Talk:Syn Anders

Info

• Got some info from NBC about a character they're introducing as part of an affiliation with Habbo. The profile information was provided to me by NBC so it should check out, though it may require some reformatting to fit in with the rest of our articles. It looks like the character will be mostly or entirely within Habbo's online world. From what I'm told NBC expects to start promoting this affiliation later today or tomorrow, so we were given the info ahead of time. :) (Admin 14:13, 26 January 2009 (EST))
  • Looks cool, though I doubt I'll be stopping by Habbo anytime soon. Does the profile you were given say Syn is unemployed (you put her parents in the occupation field, which I corrected)?--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:33, 26 January 2009 (EST)
    • Just checking before others do....but how is this new ability different that what Eden did with her persuasion? Both ladies used their ability to make other people do their biding. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 01/26/2009 14:40 (EST)
      • Oops, sorry. Based on the profile she's in high school. (Admin 14:43, 26 January 2009 (EST))

Character History

Syn Anders is a 16 year old teenage girl and her ability is Empathic Manipulation. Unlike Peter Petrelli who mimics and/or duplicates the abilities of other evolved humans, she can manipulate the emotions after physically touching anyone, persuading them to do what she wants. Also different from Guillame (the Haitian's father) who can introduce positive or negative sensations in other people, Syn manipulates emotions and can control the volume and intensity of those emotions as well.

This ability can obviously go either way. She can make them feel joy, which causes it spread to others. She can make them feel sympathetic and help someone out in need. On the other hand, she can make people angry to incite a riot. She can make them feel depression, so they commit suicide. She can make them so frightened, they cry like a baby.

As mentioned above, Syn can also control the volume of emotions. She can make someone feel extreme happiness and suddenly be moved to tears of joy...or furious anger, causing the heart to race and, if pushed, to explode.

Until now, she has only really used her ability to amuse herself in those long winters. An extra smile here to stay up a little later or a few more tears there to get some sympathy. Sure, this can simply be called manipulation, but the difference is, it actually works. However, so far she cannot use her ability on herself.

Where did she come from? Syn was born in St. Paul, Minnesota to parents Edward and Barbara Anders. Her childhood was considered normal. She grew up in a happy home with good values, love and respect. Syn is an only child and often spent a lot of time alone in her room, especially during the cold winters. It can take a toll on a person's psyche.

Generally a happy child, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. In fact, she was almost too good. A mind like a sponge, she sailed through middle school into high school. Honors and advanced college preparation courses consumed her life. No time for boys.

What does her name mean? Syn, is the Norse Goddess of watchfulness and truth. Born under Norwegian decent, she was named after her grandmother, Cynthia Griffiths... with a clever twist in using the "s".

What is her motivation? She is too smart for the world and wants to prove it.

What does she want? At first, she just wanted a happy, normal life. But if pushed in the wrong direction, her powerful ability could change everything.
