Looks great! I don't have much nitpicking to do. I was on the fence about the levitation, but why not. It might as well be a technique. I'm just going to remind you of the timeline. The comet arrived ten years ago, which would put your character at 16 years old at the time. Your Chronicle is vague enough to fit with any scenario here, but right now it seems like your character was going to become an Aeon even without the comet event, which is totally fine. Am I right in this? I'm just curious. Here is your character image for scale: i.imgur.com/3ynKZf0.png . Put it in the character tab with your character sheet. Was the code for the character sheet difficult to copy? I can fix it for you, if you want.


I totally spaced on the code but I fixed it! I can always remove the levitation if necessary, no biggie. By saying her mother didn't notice her powers until almost adulthood, the idea I had was that she may have had some inkling of powers before age 16, but when the comet hit, the really noticeable powers manifested. Gonna post the fixed cs in the tab :)

Helena is a peaceful person first and foremost. She enjoys time alone, cups of tea, and the smell of morning fog in the forest. Her favorite season is Autumn and she finds herself most happy when surrounded by nature. It's not that she hates people though. In fact she loves them very much. She loves animals and plants as well. Helena loves books and quiet and often finds the real world so terrible she likes to escape, pretending her daydreams are real. Helena has enormous empathy. She hates seeing anyone or anything in pain or suffering. It's as if it is physically causing her pain to see others in pain. She is most driven by a desire to live in peace, and a desire to heal the world around her. She does care about herself to a degree, but cares about everyone else much more. Because of her personality, she is seen as a bit careless, idealistic, and too soft for this world at times. She likes to take her time with things and not rush, and tries to maintain a positive attitude. She has a tendency to get on some people's nerves because she doesn't like death, urgency, or complaining.

Helena's mother is a scientist within the UDF currently. Her mother has been involved with high value contracts related to energy since Helena was a small child. She never knew her father and never had siblings, so she was left with babysitters, or to her own devices. Even when left with sitters, Helena would escape and run to the nearest deserted place until she had satisfied her curiosity, and then return. This rebelliousness (as her mother termed it) caused her to go through a slew of babysitters growing up. She did have a consistent teacher, however, who schooled her at home. She never attended any sort of community school, and instead her mother solidified her isolation from the outside world. This is likely why she enjoys any other living thing so much, to both learn about them and protect them.
Helena's mother never paid her much attention until one day when her loyal tutor, Mrs. Margaret, told Ms. Westerly that her daughter was exhibiting stranger than normal behavior. When Ms. Westerly continued to pry, she learned Helena had told Mrs. Margaret that she could see orbs of light sometimes, and that she would often follow them into the forest. She also talked about having strange abilities where she didn't get hurt, and had healed an injured fawn in the woods.
Finally curious in her own daughter who was nearing adulthood by the time this was discovered, Ms. Westerly asked Helena to demonstrate what she could do. Helena tried to explain that she couldn't always perform at will, but she would try. She showed her mother her ability to heal a cut on her mother's arm just by pressing it with her fingers. She whistled and birds began flocking at the nearest window, begging to come in with loud chirpings. She could also create a sort of forcefield or barrier, but only big enough for herself at the time. Needless to say, her mother was thrilled that her daughter was apparently, an Aeon. Helena was just thrilled to have her mother's attention.
The gleam of feeling treasured did not last long, however. Because of her abilities, Helena was brought into her mother's work and trained. She saw her mother even less than she had prior, and she never saw Mrs. Margaret again. Instead, Helena's days were filled with learning all about the UDF and training to fight. The problem was, Helena wasn't a fighter. She surprisingly complied with training exercises, learning about weaponry and combat, but never intended to put it into true practice. Instead, the spirits within her attracted more, and she was soon able to extend her barrier, heal more severe wounds, levitate off the ground a short distance, and perceive potential threats just through her emotions, also within a short distance (like a sixth sense that something bad was coming up behind her).
Helena was eventually moved to medical and was used there for a couple years. She found working there incredibly boring and yet at the same time, fulfilling because she got to help people. She no longer has any desire to be around her mother, much less please her. All Helena really wants to do is help people, but perhaps have an adventure while doing so rather than sitting in medical, where her reputation was simply that of a healer. Now that Helena is part of the Special Warfare and Reconnaissance Group, she hopes to help in new, and more important ways, and wonders if her reputation is more than what she knows currently.

Helena attracts peaceful spirits and abilities. The amount of spirits within her is currently unknown. She can currently heal a person as long as they aren't dead and the injuries aren't going to kill them any time soon. Helena can create a barrier large enough for about 3 people comfortably. She can touch someone and bring them peace or rest, although she cannot force someone to fall asleep. She can levitate a short distance off the ground and for a short distance in terms of travel, but cannot fly, per se. She can sense things in terms of good or bad, but she questions this ability a lot and seems to ignore it half the time. She also has a weird sense of trust with animals, where they come to her at times and seem to feel safe around her.

Anything about your character or relation to other characters can go in here.

I hope this is ok! (Edited for clarity)
