Emilee Susanna Gregan "no regrets"`I WOKE UP AND WISHED
THAT I WAS DEAD,»basics
fullname || Emilee Susanna Gregan
nicknames || Em, Me-me, Leah
age || 17
gender || Female
orientation || Straight
category || Shifter
occupation || This changes a lot, but at the moment, at the supermarket.
power || Emilee can only change the appearance of things, she doesn't change the physical form of it (eg a rock 'changed' to look like a leaf will still feel/taste etc like a rock).
When she 'changes' things, it lasts for about three to five hours, depending on what it is and how much of it she is altering. Smaller/inanimate objects are easier to ‘change’, the larger it is or the more it moves around, the more she has to concentrate, and the lasting effect will be shorter. Usually after the use of whatever it is that she has ‘changed’ she will remove the illusion, because it uses less energy then letting it just eventually fade away. The more things she tries to ‘change’ the shakier the illusion will be, eventually until all of the illusions will just collapse. The most things she has tried is 15, although they were all relatively small and all inanimate objects. Following this experiment, her ability was severely weakened for a few days, which is also the reason that she chooses to remove the illusion as soon as possible, she wants to always remain in top form in case of an emergency.
`THE WHOLE WORLD IS MOVING
AND I'M STANDING STILL,
»appearance
face claim || Fransisca Eva Lina
height/weight || 5’4” / 105 ibs
distinguishing features || A small tattoo on her left shoulder blade of a fairy.
brief description || Emilee has an average body, she isn’t particularly skinny, or muscular, or small, or tall, she’s a combination of them all. She keeps her body on the slender side from swimming, but under her tanned skin there is definitely muscle, if you look. Depending on how she’s feeling and what she’s wearing, somehow she can manages to look two different looks, tall and lithe or smaller, rounder and curvier, in one day.
Nothing really about her particularly stands out, except perhaps the length of her hair. She has long, dark brown hair down to almost her waist which she usually wears naturally straight and down.
Her eyes are dark brown, framed by almost black lashes, and many people have said they are her best feature although she herself fails to see why. Her hands and feet and quite small and delicate looking, but she can pack in a good punch if you get her pissed.
When she smiles, a dimple appears on her right cheek and everything about her somehow just lightens up and makes people smile. Her moods are usually reflected very obviously by her facial expressions so it’s easy to tell how she’s feeling.
Her teeth are pretty much straight for the most part, except for one of her top canines, which is rather endearingly a little bit crooked.
There is a small tattoo of a blue/green fairy on her left shoulder, which she somehow got after an episode of getting drunk, but it suits her and she doesn’t quite have the heart to get rid of it.
Her wardrobe consists of a large variety of clothes, she doesn’t particularly favour any ‘style’, as long as it looks good on her.
`AND EVERYTHING I SAID I'D DO
MAKE THE WORLD BRAND NEW
AND TAKE THE TIME FOR YOU,
»personality
likes || peace&quiet, music, standing in the rain, pretty things, people who listen, sweets of any kind, swimming, autumn days, snow, sleeping
dislikes || unnecessary loud noises (music doesn’t count), people asking things more then once, summer, people who interrupt, strawberries, insects, empty space, loud people, public speaking
strengths || nothing much. Emilee is an all rounder who is average at everything and excellent at nothing.
weaknesses ||
nice people >> Emilee just can’t resist charmers as they make her feel so wanted, although this has led to her being used more then once.
conflicts >> at the sight of a conflict she’ll always be trying to help or make the people work it out, she can’t stand fights and avoids whenever possible, even if it means running away
taking sides >> she can’t take sides, being able to argue the good points of most things, usually this ends up with her having two people who hates her, rather then two people who like her
heat >> generally under the heat Em doesn’t perform as well in anything, including her powers. It just seems to drain her, on particularly hot days she prefers to stay inside – usually staying all day or several days at a time.
aspirations || nothing much, just to be happy.
secrets || Kissed a girl at a club, but only cause she was drunk.
fears || being unwanted, being thought of as a nuisance, dying painfully, pain in general, being alone
quirks/habits || Em often plays with the ends of her hair, there’s no particular reason (anxiety etc) for this, it just happens, and it happens a lot.
overall || Emilee’s personality is warm and caring, on the whole. Although she may seem distant or shy some times, those are usually the times when she’s paying a lot of attention. Her moods come and go quite fast, she can be laughing and having a good time one second, and then all of a sudden something will come into her mind and she might turn more quiet and solemn. Her crazy ‘mood swings’ can be hard to keep up with sometimes, and this confuses a lot of people as to whether she is ‘happy about something’, or ‘pissed off about something’, however once you get to know her a pattern starts to emerge.
She is very rarely angry with people, usually more annoyed or disappointed, however even that passes in a few hours at the most. A forgiving person, no matter what you’ve done you can be sure that Emilee will forgive you, although forgetting is quite a different matter. Her memory means that she can forget what she was about to say, but then remember something in startling clarity from years ago. There’s no telling what she’ll remember, or what she won’t, but even if it’s something really horrible about you that she remembers it won’t get in they way of what she thinks of you now.
When she’s on her own, peace and quiet is what she craves, but out with people, she turns into a more lively and very energetic person. Usually this happens because she’s trying to get everyone to have more fun and to loosen up, and a lot of the time this brings her to the centre of attention, although she doesn’t notice it so it doesn’t go to her head.
Loyal and always there for you if you need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to rant to, Emilee will always be there to help – even if it means she has to stop whatever she’s doing at the time. You’ll find a true friend in her, but her friendship isn’t that easy to gain. Sure, she’ll be friendly and laugh with you and have no problems with you, but getting her to trust you is the clincher.
`I JUST GOT LOST AND
SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH THE DAWN,
»history
mother || unknown
father || unknown
siblings || unknown
other family || unknown
backstory || Emilee was abandoned at an orphanage when she was around one year old and she doesn’t know anything about her family members. However, she is quite happy with this, and doesn’t really care that she doesn’t know them. She realises there isn’t much point in finding them now, and cares little for them or for the fact that they left her.
Her life at the orphanage was average, there were ups and downs, but mostly it was ok. It wasn’t the horror story that some kids had, which she has always been thankful for.
Education wasn’t a problem for her, but no way did she ever push herself. To her, school was just something to pass time – to collect knowledge and skills for later.
Emilee always had a small group of friends whom she was very close with, she didn’t particularly like having hordes of friends, as it was stressful on her at times.
She wavered between periods of being the goody-good and he rebel but neither was too extreme. Getting drunk and going out clubbing wasn’t that strange, neither was staying in and reading a good book with a cup of milk tea.
She can’t really remember how she found out about her abilities, but as far as she can remember she’s just known. Because her power isn’t very obvious, it wasn’t something that she got grief over, but after seeing someone else with a power being bullied every day, she learned to keep it hidden.
Now, Em doesn’t really have a goal, she isn’t like some of the other orphans who strive to make money after such a poor childhood, all she wants is to be happy. To be truly content with what she has, so she’s had a variety of different jobs and done a variety of different things but she’s pretty much content with her life as it is.
`I THOUGHT OF YOU AND WHERE YOU'D GONE
AND THE WORLD SPINS MADLY ON...,
»ooc
name/alias || Em is fine, or anything else, as long as I know that you’re referring to me (:
age || 16
experience || Gosh. On and off for about.. 5 years now.
who's the fairest of them all? || (admin edit)
anything else? || After I get back into a swing of things, I can take up a male character if needed, but for a while I think I’ll only be able to handle this one char x-o
roleplay sample || (unfortunately, this is my comeback to RPing after about 8 months.. I’ll have to make something up)
The rain was pelting down in hard bullets and splashed and splattered everywhere, and there was hardly anyone on the streets. Although it was a rainy night, it was still humid, and it was for this reason that Emilee stood on the outskirts of a park with her head tilted up towards the rain and her eyes closed. It didn’t matter that her clothes were soaked, the simple tank top and jeans were now a much darker version of their original colours with scarcely a dry spot.
One of the laces of her trainers were untied and there was a puddle of water around her sodden shoes. Rain dripped and ran from her nose, from her earlobes, from her hair, and the few passers-by that were hurrying for their homes all thought the same things. ‘Poor child’, or ‘I wonder what happened to her’. But in truth, nothing had happened. She just happened to enjoy the sound of the quiet drumming of rain, the patter of water on her body that was both soft and hard at the same time, and the clean scent of rain that washed away everything.
It wasn’t cold, which was good, as last time she had done this she had ended up with a severe fever and had to be nursed back to health over a week and a half.
Her eyes opened and she slanted a look towards the pavement, where faintly, almost imperceptibly, the was the sound of footsteps, determined and sure.
Within a minute, the person came within range, a boy about ten years old. He was holding a large dark blue umbrella and the expression on his face was one of slight amusement and extreme disapproval.
With a sigh, Emilee turned her head and shot a crooked smile at him, “so you found me then”
He shot back her smile, but a slightly worried expression was on his face.
Her smile softened then and she moved forward, under the protection of the umbrella.
Lifting her hand, she ruffled his dark gold hair and took the umbrella from him, being the taller of the two. “You know, you really don’t have to worry about me. I’m not depressed or anything”
Shaking his head, the boy replied disdainfully “I could hardly leave you here all night, could I, besides, it’s not like I can just choose not to care. You’re like my sister, you know.”
A quiet laugh escaped from her lips and she put an arm around him, nudging him forward, where they slowly disappeared into the gloom, back to the orphanage.
“I wouldn’t have stayed out the whole night, just a few more hours.”
