The Girl
+ Organized & Accounted For
With a penchant for collecting pens and notebooks, Abbi really just loves being in order. Life works easier when she knows exactly where she stands, even if its just with herself. It has become nearly ritualistic to keep a moleksine on her persons with various tallies of wins and losses, lists of goals, and records of her accomplishments or failures. While this could be taken as a stark reminder of one's lackluster performances, this strict keep up of the facts help push Abbi all the harder. They are a visual tracker of her continually rising progress. This is a very selfish form of optimism for she retains the hope of job well done for herself. She holds herself to a high personal standard, but it is a flexible one that has wiggle room for her sometimes less than stellar performances.
+ A Bottomless Pit of Useless Knowledge
Did you want to know how many apples you can eat to consume just 200 calories? Or how big the moon is? Or maybe you really wanted to know why cats land on their feet? Maybe even which is healthier for you, skim or whole milk? Well, let Abbi tell you ALL THE THINGS.
This little bit of random knowledge collecting stems from mild curiosity, but more the desire for honest applications of science to real life. Never the kind of girl to be terribly creative in the artistic sense, Abbi realized fairly early on that having an arsenal of facts ranging over various subjects will eventually play out in your favor. At least, it will always be a great conversation starter! And given how she is used to awkwardly staring at people, blurting out the odd mating habits of ducks makes for far less awkward situations.
+ Young At Heart
Even though she did recently graduate from high school, Abbi is still very much a young girl. Typically the quiet girl, she has yet to break from her proverbial shell which is a situation ripe for all sorts of potential. Most situations are approached with a childlike amount of wonder, every new experience a chance to learn something, a chance to figure things out. This can play to her disadvantage because she is not wizened to the way of the world yet, but for now she does not worry. For now she is excited for a new start, she is happy to take on a new path that her peers from back home were not aware enough to tread. Somewhat like a puppy, Abbi is unaware of any dangers that could befall her. Instead, the world is full of possibilities and she just has to figure out which one she can call her own.
- Fake Geek Girl
Spoiler Alert: She's not really a fake geek girl because obvi those don't exist, but Abbi is fearful of being labeled as such. With a deep seated love of those sparkly cartoon shows from Japan and the latest remaking of all those old sci-fi shows, she's still rather hesitant to talk about them for fear of judgement. To that extent she is hyper aware of what people might think. While she likes to pretend she doesn't care, she honestly does. Just getting Abbi to admit to it is rather difficult, of course. This particular vice manifests in a vaguely subconscious manner such as being careful of what she says in front of superiors or wearing what she has deemed appropriate length skirts. On the surface this isn't such a big deal since everyone is concerned with what others will think of them, but Abbi really lets it get to her. She will change her patterns if it means someone might like her, but more importantly, she will alter things about herself if they seem displeasing to the populace. This makes her wishy-washy in certain regards, and maybe there is room to change. But there is also room for it to get worse.
- Red Headed Step Child
With two step siblings won thanks to her father's remarriage when she was just a wee thing, Abbi has always felt the outcast in her own family. Even when she got along well with her step-mother, she grew up alongside two very high standards. The elder sister was a pinnacle of scholarly perfection and the younger brother was a leader in athletics. With two such extremes of Good Kids, that left Abbi right in the middle. And because she has no obvious talents, she became resentful. That resentment turned to bitterness toward not only her family, but also those who outshine her. Despite what might happen, she will make up a million excuses as to why she did not do better. There was clear favoritism, they're popular of course everyone loves them and not her, it was all rigged from the beginning. While she won't be overt in her judgements, she will whisper her nasty reasoning's to anyone who will listen. Having yet to learn that such lies come with consequences, she freely indulges in such things.
- Sheltered From The Wolves
Growing up in a small Connecticut town did not afford the teen many experiences outside the normal day to day fare that quickly becomes boring. While she was able to entertain herself with online pursuits and books under her parent's roof, now that she is older and, more or less, out on her own, Abbi is... Not prepared. One cannot prepare oneself for the myriad of adult experiences that are not the happy things movies make them out to be. And since Abbi cannot prepare herself when she so dearly loves to, it is likely she will react poorly. Stress, snappish attitudes and frantic, ill made decisions are her future undoubtedly, surely to be exacerbated by one particular entity...
The Weapon
+ Vibrant & Bold
Viveca has an opinion on everything and she is damn well going to tell you it whether you wanted to hear it or not. She laughs constantly, she revels in every victory and happily (and loudly) exclaims her favorite things. Once a particular version of will o'the wisp with murderous tendencies, she feels quite free in showcasing not only her literal brilliancy, but the one from her stunning personality. Stunning being a matter of opinion, but she'll make jokes until everyone agrees with her.
+ A Carefree Life
Though details of her past are unclear (and better left that way), Viveca loves what she has now. Everything is turned into a positive for her through sheer power of will and she will not accept anything else but agreement. Once that is obtained, she is happy and could honestly care less, for the most part. When things are good, they are exceedingly easy. When things are bad, she would rather not speak of them.
- Snarling Wilderness
While happiness is fun to play with, the faeu can snap at a moment's notice into a growling, angry thing. If something doesn't go her way she becomes a sputtering, cursing creature of spit and foulness. When confronted with a situation she does not want, the ghost will spew vile in the form of words and not care who she hurts in the process.
- A Spiteful Spirit
Spite and cowardice drove the ghost to her current state as weapon, and because of that she holds onto the negative aspects of herself with an iron grip. If she has deemed someone as her's, they belong to no one else. Often this comes with the stipulation that they are not even their own and if they express such a thought, she will guilt them relentlessly. Whether it is an effective tactic or not is another matter, but she will try it all the same.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
When Abbi was very young, she was involved in an unfortunate accident with her mother. While her mother did not survive the encounter, the daughter did and carried with her the last fleeting breaths of the one person who could always keep her safe. Since then, and possibly agitated by growing up near a number of reportedly 'haunted houses', the girl was always acutely aware of something else there in the shadows. It became a nuisance when her father remarried and the two new siblings didn't see them either, and it became a burden when no one else would give her the time to even talk of them.
But someone finally did. And it was only really one that was needed.
When the time came for high school to end and a new path to begin, Abbi decided that helping fight the bad guys sounded much better than frat parties and study hall. She skipped out on college applications as well as what her parents might think of their suddenly erstwhile daughter, and decided that she could make a difference somewhere in the world.
It only takes one, after all.
Weapon Ability
Lost Soul's Fire (Headlights)
Once fully charged, the rune on Abbi's scythe glows with an otherworldly light that splits into multiple, smaller, lights that hastily weave and bob around her opponent in order to distract them.
