Family: Midori Tezlov, (mother: deceased); Nikolai Tezlov, (father: deceased); Mikhail Yuuichi Tezlov, (brother: unknown); Nina Tezlov Beloi, (aunt: alive), Nazar Beloi, (uncle: deceased); Nikita Beloi, (cousin: alive); Olga Tezlov, (grandmother: deceased); Samuil Tezlov, (grandfather: deceased); Yumi Tanaka, (grandmother: unknown); Yuuto Tanaka, (grandfather: deceased)
History: Miranda was born in Iga Ueno, Japan to Nikolai and Midori Tezlov and soon after her family and she moved halfway across the world to Buffalo, New York. The family lived peacefully for over four years until a single event changed everything. One evening, while her older brother, (Mikhail), and she sat playing in their bedroom, they heard a sudden shout followed by a crash from the other side of the apartment. Mikhail acted quickly and pulled Miranda into the closet to hide. Their injured mother stumbled into the room followed by several figures in black. One spoke in Japanese, telling Midori that she ‘should not have run’ and struck her down. Mikhail burst out from the closet and charged the assassin’s leg only to be slapped away. The man who had spoken then killed Midori and his men disappeared along with Mikhail. Miranda was found five hours later, still hiding in the closet.
Little Miranda spent the next few weeks in the hospital as psychologists tried to help her get over the shock of witnessing her mother’s murder. When she finally began to respond, she told them that ‘the pajama men took ani away.’ The police had no leads on the crime and felt that her comment did not give them any clues to further their investigation. Eventually, Miranda was sent to live with her aunt Nina and her family in Mobile, Alabama. Nina had married a proud Russian man by the name of Nazar Beloi who did not like the idea of Miranda living with them. At first, he would only make a few, minor jabs at the girl but the comments continued to get worse; and then, Nazar lost his job. He had been a drinking man, and while he wasn’t pleasant to be around while he was drunk, a sober Nazar proved to be far worse. He began to blame their money troubles on Miranda, she was an extra mouth to feed and she wasn’t even their daughter and he would sometimes tell her this with his fists.
Traumatized by her mother’s death, her uncle’s constant abuse, and constant teasing at school over her eyes, Miranda turned into a meek, quiet child: A wall flower. She was considered a freak at school, bullied because of her eyes and apparent weakness; however, one evening everything simply changed. Nazar was raging yet again, Miranda had received a negative report that day due to her ‘lack of participation’. Her uncle began to lay it into her when something simply clicked in the back of her brain. The child began to yell back, screaming at him challenging him to make good on his threats because she promised that she would make him ‘pay’. Shocked by the sudden outburst of bravery, Nazar grabbed his chair, his chest, and then hit the ground.
Miranda’s aunt Nina blamed her for the stroke even though there was no way the girl could have actually caused it. The woman asked, no, demanded that the girl be moved out of her home stating that she could no longer raise Miranda due to her husband’s new health problems. Miranda was pushed into a foster home, where she lived for barely a month before she was informed that they had found her a permanent home. Her grandfather in Osaka had heard of Miranda’s plight and had decided to take her in. Takana Yuuto proved to be a difficult guardian. As a ranking member of the Yakuza, he was a stern, traditional-minded and vicious business man who expected near perfection from her; however, he would reward her constantly with gifts and even allowing her to learn violin. The girl willfully did as she was asked.
A little before her eleventh birthday, things began to change. She began to hear random, disembodied whispers that seemingly gave her insight to the daily lives around her. Miranda kept silent about what she heard, for fear of how her grandfather might react; but, the whisperings kept getting stronger until it seemed that they were all that she could hear. Unable to bear the noise, she screamed for them to ‘be quiet’ which not only silenced the whispers but knocked several students out of their seats and destroyed the windows. Miranda had inadvertently released a strong wave of telekinetic energy. The authorities were called immediately and the terrified Miranda was taken into custody. She was only there for a few hours before her grandfather came to pick her up. He had looked stern and disappointed. It was not until they got home that she discovered that he was not angry. Instead, he suggested that she be moved to where her ‘developing skills’ as he called them could be more appreciated. Miranda spent the next several years learning the art of Ninpo, (among other skills); and she learned more control over her abilities which proved to be invaluable.
At seventeen, Yuuto called her back to his council and informed his granddaughter that he had a special job for her. A small gang in the area was beginning to become an annoyance. Their actions not only insulted Yuuto but they were encroaching on Yakuza business. Yuuto wished to teach them and any other rising gangs a lesson in humility. She was to kill their leader, and she was to do it in a way that would not be forgotten easily. The next night, the leader was found wrapped in barbed wire and hanging from a lamp post just outside the gang’s main hideout. Yuuto was pleased. She was given more missions, sometimes working with others and sometimes alone. Miranda took everything she learned during the next ten years and blended it together to transform herself into Yuuto’s favorite personal assassin.
Miranda’s position gave her more access to the secrets of her grandfather’s ‘business’, both good and bad. Some of what she had learned could bring the entire professional regime falling to its knees if used correctly: money laundered and even hidden from the higher ranking members of the Yakuza family; however, it was a single vital piece of information that tore her down instead. By accident she overheard the suspicious thoughts of one of Yuuto’s older followers. Miranda became suspicious and began to dig for more information until she found what she was looking for. She had finally learned who really killed her parents and why! Tanaka Yuuto had disapproved of his daughter’s relationship with Nikolai Tezlov and he had been angered when he discovered that Midori had secretly married the man. Despite his obvious anger, Yuuto uncharacteristically ‘allowed’ the couple to remain together provided they were under his ‘supervision’. It seemed that Midori and Nikolai complied for a while, but for reasons Miranda could not find, they fled the country soon after she was born. It had taken Yuuto’s men five years to track the family down. There had been no news about what had happened to her brother. Horror and rage consumed her: Her Grandfather had her parents killed and her brother might be dead as well. Her distraction caused her to make costly mistakes on the job. These mistakes put her face to face to the man himself.
At first, she tried desperately to explain herself without giving away what she had learned; but, nothing she said seemed to waver her grandfather’s anger or that of his men. Because of her mistakes, they had lost money and she had failed to take out her main target. She had failed them and therefore she had to pay the price. As the men spoke, the familiar storm of whispers over took her mind again, adding to her fear and rage until all she wanted was, ‘Silence!’ The outburst came like a wave, taking with it all the color in her world. Some of the men screamed in agony while others still simply slumped over in pools of their own blood.
Miranda stared at the dead bodies for what felt like several minutes, completely bewildered. She had never been able to do anything of that magnitude before! It did not take her long to pull herself out of her bemused state, Tanaka Yuuto’s guards had heard the commotion and came charging in. Upon seeing the carnage, they turned their weapons on the woman. By the time she managed to escape, she found a tall, statuesque man waiting for her.
For reasons that may never be determined, Mister Sinister had been in the area when Miranda had let lose her deadly attack on her grandfather and his men. He offered sanctuary, a place for her to continue to control her still growing powers in relative peace. All that he asked in return that she serve him.
She agreed and took on the alias ‘Greysight’ given her sudden inability to see color. The woman worked for him quietly for nearly two years until his supposed death. After the events of “house of M”, Miranda chose to leave her servitude to Mister Sinister and leave a normal life. He has yet to ‘retrieve’ her back.
She applied for U.S. citizenship and began living off of her savings. This was not enough for her and so she began looking for a job and eventually found a position with the American Symphony Orchestra. Now and again, she would be contacted by ‘old clients’ asking her to do a job for them and she would occasionally accept to ensure her financial stability. When the MRA was put into effect, Miranda had many reservations. Historically speaking, such acts lead to worse situations for those involved; however, she was also aware that those that complied often had it better than those that resisted. Plus, her citizenship was at stake, and so she chose to register.
Classification: Alpha
Powers: Telekinesis: Able to lift/throw/hurl objects and manipulate mental energy. The farther away an something is, the more difficult it is for her to manipulate. She can easily manipulate things within 30 feet, 40 to 50 feet takes concentration, 50 to 60 feet becomes difficult, 60 to 80 feet takes great concentration. Small, precise actions take more energy and concentration than bigger ones.
Telepathy: Able to read a person's thoughts, dig into their memories and make minor alterations, detect the minds of (most) others, and communicate her own thoughts to others.
Skills: Trained in the art of Ninpo and hand-to-hand combat, experienced swordsman, marksman and assassin. She is fluent in both Japanese and English. Able to operate basic computer functions. She is also a skilled violinist.
Weaponry: Various bladed weapons, an assortment of firearms and throwing weapons.
Role Play Sample: Greysight leaned against the wall, drumming her fingers against the red brick. The people on the sidewalk treated her as just another part of the scenery. To them she was just another tourist with a bad taste in coats. For the most part, she ignored them. Her main focus was on the business building across the street. The Marauder had been watching the place for over two weeks now. She believed that a good assassin always took the time to know their target before they made their move. It helped prolong the assassin’s life as well as their career.
All Greysight had to do was acquire a computer program that the company in question had recently developed; if she did this right, no one needed to die. Of course, even when one took into account the guards, the surveillance systems, people’s work patterns, and so on, there was always that factor of unpredictability. There was always a chance that someone could walk in at precisely the wrong time; and of course, she couldn’t really let them leave if they saw her face, no could she?
A particular gentleman wandered out of the building and Greysight casually checked her watch: right on time. She pushed herself off the brick wall and moseyed her way through the indifferent crowd to her first goal. The man barely noticed her wander by, and by the time he realized that his keycard was missing it would be too late.
She pulled out a piece of pocky and slid in into her mouth. Now, it was only a matter of waiting.
