  • 'The Wendigo' - a young man who is the latest bearer of the Wendigo Spirit that has haunted his family for a century, and who comes into contact with other supernatural beings who see the power of the Wendigo as an enforcer, a bargaining chip, an admired specimen, and a path to power and immortality - all while struggling with the Wendigo itself.

Aava left home to discover her history; now, she returns to safeguard her future.

No trust funds, no Waynetech, no Batcave, but still a formidable, awe-inspiring vanguard for justice, who's actions quickly destablise Gotham and catalyze radical change for the entire city.

Appearance Details
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Elwood's minimalist, monochrome fashion sense is self-tailored to understate (or perhaps underscore) the unique peculiarities of his facial structure afforded to him by his mixed-race heritage - Egyptian on his father's side, and Native American on his father's. His sharp cheekbones and large eyes give him a naturally piercing, inquisitive stare, and many people have felt uncomfortable under his gaze, as if he were silently unearthing all of their secrets or, more accurately, sizing them up for a meal.

Due to his pre-existing condition, Elwood does tend to shy away from much of the social interaction his day-to-day offers him, seceding from others as his anxiety and possession overruns him - as such, his body language and general posture is nearly always reserved and defensive. There are very few people he is open with, and no one he completely relaxes around.

Personality
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
An insight to the character's psyche, how they think, feel and process the world around them. This should include their likes and dislikes, examples of how they react to situations and other like elements that attribute to their personality. This should be at least two paragraphs.
Character Synopsis
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Introduction to the character, their history and primarily their motivations for engaging in vigilantism and using their abilities or skills to help the city. This should be no shorter than two paragraphs but can as long beyond that as you wish depending on your style of story telling.

Abilities & Skills
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
//Abilities:
◼ WENDIGO POSSESSION | Like his mother before him and his grandfather before her, and on and on, Elwood is possessed by the spirit of the Wendigo, an ancient force from North American legend. While the spirit's full power is locked away by Elwood's resistance to being overrun, its mere inheritance of his body lends certain boons and drawbacks.

◼ Supernatural Durability | The Wendigo's skin can be likened to ancient stone - old, superficially cracked, but immeasurably strong. While Elwood has absolute control, he retains only a small portion of the Wendigo's true invulnerability, as well as its resistance to cold temperature, but as the spirit wrestles more and more control over Elwood's body, the Wendigo's skin is soon able to withstand harder and harder blows, until it cannot be harmed at all.

◼ Supernatural Senses | As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's senses are enhanced to more befit an apex predator. Eyesight gets more accurate and motion-based, and Elwood's hearing and sense of smell also dramatically improve. Elwood does not experience any of these improvements while he has full control.

◼ Supernatural Agility | As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood is able to utilize incredible bursts of speed to leap great distances, dodge incoming obstacles, or clamber up buildings. The Wendigo often employs this agility to perch in a hidden spot, remaining perfectly still before pouncing on unsuspecting prey. Elwood does not experience this enhanced agility while he has full control.

◼ Supernatural Strength | As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's strength ramps up, allowing him to lift men single-handedly, stop cars and motorcycles, punch dents into brickwork, and smash through obstacles with frightening ease. Elwood does not experience this enhanced strength while he has full control.

◼ Supernatural Physiology | As the Wendigo gains control, Elwood's body twists and morphs to better suit the predator that is taking over. His mouth splits and enlarges, growing fangs while the jaw unhooks itself in order to open wider, while his pupils dilate and his sclera turns black. Elwood's limbs stretch out, his body becoming emaciated as mass is transferred, and his skin grows white and cold, while talons spring from his hands and feet. The stronger the Wendigo's possession becomes, the further the transformation goes, but these changes are lost as Elwood enforces his will upon the spirit.


◼ WILLPOWER | Long years of suffering under the Wendigo has sharpened the mind of every member of the Tahki family, Elwood included, and honed within them a sharp and powerful force of will, allowing them to resist the Wendigo's possession.

Limitation(s) | Description should be at least a paragraph with three defined limitations

Weakness(es) | Description should be at least a paragraph with exploitable weaknesses.

Any relevant characters you will be playing alongside your primary POV in order to flesh out the world around you. This can include, family, friends, loved ones and antagonists.

The Black Sarcophagus held an ancient and world-ending [evil], a long slumbering and hateful nemesis to Life, and opening the coffin unsealed it back into the world once again; however, with it came magic, flowing through every living thing on the planet - revitalizing nature, changing animal life irrevocably, and altering the course of history forever.

Egypt was lost to the [evil] immediately, Alexandria, in which its sarcophagus was opened, succumbing instantly to a dense swarm of flesh-eating locusts and scarabs that poured forth, [the evil] itself cruelly massacring those who hid or fled before flying to Giza and delving into the great pyramids to seize its artifacts. With its full might, [the evil] annihilated Cairo effortlessly and marched [an army] down the Nile to conquer the rest of the country.

In the years following, most of the African continent would also fall under [the evil's] rule, only small pockets of resistance remaining, while much of Europe and Asia's combined military might formed a border at Isreal that grew steadily more fortified as it continued to hold off [the evil's] forces.

Wraith and I have had a quick discussion about Chloe and have both found ourselves taking issue with her powers.

Note that the powerset itself - i.e. the immovability/speed/unstoppability (that's not a word) - is great! It's neat, it's interesting, and personally I think it could be a lot of fun. However when it comes to the limitations Wraith and I both feel like you're talking about a completely different set of abilities. Her powers seem self-orientated, but her limitations talk about changing other objects (from what to what?), altering states of systems (What states? What systems?), and manipulating surfaces and objects (manipulating them how?). It almost feels like the limitations are coming copy/pasted from a completely different powerset. Additionally, I feel like her weaknesses are irrelevant to her power - the biggest weakness you've given her is a classic 'her power isn't durability-related, so that's a weakness', which is a big bugbear for me, and poor eyesight and kleptomania have nothing to do with the power itself.

Clarify the hell out of her powers - what she's capable of, what she's actually limited by - and give her some real weaknesses, and we're good to go.

*Chuckles*

No worries. It happens!

Cheers!

P.S. When will we see your character btw? I'm curious to see him or her.


Hopefully today after I’m done abusing Wraith for forcing me to fill out a personality section.
???? How did I miss this. Thanks.
