Category: Student
Class: High School
Grade: Remedial
Appearance Description:
- brown hair
- green eyes
- 5'10
- Normal build, slender
Personality Description:
- Sam personality is like autumn - he moves through emotions quickly, volatile - easy to laugh, easy to anger, yet holds no grudge. He is level-headed, has a dark sense of humor, slightly sarcastic, roguish. He is also responsible, honest and wise in years.
- He is also confident, proud, and somewhat judgmental. He tends to think things through before deciding.
Active Abilities: (See: Passive ability, Knowing, and also, Weaknesses as they affect the actives accordingly.)
- Ode to the Dying Blessing
Sam can use this blessing to bring back someone who's at death's door or who have died very recently - like hours ago, but no more than a day. He could also move somebody to death's door but not push them over generally.
That said, if the blessing is done between Samhain October 31/ November 1 when the veil between this world and the next is almost non-existent, Sam could push a soul/person over to the afterlife or retrieve a loved one who has died up to 48 hours before.
This blessing requires more than a simple offering and the worthiness of the candidate. It is the only blessing that requires a true sacrifice of some kind be offered in exchange for life or death.
** Important.
Because of the nature of this blessing, the person brought back from death's door is also forcing Fate's hand and therefore, it is not guaranteed that the individual will be whole, have a proper soul, be as they were before. Effectively, their soul may be damaged beyond repair and thus cause more pain/heartbreak than if they had stayed dead. It's never a good idea to bring back the dead.
- Transformation Blessing
As Samhain is the celebration of the autumnal and the coming winter season - it's a transformative time. Therefore, Sam can transform a person's appearance/ aspect completely. This is only an illusion though. And does not affect eye color nor voice. i.e. The person looks like someone else but their eye color does not change nor does their voice.
This illusion can last for up to 48 hours during the festival of Samhain. Normally though the transformation only lasts 24 hours.
As with all blessings, an offer must be made and only those deemed worthy will be considered.
- Luck Blessing
Sam can turn ill fortunes around, bring luck to those with bad luck and bring bad luck to those who prosper for the person wanting this blessing. He can make outcomes favourable or disfavourable.
This blessing will last for 24 hours generally, except between Samhain October 31 to Nov 1 (All Saint's Day), when the veil between this world and the next is the weakest, then it lasts 48 hours.
As with the others, an offer is needed along with Sam's consideration of worthiness.
Passive Abilities:
- Knowing
Sam can tell by looking at others if they are worthy, not worthy or have a possibility at worthiness.
(Worthiness is generally those of pure heart and intentions, selfless in nature, generous, kind and forgiving in nature. Unworthiness would be the opposite, a black soul, selfish in nature, intentionally cruel, hateful and unforgiving.)
He also knows the fate of an individual if they were to continue on the path they are on now. As this can change, he rarely prophetizes for any life mislead by him becomes a burden he must carry and make right somehow.
He can also tell if a human has any latent/untapped magic in them.
- Health and Life
Although Sam is mortal, the gods have bestowed health and long life on him. This means he is immune to most diseases and ages slower than a normal human. He may easily live for 200 years.
- Uncursable / Aura Negative
Sam cannot be cursed, nor do auras affect him.
- Spirit Connection
Sam can feel, see and communicate with the dead, spirits or ghosts.
Weaknesses:
As the year moves further away from autumn/winter his abilities blessing become increasingly weaker and uncertain. They are weakest at Beltane. And after this festival, his abilities start increasing again.
Common Magical Items: N/A
Biography:
- Sam is a twin.
- He was born on the Isle of Man. He lived as a relatively normal child until he turned 7. Then life became weird. The Knowing flared up in him along with the Spirit Connection. He started hearing and seeing the dead, spirits and knowing things about people that scared him.
This turned Sam into a very scared young boy, one who became increasingly angry and rebellious.
- Around this time, some druid monks appeared and offered to help Sam and his sister (who had also been mysteriously affected) get better and take control of their budding powers.
The druid monks were actually watchers looking for the reincarnations of the two gods. And had been patiently waiting for them to reappear.
Sam was taken far away from his home to a small village off the Irish coast where he lived among others druids learning who he was and what he could do.
- When he was 16, it was suggested by the elder druids that Sam be sent away eventually to live and study among those of his kind. He arrived on Manta Carlos a month after he turned 17.
Resources: What resources does your character have access to? Sam lives with roommates and receives a small stipend.
Additional Information: Is there anything else to take note of?
