OOC PREFERENCES:

•CONTACT METHOD: PMs are fine, but you can always find me on AIM or Plurk - I'm dragon8writer on both.

•THREAD-JACKING: Feel free!

•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Yes, yes, and yes. So long as you accept that Faith is going to be freaked.

•BACKTAGGING: Feel free. :) I hate to see a good thread dropped.

•AVOIDED TOPICS: Not that I can think of. If nothing else, it's good to test a character's limits. :)

 

IC CHARACTERISTICS:

•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Brown hair, brown eyes; you can smell her sweat, perhaps, but she doesn't go for perfumes as a rule.

 

She's got an athletic build to go with her natural slayer power, and works out often to maintain it.

 

Her ears are pierced - twice - as is her belly button, and she has a tribal tattoo on her right upper arm (actually a demon-mark used by a now dead vampire to track her.)

 

 

 

 

•DEMEANOR: She tends to act casual. She'll try to pretend nothing bothers her, that she isn't stressed out or scared. Push her too far and she'll either get in-your-face aggressive, or just plain run away - sometimes both, in that order.

 

On a normal day, though, you'll probably see her just hanging about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

•ABILITIES: Talents or physical strengths/powers:

 

Visible abilities: Enhanced strength, speed, agility, reflexes, resilience and healing.

 

 

 

At their best, Slayers are known to bend open prison cell bars, dodge bullets, and get hit by trucks only to get up and run off.

 

Their ability withstand injuries is somewhat limited to things where the force is spread out - punches and trucks phase them little, but a knife or arrow goes through Faith the same as anyone.

 

Less tangible (and often not mentioned): increased senses (honed with some practice), and the ability to sense nearby demons.

 

It is worth noting that Faith has had less practice then Buffy, and as such is not always going to be capable of the more advanced tricks.

 

Dreams - Slayers will occasionally have prophetic dreams (though Faith has never mentioned one of her own), and will often dream of past slayers, particularly their deaths. Some may also appear in each other's dreams - The First Slayer appeared to Buffy several times, as did Faith during her coma.

 

Hinted-at abilities: Slayers seem to have a natural ability to lead, with others automatically deferring to them. (If this is an ability, it seems strongest for those called naturally, rather than with the scythe - while the scythe-called slayers were able to get along naturally with one another, Buffy and Faith always felt withdrawn. This could just be a side effect of being "chosen" however, or simply confidence in their own powers.)

 

Slayers seem to grow in strength greatly whenever angry or upset.

 

Slayers seem to have a better immune system - rarely getting sick - and to require less sleep than the average human.

 

 

 

 

 

 

•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Medical information on your character that would be useful for the infirmary.

 

Faith can heal naturally from most injuries (if it isn't fatal by nature, it will most likely fix itself within a few hours or days.)

 

•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Subjects that your character might find offensive.

 

Buffy. Depending on her mood/the situation, talking about Buffy will often upset Faith due to their own mixture of friendship, rivalry, and hatred.

 

Alcoholics and prostitution are touchy, as is abuse, but bringing it up won't lose any points in and of iteslf.

 

IC PERMISSIONS:

•MENTAL: Yes, though Faith will fight back anything intrusive (if possible.)

•MIMICRY: Yes

•VIOLENCE: Yes.

•MAGIC: Yes.

•DEBATE: Yes.

•OTHER / NOTES: Faith likes to fight physically, even when using words - when she sees someone with a lot of anger to take out, she's been known to toss them a sword and duel them while discussing it.
