Corinthe Malakos
"And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." -
Friedrich Nietzsche
Name:Corinthe Malakos
Nickname:Cori
Birth Date:december 21, 1997
Age:18
Gender:female
Sexuality:straight
In Depth Appearance:Corinthe is slender and of average height. Delicate is the word to describe her pysique. Her slightly curly black hair flows down to her waist and contrasts with her ghostly white skin. From her silky face, pierce two blue-green eyes, right into your soul. She comes of as somewhat passive and radiates a softness that is only recognized as just the outher layer, when you look into her eyes. Though softspoken, she strides with authority. In her emphatic smile, behind her full lips, hides a hint of misschief.
Clothing Style:A few thin strands of her hair are ornated with iron and golden beads. In her clothes, she prefers natural colors. green, brown, black. and shades of white. On both her wrists, iron bracelets embellished with a pattern of golden veins. Leather boots of black and brown on her feet. slightly feminine, but not the ones with high heels or anything fancy. They'd do fine in a hike.

Corinthe can be a bit distant. Her eyes seem to see something that others can't. but when you earn her trust she will let you into her world. She stands on herself and doesn't seem to need anyone. Though she longs for a touch that she can trust. In lack thereoff, she copes by being there for others -a form of contact where she doesn't need to open herself- and the occasional flirt. She observes a lot, people mainly -though the occasional phenomenon might catch her attention as well- and has her own thoughts about them. Judging? no. emphatic mostly.
Background:Only raised by her mother, Corinthe lead a fairly simple life growing up. Her mother had told her she had danced with death. That she had looked him straight into his eyes and kissed him. Corinthe had never taken her stories very seriously. Her father wasn't dead her mother told her. Her father wás Death. quite the delusional coping mechanism according to Corinthe. But the day came that her mother died. That day she met a man that looked a bit like herself. pale skin, black hair. sunken eyes. 'welcome home' he murmured to her mother's corpse. He hugged Corinthe and told her that she didn't need to worry, because he would take care of her mother. And of her. 'precious metals originate from the underworld', he explained her. 'just reach for them'. At the time, she assumed this was another lunatic. But when days passed and she became more and more desperate as how to continue her life without anybody to take care for her, she reached the point where she would try anything. sceptical she delved into the earth. to her surprise she felt something other than sand. It were little clumps of gold. From then on she traveled around without a clear goal. But she was free and the earth provided for her -in a nontraditional way- whenevery she asked for it. Ultimately she started hearing voices and seeing signs that led her to Olympus Academy.
Extra: favorite god is Zeus, though there are many pretty cool gods.
Godly Parent:Hades
Relationship With Godly Parent:They spoke only once, but she has the feeling that he is caring for her.
Godly Abilities:Daddy will pay for me: As often forgotten, one of hades' domains is wealth. As gold and gems come from deep under the earth. a.k.a. the underworld. Corinthe has the ability to conjure small amounts of metals and gems from the earth by reaching into the earth, looking under a rock or reaching into a crack. She is gaining more and more control over the amount, type, shape and form of what she conjures. But so far she has practiced only one usage of this, which is coins. She can conjure any kind of currency as long as it's made of metal and she has seen it before or she knows what it looks like. She never runs out of money.
[over time, she will extend this power to metalbending, avatar-style]
I see dead people: Corinthe can see and speak to souls of deceased people. Well, it's not really up to her. It happens sometimes. Either that, or she is definitely going crazy.
Look into your soul: She even sees the souls of people who are still alive. She knows your desires and your fears. But mostly the way she looks when she does that, creeps people out.
