The Umbrella Academy: Uncanon - Closed

[Jag]

I want to reserve the power of magnetic manipulation (control of metals a la something similar to Magneto).

Face Claim... I'll edit the post or add that later if more have posted since--I don't want to double post.

I will add that and your face claim to the list. ^^

Are these powers acceptable in the setting? Darkness manipulation (your typical able to control shadows, drawing inspiration from the La Sombra in World of Darkness), Illusionary magic, and Puppetry?

I would accept that. Considering the level of control Allison has, I don’t think something like that would be an issue. Hell, season three has a glowing cube named Christopher on the cast. So I don’t think much is out of the way for the setting. >_<

Mel Bui

Character Name: Melcia Bui
Nick Names: Mel
Gender Identity: Female
Age: 29 (Born: 10/1/1989)
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation: Demi-romantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5' 1"
Place of Birth: Portland, Oregon
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: 115 lbs | Athletic and Curvy | Burn scar on her upper left arm, scar on her left thigh

Temperament/Personality: Melcia is laid back. She doesn't mind getting her hands dirty and putting in hard work. However, she loves to pull pranks on people, have fun by partying, doing karaoke, partaking in weed, and drinking lots of booze. She can be serious if she needs to or is required to but will actively try to color outside the lines when forced to comply. Melcia is on the spectrum of someone who presents as having ODD (oppositional defiant disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), which doesn't mesh well with authority figures.


Background: Melcia was born in Portland to a chef at 'Golden Dragon,' a Vietnamese/Chinese fusion food restaurant. The chef there gave birth to Melcia on October 1st, 1989, during her shift there. The rest of the restaurant staff were shocked by the occurrence and didn't believe Trang's word that she had not been pregnant ever before in her life. Melcia's mother, Trang, kept Mel despite the situation and raised her as her child--as she was a Christian woman and believed it was the right thing to do. Trang wanted Mel to become a great musician of the classical arts, but Melcia never really fit into that mold. She enjoyed being a 'tomboy .' As a teen, she would often get into fights (she began taking Karate classes as a child), cause pranks on people, and eventually started doing drugs. Mel dropped out of junior college and living at home with her mother while working at Golden Dragon herself. She was doing odd jobs such as washing dishes, prepping ingredients, and bussing tables. It wasn't until Melcia was 25 did she start to realize the strange powers she had. At first, it started with moving a spoon about an inch on a table--she thought it was her imagination for a month. Later on, she sent a metal butter knife soaring three feet off a table when she was upset with her mother. A year later, she caused several pans and pots to fly at a wall when she found out her mother was in a car accident. Her mother injured her back in the accident has to walk with either a cane or a walker now--she also has begun to try Mel's pot edibles as they help with the pain she has in her body. Over the years after that, Mel realized that strong emotions would cause these events to happen--but she never really had reliable control over her powers. On March 1st, 2019, Mel received a letter from Sir Hargreeves inviting her to the Umbrella Academy.

Hi,

If possible and not too vague I'd like to switch from animal control to being able to bring paintings/artwork to life? E.g. painting things and then for a certain time drawing them into the real world. They have to be painted by their own hand and there's a limit on scale/duration.

Fanny Marlowe

Character Name: Frances Rose Marlowe
Nick Names: Fanny, The Atomizer
Gender Identity: Female (trans)
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Heteroflexible
Romantic Orientation: Aro

Hair: Brunette
Eyes: Dark Brown
Height: 5’ 9”
Place of Birth: Chichester, Sussex
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: 126 lbs/Slender (measurements are 32C-24-33)/Unathletic

Temperament/Personality: Fanny puts a lot of effort into being cool and aloof, keeping her cards close to her perky chest. She has a dry sense of humor and tries to make clever quips when she can. Her party girl lifestyle has been quite enjoyable so she finds the attitude of those who disapprove of her to be prudish. Fanny has mastered the art of seeming slightly bored by everything even when having the time of her life. She doesn’t like to talk about her childhood in England, there are deep issues there but she self-medicates instead of dealing with them. Although “it girls” have limited shelf lives, she has not made any plans for the future. In fact Fanny can be very short-sighted with the decisions she makes, living in the moment instead of thinking ahead.

Background: Sir Herbert Marlowe, 9th Baronet, was known for being a hard-nosed industrialist and conservative politician. So he considered his daughter suddenly giving birth to be a scandal and not a miracle. Out of wedlock is out of wedlock. That meant shuffling the child off to boarding school as soon as possible. Then came those odd powers and that whole coming out thing. Not proper, just not proper at all. Still, one does a duty toward family so when the old bastard finally kicked it his only grandchild got a metric arseload of money. Fanny has been living the life of the idle wealthy ever since, spending more time in Ibiza than England. Technically she is an olfactory artist but really that’s just an excuse to get a cheque to show up at parties and clubs. Knowing her twenties are doomed to end has had Fanny wondering what she's going to do with the rest of her life but not actually doing much to answer that question. A letter she got in the mail came at just the right time.

Hobbies: Watching 1960s movies, clubbing, partying, shopping, swimming and sunbathing (sometimes nude), supporting LGBTQ rights, collecting vintage Playboy magazines and memorabilia
Likes: David Bowie, James Bond, cigarettes, fruity cocktails, cocaine, fashion, attention, casinos, sushi, animals, casual sex, the Mediterranean life
Dislikes: Sports, personal questions, judgmental people, trying to cook or drive, clout chasers
Fears: Turning thirty and losing her appeal
Strengths: Keeping her cool, creativity, always looking good on camera
Weaknesses: Substance abuse, overly concerned with her image, poor taste in men, almost zero foresight

Talents/Skills: Being stylish, multilingual (fluent in Spanish, conversational in French and Italian), knows many of the beautiful people, olfactory art, perfumery, aromachology, dancing like a cool aloof girl

Powers: Scent manipulation. While changing how things smell doesn’t seem that impressive, Fanny’s creativity allows her to use this talent in a variety of ways. She is superb at tracking and identifying things through scent. Fanny can use intense smells to disable someone or subtly manipulate moods. Animals reliant on scent can be coerced. She claims that she can help with aliments via aromatherapy but this might be hyperbole.

My girl, my girl, my girl...

Oh em gee!
After reading this CS, I randomly thought of the Kdrama A Girl Who Sees Smells!
In the show, the girl can see smells and track people to help solve crimes--she also can look at a scene or someone and deduces events based on the scents remaining.
Just a really random thought I had, lol.

Nathan Gill

Character Name: Nathan Gill
Nick Names:

• Nate
• The Boy Who Was Always Sick
• The Sick Boy

Gender Identity: Cismale
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation Panromantic

Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Height: 6'3''
Place of Birth: Hatherleigh, Devonshire, UK
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: Nathan is a very tall, slender, and fit man. His most notable feature is his hair. Its bright red color stands out in any crowd. Since his eyebrows and eyelashes are the same shade of red, they can seem to not exist at certain angles or in certain lighting, giving him an almost alien-like appearance. Nathan is covered in freckles.

Temperament/Personality: Quiet | Reserved | Generally Collected | Realistic

Nathan grew up around death. Sure, few people died around him, but he got to experience a lot of what their lives were like just before they might have died from some kind of brain tumor or respiratory illness. It gave him a rather realistic outlook on life. He's not a downer. He doesn't go around moaning about how awful the life and world are. He just sort of understands that life has a course to take and there's no reason to fret about it. He likes to be quiet and just sort of people watch and listen.

That doesn't mean he doesn't have another side. He can take on the state of mind of the illnesses and sufferings he absorbs for a period of time. He does also tend to get a little paranoid when he feels crowded by too many people. He does care about other people, but he finds it hard to connect with them. He does have a desire to be more social, but it's just difficult for him.

Background: Nathan was born to Mary Gill on October 1st, 1989 at exactly Noon in the small market village of Hatherleigh. His mother was young, just 18 years old, and leaving Church that Sunday with her mother and father when a sudden pain struck her. She ended up giving birth in front of the Tally Ho pub even though she had just had a doctor's checkup two days prior for a small cough and was deemed healthy with a small cold and certainly not pregnant. Despite that, everyone assumed that she had got pregnant by her recently ex-boyfriend Erik Troy. People tried to push the two into marriage, but Erik and Mary both denied them ever having sex in their short relationship. Mary tried to claim that she wasn't a virgin, but she hadn't been with anyone in a year. As is prone to happen in small towns, Mary was whispered to be a slut around the village as she went about trying to raise her baby.

Nathan was a sickly boy. He always seemed to have some kind of illness. Anytime he went out with the other kids, he always woke up the next day with a cold, a cough, a rash, a fever...something. Some days it wasn't a physical illness. Sometimes it was just him feeling or looking down or sad, like he was suddenly struck with a bout of depression. Mary took him to see the local doctor many times in his youth. The doctor did confirm that he was indeed ill, but when they'd check on him in a few days for a follow-up, he would either be perfectly healthy or affected with some other illness instead. No one ever caught anything from Nathan. Instead, people seemed to feel better after being around the boy. It was the great mystery of Hatherleigh. Nathan Gill, The Sick Boy.

As he grew into a teenager, things only seemed to get worse. His mother had decided at that point that Nathan had a gift. That the reason the people of Hatherleigh were so healthy and happy was that Nathan took on their illness and sadness for them. She wasn't entirely wrong. It wasn't everyone at every moment in time being healthier and happier around Nathan, it was only people he had direct, physical contact with. There was also the happiness factor. Those who did have that contact with Nathan only felt that strange 'contentment' and 'happiness' for a period of time. Some managed to stay that way, but not everyone.

When he was sixteen, his mother took him to London to be studied by some researchers. It was the worst few years of his life. They treated him like a lab animal. They wanted to try to figure out what made Nathan the way he was. They also wanted to test the limit of his gift. One limit they found was that while he could cure cancer, he ended up with that cancer for a period of time. Another was that he could clear a mind of its depression, but he because depressed for a period of time and the other person was prone to going back to the way they were eventually if additional help was not obtained.

Nathan's life sucked and the only comfort he found was putting on as much clothing as possible to avoid contact with anyone, putting on headphones, and listening to his cassette player. Eventually, he made it out on his own, but he found life rather lackluster when all he could think about was what sort of illness he might get next from the person standing next to him at the market. He just had his small flat, where he kept to himself, and was paid for by the lab that continued to research him. He had a few friends, but nothing he would consider close friends. There was the same woman who always checked him out at the shop that he liked to talk to. He had tea with the older couple that lived downstairs once a week. And there was that cute guy who lived in the flat across the street that he would wave to and flirt with occasionally, but neither of them ever asked the other out.

Things were pretty basic and routine in his life until he came home one day to find a letter stuck to his door from someone named Sir Hargreeves.

Hobbies: Making Mix Tapes | Growing/Caring for House Plants (he can't absorb anything from them) | Playing Card Games | Keeping Journals
Likes: Music | The cat that manages to get into his flat sometimes | Cassette Tapes | Rain
Dislikes: Crowds | Flu Season | People who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom | Hospitals
Fears: Touching the wrong person and absorbing something "awful". Not something that could kill him, but something that might break him mentally. Like absorbing what makes someone a clinical psychopath.
Strengths: Very Good Listener
Weaknesses: Tendency to be a Germaphobe | Not great at talking to people (though he'll listen to them all day)

Talents/Skills:

• Bilingual - French and English
• Botany Knowledge
• Card Counting
• Speed Reading - He spent a lot of time as a child sick in bed with not much to do other than read
• Cross Stitching

Powers:

• Suffering/Illness Absorption: Through physical contact, Nathan can absorb what is causing someone a physical or mental illness. Everything from the common cold to alcoholism and depression. There are side effects though. For physical illnesses, Nathan must suffer the disease or illness for a few days. If he absorbs cancer, he has cancer. It does fade, but he feels the full force of it. It's similar for mental illnesses, but the issue is that mental illnesses are not "cured" simply because he absorbed them. The other person might feel "better" for a period of time, but if they do not address the root cause of it, it can return. Nathan's ability merely gives them a "moment". Nathan cannot heal wounds, but he can take away the pained feeling. The only healing factor he possesses is his own body's ability to handle whatever illness he absorbs.

As to the game, I'm still debating if I have the room for it but even if not I'll probably peep on it as it gets going and what sort of power I would want for my character.

Indigo Kane

Character Name: Indigo Kane
Nick Names: Virtuoso
Gender Identity: Nonbinary (They/Them pref. but comfortable with others from friends)
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation Demiromantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'1"
Place of Birth: New Orleans
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults:

Temperament/Personality: Introspective | Thoughtful | Peaceful | Honest | Open | Troubled

Background: Indigo was born in New Orleans with their identical twin Samara, though they both went by different names when they were born. They were raised by a struggling drug-addict mother who often resorted to shoplifting to feed her children. Despite her issues, their mother was a caring person who tried extremely hard to take good care of Samara and Indigo in the face of a lot of hardships. Indigo found life difficult and they were often a quiet, cautious person. They were always grateful for having Samara in their corner.

When Samara came out to Indigo they supported her immediately, introspecting a little more. Indigo was a lot worse at the criminal side of life than their sister but they did their best to make money any which way they could including developing their artistic skill and selling a few portraits. When Indigo discovered their powers they became much more afraid to draw but in time they learned to control what became real. It was easy for them to agree to hide their powers.

As Indigo began to develop their artistry they were deeply appreciative of all Samara's help. When they lost their mother Indigo spiralled just as hard as Samara did. Where she fell into drinking Indigo instead started to use drugs heavily and created more and more controversial, disturbing art. While Samara was a vigilante Indigo created several famous art pieces including "She Cried Scarlet" depicting an impressionist take on Indigo's imagined vision of their mother's shocking birth to twins.

Unfortunately Indigo had nobody left to lean on and so they eventually ended up worried that they would bring some of these nightmarish visions to life. Indigo was admitted to a psychiatric ward and worried they would be there indefinitely until Samara arrived to help Indigo return to their former career with support back in their life. Since leaving the psychiatric ward Indigo has adopted several pets and takes excellent care of them with their sister. Samara and Indigo resumed their joint career focusing on Indigo's artistic talents when they received a strange letter that made them both feel deeply apprehensive and uncertain.

Hobbies: Painting/Sketching, Animal Care, Yoga,
Likes: Art (All sorts), Animals, Soul Music,
Dislikes: Bigots, Animal Abusers, Pointless Violence, Braggadocio Behaviour,
Fears: Losing their sister, Being Alone,
Strengths: Empathetic, Thoughtful
Weaknesses: Anxious, Naive

Talents/Skills: Talented Artist (World-Class Oil Painter), Emotionally Intelligent, Good with animals, Flexible

Powers:

Artistic Manifestations: Indigo is a very talented artist who possesses the ability to bring art they create to life. To do this requires both intent and emotion. Indigo must intend to manifest something and must have real, personal emotional investment in the subject of the art. The more they desire it both in their mind and heart the more accurate to the art the manifestation will be. If there is any true limitation beyond the mental and emotional strain along with the time to create the art then that limitation has not yet been found. Indigo can create almost anything and even wildly change the world around them for a time depending on their emotions.

Character Connections:

Samara Kane - Samara is Indigo's twin sister. There is nothing Indigo would not do for Samara save for things Indigo cannot bring themselves to do (Such as torture). Indigo treasures Samara above all other things and even their own wellbeing.

Samara Kane

Character Name: Samara Kane
Nick Names: Gorechild
Gender Identity: Trans Female
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation Homoromantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'1"
Place of Birth: New Orleans
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: Samara is around 165lbs with a good deal of muscle. She is not especially curvy with small breasts but she does have toned abs and strong, developed legs and arms. Samara bears several scars from fights in her early life.

Temperament/Personality: Assertive | Confident | Serious | Thoughtful | Sharp | Attentive | Argumentative

Background: Samara was born in New Orleans with her identical twin Indigo, though they both went by different names when they were born. They were raised by a struggling drug-addict mother who often resorted to shoplifting to feed her children. Despite her issues, their mother was a caring person who tried extremely hard to take good care of Samara and Indigo in the face of a lot of hardships. Samara and Indigo were extremely close as they grew up with Samara predominantly trying to take on a more protective role as Indigo was always softer-natured than her.

Even during her youth Samara became aware she was trans and came out to her twin. The two of them pushed themselves at school but also got involved in petty crime, too. It began as shoplifting but escalated to dealing drugs in order to make money to make Samara's transition viable. Samara began her transition as a teenager and did her best to pull away from any criminal activities in the hopes she and Indigo could live a better life. During their teen years Samara and Indigo both discovered their powers but swore to keep them a secret from anyone and everyone else.

Samara ended up helping Indigo to expand their artistry and began operating as a manager of sorts liaising to see their work displayed in galleries and generally handling Indigo's image. Unfortunately early in their shared career they lost their mother which sent them both into heavy emotional spirals. Samara developed a habit of drinking heavily and briefly lost contact with her sibling.

During this period Samara took out her rage by operating as a vigilante. She used her powers, which she nicknamed 'goreshifting' to brutally fight criminals while training in boxing. Samara was shocked at her capacity for violence and rage having never really realised just how much anger she was bottling up. She managed to stop a significant number of crimes around New Orleans but in turn notably increased the rate of violent assaults. Samara didn't kill people but she made sure they got hurt if they were would-be killers or rapists.

Eventually, when she discovered Indigo had been admitted to a psychiatric ward she cleaned up, waiting for them to be released and working through their grief together. Samara and Indigo resumed their joint career focusing on Indigo's artistic talents when they received a strange letter that made them both feel deeply apprehensive and uncertain.

Hobbies: Hiking, Boxing, Pet Care (Indigo's pets), Sketching, Painting
Likes: Wildlife, Nature, Combat Sports, Brandy/Whiskey/Rum,
Dislikes: Prudes, Bigots, Most Police, Politicians, Judgemental People
Fears: Losing her twin, Turning into a Monster
Strengths: Confident, Decisive,
Weaknesses: Aggressive, Guarded, Alcohol Dependent

Talents/Skills: Competent Boxer, Physically Fit, Good with Animals, Decent at sketching & oil painting, Decent Cook, Streetwise

Powers:

Bio-Organic Weaponry: Samara can shift her body to form weaponry or defenses. The process is extremely painful and often highly gory. In order to sustain this, she also regenerates extremely quickly and can withstand an immense amount of pain. Samara can turn her limbs into sentient whips, lashes, spears, and blades or form shields of bone to protect herself. Samara's shifting cannot change her appearance into anything but biological weaponry. She cannot form ranged weaponry or anything more complex than simple tools such as swords, maces, spears, shields, and armour. She cannot increase her total body mass and so to elongate her arm she must pull from elsewhere.

Character Connections:

Indigo Kane - Indigo is Samara's twin sibling. Samara would kill or die for Indigo without a second thought. She supports them in everything they do and will stand by them no matter how badly it hurts or what mistakes Indigo might make.

I am a very big fan of this sort of power.


As to the game, I'm still debating if I have the room for it but even if not I'll probably peep on it as it gets going and what sort of power I would want for my character.

*orders a hypno-coin from the back of a comic book*

Dooooooooo it....

[Jag]

Here they are!

Indigo Kane

Character Name: Indigo Kane
Nick Names: Virtuoso
Gender Identity: Nonbinary (They/Them pref. but comfortable with others from friends)
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation Demiromantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'1"
Place of Birth: New Orleans
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults:

Temperament/Personality: Introspective | Thoughtful | Peaceful | Honest | Open | Troubled

Background: Indigo was born in New Orleans with their identical twin Samara, though they both went by different names when they were born. They were raised by a struggling drug-addict mother who often resorted to shoplifting to feed her children. Despite her issues, their mother was a caring person who tried extremely hard to take good care of Samara and Indigo in the face of a lot of hardships. Indigo found life difficult and they were often a quiet, cautious person. They were always grateful for having Samara in their corner.

When Samara came out to Indigo they supported her immediately, introspecting a little more. Indigo was a lot worse at the criminal side of life than their sister but they did their best to make money any which way they could including developing their artistic skill and selling a few portraits. When Indigo discovered their powers they became much more afraid to draw but in time they learned to control what became real. It was easy for them to agree to hide their powers.

As Indigo began to develop their artistry they were deeply appreciative of all Samara's help. When they lost their mother Indigo spiralled just as hard as Samara did. Where she fell into drinking Indigo instead started to use drugs heavily and created more and more controversial, disturbing art. While Samara was a vigilante Indigo created several famous art pieces including "She Cried Scarlet" depicting an impressionist take on Indigo's imagined vision of their mother's shocking birth to twins.

Unfortunately Indigo had nobody left to lean on and so they eventually ended up worried that they would bring some of these nightmarish visions to life. Indigo was admitted to a psychiatric ward and worried they would be there indefinitely until Samara arrived to help Indigo return to their former career with support back in their life. Since leaving the psychiatric ward Indigo has adopted several pets and takes excellent care of them with their sister. Samara and Indigo resumed their joint career focusing on Indigo's artistic talents when they received a strange letter that made them both feel deeply apprehensive and uncertain.

Hobbies: Painting/Sketching, Animal Care, Yoga,
Likes: Art (All sorts), Animals, Soul Music,
Dislikes: Bigots, Animal Abusers, Pointless Violence, Braggadocio Behaviour,
Fears: Losing their sister, Being Alone,
Strengths: Empathetic, Thoughtful
Weaknesses: Anxious, Naive

Talents/Skills: Talented Artist (World-Class Oil Painter), Emotionally Intelligent, Good with animals, Flexible

Powers:

Artistic Manifestations: Indigo is a very talented artist who possesses the ability to bring art they create to life. To do this requires both intent and emotion. Indigo must intend to manifest something and must have real, personal emotional investment in the subject of the art. The more they desire it both in their mind and heart the more accurate to the art the manifestation will be. If there is any true limitation beyond the mental and emotional strain along with the time to create the art then that limitation has not yet been found. Indigo can create almost anything and even wildly change the world around them for a time depending on their emotions.

Character Connections:

Samara Kane - Samara is Indigo's twin sister. There is nothing Indigo would not do for Samara save for things Indigo cannot bring themselves to do (Such as torture). Indigo treasures Samara above all other things and even their own wellbeing.

Faceclaim: Isaiah B.

Player Notes: TBD.

Samara Kane

Character Name: Samara Kane
Nick Names: Gorechild
Gender Identity: Trans Female
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Romantic Orientation Homoromantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 6'1"
Place of Birth: New Orleans
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: Samara is around 165lbs with a good deal of muscle. She is not especially curvy with small breasts but she does have toned abs and strong, developed legs and arms. Samara bears several scars from fights in her early life.

Temperament/Personality: Assertive | Confident | Serious | Thoughtful | Sharp | Attentive | Argumentative

Background: Samara was born in New Orleans with her identical twin Indigo, though they both went by different names when they were born. They were raised by a struggling drug-addict mother who often resorted to shoplifting to feed her children. Despite her issues, their mother was a caring person who tried extremely hard to take good care of Samara and Indigo in the face of a lot of hardships. Samara and Indigo were extremely close as they grew up with Samara predominantly trying to take on a more protective role as Indigo was always softer-natured than her.

Even during her youth Samara became aware she was trans and came out to her twin. The two of them pushed themselves at school but also got involved in petty crime, too. It began as shoplifting but escalated to dealing drugs in order to make money to make Samara's transition viable. Samara began her transition as a teenager and did her best to pull away from any criminal activities in the hopes she and Indigo could live a better life. During their teen years Samara and Indigo both discovered their powers but swore to keep them a secret from anyone and everyone else.

Samara ended up helping Indigo to expand their artistry and began operating as a manager of sorts liaising to see their work displayed in galleries and generally handling Indigo's image. Unfortunately early in their shared career they lost their mother which sent them both into heavy emotional spirals. Samara developed a habit of drinking heavily and briefly lost contact with her sibling.

During this period Samara took out her rage by operating as a vigilante. She used her powers, which she nicknamed 'goreshifting' to brutally fight criminals while training in boxing. Samara was shocked at her capacity for violence and rage having never really realised just how much anger she was bottling up. She managed to stop a significant number of crimes around New Orleans but in turn notably increased the rate of violent assaults. Samara didn't kill people but she made sure they got hurt if they were would-be killers or rapists.

Eventually, when she discovered Indigo had been admitted to a psychiatric ward she cleaned up, waiting for them to be released and working through their grief together. Samara and Indigo resumed their joint career focusing on Indigo's artistic talents when they received a strange letter that made them both feel deeply apprehensive and uncertain.

Are these powers acceptable in the setting? Darkness manipulation (your typical able to control shadows, drawing inspiration from the La Sombra in World of Darkness), Illusionary magic, and Puppetry?

I do love La Sombra as well, though that takes me from making an Umbrella Speedster to maybe something more in line with Tzimisce skincraft.  I shouldn't be thinking of character ideas. D:

Like I said before, we'd love to have you, but don't stretch yourself. You can always put in a power and face claim for the future and then just message me to remove it if you decide in the long run that you don't feel you'll be able to fit the game in. ^^

Hortense Dubois

Character Name: Hortense Dubois
Nick Names: Henny
Gender Identity: Cisfemale
Age: 29
Sexual Orientation: Demisexual
Romantic Orientation Demiromantic

Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5'7''
Place of Birth: Paris, France
Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults: Hortense is a fit and moderately attractive woman of Eurasian descent. She has long hair that she usually braids or puts up. She used to get more dressed up, do her makeup, and hair; but these days the most effort she puts into it is brushing her hair and washing her face before putting sweatpants and a sweater on to flop on the couch. She doesn't have any special birthmarks or scars nor tattoos.

Temperament/Personality: Listless | Content | Intelligent | Lackluster | Lackadaisical

Henny is not an energetic person. She is generally quiet and keeps to herself, but not because she's shy. She's actually a very confident person. It's just that she doesn't find anything interesting in life. Despite the fact that she does so many things, she actually has no hobbies or anything that interests her enough to really care about it.

She isn't a bad person, but she can come off as rather cold. It's mostly just that she finds it hard to be excited about things. She actually has a rather jealous side when she is around people acting silly and laughing at their mistakes and things like that. Simply because she doesn't know what it feels like to laugh at her own mistakes.

Background: Mr. and Mrs. Dubois did not plan on having children. They were both accomplished in their respective fields and it was just never in the plans for them. Yet on October 1st, 1989; Mrs. Dubois was entertaining a charity brunch when she felt her designer dress stretching out suddenly. She gave birth on the sitting couch in the entry hall. She was quickly handed over to a nanny named Celeste. The only thing she ever heard from her parents was their upset that she wasn't doing better at things. That she wasn't accomplished enough yet. This was all despite the fact that she excelled at everything. Celeste tried to tell her that she was doing good and give her love and happiness.

But Henny wasn't stupid. She didn't feel sad at the things her parents said. Nor did she really care about it. Henny knew something was off about her at an early age. She knew that so long as she tried to do something, she'd do it well.

She found herself extremely bored in private schools when teachers had to explain things several times for other students to understand it. So she was pulled out and privately tutored instead. She always got high marks. Her ballet instructor only had to show her a form once for her to get it. She always just did well. Except with other children. Henny never had any friends.

Over time, Henny just grew to be disenchanted with life. There wasn't anything special about it in her mind. If she was just good at everything, then what was the point? For the last few years of her life, she's retreated from the public and has taken to spending her time sleeping and watching television. She's not depressed or sad, she just doesn't see a reason to do anything else.

At least until she got a letter one day from someone named Sir Hargreeves.

Hobbies: She doesn't have any. She doesn't find anything challenging enough to do for enjoyment.
Likes: Eating, sleeping, and watching TV.
Dislikes: Most things, but she's very good at acting so she puts on a smile most of the time.
Fears: Never knowing what it feels like to feel 'accomplished' or proud of herself.
Strengths: Anything she focuses her attention on.
Weaknesses: A extreme lack of enthusiasm.

Talents/Skills: (though it should be noted that she doesn't like doing any of these things. She just keeps trying new things in the hope that something makes her 'feel good')

• Singing
• Drawing/Painting
• Can play sixteen different instruments
• Speaks French, English, German, Dutch, and Spanish
• Trained in the culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu
• Trained in ballet at The Paris Opera Ballet School
• Accomplished Actress, Writer, and Costume Designer
• There are many things Henny is talented at.

Powers:

• Enhanced Competency: Many would think this was a great gift, but Henny finds it to make life rather boring. Competency is the ability to do something successfully and efficiently. Henny is just good at everything she does. It does have it's limits. She can't just walk into an operating room and perform brain surgery flawlessly, she does have to have knowledge of the thing she is intending to do. Once she has that knowledge, she performs it successfully and efficiently 100% of the time. Even when she tries to intentionally mess things up, it somehow ends up still being what it needs to be, just in a new way that turns out to be more efficient.

Temporarily, yes, it would be great. Agreed.

I am thinking about this very much as it is a very wonderful concept.  I will have to see what I can come up with later... but for now, here is my interest tag! *Smiles*
