[U][B][Color=D2691E]NAME :[/Color][/B][/U] Elliot Sinclair [U][B][Color=D2691E]ALIAS :[/Color][/B][/U] Retro [U][B][Color=D2691E]AGE :[/Color][/B][/U] 16 [U][B][Color=D2691E]GENDER :[/Color][/B][/U] Female [U][B][Color=D2691E]ABILITIES :[/Color][/B][/U][hider=POWERS]Omnilingualism Elli can speak, write, understand and communicate in any language including computer codes, languages that have never been heard before, sign language, l ip-reading, illegible words, and backwards speech / writing: Psychometry Elli obtains historical memories or sensations concerning beings and objects by touching them. With objects she gains the knowledge including the makers, users, and even those who have on passing used the object, and what has been done with it. With living beings or parts of the body she learns their general life-history, but doesn't gain anything of what they were thinking or feeling.[/hider] [U][B][Color=D2691E]WEAKNESS :[/Color][/B][/U] Eli has trouble sometimes connecting with what she calls present time. When this happens her perception of the world isn't based on what is happening in real time but on what might have happened an hour, a day or a week ago. This usually only happens after prolonged use of her Psychometry ability. When this happens she must either remain passive an still so that she doesn't run into things like people that weren't in the past she is experiencing. [U][B][Color=D2691E]APPEARENCE[/Color][/B][/U] [IMG]http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk2/intoxicating-cherry/Girls/Real%20Girls/brunette-1.jpg[/IMG] [U][B][Color=D2691E]PERSONALITY :[/Color][/B][/U] Eli is a very friendly person who enjoys helping people in need. She is driven by a sense of justice that means she'll go the distance to see that those who commit injustice are brought to their due. It was from her parents that Eli learned her dedication to scholastic pursuits and right and wrong which is why she was thought of as a Geek and cold. [U][B][Color=D2691E]BACKGROUND :[/Color][/B][/U] Eli was born on Strange Island in the Okefenokee Swamp in the cabin her parents live in even now. Frank Sinclair her father is a game warden and her mother Elizabeth a herpetologist who specializes in taxonomy and physiology of the reptiles that live in the southeast of the United States. Raised in an environment where she rode with her mom an dad as they performed their jobs Elli saw both handling wild animals and the huge reptiles of the swamp she became something akin to a tomboy. It was though on her 12th birthday in a historic cabin that Elli experienced her first Flashback. Her grandmother had given her a ring given to her when she too turned 12 and was passed down for 7 generations. When Elliot put it on and hugged her granny she felt herself fall from the present reality and be transported backwards in time. At first Elli was confused then terrified as she felt like a ghost amid no one with the gift to sense her. She was at a party which made it easier to calm down an simply observe as she watched and listened, it was the familiar ritual of the passing of the ring from an older woman and a young girl that stunned Elliot. The girl was her granny and she thought the older woman might be aunt Emily who died when Elli was 3 going on 4. It was so real that it was impossible tell she wasn't really there. She could hear every word, see everything clearly and even smell the refreshments. She got so interested in what was going on that when it all ended with her return to the present reality she felt almost as much shock. Her parents thought that she'd had some neurological episode and were set for rushing her to the hospital till granny bade them wait. She then asked Elliot about what had happened which the 12 year old related in detail. It was lucky that a thunder storm had kept everyone but her parents, granny, grandfather an two elder widowed aunts Her parents worried about their daughter developing more obvious abilities so started to home school her in an attempt to screen her away from discovery. It was while sequestered away that Elliot discovered that she could touch things and carefully look backwards and control when she looked and when she returned. It was when she was talking to a Mexican girl last year that she discovered she'd been speaking spanish a language that she had only recently been learning online but that her new friend said she spoke flawlessly. Curious she made her way to a store run by a Pakistani family and while there discovered she could understand every word they spoke but when she read the religious Arabic script she was floored. It was these Discoveries that made Elli seek a place to better understand what she was becoming; this was how she eventually discovered the existence of the school and applied before she develops another ability and it be dangerous and out of her control.
