Piercing Light — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Kanoa Marigold Gender: Female Age: 18 Personality: Kanoa is a bit of an oddity to most people. At first glance she seems to have a captivating charisma about her, or at the very least an unusual allure. She often appears to be daydreaming, or looking off towards something that one could swear is just a potted plant. Actually speaking to her, it quickly becomes apparent that she might just simply be eccentric. While she is intelligent and not the least bit naive, she has no regard for social norms and common behavior, often doing things however she pleases. She acts almost as if she is an alien, raised on another world with much different cultural practices. Much of her odd behavior stems from what her doctor considers "The most extreme case of synesthesia he's ever seen." Simply put, Kanoa's perception of things is not the same as others. Hearing a sound makes her see a color, seeing certain shapes and numbers places notions in her head that logically shouldn't be there. These sensations are the tip of the iceberg, as she seems to experience the world as a whole in a different way. Kanoa has an awfully frank and carefree attitude, she is not afraid to speak her mind and express herself, no matter the consequences. She remains unperturbed by most things, and has a general disdain for arguments and conflict. She is more than willing to let most things go, and allow people to keep their opinion to themselves. However, Kanoa has a curious mind, and often likes to engage people intellectually. She will bring up topics pertinent and seemingly pointless alike, anything to have a conversation that keeps her interested. She believes herself to be a fairly down to earth person, yet she often has trouble with her sense of self. Questions of existentialism arise in her mind, and as she cannot easily relate to the reality others see, it is an ever uphill battle for her to try and understand herself and how she fits into the world. In spite of her tendency to prefer things be copacetic and the lazy smile that is almost always on her face, like any person there are clear issues that either irritate her or force her to action. She likes to solve things with a pragmatic mindset, so for someone to either be blinded by passion or selfishness is akin to a sin to her. Appearance: Kanoa stands at a height of five feet ten inches tall. She has light golden brown hair that falls down to the middle of her back in wild waves. She has striking violet eyes that showcase her nonchalant personality by almost always being lowered in a relaxed manner. She has a tan skin tone resembling coffee with a heavy amount of cream added to it, she has barely noticeable freckles on her face that she tends to become flustered over when mentioned. She has a fit body, though it would be a stretch to say she is toned. Due to a healthy diet and occasional exercise she has a reasonable level of stamina and strength. She has long legs, and a slightly above average bust. As for clothing, she has a bit of an odd taste. She loves to wear school uniforms, even though not a single school within miles has such a dress code. She has an assortment of styles from fictional to replicas of real school's uniforms. When asked why she chooses to wear them, she says they simply "Have a nice vibe." Tether: Kanoa was born into a family of spiritually sensitive Naturals that have origins in ancient Japan, though her mother is Hawaiian. The traditions of the family were hardly carried on, but much of it's knowledge was. Ability: Qualia - Officially, Kanoa has "some form of synesthesia," but what she really has is a never before seen condition in her family. Her perception of reality is in fact twisted, but not in a way that science could easily explain. For Kanoa, the things that she sees are her own concrete reality, regardless of however someone else may see it. For the most part, this has no noticeable impact on the world as others see it, however, there are rare cases where Kanoa can alter the default world simply by interacting with something or someone that is different to her. Talents: Kanoa enjoys painting, though anything she creates is considered highly abstract to anyone that looks at it, the same goes for her music.... and somehow her poems as well. Kanoa possess a vast encyclopedia like knowledge of the supernatural thanks to her family lineage. Her mother passed down family secrets, as well as various texts that she painstakingly memorized. Along with knowledge of the supernatural, Kanoa knows many rituals and spells, that while often time consuming to preform can help in a great many situations. Recent history: Kanoa has recently started a 'club of the occult' at Oakenheim High, stating to staff that it is just an innocent club for fans of the supernatural. This is a front however, as Kanoa has decided to use the school as a grounds to gather recruits. She is able to see those that possess a Tether, and she intends to gain their aid in helping her home become a safe place once more.

Hiiii~~!!^-^!! Looks Urshums!! But, k so like questions: So like do our charries know about the tether and what it is? Like I gets we will type it into our charrie sheet, but just checking to see how much our charries know about supernatural ways. Can you hurt someone else's tether or steal it? Oh and can you speak to the tethering spirit? K so just to clarify Ability Talents: If you have one kind of Ability, you have three types of Talents under that Ability, right? And soooooo then like later on can we teach each other our Abilities or Talents? Like I know ya dun wants super powered heroic types, but I think that it would make for some fun charrie development later on. Like not video game pick yer new skills level up thing, but something we teach each other over time? Thanks ya :]

Tether is simply a term for whatever it is that allows someone to perceive the supernatural, it 'ties' them to it. Your character knowing this specific term will depend on who they know. If they were born into a family that is aware of the supernatural, then they would likely know it, if your character was say... possessed by a spirit at some point or something, then they may not know the term, but they would still have a tether. As for a tether being hurt or stolen, that would only happen if say, their tether was actually a physical item, or a spirit that isn't permanently connected to them, or did not possess enough spiritual energy to leave a lasting impression on them. As for abilities and talents, an ability isn't necessarily tied to the talents. An example of an ability is Psychometry, the ability to basically read the memories of an object. a talent would be something like lockpicking. So abilities aren't inherently something you can teach someone, but talents might be.
