Character information
Name: Siobhan Aitken
Age: 23
Date of Birth: September 1st 1992
Canon: Original
Species: Witch / Meta Human
Role: She has a really big knack for crafting/finding magical items so I’d say that would be her role in her faction, making things or tracking them down. It would probably be how she made a meager living too, selling amulets and such. She’d be a good fit for Circle Daybreak.
Rank: 1-2
Background: She was born in Scotland as the youngest of six children. Her parents had already separated at the time and she was the result of some sex with your ex.
Her father is a meta human, a rather powerful empath/telepath who breeds horses out on the countryside. He prefers animals to humans most of the time and likes it best when he can live in relative isolation.
Her mother is a skilled witch and a restless soul who often took Siobhan and at least some of the brothers out for trips. She is the leader of a coven in Edinburgh.
Out of all the children, Siobhan is the only one who ended up inheriting a lot of their father’s empathic abilities, the rest of them only having slight traces of it, a heightened ability to understand what other people are thinking and feeling.
Siobhan never did particularly well in school, struggling in most subjects because she couldn’t seem to focus much on what was being taught, her empathy too overwhelming and distracting, and because of her perceived strangeness she was quite viciously bullied.
Her father was too strong an empath to deal particularly well with people at all, he felt too much all the time and so became withdrawn and seemingly cold. It was how he chose to deal with the pressures put on him by his ability.
Her mother was the sort of person that wanted her children to be a reflection of herself, and Siobhan in particular since she was a girl. Siobhan on the other hand took after her father much more in many ways and so was often a source of frustration and disappointment to her mother, something that Siobhan was only too aware of because of her empathic abilities.
Her brothers were all a lot older than her and most of them were no longer living at home when she grew up, so she never developed particularly close relationships with them, and to this day she does not feel that she knows them very well. Now that she has settled down in London, she plans on trying to change that eventually.
When she was eighteen she left her home and started traveling, a habit she'd picked up from her mother, and at this point she has been to quite a few places and countries doing this and that, whatever she needed to do to get by, basically.
She has been homeless on and off, but for the moment she is renting a little room somewhere that she is always on the verge of not being able to live in anymore.
Personality: Kind, loving and helpful with a tendency to be somewhat silly when there's time for it. She is extremely egalitarian and will extend the same kindness to all so long as they don't try to hurt her or anyone she cares about. It really doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done, Siobhan will love you and if you need a hug she is giving it to you. Even people she should consider her enemies will get nothing but kindness from her unless she has to defend herself or someone else from them.
Her father's choice to cut himself off from the world had a very profound effect on Siobhan in that she became extremely determined to never do the same. The way she has chosen to deal with her ability is instead to be open to it, and to love the world and all the things that live in it. It is oftentimes a painful method, but she prefers that pain to ever hurting anyone the way her father (perhaps without meaning to) hurt her.
She has been very lonely for a large part of her life, and so she is perhaps a little too keen to make sure that no one else has to be. When she senses that someone is sad she simply has to take action, whether it is wanted or not, and sometimes whether or not it is safe.
She is very independent, in a way, and especially gets her hackles up if anyone tries to claim that she belongs to any deity. She loves movies and comic books, and enjoys listening to audio books. She'd love reading those books too if she wasn't pretty terrible at both reading and writing. Though it isn't exactly a personality trait, you really never ever want to hear her sing. It's bloody awful. She does have a great love of music though.
Her own artiatic talents lie in drawing, sculpturing, crafting. If she can use her hands to do it, chances are she'll be good at it.
She can come off as childish sometimes, and she really doesn’t mind that. She will take any opportunity to act like a big kid because life is too short to not have fun while you’re living.
She has a bad habit of talking to people about their feelings, or reacting on them, without getting proper confirmation that this is something that is desirable. She will also initiate physical contact sometimes without really thinking it over, having a bit of a boundary problem. When you can feel what’s going on inside someone the personal space bubble can get a bit hard to see, at least for Siobhan, and so sometimes people get hugs or she will take their hand even though she has never met them before.
She isn’t always the best at detecting danger, wandering into situations she shouldn’t a lot, most of the time because she thinks someone needs her help.
She is very clear on the difference between good and evil, but she is also extremely forgiving and will always give people chances to change their ways or redeem themselves. Even decidedly evil people or creatures get her unconditional love because she is of the opinion that everyone needs it.
She is the sort of person that will always get back up no matter how many times she is knocked down. She can only be bent, never broken.
She does not fear poverty. She isn't particularly materialistic and under most conditions would probably prefer living out in the wild over city life. She is more afraid of causing pain or not being able to help people who need it.
Sometimes she has thought about what it would be like to not have her powers of course, but for the most part she likes how it makes her feel connected to the world, the awareness of how everything is connected.
She is less fond of her extremely speedy metabolism, since she needs to eat a lot more than most people just to not turn into a skeleton, something that does cause her to worry in terms of her often precarious money situation. She is always very skinny no matter what she does, and it is sometimes a difficult balance to stay healthy.
Usually she won't really show that she is worried or sad, not wanting to cause people pain. Partly for their sake and partly for her own, since it causes her very real discomfort to feel it. While usually very outgoing and social, she tends to isolate herself when she's not feeling well.
Powers & Possessions: Siobhan's empathic ability is more like a sixth sense than it is a skill that she can use at will. She is always more or less aware of what people around her are feeling, though to reduce the risk of godmodding it is also something that fluctuates so if people don't want her to be able to get a read on their character that is fine and I'll simply go with her not getting much/anything from them.
This ability can at times let her sense when there is a ghost around, if she can pick up emotional readings from them, though she can't communicate with them unless she casts a spell.
She can also get readings from animals, to a degree, it is a bit similar to the familiarity spell in that sense.
Negative feelings make her physically uncomfortable, often causing her headaches.
When it comes to magic, Siobhan is at her best when she can do concrete things that preferably allows her to make use of her hands, grounding her power with physical objects. She is at her worst with things that require intense focus, that usually takes her longer to learn and she has a hard time performing spells that requires her to maintain focus for a long time.
Basic spells that she would know:
Pathfinder
Witch's amulet (as in, she knows how to make them)
Location spells
Messenger spell
Charms
Cloaking spells
Fire
Ice
Fog
Light
Levitation
Elemental shaping
Protection spells
Mending injuries
Making the Camomile potion
Spells that (as I understand things) need requests:
Communing with ghost, since her empathic power makes her able to sense ghosts it makes sense to me that she would have tried to learn how to talk to them, so that she might be able to possibly help them.
Wand/Staff - I realise that she would probably be too low level at the moment, but just in case I think it would be pretty great if she could make wands for people.
St. Peter's Cross - Again a high level spell and I totally understand if she isn't allowed to know how to do, just putting my wishes in according to what would fit the character.
