S T R E N G T H S +EMPATHY. Coming from druidic descent, Shoshana possesses power over emotions and can therefore feel the emotions of others, which she has gained control of over the years to ensure that the emotions don't control her as she was naturally born with this power. She can feel what others are feeling, as if she was feeling these emotions for herself. Eventually she would be able to heal others using this power as she could heal them of their bad state of emotions. +AURA SENSING. This allows Shoshana to sense the nature of individuals, meaning if they are good or evil nature. Also included in this is if someone is of good or bad intentions when they do or say something. +ENHANCED SENSE OF DANGER. Shoshana also possesses the ability to sense when danger is nearby, whether directly affecting herself or those around her. Danger means whether someone is going to be hurt or not. Basically Final Destination style, but being able to stop that from happening. +ORGANISATION. She is a neat freak, plain and simple. She prefers having things clutter-free so that it is easier for her to work and do things without the stresses of having to go on wild goose hunts chasing after things she is looking for. This translates well for her classes, as she is also organised enough to be ahead of the class content. +INTELLECT. Shoshana possesses the intellect of someone studying in their final years of a masters degree in college, that is how well her brain works. She works well under pressure and is very knowledgeable of the things around her due to all the reading she has done over the years. + OVERACHIEVER. This ties in with Shoshana's organisation, where she is always ahead of the class content and always strives to do the best she possibly can and work her hardest to get great grades. +TECHNOLOGY. Shoshana loves the ease of technology and has become extremely good at it. She even knows how to hack into websites because of how knowledgeable she is of computers and ways of getting around different things on there. +LOYALTY. Shoshana is extremely loyal to those around her, especially her friends, where she would be there for them, no matter what it cost her by doing so. She always puts those around her before herself. +CALM. Generally, Shoshana is quite calm, until she panics and becomes stressed, which only happens in extreme cases. Generally she is well put together and always confident in her abilities. +SENSITIVITY. Due to the empathy ability she possessed, she is sensitive to the emotions of others around her and because she can feel what they are feeling, she is able to relate to them and understand them enough to help them out. W E A K N E S S E S +LACK OF CONFIDENCE. She doesn't have much confidence in herself, as not many people want to be friends with her. She knows she doesn't wear the nicest things or act the coolest in public, and it does irritate her at times. +HER EMOTIONS. Sometimes she can lose control over her emotions, especially when there are a lot of tense emotions in the one place. This can cause her to be in a state of mind where she can barely make sense of anything or when the emotions are unleashed. +TAKEN FOR GRANTED. She is so loyal and reliable to others, that this can lead to her being seen as reliable to others, so they abuse this privilege to get what they want because they know Shoshana won't mind helping them out. +SOCIAL OUTCAST. She doesn't have many friends, and most people in the school only talk to her when they want something for themselves. She therefore doesn't get noticed around the school or have much saying power or anything. +PHYSICALLY WEAK. She is just a teenage girl with no enhanced powers outside of her emotions and mind, therefore she is prone to being caught up in difficult situations which can cause danger to herself, as she can sense when danger is near and sometimes feel like she has to help the person out. +RELATIONSHIPS. She has never had a relationship, apart from one of those informal ones in kindergarten which mean nothing. She is just so timid around guys she doesn't know or likes, and feels she just isn't what any guy would want.

H I S T O R Y Unbeknownst to Shoshana, she is of druidic heritage, dating back centuries, allowing her the gifts of empathy, aura sensing and danger sensing. Her powers are passive, but are effective in many situations. Druidic magic is similar to wiccan, however comes from a different line, focused more on using the earth and the elements around one's self to their own use and advantage. Growing up, Shoshana had the simple life, living with her mother and father. She was an only child, and therefore remained quite timid during her childhood and not really mixing well with other kids because she was not as used to it as others were who had siblings. She was always loved by her parents, them being conservative-minded and more strict on Shoshana in the sense that they wanted her to do well with herself and always had strict ideals about her hanging out with the wrong crowds and getting involved in any dangerous situations. They didn't want her having boyfriends or anything like that until she was of age because they didn't want to see her hurt. Although they had these strict enforcements, they always did it to protect their daughter. When she was in school, she begun developing powers which allowed her to feel the emotions of others. She went through a period where she would just cry at school or be angry all of a sudden, and no one really knew what the problem with her was. They just put it down to her not liking the company of other students or being afraid around other children because she wasn't used to it, so her parents decided to take her away from school and home-school her, as well as have a tutor help her out. She spent a lot of her time by herself reading and learning about new things, because she was too afraid of being around people and what this would do to her. However she had noticed she was getting better control over her emotions, which led her to her fear of seeing people at high school. However she wasn't having nervous breakdowns or anything like that anymore, she was calm, but for some strange reason could feel the emotions of others and how they would feel. She kept away from people still, only managing a couple of friends who she managed to get used to over time and felt comfortable around. This made her happier, having some friends, because she felt like people cared about her, and first hand knew they did because she could feel that they cared about her. She continued reading, until she stumbled upon the concept of empathy, whereby she realized that maybe she wasn't just extremely sensitive and understanding, but could actually understand what these people were going through because she was feeling what they were. She never understood why she was in possession of this power, however just assumed maybe she was meant for it, and its meaning would come out in some time. Until then, she focused hard on excelling at school and soon found herself as the top student in the whole school because of her work ethics and high intellect which matched college students studying a masters, or so she had been told. She begun tutoring other students in her free time who needed some help because she didn't mind doing it and it made her feel like she was making some kind of a difference. Her whole world soon tipped outside down when she found herself being attacked by a vampire when she suddenly felt like there was danger nearby and went to investigate it, leading herself into trouble. She was rescued by a woman, who later explained she was a vampire slayer and that she fought these creatures. She found herself deciding that she wanted to be a part of that, and that somehow, these powers were related to this calling and that she was also chosen to help Janelle fight in this battle. ___________________________________________ Shoshana had been completing her sketching homework in the library for Graphics Design, when she decided to perhaps go and sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, and the sandwich her mum packed her that morning. She wasn't the type of person to go and buy lunch from the cafeteria. For one, the prices were overly-expensive, and two, a lot of the food on the menu was unhealthy. She also didn't see how a slab of green slime could be appealing to eat for lunch. The only good thing about the cafeteria's here were the fruit juices. Filled with fruity...Goodness? Carrying her sketchbook did make it difficult for her to see the direction she was going at times, however she hadn't managed to bowl anyone over yet, which was a relief. However that thought soon turned sour when she ran into someone coming around a corner. Although she wasn't exactly direction-capable at the moment, she could see that they weren't exactly paying too much attention either. Their books dropped to the ground, and she reflexedly led out a "oh," before kneeling down and helping the girl pick up her books. Judging by the accent she had, it didn't seem like she was around Miami, or possibly even America. Maybe she was a new student, or an exchange student? Ohh, they were always cool! She remembered tutoring an exchange student last year, but it wasn't the most fondest memory, considering the boy was asian and said nothing except 'why' all the time. She wasn't one to give up...But under such circumstances, she really did give up. "I'm so sorry...I wasn't really looking where I was going. You know...Big bulky sketchbook and all. Thats me, the sketchbook girl. Did I mention I'm sorry?" Her face showed apology written all over it. She smiled cooly towards the girl, hoping that she was already and none of her books that were dropped were damaged. "Hey, you do biology too? Thats awesome. I'm doing it this year too...Good ol' science!" Gosh, could she come off as anymore of a nerd? rhys. twenty two. six years roleplaying. |
