In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Avery is slim, curvy, five-foot, and four and a half. Her body is lithe from all the dancing she likes to do-a healthy meal of ballroom, with a side or contemporary and jazz, hold the ballet. Her creamy skin and the dark auburn-brown hair inheirited from her irish mother, set off her amber eyes, which glow in the dark sometimes. Her skin is unmarked, except for the tattoo that winds across her left shoulder.

Clothing Style:
Avery likes to wear regular t-shirts, and sometimes halter tops for when it's hot. She mainly wears jeans and lightweight combat boots for regular use, and you'll never see her without her leather jacket. Her type of style is mostly whatever's comfortable, band shirts, and she really likes the steampunk styles.

Habits:

• Humming lyrics while she works.
• Occasionally uses dance footwork to worm her way through crowded spaces.
• Draws on her hands and arms.

Personality:

♦ Fierce ♦ Playful ♦ Creative ♦ Protective

Avery can be fierce and sometimes scary, a trick inherited from her mother, but is usually playful and relaxed. Although some people see her as never taking anything serious, she actually is just trying to laugh because she prefers it to crying. She is creative with how she pulls her pranks, as well as new improvements made to weapons and other items, and is very protective of herself and others when threatened, verbally or physically. She usually has many friends, but only a few are close to her, because she has had issues trusting people in the past.

Background:
Avery lived in Englewood, New Jersey until she was ten years old, when she moved to New York because her mother wanted a change of scenery (or at least, that's what she said), and had a job offer to be a tattooist. She helped her mother with tattoo ideas, and was allowed to go to her workplace after school. Her mom's boss saw no harm in letting her learn how to be a tattooist, and when she turned sixteen she was allowed to work there.

Extra:
She has a two year old Doberman named Bellezza that she raised from seven weeks old by hand.
hephaestus helped her create a motorcycle that can fly through the air.

Godly Information

Godly Parent:
Hephaestus

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Mutual interest in motorcycles, and mutual respect for one another.

Godly Abilities:
-Can fix any broken vehicle (chariots, cars, motorcycles, etc.).
-Manipulate fire.
-Impervious to high temperatures (high summer doesn't affect her like most people).
-Fire Eyes; the ability to make her eyes glow like flames to see in the dark.

@IrishAngelQueen

Not bad overall, but a couple of things:

-More detail on the following sections:

• Personality
  
  • If you could, explain some more about how she is with each trait. Or at least extend it to 1-2 more paragraphs.
• Bio
  
  • Same for powers here, but just explain her life out a bit more. The bio section needs to be two paragraphs, anyways.
• Godly powers
  
  • For the powers, I want it to have some explanation of what she can or can't do. Like, how much fire can she manipulate? How much control does she have over it? Can she create fire or can she only manipulate already existing fire? What can she manipulate it in to? Like, can she form blasts, constructs and the like? If so, how large/small are they and how long can they stay active until time takes its toll?
  • For the high temperatures ability, I need a range of how hot is too hot for her. I get that she's Hephaestus' daughter, but there must be a temperature where it's just too hot for her. Even if nothing, I need some kind of explanation there.
  • As for the fire eyes, how far in the dark can she see? Is there a limit of how far ahead of her she can see? Also, can she make out things that are naturally invisible in the dark, such as a chameleon or those with the power of invisibility? Also, I need a decent explanation of how she turns it on/off.

Fix what I mentioned and she's accepted.

Habits:

Personality:

♦ hellbent ♦ melancholical ♦ subversive ♦ philosophical

Raymond doesn't think very highly of himself. Neither does he of anybody else. He might come of as a bully, as he feels the need to 'speak his mind'. He is truthful in the way that what he says is his truth. He is lead by his instincts. His feelings, his gut. Unlike most of his siblings, Raymond isn't a typical cupido. He isn't a shining rainbow of love, or a sexual sensation, not a symbol of unconditional affection, not lust personified. No. But he ís a temptation. A dark one.

This guy will question your motives with a heads on tirade, whenever he feels there is injustice or dishonesty going on somewhere.
That's probably the reason why he felt so much resistance in his life and feels like the world is against him.
He needs his safe places, his habits, his retraite.

Background:
Raymond's father couldn't settle with any other woman after he had been with the godess of love herself. So in his life, Ray saw a lot of potential substitution mothers, come and go. When ray was six, he turned into a little black goat. That was when his dad decided to tell him he was aphrodite's son. Back then, Ray was still at the age of everything being plausible, so it was never really weird for him. Santa was still real as well at the time. When he was eight, one of his dad's girlfriends confessed to him that she liked to watch candles. And fires in general. And how they consumed everthing. An hour later, their house was burning down. The woman was laughing hysterically. They moved to another town. When he was thirteen, he found out he was the only guy in class having no trouble with girls. One of his female teachers that he had a crush on, was later fired for kissing a minor, which was also a student. His father didn't know who was the victim here and had a hard time talking to his son about all this. When he was seventeen, Ray got caught dealing drugs. His father told him that it might be better if Ray left for a place where 'he could be more himself'. Ray still suspects his father of meaning: 'a place where he doesn't cause any trouble'
And now he's here. He visits his dad sometimes in the holidays.

Extra: He works at the campus café
favorite god changed to hades. Especially if it's Alan Brody.

Godly Information

Godly Parent: Aphrodite

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Not so well. Raymond doesn't feel acknowledged by his godly mother. As he doesn't exactly represent her values. Aphrodite doesn't give him much attention

Godly Abilities:

black sheep of the family: At will, Raymond can turn himself into a bull-sized ferocious black ram. Any form in between human and ram is also possible.

Hider

Aphrodisiaca:Raymond honors his middle name by actually being able to brew a lovepotion. But that is just one of the uses and forms. He can influence emotions of people through substances or objects. The requirements are: 1) he has to touch it first 2) then the person has to ingest, touch or inhale it. Could be hard sometimes. Could be simple. The medium for instance, could be smoke.

Tell me your secrets/ Come to the dark side: Raymond has an aura about him, if he chooses it, that makes people confess their hidden desires and fantasies. Their boundaries evaporate. It turns them to a more primal state. It starts with confessing what they secretly want. The longer they are exposed, the more likely the chance that they will turn it into action. While people are in this state, Ray can make a fitting suggestion that gives him minor control over their actions.
Most of the time he has it 'switched off' for the sake of normal contact with people. Plus on school grounds, he has been forbidden to use it.

An interesting take on a Son of Aphrodite.

Delving Deeper

|Personality|

♦ Funny ♦ Athletic ♦ Friendly ♦ Smart ♦

Katalina is of a playful nature, much like the sea otters that inhabit the ocean she loves so much. She has a quick set of humor and usually is good with the comebacks. She is athletic when it comes to swimming, being on a swim team pretty much year round. She was scouted for the Olympics at one point. She is a very outgoing person, who trys to make friends with whomever she can. She is also very smart, routinely making the honor roll at school.

Katalina is also known for being very out of the closest with her sexuality, and does not hide the fact that she likes girls. This has caused her to come into conflict with some people that are not so approving. However, she takes many of the insults in stride, ‘like water off a duck’s back.’

|History|

Katalina was born into the Hargrave family of Verona, the local groceries. She was the first and only child to her parents, so they spoiled her as much as they could, while balancing it out with an appreciation for what she had, while others did not have the same comfort she did.

Her parents signed Kata up for swim lessons at a young age and she took to them like a fish in water. She excelled at it, and soon was swimming as much as she could. She joined the local swim team and pretty much did that as her sport for years. Her skills got her scouted for the Olympics, but she turned down the opportunity. As much as she loved swimming and competing, she never really wanted to make it a career.

As she grew older, Katalina realized that she was not into guys like many of her female classmates, finding her eyes drawn to those same classmates. She soon came out as gay to her parents, and while they struggled a bit at first, they soon came to love and accept their daughter. They proudly hang a rainbow flag from their store in support.

Katalina took up cooking in high school, enjoying it immensely. She also took up playing video games at night, when she had time.

|Family|

The Hargraves are the owners/ operators of one of Verona’s local groceries. They always have the freshest produce, and even fresher meat. (Some provided by the Wilcox’s.) They are known for being honest, and fair with their prices.

Katalina lives in a lovely two story house, that while she doesn’t see as extravagant, others might.

Molly Hargave: Mother, age 45. Molly is a very lovely woman who helps run the local grocers. Very friendly and open, and accepts many of Kata’s friends as her adopted children.

Henry Hargave: Father, age 47. Henry, while a man of few words, is a very nice man, who always makes sure his customers walk away happy.

Bast: Cat, age 2. Bast is Katalina’s lovely two year old female cat.

My Superpower

|Power Name|

Hydrokinesis.

|Power Descrption|

The ability to manipulate and move water.

|Abilities|

What it says on the tin. Katalina can manipulate and move water. This does include making it so she has an air bubble underwater so she can stay under for longer periods of time. She can use water to ‘wear’ things down, but this is rather time consuming, and honestly, water whips are more fun!

|Drawbacks/Weaknesses|

Prolonged use of her power will give her nosebleeds and headaches. Too much will cause blackouts. She can not automatically breath water, despite what some may think. She can still drown. If there is no water for her to manipulate, she is powerless. She can not manipulate humans using the water inside them. (Not that’d she want to. Ew.) Her power does make her more weak to lightning and electricity.

LocationCelina's Office

---

---

As she sat in her office, Celina was one happy woman right now. She was drinking a glass of red wine as she gloated about how everything was falling into place. Her plan was coming along smoothly. She got rid of Mark and sent him to god-knows where, most of the Demigods and Demigoddesses that she and a few close within the organization she works for have been secured in The Facility. On top of that, no one even has a clue that she was the one behind it. They all thought that she was attacked by the kidnappers and she somehow got away. If only they knew that she really was the one who fabricated the entire plot against Olympus Academy.

Beginning to stand up, Celina felt the ground shake. It was much more than just a light shake, though. She saw her desk start to travel from its position, the chandelier hanging from the ceiling started to come loose, and all of the paintings hung up fell instantly, the frame breaking upon impact. As for Celina herself, she could feel her footing starting to slip and face-first she went, her wine spilling over her hair as it followed her.

“What could be the cause of this?” She asked herself, looking around her office as it continued to be destroyed by the earthquake. Thinking about it more, Celina knew what the source could be. There was only one student who had the power to cause earthquakes of this magnitude. “Rozalia Éathliel is the only one.” Celina cursed out loud.

She didn’t know why Roze was causing this earthquake. Even though the girl’s quite the prankster, Celina was finding it hard that she would suddenly want to cause mayhem to the academy. As far as the headmistress knew, Roze liked it at Olympus Academy. Something must’ve happened to warrant the girl to lose control of her powers like this.

“But hell if I know why.” Celina cursed herself again.

As Celina was about to get up, she heard a knocking on her door.

“Celina! Are you alright?” John asked through the door. He sounded worried.

Grunting as she finally got up, Celina felt her joints tighten. “Aside form a killer headache, I’m fine.” She said loudly back to John.

“Do you need me to come in?” John asked worringly.

Celina was about to speak, but out of a dark corner she saw someone. Her expression went from painful annoyance to just flat out annoyance. “No, I’m fine. Go check on the other students. I’m sure they’ll need you and the other professors more than I do.” She said with a fake laugh.

“Alright.” John said, doing as Celina said.

Sighing, Celina pulled a chair nearby and placed it right up. She then sat on it cross-legged. “So, how long have you been there, Anderson?”

“Since John started talking.” Anderson said, stepping out from the darkness, his mask off, revealing the face of a Hispanic man with short black hair and a goatee.

“I see,” Celina said, “so, why have you come here? I hope there aren’t any problems at The Facility?” Celina asked Anderson.

“No, there isn’t, but you have trouble here.” Anderson said directly.

Celina arched an eyebrow. “What does that mean, exactly?” She asked.

“It means that our plans have been discovered.” Anderson said.

The slightly amused expression on Celina’s face was gone as soon as Anderson stopped talking. “What do you mean they were discovered? By who? When? How?” She asked desperately.

“Oh, when you took it upon yourself to make that power play and kill Mark.” He informed her, “as to who and how, well that’s obvious right? A certain daughter of Poseidon must have eavesdropped on you at some point and told everyone.” Anderson said.

“Daughter of Poseidon? You mean Roze? She couldn’t possibly be that smart?” Celina actually sounded dumbfounded. To think the queen of pranks herself had the street smarts to do that.

“Whether she is or isn’t, we traced a text to her phone that included not only proof of your…foolish play, but that it had copies of it,” Anderson told her.

“Damn it!” She roared. “Damn it to Hades! How could I have been so foolish?!” Celina was livid with anger. Not only at Roze, but at herself as well. “She’s going to pay.” Celina vowed to get Roze.

“Had I foreseen that she was able to cause such a strong earthquake, I would have never attempted to snatch her up without taking precautions.” Anderson admitted to Celina.

Celina was surprised. Anderson was never one to get his hands dirty. That’s why he had Celina to do all of the actual kidnapping. “Did you at least catch her?” Celina asked.

Anderson just looked at Celina. “Does it look like I have her with me? No. She got away.”

“Why didn’t you go after her.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was a little busy trying to survive a close-range earthquake.”

“You can drop the smartass attitude. This is serious.” Celina said.

Anderson sighed. “You don’t think I know that? I attempted to grab her, she lost control of her powers, and now she’s probably going to be extra cautious, especially around adults. Even worse than that, she’s probably going to start telling the other students.”

“What are you trying to suggest?”

“What I’m trying to suggest is that, if you keep playing this ruse of being some innocent headmistress, you run a high risk of being found out. What I’m trying to suggest is that you need to act first before these entitled brats all find out who you really are and decide to do something about it.” Anderson said, pausing. “Listen, Celina, if you don’t do something quick, the entire operation would have been all for nothing. Those months of planning, of carefully plotting the kidnapping of the Gods and Goddesses’ children would be for nothing if one little girl decides to squeal. You need to locate her, and eliminate her.” He said, turning around. “If you don’t,” he said, looking at her, “there just might be some consequences that you might not like.”

Just as soon as he said that, Anderson was gone from sight, no dobut going back to the Facility.

Celina sat in her chair. The words that Anderson spoke was played on repeat in her mind. She knew he wasn’t lying. For as long as she has been with the organization, they didn’t hand out threats lightly. If they had to say such things, then Celina must really be on her last leg.

“She’s got to die — and I know just who to call.”
