Wow. Love the descriptions Chesire. We've kinda made it out to be an abandoned city almost, but the way you say it...doesn't sound like too bad of a place to live in a Dead infested world. BTW, is Eliza accepted?

Pheromone Manipulation - Eliza has semi-control over her pheromones, a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species, of oneself, and others, including releasing pheromones that induce attraction between subjects (or within a subject for oneself), to exuding pheromones strong enough to induce sleep, change emotions and draw crowds. Her pheromones are usually released from her body as scents or fragrances. Eliza's pheromones may induce a pleasure, or may put subjects into a state of high suggestibility (either of which is useful for limited mind control). Other uses of these pheromones can be used to mark territory (causing people to feel the compulsion to not go into a certain area), or to leave a pheromone path which others can follow. Her pheromones may even increase stamina, give someone a boost of adrenaline, slightly stimulate the healing process or (used offensively) cause foes to become disoriented, violent or extremely sick. When her emotions are unstable and she is feeling a particularly heavy emotion, she may accidentally secrete pheromones that cause those around her to mirror her own feelings. She can however, dissipate her pheromones at will by calming down and gaining control of her emotions. She isn't very fond of taking away someone's free will though, so she only uses her ability if necessary.

:.People Say.:
Eliza is a nature lover and a feminist, who finds solace in mother earth and encourages ideals that favor men and women equality. While she isn't particularly boisterous, she is incredibly emotional indiviual, who isn't shy when it comes to being honest about how she is feeling and will convey her feelings and activist like endeavors as articulately as she can and as passionately as she can. She despises how the earth is and wishes to restore it back to how it was centuries before she was even born. She enjoys the company of others, but doesn't mind being alone, and dislikes when others perpetuate unnecessary drama and conflict. She enjoys the simple life and being one with nature and caring for it and for the animals that reside within it. Eliza is a spiritual individual as well and a passionate deep thinker, who connects with many "entities" for enlightenment and encouragement and enjoys soothing practices that allow her to fully commune with her mind, body, and soul. She enjoys activities such as bird watching, singing, taking care of plants, and doing yoga.
:.The Past Was.:
Eliza, her older brother, and her father lived in a small settlement somewhere near Cape Town, South Africa, having moved there after her mother died of a Dead bite and became one herself. The settlement was made up of 80-100 people, but it was relatively comfy and being near the coast, they were able to cultivate their own aqua-farms and pillage for fish from the abundant water sources. It was also during this time that her ability manifested, although, her father made her keep it secret in fear that her safety would be jeopardized by people wanting to use her for her ability to control others.
In actuality though, her father, desperate and semi-mad, only wanted to keep his daughters ability secret so he could use it for himself. Eliza's father pushed her to her limits, forcing her to subtley manipulate those who he deemed "his enemies".The over-use of her ability was causing her to fall into emotional instability and depression. Her father was in cohorts with a new settlement that had arrived nearby. He was selling her for extended periods of time to them, so they could also have her use her pheromones to manipulate their advaseries, and in exchange, they were giving him luxury goods such as liquor and wine.
On one particular night, Eliza's father, drunk and mindless, began forcing himself onto her. What at first was subtle, quickly escalated into violence. However, before her father could have his way with her, Eliza's overprotective older brother Geoffrey stepped in, his anger pumping up his adrenaline to skyrocketing numbers and during the moment, his own ability manifested, revealing that he was also a metahuman. He balled up his fist and swung forward towards his father's face, but only with the intentions of knocking him off Eliza. Unaware that he was a metahuman, his punch was so powerful that it literally blew out his father's face, instantly killing him.
Scared and frightened by what he had done, he took his sister and went on the run, taking one of the makeshift boats from off the dock and setting sail. It didn't matter where they ended up, they just had to get out of there. Months later, they washed up on the shore of the United States, exhausted and barely alive. Geoffrey had survived on his intense adrenaline and willpower to live, while Eliza survived by using her pheromones to put herself into an almost hibernative sleep like-state. They were found by a man known as Cypher, who brought them to his camp out of pity and since then, they have been loyal and eternally grateful to him. Although, sometimes, even they question his morals and humanity.

True. lets give it another day or two in RP time before the trojan horse thing begins to play out. BTW, I think im gonna create a character for Cypher's camp.
Oh no Exit, its not you or anything, I just mean story wise, alot has happened since the last summary and It needs to be done soon. I think im gonna create my second character to be in Cypher's camp.
Okay I really think its time for another summary. My head is expanding and im losing track of all the new supporting charcaters being introduced and events happening.
Ooooooh some Clo background. Me likey.
Sun's eyes widened and he nearly toppled onto the floor. He had been leaning on the wall, dozing off as he lazily watched Fen cleaning off the Russian man. When he heard Fen yell his eyes yanked open like a bullet. Not only that, but relatively around the same time, Sun could hear Shay going a bit crazy on the other side of the room divider. Fen yelled for Tobias, who seemed to rush in from the hallway and get right to work. Sun walked close slowly, seeing that the man was bleeding heavily, although, he didn't get enough of a look to see what was causing the insane bleeding. Tobias asked him to rush to Shay's side, who at this point, was hallucinating. Intensely. "Understood", Sun said clearly, brushing the divider out of the way and rushing over to Shay's side.
He brushed his delicate fingers against her head gently, trying to soothe her, but it wasn't doing much. She was out of it..."Oh Shay...whatever your seeing...fight it...its not real...", Sun whispered to her softly, affectionately. Sun was wincing at the thought of the blood that was seeping from the Russian man, it so much. Its a shock that they didn't notice it before. He could hear Tobias going to work, using his years of knowledge that he quickly adapted to needing and making quick use of it on the Russian man. Sun's gaze was brought to Isam, who asked him to find a towel. Sun nodded, but didn't want to leave Shay's side. He looked around the room, intently eyeing for anything similar to a blanket. He spotted one, lazily hanged on the edge of the top of the shelf. Sun was definitely too short to reach it. He took a moment and closed his eyes, releasing several of his sprites from his mind as they flew over to the blanket, lifting it off the top shelf and gently levitating it back to him. Sun reached out his hands, gripping it tightly and then watching as his sprites dissipated into thin air.
Sun looked back to Shay's face, affectionately, but worried. He would spread open the blanket, and gently lay it across her body, making sure to tuck the corners in under her sides. He sat back down, but was startled as Tobias himself called in for some assistance. Ravenia rushed in from the hall as well, quickly going through the half of the room Shay was in and brisking through the divider to the other side of the room the Russian was in. She was diligent and quick on her feet, not waiting a second to lend a help. Such a good leader indeed. Sun smiled slightly, and then his gaze fell back to Shay. Maybe I can help her....speak to her... convince her that what she is seeing isn't real.... Sun thought to himself.
He bring his head a bit closer to Shay's and closed his eyes...releasing a continuous stream of ethereal sprites from his mind into hers. Hopefully in the chaotic mess she was going through, she would hear him...recognize his voice....and hopefully...snap out of it. It was worth a shot. Sun made sure as he was trying to maintin the connection between himself and Shay, that he stayed completely focused.
Sun spoke to her telepathically, his mental voice angelic and light, ....Shay....Shay....do you hear me??? It's me Sun.....listen....what you are seeing is not real....don't be afraid....I'm speaking to you telepathically....and.....I'm sorry this is happening to you....but ....whatever you think you are seeing.....it isn't real....Can you hear me sis?......It isn't real....

Metronome said
If the city has blessed ones, whose to say the other group doesn't? >:3
Bingo! We arent the only blessed ones in the world. Im sure other groups and people have blessed ones or are blessed ones themselves.
Btw Metro, I just read your post. I get you were just trying to be a little progressive, but please don't control Sun's actions without my permission. I'd like to be the one to decide how Sun responds to others, even if it is something as simple as getting a blanket. lol Thanks dude.
Shay getting prego would be interesting, but a little too soon. Hahaha I think you having been infected by the Dead and then getting prego with a Blessed One, you'd give birth to a half-breed that is immune to the Dead bite or scratch. Poor Shay though. Those hallucinations though. Smh. lol Girl must be goin through mental hell. hahaha
The Boneyard and Hightops sound REALLY cool. love those ideas. But I think the only people who can fly in our story are Ravenia in her crow form, the Harpies, and Sun via his sprites levitating him. Although, I guess its accessible to everyone in some way or another. Sun levitating others, the Harpies carrying someone, Ravenia phasing others up to the top with her through the shadows.
The Story Progression so far is going great. BTW, Metronome, did you still want to take control of Libby and Copper?
