Appearance:
With her wings:
Personality: Her personality is very quiet. Her eyes normally seem wide with wonder. Having never been outside the walls of the compound where she was raised everything is a new experience for her. Easily frightened by such normal things. She is extremely dedicated to whatever she sets her mind to. When you really get her mad she isn't afraid to fight back verbally but tries to keep herself from physical violence. She is desperatly loyal to her friends usually putting them in front of herself. Almost in a self sacrificing manner. She more of an observer than a person to take action. But when someone she cares for is in danger she will fight til her last breath to save them.
History:
It was Januaray 1st that a baby's cry was heard from the stark white laboratory in the Nephilim Corporation's genetic lab. Their first full term baby had been born and so far it looked like she was perfect. The angel. Tampering with her dna had given her man heightened abilities if all went well. Small wings jutted from the small girls back white and silver they were works of art thanks to none other than Doctor Damien Callhoun the man that had designed her wings. This was their first sucessful attempt at merging avian and human dna and thus far.. she was perfect.
Her cries rang out that day. And every day for the next sixteen years as she was kept in the Compound. It was there the doctors watched over her. Watched her develop unseen powers. It was those that intrigued them most. Where had they gone right? or wrong for that matter? She could heal.. they had seen it but she had fallen asleep right after and so the tests couldn't be conclusive. She had been tested her blood drawn, probes on her forehead to monitor her brain activity. Yet all of it.. so inconclusive. They had finally somehow tapped into a human's greater potential and they couldn't figure out how it had happened. And so the girl was poked and prodded every day of her life.
Shut in rooms for days at a time. No light, no food, no water. She was placed there to learn what she could and would do under presure. Made to fight and made to defend she began to learn and flesh out her powers out of self preserverance. She wanted to live and if that meant fighting the doctors and people that they threw at her then she would. But she was never forced to kill.. a human. They had allowed her one companion during her life at the Compound. A small puppy she had named Zeig. But they had injected Zeig with a form of the rabies virus and set the rabid dog in her room. Forced to put her own dog to it's death in a very forceful way they finally saw what she was capable of. For weeks tears flowed from her crystalline blue eyes and she never slept well again from her nightmares and from the lack of companionship of Zeig.
The doctors and scientists watched the girl. Her powers developing and soon she could call birds to her window. It was strange as they seemed to understand her and she found companionship within them. It was interesting to watch the white headed child grow and learn how to hide her wings without even a scar on her back. She never had a name. No she was a project not anyone's child and anyone who got too close to a parental figure was.. dealt with. It was not for fun they did this. No it was for scientific advancement. A new race of humans. Better humans. And she would be the 'Eve'.
Try as they might they could not create Adam. There was no way. Some how it always came out wrong. Personalities that were unbalanced. Defects such as blindness were immediatly seen as threats to the opperation and immediatly were disposed of. Subjected to more tests and more poking as they tried to figure out where she had gone right and others had gone wrong. Her entire life. Never once did she see the outside. One small window in her room up at the top she couldn't reach. It was this window the birds came to but she could never see anything but them and the sky. She didn't know life beyond pain and the Compound.
It wasn't until sixteen years had passed her over developed mind began to notice things when they let her out of the room. She had begun to notice the shifts and which were weaker which were kinder. She knew when the doctors went home every day and when they came in every morning. She also learned that beyond The Door there was a whole place that she would never get to see. She learned about pity and about empathy yet no one wanted to help the poor girl.
It was one day after she had been in a hold tank for eight hours that she finally snapped. The tank had been filled with water and her body been made to float for hours straight. Never seeing or hearing anything in the pitch black tube. Full eight hours of nothing. No senses what so ever almost drove her insane. When they finally let her out she spent the next few hours adjusting to the invasion of her already over sensitive senses. After they tested her reactions to that they left her alone and that was when she made her plan. She escaped. Using her powers as she did so her cyclone and her light arrows burning them out of her way. She broke through the door using a key card off of a knocked out security guard and summoned her spear. She did stab the night doctor the one that was in her way but only in the shoulder before binding him with her light and running out into the world. Her wings came out and she flew. Flew for the first time and headed out into the forest the only place where she notice a large population of birds. Her only friends.
It was there after days of starvation not knowing how to kill her own food or how to survive outside the confines of the Nephilim Corporation that she was found by the Academy. She had no idea how they found her she suddenly woke in the hospital wing. And for the first time she was cared for. A week passed as she was nourished and she was given life once more. Her body came back to health and these people.. they didn't want to study her. No they offered her several things at once. A place to live, a place to learn, a place to belong, and most importantly a name.
Style
Celestial Magic:
Due to her genetic tampering at the Nephilim Corporation she has developed powers that could only be explained as Celestial. Her elements are light and wind only. She cannot tap into other elements and cannot use her mana for any other spells. Thus it makes it hard for her to learn new ones unless they are of the two useable elements. Her mana for wind can be tapped at any time. She can use her mana and her wind spells easily without having to use her wings. Her light spells however can only be used when she has her wings out. Praying has nothing to do with her powers nor does the power of a higher being. Her power was not granted to her by that which is above but created in the lab. It was a mistake as they tampered with her genes and her magic is the result.
Strengths: She is a source of good. Soft and kind hearted but passionate and loving. Passionate about knowledge and her friends to a point that it might give her extra reason to fight. When a friend is in need she is there within a heartbeat willing to do all she can to help out. She can fly with her wings when she lets them come out and can fly for a good while. She can fly up to one hundred feet in the air with no strain. Excellent eye sight and superb hearing all effects of her genetic alterations.
Weaknesses:
Very new to the world as most know it many times she will be shocked into silence and inaction before she decides to act. She is still unsure of many things in life and is very curious. The fact that she is willing to fight for her friends so much can get her into trouble as she will fight to her last breath to do whatever she can. Healing or attacking she will fight with and for them almost singlemindedly. Her wings are a weakness. To touch them sends shivers down her spine and she is unable to move until the sensations pass. Again her wings are a weakness because they are a very easy target when she glides through the air. If her wings are impaled she will fall. With her wings injured she becomes weaker and is forced to pull her wings back in her body and then cannot perform her light spells. Flying any higher than one hundred feet will resort in strain on her body and loss of energy.
Spell List:
Light Seeker: Low level light attack spell that attacks an enemy and homes in them with beams of concentrated light. Doesn't cause too much damage but can definatly hurt. Causes more pain than actual physical damage. Must have her wings out to cast this spell.
Lunar Entrapment - Binds the enemy with bands of light to keep them still. Only works for a period of ten minutes before the light spell disipates. Can be broken if a dark spell hits the bands. Must have her wings out to use the spell
Prayer of An Angel- A large encompasing healing spell that heals all allies. A great strain to herself as nearly half of her mana is depleted in the use of this spell. But when used it will heal all allies in sight. This spell .. for it to be cast she must be in the air at least above the area. Her right hand comes to her chest two fingers raised as she closes her eyes and whisperes the name of the spell. If she is shot down the spell cancels if she falls before it's cast. Wings must be used.
Barrier of Light- A shield formed around the person of her choice including herself. However this spell requires her mental concentration to keep it up. If she is knocked out the spell cancels. And every time the barrier blocks something it draws on her mana and weakens the barrier. At her current level the barrier would last about five hits.
Staff of the Nephilim- A staff made of pure light that acts as a true weapon. Granted she is more skilled in magic than fighting but if she must resort to physical measures it is the staff she will call. It is solidified light with a sharp serated point on the end. Stabs but does not cut. Last as long as her wings or her mana does.
Dawn of October- A wind spell no wings necessary. This spell allows her to put force behind the air around her sending balls the size of baseballs at the enemy. Will bruise definatly unless armor is in the way. Can knock someone out if hit just right but is unlikely. Can be deflected if seen in enough time.
Leaf Fall- Picking up light debris like leaves from the ground around an emeny she can obstruct their view with the wind swirling the debris around them in a funnel cloud with the enemy in the eye. She has to concentrate hard to keep the spell going and cannot cast this and the Barrier of Light at the same time. If her eye contact of the funnel is lost the funnel will disipate.
Avian Call- One of her less common abilities and can be used without wings. She can call birds of all kinds out of the sky and understands their language. She uses it sometimes but the best thing about this spell is the fact that she can use the birds to scout an area. However it does not always work as sometimes the birds are unwilling to make a pact and unwilling to put themselves in any kind of danger. If one of her birds is shot down while she is bonded with it she too will suffer an injury. Never fatal but if a bird was killed she would be severely hurt. If only hurt she too will suffer a cut or lash.
Cyclone of Light- Using both elements as one she creates a cyclone of light and wind. The light bands whirl around as the funnel makes it's destructive way towards the enemy. This too takes quite a bit of mana and eye contact is key. However once cast she cannot change it's direction more than minutely therefore if any allies are in the way it too would hit them in their path. At this stage of spell casting the funnel does not kill or throw people as it might as it develops but more injures and knocks them back.
Sonic Arrow- Using the air around her she breathes in deeply. Placing two fingers on her lips like a peace sign she blows between them. One bolt of pure hardened air soars to the enemy. It is unseen and invisible yet only one can be created at a time. And if the air is knocked out of her lungs from an attack her own attack is null.
Star Storm- The lights of the stars are forever above us whether we see them or not. Daylight and night time they hang above the world in utter beauty. Calling upon the dying stars. So may die daily. Celeste has the ability to call on the stars be it day or night. Pulling with her mana she calls the dying stars to fall. And fall they do right towards her enemies. A very strong attack that takes at least half her mana for one attack because of the pull. It is a devestating attack however as the stars fall to earth they are large and create massive craters in their wake. This is a ranged spell only. Most effective against large groups of individuals.
