AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM Name: Surwen Jernigan. [SEER-wen]
Nicknames: Siri.
Gender: Presents as androgynous, but prefers feminine pronouns.
Age: 17.
Faction: Ghost.
Race: Gwyllion.
Natural Ability: Redirection - Did you think you were going the right way up until you heard her say something? Sorry, but she got you. Surwen is able to use her voice to cause severe disorientation for a minute or two--usually just enough to count. Those affected by this ability may wind up even feeling a little sick to their stomachs, but this isn't always the case, as she has no real control over that aspect of her ability just yet.
Personality:
[+] Outgoing | Siri is very much a force of nature when it comes to social interaction. She's confident, perhaps a tad brash, and good at keeping conversations rolling through even the most awkward of silences. This ghoul isn't quiet by any means, and if she's got a problem with you, you'll definitely know it. She can come off as over-the-top, which is an entirely accurate analysis of her character; don't mention it to her, though. There's no way she's being dramatic either, she'll insist as she descends from the ceiling and fog machines start.
[-] Opportunistic | She doesn't have a lot of shame, really, and has absolutely no problems with taking what she wants when she has the chance. Strike while the iron's hot, as the saying goes--and she likes hitting hard and fast. Surwen is not above using dirty tactics to get what she's after, and she won't be bothered by it in the slightest, either. She's shameless, among other things, and reasons that if she's able to get it, then she should. That, and Siri just...doesn't care if she bruises any feelings or egos in the process. If it's hers, she got it 'legitimately' enough to where she's keeping it, and tough sludgesticks for everybody else.
[+] Adventurous | Got something new to try or somewhere you haven't explored? Siri is your ghoul, then. New experiences and conquests are a big thing for her, and she absolutely loves going out and doing something she hasn't before. Can't knock it 'til you try it, as her philosophy goes! On the downside, this can get her into some problematic situations, not that she cares much. The thrill of doing things is enough to make it worth it.
[-] Possessive | What's hers is hers, and you would do well to remember that. If she trusts you with one of her things, that's a very big sign that she likes you. That's a double-edged sword, though--creeple are just as liable to fall under the purview of 'her things' as objects are. The same rules apply. If one of her things is broken or damaged, the offender's going to have hell to pay to make up for it--this isn't going to go well for them, if she has anything to do with it.
[+] Good-Humored | It can't be said that Siri isn't at least somewhat amicable when she wants to be. She's got a love of humor and jokes, and if you're able to keep her interest with these, there's no doubt that you'll quickly be found amongst the rest of her creeple. She laughs a lot and easily, and can often be found amusing herself with some frankly stupid jokes that really shouldn't amuse most creeple. Little amusing phrases that strike her as funny can be used to get her laughing almost every time, and it's good to remember a few of these in case she starts getting angry at somebody she shouldn't. Simply deploy a tactical dose of 'molten s**t' or whatever the phrase of the week is, and she'll be distracted in moments.
[-] Hasty | Oh, she does not plan. Surwen is a doer instead of one of the more intellectual decision-makers, and her impatience plays a very big role in this. When she wants to do something, she'll do it then and there; again, this makes some issues from time to time. She's entirely prone to charging in headfirst to deal with her problems without actually thinking about it, and as a result, often winds up making things worse until a third party comes along to tell her to stop being stupid and start trying to think for once in her unlife.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Surwen and her father made a deal that one day, when she'd managed to show that she was ready for it, she'd be sent to the Academy. That day still hasn't come, but she's good at forging paperwork, as she's discovered!
That's what her father would like her to think, anyway. She did a pretty terrible job on his signature, and Mr. Jernigan decided that it was about time to send his youngest off to start the rest of her life, and filed the paperwork properly--and covertly. He's really hoping she'll come back more...mature.
Just don't tell her that her father pulled the wool over her eyes.
FEAR Ability:
[ Turnabout -The Mind ]
Surwen focuses her FEAR and changes her opponent's sense of direction rapidly, intending to disorient them or make them nauseous. It's rather like being spun in place at high speeds! Fun for the whole family.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Bright green.
Hair Colour/Style: Coppery red - very curly, long, and untamed.
Skin Colour: Black.
Clothing Style/Colours: See official art!
Extra: Not only do her eyes glow, the sclera is also black. Surwen has freckles as well that show up as lighter or darker dots, mostly on her cheeks. Her lantern is also always with her.
Siri also wears a pair of sturdy steel gauntlets at basically all times--all the more reason not to do something to earn a backhand, really.
