Evil's Gratitude / Re: [RPG] Evil's Gratitude OOC
« on: April 05, 2012, 07:04:39 am »
Name: Ren Amelia Porter [Ren]
Age: 23
Race: Human
Appearance: Wavy ginger hair that flows past her shoulders; very pale skin; big, indigo eyes; roughly average 5'5"
Curse: Her curse is simple: illusions no one else can see, hear, or feel/touch but her. She can't control them unfortunately though, she's never has been able to. Not only that, but she can no longer tell when something is an illusion or real, a distinction she lost months into the curse appearing at age sixteen. How did she get the curse? Simple: her twin sister made a deal to keep Ren safe whilst she was dying. As a result, Rei's soul went to the demon and the deal slightly backfired onto Ren in a way her twin didn't mean. A possible cure? Her husband, a "life weaver". Due to physical touch between them, Ren is able to see the "weave of life", which automatically rids of any current illusions due to them not existing in the web. {More details on this will be in his profile.}
Background: Born to protective, loving parents, Ren and Rei had a nice childhood. Their family was fairly well off (money wise) and her father had a sturdy job whilst her mother was a stay-at-home mom. Cherise homeschooled the twins and so they didn’t get out much. There weren’t many other children on their street to play with, with the exception of Jeb Porter. Ren, Rei, and Jeb used to play for hours and hours in either of their houses or in the forest neighboring the street. As the girls grew older and middle school came, they managed to convince their mother to let them go to a private school verses being homeschooled. They started sixth grade in their first adventure of an actual school. Going to school upheld the friendship between the twins and Jeb and allowed them to spend a bit more time together.
When Ren and Rei were thirteen, their parents perished in a car crash on a rainy night. Ren and Rei barely survived, spending weeks in the hospital following the crash. Once recovered, the girls were forced to move away to their Aunt Edith’s, who now had custody of them, being the only other living relative.
The move and loss of parents wedged a void between the twins and Jeb, who lost touch following the move.
Their aunt, who was extremely wealthy, was kind, but she wasn’t a good “mother”. The girls isolated themselves from everyone but each other. Nearly two years after the fatal car crash, Rei was diagnosed with Leukemia. Her battle lasted a mere five months before the disease claimed her life. Ren struggled afterwards in both school and life in general. She found it difficult to sleep at night, difficult to focus on her schoolwork, and lost the willpower to care. As her life seemed to be collapsing around her, she began to see things. Random things at random times, for no reason. No one else could see, hear, or feel these illusions and it wasn’t long before she lost her grip on what was real and what was not.
Years slipped by, barely passing school and graduating. Once eighteen, high school done, Ren moved out of her aunt’s estate and got her own apartment in the city. She got a job as a bookkeeper at the local bookstore. Books were always a bit of a distraction from the illusions that plagued her. But only a bit. One day, whilst stocking the shelves, she bumped into a familiar person. (literally...) Although it was six years later, it was undeniably Jeb.
The two quickly reconnected and their friendship was renewed, meanwhilst love flourished between the them. Over the first few weeks, Ren began to realize that it wasn’t coincidence that her illusions didn’t come around when she was Jeb. It was Jeb himself. Something about him prevented her from seeing anything but the truth. At least most the time, with an occasional exception. Ren found it difficult to be away from Jeb for both this reason and finding herself in love. At twenty, the pair happily tied the knot and have been living a quiet life since. Well, as quiet as it could be with a woman like her.
Sample:
She tilted her head as her eyes grew wider, letting her feet lead her off the cracked sidewalk in a trance-like state. What she saw couldn't be true, and yet she couldn't help but follow on a false hope. A light breeze drifted through the autumn air, a soft, echoing laugh riding with it, as she paused at the edge of the bushes. It was coming from within there, hiding amongst the dying foliage. Ren reached up and forced the branches and leaves to part, a glimmer of orange catching her eye between two trees. Wiggling between the parted brush, she continued on, ignoring the new cuts adorning her bare arms. She took a few more steps before coming to a halt in realization of the forest's silence, straining her ears to hear the laughter. There. Renewed hope flared through her chest as she bolted after the girl she glimpsed behind a fallen log. She couldn't understand why the girl wanted to run from her, never looking back but with a teasing laugh that strung Ren along. However, it wasn't too long before the girl came to a sudden stop, standing still with her back turned towards Ren. Tilting her head once again, the woman slowly reached out to touch the girl on the shoulder.
Ren! The hand gripping her arm jolted her out of her trance, the girl vanishing at once. Blinking in confusion, she looked from the empty space to her husband's face. The worry on his face was obvious, paired with a bit of confusion of his own. You just.. Ran off. His words were broken by panting, a clear sign of running. He must've followed her. What happened?
I just thought I saw.. Her eyes drifted from his face to where the girl had been standing seconds ago before shaking her head roughly. No no.. It was just me as a child.
** NOTE 1: For anyone who was with Shion when we had the original EG forum, you'll recognize me.
Same girl, same story, same curse. I'm thrilled to bring her back.
** NOTE 2: Jeb is another RPer who is currently away due to rl. When he returns, he'll get his profile set up as well. He's also the same character as the original Jeb on the original EG forum.
** NOTE 3: I lost everything when the forum closed because I was slacking, so Rei's name may change. I believe it's right because of the meaning between her and Ren, but I don't remember it being THAT close. Not that it really matters for anyone, throwing it out there.
