“With everything that has happened to you up to this moment, with everything that you have experienced... can you give me an honest answer and say that you love or hate the world that you live in? And if you could have the option to escape it in an instant... would you wish for the opportunity to go back to it or live in the fantasy that was given to you?”

As the voice echoes into your head, cradling you as you fall into a deep slumber, you soon find yourself opening your eyes and waking up in a land unlike anything you have seen before... and you realize, that you are definitely no longer in your room.



"These are the first words that must be answered if you are to take your first steps into this adventure that I ask of you. If you love it, truly, truly love the world that you come from then you must take a step back and figure out why is it that you cannot hate it despite all that there is wrong with your world. I have seen your people fight, rape, and kill one another... I have seen the racism and the hatred... I have seen the violent outbursts and constant rage that comes from your kind... but if for some reason you can still love it and choose to go back, then I will give you that option once you have done me a favor of great importance. However as a being of contradiction and balance I must also ask of thee something else; if you hate it, why can’t you love it? If, despite all the opportunities given to you since the moment of your birth and the chances you have had to change, why is it that you can still find a reason to hate? Why is it that you can not forgive those around you and simply love them? What is it that you hate so much with the world?"

"I ask these things because it is my duty to and because whatever it is you feel towards your planet... yourself... and however it is you may act from hence forth it will shape you into the person you will need to be as you adventure into this world… MY world. Do be warned, however, that your feelings and your emotions can make a vast difference here in my world whether you want it to or not."

"For example, your anger and your rage can turn you into something you despise but what you crave... while your calm and love can bring you something else. These are but simple examples after all, nothing more and nothing less. Whether you listen or heed these examples or warnings are up to you."

"Now, you may be wondering, why exactly is it you are here? That is something I can explain with ease. Who I am can be explained another time, but here… in the land of Kite where dreams and fantasies come true by a simple whisk of one's hand, my people are in grave danger. I have allowed many from your world to enter mine in order to save not only this world, but yours as well because something has broken free. If it is not stopped, then both of our worlds will be destroyed."

The voice in your head finishes speaking for a bit, only to cough as if clearing its throat, although, it seems rather pointless why a voice in your head would be clearing its throat.

"Adjust yourself to this world and meet up with the others in the village nearby and do please stay on the roads as to avoid dangers living nearby. While it is true that you are my responsibility since I have brought you here without much of a single warning, I do not wish want to be responsible for your deaths so soon without having the chance to meet you all."

...and just like that, you're left to your fates in the mystical land of Kite.

Kite, The Realm Within One's Heart


Welcome to the mythical land of Kite, a land ruled by a plethora of different races that you will undoubtedly come across as you explore this land in your adventures!

In this RP, you will be playing as a person from the human world (our world) who has been transported to the world of Kite via a special means that will be mentioned in-game by a very powerful individual who has requested our help. Your character's powers will be through your character's own personality and how they view and have acted in their world own world:

Now, what this means is that YOU yourself are entitled of creating your own character, but it also means that they wont be very strong entering the world of Kite. They will be strong and be able to perform some pretty cool things based upon their mentality and what not. If someone was a thief their life, they may be adept to shadows, if someone was athletic they may be a good runner, if someone was an artist they may be able to summon things, etc... but those are only what they were able to do based on their real life skills. Now, there will also be people who could do those same things but at a lesser level if they have desired that power. Say that someone wanted to be stronger to protect someone else, but didn't have the strength to... well, in Kite, it makes dreams and fantasies real, and would grant that person more strength!

This is the gift that Kite grants; the power of 'belief' and 'bringing things into reality'. What you couldn't do before you can do here in Kite, but it is of course limited, and each playable character starts off with a central theme, however, once the RP gets started you will be free to adapt and branch out from this central theme and expand your powers freely. (Say you start off being a master swordsman, and you later want to dwell into magic, you will be more than happy to; the same could be said for a creature summoner or someone with a bow and arrow etc.)

Like a said, the only limitations are the ones that you give for yourself in this RP, however there will of course be limits starting fof for simplicity sake.

Anyway, there will also be be things that will be touched upon in this setting that may be disturbing to others, despite it being a high fantasy setting. I also know how some players can get in such settings and I would like people who are prepared for this kind of stuff and know what they are getting into.

Basically folks, in this RP I'm going to be making sure that people actually feel some emotion towards their characters and have them put through some stuff with actual character development instead of being a blunt character. This means that there wont be anything such as plot armor or dodge for days kind of stuff, everyone here will be on the same playing field.

This is an RP that I will invest my time into heavily, and you can expect me to be focusing on this one a lot. This doesn't mean I wont abandon my other RPs, just giving a heads up that I'm going to be extremely aware of this one and GM-savy!

Anyway, if you have any comments, questions, or are interested in this RP, feel free to throw it my way. I am all ears.

Dang, I got busy yesterday, so was unable to get to this. Anyway, lots of interest! o.O

Real interested, but curious as to the other side of the belief side with negative thoughts and such, are you counting on the players making the effects, or are you gonna decide on them.


It'll be a little mix match of both to be honest, though for the most part it will entirely be up to the player themselves. I'll give you some indication most likely and some subtle hints of what kind of feeling your character will begin to have, but ultimately you will have the final say of how you will want to change your character. So, basically, your actions will equal consequences or even rewards and will shape your character.

Well I'm curious! Do we supply the personality while you give the power?


Starting off? Nope! As mentioned, you will start off with your own theme (like a hunter, communicating with animals, super strength or athletic abilities, summoning creatures to fight for you, etc.) of your own leisure, but this will be pretty basic for the most part. You'll have some simple average skills, but they'll still be pretty grand, but they wont be so over the top amazing however. So, simply put, starting off you have your own set of skills that you'd like to have just as long as you are reasonable, and you can decide how you'd like to expand them as you progress in Kite.

______________________________________________________

Anyway, here are the character sheets for those who are interested and are ready to make their characters:

  • Name: What is it that we should call you?
  • Age: So, how old are ya?
  • Sex: Male, or female?
  • Appearance: Might as well show or tell us what you look like. To be truthful, I'd like to see what you can do by describing yourself, but a picture is fine too!
  • Personality: Tell me, just what kind of person are you?
  • Background: I'd like to know a little bit more about yourself and know just why kind of life you used to live... we are going to have to get along after all.
  • Powers: The powers you were gifted upon being brought into Kite. These will be your bread and butter for now, and they will be your means of survival. I’m curious as to what you can do! Now tell me, what is it that you can do? Manipulation over magic? Can you summon things? Talk to and control animals? Bend your bones and contort your body? Are you capable of flight? Tell me. The possibilities are only limited only by your imagination... but remember, you are but a newborn chick compared to the masters who have been living decades upon decades here. Compared to them your powers are but basic gifts... so don't get too carried way or overconfident, okay?
  • Personal Motive: This is where I want to learn what makes you, well, tick. What exactly is it that you are working so hard towards? Is it actually to go back home, or perhaps you are actually wanting to stay here in the land of Kite? Perhaps you have no intention of going home? Perhaps you intend to make a name for yourself in this mystical land, make a family, or even conquer it for yourself? What do you want to do human?
  • Mementos: Now for the most important thing of all... your most prized possession. What small things were brought with you as mementos from the world from whence you came? Everyone is limited to two small things at the most, and these things are usually worth nothing to the people of Kite and others; the kicker is that they are important to you and you alone. How are they important to you or why you keep them close? Well, I’ll leave that entirely up to you.


With that, I'll leave you all to create your characters... and welcome, to the World of Kite.

  • Name: Kirrian Streem
  • Age: 21
  • Sex: Male
  • Appearance: I like Dreamselfy okay? :c
  • Personality: Kirrian is a very quiet and introverted person, usually found somewhere obscure and calm playing his guitar. Shy around people and not all that keen on them either. Even with the few friends he does have there's not much that comes out of the guitarist's mouth.
  • Background: Kirrian was a bit of a spoiled child, really having had everything a kid needed due to his rather wealthy parents. They spent time with him too, quite often in fact but it didn't really help with how shy he was later down the line. Apparently they never had the common sense to see someone about his relunctant nature, so instead just gave him whatever Kirrian wanted... Which wasn't much. At young age, sure, he had all the toys. Once hitting around 11 though a fascinating interest with guitars popped up, which he like any child, begged his parents to get him one. And lessons soon followed. At first it looked hopeless, often not having enough patience but once they got going it quickly picked up. Fastforward to middle and high school, people didn't really look at him aside from the odd dye-job in Kirrian's hair. Whenever someone WOULD try to talk he'd just give short answers and back off. The few stubborn ones that kept trying eventually broke through his shell, so lonely he never was. But their patience was constantly tested due to multiple vanishing acts and general avoidance. Now he was in college, with only minimal contact with his highschool friends. Mostly it's been replaced with his roommate, a freakishly medical obsessed girl that had gone mute due to an accident. In return for reading her rants about some new medicine she'd listen to his guitar playing. It was always something calming. Kirrian still oftentimes visited his family, why wouldn't he with how well he was raised? Also, as for he what was in college for? He'd planned on doing isolated work as a computer programmer, so that's what he studied for.
  • Powers: With a guitar in hand he can play simple songs to invigorate allies or demotivate enemies, sort of like a bard. For now that's it, simple songs that can manipulate emotions a small amount. The other thing he gained was something more subtle, an ability to mute out the surrounding area. For now, it only affects him, only the things Kirrian wants to hear is what he hears.
  • Personal Motive: Kirrian is unsure. Some guilt is there at leaving everyone who knows him, more for their sake than his own, but on the other side there wasn't THAT much to go back to. For now his goal is just to figure out what he wants, or needs, to do.
  • Memento(s): The scarf in the image is a silk one he recieved as a gift from his original guitar teacher. Honestly, Kirrian was impressed they had the patience to put up with him and even more so when recieving such a gift. They weren't particulary fond of scarves, but this one he's rather fond of.

Name: Ricardo Caballero "Rickie"
Age: 30
Sex: Yes please—- I mean male

Appearance: Okay, well I'm a little fat. Okay, maybe not a little. I'm fat. I'm trying to slim down, but sucess has been moderate. I'm also rather tall and broad- about 1.85 m if you ask. I have brown eyes, tan skin, an awesome bandido moustache which some people ridicule and scruffy short hair. I used to be as blind as mole and in need of glasses, but since I entered this world I don't need them. Curious, huh?

Personality: I'm a guy who likes his personal space, so I don't like crowds, and excessively pushy people. Heck, I am so introverted I even hesitate when i have to adress strangers. Besides that, I'm an okay-ish guy of sort, bit depressive and with low self esteem, but one who's kind and usually takes jokes well, and often talks joking. I like to know about everything sciency-ish, and I'm a big fan of fantasy, pen and paper roleplaying, history and tales of chivalry. I am also a man of honor, and I like to uphold my given word as much as I can. I suffer no cheaters, no liars and I despise malicious people. I am aware I have a darker side when angered and I can be pretty vindictive with people I think deserve some comeuppance, but you have to try hard to make me draw that line, I assure you.

Background: Okay, I'm a guy from hispanic descent, but that's a given granted my name is Ricardo. I had enough sense when I was a kid to endure, shut up and learn. So I didn't fall in the easy way outs of being a teenager delinquent and I was diligent in my studies. It paid off big as I became a scientist of sorts, and not half bad at it.
But well, things didn't go as I had planned in my mind. I was squeezed without mercy by unscrupulous losses and I could qualify my social life as anecdotical and non existant. I was the target of professional bullying and that almost made me break. Until I drew the line and stood up, exposing the scumbags of my bosses in the process. I was fired. But hey, at least I watched them drowning in lawsuits by other people and being mercilessly devoured by the system. Time to start anew, I guess. But that wasn't working for some reason and I ended up as a borderline-depressed hermit unable to find job or friends. Kinda sucks.

Powers: You mean, besides the talking voice? GET OUT OF MY HEAD ITS PRIVATE. Just kidding. Well, I could also count my ability to do SCIENCE! but that doesn't work in this world doesn't it? Bugger. Ah there's something else. Even since I set foot on this kind of Middle-Earth-meets-Elm-Street knockoff some weird knowledge is nesting inside my brain folds. I'd say they are magic recipes. So yes, I might be on my way to become a wizard. But pretty much the only thing I can do now is heal some stuff (like I did with my bad eyesight), levitate a bit and toss some kind of sparkly fizzly magic ball... and I have to do the whole hand waving, concentrating, chanting and sometimes using ritual stuff, i guess. I'll probably get better at it though. Knowledge is power and that.

Personal Motive:This one's a no brainer. I want a decent living, a cute wife, a couple of kids and live a mostly calm and quiet life. But hey, I can't turn a blind eye to an honest plea for help so I'll tag along in the adventure. Heck, I might also find cute fantasy girls aswell. And the perspective of a lifelong study of this world is also appealing, too...

Mementos: My old scientist ID card. It's now just a piece of plastic, but it makes me remember the best of me, on how I helped humanity as whole developing knowledge.

  • Name: Susan Brooks
  • Age: 21 years old
  • Sex: Female
  • Appearance: Well... I know I'm kind of pretty and thankful about it. Nothing to write home about, but I look at myself in the mirror and I can smile about what I see and others get a good impression. I'm about average of heigh, standing at about 1,65 meters of height and light of weight. My build overall is kind of slender and fit... feminine but with subtle curves. My breasts are on the small side which is comfortable enough and I got my hips and butt to be proud off, neither are big really but they got a nice shape to them. My legs are also long for my size. My skin is kinda pale but it gets a nice color when I go out and get in the sun for a while. Finally my face... it's a pretty face, can't complain. Generally pleasing, though to stop most people in their tracks. I do have a nice smile and I'm glad for it. If you smile at people, it's very heartening to see them smile back at you, no? Ah... finally, my eyes are kind of ocean blue in tone and my hair, left to reach halfway down my back, is raven black and straight. Oh, and I also do have a bit of a scar on my torso... on my right side.
  • Personality: An introvert to begin with... I enjoy my time alone and while I seek out others for fun and engagement, I need time by myself to truly charge up my batteries. I'm proud to say that I'm an emotional person... I would never trade that part of myself. I cry at sad movies or when I remember them, I laugh at jokes and try to smile and say thank you and excuse me to everyone I meet. However, that goes for the good emotions... and feeling is not the same as expressing them. As much as I'm glad to be emotional... I'm glad to be able to control my emotions. That doesn't mean I feel whatever I want... but rather, that I can control my actions even when swept by strong emotion. Sometimes I slip... snap at someone when frustrated or the like, but most of the time I'm glad to be able to show a smile even if I feel under the weather. That's because I don't want to regret the actions I take. And I don't want to hurt those around me. Whatever I do, I want to mean it in my heart and mind. I also... kinda like justice. And the goodness. The sort of heroic things you read in books and watch on TV. I never really grew up from liking such fantasy, such wonder. I like dazzling and great heroes... and despise those who cause harm without thinking twice about it. Those who would harm and kill, who would be selfish enough to care not for the feelings of other as they hurt them. I thought long and hard about such things... and despite knowing that great heroes aren't all that real... that all villains have their motives, their anguish and other all too human motives to push them forward... I still can't forgive them. And I don't want to let go of the feelings in my heart. I love this world of mine with all of my heart... and at the same time, I hate it. I love it because it is what I know... because it is filled with color, with love, with nice people, with amazing inventions, great tastes and scents. And I hate it... by how unfair it can be, how simple, how hard and unchangeable. I also seem to like talking about myself, don't you think?
  • Background: My story is mostly like many others. Two loving parents, a privileged life. I didn't mind being alone when I was little, but I was with people I wanted them to laugh. I jumped and laughed, I made faces and told jokes. I loved being called pretty and clever, loved the smiling laughing faces and the praise. It's funny on retrospect... At this age I fell in love with heroes while at the same time being as far away of them as I could be. I was very active when playing and loving to make people laugh I started teasing others. It seemed like good fun... but I never took into account the feelings of those I made fun of. Some took it well. Some joked back at me. But some I hurt... little enough that I didn't truly notice. Or didn't want to notice. It wasn't until later... once I truly caught the tearful, wrathful face of one I made fun off... to see them transfer out of school to escape me and the bullies that were my friends that it all started to sink in. That I began to notice the sad faces, the hurt feelings. I wasn't so funny then when I began to backtrack. For a while I tried to deny it... but as I held back more and more, I lost my place among some of my friends. I got more time alone... and as I got to think of what I did I felt shame, sadness and hurt. I restrained myself and my emotions from showing. Spent more time alone and in the company of my heroes of fantasy. Grew more serious and subdued... even if I took a step in the right direction, my sadness did lead my thoughts astray more than a few times. But I grew past that. I got the end of adolescence with a smile on my lips... as I learned restraint, but more importantly, to take into account the feelings of others. I learned to make people smile in other ways... kind words to those passing by, common courtesies to those having a bad time, smiling just for the joy of meeting someone else. It was a good time for me and perhaps the world wasn't as perfect as in stories... however, so long as I took it all in with optimism things would be just fine. That is... until I got mugged. My city tends to be a relatively good place to live and I seldom saw anything make me fear. However, as I walked back from visiting a friend at night I got stopped by a man demanding my purse. I wasn't carrying anything all that valuable... only my keys, the simplest makeup, too little cash for it to matter and the like. The situation felt surreal to me... but at the same time, I was crystal clear in thought as it all happened. I should have given it to him... showed I was carrying nothing of value. That was the smart and the right thing to do. But I didn't. I bit my lip and I refused. I said no over and over again. Because... it wasn't right for this man to rob me. Because I had not done anything bad to him to deserve him to rob me, to threaten me. Because I didn't want to be a victim... I didn't want to give in to crime, to robbery. To the stuff in stories and TV. So I struggled. I was dead afraid. But I was also angry. And for it all, I got stabbed in the side... felt the cold steel of his folding knife digging into my skin... the puncture. The cut. The pain, wobbliness, the coldness. Darkness creeping on the side of my vision. And yet I held onto my purse... I continue to struggle. I cried out loud and finally he went away. I almost died that night... and over and over I got told how stupid I was to fight. And I told them I was. But in a dark corner of my mind... I was proud. Because I didn't give in. A bit... no, plenty crazy. But I stuck my ground. And as happy as I was for that, I was twenty times more scared. Because I felt the coldness. The weakness of blood leaving your body... making movement and thought sluggish and painful. I almost died because someone wanted the 22 dollars I carried on my purse. And had they had a gun, I would definitely be dead... into the beyond... or worse, nothingness. And while I'm alive now... now I know it. I will struggle again when faced with such an event. And next time, I won't be so lucky. No matter how much I struggle... in the world I come from, one bullet means I'm out. No matter my views... my emotions, my desire for good and justice. My world is cold and hard that way. But... that isn't the case in this new world, is it?
  • Powers: Two things, I have found... One is my body. I was a bit athletic before... but now I feel a step beyond that. My body is improved... it feels lighter, stronger, faster. I got more energy and I'm more fit that I was before. I can carry more without being tired... and I'm stronger than I remember. I guess, that comes from wanting to be a hero... a body capable of doing great things. To fight and struggle... to resist more. However... that is not all. I can move things away from myself... it's a force. I can pick up stuff from afar, push things... like telekinesis. I can feel the weight of it... of what I'm exerting. It gets weaker the farther I try to exert the power and stronger the closer I do. The power is invisible when I'm moving little weight... but the more power I exert, the more a blue aura appears, giving color to the force I'm exerting.
  • Personal Motive: I want to improve myself, in this world without boundaries. I want to look it all... meet new people. If there is bad... I wish to combat it. To bring smiles to people around me. And at the end of the day... I want to be happy as well. To take a corner and build up my life and powers. If possible I'd like to visit my world again... but not if it means leaving behind the powers I found... and this colorful land of my fantasies.
  • Mementos: Just two things I got... One is the folding knife that almost took my life. The robber left it stuck to my side, you see... and I asked to keep it. I haven't really parted with it ever since. The other thing is a silver necklace my mom bought me after I got out of the hospital... a small thing, but I know how much she wanted to cheer me up... and it reminded me of how much she cares for me and loves me. I do... want to see her again and dad too... my friends and my life. But picking... picking is hard.

All are accepted! Welcome!

@Tricheus

That depends. Flight is perfectly capable if it is your central theme, but hovering and levitation is also possible if it's a byproduct of magic or a spell. You could have powerful wings capable of taking hits from swords and bullets and lifting you high into the sky if you truly wanted. Just to give you an example. (Think of the movie Maleficent)

Name: Johnny. I don't know what my last name is though

Age: 13

Sex: Male

Appearance: Yeah, I know I'm not much to look at

Personality: Honestly, there's not much to say. I'm not used to talking with people much, so I'm kind of quiet. Some people might say that I have a self-esteem problem, but I honestly think that my self-esteem is pretty close to me self worth. After all, if you get told enough times that you're unwanted and unloved, then you start to believe that yourself. Also, I don't think it'll be easy for me to trust people; I've been lied to far too many times. Coupled with my lack of self-worth, and I'll have a hard time believing that anyone could care about me. Doesn't mean I can't try to humor them though. It's strange though; despite how lonely I am, I'm not depressed or anything like that. I feel like I've come to terms with it and become...not happy but, I think 'okay' with my life.

Background: Honestly, I don't have much of a background; I'm just an unwanted orphan. I've been at the orphanage for as long as I can remember, it's a pretty crappy place. Even if there was enough food and space for everyone there, I feel like my emotional needs were never fulfilled. I was always alone; even where other kids my age started breaking off into their own little groups, I found myself left out. I'm not sure why or how, but it supported the 'no one could ever want me' thing that people kept telling me. I tried to reach out to others, tried to make friends, but it never worked. Eventually I just gave up, I stopped thinking it was worth the effort. That's pretty much all I have to say about my life before. Other then what I've just said, nothing really noteworthy or even memorable happened. I suppose that's why I'm excited to be in this new place; I don't feel like I'm leaving anything behind

Powers: Ever since I got here, this thing that keeps following me. Even if I can't see it, I know it's still there, I can feel it's presence. Not only that, but when it does show up, it appears out of nowhere and really close to me. I'm not sure what it wants, but at least it doesn't want to hurt me. To be honest, it's almost like it's protecting me. I really hope it's just trying to protect me, because it looks strong enough to rip me in half, and fast enough to catch me if I try to run. However, the strangest thing about it is these words that pop into my head whenever I look at it

Believe In Nexus

I'm not sure what that means. Although...it could be it's name

Personal Motive: I don't want much, really I don't. All I'm looking for is something to stop the loneliness. It feels awful, being surrounded by other people, yet feeling isolated. I just want someone, anyone to make me feel like I matter, someone who will care if I live to see tomorrow, someone who will stand by my side. That's not too much to ask for...is it?

Mementos: I guess this rusty ring I have might count. I'm not sure where it came from, but something inside of me just won't let me get rid of it. I guess I'm hoping it was my parent's, that it would mean that someone cared for me

Name: Linnea Falk
Age: 11
Sex: Female

At around 4 foot tall, Linnea is a thin and tiny girl with a kind face that is used to smiling and vivid light-green eyes that hide Linnea's yearning for freedom from the prison that is her frail body. Slow of movement, a quiet voice and long, ethereal white hair give her the feeling of a wintry ghost in slow motion. She wears oversized hand-me-down dress shirts and sweaters over dresses and skirts for convenience sake, but prefers jeans and pants whenever she has the strength to put them on.

Personality: Linnea is a melancholy mix of kindness, sadness, curiosity/naiveté, and in stark contrast to her weak body, an iron will and determination. She has found it her personal calling to be kind-hearted and almost always has a smile on her face and a greeting for others. But, Linnea doesn't really laugh. She smiles often, most of them forced, but she's used to it. Her sadness and anguish comes from the fact that she feels she is a burden on her family, and that she misses them so much. Her smile is a way for her to hide/push away the sadness so that others wont worry over her and to show how appreciative she is.
Because of her sheltered upbringing, she is very curious about the outside world, it's peoples and cultures. She can be very curious about strangers, but too shy to ask too many questions. She loves all cuisine and is always willing to try new food. She also really loves flowers! Her most used color is white, but her favorite color is yellow. She has a strange and almost unconscious habit of picking up small objects to fiddle with while she is deep in thought or engaged in conversation, and then later realizing she has the object and not knowing where she got it from.

Background: Linnea grew up in a loving but struggling family with a single mother who worked herself to the bone, and an older brother who dreamed of going to college, then making it big and bringing prosperity to their poor family. Linnea always had a weak health and constitution, but a year ago she was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease. She could still walk, but she got tired very quickly and easily, and the doctors said it would only get worse.
It was then, because of expensive medical costs, that her brother decided to quite school to take on multiple jobs and help out the family, but the mother wouldn't allow it and there were many arguments. They finally decided that the brother would at least finish high school before joining the workforce, but even then, the mother was heart broken that her hard work couldn't even allow her son to go to college. Linnea saw all this. Saw how much they loved her and worked hard for her. She loved them So much! But she could do nothing for them. So she smiled for them. Even if she would cry and cry on the inside, she would and least smile and show her appreciation for being loved so much.
On her eleventh birthday they took her to a nearby flower plantation where they had a fun and peaceful day enjoying the flowers, the sun, and a picnic. Her mother and brother both got her a white poppy flower each, which made Linnea really happy. But then, her mother cried. She cried and begged for forgiveness for not being able to give Linnea a better birthday, a better life. Linnea and her brother both tried to soothe her, but they both ended up crying instead, all of them holding onto each other.
The next day, Linnea packed a duffle bag, left a loving goodbye note on the kitchen table, and left home...

Powers: Linnea's powers basically give her stereotypical ghost abilities. She can hover as if she is in a zero-g state, but she can control her direction and orientation with ease. She can't fly very fast (yet), only at normal walking pace. She can also become immaterial and phase through objects and people. Eventually, she may be able to make objects and other people fly and phase like she can, as long as she is touching it/them.

Personal Motive: Linnea doesn't know how she will ever be able to do it, but she wants to one day become able-bodied and financially successful so that she can take care of her mother and brother, who have both sacrificed so much to care and love her. She wants to return that 10 fold.
A small goal in her life is to sample/experience all the types of food from around the world.

Mementos: Other than a duffle bag of clothing, she brought with her a family photo album with 2 pressed white poppy blossoms in it (one with a blue ribbon, and one with a green ribbon). Linnea felt really bad for taking the photo album, but she needs it, and will occasionally look through it to reinforce her determination.
