Are Medusa's body hairs actually just tiny snakes?

Bio


I'm a sucker for romance, sci fi, fantasy and just about any modern city with a twist like monster hunting or super powers. Been writing for years, I didn't learn how to read till I was 12 so the moment I got the hang of it, I could not stop. Filling journals with stories one after the other, my younger sister eventually got me into role playing and it created a monster. I will play with you all day if you reply, post for post and will give you as much detail as I can.

Well I'll be able to post pretty much anytime. Just can't continue till Gurren1 posts since he has Brick at posting point and hes the only one Auroa can mess with and Eden is waiting on his other guy
Name: Kaite Marie
Age: 21
Gender: female

Appearance:


Personality: Kaite is a soft spoken woman. A voice that is sometimes will strain the ears to listen though carried lightly. Her eyes almost always closed due to them making others uncomfortable. Usually knowing a lie only when its spoken she has a keen sense of environment, yet when she is in her own environment she is seen as a strong, even demanding person. Carrying herself in a way that is seen as one who is known to be respected. She's slow to open to others yet dose not turn a soul away. Beware though, if you cross her once you'll never get as close to her again.

God: Poseidon (God of the sea and creator of horses)

Abilities: She has a far deeper connection to horses than a normal rider.

History: Kaite was practically born blind, the affects of her being albino caused her retinas to die when she was only a few weeks old. Because of this her parents done everything they could to give their child a normal life. Letting her listen to music that she could not play and to listen to books that she could not read.
It all changed when her aunt came back from a world championship in jumping. Two thoroughbreds behind her caused Kaite to become obsessed with the power the creatures possessed. Her parents even finding her between the hooves of one of the animals causing her family to become worried. Yet her aunt saw something in the child and began to train her in riding.

Kaite began to breath the life of a horse woman, yet it was not till she was 14 when she began to experience the change. It was as though the animal beneath her understood every word she spoke. Becoming a legend almost overnight, trick riding, dressage, jumping trails, anything that required a horse she became a champion with it. When at school or home the click of her cane and shuffled steps are all too loud for anyone to ignore the fact that shes disabled. But now, paired with a friesian stallion named Dreux she had a life that she would have never had before. One where she is not forgotten.
Now she is starting collage, heading to new York on a scholarship shes trying to find something else to do besides horses in case something happens that would prevent her from turning this into her career. She now lives at the stable that she is currently boarding her stallion at, sleeping in the grooms quarters and taking the bus everywhere she goes.



Other: Always has the smell of the ocean on her, and keeps her life with horses away from classmates.
The gods may be gone, but we are not alone...




Gods have an ultimate power, the driving force of customs and cultures that have shaped the world even after they have left it so long ago. Now the streets are filled with the footsteps of humans, the skies are filled with the craving of creatures without flight. The land is loosing its glimmer, green is taken by steel, the barrier from space is cracking as though made of glass, and the vary air itself is being poisoned by each and every action we take.
Yet the words that cross the winds bear a lighter tune. Tales of those across the waves have been seen to appear as though the ones who have left this place long ago are trying to continue their legacy through those who seem to have changed. Men running through the Arctic with no protection but his skin alone, children seeming to have known the secrets to life itself. The world is changing, and their are a selected few that seem to have begun to change with it.

As you go through your days you come into contact with someone, their gender unknown while their figure is clothed from head to toe. A hood preventing you from seeing their face. Yet even so you help this person in some way, be it hold the door, an umbrella over the figure's head in the rain, or something as simple as a kind word. The person raising its head ever so slightly you see a glimpse of a smile in thanks, a nod of the head before he or she leaves.
The next day you find a strange mark on your body. A thought occurring to you that you have seen it from somewhere, but you can't put your finger on it, only that you now feel different, be it you're becoming stronger, smarter, a new talent emerging from your fingertips as though your life is starting a new journey.
And so, your story starts here.

This is a RP allowing your characters to start to gain new powers and have to learn how to control, use or even master as time progressives. Quests will be hinted at you through some of my own replies and if you act on them you can advance in your abilities. These can go from gaining the courage to ask someone out, to investigating a crime to even coming into contact with a creature or person that corresponds to your current god.
Like if you have chosen a goddess like Khali you could actually run into blood seed so be careful on who you choose because jobs, missions or quests will vary depending on who you choose.

Of course your character will change over time, thats the fun part of you being able to control someone you can change them. But I will be watching your interactions and actions and Message you when your character’s abilities become stronger. Your powers were started because of your first quest, you helped a unknown figure in some way.
Do not worry I will keep tabs on every character so if you need a refresh on how strong you are in a ability than do not hesitate to ask.
How is your powers measure you may ask? Well each character that starts I will roll a die for, just a d6. That will be your base strength and quests will allow it to rise and in rare cases they can even fall.




I'll be on all night tonight, just finished half my finals so got nothing to do outside of school. Anyone else gonna be here?
In Dice 9 yrs ago Forum: Casual Roleplay
Name: Kaite Marie, now known as Xafina Nareen for her act

Age: 20

Gender: female

Appearance:


Personality: Xafina is at first seen to be a vary soft spoken and carefully poetic person at first glance. A shy thing that would never be the first to approach to most that see her she keeps to herself with a constant far away and clouded gaze.

Yet those who see her in her element will say otherwise. A challenging woman who will demand the upmost respect and will return it when she sees fit. When she has the support of one of her companions at her back she gains a boost of confidence so different that some think its inhuman to see such a change in her. Voicing her opinion to the point that she can even be called rude at times. Yet the moment she realizes shes in the wrong she will revert back to her timid soft spoken self and seek the company of those who do not speak her language after apologizing relentlessly.

History: Kaite was pretty much born blind, caused by the deterioration of her retinas when colour had not been fully produced due to being albino. When faced with this challenge her parents done everything they could to make sure that their youngest child would be able to have a normal life. Introducing her to music that she found she could not play but enjoyed, and reading her stories that she can not read, yet found she could picture in her own way.
When she was six however was when things began to change. Her aunt moving back to the country from competing in jumping was armed with four stallions, Kaite had become infatuated with the creatures. Massive beasts with power like non she had ever felt. Once her parents found her missing only to find her between the hooves of a percuron stallion that stood at 17 hands. Saying she could have been killed her aunt countered with saying she had a gift that was unlike the normal rider and so she began to teach her niece how to ride.

It did not take long for the Marie family to find that their tiny albino of a daughter had a connection with the animals. Found carefully feeling her way through the barn she would only speed up when a horse nicked. When she would walk amoung humans armed with a cane she would take slow shuffled steps, yet on the back of a equine one could see her going full speed down the arena as though she were possessed by the spirits of hunters.
Because of this it was beyond difficult to find friends. She didn't want them, why would you want to become friends with people who constantly put you down because you had weird hair and eyes, or would leave you behind to go and play when you had the power of a stallion waiting egarly at your beck and call back home?

And so Kaite began to live and breath the life of the horse woman. Learning everything she could she took to competing in dressage and even trick riding. Something her parents are beyond against when seeing their "frail" blind child stand tall on the back of a horse or let her body fall, grazing the ground next to the thundering hooves of 40mph. And so to keep up with the demands of wanting to compete for herself instead of her aunt she bought two freisian stallions. Realizing that their appearance complemented hers and gave her the prefect chance to entrance a judge when in the ring. Those two creatures named Loki and Mischief became her true friends. The ones to know all her secrets, the ones who caused her pain, but were the ones to apologize.


Though shes done this without realizing she put her family on hold, loosing contact with them for years as she took to the arenas and soaking in the attention that someone like her would have never gotten had it not been for her aunt. Even changing her name to Xafine Nareen to fit her appearance more. Living in the Marie home yet it seemed as though her and her parents were strangers to each other
But even so she was forced to go to collage even after wanting to go to the Olympics one day so that she dose not loose sight of whats actually important. Though she keeps her horse life and normal school as far as she can so she can avoid distractions her family began to find that she dose not put even a fraction of efforts to her studies as she dose to her horses.

Armed with disability and her winnings from shows and competition she found she has been able to fuel her obsession, her life style kept from class mates she's been seen at the back of the room. Though once when she was in class she dropped her pencil, feeling across the floor her fingers grasped a smooth texture with distinct holes forming a pattern that was not quit Braille, asking what it was someone told her it was a die yet no one claimed it.

Specializations:
high: Perception
Due to loosing her sight Xafina is beyond attuned to her surroundings using sound, touch and smell. Shes been known to be able to tell if someone is lying based on their speech patterns and has been known to guess people and horses appearance such as weight, gender and sometimes uses it in the show arena to find if an animal is injured or coming up lame. Her cane is all she needs to find her way around the world, and shes been able to work even without it when in the arena.

average: Agility,
working with horses has caused her to be light on her feet. Though she has almost no hand eye coordination, for someone without her sense of sight she is top notch. Able to use the sounds around her she has dodged her fair share of gym equipment or ducked out of the way from a spooked horse.

low: calmness
Due to her soft spoken nature and working with such large animals her entire life, Xafina has found her way out of bullying, and hardships just from the air around her alone. Even with her inability to approach someone on her own, shes found others have come to seek her help when in hard times, stating that her voice and even appearance is a soft and welcome sight that often calms the mind. This is sometimes disbanded though when she is at work with someone or something stubborn and shes at a show.

Imperfections:
high: strength
Even though shes been seen thrown from the back of a horse and gotten up just fine, or able to hold onto one when it spooked. The girl can not throw a punch, shes found endurance and strength to be two different things, only able to lift sixty pounds on a really good day and not for long she would be at the losing end if someone thought it was a good idea to beat up a cripple.

average: Perfectionist
She can't stand the thought of loosing. Her entire life was made around one thing and when her name is not called in the arena she sometimes finds herself breaking down. The same can be seen for school, or even something as simply as not living up to someone expectations such as when someone thought she would be some ethereal presences of fantasy when in reality she was a timid horse woman. Shes never handled defeat well.

low: independence
The disability that allowed her to be so good at what she dose is also one of her greatest downfalls. She can't read anything unless its in Braille, she can't tell if someone is making a strange face at her and can only notice the tone through sound and feeling. There are many times were she can not go out because she needs a guide. When shes introduced to a new place someone has to be with her multiple times in order for her to get a feel for it, and if something is wrong for her she will not know till someone points it out such as messy hair, something on her cloths or even a injury such as a bruise or even bleeding when she thought she just scraped herself. Even then she still tries to be independent.

Other: she is a major nerd for fantasy. One of her dreams is to become apart of a ren fair equine team and be known as a snow elf. You can tell her what things like LoTR looks like for hours and she will still never get board of it and will often go listen to the movies by herself if she has to.

@Three
and there we go, had to go to school so sorry she took so long
@Gurren1
sorry about that, its just a conversation I swear
@Crossfire

have to say it, more I read about Brick the more I think him and Aurora are become fast friends with their weapon obsession.
@Crossfire

"No wonder why shes not sounding right, only used one" soft mumbles escaped her as she kept writing everything down with practiced hands. How had she not heard of this guy before? This was actually, well it was a good source of information and he wasn't even asking her to pay? And offering to be a supply line?

Before long her pages were filled, looking over everything to make sure they were in place. "Wow, this is incredible, I never thought to a Tesla pack, than again had not worked with them as much as I would have liked." Sighing she looked up in thought, hearing the offer causing her to blink. "Brick? Well than thank you so much, if I ever find a way to escape and get a horse I'll be sure to stop by and be a paying customer."

Wheeling back to her project though she began to realize what the amount of power the beauty had would do to her. "Shes gonna be a one time use...power like that with her body is going to over heat her to the point that she'll melt to the Tesla pack and eat the core...." She sounded genuinely sad to realize that using the weapon would ultimately destroy it. A creation from her own hands and only gets to take in one breath.
Still, Eden needed to get into the vault and that is exactly what shes going to do. "Thank you Brick, sorry, forgot to turn off the radio."
She was quick to turn it off when she realized the light was still flashing. Pushing down her thoughts she went through her stations, it would be a bit till Eden came back, and by then she expected herself to find a way to open that door.
@Crossfire

"Tesla power converter.." Already she was writing everything he said word for word, looking at her books down the faded titles of her collections that shes been keeping. "Short term should be aright, shes beautiful but far too heavy for long term use, with the right power output though I'm expecting her to get through a vault." Looking through her documents of supplies she let out a whistle. Since when was the last time she worked with energy? She had a few energy cells? Still she'll have to get Eden to look for the rest.

Hearing the offer though caused her to freeze. Shes had people over without Eden knowing but it was extremely selective. One was someone from the brotherhood of steel cause they found her hoarding lost tech, it was a lengthy process but because of it her knowledge expanded and they were given some bits that she had no use for.
But someone, a normal person from the commonwealth. Looking down at her chair made her uneasy. It was always a game of chance, if it were up to her sibling she would never see the sun and live a long life. And so she grew a rebellious streak but let someone from the waste land know of her location?
"I..I'm well, I don't know. You see I'm in a situation where I can't trust that information to anyone I don't know and trust with 100% accuracy. I can build her here, but if you need me to I can still pay for the information you just gave me....." Her voice trailed off, she would have appreciated the help but would allowing someone like forge near her sanctuary be okay? And more so could she do it without Eden finding out?
@Crossfire

Hearing the voice on the other end Aurora was actually surprised to find a cool and collected personality on the other end of the speaker. Looking around she began to collect her thoughts, grabbing her desk so she wouldn’t slide away. A young voice unscathed from the wasteland escaping her lungs.

"Oh umm, yes hello. I'm in the process of making a new laser riffle with a more compacted point. I was using most of the pieces from sniper barrels and scopes and used a old military circuit board to narrow the path and streamline of the laser so that instead of it being a wide range weapon it would be extremely precise and go through things like steel. I have her put together but the only power source I can think of is a calibrated fusion core remastered so that it tunes out more juice to get her running. Problem is she would only live for a few minutes and I was wondering if you had any ideas for a longer life span, I'll be willing to send over the caps needed for the information if you have it."

She was serious about it to, tapping at her desk she kept looking back at he creation that if worked right could cut through something like a vault door if what her sister said about them was true. She was heavy, and nameless, but she could do some amazing things if given to the right reason. "Hello? Are you still there sir?"
