[hider=Edith, Mother Slime] [b]Name:[/b] Edith MacKlaren [b]Theme:[/b] [hider=Control] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok9eF4hx0FA[/youtube] [/hider] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Species:[/b] Slime [b]Appearance:[/b] [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f5/a7/6e/f5a76eec1a074863ba37f01293875fb3.jpg[/img] (I'm aware complex shapes would be a little much at present but she'll be trying...)[/center] [b]Goals:[/b] To possess what she lost, though she doesn't know what that is yet... Step 1: Eat and Grow. Learn to better control her slime body. Step 2: Use her bodily anatomy to become fragrant and delicious. Get a body consistency that drugs their consumers. Might be medicinal or poisonous in origin, perhaps both. Step 3: Master Transformation in order to tantalize unsuspecting minions (I.E A Mimic, Dopple Ganger) Step 4: Become desired, for when you desire, you are controlled. [b]Past Life:[/b] Edith had to work and hold onto everything she ever got. The youngest of three sisters and two brothers, she learned very quickly that she needed to do whatever she could to just stand out and get attention. She acted out, becoming a bit of a brat. She got the attention she craved even if it was only to receive discipline. It taught her a valuable lesson. That she could control her life. She could get what she wanted, even if you had to do bad things. She put all her efforts into standing out and getting the best results for herself. It didn't matter if she studied all the time, as long as she got the best grade, so cheating was definitely a solid tactic. She used her friends to get to other more popular friends, and then left her old ones in the dust when they were no longer useful to her. She would keep herself attractive and fit, and flirted with boys so they would do her favors. Control was the name of the game. She had to control everything in her life and had to control the people in it. To say she was possessive would be an understatement as she resorted to ever more cruel and backhanded ways to remove the competition. This served her well in the position of real estate broker. Having been an agent herself and quite successful, she took all the tests, greased all the palms, slept with all the district managers she needed to get an office and a team all her own, and she put [b]her[/b] little minions through hell partly for the financial success, and partly because it was more lives she entangle in her web. They were hers, and there wasn't anything they could do about it. Quitting was not something she would allow. It wasn't part of her plan and she couldn't have that. Finding a useful, rich, and gullible man was all too easy for her as well. She treated her marriage as another little stepping stone in acquiring as much possessions, money, and influence as she could. Her mindset changed the moment she held her first child, a daughter just like her. Finally she actually thought of something other than herself. She became a doting mother, obsessed with the safety, health, and success of her children, having four of them in all. They had lives without troubles, but being as controlling as she was, her love was met with equal parts bitterness as each of them had ever single parts of their childhood planned and adhering to a strict schedule. Even in love she could not change who she was deep inside, even if her heart was technically in the right place. It all came to a screeching and crashing end when in a car, her oldest daughter refused to go to law school like Edith planned. The refusal became an argument, the argument became shouting, the shouting led to carelessness, and carelessness led to Edith crashing into a guard rail. Her daughter survived. She did not. [b]Abilities:[/b] [List][*]Physical Damage Resistance I. (A bundle skill applying to all three types, Blunt, Slash, and Pierce) [*]Deception I Like other charismatic skills, your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You'll have greater luck deceiving others, whether it be through words or sleight of hand.[/list] Skill Gain: Limited Shapeshift I By practicing the manipulation of your body, which Slimes are naturally predisposed for, you gained this skill. You cannot alter the total size, texture, or consistency of your body. You also cannot alter your body’s primary qualities--you cannot become “sharp” or “hard,” for example. At this level, complex structures are too difficult. But making yourself into a rolling sphere, a flat puddle, or shaping your pseudopods would all be possibilities, plus more. This skill consumes Stamina, not MP. [b]Transformations:[/b] Limited Shapeshift I [b]Inventory:[/b] [list][*]1 Healing Herb [*]1 Fish (tiny) [/list] [/hider]
