She has taken over the body of an unlucky extra-normal who chanced upon her seal. Ashley now as much shorter and somehow wilder black hair than she did during life, and where she once had amber eyes, they're now a blue-green. She has full lips, and rounded features. She wears what she liked to wear when she was alive. Jeans, t-shirts, jackets, band tees. The usual rock-loving clothes. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/u][/h3] [i]"Fall down 7 times, Stand up 8!"[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b] Originally Ashley wanted to become a musician. She was a guitar player and singer. Now that she's dead, she isn't as sure. She might still do it now that she's in a new body. [b]WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THE COVEN ⫻[/b] She's looking into the extra-normal and wants to find that bitch that sealed her in the first place. Seems a good place to look. [b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b] All we can do is our best. We need to try to help others, not beat them down. Well, that's what it used to be. Now, she's more interested in figuring out what all of this even means, and is still guilty about taking a body. [b]SECRETS ⫻[/b] She tries to hide that she has body snatched someone, not her proudest moment. [b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b] Lesbian [b]FEARS ⫻[/b] Well, not death. She fears that Elise may be in another bad position and is scared for her in general. She's scared to literal death of Elise's parents. She also has common fears such as bugs with more than 6 legs. She also fears what may happen to that poor girl she kicked out of her own body. [b]REPUTATION ⫻[/b] She has no idea what her reputation is. The girl had apparently come to Florida from Oregon. She didn't get many chances to chat before taking control of the poor girl. She only had her wallet to go off of, that she promptly tossed in the trash. [b]FLAWS ⫻[/b] She is prone to explosive anger. Her apparition form was created from anger and is fueled by it. She has been trying to control it, but not to much avail. She also still has a protective nature that can put her in trouble. She has mood swings and is very guilty as an Abscised. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] BACKSTORY [/b][/u][/h3] [i]"My normal life, washed down the drain. Shit."[/i] [indent][indent]Ashley had a very normal life, filled with ups, downs, and all arounds. Her family, which was comprised of Mother: Carol, Father: Leon, Younger brother: Eric, and Younger sister: Lisa. Her parents both worked during the day, one going in earlier than the other. Dad would see them to school, and mom would pick them up. She had her fair share of arguments with her siblings who were both two years younger than her, but in the end, she loved them all. She took an interest in music early in life, due to her mother and father blasting the 80s greatest hits all the time. She was very fond of power ballads and hair metal. She'd dance and sing along as the music blasted through the house as a toddler. When she was 6, she got a kid's guitar, and actually buckled down to learn. She spent hours playing guitar, listening to music, having family movie nights, and playing pretend with her brother and sister. However, she could also be a bit bratty. She fell into foul moods easily when upset, and was a pretty pushy person. She was pretty bossy to her kid siblings as well as any friends she ever got. She met her best friend in Junior High, seventh grade to be exact. Her name was Elise. She was pretty but unpopular. Ashley learned it was because she was a know-it-all. That didn't bother her at all. She went up to her one lunch and began to talk. Elise seemed shy and unsure, but in time, she opened up to her. Ashley was just as happy as Elise to have a friend. She had recently lost a friend from being a bit too bossy one too many times. Elise never cared though, but Ashley only ever saw her at school. She'd occasionally get detention with Elise, just to spend the extra time together that she never got to spend with her outside of school. Ellie had a good effect on Ashley. In ninth grade, her bossiness began toning down. It was still there, but nowhere near as annoying. She also discovered her crush on Ellie in the ninth grade. She was always curious about her home life, and had some suspicions of abuse, but Ellie would always insist they were just busy. Ashley always bought it. In tenth grade, she confessed her feelings to Ellie, and was accepted. The two dated for the rest of her life. It never got too far, especially since the two only hung out at school, but they held hands, hugged, and even kissed on occasions. Of course this meant that both were bullied because they weren't straight. Ashley let it roll right off her back, and though she didn't know it, her acting that way helped Elise endure it better. In Eleventh grade, Ashley had enough. She was done wondering what was up with Elise. She was going to find out. She followed Elise home one night, feeling guilty for what a stalker she was being the whole way. When she saw her home, she went up and knocked. A beer-belly man with a bad shave was standing in the door in no time, spouting out something about not wanting girl scout cookies. Ashley told him she just wanted to see Elise. This resulted in a harsh "She's busy," and a door in her face. After this she felt conflicted. She had no proof of abuse but was sure of it. Those burns on Ellie's arms came from somewhere. Yet, she lacked the courage to do anything about it and took solace in seeing her girlfriend when she could. It was senior year. Ashley and Elise had both turned 18, graduating a little late due to late birthdays. Ashley finally plucked the courage to do something. She stayed in her room most of that fateful day, playing her guitar, listening to music, and planning how she'd do it. She had sneaked over to Ellie's house a couple times and learned which room was hers. She'd slip notes and such in the window to remind her that not all was bad, because in senior year, Ashley finally confirmed her abuse. Telling no one where she was going, she left her house. She made her way to Ellie's home and quietly made her way to her window. She saw Elise there, nose in a book. She carefully opened the window and climbed in. Unfortunately Ashley never practiced a silent window entrance. Ellie rushed to her and was whispering things like, "No, you need to go!". Then the door slammed open. There stood the pot-belly man and a large brown haired woman. The man roared and plowed passed Ellie, easily tossing her aside. His hands were on her throat before she could think. "Weird flex, but alright, he'll let me go. No way this dude's gonna kill me. Wait, this guy's gonna kill me. I can't move." These were the chain of thoughts in Ashley's mind as she struggled against the man's strength. She heard Elise screaming for him to stop. "Poor Elise... Poor me... This sucks." These were the last thoughts of Ashley's living form, followed by a feeling of Anger and Hatred, the emotions that were filling the room as she died. Ashley was surprised to regain consciousness. She took in what she thought was a deep breath and looked around. The guy was gone, Elise was gone, no one was in the room, until suddenly paramedics and police barged in. Ashley sat up and exclaimed that she was okay. No one seemed care though as they lifted her body right through her. Ashley didn't like what she knew this meant. She was dead, and a ghost. She followed her body, wept with her family, though they had no idea. She attended her own funeral and was shocked and a little hurt that Ellie hadn't attended. Her family and entire school did though. She wasn't crazy popular, but when a student dies, it seems to attract a huge crowd. After the funeral Ashley, felt the rage in her build up. Ellie was her best friend and didn't show up!? It was so stupid! Deep inside she knew there were reasons, but for some reason only anger was allowed out. Her hands were surrounded by darkness that took the shape of giant claws, each hand had 3 large black, red, and purple claws not glowing, but also not appearing solid. They looked void like. She was then encountered by a witch and an apparition. Emily Reed and Babylon. Ashley was surprised they were able to see and acknowledge her, but before she could even explain, she was seen as a threat and attacked. Ashley was defeated and sealed inside a block of worn wood and was tossed aside. Ashley tried to scream for help but there was nothing where she was. She was in a strange void, alone. She avoided death only to be trapped in an awful piece of wood. Little did she know that the wood was giving off the smallest amount of energy. Enough that a certain young woman named Chloe Ackerman happened to notice. She's what most people call a "one eye open" and she was actually good at seeing paranormal energy. The young girl, who left her home behind to be able to defend herself against apparitions, picked up the block. "Please! Let me out!" Ashley cried. Chloe wasn't sure how to respond to the voice in her head. [color=9e0039]"How?"[/color] She asked, speaking aloud. Ashley was overcome with a sudden rage and pushed with all her might. She could see the girl. She wasn't strong against the extra-normal and nothing stopped Ashley from pushing herself out of the wood and into the girls body, which then forcefully ejected her. Ashley was able to move again. She could see real flesh on her hands. She saw Chloe floating there in disbelief, completely unable to comprehend what was happening. During this confusion Ashley gave the newly formed apparition a quick "I'm sorry!" and ran off. She hoped the girl wouldn't find her, and also hoped she would. Ashley threw away Chloe's wallet after checking it, and now just goes by Ashley. She feels awful about what she's done, but she refused to wait out eternity or longer in a stupid rotting chunk of wood. Before long, she learned about the Coven and set her sights there. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/u][/h3] [i]"Music make you lose control."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [b][Skill name here]Musician ⫻[/b] During her life she became a skilled guitarist and singer. Even posted a few covers on youtube. [b][Skill name here]Caring ⫻[/b] Ashley is a good friend. She may have a slightly bossy side, but it's more like a caring sister or a mom than a manipulative person. She hates to see the weak be messed with. [b][Skill name here]Stalking- I mean Following ⫻[/b] Ever since following Elise home without being noticed, Ashley would make a game of seeing how long someone wouldn't notice her following them. She learned the usual distances to stay away from people. She doesn't know how helpful it is as a ghost, but oh well. [b][Skill name here]Patience ⫻[/b] She became patient with people, with having younger siblings and Ellie, you learn to finally grow up and just wait them out. They'll always appreciate it. However the patience she learned through her life was sometimes completely left behind when she succumbs to rage. [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/u][/h3] [i]"New powers huh, I guess being dead isn't all bad."[/i] [indent][indent] [b]TYPE ⫻[/b] Abscised [b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] Dark claws [b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] Ashley can create dark energy in her hands. The darkness forms into three claws on each hand, jagged and intimidating. They do not appear as solid flesh but a sort of void like energy. With these claws she can efficiently tear away at her enemies. [b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b] Ashley has no aura sense. [b]LIMITS ⫻[/b] The claws that Ashley can create are three feet long and she can maintain them as long as her stamina allows it. She can cut through a wide variety of materials, except she has a harder time using her ability on harder to slice materials. [b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b] Ashley's claws are extra vulnerable to supernatural attacks and could break attacking an extra-Normal being if she isn't careful. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] OTHER [/b][/u][/h3] [i]"I feel awful. I hope whatever reason I'm here is worth it."[/i] [/hider] [hider=Chloe][center] [b][18 | Chloe Ackerman | Female][/b] [b]Description:[/b] She was a young one eye open girl coming to Florida from Oregon to meet with a group called The Coven. She was passing by a graveyard one afternoon when she saw a chunk of wood with a strange energy around it. No sooner had she picked it up than a voice began to ask her for help. She asked how she could help, but instead of an answer she felt a rage bellow from the wood and saw her own body fly away from her. Her own body then said "I'm sorry" and fled. As an apparition, she still looks exactly as she did as a human, so exactly how Ashley looks now. Albeit more ghosty, and all the color in her hair and body has been replaced by whites and blues. [b]Extra-Normal Ability:[/B] Apparation - Unknown [/center][/hider] Ok [@Ghost Note] I made Ashley an Abscised to be added later. She has a fairly different story aside from her time alive and is now plagued by flashes of rage. I also made an NPC of the apparition who used to be the controller of Ashley's new body.
