Death's Gifts

@IrisityAaaaa, I did it.

Betsy

Betsy Powell

|Name|

Elizabeth "Betsy" Powell

|Age|

21

|Gender|

F

|Sexuality|

Gay

|Piercings, Tattoos, Scars|

Triple pierciings, one on the upper cartilage, both ears
"The Moxy Boob" band logo on her left wrist, a horizontal scar on her right one.

|Personality|

Betsy is the charismatic front woman of an underground punk band called "The Moxy Boob". A woman oozing with unwavering confidence and energy on stage, on a regular day Betsy is a shy and quiet individual. She can be emotionally volatile but at most she's nice company to be with, who has a fondness for sarcastic banters that one will surely need some luck getting a serious notion out of her. Though slow to trust at first she values companionship and would even go as far as conforming to their bad ideals. Pretty much all her life her strict family disowns her for being one with the 'satanists', as they would quaintly put it. Betsy never had a lot of friends but the few that she has is far from her parent's claims, it is with her chosen companions that she's at her element the most, the only people that could ever keep her grounded and nothing in this world would make her think otherwise.

|Why your character was in Renata|

Her band was on tour in Renata, at a local club.

|The Circumstances of the Death|

At the night of the band's performance, the band organizer threw a post party event that same night. The place was a pure riot zone, booze and drugs were the regular thing in such gatherings. That time Betsy was having a heated argument with Eric, the band's bassist, her bestfriend and her former "ex" all at the same time. That time Betsy was thinking of disbanding which Eric didnt take lightly, among other personal things to which the pair hadn't exactly sorted out.

At the same time she was dealing with her brother's death, Matt, the only person in her family who she loves was a soldier who died while stationed in Syria the night before. She was an emotional mess because of it and to top it off with the argument she had with Eric, getting really high and drinking herself to numbness alone in the club's bathroom was the only way she knew how to make the misery stop, taking in more than her own body can handle. That night she was found dead in the bathroom cubicle, caused by alcohol poisoning.

|Power|

Empathy, the ability to emotionally control somebody's feelings. She can channel it when looking deeply into the person's own eyes or through music when dealing with a mass target. It is most effective when she is emotionally driven herself.

|Biography|

Betsy grew up in a strict household from Nebraska. She spent most of her childhood in a farm ranch and sang on the church choir. She lived together with her parents and older brother, Matthew. Her parents specially her father was considered very controlling of his own children, to the point that his way of disciplining them would reach to extremes. When Betsy's parents found out that she was having a relationship with a girl, they were furious. Her family openly disdains (to put it lightly) of such values. Not taking any of their bullshit beliefs anymore, she ran away from home. She cooped up with a group of musicians and after spending some time with them in gigs, they conceived "The Moxy Boob".

|Other|

What else should we know?

Terpsichore

Terpsichore, Mother of Sirens

|Name|

Teri

|Age|

Like really old

|Gender|

F

|Domain|

Terpsichore is the goddess of dance and music, and the mother of sirens. In mythology she is usually depicted with a lyre, but in this new world she mostly prefers the tambourine.

|Personality|

Terpsichore prefers to be called Teri, since other than being a mouthful, it makes her sound like a bad heavy metal album hence she lowkey hates her own name. She is carefree, optimistic and just radiates fun and life that it's almost contagious. Which it is, since her music purposefully feeds people with positive emotions. Though she happily helps mortals in the only way she can, Teri is oblivious to basic human emotions such as sadness, anger or to some degree, love.

|Other|

Sports the boho look, never seen without her top hat.

@ArticBeaver

Very creative! Go ahead and move Betsy into characters

Death's Gifts

@Inertia Wanna flesh it out in pms?

Death's Gifts

@Irisity So the Renata strangler strikes again...I sense a mystery is afoot!

@Tancuras

I didnt think it would be much of a thing but if it shapes to be that way, i wouldn't mind . I think it would be an interesting element, a human conflict on a supernatural story

Death's Gifts

@Inertia also...maybe Shaun accidentally stumbled upon to the crime scene of Joel's death? ;) both murdered by the same person, maybe they have a stronger connection than others because they were killed by the same person. You up for that idea?

Death's Gifts

John

John McAllister

|Name|

Full name: John David McAllister
Nickname: JD or David though he answers to pretty much anything

|Age|

27

|Gender|

Male

|Sexuality|

Pansexual (it’s the person not the gender that matters)

|Piercings, Tattoos, Scars|

Tattoo on his left forearm of the kanji symbol for “Duty.” Also has a tattoo arm band on his left bicep of the words “Just Keep Breathing.” From his death he has a long white scar across his back.

|Personality|

Before his death John was a very affable man. Generous to a fault and always trying to help people, he would literally give the shirt off his back to a complete stranger for no other reason than they needed it. After his death though, he has little patience and has a quick temper. His old self and his “reborn” self as he likes to think of it are at constant war of which side of his personality will win out.

|Why your character was in Renata|

John was a beloved history teacher at Renata’s high school. He was very involved in the community and with his family, having only ever left Renata to go to college.

|The Circumstances of the Death|

John was chaperoning a school dance being held in an old building in part of Renata’s historic district. The building wasn’t up to code and the decorations, all flashy and needing a lot of outlets, caused the wiring in the building to catch fire. He got as many students out as he could as the building quickly went up in flames. Searching for any stragglers he found a student hiding that hated him and the feeling was mutual. John urged him to get out and when the boy refused a beam from the ceiling fell. Without hesitation John shoved the boy out of the way, the beam falling across his back, pinning him to the ground. He pleaded with the boy to get help and even though he ran outside to the waiting firemen he didn’t let anyone know where John was or that he was even still inside. Dying from smoke inhalation death found John and gave him a second chance. John emerged from the building, everyone amazed that he had managed to get himself untrapped from the beam, something they chalked up to adrenaline.

|Power|

John can manipulate fire, the angrier he is the more intense the flames are but the less control he has.

|Biography|

John is the oldest of five siblings, he has four younger sisters, some of whom still attend the high school he teaches at. He’s always enjoyed History and was very excited to accept a job teaching at his alma mater. He grew up in Renata and can’t imagine living anywhere else.

|Other|

Aside from history John also loves music but doesn’t like to share his talent with others, being his own worst critic.

Apollo

Apollo

|Name|

Apollo, known in the mortal realm simply as “Jack”

|Age|

Super old but don’t mention it. Seriously, it will only make him mad.

|Gender|

Male

|Domain|

God of archery, music, poetry, prophecy, medicine, and god of the sun. Like John he has a hot temper, pun intended. Unlike John, he is rarely able to get his temper under control.

|Personality|

Apollo doesn’t much care for anything beyond his carnal pleasures and his music. He’s quick to get into a fight and usually comes out on top, having a natural sense for which fights are in his favor.

|Other|

While the sun is under his domain he does not share John’s affinity with flames. He admires John’s natural talent with music but is secretly afraid that if the two were compared that John would come out on top.

@Steele

You're good too! Move john on into characters

Death's Gifts

@Irisity Tell me if there's something wrong!

Shaun

Shaun Defron

|Name|

Full name/Nicknames

|Age|

15+, but I'm willing to consider children if you have a good enough reason

|Gender|

M

|Sexuality|

Demisexual

|Piercings, Tattoos, Scars|

A piercing on his left ear

|Personality|

Shaun suffers from 'resting bitch face', and coupled with his shy and awkward disposition he was mostly left alone, seeming unapproachable. He was surprisingly sharp, and intuitive, easily masking his emotions due to prior experiences. After his 'death', he was made more suspicious and untrusting, using his own bias to judge people, not easily changing his mind once it was made up. He also has a slight case of shell shock due to his incident.

After his death he has an extreme discomfort to wearing anything tight around his neck (like ties or bows), leaving them loose and hanging, never tight.

|Why your character was in Renata|

Shaun was out travelling but somehow ended up lost, with his car running out of gas in an unknown area (Renata).

|The Circumstances of the Death|

He got out of his car and began exploring around, looking for a gas station or any nearby houses to ask for some assistance/help. Due to uncharted land, and his lack of knowledge he somehow ended up finding a shadowy figure burying a large bag. Shaun was shocked and stumbled out on a fallen branch and made noise, alerting the figure. After a long scuffle he would rather not recall he was asphyxiated with a plastic bag. All he said was at that moment was that he was extremely desperate for one last gasp of breath.

|Power|

Shaun becomes embodied by ancient winds, although seeming more viscous and malignant with it producing a distinct whistling/howling, almost deafening as if it was shrieking. It's almost as if the wind were alive. Sometimes the wind becomes difficult to control and placate, so he has to forcefully stop his powers. His powers are like an untamed beast, so much so that his own winds cut him at times.

|Biography|

Shaun was an only son in the Defron family- his parents usually keeping him an arms length away and drowned themselves in their work. Through this he learned how to be self-sufficient and did all the house work, chores, food, etc by himself. Even in his own studies he had no help at home, only being done by himself- his parents making him unintentionally responsible in that regard.

After graduating he had decided to take a short vacation for himself, with his money that he had saved and some his distant parents granted him. Someone ending with him getting lost in Renata.

Zephyr

Zephyr, Goddess of the West Winds

|Name|

Zephyrus, Zephyr, Anemoi, Favonius

|Age|

Zephyr stopped counting after centuries

|Gender|

F

|Domain|

Zephyr's reach extends to the winds, going as far back to ancient winds. Her control of the winds is excellent, almost seeming as if the rough, malevolent winds were her plaything.

|Personality|

Zephyr was mostly benevolent throughout her 'earlier' years, granting safe passage and luck during harsher times of early humanity. Although now she had grown uncaring (mainly due to the curse of immortality making her indifferent), with her expression not shifting in the slightest even when informed of the new 'demigods'. She cared little for them, though still having that slight tinge curiosity, as did the other gods, infact being slightly amused by the antics of Death. Her immortality even made her enjoy the mantra of 'Who wants to live forever'? Even if she does fulfill her duties, she wouldn't mind being overthrown.

|Other|

Zephyr has affiliations with other 'wind' gods.

@Inertia

Looks good! Just remember to put his age and full name, then you can transfer Shaun into characters and I'll put Zephyr in the gods tab

Death's Gifts

I'd like to join in. Look's promising :)

@ArticBeaver

Awesome! Can't wait for your cs
