Name: Nyssa Adrica Traken (Nis-ah Add-rick-a Track-kin, Will respond to Nis as a shortened name.) Age: 116 (Born in 2005, 18yrs in 2023 and by the year 2121, she is 116yrs old.) Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual (see edit below that further explains this) Race: Undefinable (The Destroyer?) Slave or Temp Slave: Temp Slave (Commoner?)
Bio:
Nyssa was born from two normal human beings of quintessential upbringing. Her parents were quite normal as well, their own upbringing on the borderlands of boring and interesting. Her father, the names of her parents lost to her with age, was a postal worker while her mother was a nurse who moonlighted as a waitress. Both of her parents were well-to-do and left Nyssa with never a want for anything. Nyssa, a girl with lovely wheat colored hair and blue-green eyes was the vision of perfection. She was lovely as she was smart, always finding comfort in a good book far beyond her expected reading level. She had been committed since birth to please her parents and she had usually found success.
Melanie was a waitress when she had met David while working in a dive department store restaurant. They had met as waitress-and-customer since the nearest place for David to dine on lunch and supper breaks were at her establishment, which had catered to an old nostalgic theme. The music they played at the restaurant was easy listening and though neither their type, they had bonded on the mutual dislike of the sound. She was raised on the smooth twang of country, he on the hard and fast rock and roll, but they had grown in small conversations during the lunch and supper rushes to be quite fond of each other. After only a few months of courtship, the two had become engaged. The idea had popped into David's head the moment she spoke against the soulful styling of an at-then popular singer but remained pushed back under conscious thought until weeks later.
They were at a mutual friend's house, who the woman of which had a piano in her small flat. She had tried and failed miserably at becoming a musician and the keyboard had long since seen any use. David had taken lessons as a child and played a very simple melody for his love before asking his girlfriend Melanie to "help him tune."
"It sounds like something is stuck under a wire," he had explained. When she had lifted the lid to the baby grand, inside she noticed something amiss. A small fleck of diamond appeared tied to a loose wire. "It's a ring. Don't know how that got in there..." she had pondered. But David had known how, for he had planned it with the friend. At the party, surrounded by their loved ones, he proposed. Only a few months of dating, she agreed whole-heartedly, knowing that chivalry was dead and if the man had planned such an event then surely he was worthy of her time.
After meeting when he was twenty two and she at twenty four, they were wed after several months of an engagement. Six years later, after discovering a defect in the woman's reproductive organs and several miscarriages, a child was born at the mother's age of thirty one. It was a wonder to their friends how much their love of each other had carried them through.
Neither were spectacular in looks but they had their own similarities. Both were raised in the same state, growing up a few miles from each other. Both had been raised from large families and from family drama, Melanie never knowing her father and her sisters and brothers (five in total) for the most part from each different fathers with exception to her twin sisters. David, similarly had also the same amount of sisters and brothers as his future-wife, his own family turmoil spawning from an unfaithful mother(although only one time) and a sick father.
Despite their similarities, they each had their differences and they were large and could cause trouble in their relationship. David was a man who objected to regular tidiness and fits of frustration which resulted in a total make-over of the house each time. The family kitchen had seen several renovations by the time Nyssa entered high school. Her mother was a woman who prided herself on structure and at each frustration of David resulted in stress and her own frustration. The day he remodelled the living room without consultation was the final straw for the tired woman and she finally put her foot down. After that day, the horrific day still vivid in Nyssa's memory (although the specifics of her father's frustration, the words shared would be lost much like the names were) there was no more frustration in the house. Nyssa would not remember why.
A child was born a few months later several months premature. Nyssa had known the child would not survive for she had always been sensitive to visions, her mother's excuse of an over-active imagination. But she would not forget the vision on top of her school desk moments before the principal's voice was heard over the PA system. This had lead the parents to give up, and had lead Nyssa's life to be quite spoiled, despite their financial situation. She was the child who had lived and so they would treat the girl special. Because of her own upbringing, she was prone to bullies and a lack of social life. She had always interacted well with adults, for those were the types of beings she was most around. She could understand and perceive well the hidden turmoil of adults. Knowing of their stress she had made a goal to aid them in their care of her, always doing her best to ease that inconvenience of raising a child. She had kept to herself, always staying out of trouble. She found the most comfort from writing and reading and listening to music. She would blend the songs of country and rock just to experiment, but her favorite activity was to write. Her father had dabbled in creative writing prior to his thankless job at the post office and had made a small name of himself locally as a poet, but not of any critical acclaim. He had written morbid things of epic tales and though Nyssa had read his works she had never had a fondness for her father's creations. They did not rhyme. Her mother had poured herself into work, her father pouring himself into his workshop. It had seemed to her for a portion of her teenage life that David had purchased tools simply because he thought it necessary of his gender, and though he had constructed items for around the house it had only become a place of solitude and escape. He still loved Melanie and their perfect child Nyssa, but it had come a time in her teenage years that the man had no notion of how to treat a young woman, especially one as mature as the girl.
As the years came and went, those eyes stayed blue but the hair had turned from picket-fence white to a mousy brown, transforming the bright child to the invisible girl she truly was. But no one would have ever anticipated for Nyssa's visions to truly come true.
Nyssa had visions of what she thought was apocalypse. The end of times. She had been right, but so wrong at the same time. It was not the end of times, but the end of a time, and Nyssa had been the cause of it.
It was her actions that lead to the Great Reveal. If it hadn't been for the small diner, people would have been transformed into kitsunes, demons, vampires and lycans (though their origins had been prior to her birth). She and her visions, which lead her down a false and evil path paved with good intentions, had carved the tunnel for the Portal to open.
The bright child, always top of her class, always the girl picked last, the goody-two-shoes decided the moment she had heard of the news that she was going to set things right to everyone afflicted with the result of her actions. She had been at fault and she would fix everyone.
She would ease the suffering of those she had inconvenienced by simply being born, much like to the adults in her life.
And Nyssa had succeeded, taking on the daunting task of healing a man caught between the planes of Inner and Outer demon. After long hours of ritual and surgery and experimental drugs the man returned from horrific being and personality to the normal man he had once been. It was a shame that he had not survived the recovery. Even her second, tenth, hundredth attempt did not survive. Each had remained human only a few short hours after transformation. It was only poetic justice that Nyssa take a grotesque form of her own.
Elongated limbs and neck, her body stretched till she could stretch no more, became the shell that housed the invisible girl Nyssa. Her fingers became stubby nubs, still slender and posable to work her healing, but ugly enough to not be longed to touch. And power had coursed through her veins, aiding the young woman to help those who needed it more than her. Healing powers. Able to cure the illwill of the mind, of addiction and in rare cases had been able to transform one from super-natural back to human and have the patients survive. It was only natural that she follow the footsteps of her mother, the nurse.
She had become the nurse of the world.
Personality: She is timid and kind, never dreaming to hurt a person. She holds insects in the same regard as people would (as she had not altered their lives in any capacity) and is not afraid to kill a spider. She does fear people, as people fear her. She is typically scared of being ambushed or trapped and killed over her past mistakes. She does her best to not interfere but will if violence is involved. If people are fighting she will attempt to mediate before soaking in their pain and suffering to cause a cease-fire.
Abilities, Special Skills, Weaknesses: - Is a great social worker - Great at solving mysteries, such as forensic detective. - Can heal minds and "problem" personalities, such as substance dependency, depression and general "ailments" such as childhood issues. -Can heal physical wounds and even, rarely transform a "mutant" into a "mundane," though the process is excruciating for the patient, and for Nyssa.
Weaknesses:
- Blames herself for the world's destruction of human kind - Cannot heal herself - Takes on more than she can chew - The effects of her healing are temporary (except when transforming a super into a mundane, which is permanent if successful) and she hopes that during the lapse in say, depression, the patient afflicted can find reasons to be happy to not be affected again. - Because of her long body, she walks and talks slow. Everything about the woman is slowed, as though time is not a factor. This causes extreme frustration in Nyssa as she wants to be quick with patients, so she can see more of them, more often. - Can and will take the "illness" upon herself to remove it from the patient. This process leaves her altered. Her mood, her appearance, her personality may reflect her patient as they are healed. The finality of this process leaves almost a carbon-copy on the woman so the patient is completely "normal," and the woman quite in need of her own help. What I exactly mean by this is in this regard, she is a social worker of sorts. If the character approaches me for help or support, I will try to talk before resorting to magic. My process of healing if I do resort to magic is that I absorb their trouble. For example, if a character is suicidal and Nyssa removes that hate and sadness from the character, then Nyssa will become suicidal. She is merely a sponge to clean up her own messes. It will only work if the character wants help and it will not remove sexual orientation or preference. She an only "fix" social issues like a therapist would, or a doctor. There is a margin for error, of course, and not everything is a hundred percent exact and fixable. This leaves the patient character open and free to develop those problems again.
Collars: Green Charms: Pacifier - Nanny, good with children Ankh - Understands the theory of magic and/or can cast spells Equal-sided Cross - Knows medicine or is good at first aid
Edit: I would give her a pink collar, but I don't want her hired out for lovey-dovey sex. She's asexual: this means she's scared of people and does not want to appear vulnerable. That being said, I will RP coitus with Nyssa, only it cannot be romantic love (as much as she wants it like any human girl does). I would prefer to write her taken advantage of, but I will write romantic love as well. I am not opposed to the idea, but would prefer abuse over love especially with a character such as Nyssa. Just to clarify: Yes, she does have orifices of which to insert things. If I were to add collars to help define her personality, it would be as the following:
Pink w/ Handcuffs and Whip, with Mouth licking Lips. Granted, she doesn't "like" to be tied up or whipped, but she will endure it. She is a character made to suffer for the wrongs of the world. I.E. She is whipped. Nyssa's mind: "I have deserved this and I will take my punishment no matter the pain."
Red collar. She enjoys giving blood. White bell. What did you expect from a social misfit? She was an 18yr old virgin when the world changed.
She does not drive a car, nor is she "spectacular" with animals (unless they were humans at one point, such as a lycan). She could have a broom charm, for who the hell does not know how to clean up (true, they may not be tidy, but they know the theory behind it?) Calculator. Nyssa is a bright and smart girl and with her social life being non-existent, she would prefer working alone over in a group. However because she is so polite and kind, she is good with the public(just prefers to be alone).
/Edit: 2011-02-13
Crush/Lover: Owned By: The Temp Agency, hired out to half-way houses and hospitals.
Height: 7'2" Hair Color: Bald. Lost hair in her own transformation. Eye Color: Stone grey. Lost iris pigment in her own transformation. Markings or Birthmarks: Appearance: BEFORE: Blonde Hair Brown Hair

"Can heal minds and "problem" personalities, such as substance dependency, depression and general "ailments" such as childhood issues" Erhm... I don't think I agree. If you think you can magically click your fingers and relieve some of the more crazy characters on this forum of their deep set issues then just No. Lemme explain: I built Draiton with hundreds of issues because they are fun to play out, not because I hoped someone would magically cure them away. It seems... not over powered, but a power people don't want Out of Character, whilst the characters themselves might want to be alieviated. You might want to say she can Try to heal deep set issues, and I'd certainly Love to see her try to council Dratz for a start.
Your history is fantastic, for the most part. It gets a bit confusing when you write about how she became a nurse of the supernatural, certainly unique and interesting but it feels rushed in comparison to the rest of the bio. On the other hand, there's enough info there for you not to have to change anything.
I guess your transforming power would be context dependant on who you were roleplaying with to keep away from godmodding, so I'll leave you alone on that front.
'- Can and will take the "illness" upon herself to remove it from the patient. This process leaves her altered. Her mood, her appearance, her personality may reflect her patient as they are healed. The finality of this process leaves almost a carbon-copy on the woman so the patient is completely "normal," and the woman quite in need of her own help.' Again, it's an interesting and unique power but I'm not sure how happy people would be to roleplay this out with you. ... Remove it from the paitent. Hmm, I wonder if my paedophile took your help to remove his ailments how would that alter his story line. For the one he could start living normally (though I doubt prejudices against him would be removed even if the cause had been) but then... what? I didn't create him as a blank human so I'd assume his 'ailment' would return to make it fun for me to play him again. I'd want it to return without completely demolishing your healing powers, d'j'you see what I mean? What I mean is: You can Attempt to heal, be pretty good at it, but by no means can you say for 100% that it will always work, 100% of the time on 100% of the cases. Indeed it'd be fascinating to watch you Learn... your character travel the forum to find curse after curse to attempt it, study it, learn the differences of every woe. Unlike physical illness, mental inflictions are unique, diverse and never identical and so one medicine won't cure every person. Give it a go, but don't expect to be able to make miracles, I (for one) like to play messed up characters and wouldn't have them any other way no matter how much they hurt inside.
Blaming herself for the world's issues is fine, you can debate IC whether she is mistaken or correct it's an interesting point.
You might want to lengthen your list of collars for a few reasons: collars have the Out of Game affect of summarising your character's personality. When a master goes around to see who he/she wants to buy they glance at collars to see if you're compatible. The more you have, the more likely it is that you'll be bought. That said, I think Anulas would employ you for one. You don't HAVE to have more collars and charms, but you might find it easier to play if you do. Your charms are perfect for what you have written, they certainly match your character to a tee. I just wondered if there was anything more to her personality other than 'nurse', for example, can she drive, does she like animals, can she use computers etc. Just interesting little nuggests that expand the character into a more relateable person. That said, In your bio I absolutely loved the part about bullying in school. I think we can all understand that experience and the social misfit aspect and it was refreshing to read a text that seemed to relate to me. It made your character understandable and I enjoyed getting into her world.
Owned by is a brilliant response, well done ^.^ Other than that, yeah- good.
So, you don't have to change anything, but with your powers dont expect it to be 100% reliable in all cases. I love the uniqueness of your character image, it's nice not to see a sterotypical large breasted posting and puckered girl~ no offence to anyone but individuality certainly rubs me the right way. So approved, less you want to review anything?

I thank you for approving me so fast however I would like to clarify her powers. I will edit my profile and mention them in this separate post so you are not inconvenienced by having to re-read.
- Can heal minds and "problem" personalities, such as substance dependency, depression and general "ailments" such as childhood issues.
and
- Will take the "illness" upon herself to remove it from the patient. This process leaves her altered. Her mood, her appearance, her personality may reflect her patient as they are healed. The finality of this process leaves almost a carbon-copy on the woman so the patient is completely "normal," and the woman quite in need of her own help.
What I exactly mean by this is in this regard, she is a social worker of sorts. If the character approaches me for help or support, I will try to talk before resorting to magic. My process of healing if I do resort to magic is that I absorb their trouble. For example, if a character is suicidal and Nyssa removes that hate and sadness from the character, then Nyssa will become suicidal. She is merely a sponge to clean up her own messes. It will only work if the character wants help and it will not remove sexual orientation or preference. She an only "fix" social issues like a therapist would, or a doctor. There is a margin for error, of course, and not everything is a hundred percent exact and fixable. This leaves the patient character open and free to develop those problems again.
I hope I've clarified well?

As Dratz is not around right now - but has pretty much approved the character already - I'll chime in and say that the clarifications work nicely, as far as I am concerned. Wouldn't want to hold you back, while you wait for Dratz, so happy posting.

While I know I have been approved, I would like to adjust my character's abilities and wish to put it through scrutiny.
I wish for Nyssa to adopt a change in physical appearance when she heals "character flaws." The purpose of this is so she may be beautiful in the traditional sense if I ever need use of it, but still not perfect with a tattered mind or addiction. I could even play on it by having Nyssa eventually becoming "addicted to therapy" where she insists on taking character flaws just so she can be "traditionally beautiful."
IE - Ugly girl with smarts and beautiful personality, vs. Beautiful girl with ugly personality.
