CHARACTER
↠ Name: Airy Miller
↠ Canon: Original Character
↠ Journal: ImaginationsWoes
↠ Canon Point: After arriving in NY.
↠ Reserve: http://sinfulmods.dreamwidth.org/2145.html?thread=288097#cmt288097
↠ Age: 19: Birthday September 22nd.
↠ Appearance:
Airy is slender, slightly muscular and stands at 5' 5". Her basic appearances follow the american average weighing at 135 lbs. Her skin is fair and she gets sunburn easily. She doesn't tan but gets freckles.
Airy has blue eyes and dark chestnut brown hair. Her hair falls four inches pass her shoulders, curling in waves around her cherubic cheeks. She has her ears pierced with two holes in each ear but only ever wears cubic studs. The only jewelry she wears is a necklace that she’d gotten from her mother. Airy’s clothing is fairly common and includes a lot of tanks with button down over shirts. She doesn't wear dresses often but she does enjoy wearing skirts in the summer. Airy gives off the attitude of someone who wants to just blend into the crowd and is at times a little mousey. There is something about her that makes her stand out but it’s hard to tell what it is since Airy tries to hide it. She usually smells like vanilla and coffee due to her choice in soap. She doesn’t wear a lot of perfumes or anything that’s to obtrusive.
↠ Reference/History:
Airy's world is very much like the real world, set in the year 2016. She grew up having a normal life in the small town of Island Falls Maine. The population of which is just over 2,000 people. She never wanted very much: going to school, hanging out with her friends and eventually she had her eyes set on college. Her mother worked from home as a software engineer who was also known as being the energetic craft mom and a swing dance teacher on weekends. Her father worked at the local hardware store and loved sports and beer. Her younger brother was a nightmare, as younger brothers ought to be. He was into comics, specifically Green Lantern and Justice League, and trying to be on the high school football team now that it was the end of his freshman year.
Airy's best friend since childhood was her neighbor Mark. They grew up together and spent a lot of their childhood in each other’s company. Her other best friend is Sara who Airy met her freshman year of high school. They got close after Sara and Mark started to date. Everything was relatively normal. After high school Airy took a year off before college; she had applications written up and sent out to a few key universities but she wasn't in a rush. She had a plan and she’d take her time but she was going to stick to it.
Airy's powers first began to develop after she hit puberty; 14. Her desire to be normal dwarfed their effects making them harder to notice until she was older; 16. Her mother noticed around this time as did her best friend Mark however, any mention of something weird, Airy would deny. Most of her accidents were so fleeting that those who saw them assumed that it was all in their head or the ghost out of the corner of your eyes.
She was 19 when the accident that convinced her to leave home.
An accident, in which she severally hurt her best friend Mark, made her come to the conclusion that she was too dangerous. She ran away from home. Airy convinced herself that it'd be better if everyone forgot her and without knowing it she made the little town of Island Falls Maine forget that she ever existed. This made those living in the town unable to perceive pictures of Airy as well as things that were hers; such as her bed room door would appear as a wall to anyone looking at it. The only person this didn’t affect was a boy from her high school, Darren, who was eventually put under psychiatric study due to Airy’s carelessness.
She ended up in New York City about a month later where she met a vampire in hiding named Antonio. Interested about her powers and her lack of control he offered to help her however things took a downward turn as the world of the Hidden slowly learn of Airy's and subsequently Antonio’s existence.
The society of the Hidden works in tandem to the normal world. This is a world with monsters, vampires, werewolves and magic. It is a closely guarded secret that Airy was thrust into. She doesn't know very much about it due to her canon point however each race has its own background and story. Airy was drawn into this world due to her own powers earning her the title Creator. More about the races of the Hidden can be found here: http://cycleofinfo.dreamwidth.org/2141.html
↠ Personality:
Airy is enthusiastic and interested in many different things. She loves writing and seeing the world through her own personal window. She loves people and learning but more than anything in the world, she has always wanted to be normal. She saw people, mostly through high school, who want to be weird or claimed to be different but it wasn’t a sentiment that she understood. She envied those who could blend into the crowd or go unnoticed. This is one of the driving desires in Airy's life, it is also the reason it took so long for her powers to be noticed. Airy is very selectable to her abilities and the power of self-delusion which has stunted her own emotional growth.
She loves small talk, specifically talking about the weather. She can talk in depth about weather patterns and atmospheric data. It's something that everyone has in common which was why she uses it as a topic of conversation among those she just met. She's very personable, having grown up in a town where everyone knows everyone, and she doesn't understand not knowing your neighbors. Airy received a culture shock after arriving in New York when she found out that Antonio, and his roommate Nathan, didn’t know the person they’ve lived next door to for the last 3 years.
Airy also loves food; cherry coke, fun dip and breakfast are some of her favorites. She is very passionate about food, not cooking as much as eating. It’s something else that people generally have in common making it an easy topic for Airy to default to. She ran into difficulty after meeting Antonio but even then they would talk about drinks and other things that Antonio liked. Airy could be very stubborn when she wanted to be.
Most of her hobbies involve being outside like cloud watching and sports. She likes reading which she also usually does outside. She likes feeling connected with the world around her which she later learns is in her blood.
Airy is not good at everything, like drawing, math and science’s, but she isn't afraid of failing or trying. She's bad at paying attention to things around her and she can't tell if people are lying. Airy has the tendency to trust people, even when she really shouldn’t. She likes to give others the benefit of the doubt which was something that her mother had taught her when she was very young. She tries hard at everything she does and even if she has good intentions, her efforts sometimes backfire horribly.
One of Airy’s greatest abilities but also one of her most detrimental is that she’s very empathetic towards others. Airy also feels everything with all of her heart which helps her understand others but also hurts her. She’ll reach out in the name of helping someone and accidentally hurt those she cares the most for. Even if she can see something she can’t always understand it having no basis of comparison herself. She’s sheltered in a lot of things she knows and has only begun to learn about the gray areas in life.
She'll always put others before herself even if that leads to more pain. She can't always see things as they are and she's very dense, taking a very blunt person to sit her down and explain it to her. She'll make the same mistake over and over believing in something that might not be true. It takes a long time for Airy to finally learn a lesson and she ends up feeling guilt or regret over her decisions.
Airy tries to be polite and honest with people but bad news will make her feel awkward, unsure and at times second guess herself. Airy isn't a very good liar and often wears her emotions out for all to see. She has very traditional point of views but is slowly opening up to learning about the world around her.
One thing that Airy lacks is confidence and this leads to most of her problems. She doesn't think she's anything special. Most of the things she does, she does with an average skill level and is unable to improve further. She's scared of herself and constantly putting on a smile while fighting a war inside of herself. She denies part of herself and runs or hides behind others because she doesn't feel like she has the strength to stand on her own. If a friend is in trouble Airy will always stand back up and try again but there is a constant struggle of self-doubt gnawing at her.
Her self-doubt is her biggest flaw. She can become very wrapped up in herself, her problems and unable to think past them to see the scope of the world around her. This will often cause her to make mistakes and appear as selfish to those close to her. She has a big heart and cares about people but there are things she can’t see pass on her own.
Airy loves music and music is one of the few ways she's able to calm her thoughts and focus. She stays up to date with all music and has some songs on her phone which she almost always keeps with her. She learned to play the violin in elementary school, thanks to the public school systems, and kept up the instrument since. Practicing helps her relax and think. Music is another way that she feels that people are connected, even if it isn’t something they might have heard or experienced before.
Airy is very optimistic. She doesn't want to give up easily which is why she tries to think of new ways to approach a situation. She dislikes violence and goes through ridiculous lengths to avoid it. She isn't weak but she is unpracticed and she doesn't want to hurt others. She over compensates for the parts about herself that she can't face and doesn't like by being overly optimistic.
She's very cute and easily excitable though she doesn't see these qualities in herself. She's easily embarrassed and not good at accepting praise. There are a lot of situations that she hasn't encountered before and while she'll try to see them through another’s point of view she'll still turn red and feel a little uncomfortable or awkward while doing so.
↠ Powers / Abilities:
Airy's basic normal skills include: Good at following directions and filling in the blanks, Swing Dancing, Singing, Being Polite and Playing the violin. Most things she can do only to an average skill level. She has a natural talent with baking and cooking but she’s yet to learn anything beyond her mother’s cookbook.
Her powers are that of the Creator. It is very easy to sound broken but Airy has very specific limitations, most of which are set by her own mind. The powers of a creator are just as the title suggests. She's able to imagine something and create it in front of her. It is easy for her to do this by accident, which happens when her mind wanders, but very hard to do on purpose. She has to understand how something words and be able to imagine its parts. If she over complicates it then she might not be able to imagine it and if she oversimplifies it then what she imagines might not work as intended.
Everything she imagines follows the laws that are set in her thoughts. More often than not Airy limits her own imagination with what she knows and what she’s been taught. She cannot affect anything that's more than a small city radius without help and all of her creations will smell or appear off to those with heightened senses. Since Airy's brain can't understand the way a dog might smell an object, she can't fool a dog with an object that she's created. More about Creators are here: http://cycleofinfo.dreamwidth.org/1528.html
Due to Airy's personality she is most likely to affect the weather, create a panther at her side or imagine other animals. Sometimes its figures or inanimate objects that come to mind, it could be a freshly drying painting or a collection of spooky masks. She’ll imagine things in the shadows which makes her act jumpy or skittish after the sun goes down.
If she stops thinking about her creations they disappear. Her creations don't have a mind of their own unless she gives it one. There is only one creation that she's currently done this too and it was by accident. By imagining the same creature over and over again, she began to imprint parts of herself onto that creation. In specific this is a black panther she named Dagger. Any creation that she stops thinking about disappear which is usually when they run out of sight. Airy can hold the shape of any create for a mile or so but its very difficult without seeing the creation.
It’s important to note that while she can’t do a lot to other people, more so to those aware of what she is and what she can do. She is able to hurt herself with her own powers. She also the power to make herself disappear, alter her own memories and change things about her own biology. Depressive tendencies will be Airy’s down fall if she isn’t careful.
Another trait of the Creator is that she is poisonous to creatures that feed on life. For example: a vampire would be burned by her blood if they drink it, energy taken from her by a succubus or other creature will weaken them instead of strengthen them. Those who can feel magical energies will be able to note that Airy is different than normal but they won’t be able to figure out how without tests. Airy isn’t completely human. There is a mutation in her DNA that causes her to be the Creator; it is a genetic trait that is passed through bloodlines.
If more clarification is needed please let me know.
↠ Languages: English
↠ Inventory: Airy will have her backpack which has a few keepsakes from home, an uncharged cell phone, an extra pair of clothes, and a few small things like a lighter and basic items you'd find in a purse: tampons, wallet, keys, a fantasy novel, small pad of paper, a pencil, a notebook. This is the backpack she had when she ran away from home.
↠ Reason for Playing This Character:
My favorite part about Airy is that she's from a perfect little world and she's slowly learning about the real world. She grew up with a happy childhood and a sunny disposition. The real world is darker and more complicated. Airy has the chance to learn about it and the methods that people approach the world. I think that City of Sin will not only bring forth interesting development but something new that she might not otherwise experience. I want to see how she changes and develops after meeting those in the city, those who run the city and have to face the effects of the city. This game will be a sink or swim situation for her and either way, it’ll be interesting and fun to play out. Her general sunny disposition might also leave a positive mark in the lives of those who currently live in the city. I can’t wait to find out.
↠ What is Your Character's Sin?:
Airy’s sin is Envy. More than anything else in the world Airy was wants the one thing she can never have; she wants to be normal. This desire to be normal fuels her selfish acts. She ends up hiding her abilities and running away from her home. She presses her own ideas onto her hometown causing them to forget because she thinks its best. Airy gets wrapped up in herself and the depressing weight of her own situation often prevents her from seeing what’s right in front of her. This will cause her to make the same mistakes over and over again as she keeps trying to reach for something that she can’t have. She feels something similar to jealousy when facing other people but she takes that emotion and pulls it into herself, blaming herself and the world at large instead of any one particular person. It takes pushing her to the edge to make her confront any of these feelings as they are so rooted into her personality.
SAMPLES
↠ First Person: Audio
[The voice that comes through the phone is female, nervous and trying to remain calm.]
I know that I shouldn't just accept stranger’s invitations to sleep in their apartments but how did I fall asleep in one place and wake up somewhere else? [There is a ten second pause.]
And where are my pants? Why do I have my backpack? Not that I'm not happy to have it... I mean thank you but I'd like my other things too. My IPod is dead... [Airy specifically remembers listening to her IPod before falling asleep the night before.] Am I dreaming?
[A soft thud echoes through the phone and it’s safe to assume that she’s dropped it.]
I'll stop talking now.
↠ Third Person:
It was the perfect dream: college, a white fence, a family, a dog.
Then that dream shattered. It was the night when her and her two best friends were playing a fear game at the high school. Everyone did it and they had already graduated, they couldn’t get in trouble. The memory of that night blurred with the sound of broken glass as Airy pushed the thoughts out of her mind.
There was no use thinking about it now.
Her foot falls were light as she made her way down the street. Every turn and every street light was new, greeting her with a discomforting amount of oddity. She kept her steps even, walking as if she knew exactly where she was going. She didn’t look back, she wanted to but she didn’t let herself. She had to be just like everyone else. She’d act as if she was walking up to the house coming up; its dark blue door calling her like a beacon. No, it was the house a little further down the street with its lawn gnomes and weird pink plastic flamingos that balanced on a metal pole in the yard. Then it was the house after that, the next neighborhood over, another street and then another state.
If Airy ran far enough maybe she’d be able to run from everything that was following her.
This was a new city, a place she’d never been before; in only a few steps buildings rose like mountains to either side of her. There were sirens echoing in the background as if it was a constant backdrop to the gray city. The streets were a mess and as much Airy tried not to think about it she knew that something was wrong. A chill traveled the length of her spine cueing her pace to quicken. An unfamiliar noise reached her ears but she didn’t look back nor did she stop.
Her grip tightened on her backpack before turning a corner and crashing into something hard. The smell of alcohol reached her nose as she began to back away. The man in front of her said something but she didn’t hear it. Her voice replied and it sounded panicked and unsure. “Nothing strange. I’m just walking home.” Another man had stepped behind her and Airy realized the noises she’d heard earlier had been him. She’d been followed this whole time.
“No, please stop.” Her fears began to rise and without thinking about it a low growl echoed from a nearby shadow. “No, no, no.” Airy took another small step back, away from the two men and the shadow. They ignored it, their grins widening as they stepped closer. “I’m just walking home.” She repeated hoping it would make them want to turn away but it was too late.
Airy didn’t see what came out of the shadows; it was a twisted nightmare figure that descended on the two men. She only heard one word uttered from their lips as their faces paled at the sight in front of them. Freak. Airy’s shoulders tense and she yelled. “I AM NOT.” Her words shook the creature and without stopping to see what happened next Airy turned and ran. Her feet skidded to a stop when she reached a crowded street. Bright lights made her blink and a few stares from those passing made her wish could just sink back into the shadows. She swallowed and then joined the crowded repeating the same few sentences back to herself.
I’m not a freak.

↠ Inventory: Airy will have her backpack which has a few keepsakes from home, an uncharged cell phone, an extra pair of clothes, and a few small things like a lighter and basic items you'd find in a purse: tampons, wallet, keys, a fantasy novel, small pad of paper, a pencil, a notebook. This is the backpack she had when she ran away from home.
↠ Reason for Playing This Character:
My favorite part about Airy is that she's from a perfect little world and she's slowly learning about the real world. She grew up with a happy childhood and a sunny disposition. The real world is darker and more complicated. Airy has the chance to learn about it and the methods that people approach the world. I think that City of Sin will not only bring forth interesting development but something new that she might not otherwise experience. I want to see how she changes and develops after meeting those in the city, those who run the city and have to face the effects of the city. This game will be a sink or swim situation for her and either way, it’ll be interesting and fun to play out. Her general sunny disposition might also leave a positive mark in the lives of those who currently live in the city. I can’t wait to find out.
↠ What is Your Character's Sin?:
Airy’s sin is Envy. More than anything else in the world Airy was wants the one thing she can never have; she wants to be normal. This desire to be normal fuels her selfish acts. She ends up hiding her abilities and running away from her home. She presses her own ideas onto her hometown causing them to forget because she thinks its best. Airy gets wrapped up in herself and the depressing weight of her own situation often prevents her from seeing what’s right in front of her. This will cause her to make the same mistakes over and over again as she keeps trying to reach for something that she can’t have. She feels something similar to jealousy when facing other people but she takes that emotion and pulls it into herself, blaming herself and the world at large instead of any one particular person. It takes pushing her to the edge to make her confront any of these feelings as they are so rooted into her personality.

↠ First Person: Audio
[The voice that comes through the phone is female, nervous and trying to remain calm.]
I know that I shouldn't just accept stranger’s invitations to sleep in their apartments but how did I fall asleep in one place and wake up somewhere else? [There is a ten second pause.]
And where are my pants? Why do I have my backpack? Not that I'm not happy to have it... I mean thank you but I'd like my other things too. My IPod is dead... [Airy specifically remembers listening to her IPod before falling asleep the night before.] Am I dreaming?
[A soft thud echoes through the phone and it’s safe to assume that she’s dropped it.]
I'll stop talking now.
↠ Third Person:
It was the perfect dream: college, a white fence, a family, a dog.
Then that dream shattered. It was the night when her and her two best friends were playing a fear game at the high school. Everyone did it and they had already graduated, they couldn’t get in trouble. The memory of that night blurred with the sound of broken glass as Airy pushed the thoughts out of her mind.
There was no use thinking about it now.
Her foot falls were light as she made her way down the street. Every turn and every street light was new, greeting her with a discomforting amount of oddity. She kept her steps even, walking as if she knew exactly where she was going. She didn’t look back, she wanted to but she didn’t let herself. She had to be just like everyone else. She’d act as if she was walking up to the house coming up; its dark blue door calling her like a beacon. No, it was the house a little further down the street with its lawn gnomes and weird pink plastic flamingos that balanced on a metal pole in the yard. Then it was the house after that, the next neighborhood over, another street and then another state.
If Airy ran far enough maybe she’d be able to run from everything that was following her.
This was a new city, a place she’d never been before; in only a few steps buildings rose like mountains to either side of her. There were sirens echoing in the background as if it was a constant backdrop to the gray city. The streets were a mess and as much Airy tried not to think about it she knew that something was wrong. A chill traveled the length of her spine cueing her pace to quicken. An unfamiliar noise reached her ears but she didn’t look back nor did she stop.
Her grip tightened on her backpack before turning a corner and crashing into something hard. The smell of alcohol reached her nose as she began to back away. The man in front of her said something but she didn’t hear it. Her voice replied and it sounded panicked and unsure. “Nothing strange. I’m just walking home.” Another man had stepped behind her and Airy realized the noises she’d heard earlier had been him. She’d been followed this whole time.
“No, please stop.” Her fears began to rise and without thinking about it a low growl echoed from a nearby shadow. “No, no, no.” Airy took another small step back, away from the two men and the shadow. They ignored it, their grins widening as they stepped closer. “I’m just walking home.” She repeated hoping it would make them want to turn away but it was too late.
Airy didn’t see what came out of the shadows; it was a twisted nightmare figure that descended on the two men. She only heard one word uttered from their lips as their faces paled at the sight in front of them. Freak. Airy’s shoulders tense and she yelled. “I AM NOT.” Her words shook the creature and without stopping to see what happened next Airy turned and ran. Her feet skidded to a stop when she reached a crowded street. Bright lights made her blink and a few stares from those passing made her wish could just sink back into the shadows. She swallowed and then joined the crowded repeating the same few sentences back to herself.
I’m not a freak.
