She knows how smart she is, but she doesn't flaunt it. Even when she succeeds at something, she ensures that all involved share in the credit. She is very self sacrificing, taking as minimal accolades as possible. There's also the fact that she likes to slide under the radar.

Evolved Ability

• Reflective Trigger: Rebecca's visions come through the form of a reflective surface. Any surface that holds a reflection will hold Becca's precog episode. Metal, mirror, water/liquids, glass. If the reflective surface is distorted, so will the vision be.
• Area Limitation: The post cog episode will take place in the same location visible in the reflection. Meaning, the same room. For example: She's in the woods and comes across a lake. The mountains are reflected on the lake. It's winter and snow is on the mountains, however it could be last spring being reflected off the lake, hence no snow topped mountains. A mirror in a room would reflect a past scene that took place inside that room.
• Time limitation: Rebecca cannot see anything in her visions that precedes her birth. As far as the way the vision is presented. There is no stop time-have the vision-start time again The vision is played real time, and is shown while everything else is going on around her.
• Conscious Control: Currently, Rebecca has no control over when she has a vision, or how far back the vision goes. Most of her first visions have been random in nature and of no use for her. They just happened.
