@jester - Hey! By any chance was your character Trini? I still have all the character sheets archived. If so, here: [hider=Trinidad Castell Blanco] Name: Trinidad "Trini" Castell Blanco Gender: Female Age: 15 Appearance: Trini stands at a rather unremarkable 5'1'', with a frail, light figure and slightly round face. Her hair is long and somewhat wavy, reaching to her mid-back, and is chestnut-brown in color. Her eyes are large and blue, though they're often hidden behind a pair of sunglasses for her own comfort. The sunglasses have dark purple frames, with a small cross hanging from the right side rim. The cross is both a decoration and a protective charm, and has been blessed by the church she frequents. A fan of loose clothes and especially animal hoodies, she can be most often found wearing something of the sort when not dressed in ritual robes. Her favorite hoodie is a fluffy, dark gray one with bunny ears on the hood and a small tail at the back, simply due to it feeling good to move around in and being warm. No matter the attire though, she always carries with her a rather large silver cross, usually seen hanging around her neck. Like the one hanging from the rim of her glasses, it, too, offers her protection, but also offensive power when it comes to ghosts. Talent: Trini is effectively a priestess. She is able to weaken or completely exorcise spirits through citing the bible, rituals and the use of holy items, such as crosses and holy water. However, each exorcising - or even an attempt - is fairly taxing to her body, and considering she's still but a teenage girl (and a frail one at that), she needs her rest in between. In addition, she can see and sense ghosts and the like, though it would seem that her powers when it comes to that aren't quite what they used to be a few years back when she was at her peak. Her exorcising and spirit-sensing powers also seem to somewhat conflict with each other (most likely tied to her conflicting emotions when it comes to using said powers), and so when she's using one, she cannot use the other one effectively, leaving her completely defenseless during longer rituals, as she doesn't even have normal human sight to help her see around her. Still, her exorcism is powerful and for that alone, she's very renowned. Background: For as long as she can remember, perhaps even from the very moment she was born, Trini has been able to see things others cannot. Of course, when young, she wasn't really aware of her talent; to her, there was no such thing as "supernatural" - the ghosts of the previous residents of her home, the spirits she could see play around the yard every night until dawn, and the colorful auras that alerted her to a person approaching far before any sound or sight ever could were always very much real to her. They were normal, things she assumed everyone saw but didn't just bother to talk about. Her ability wasn't strong a first, and perhaps it would be more accurate to say that she "felt" rather than "saw" the things around her. They had no true physical form, after all. For example, instead of seeing the ghosts as something human shaped she saw them as distortions in the air, as light without source. Something she just knew was there. And, as their shapes and voiced grew clearer, Trini befriended them like she would any human living in her home. In fact, young Trini spent much of her childhood playing with her ghastly friends instead of going out to spend time with her own kind - after all, the kids outside already had people to play with, while her friends at home? They always did appear lonely to her. So, she would sit on the living room couch or the swing outside on the yard, gaze fixed somewhere beyond anything her parents could see for hours, just talking and laughing to (what appeared to be) herself. This worried her parents of course, and for years they thought their daughter suffered from schizophrenia, as did most of her peers - after all, what else would explain her nonsensical behaviour? It didn't help that she always kept insisting her friends were real and was very genuinely confused when she realized nobody else could neither see nor converse with them. It was only a little after starting school however, that Trini once and for all learnt that the things she saw, heard and felt were not normal nor something to tell your friends about - the constant bullying she faced whenever she tried to introduce her classmates to her old friends convinced her of such. And so, despite her powers growing stronger as she aged, Trini did her best to ignore her otherworldly friends during class and recess, being close to tears every time she had to turn her back to them and pretend they weren't there. It was incredibly difficult at first, but she grew better at it gradually. She was forced to, after all, by her friends, parents and her psychiatrist. And yet, the more she ignored her old friends, the sadder they became. Even when she couldn't see them, she could feel as much. It was incredibly hard for young Trini. Painful, even, to the point she eventually tried to rid herself of her skill. She tried to ignore it, tried to blind herself from the truth and deny her friends when asked by her psychiatrist for the umpteenth time if she could still see these supposed ghosts of hers. And as Trini grew, surely enough, she did grow blinder and blinder - but not the way she had intended. Perhaps it was due to her powers growing stronger and stronger and eventually being too much for her brain or eyes to handle, but by the time she was 10, Trini was completely blind in the eyes. But what she lost in regular sight, she gained back tenfold in her ability to see the supernatural. This did not help her cause the slightest, and while the bullying did lessen somewhat (perhaps the teachers were more motivated to protect a blind girl from such harm than they were a girl with perfect sight, she didn't know), it was increasingly difficult to make human friends. It didn't help that many started to consider her cursed - after all, she had started by saying she saw weird things, and now went blind without there being anything physically wrong with her eyes. So, Trini grew secluded, cut away from the real world and more and more tied to what lay beyond it. She was alone with the things others called her crazy for. The first one to bring her hope, to light up the darkness she was engulfed in, was a relatively young, local priest. Trini's family had never been that religious, but after overhearing a few girls talking about how finding God had made their life better, she had, in her desperation to find someone to accept her, ended up wandering to the local church (a task made possible by the holy aura the place emitted, easy to follow even from far away). There, the priest told her that rather than a curse, he considered her ability a gift from God. It was something she could use to rid the word of evil spirits and help those lost on earth find their light. The concept of "evil" spirits was foreign to Trini at first. The ones she had seen so far had all been benevolent. The reason, which she didn't know back then, was that her power was what had kept evil spirits at bay the whole time. See, it turned out that she had a natural knack for exorcism, which was where her ability to see also stemmed from. As such, she learned how to exorcise ghosts, spirits and the like in a relatively short time under the church's teachings, and while at first, Trini was very reluctant to make disappear a creature her old friends so much resembled... in time she started to change her views. After getting rid of a few evil spirits, she actually started to like it. Enjoy it, even. It felt like she could finally let out all ten years of frustration she'd felt while unwillingly seeing things she didn't want to, things that labeled her a freak and eventually stripped her from her sight. It was like getting revenge on an old adversary. And yet, it was not. A part of her, the little girl in her still considered all ghosts her friends, and their painful removal from this world - often against their will - was not something she could do without suffering along with them. And knowing that part of her actually enjoyed it, she couldn't help but feel guilty, and sometimes even be found crying after an exorcising job was done. She felt like she used a power meant to communicate for fighting. She felt it unfair. Felt herself unworthy of her power to see. Perhaps that was why said power has started to weaken as of late. Either way, Trini is a famous exorcist and a priestess, often called in to get rid of malevolent ghosts or guide lost souls to light and the like. Naturally, she no longer attends school. Nobody knows how she spends her free time (if any), as she tends to stay inside behind a locked door when not out performing her duties, something that hasn't changed from her childhood years.[/hider] @Dead Cruiser - Well, some might be shaped this way - but certainly not all - so you'd be far less of a combatant in the latter case.
