Woo. New CS. Many thanks to RomanAria for answering all my questions. :P


[hider=Stergann Scythe]
Name: Stergann Scythe [Stergann means starry sky, in Breton]
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b] 22
[b]Nationality:[/b] American
[b]Current location in the world:[/b] New York, HQ
[b]Appearance:[/b] Pixie cut, black hair, pale skin, rather square face, dimples in cheeks and chin, brown eyes. Slim, a little taller than average.
[b]Location and notes on star mark:[/b] On the back of her neck, four-pointed, as big as the palm of her hand.
[b]Star power:[/b] Reverse telepathy. She can implant thoughts, suggestions, or information in people's heads. Direct communication with words is harder, but she can do that too. The power is not limited by distance, but she must be able to picture the person's face in her mind. Distance also makes it harder to implant actual words, but so far she hasn't found a hard limit.
[b]Corrupted or Uncorrupted:[/b] Uncorrupted.
[b]Personality:[/b] Very quiet and composed, often with a contemplative look on her face. A people-watcher. Quiet by nature, but not shy. Is steadfast in her opinions and worldview; it can be hard to change her mind unless you know just how to talk to her. Has extremely strong morals, which include not using her power for petty reasons.
[b]Biography:[/b] Stergann grew up in Houston, Texas. Her powers emerged late, when she was fifteen. She joined the organization almost right away. Her parents had wanted her to stay at home with them, but Stergann was afraid of what she might do to them and to others she knew. She didn't want to keep them eternally guessing about whether their thoughts were their own or whether Stergann had influenced them. Of course, her powers could still take effect from all the way over in New York, but the fact that she'd be surrounded by people who could help her get a grasp on her powers was kind of reassuring. Her parents respected her decision.
She spent the next few years with the organization before "graduating" to a staff role. She was glad to accept a position as a teacher, since it provided her with the opportunity to use her power to help others. Nowadays she teaches math at the headquarters to the Uncorrupted. Her late entrance into the organization meant that she had a chance to have a solid education beforehand, since she wasn't subjected to the erratic always-interrupted-by-missions schedule that students follow here. She still lives at HQ, since that's all she really knows of New York, and it makes it easier anyway with the weird schedule. It also makes it easier for her to answer questions and help out those who need a little more explaining. The main challenge she encounters in her job is that she can give her students explanations and formulas, but she can't make them [i]get[/i] it. And she certainly can't read their minds to figure out what part they don't understand.
[b]Trivia:[/b]
- Likes to eat fish, apples, and spaghetti. Dislikes most cheeses.
- Likes mentoring the students. Hates grading assignments. (aka she's a normal teacher?)
- Still has a good relationship with her parents, but they've only visited once since she moved to New York, and she hasn't been back to Houston.
- Isn't a great cook, but mentors the students' cooking club. They needed a staff mentor, and she needed an excuse to spend time with students outside the classroom, so there you have it.
