About the Character
Name: Sylvia Geraldine
Age: 15
Anime/Game/OC: OC
Personality:
Sylvia is in essence still a child. She is happy and sweet usually and will let her curiosity and naïve wonder guide her through the world if there is no one to block her way. If there is someone who wishes to stand in her way, like her mother, she tends to throw a temper tantrum. Though she is generally sweet and maybe even air headed, she will often come out with surprising pieces of wisdom/knowledge. Her role as ESP Core has stunted her social development a bit and she mistakes kindnesses for more and will mistake kind critique as harshness/dislike. It’s just how Sylvia is.
History:
Sylvia’s life began in the capital city where her mother and father had moved to in order to find work and keep themselves alive. However, Sylvia has no memories of her father. Her memories begin in the lab and instead of fond memories of learning to walk and talk, Sylvia’s memories are filled with the pain of her expanding potential and the dark silence of forced sleep. Also two voices, one male and one female. The female being her mother…
The male was a man named Voldeworth. A man that Sylvia could never bring herself to like even though essentially he was her father figure. One day, when Sylvia was maybe 5 years old… he disappeared. She never saw him again. It was never explained where he went or why he never came back, but it didn’t bother her too much. She still had mommy. Mommy loved her. She said so. She even brought 11 other children to the lab so that Sylvia wouldn’t be alone. All of them were ESP cores, just like Sylvia. She called them all “Big Brother,” “Big Sister,” “Little Brother,” and there was one “Little Sister.” They all stayed together in the lab and were all sleeping together, their Generators arranged in a circle with Sylvia‘s.
Years of being only half conscious and tied down to a lab table with wires running through her body was all that she knew of childhood, really. Until the day that she finally learned to dream.
Dreaming was what mother called the projection Sylvia could make of her self, her consciousness really, into the world outside her body which lay trapped as the ESP Core to the ESP powered Generator. Mother used her body’s energy to power water cleaning processes and grow fresh, good food; as a light source and even to remove pollution from the air… while Sylvia projected herself into the city and observed people there.
Finally she learned to not only control her monitors and the equipment she was hooked up to in the lab, but also to be able to talk and associate with beings outside who might not know who she was. She started talking to people her mother didn’t approve of. One of them, a young boy, was the son of a very prominent person in Quake, who wanted to dismantle Divinity, which was gaining popularity at the time. It had lots of backers. Even the backers of Quake were considering switching business tactics.
But Sylvia didn’t know any of this. She just knew when she looked into the eyes of the boy, she found someone who she knew she wanted to be around. It wasn’t what you would call love… but it was very close. Sylvia felt she could connect with this boy. That they understood each other. He even talked about trying to rescue her from the lab.
They played together for quite a while before Sylvia told him where the lab was so he could come and see her without her being pulled back by sedation. It was the last time she saw him. The next thing she knew, there were explosions going off all over the lab and people running, screaming and panicking. Her mother hurried to disconnect her from the machines but she still couldn‘t move. For a while, everything went dark.
Then when she woke up… she was in a different lab. She no longer had her adoptive siblings. She was all alone. She learned that she was now in the basement of a school.
…What was a school..?
Role:
Student: Freshman
Weaknesses:
Being told what to do
Being made fun of
Typically has a problem with Authority if she can’t get around them.
Is terribly naïve and childish.
Emotional and easy to manipulate
Has a temper
Strengths:
Intangibility
Curiousity/ability to figure things out quickly if she experiences them
Has seemingly no malice in her. Doesn’t hold grudges, Save the one against her mother, who is a repeat offender.
Seemingly wise at times but very surreal about her wisdom. (It’s like talking to Cheshire Cat or a religiously enlightened person)
Is easygoing
Weapons/Magic:
Sylvia has never learned to use weapons unless you count the manipulation of the devices she is directly linked to. Though she has threatened to blow up the generator, she doesn’t know how. But her mother assures her it is possible, but it would destroy her. (Actually in her full story it’s how she dies. She takes the entire lab with her because of a betrayal.)
Sylvia has been told the abilities she knows how to use are not “magic” but a physical manifestation of her ESP; bluntly, her soul/spirit/energy. As an ESP Core, she builds up a lot of it, but as it’s drained out every 4 hours like clockwork (so not to cause her pain/damage) she doesn’t have powerful abilities beyond projecting herself and manipulating the machines. However, she is able to create a few little defensive techniques.
Holy White Force Field - A shield that Sylvia was able to manifest that will repel some magic and decrease potency of spirit/magic attacks. It manifests as a brilliant white dome of light. It only lasts for a few moments. Less if the attack is very strong as it depletes energy to repel the attack. The dome itself is a semi circle around Sylvia in one direction and can sheild her projected form which is part of her soul but not much else. Someone would have to be directly behind her to be sheilded. She can't hold the sheild up like a force feild. It's only temporary; ideally used to make a window so she can escape.
Righteous Blaze - A ghostly white ball of flame that Sylvia has learned to summon when truly pissed off. She’s learned to manipulate it into going forth in a direction, but beyond that she can’t control what it does. She’s set important lab papers on fire doing this and has attempted to keep herself in control since. She doesn’t want to kill her mother.
Shared Heartbeat - a healing spell where Sylvia shares her built up energy with a person to heal wounds. It doesn’t heal infections of course and it won’t bring back people from the dead. However, this process is very intimate and for a moment the person involved is synced with Sylvia perfectly as if they were one. It’s not something she is comfortable doing unless it is important for this reason.
How did you come to be at the academy?:
Fleeing from people who wanted to dismantle her lab and her equipment, including her precious memory logs, Cecilia plans to set up a laboratory in the school to continue her work in secret with an obvious cover.
Custom Title:
Little Girl Goddess
RP Sample:
Sylvia floated over her body in a fetal position almost. She’d been locked away in her body without even the machines for a while… it had been scary. She never wanted to experience that again.
She didn’t like being lonely… didn’t like being alone in the dark… not even knowing when she could come out. But she couldn’t let mother know. Mother wanted her to be a Goddess. She had to act like it. But she was still a little girl…
What did a goddess act like anyway?
And even more pressing… this school mother was talking about… Talking to the men upstairs. The men who’s voices she’d heard when she first arrived here. What was a school? She could feel lots of energy nearby. Was this another Divinity Lab?
Sylvia uncurled as she heard the door unlocking and her mother coming in. Her wide, blue eyes stared over at her as she put her books and charts over on a newly painted desk and sat in the newly upholstered chair with her hands steepled before her mouth.
“…Mother?” Sylvia called, trying to get her attention. “…did they say ok?”
Cecilia’s steely eyes flashed over at Sylvia’s ghostly form. “…Sylvia…” she muttered with a grave tone.
Sylvia tilted her head. “…no?”
“…You are under some very strict rules while you’re attending…”
Sylvia’s heart leapt with joy. Not only would she be able to leave the lab… she’d be doing it WITH PERMISSION! “Oh thank you! Thank you thank you!”
“Not so fast.” Cecilia put her hand on the desktop and tapped it almost angrily. “The conditions for this are very strict. You will not leave the walls of the building above us. That means no going outside. No going to the dorms. And of course you will report to the lab during mealtimes despite what other students do. And there will be no talk of field trips into the city, beaches or anything like that.”
“…Yes mother.” Sylvia said because she knew it was what her mother wanted to hear while inside she was imagining midnight excursions to other places.
“And what’s more, if you breathe one word about Project Divinity to ANYONE on this campus or off, I will pull the plug on your enrollment so fast you’ll wonder where the sedative came from, understand?”
Well, Sylvia mused, that one was obvious. Mother was VERY protective of Project Divinity… but then it was Sylvia she was protecting… wasn’t it?
Sylvia nodded obediently. “Yes mother. I won’t. I promise.”
Cecilia nodded. “…alright. I’m going to download your texts into the computer tonight. Study them as best you can. I expect your average to be excellence in it’s purest form to show Divinity’s quality. Also, I’ve hooked you directly into the printer to complete homework assignments and such.”
Sylvia nodded before flying around the room with an estatic yelp and playing dance music and lots of flashing lights on her monitor.
“Thank you, Mother!’
Cecilia smiled as she looked down at the papers before her. This would be interesting indeed. The proof that not only were her theories correct about the potential of ESP Cores… but also their superiority…
Their divinity.
Sylvia knew this was what her mother was thinking about because she'd learned that much about her mother.
She began to get nervous... did mother tell those people a Goddess was coming? ...was Sylvia a goddess? ...
She felt like a little girl...
