Eyeris

Titans of Earth

Hello. Hope it is not super late, I just like to take my time on my CS's. If the group is full I can certainly revamp the character as a villain if the team is full.

Edit: Also, my preferred name is just Eyeris. :3
~~~
Alias: Ponder

Secret ID: Magara Amachi

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Nationality: Turkish

Physical Description: Small of stature and frame, Magara, still growing stands at 4’8”. She has deep brown skin the color of cocoa, and soft grey eyes framed by long lashes. Her hair is ink black, and grows in tight nappy curls. When left to its own devices it creates a soft cottony halo around her head, long enough to brush against her shoulders. More often than not it is carefully tucked under a scarf, braided, or otherwise arranged to keep the unruly growth in check.

She has a soft body, seeming fragile. She does not exercise or train as the others on her team might. She isn’t quite pretty yet. As a teenage girl she is still growing and still waiting for all her proportions to catch up to one another. Her limbs and torso and curves not all in the right place yet. If that was not frustrating enough, perhaps a crop of pimples might arise on her brow, and as soon as she has exfoliated those away, another might crop up around her chin. Despite all these teenage hiccups she has the makings of a lovely woman. She has a pleasing round face, high cheekbones, her rare smile is gentle and kind.

General Personality: Most remark that Magara is quiet and shy. In social situations she is hesitant to assert herself, often preferring to observe or play a socially supportive role to the group leaders. When she does speak it is often something soft and sensitive, something agreeable.

When others open up to her, even if they have not known her for a long time, they feel as though she understands how they feel. This is because she literally does due to her Titan powers. Magara can’t seem to avoid this relationship with others, and has resigned herself to it. Magara is a girl accustomed to taking the back seat, being spoken over, being dependent on others, and allowing them to make decisions for her.

She does enjoy the company of a select few, but does crave a certain amount of solitude to process her own feelings and emotions. She is an introvert by nature and by necessity.

Sexual Orientation: Undecided. She has never dated before and when interacting with another person does not necessarily trust that her feelings and her preferences are her own.

Powers/Abilities:

Titan Powers:

1. Empathy: Her powers have to do with emotions and feelings. The more basic the emotion the easier it is to pick up on. This includes both physical and emotional. For example, if you are around Magara and you stub your toe, she is going to feel it to (her own toe will hurt). If you are around Magara and you are feeling angry Magara is going to know about it (she will feel angry). If there are not to many people around she will know who is feeling what. She will not know why, she will not know who you are angry at, nor if you are going to take any action based on that anger. It works almost like traditional telepathy, except that rather than reading the thoughts of others she reads their feelings.

2. Empathetic Field - Her power is empathetic, or sympathetic. She can feel the emotions the physical sensations of others around her. The ‘relaxed’ range of her senses is about two meters. Meaning without any effort she can sense any people around her within ten feet and their most prominent emotion. With a small effort she can extend it to twenty feet and sense any people and their most prominent emotion within five meters. With great effort she might be able to reach farther, but it is much easier for her to explore the range of emotion of those already within the field.

This makes her useful as part of her team for it is very difficult to sneak up on her if she is alone or with a small group of people. If she is in a crowd it is much more difficult for her to discern where a particular emotion is coming from.

3. Empathetic “Steal”: She can take a particular feeling from one person and transfer it into herself. For example if someone is very sad she can temporarily relieve that sadness, or if someone is in pain she can temporarily relieve their pain, or fatigue, or fear. This can be useful in the team in a number of ways. For example if a team member is debilitated by pain she can temporarily relieve it until proper medical help arrives (Possible nickname: Advil). This power requires her to be touching the one she is “stealing” from.

Human Abilities:

1. Well read: All in braille and Audio, she is very well read. She reads across genres and subject matters. She is hardly a genius, simply a hobby that has gives her some cultural advantages. A knowledge general base of sorts, she reads the paper every day, and eats through the latest trendy books.

2. Bilingual: Fluent in Turkish and English, and somewhat handy with Arabic and French.

3. One well trained dog: I’m including Carl in this section because he is important. Without Carl Magara would be quite impaired by her ability. Carl is her seeing eye dog, and allows her to function much more gracefully. His guidance and training are what keep her from being truly disabled. Carl is very well trained, and is a retired military dog. Carl was adopted by Magara and he was adapted to be her service dog. Her own power has made their relationship more effective than the average service dog. Most seeing eye dogs lead their humans around by way of a harness, Magara can sense where Carl is around her, and therefore does not need the harness. She finds that Carl, and all animal emotions, are much gentler on her psyche. Carl with his natural senses can detect things that Magara can not. It is not a direct link, she does not perceive what he does, but she will sense if he becomes worried over a smell (or happy if it happens to be a cheeseburger) or sound that she can not sense. In addition to his service training with Magara, in the military Carl was specifically trained for bomb-detection and search-and-rescue. With his military training Carl is very brave, he does not shy away from loud noises or violence, much calmer than your average dog. Many military dogs suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, however Carl is lucky enough to have Magara at his side, and she easily quells any symptoms that may arise.

In general, her powers and abilities make her most effective in a support role.

Weaknesses:

Titan Weaknesses:

1. Crowds: The more people within the scope of her field, the less effective her powers become. Things become ‘blurry’ or ‘overlap’ and her ability to pinpoint where a particular emotion is coming from virtually disappears. Crowds also prove to be a disadvantage if everyone around her is feeling a similar negative emotion all at once she can become overwhelmed. For example, this will not be a problem at a New Years Eve party where everyone is feeling good and in a celebratory mood. However, if she is in a crowd during an earthquake and everyone becomes extremely frightened all at once she will find herself swept up in their emotions.

2. Children: The emotions of children are the most difficult to deal with. Adults have inhibitions, they have had years to develop their regime of repression, they have read their self help books, maybe gone to therapy, have a few beers after work, and have found their various methods of coping with stress, distracting themselves, and simply 'dealing'. Children don’t have these yet. Babies are fine, and often pleasant to be around. Toddlers, however, are a massive headache emotionally! Plus most are either afraid of dogs or want to treat them like a stuffed toy which complicates the situation with Carl. Throw a toddler in the room and watch her fumble!

3. Meditation: People who have developed an effective meditation practice can use that particular state of mind to mask their emotions from her. She once visited a Buddhist temple and tripped over a monk in meditation, she could not detect his presence at all!

Human Weaknesses:

1. She is legally blind: Though her powers help her figure out where the other people in the room are, it does not help her know where the walls or furniture or inorganic matter is. She will require her dog and her cane if she is to maneuver effectively through space.

2. Timid: Reluctant to assert herself, and accustomed to depending on others, she is more likely to do what is asked of her without question.

3. Frail: Without any combat training or stress exercise regime, she is not physically fit or as physically or strong. She can take a beating emotionally, but don’t ask her to do much heavy lifting… or stand up to a direct hit easily.

Weapon & Equipment:

White Cane: It is a retractable cane with a loop on the end. Usually attached to her wrist in it’s small baton-like-state she can easily extend it to be a cane as needed. It is also pretty tough, if she ever needs to hit anyone with it.

Carl: Always nearby. He wears a service-dog-vest that doubles as a pack. He carries everything important in his pockets. Money, keys, cell phone (He’s kind of a purse dog), and any other items essential to the mission at hand.

The New York Academy of the Magic Arts.

"Cursed me? Haha no... Jack... um... I actually lost track of him..." She grabbed a book of the shelf and buried her nose in it. It was called The nearest star She didn't like lying to her friends. She only didn't want them to know about her condition.. Her brows knit together as she realized what she was reading. It was a book book written by a muggle scientist. "Why does the Professor have this?" She wondered. Was he muggle born? She had noticed his muggle electronics on more than one occasion. Suffice to say, she was genuine and sufficiently distracted to forget the guilt of the lie entirely.

She put down the book (but kept the page with her thumb) and listened to Richard's story.

She tilted her head at Addie's suggestion, (She also fumbled her book, and lost her place).

"I think a visit to your place would be fun, yet, I do not know if we should really be following a vampire..."

Insofar the club had treated this mystery like a fun scavenger hunt. Something to make innocent innocuous theories over, and maybe learn some magic in the first place. River wondered if they were stepping out of their bounds, out of saftey, and into something over the top.

Would they find some new evidence? Something that the Aurors did not know?

Yet, now that she thought of it, it was never really a game... real people were still missing.

"I just... It might be dangerous... do you think the Aurors have interviewed him yet?"

Sorry also, I might need a hiatus, my boyfriend broke up with me and i'm having a hard time dealing, and may need to move... @.@;

Land of the Ancients: Return of Elderic

I'm going officially step out of this one. Sorry guys. I think this one may be past the point of salvation anyway. But I did try ;-; all the characters in this one are really awesome, maybe we can re-vamp it one day. :D

Swords of a Master

She had traded most of her goats for the supplies they needed for their journey. The rest she gifted to young headers, they were all grateful and wished her well. It was harder than she had imagined to leave the heard behind, and even the mountain itself. The goats and the mountain wind had always been her constant companions...

Yet, she had been defeated in a duel, so, it seemed the goddess willed it that her life change. Now she shared the wilderness with a woman...

... and horses.

They rode the horses. It took her some time to get used to the beasts. She concluded that they were inferior to goats in every way. Save if the contest was one of speed across flat-lands. Which, apparently, the rest of the world was made from. So, was ones strength only relevant to particular abilities? Or was it fair to judge, as the Dan did, upon the things that mattered most?

As she questioned her own deffenitions of 'strength' (something the goddess apparently encouraged her to do) she let the forest slide by in silence. It was the best way to experience nature, in silence and deep thought.

She decided finally, that if it came to a real fight, the goats would triumph.

Yet, she could not begrudge her steed it's own nature. So she stroked her mane affectionately and lead her around a rotting log (that the goats would have easily hopped over!). She had been walking beside her horse for some time now. The pace was a bit slower, but the girl felt more comfortable that way. It was necessary anyhow, as the horses needed rest (they had far less endurance than the goats!)

Naira followed Gabriel the victorious, Gabriel followed the map that had been drawn by their broken swords and the goddess's breath. They did not know where they were headed, nor what they might find. Though, at this particular moment, Naira was ahead of Gabriel.

She squinted and peered ahead. "I think I see something ahead... there." She pointed with her sword, her new sword. This had been given to her that fateful day her life had changed. Both women had their pick, of course, the previous owners of the swords were honored by the goddess herself to admit their weapon to another. Naira chose a fine sturdy blade with animals painted into the hilt in orange. Naira was unsure exactly which animals were drawn, they curled around one another and big each others legs and tails, they created an intricate knot, you could not tell who was winning or loosing in their quarrel.

Narnia: A time of need (Eyeris & Raven)

Lysander bowed his head to the King and his lady "Indeed, and goodnight. I know when I am no longer needed." He smiled then stood, stiffly, and left to retire.

'Best let them enjoy their time together while they still may. The more they grow attached to one another the easier they will be to manipulate...'

Meanwhile, Caspian sighed. He felt reassured as Celine's hand coiled around his own. "Celine... I shall with all my heart strive to be worthy of your trust and faith." He turned to her. "I only wish that it was not this tragedy that had brought you to the shores of Narnia..." Their hands clasped, her voice was soft and affectionate. "I will fight for you and your people, summon Aslan, and save your people because it is right... but I also harbor a selfish hope in my heart that... after we find peace we might... spend more time... together..."

He could feel his heartbeat in his ears. He remembered the mouse urging him to be forward with the girl, and declare his intentions honorably. Yet, here, holding hands, alone, their eyes locked, wasn't it obvious? Yet... if it was so obvious, and the words so certain, why were the so hard to say?

Frankly, it was hard to say anything at all. He was trapped by her gaze now, helpless. He felt like he was a stranded ship set afire whilst crashing against the rocks. Wasn't there something more gallant he could say? Poetic? He was the king of Narnia and this was the best he could manage?

"... if you would like."

Boo! That tuition should be on lock-down! It's only allowed get less expensive...

Land of the Ancients: Return of Elderic

Haven gasped as the weapons were drawn. She recoiled from Mal, the warrior, and clung to Ada.

"We-We don't have to fight... do we?" She wondered aloud. She suspected that inky green skeleton monster ere not the only danger in the world... yet... was a grumpy door-man an obstacle worthy of a weapon?

"P-Please, Sir." She squeaked. "It is very important... She tried to make eye contact with the surly orc doorman. "O-our village was destroyed by m-magic monsters and w-were just trying to find our p-parents." Haven figured that the truth would be enough to smooth over their way. She imagined that luck was on her side.

This is what Haven would say if she weren't flung aside by the orc as he moved in to fight Mal. Or perhaps he'd ignore her and tell them off. She'd hold her breath as she explained, and begged. She knew nothing of city-life or the world outside the village. So she spoke to the doorman as she would have one of her neighbors, she didn't know another way... in fact... if it were not for his green skin, crooked nose, and eyebrow mole, she could imagine[i/] that this man was actually Maret the tanner. That small thought made her anxiety melt away...

Her gaze faltered and landed upon her own feet as she felt her eyes begin to sting. "I-I wish there was something we could do for you, or pay you in exchange for letting us in... but everything is gone, its all burned... I'd say I'd [i]owe you a river-cabbage... but... I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back home and harvest more... If the cabbages are not all burned..." Her eyebrows knit together and she stepped toward the door. "I'm sorry Mal is angry... but... We've had a hard day... And we've not had any food nor rest after it happened... We just need to find someone that we know here, please... I don't know what else we can do... Can you help us?"
