Amelia [+]

Name: Subject #266/Amelia
Nickname: none
Gender: Female
Age: 11
Brief Personality: Due to her past, Amelia is very child-like and innocent girl, having been out of contact with humans for most of her life. As a result of this, she is very shy and unwilling to talk to others, save the first person she shares forms a bond with. Who she comes to be can be shaped by this person.

The one thing about Amelia that can't be shaped is how much she detests violence. Having been abused her entire life, she can't stand fighting or the sight of blood, save her own since she is used to it.

On top of these traits Amelia has cases of Androphobia (Fear of Men) and Phonophobia (fear of loud noises).

Ability: Amelia has one ability, which is the ability to call upon spirits and give them a physical body. When the ability initially awakened, she was only able to call upon the spirits of the dead. After a certain series of events (see history), she gained the ability to summon elemental spirits via the crystals on her wings. The elementals are known to take either humanoid or monstrous forms while the spirits of the dead take the forms they have in life or angelic/demonic appearances, depending on the spirit's preference.

Amelia's spirits are powerful and intelligent, capable of summoning themselves when Amelia is in signifigant danger or they perceive her to be. Unlike their master, they do not hesitate to kill.

Limits to Ability: The biggest limit on Amelia's abilities is Amelia herself. While she has the ability to summon as many as she wants, summoning too many puts tremendous stress on her body. Due to her heart condition, she only has the ability to summon two spirits at a time, as any more could prove potentially fatal to her.

On top of that, her spirits have weaknesses. Her Spirits of the Dead are unable to come out in holy places and cannot be in the prescence of anything that can be considered 'holy'. Her elemental spirits can't exist in conditions that do not favor them. An example: her Spirit of Fire, Ifrit, cannot exist in watery conditions or heavy rain while her water spirit, Undine, cannot exist in dry conditions.

Age admitted into Riverwood: not yet admitted

Background: Amelia's XGene awakened at a very early age. Growing up in an abusive household, the stress caused from living in such an environment is suspected to be the reason her powers awakened at the tender age of five, as she summoned several spirits when her father was beating her, resulting in her father's death. The government quickly took notice of this and, upon learning the details of her abilities, decided to keep her alive and use her to study mutants they had killed before.

Amelia was 'killed' the next day and secretly taken to a hidden lab, where the experimenting began. The scientist there kept Amelia alive, though they forced her to use her abilities to bring back the spirits of dead mutants in order to experiment on them further and get a better understanding. Whenever Amelia decided to not summon a spirit, the scientist would give her electric shocks as punishment, though due to them viewing her as a non-human, the shocks were stronger then they should've been and began effecting her heart over time.

When Amelia was ten years old, the scientists decided to try and strengthen her powers through an experimental drug they had been testing. The end result was something they were not expecting: Amelia began screaming in pain and two skeletal limbs burst from her back as her eyes, originally emerald green, turned to a bright, cherry red. After their appearance, several small, differently colored lights appeared around Amelia and gathered at different points of the new limbs, forming into crystals. While the scientist were normally obligated to terminate a mutant with such a stand-out detail immediately, Amelia was spared due to her usefulness.

The drug did do it's intended effect, allowing Amelia to now see spirits as well as granting her the ability to summon elemental spirits from the crystals on her wings.

This proved to be a fatal mistake, as you can only push one so far before they explode. Five years of experimentation, abuse, and pain finally pushed Amelia too far one day. During an experiment, Amelia broke down and the spirits around her, angry at the scientists in the area, suddenly materialized everywhere. On top of that, Amelia's elemental spirits materialized as well. Both types attacked everyone in the facility and pandemonium ensued, resulting in the entire lab exploding, with Amelia only survive thanks to her Spirits of Earth and Fire protecting her from the flames.

However, the stress that the mass summoning put on her body caused the girl's heart permanent damage, making her cough up blood and collapse. One of the spirits of the dead remained materialized long enough to take the young girl away and out of the area before the government could arrive and trap or kill Amelia.

Amelia has been wondering by herself since then, the spirits slowly, but surely, guiding her to Riverwood Academy.

Appearance:


Amelia also has the number 266 tattooed onto the right side of her neck.

When first found, she will be wearing nothing but a lab shirt. Her preferred style of cloths will be jeans and a shirt, with nothing on her feet.

Other: Due to the constant shocks she received as discipline and the mass summoning that lead to her escape, Amelia has a very weak and damaged heart. Should she be put under too much stress or her heart begin beating too fast, it will cause her massive pain and begin coughing up blood, weakening her considerably and causing her to collapse.

Due to a lack of use and constant screaming from her time in the labs, Amelia's throat is also in bad condition, leading to near muteness. While she can talk, it is very painful for her to do so.

Welcome to the guild @ningal700! I'm hoping that you are enjoying your stay so far. If you have any questions guild wise and how things run, don't hesitate to ask me.

I know that Penguin, Potter, Subject Zero and Axilmeus Steel have their characters in the infirmary @Joshua Tamashii but with Penguin and Axilmeus gone things have slowed down there. If you want, I still have my character Levi free if you'd like to have some more interaction (maybe she came into another room in the infirmary than the one the other characters are in). It's up to you though. I've been keeping Levi free in case someone backed themself into a corner (due to people dropping out, etc.) or a new person joined and needed someone to interact with so if you'd like to go with that, just let me know.

Oh and just a little advertising but if you all haven't seen it yet, you should check out this issue of RPGN (can be found in my sig). I've started to a new section called Thought Experiment a few issues back and thought you all might like to answer that question (*cough cough* we could use some more activity from the guild in there).

Thanks, I am finding the few people with whom I have spoken to be quite kind. (: My only question now is, who is able to accept my character, if they so approve? Is it only Penguin, or can one of you to give me to OK to roleplay? If one of you has that power and feels that my bio is acceptable, or can give me pointers so that I may approve upon it, then I will do so and would be free to roleplay for a bit right now. Otherwise, I shall wait and try and check back later to see if my CS has been accepted/declined.

Would love to have someone to interact with. Fankly, I'm curious as to how your character will react to Amelia's appearance.
