Name: Ghost

Gender: Male

Age:???


Appearance: Long tawny brown hair. Tall standing around 6’3’’ with a thin stature. Eyes that have never been seen. He always wears long sleeves and a glove on his right hand. Over his eyes he always has a cloth.

Personality: Ghost almost always wears a smile on his face. Whether this smile is real or not has never been discernable. This does not mean he does not show other emotions. However mostly they are just humor, or anger. What pushes his anger button is unknown, but when he is angry, it is very clear. This is of course assuming that he isn’t faking it as a joke. As for doing things, he goes by how bored he is or what seems like fun. Anything he does do is purely selfish. He rarely even seems to care for anyone, but then again he doesn’t exactly let others get close to him.

Backstory
clip_image001.png
: Not much is known about his history as it is basically a mystery. The only thing he truly tells people is that he comes from a city that was used for testing weapons, and thus the city has no laws, and its inhabitants have been changed in strange ways due to it.

Trigger: A whip that can have its thickness and length changed at will. This means that depending on how thin or long it is decides how much damage, in addition to the strength of the user. In addition, it has a special spike feature, and a paralysis feature. The spike feature is barbs that can come out of the whip, making it good for hanging onto things, or chopping at one’s flesh. The paralysis is a choice to send a paralyzing jolt through the whip. The max length is 23 ft. And lastly whatever it touches sends a kind of single to the handle, letting the user know what kind of object it made contact with. However, a user must know how to differentiate what is what to be able to truly use these singles.

Talents: Amazing hearing, far beyond any normal human, or even humans with good hearing. He also seems to have a sixth sense for his surroundings. He can basically feel his surroundings, and thus knows what’s around usually long before someone else does. He’s agile.

Other: He is blind.



Name: Lynix

Gender: Female

Age: 25


Appearance: Long brown hair and lazy grey eyes covered by black wire-frame glasses. Lynix is average height and build, surprisingly considering her choice in clothing is covered up. She prefers wearing things like pajamas, and having a blanket over her.


Personality: Will come out in the RP

Backstory: Not much is known of her history. For as long as she can remember, she’s lived with Ghost. He raised and nurtured her. Thus she grew up under his tutelage, doing his bidding, and being the only one to know anything of him. Not that she’ll say.


Skill: PSI

Abilities: Technopathy. Like the name, she can freely manipulate electronics, though this goes a step further that she can actually go inside some electronic items as a kind of program, and possibly take others with her. However, she must know enough about the electronic item to truly be able to manipulate it.


Talents: Luckily for her, technology. She is very good with technology, and creating items and what not. She understands how most of them work and concepts behind things.

Other: She sucks at hand to hand...or really anything that requires being active.

Edit:

Name: Corvina Vinenum

Gender: Female

Age: Unknown, seems about 20

Appearance: Corvina is 5'6 with green eyes, her white hair reaches down a little past her shoulders. She generally dresses in gothic-style clothing, her favored outfit is a dress similar to this, with white bows. She carries around purple sandals which she wears around people or when walking on potentially hazardous terrain, but when possible she prefers to go barefoot, for some reason. Her most notable physical feature is the pair of crow wings she possesses on her back, with about an eight foot wingspan. Her feathers are very hard, and she can very easily slice people with her wings or block attacks, though they are far from impenetrable.

Personality: Despite appearing fairly upbeat at times, she is actually a rather depressed person and is prone to crying. She can quickly move from complimenting somebody to making very out of line jokes or insults at their expense, leaving others confused and annoyed with her. She appears to have little to no understanding of the effects her insults have on people, appearing confused when she is confronted for them. She can be rather aggressive when angered, and shows a sadistic side as well, taking delight when she maims somebody. That said, she is capable of self control in such situations.

Backstory:

As a mysterious winged pre-teen/early teen rescued by the SCB from a mysterious cult, it was quickly apparent that she had what became known as "cursed blood". Rather than blue, her veins appear black if viewed through her skin. Her wings were coated with this strange fluid, and merely touching them could induce the victim with sickness. High exposure to the substance caused the victims to develop the same black veins, along with blackened skin on various parts of the body. They would also begin acting oddly. At this point, the victim would usually die shortly, with very few managed to be cured of the condition. Interestingly, Corvina would behave peculiarly whenever somebody was infected, regardless of whether they were even in the same room or not.

According to her, the cult kept her locked up most of the time and would only bring her out for various rituals, many of which she described as painful. She generally kept to herself at the hospital she was kept in, though she befriended a male patient about her age who was staying across the hall. After about two years, she realized that she was in love with this boy, but before she could summon the courage to ask him out, he vanished from the hospital. Armed only with the knowledge of his first name -- Darion --and a few other facts, she broke out of the hospital and vowed to locate him.

Among these facts was the name of his home town, Desererea. She managed to travel there, and found that it was a small rural town located next to a dense forest. To her dismay, she could not locate Darion even after weeks of searching -- it didn't help that many of the townsfolk refused to talk to her thanks to her intimidating wings. Eventually she resorted to a more aggressive approach, kidnapping various townsfolk and pressing them for information. This eventually got her run out of the town, and she retreated to the nearby forest, fittingly called Desererea Woods.

It was in Blood Woods that she discovered something very interesting about her abilities; although most humans and similar organisms died as a result of being infected by her wings, the trees...didn't. Their leaves turned black, their trunks became dark, but they stayed alive. This wasn't the only peculiarity she noticed, she realized that she could control what the trees did, to some degree, as well as absorb energy from them. Her fluid pushing the chlorophyll out resulted in the trees being unable to photosynthesize, but this was a non issue as they gained the ability to do other...things.

She took over an abandon mansion deep in the woods and stayed there for a few years, gradually taking over the entire forest. The townsfolk took notice and deemed it haunted, many of them fleeing the area. Other organisms proved unable to handle the toxins that pumped through the trees, and the soil became infertile for any other plants. This resulted in most of the ecosystem disappearing as well, though some creatures proved able to resist the toxin, or adapted to it.

She got bored and lonely after a while, so returned to the SCB to offer her services. This was partly due to the fact that as Darian had previously stayed there, and she thought she might be able to gather a lead on him. She frequently returns to her mansion in Desererea Woods, though.


Skill: Magic (I don't know really? I feel like it fits all of those to some degree...)

Abilities:

As stated, she has the ability to infect other organisms, in particular trees. She forms something of a hive mind with whatever she assimilates. This is largely the reason for her usual lack of interest in even experimenting with assimilating most other organisms, as forming this pseudo-hivemind with other animals causes her significant mental stress. As implicated, she does not have full control over other organisms in the system, but she is capable of sapping energy from them.

In order to assimilate a tree, she has to dig her wings into it for around two to five minutes, it doesn't happen instantaneously and it costs a great deal of her energy. The trees she assimilates form their own underground network of roots, where they can transfer energy and information, even with trees that are not yet assimilated. They can assimilate one another, but this can take a somewhat long time -- a tree twenty feet away from an infected tree will probably not be infected itself until around three to six days. The information gathering ability can serve as somewhat of a surveillance system, especially in trees that have been infected for a long time. For instance, many of the trees in Desererea Woods have disturbingly developed rudimentary eyes. Infected trees have increased defense and can perform basic dark magic attacks if threatened.

By herself, her abilities are very limited. She can defend herself with her scale-strength wings, and also flap down feathers towards opponents, which explode in a burst of dark magic and can cause minor sickness. Aside from obviously just slashing at people with said feathers, this is the extent of her abilities on her own. Actually hitting people with aforementioned explosions can be rather difficult, and her agility and ability to take hits are average to low.

However, when in close proximity to one of her tree networks, she gains other abilities. What all of these are remain to be seen, though she is capable of making the ground underneath opponents erupt with dark magic. Obviously the size of the network and her exact distance play a part in this.

Talents: Generally intelligent, though sometimes hard to tell due to her behavior.

Edit 2: Updated slightly. You might want to reread the ability section if you haven't since I posted this, as I added some clarification there. I didn't change her backstory apart from editing out the placeholder location name.
