BASIC INFORMATION
Name: Tess Donaldson
Canon: Original Character/Deviant Universe Shared Setting - Omega War (2013), Midpoint of the War at which point she has fled to the ocean depths.
Sex: Female
Age: 21. Looks to be in her early twenties or late teens.
Height: 4'10"
Weight: 130 lb
Appearance: Example Art (Deviantart): by Severflame * Severflame #2 * by Insane-Ukulele * By Siamese712 * by Rhardo
Standing at a scant 4'10”, Tess is a stocky, powerfully built and athletic woman with decidedly and obviously inhuman features, the shark half of her parentage far more obvious than any ties to her biological father. Her skin is a gray color and has a very slightly sand-papery feel when the hand is run over it, almost like there are tiny spines all over it rather than body hair. While it is not rough enough to actually chaff anyone touching it, her skin has a definite 'grip' to it. She has jet-black eyes without sclera or iris and sea-green hair the same color as the brilliant shallows of the tropics. Her mouth is full of razor-sharp shark's teeth and she has a set of gills on either side of her throat. Muscular, lithe and smooth framed, she has very little in the way of endowments, being almost flat-chested. She has a pair of trident tattoos on the back of her hands, the tines pointing towards the knuckles.
She generally dresses in either simple jeans and hoodies with sunglasses to cover her eyes, or when swimming she tries to use skin-tight neoprene suits to aid in swimming easily. Her clothes focus on functionality and concealment, avoiding anything that would show off her unnatural appearance. She tends to stand almost ram-rod straight, very rarely slouching and moves with quick, aggressive steps, practically barreling from one point to another. Her voice has a husky, low tone to it that is just at the edge of masculine and seems to brim with aggressive, almost predatory elements.
House: Fool
Psyche: Her mental landscape appears as one of two places - 1) The depths of the ocean floor, nearly lightless, warm due to the nearness of volcanic vents and alone. Luminescent fish float by in the distance and, occasionally much larger shadows can be felt as much as seen, but it is a world that is alone, quiet, and solitary. Almost no sound comes into this place. 2) A lone lighthouse standing quietly along a coastline with only a few, well-tended structures. It looks lived in and maintained, but otherwise quiet and forgotten.
Her mental landscape is typified by images like these. There is nobody inside of them, other than her. Sentient life has no place within it, and only distant memories of people ever seem to appear, usually in the form of photos that looked weathered and frayed with age, or similarly forgotten. Occasionally, a trident can be seen in a corner. It is the only thing that looks poorly tended, pock-marked and rusted with salt-damage, pitting and age, forgotten there.
PERMISSIONS - CHARACTER
PHYSICAL
Killing this character: Discuss with me first. I would prefer to keep this to plot-centric only and am not keen on death with this character.
Injuring this character: Scrapes, bruises, cuts, minor scars sure. Loss of Limb/Major Damage, talk to me first.
Fighting this character: This character is a scrapper, so fights are a-ok in my book
Flirting: Go for it, but expect Tess to be either unaware of the flirtation or awkward and diffident, unless you are a male shark.
Intimacy with this character: Will require IC Build-up, unless... again, you are a male shark, and it's um... late Summer or early Fall. (To be clear: She is generally only attracted to her own species, and has a bit of an angry hangup about the greek gods, so if you aren't a shark, you're going to have to work on this for a while.)
No intimacy with a character under the age of 18. Not even with mind-control. The fallout, if she is not physically compelled to do so, is not something I want to deal with.
Limiting this character's physical autonomy: Run what you want by me first. I'm usually good with most things, but run it by me first.
MENTAL
Privacy: Tess' mind tends to be close to an open book. She's strong willed, but has little in the way of mental defenses against 'mind reading.' Surface thoughts are easily enough read. Memories of her parents, of a fairly boring life, and a few superhuman brawls are reasonably easy to see if someone plumbs. Her thoughts are almost painfully mundane at most times.
Limiting this character's mental autonomy: Run what you want by me first. I'm usually good with most things, but run it by me first.
PERMISSIONS - GAMEPLAY
Backtagging: To infinity and beyond! I am willing to handwave or backtag as a rule, whatever is most suitable.
Threadhopping: Generally ok.
Fourthwalling: OC, this is generally not an issue.
Offensive subjects: I do not offend easily. Ask if you're really worried
Format: Whatever works
Warnings: Despite her appearance, Tess is a fairly 'normal person.' Outside of some young-adult angst over her adopted parents dying while she was young and her biological father being kind of a dick? The most likely trigger is that she is very much a shark with humanoid emotions and sentience. So, she's going to do things a shark would (You know, bite raw meat. Hunt live critters, sniff blood in the water, that kind of stuff), so if you've got anything you don't really want to deal with, or if you just don't want to deal with her or me, just reply here. Comments are screened and I generally keep them private.
Additional Notes: Nope
