[Hider=Violet Brooks][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Violet Brooks, Vi, Ms. Tierious (Fortune Teller name), Beta (Assassin name) [u][b]Apparent Age:[/b][/u] 19 (people guess about 24) [u][b]"IS":[/b][/u] Human [u][b]Description:[/b][/u] Dark skinned young girl who wears elegant clothing, black pantyhose, a black skirt going half way down her thigh, a black corset with purple cups, a purple and black shawl, and purple hood. She has bright green eyes and long black hair that she keeps covering the left side of her face. [u][b]Armaments:[/b][/u] In terms of armor, she has very light armor underneath the clothing she wears. Enough where it won't show. For weapons she uses her crystal ball as a flying wrecking ball or a small dagger. [u][b]Teraterifficence:[/b][/u] She as an ability which makes her a Seer, in other words, a fortune teller. She can peer into the past of a willing person and can look into someone's future with a kiss. The amount of intimacy in the kiss determines how much she can see. A kiss with a lover will allow her to see very little when as a kiss she doesn't care about will allow her to see much more. She can't trick her powers by pretending she doesn't care... they know. Kissing an enemy, or someone who's actively hostel towards her, will also warrant a very short amount of time. Her powers try to prevent her from seeing her own future as much as possible but she can still kiss an enemy to determine what attack they will do next. In addition she can control her crystal ball telekinetically, though this power is limited ONLY to her ball. The ball also is linked to her emotions, when she is controlling it, the ball will glow with a color representative with her current emotion: red for anger, blue for joy, pink for love, etc. [u][b]Your World:[/b][/u] True magic is all but forgotten in Violet's world. While most warriors have special abilities that assist them in combat, they never reach pure magic. Magic is specifically reserved for the control of the major elements: fire, ice, wind, and earth, and the 2 forbidden elements of light and dark. Some people may have an ability that allows them control over one of the main four but never multiple and NEVER dark and RARELY light. Some people are fast, some people are strong, some people are living lie detectors, and some can have very underwhelming and mundane abilities. Once you find your ability however, it's with you for life and you can never change it or get a new one. Violet's ability was 1 in a million allowing her to view points through time as if reading a book. Truly a wonderful ability and never before seen in her world. She keeps her powers for the most part a secret aside from running a "bogus" fortune teller stand. It lets her spy on nobles in a way they cannot stop or detect: by staring through the eyes of regular people until she can find her target, and slowly move in from there, setting up her shop closer and closer to her target. Warrior are needed to protect civilians from the creatures of dark which plague Violet's world: the Nightmares. They attack people for no reason other than the hatred they have for them. Nightmare are vengeful spirits given birth. They spawn naturally over time but can be created with dark magic. The warriors of the world fight them off in a never ending battle that seems to never have an end. [hider=Backstory]Violet grew up a normal life. Nothing to really spur her down down an assassin's path. One day, she kissed her mother goodnight when she was able to see a surprise meeting she had that she wasn't prepared for. After a warning, her mother laughed it off until the next day when the prediction came true. After a bit of testing and exploring, her family came to understand her power. After a few years of using it at home, she decided that on her 17th birthday, she'd go out on her own and start a job to bring in some extra money. Her parents would buy her a special crystal ball which synchronized with her powers as a gift. She cherished this gift more than anything and would go on to be the best fortune teller she could. While on the job however, she eventually came across a person with a DESPICABLE past. Drug and human trafficking, abuse, blackmail, all and all, this man was the scum of the earth. Previously she'd use her powers to read a person's past but now she'd use it to see into his future. She pretended to be a phony by spouting some generic nonsense about the man working hard but never feeling appreciated, being very family-centric, and fearful since he spends a lot of time thinking about the future. This is when she'd offer to read his future, and explain how she'd need to kiss him in order to do this. The man was repulsive but someone like him wouldn't turn down a free kiss, especially from someone like her. As she kissed him, she looked quickly throughout his current day. She found where he'd hide at night and where he'd be making his next deal at. Right after the deal, he'd be alone for about 10 mins while he counted his money. She saw this was a trusted employer so he could trust them, but only about as far as he could throw him. Make the deal, trade the goods, get paid, and get the girl out of there before the authorities showed up. That would be her moment. She purchased a dagger and went to the meeting spot. She knew the man's guards would leave early to let him count his money in peace. It was something he thought of as his "me" time. What a greedy fool... She came in to the room where he was alone and looked distressed. She cried about how she needed protection and she recognized him from earlier. She'd throw herself on him and beg him to save her life. The man got the most lecherous smile on his face as he promised to protect her from anything as long as she'd do some "favors" for him. She looked longingly into his eyes as she gave him a deep kiss. As she looked into his future, she could feel his abhorrent hands groping her. As she looked into his future however, she saw nothing after about 10 seconds. She knew he'd die and that she'd be successful. She slowly pushed him away coyly, as she quickly pulled her dagger out and slashed his throat. While he was in shock she plunged the dagger as hard as she could into the front of this cretin's head. She saw she was covered in blood and was ready to quickly leave. Before she got 3 steps away, she had a thought. No one knew what was going on here and she would be alone for a few more minutes. She picked up the briefcase filled with money and left out the back of the warehouse. She went to a nearby river to clean her clothes off. It was a shame this was a cold night but she had to do what she needed to do. She looked around, didn't see anyone and disrobed. She started washing everything to make sure not even the stench of blood was on her clothes. Eventually, she'd find a knife at her back and was completely horrified. Soon the knife was removed as she slowly turned around to see a figure in a long black hooded robe. She tried her best to cover herself up with her hands but the figure took their robe off and handed it to her. Underneath she saw a rather old man about 50 to 60 with several scars around his body as well as on his face. She quickly covered up with his robe and asked what he was doing, she didn't even acknowledge the knife at her back a few moments ago. He said his name was Xendrik Baern. He was an assassin and saw what she did. He was impressed with her resolve and how perfectly her plan was executed, however she was sloppy in her execution. Xendirk offered to train her to be better. Violet protested saying she's not a killer and the only reason she killed him is because he was complete scum. Xendrik explained that as an assassin, he's not a complete murder who kills randomly. He get a request and decides if the person is truly undeserving of life. He was actually watching the man she killed for a few days trying to pick up his patterns but she was able to do so instantly. He continued to say he wouldn't force Violet to take a job she didn't want to do but the rewards were ALWAYS substantial. Plus... a young beautiful girl like her could get around much easier than a rugged old man like himself. Violet was a bit shocked and didn't know what to say. Xendrik said he'd give her a few days to think about it, committing to a life of murder isn't something anyone could do so easily, and if they could he'd want nothing to do with them. He approached Violet's clothes and said he's do her a small favor though, as his hand burst into flame which began to die down to where only his palm was a bright red as he began to move it across her clothes. Violet saw the steam rising off of it quickly and in less than a minute, all her clothes were dry. "A girl like you shouldn't be walking home in wet clothes" Xendrik would say as he'd chuckle lightly before turning his attention to the briefcase. He said he has to take that case back to the client to complete the mission. He'd take a few stacks out of the case and hand it to Violet as a courtesy. After a few days she'd made up her mind and she was ready to accept but she forgot something... she has no idea how to find him. Rejected, she go about her day normally when at her stand she'd find Xendrik in much more plain clothing. "I see you've made your decision...", Violet nodded and Xendrik would say there's one more step. They left the center of tower and began making their way back to Violet's home. She knew what this meant. The last step was to kill her parents, she'd have to completely void her emotions and show that she could kill anyone, regardless of who they were. She knew she couldn't do it, she wasn't prepared for something like this. She began to think of a time she could sneak a kiss on this guy to give herself some edge against fighting him but time grew short as they'd reach her front door and he knocked on it. She prayed her parents weren't home but her father opened the door and she could see her mother. Her heart sank and Xendrik began to speak. "You must be this girl's father, and you her mother" gesturing to both parents. She saw her father looked concerned about this large scarred man as he looked to her in a "what did you do" kind of glance. Xendrik would continue: "No need to be alarmed or concerned. I'm simply wowed by your daughter's talents. A fortune teller is impressive and can woo a crowd, but a REAL one is something no one has ever seen. I come to you both to make an offer, I'd like to personally hire Violet here and take her all around the world. Show her the sights and people of this planet. Around the world, she'll be a worldwide attraction people will come from all over to see. One thing that everyone thinks about is their future. Once we build up her reputation, she'll be the most famous person alive. However I am aware I can't just take her away from you both, this is your daughter and I only wish to make this offer. Should you say no, I'll simply leave. I'd come back once she was a grown, independent woman and make the offer again but not a second before that. This decision lies with you both... what do you say?" Violet's jaw completely dropped as she could not believe what this man was saying. How could someone like this lie so easily? How can he lie with a smile on his face, IN FRONT OF HER NO LESS?? She felt a nudge on her back as Xendrik glanced down at her sternly. She quickly straightened up her face and looked back at her parents. Her mother came over and asked if she was really ready for something like this. Violet nodded and gave a warm smile. Her parents looks at each other a smiled as a tear began to run down her mother's cheek. Her father got down on a knee and told her how proud he was of her and of how much she'd grown. He'd stand up to look at Xendrik and told him to look out for her and to keep her safe. Xendrik would agree as they both left. "...WHAT WAS THAT?!?" Violet would shout in shock. "Keep your voice down, did you think I'd make you do something cliche like kill them or something?" Violet looked away and didn't answer. "Your still a minor, and if you went missing you'd worry your parents sick." Xendrik seemed a lot more humane then Violet had expected. For the next year, Violet would be trained as a assassin, basic cardio, vital points, sneaking, and how to better use her powers to gather information from a crowd rather than just her target. She'd never forget to write and send money home to her parents to let them know she's doing alright. To this day she continues to work with Xendrik, under the pseudonym "Alpha" as a professional assassin under the name "Beta". [/hider] [u][b]Other:[/b][/u] She is quiet and reserved but has her "flirty" side where she will tease people who she offers her services to. She's very loyal to people who ally themselves with her provided they've proven to be trustworthy themselves. She can be cold and ruthless but sweet and sincere.[/hider]
