Name: Selma Olinda av Kyrka Agnes Eklund (guardian protector of the church Agnes Eklund) Nickname: Agnes or Aggie Age: 701, looks 15 Race: Kyrkogrimen - The Church Grim Appearance: [img]http://i.imgur.com/9Z8ip2j.jpg[/img] Personality: She is not a welcoming person due to her reserved nature, and she is always cautious of unfamiliars. Whether it's the pastor or a wandering soul, she was always feared. Her anxiety of others is caused by the almost accidental fear she induced upon them, and Agnes is well aware of her power. She is extremely knowledgeable, for the heart of the grim sees into the eyes of creation. Since her job is so serious, she tends to be a serious person. She knows very little of the outside world, and is fraught with uncertainty of others, and appears nervous around her unknown surroundings. The lack of experience with people who weren't church goers has left her quite lonely, the only thing she can think of that delights her is the ringing of the church bells. Though it sounds like Agnes is unfriendly, she will respond when talked to, though responses will vary since she is timid towards strangers. History: When Agnes was alive she was a servant to the wealthy home of the town's church pastor. There since she was a child, she became good friends with the pastor's son, William. Eventually they ended up falling into forbidden love, and when their secret was found out the two were permanently separated. There was a new church being built in town, and as tradition they bury an animal underneath the podium to ensure the church's safety. However instead of just the animal, they decided that a much better sacrifice could be made. Agne's heart was encased within the sheep and buried under the church, her soul reincarnated into The Church Grim. She remembered not much of her living life, but now she knew so much more. Her soul was heavy because of the heart she bared, the heart that opens the eyes of the universe. Her role of responsibility and protection has continued from the day she appeared, and when she left her church the feeling of freedom was almost uncomfortable. Her responsibilities included ringing the church bells during funerals signaling the soul's departure, as well as guarding the graveyard from thieves and robbers. Since most people couldn't see her, Agnes kept to herself. The people of the church were aware of her presence, sometimes the children would see her wandering the grounds or observing from the bell tower. The stormy weather signaled her appearance, and other signs of her presence was the ringing of the church bells at midnight, signaling that someone local was close to death. No one ever visited the church at night, for the people were worried of Agne's protection would be put against them. Only sometimes would there be a real threat, and it was Agne's purpose to defeat said evil. During weddings they would ring the church bells loudly, and she always enjoyed that. Her life in the church was comfortable, but she always wondered what it was like on the outside world. She lived on at the same church for decades, never giving thought to the idea of leaving. She believed she couldn't because the body of the animal that rested underneath it's floors bound her from leaving, and she was destined to protect this church for eons. That's what she thought, anyways. On New Years Eve, she would gather with some of her fellow myths and await the Year Walkers who seeked the future. Most people could never complete the ritual, for they usually were killed by the spirits that tempted them to their own deaths. She was the last step to the tradition, and her fellow spirits taunted the humans as much as they could to keep them from her heart. For the heart of dear Agnes saw into the eyes of creation. One could find their future and learn the mysteries of the universe. Only one person was able to escape the Huldra's seductive ways, bypass the Brook Horse, and walk around the church in the correct pattern to meet The Church Grim. That man was none other than the old pastor's son, William. Agnes recognized him immediately, and she watched him traverse the snow covered wood towards the church. He always left flowers by the Willow Tree, yet no one was buried underneath it. Agnes liked to sit by the tree and watch the funeral procession, and sometimes he would look her way, as if he could see her. One stormy night, a raven visited her in the graveyard. It perched on top of the old willow tree which resided next to the bodies of the dead. She looked at the raven, her eyes curious. Through the darkness the raven transformed into a man, someone she had never seen before. The man smiled devilishly at her, and Agnes replied with a suspicious squint. The man introduced himself as Achak Chogan of the night. With his name she seeked his past from behind closed eyes, learning about his life, his death. Ash would visit her at night, and they would talk among themselves during the night. Eventually they became good friends, and one day, Ash asked Agnes to leave this place. Ash had found a small town with a local church that was unprotected, and the two of them could stay there together. She declined his offer, for she was bound to the church for eternity. However, the raven reminded her that it was December, and the next person to die could become the Church Grim for this church. With this in mind, Agnes agreed to his suggestion, and once the last death of the year occurred, the two set off for Gravette. Special Power/Weapon: Agnes has the power to manipulate time. She can see into the past and future, as well as slow down time, fast forward, and stop time. Her cosmic knowledge allows her to be aware of the mysteries of the universe, at least, whatever the Watchers tell her. She also has teleportation powers (similar to Blink from X-Men) which aid in her fighting style tremendously. Other: - she's wearing a wednesday addams like dress - her eyes are usually super dark but when she's using her powers her eyes turn light grey, no pupils. - she's very passive, and won't start up fights unless actually provoked or in danger
