"That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Nietzsche
Personal Information

Name:Natalia Rianna Lowe

Nickname: Tali

Birth Date: 3/15

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual
In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
If you're looking at Tali above the neck, the first thing you would notice would be two large, bright, emerald green eyes, set on either side of a nose that's decidedly average in size, but just a little turned up at the end. The white runic lines of scars that run rampant over Tali's body haven't left her face untouched, each doing its dance across her nose, over her high cheekbones and even in her eyes, the lines showing up as electric blue lightning bolts in the green. They lead upward into her longer than shoulder length wavy ebony hair and down her neck to the collar of whatever outfit she's wearing, the only facial feature not marked her lips, fuller than average and more often smirking than smiling. Her hair isn't even untainted, small flecks of white in her hair giving it the appearance of a starry night.

Those scars continue their little ballet down her shoulders, spreading out like a plague, especially apparent against her tan skin, granted by time in the sun instead of any intentional means. They carry on through her full figure, over her well-muscled stomach, and all the way to her feet, remaining as nothing more than lines apart from one section in the center of her back between her shoulder blades where the magic focused its efforts. The scars there rise slightly above the skin, becoming a little red and twisted looking.

The other defining lines on her skin are the tattoos she has, all obtained in recent times. The first is a floral script of “Veni, Vidi, Vici” down her left forearm. The second is "Homo, fuge!" written in archaic letters on her right forearm. Spiraling around her right bicep in italicized font is “the Truth shall set you free,” and her final tattoo is the white inked, plain letters of “These are the scars I chose” across her midriff.

Immediately after using her powers on a high level, Tali will go pale and seem to be sick, until she can regain her strength.

Clothing Style: Normally, loose jeans and long sleeved shirts. Anything to cover the scars. She might wear slightly scantier clothes if she's with people she trusts, but under no circumstances does she let anyone see the marks on her back.

Delving Deeper

Cooking.
Painting, though she's not terribly good at it.
Spending time with friends away from supernatural places.

Her mother.
Most magic-her limitation to science based alchemy might be psychological rather than deity enforced.

That her powers will kill her.
That her mother will return and reveal she's not quite done.
Becoming some kind of magical monster.


Habits:
Biting her lower lip/stuttering when she gets nervous.
Flinching before any use of her powers.
Zoning out.


Personality:
♦ Stressed ♦ Awkward ♦ Dependent ♦ Loyal

Tali is extremely reliant on friends and family emotionally and physically, since her lungs prevent her from doing a large amount of aerobic activity or leading a lifestyle where she gets involved in a lot of things. Anyone who sticks by her, however, has found a lifelong friend--she doesn't forget anyone who's nice to her or cares for her. Unfortunately, her pain sometimes leads to lashing out at those she loves, causing awkward situations she doesn't know exactly how to fix... But she's learning. Her scars are generally an off limits topic.

Background:
Tali is an oddity among demigods: she was born entirely without powers, or any other indication of her divine heritage other than a pentagram birthmark immediately between her shoulder blades. To his credit, her father never judged her for it-- if anything, he seemed happy that his daughter would never be cursed with the burden of massive power or having to know that her mother was Hecate, goddess of magic.

All that changed on her thirteenth birthday. Her mother appeared to her, hand outstretched, and magic burst forth from it... Smashing into her, ripping into her body through the birthmark on her back, burning skin, scorching into her hair follicles, blasting her lungs, her eyes, every part of her wracked with the incinerating touch of pure, unadulterated magic.

And when the pain was over, when the thirteen year old could finally move from the floor she'd been writhing on... Her mother was gone, but proof of her appearance was still there, scarred into every inch of Tali's body. While the external scars aren't such a major deal, her lungs have been permanently damaged by the magic's touch. Under normal circumstances, she's able to live a relatively normal life, but any usage of her powers will agitate the scarring, causing her to burst into coughing fits. However, this has made her nearly one with the field of magic that earth exists in, allowing her access to things even other children of Hecate can't perform.

Extra: I like HADES HA!
Godly Information

Godly Parent: Hecate

Relationship With Godly Parent:
Tali hates Hecate with a burning passion that goes to the depths of her soul. She views her scars and medical conditions as her mother's fault, and will not deal with her at all unless forced to.

Godly Abilities:
Unless noted otherwise, any power usage causes the scars lining Tali's body to glow, and will likely cause her to feel sick upon powering down.
Interference Wave: Most of Tali's abilities pertain to the field of physical law suspension that allows demigods their supernatural abilities. In other words, she can mess with the magic that lets demigods be superhumanly strong, influence the behavior of others, and the like, to the extent that she can nearly entirely cut it off in a small local zone around her. She's working on doing the inverse, allowing her to increase the abilities of her friends, but she hasn't mastered it yet.
Field Awareness: One of her few always active and not painful powers, Tali's mastery of supernatural fields allows her to sense when a nearby demigod is using their powers. Higher levels of training will allow her to detect the god that the powers pertain to, but for now she can only sense usage.
Supernatural Exemption: Tali's scars act like a Faraday cage for any incoming magic and supernatural powers, deflecting the charges away into the ether and making the attack act as if it was a normal action. A bullet will still kill her, but a killing spell will be directed away.
Science, Not Magic: Tali's native magic is entirely limited to chemical reactions that would normally occur. She's an insanely good cook and chemist because she can regulate ongoing reactions, but she can't do anything fancy like summoning gold.


Sorry about the resolution on the picture, I have it massively high to let me photoshop the thing. I did downgrade it some though so it wouldn't blast the page.

The plan basically was to have everyone make a set of trading cards for their characters. I was thinking like 5 or so for your character and I would judge based on how well you represented the character and their moves and what not. 

I had this site ready to share and was going to walk you through the basics in the first post. That said if people had other games they would rather do it in(Magic, Pokemon, etc) I was also open to broadening the contest up for those. Yugioh is just the one I know best. Obviously things like having a picture wouldn't be required for the character one since I know quite a few of you lack one.@Onarax

holy crap it's Guy

so I'm not the only one who played Tales of the Abyss/watched the Anime
