@The Ghost NoteSo are we gonna get a big happy family tree once we (read: slow bastards like me) get more characters up?
Also, how big do you plan on having the Vanburen family be? We gonna fill the line up with a big, meaty cast of expendable siblings and spouses?
![]() _______________________________________________ Arabelle Marie Matthews She/Her | 23 | English-American | 5’7” | 135 lbs _______________________________________________ Resilient _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "I’m just a teacher who grew up taking care of others." ___________________________________ [Teacher] ⫻ Arabelle is patient, attentive, observant, and inquisitive. These are the traits that she chooses to teach her students to be. She applies these traits to her everyday life. [Stealth] ⫻ Thanks to her abstraction, Arabelle can easily appear and disappear from any situation. Locked doors aren’t a thing to her, unless there is no mirror behind it. | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "My mom tells me I look like her father and my own father combined. As if I knew what either of them looked like." Arabelle is slightly above average in height. She has a curvy build shaped like an hourglass, and is of a healthy weight instead of a flat stomach or thigh gap. Her hair is an auburn color with loose waves that fall just barely down to the middle of her back. She often clips her hair up so that it is out of her way for work, but lets it down while she is helping around the estate. Her face is in the shape of an apple, with light freckles across her cheekbones and nose thanks to her European descent. Her eyes are brown. Arabelle dresses well under the salary of a teacher. She is often in straight ankle jeans, slacks, or knee length skirts. She often tucks satin tanks, sweaters, blouses, or shirts into her pants. She rarely wears heels because she is on her feet all day. Instead she prefers mules, slip on sneakers, chelsea boots, or flats. Arabelle wears long sleeves to cover the scars from her awakening. There are three scars total. Two slashes on her left forearm and one slash on her upper right arm. They are just thin white lines from her past now. |
LIMITS ⫻ Arabelle can only scry on one location at a time, and her ability only works on locations that she has been to. The act of teleportation is more straining the further away she teleports - theoretically, she can teleport any distance long as she has been there, but teleporting far distances will tire her out. Teleporting from one end of Araminta to the other will feel like she just ran a mile at top speed, but say teleporting from one end of the Vanburen manor to the other will be easy.
WEAKNESSES ⫻ If Arabelle teleports through a broken mirror then she'll receive a cut from it. If the mirror is broken while she is inside of it (before she teleports) then Arabelle will be forced out of it and injured in the process.
![]() _______________________________________________ Ezra James Vanburen He/Him | 38| British American | 5’11” | 175 lbs _______________________________________________ Shrewd _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "Everything you do is a reflection of yourself." ___________________________________ [Serious Business] ⫻ With an MBA from an Ivy League school and several years of managing private companies for James, Ezra has the knowledge and experience needed to successfully run a business. Time management, project planning, leadership, and organization skills all fall under the umbrella of Big Business, so while he might not be taking them to market he can still help keep the Vanburens from going into the red. [Networking] ⫻ Ezra is owed favors by many of the small businesses in Araminta and has friends in high places from his time at university. He’s relentless when it comes to getting things from people he knows or finding people for things he needs. [Meticulous] ⫻ Ezra has a sharp eye and is extremely organized. He quickly notices subtle differences and tiny faults. It’s rare for him to be caught off-guard, be unprepared, or appear untidy. [Puzzling Behavior] ⫻ The man has an obsession with puzzles and has the patience and discipline to finish them. He tends to always have a crossword puzzle to pull out every moment there is a hint of downtime, but jigsaws are his favorite. Just about every Vanburen has received one of his finished puzzles as a gift at least once. | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "I used to lie and tell people I was adopted when they said I looked like dad. Always got an interesting reaction." Ezra almost always seems as if he has just awoken from a deep meditation where he achieved inner peace. His calmness is infectious and spread by his dulcet voice and his effortlessly relaxed posture. He’s the kind of person that is impossible to picture running after someone, or dropping something they are carrying, or ever doing that awkward thing where they try to avoid walking into someone only for both of them to juke the same way three or four times. To others, it seems like there isn’t a graceless bone in Ezra’s body. It’s just the most annoying thing ever. His light brown, medium-length hair is well-maintained and styled in a “messy” look that takes an enormous amount of time to achieve. Ezra’s beard is neat and trimmed short with hints of greying nearing his sideburns. His light skin is immaculate and soft to the touch, the signs of someone who properly hydrates and actually pays attention to the recommendation of using sunscreen even on cloudy days. His hooded eyes are big and brown, and when he smiles the skin at the corners wrinkles ever the slightest. Perhaps uncoincidentally, Ezra’s full smile is a bit of a rare sight. Instead he trends towards tight-lipped smirks accompanied by bashful head tilts when pleased and an unblinking, withering stare when unamused. Ezra is of an average height with a decent trim build that is only maintained by a healthy diet, the occasional walk, and the rare trip to a gym that generally starts and does not progress beyond the steam room. Due to his rather lax and posh lifestyle, he is almost cartoonishly weak—or perhaps he plays it up out of sheer laziness, often sending others to fetch things for him just so he can continue to lounge on the chaise. His wardrobe is simple but fits well and is of high quality, with a tendency towards cashmere sweaters. |
![]() _______________________________________________ Nisha Mae Reddy She/Her | 25| British Indian| 5’3” | 110 lbs _______________________________________________ Rush _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "Not bad for a good for nothing." ___________________________________ [Climbing] ⫻ Nisha never got over her days of scrambling to the top of the jungle gym. Over the years, she has slowly transitioned from the relative safety of a rock wall inside of a climbing gym to the exhilarating thrill of free soloing cliffs. If there’s a way to clamber up something, odds are she’ll manage to find it. [Wayfinder] ⫻ The woman has harnessed an incredible sense of direction thanks to years of having to path through nature while heading to a climbing spot. This skill has since translated to urban environments as well. Nisha can easily find her way just about anywhere, including places she has never been but knows their general vicinity. Simply put, Nisha always knows where she is and she always knows where she is heading. [Mixology] ⫻ Nisha started bartending when she was eighteen. It turned into her professional passion and she couldn’t imagine doing anything else for work. Her cocktails are as delicious to drink as they are effective at taking the edge off of a long day. [Cool Head] ⫻ Almost nothing can be said to upset Nisha. She won’t let someone being a jerkoff ruin her day, and she won’t give them the satisfaction of seeing her pissed. | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "Look some of us can’t spend all day prettying ourselves up for the masses." Nisha is a hot mess given human form. She always looks rushed and frazzled as if she woke up thirty minutes late for work with a massive hangover, a dead phone, and missing car keys. Being still is an impossibility for Nisha and she seems almost allergic to sitting down. Her head is constantly on a swivel, either looking for someone coming after her or something to go after, and when she isn’t running her mouth she’s probably running off after the latest distraction. Nisha is the person you think would be fun to party with but your gut says she’d show up two hours late, already drunk, ready to throw up on your couch. She has a petite frame but rather fit build with the toned muscles required of someone who regularly decides that scaling a cliff is a good idea of fun. Her skin is brown, her hands are rough beyond repair, and her limbs are regularly shrouded by a variety of cuts and bruises from her haphazard lifestyle. Her black hair falls just below her shoulders but is often pulled back into a loose, messy ponytail. Her eyes are a deep dark brown and always look as if she had been up all night. There is a small scar on her chin from a fall she can’t even remember, and another blending to her hair on her right temple from something she wishes she could forget. For someone who looks like they probably would’ve busted a few out, she actually has almost perfectly straight teeth. Nisha dresses in highlighter bright colors. Her wardrobe is ninety percent athleisure and she never dresses properly for any occasion, be it a matter of ill taste like wearing a black tracksuit with swishy legs to a funeral or ill prepared like a crop top and compression shorts during a cold autumn day. Her arms are weighed down with cheap, jangly bracelets that alert others of her arrival like the bell on a cat’s collar. Her nails are painted a bubblegum pink. She talks loudly with a rapid-fire, rhythmic pace, almost as if she’s spitting a verse instead of saying a sentence, and has a Scouse accent. |
LIMITS ⫻ Naturally, Emotional-Fields protect the Extra-Normal from some of the nastier effects of his spells like being shrunk, strangled, and so forth. Ezra can only have one type of spell cast at one time, and if he has cast Configure and he wants to cast Masterpiece; then he'll have to drop Configure. His imbuing spells have a range limit and if he goes further than twelve meters from an object or person that he has imbued with his magic then it'll revert back to normal.
WEAKNESSES ⫻ It seems that improving objects have a cost, that Erza has to give something. To make something a masterpiece, he weakens himself in the process. He finds that he has shortness of breath, that he's a lot more susceptible to pain, not as strong as usual, and so on. He finds out this debuff is active as long as he has the spell going. The Configure spell changes Erza's weight, as making an object larger makes him heavier, and making an object smaller makes him lighter - easier to toss around and stuff.
LIMITS ⫻ Creating the limbs and stretching them is an enormous drain on energy. While she can create these limbs fairly fast, over time she'll end up exhausted.
WEAKNESSES ⫻ The arms are weak against two different types of damage: slashing and electrical damage. A blade or knife can easily cut through the arms, while electricity can travel through it and electrocute Nisha.

![]() _______________________________________________ Alexander Karamazov Vanburen Him/He | 28 | Russian-American | 5'8" | 165 lbs _______________________________________________ Inquisitive _______________________________________________ Skills & Talents "What I have here is a symphony of melancholy sorrow and a crescendo of madness." ___________________________________ High Intellect Musician ⫻ Alexander is a skilled musician and composer, having been a first chair violinist, the pianist of his church, and an occasional singer. He has also composed multiple works, most of which are orchestral pieces, though he also plays covers of famous songs on his YouTube channel. Unarmed Combatant ⫻ His late paranoid mother had him trained in self defense classes after a bout of school bullying. Thus, Alexander has been trained in a Krav Maga program. While by no means a master of it, he can hold well on his own. | Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ "Bozhe moi. I look good." Alexander considers himself humble and does not say it aloud, but there is no denying that he has an attractive look. He possesses blue eyes, though they seem to be grey from a different angle. To add to that, he has chestnut colored hair that he usually styles with a sideward wipe, though sometimes he just lets it grow long enough to cover his ears. At times, he would dye them white or grey, though his co workers usually disapprove of it, and he has thus usually refrained from doing so. Much of the time, he seems to be grumpy as he will not smile at strangers, but this is only because of his Russian upbringing, and could be noted to be rather boisterous when in the company of friends and family. He dresses well, usually having a black or grey jacket over a t-shirt of a color of his choosing. He is slightly below average in terms of height, though he likes it that way. Alexander wears a necklace with a silver cross around his neck all of the time, and often keeps a pair of black leather gloves on his hands. On his wrists are a pair of segmented platinum bracelets. |
@The Man Emperor Now there's a few things that come to mind about Alexander. Literally, the first thing that comes to mind about him is that I feel as if he overlaps a bit with Shane - with them both being cops and they more or less have the same skills (though I think it's iffy a forensics guy would carry a gun). I feel like Alexander could have some traits that set him apart - that's another thing, there isn't really a whole lot to his character other than the fact that he's a cop in Russia. You could look at some of the other character sheets and try to see what I mean, I want characters with depth and personality over ability.
Also, you got his type wrong, he's definitely not an Awakened. He seems to either be an Affixed or an Agent, but I feel like you could go a bit more in-depth with that. Like the Truth Seeker just... randomly latches onto him conveniently at that moment? It kinda seems contrived, at best.
