he took her hand for a second as she suggested the Inn "I'd like that" he shifted slightly in his seat as they started moving "I'm not too heavy am I?" he glanced back at her with a loving smile "I can push myself, you know" he leaned back in his chair though, he was still pretty tired and this was easier, but he always suggested anyway. It wasn't far to the Inn so it shouldn't take too long. He wondered who would be there now, he hadn't talked to the other residents of their little town very much lately, he wasn't the most sociable person but he didn't really need to be. he glanced up at her again and smiled.
@chukklehed Hey Chuck, I'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to post for Oliver School and work have been pounding me. (and I had a tiny bit of an emotional break a couple days ago) I'm not entirely sure how to proceed anyone in the Inn you want to meet up with? or anyone free for some interaction with the lovely couple?
he chuckled lightly as she pushed him back into the chair, he shifted slightly to get more comfortable. "I didn't get a wink of sleep last night but I suppose that's normal for me" he smiled warmly at her and took her hand. when she mentioned maintenance he sighed. she sat on the arm of his wheelchair and he wrapped an arm around her waist "not as much as I should I suppose" he sighed again "I don't want to bother anyone honey, they're all busy people with important things to do, why should they waste time trying to help me?" he kissed her hand "I'm alright, i just haven't had time to work on my legs recently, with all the problems with the paper, don't worry about me" He smiled at her "I haven't eaten yet, have you? we should go get something"
when he heard her voice he smiled and looked up at her. he put a hand on top of her. "Sorry honey, i just really needed a break, if i stared at that paper for any longer i would start crying" he chuckled, just being around her put him in a better mood. "what have you been up to, gardening?" he carefully turned the chair to look up at her, and carefully pushed himself to his feet. he couldn't really move but he could stand there. standing he was taller then her and carefully put his arms around her waist "how are you this morning, my love?" he asked, smiling widely, staring into her lilac eyes."you get any sleep last night?"
Andromeda -
she sat quietly on a bench. it over-looked the busiest street of their little community. she had a sketch pad on her lap, opened to a fresh page, a set of water colors balanced on her knee. the wind gently pulled at the veil over her face. it fluttered but did not come free. she watched everyone around her with quiet bemusement. she didn't talk very often anymore but she still found people fascinating, she hadn't had much interaction with people before she went to Athalia, and when she got there she had gotten better. but the destruction of the school had damaged her, she knew it, she'd reverted in a manner of speaking. she preferred the safety of her own mind to dealing with people. but the interactions among them were interesting. she twirled a pencil in her hand before stopping and quickly sketching out the tree in front of her. then she went back to twirling it and watching people go by.
Oliver rubbed at his eyes and with a sigh he pushed away from his desk. the rough draft of the newspaper he and his wife ran was sitting in front of him. he'd been up all night and it still wasn't ready. he wasn't sure where Scillia was but he needed a break so he decided to go find her. he rolled out the doors, that had been, kindly enough, built with him in mind. a few employees were trickling in, a few were trickling out, looking just as exhausted as he felt. he stopped one "have you seen Scillia?" he shook his head. Oliver sighed "thanks" and he rolled over to the small kitchenette before remembering the counters were a bit tall for him. he huffed a little and went back into the main room and looked around. he wasn't sure where she had gone.
It had been a long time since Athalia burned, but as he looked around he honestly sometimes forgot that. some of these people were still feeling the effects of it. Oliver himself was still recovering. as he rolled along he could acutely feel the scar across his abdomen, it still hurt sometimes. this place wasn't the same. Athalia had been like home, and he knew that this should be, but he just didn't feel it. it was like the school would always be his home, even if it wasn't there anymore.
he rolled out the door carefully and glanced around."Scillia!"
First things first, I'd like to give kudos to @chukklehed and @Driving Park for being awesome people in general. Though I was initially skeptical about many things, what they discussed with me changed my stance on the reboot by quite the large margin. With that said, I will continue to participate in Athalia, albeit without a Co-GM status- as a regular member, to say it simply, as I have discovered that without that title, I can feel far less stressed.
Age: 22 Gender: male Species/Race: spirit warrior height: sitting - roughly 4' | standing - 5'8" weight: 150 lbs. hair color: Dirty Blonde eye color: Green skin color: very lightly tanned figure: kind of boney and thin but not unhealthily so Job: computer technician (?)
Powers:
Spiritual release - he can send his spirit out of his body to do his bidding, it can fight with anything that has a soul (but not without, however if he uses it to throw objects or use other things to hurt it, it can still do that), his spirit is bound by all of the rules of normal ghosts, has to concentrate to affect inanimate objects, will go through walls, ext, except that to a being with a soul he is effectively a solid object, albeit a little harder to hit. he can still be harmed in spirit form, though it's harder and in general requires some kind of magical assistance (but considering literally everything at Athalia has some magic that doesn't change much XD)
Spiritual conversion - if someone's spirit is weak enough he can pull it from their body, this doesn't kill the person but renders their physical body immobile while their spirit is outside of it, at which point the spirit can fight him or try and flee back into it's own body. but for strong-willed people trying to do this might hurt but it won't be able to pull their spirit out (whether or not someone is strong or weak willed is up to gms)
Weaknesses:
Separation - when his spirit is outside of his body, he's immobile and can in no way defend himself, if he and his spirit are separated then he'll start getting sick and the longer they're apart the worse it gets until he dies.
Claustrophobia - he's claustrophobic, even as a spirit so if you can get him in a small enough area he'll get scared and won't know how to react.
mechanical legs - his legs are heavier then the rest of him and make him severally bottom heavy whenever he tries to move on his own or if people try to carry him. and even when they work they are very barely the same strength as a normal human's legs and can keep him up and allow him to walk but their only addition in strength comes from how heavy they are.
Personality:
he has Intermittent explosive disorder, so he'll get angry over the smallest thing and over-react. but otherwise he's a total sweet heart, a quiet and kind man, who tries not to get in anyone's way or be a bother, but he's fiercely loyal and when he finds someone that he is loyal to he'll put them above himself every time. He is angered mainly by injustice, meaness, bullying, or disbelief due to his own experiences. being a trauma survivor he has very mild PTSD and relies on Scillia to keep him from blowing up.
he was in an accident as a kid, and in the crash his legs were crushed. it was also during this crash that he discovered his abilities, when he was thrown from the car his spirit pulled itself from his body.
when people didn't believe him afterwards he got angry and developed Intermittent explosive disorder and because he was uncontrollable his parents had him put in an asylum in hopes of him getting better.
his legs had to be amputated and a scientist decided to try an idea for cybernetic legs on him. the idea was faulty at best and the legs rarely work, though in occasional bursts he can in fact use them.
he learned to better control his powers, to a degree, and a representative from Athalia came and offered to take him to the school, claiming it was a new-age psychiatric facility. his parents agreed and when they were alone the representative explained what Athalia really was and brought him there to begin his education.
There he met Scillia and when the school was attacked he fought and, while he was wounded in the battle, he survived, leaving him with a rather nasty scar on his abdomen, and they escaped.
He asked Scillia to marry him and she said yes. he works on most anything technical for their people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and here is Andro's
Medusa's Stare: Like Medusa, if someone looks directly into Andromeda's eyes they will turn to stone. She constantly wears either a veil or a pair of sunglasses so people won't be able to see her eyes.
Serpent Servants: Andromeda can speak to and exercise minor control over snakes (sort of more persuasion then control), and has complete control over the snakes on her head. If she doesn't specifically tell them to do something (telepathically) they pretty much just reflect her current mood.
Snake form: Andromeda has the Ability to turn her legs into a snake tail for short periods of time, however, it physically drains her to do so, if she goes in this form for too long she'll pass out and will have to wait hours before she can go into the form again. in this form she is much faster then on her legs and can exercise stronger (but still not complete) control over snakes being more like the creatures now.
Weaknesses:
Mortal: She is mortal, and as such mortal weapons can kill her, gun shot, sword through the gut, ext.
Cold-blooded: Andro is especially weak against cold (since she is in fact cold-blooded, since she's kind of part snake in a way)
trust issues: years of mental and emotional abuse from her mother have made it hard for her to trust people, she is still friendly, but hardly lets people close to her.
Personality:
very shy, is friendly and wants to have friends but doesn't know how to go about it, socially awkward, kind, often returns to her Greek roots in appearance and actions as well as speech.
Background:
Andromeda is in fact Medusa descendant, the stoning powers skipped a generation so her mother thought she had been normal and when she had a baby that turned a nurse to stone when she finally opened her eyes, she shunned her and locked her up, home-schooling her and always teaching her there was something wrong with her. and as she was never allowed to look anyone, even her own mother in the eyes, she now has trouble doing that, seeing it as Taboo, despite the fact her gaze won't turn people to stone as long as she has her veil on. she was sent there when she got an invitation to study and her mother was happy to get rid of her. she started to open up a little before the school was attacked and now she has returned to much of her original reclusive habits.
