Aurora Lorell

Name:Aurora Lorell

Quote:"One should never fear the dark. Just enjoy the light you have left."

Alias: Nevermore
Age: 24
Gender: female
Notoriety: Missing
Level: yellow
Family: Father: Rick Lorell, Mother: Sarah Lorell
Occupation: Horse trainer and retired Olympic rider.

Appearance:

Hider

Aurora is seen to be a beauty. With a lean build and fair skin standing in at around 5,2. Her eyes are what really set her apart besides the snowy form. Red and clouded as though in a veil of mist she almost always keeps them closed due to being bullied as a child. Many saying they are unnerving to look at.

Method of Operation: No one knows that its truly her. Those that have gained her help have only seen the creatures that she calls forth. Usually beasts from mythology that have few features. If shes forced to be seen she stays silent, trying to keep her age and gender a secret. If anyone found out who she was, the world would find out everything about her in minutes.
Instead she uses her tour as a way to keep her location foggy. Being a world and Olympic rider, she has been to all corners of the world. Each one earning a job or two from her. Her method of transportation is a horse she had conjured herself, what she sees as the only link one could give her. Still she reminds herself that she should never get involved with things too big, but the chance to use her abilities has always been too tempting.

Mask

Superpower: Aurora has the ability to conjure beasts from stories she has read or been told. Using a leather bound journal as a catalyst to recite the right lines to call forth her companions. She found that the larger impact a story holds to her, the easier it is to call her creatures. Though strange enough she has found that it is more difficult to create that which is already in this world. Being able to make a wraith she has massive difficult in creating a bird.
Many would think this ability is limitless. Sadly Aurora must read or hear the tale in which her conjure is being made from. Even than she can't always make them unless it had a impact on her in some way. Because of this she has a habit of asking others for stories. Any kind hoping that she could advance her abilities further.
Her biggest weakness is that this only works when she has a sound mind and when the book is open. Growing up taming thousand pound animals has made her difficult to frighten. But if she falls pray to fear, the companions she had called would turn on her. If her book is closed her train of thought would break, causing the creatures to disperse and leave her side.

Skills: an amazing horse back rider, her hearing is better than most. Memory is above average. Shes been told that her voice is rather calming due to her nature. Shes also had a good chance of catching a lie so long as it's spoken.

Equipment: Book of tales.

Hider

Every story is written in Braille. Because of this she keeps it hidden from view and no one has yet to look through it's pages. If someone found out what was inside than the trail would be short in finding out that Aurora is the owner.

Personality: Aurora is a seeker of knowledge. Someone who needs to know things small and large. Heavy and light. This was due to the fact that she was born blind, growing up with being sheltered and lead around she found herself growing tired of the treatment quickly. Even though she would have a pilot smile when someone offers to take her hand or tell her where something is, she would find herself loathing on the inside. Wanting to be as independent as she can be. Pushing herself to be better at what she dose to prove to those around her that she dose not need her eyes in order to live her life. She thinks that many who help her do it not for herself, but so they could feel better. Thinking that they would be a hero for a small moment, she can not stand the thought of being a tool used in someone's self need to feel important. And thus it has only added to her independence.

Yet even with the quite demands of independence, Aurora is a calming presence. Soft spoken shes not one to raise her voice. When it comes to her friends, she is usually the one to end a fight with words alone. Comforting others when they are in need not using sayings of encouragement, but sitting at their side in silence.
She had an interesting habit though. When in good company she tends to speak in riddles, thinking that it's due to the stories she obsesses over, she tries her best to keep it under wraps. Even so, those who she calls friends will tell her she slipped back into her odd way of speaking.
Her greatest fear is being in absolute silence, she also tends to tap her finger on her cane. Sound is her greatest asset and without it she turns into a shell of her usual self. Fumbling over words and sometimes not able to use her powers safely.

Biography: Aurora was born into the business of horses. Her father a trick rider and her mother a cross country racer, the two were a power house in the equestrian world. Before she was even born they were getting her ready with what style and what horse she would ride, only for their dreams to be crushed when they saw her for the first time. A tiny albino who's retinas never even developed leaving her blind.

Yet that did not stop the girl from living up to her family's potential. She became connected with the animals that her family made a living from. Every fall she went through, she would stand from, no injury would ever scare her away. The feeling of power a horse would give was too great to leave. Where in any other situation she would be led around and treated like a child. In the arena she was expected to handle things herself and for once she herself could be the leader. At age six she was competing in not only trick riding, but cross country and dressage.
Having a love for the stories that her mother would read her. Aurora began to print Braille in her own journal, often reading them out loud to her horse. After all, he was the only one that could deal with a 13 year old speaking for hours at a time. Sleeping in the stalls with her books clutched in hand the journal only grew thicker, and heavier. Till eventually the words she recited caused the animal to spook. Thrashing in the box and causing her to scramble out, screams of rage and fear ringing through the stable.
Before she knew it her parents were at her side, asking her what was wrong yet whatever had caused the damage was gone. Again and again it had happened, each time with her reading. Its taken her two full months to find out that the cause of her horse’s spooking was the conjuration of creatures from her own words.
Her own abilities.

Another idea that she could gain independence she began to work. Conducting experiments to figure out the rights and wrongs of her abilities. Its taken her years to find things out on her own. By the time she was 17 she was a competitor in the Olympics. Finally a chance where she was away from those who thought she needed them. All she needed was her book and her cane. Once walking through the stable halls at night. Checking her companion to make sure their first run in the Olympics would be fine. Yet as she opened the door she found something was wrong.
Her stallion named Beauty in a Shadow, was gone.

Her first thought was to contact the security to find him. Fear gripping her mind she could still remember the sweat that ran down her palms as she gripped her cane. Yet when she clicked it on the stone ground she made up her mind. Her book in hand she ran her finger across the pages. "With eyes made for night, and fire as fierce as a devil's light. He tracked down hunters of his land. And made them swear he could never stand." The sound of light feet pattering next to her she found a smile on her lips when the sound of a ragged fox was found at her side. To her eyes there was blank. Yet to anyone who saw it was a fox with two tails, told in Japanese lore to be the devil in a different skin, with eyes of lit green and a scroll strapped to it's back. "Find Beauty." It was all she said, and it was all she needed to. That night she took matters into her own hands as the fox lead her through the halls. Away from the stable and out to the parking lot to hear the half drugged screams of her stallion.

That night something snapped, she no longer used her abilities to gain a smile, as she called forth a crimson wraith from the tale "a wife in the bog." The gut wrenching shrieks and screams rang true to her ears. the creature she chosen playing on their fear, having them see a different story as it led them away, leaving her stallion.
Yet her story, while seeming to end at a good note. Her stallion back in safety and ready to ride again. The next morning she found herself plastered in headlines, she had been accused of being a variant right before she road into the arena. By the very humans who tried to steal her companion.

She left after that, the heart warming tale of Aurora Lorell that was supposed to end in happiness was forever marred with slander. She left her home that same week, taking her savings and her reputation to find a place that would somehow accept her. It was a man named Damion who became her salvation. He had property for horses and knew nothing of them, or cared for them. She had passion and a wish for a new place to stay.
Fallen from grace, Aurora now runs Beauty ranch. She keeps her head down and work professional, training horses that seem untouchable. Yet even with this new start that she still embraces at age 24, she finds herself still heart broken over the family that she left behind. Wanting nothing more than to be thought of as human again. A wish so great that she refuses to ever show her ability to anyone again.
That is unless she has her mask, some things you just can't give up.

Age: 25
Gender: female
Appearance:

Occupation: Music Artist
Family: John Green (father) Fiona Green (Mother)

Personality: A jokster, a firecracker. Kit is someone who strives to put a smile on her loved one's faces. She'll stand for what she believes in, even if it could destroy her career. Her music taking a divers style that fits her road to life she's been known to be a spokesperson for Variants, even though she's 100% normal. Her contracts ask her time and time again to stop standing by Variants because it hurts her views but the woman is as stubborn as a ocean rock. Though at first she may seem intimidating, she'll be quick to give you a kind word when she sees you deserve it.

Notoriety: none
Class/Level: none
Powers/Abilities: It's rumoured that she is a Variant due to her wide range of music.

Other Skills: Song writer, musician, dancer, okay at drawing.

Equipment: she is almost never seen without some kind of instrument case.

Bio: Kaite was born in a normal family, as a child she was put into Equestrian 4H and made a very interesting friend. A little blind girl by the name of Aurora Lorell. Every competition they every went against each other in though, has caused Aurora to always leave Kaite in the dust. Annoyed, frustrated and even a little jealous, Kaite found herself putting a strain on their friendship, she found that music calmed her down a bit. Yet it was pushed even further when one day as she was walking down the street with her mother, the red head saw a public piano, sitting down at that bench for the first time, having her fingers gracing the keys woke something new in that girl.
With some encouragement from Aurora, Kaite left 4H and went to music full time. Every emotion she ever felt was turned to a song. Every object ever brought into her hand had turned into grand and shocking music. A young musician and song writer she caught the eye of multiple companies and her career launched in a storm while Aurora was riding in the Olympics. No matter how big the two got though, they stayed friends.
Yet the same day Kit Kat released her new album, she found out her best friend was all over the news. Swarming the story of how she was accused of being a Variant. Her best friend since childhood having the ability to cause nightmares, at least that's what a few thugs said. And like that, out of no where, she was gone. Kit was alone and she never saw her her friend since.

That caused a monster to show up. Her songs became stronger, angrier, powerful. She went to rallies, riots, she became a warrior in the music industry. Working with Variants in her songs, her videos, her shows. Defending any story of people being slandered because of the abilities they were born with. It was a bold move, but it caused her to become a feared face in New Haven's entertainment industry.

Damian Sykee

Name: Damian Sykee
Age: 32
sex: male
Notoriety: Perfect
Alias: None
Appearance:
Occupation: Fashion designer
Family: none

Personality:
A cocky ass is the easiest way to describe Damian in his business. He knows he's one of the top in his game, quick to judge, quick to shame and quick to snip. It's fair to say he has an attitude, a sly way of insulting others while still managing to keep ties to those he needs. Still, he's seen as a softy for a few, some even saying he had a heart if you get to know him outside of work.

Bio:
Damian is not one to talk about his passed, always has been tight liped about it. But if you dig enough you'll find out that the guy was in foster care his entire life. He grew up with only haveing left overs, no one wanting him till he was eventually kicked out on his own at age 18. It was the first start on a spiral of bitterness that he clung to.
Life was hard on him, the very few things he learned in his time through foster care was almost useless. Yet he did find a love for something that an old woman had taught him before she died. Rosy is what she asked he call her, and she would spend hours into the night teaching him how to sew. Saying he needed to know how to fix his clothes only to find that he really enjoyed it. There was nothing like being in front of a machine and making something that was his, something that no one could take from him and no one could replicate.

Taking that skill, he hit the streets, making things from fabric he found at good will and selling it online with bs stories. Recycled fabric of varies wedding gowns he would call curtains, hand embroidery he would pass from a patch. When he was 20, he was able to get off the streets, 25, he was already fighting in the fashion industry.
It was at this age that he received news that Rosy died, the woman was so attached to him that she gave him her small stable. Thing was, he was never a horse person so he let the place sit. He was more interested in a business deal that could have tripled his line, problem was the guy found himself working in a line that was controlled by a gang. Using the industry to hide and transport drugs.
Things went from bad to worse, a falling out with the line he took his designs off their trek. Shutting down the drug operations only to be kidnapped and beaten as a form of repayment. He was in a warehouse for 3 days before a variant who heard his insults and pained cried came to lend a helping hand. A small thing of ebony feathers and charcol robes, the very nightmares of men coming to her beckoned call. He was about to offer the vigilant some form of repayment but all she did was shake her head and leave him in a building of battered bodies.

He didn't forget that day, he actually made a clothing line based on the bird girl's costume. Calling it the Raven. And he didn't forget when he turned on the news to see the Olympic Rider, Aurora Lorell riding for her sanity. Not in the arena, but through the streets and away from angry cries as the anchor explained that she was a variant who could control monsters.
Working on a hunch, he decided to go to Rosy's stable. He never even touched the thing after all these years, dust coating every surface, birds in the rafters and webs decorating the darkest corners. It didn't take long for him to find the legendary stallion in one of the aged stalls. He never really been that close to the beasts, yet as he got a closer look. He found the huddled form of a blind girl at the stallion's hooves. With bloodshot eyes and a tear stricken face, Damian could not bring himself to kick her out.

He made a deal with her, he saw that with a little cleaning, the stable can bring in another source of income. Letting the runaway stay in his hay loft, he would bring in clients for her to train under the guise that the work was done by him. She was more than happy to agree, still he had no idea how successful that girl would be. Working magic with the animals he started giving her a share of his profits, actually growing attached to the bino even if he barely comes to the stable.

Shit is about to get real.

Tales of Millennium

"I guess that's the case for everyone." Tilting her head at the mention of music, she tried to figure out just what it was that Manny was trying to do. His hands reaching over to play a even tempo causing Goliath to slowly poke his head up and over the table to see what was going on.
And that's when she started singing.

It was like being wrapped in a heated blanket on a winter's night. A warmth washing over her in waves as she was encased in a feeling of security from the simple yet soothing sound of Sonya. She wondered if her mother was ever one to sing, would she feel the same way? To be comforted by her parent? Yet as moments passed she began to feel something else, a lightness in her chest, an ease in pain as if time itself had turned backwards.
Clouded eyes opening lazily in bewilderment, she turned her attention to the source of the music, not daring to speak until it was over as she sat in utter confusion. She would not have thought this woman was a super, but to have such power was a beautiful thing, one that brought a small, quiet smile to her lips.
"That's amazing" to her party, it was obvious what she was talking about. Placing a hand on her abdomen only to find it absent of pain she took in a deep breath, one she had not been able to in some time. "No wonder why Manny can afford to run into a collapsing building, he has you."

Hey there guys! I'm an addictive role player and found myself with a bit of free time. So I'm on the look out for partners. I reply as fast as I can, usually within the day unless work gets in the way but thats rare. Post length is usually around 2-4 paragraphs depending on what I have to work with, always use PM. And I'm open to pretty much anything. Though I usually play as females, but I do have a few male characters as well, just takes a bit to get used to them again.

No goes:
I can't stand one liners, you post it and I just won't reply. Please put effort into a reply as well. If I give you 6 paragraphs please don't just list down what your doing with no emotion or drive cause I can't come up with something if you don't give anything to work with.

Mary sues, also known as over powered no flaws characters.
Don't leave without telling. If you're done, you're done. Don't be scared to tell me, I won't be offended.

If you don't like something, please tell me. Seriously, I have anxiety and thinking you have a problem with something will keep me up at night.
Other that, I have no problems with players!
