--CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET--

BASIC DEMOGRAPHICS

Name:
Elizabeth Auvray
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Languages: English, French


APPEARANCE

Height:
Almost 5’1
Weight: Light
Build: Moderately thin, small breasted and curvy at the waist
Skin: White and soft
Hair: Very dark and very, very long, reaching up to below the waist. It’s also very limp and soft.
Eyes: Very penetrating and blue.
Other traits: Elizabeth is not conventionally beautiful, being smaller, more flat chested and looking more delicate than your average young adult. She rather looks a bit unnatural. However, there’s a fascinating beauty in the contrast of her blue eyes, pitch black hair and dark, red lips.
Clothes: Naked. Will be trying to acquire or create clothing if she feels she needs it.


PHYSICALITY

Demeanor:
Elizabeth carries herself with grace and elegance. She tends to be very flirtatious at times in both movement and attitude: While she’s not really sexually deviant, she feels comfortable enough with her sexuality and finds it amusing to play with that.
Speech patterns: Elizabeth is very well spoken and talks with eloquence, so much so that she may sound a bit snobbish at times, since she doesn’t like to ‘dumb down’ her discourse to fit the audience.


PERSONALITY

Overview:
An intelligent and apt seer, more closely connected to the arcane than to people, that follows a mission as an agent of Fate to make sure that it’s preserved. She’s destined to do something that would harm Fate, but is trying to find out what it is while hiding from her family with her guardian and friend Klaus.
Passions: Baroque art, divination and magic in general.
Fears: Elizabeth fears the unpredictable, and what’s out of her reach. She’s also afraid of the destruction of Fate. Elizabeth also fears eventually being found, especially by her father.
She also fears the chance of something happening to Klaus, but trusts him to take care of himself.
Strengths: Confident, intelligent, quick learner, determined, classy and adapts easily to new situations and experiences.
Weaknesses: For all of her confidence, Elizabeth is not all that good with people. Intellectual equals find her fascinating, but otherwise she has the bad customs of talking down to people and making jokes at their expense. Those are habits that she can be capable of breaking, but only with a conscious effort. She’s also perhaps too spontaneous for her own good.
Elizabeth is also physically insignificant, possessing no more strength than your average 15 year old teenage girl. She’s also of weak constitution and prone to illness.
Quirks: -The simplest way of divination Elizabeth relies on is finding relevant patterns in seemingly random figures and events. When she does this in front of other people, she can spend sometimes up to a minute just staring ahead without explanation.
-Elizabeth is not terribly focused when it comes to anything other than her mission as an agent of Fate. When someone or something picks her interest she tends to follow it.
-She doesn’t lie. Not really because she finds no uses for it, but because she’s a really terrible liar. She does selectively hide truths, though.
-Because she’s prone to disease, Elizabeth watches her habits very carefully. She refuses to leave her home when the climate is cold, asks Fate for potential dangers she could be facing and her diet is very strict. With that said, every so often she likes to indulge herself with a single glass of fine wine, which she drinks slowly and with pleasure.
-Often calls people ‘darling’ or ‘dearest.’ This includes people that she doesn’t hold all that dear.
-She’s a virgin, but of bisexual orientation.


HISTORY

Dream:
Elizabeth’s dreams are... Confusing, at least. They look like an very complex maze of mirrors. Touching those mirrors will show events from Elizabeth’s past, present and future, varying in significance, from her death to the first time she tasted shrimp. Touching one of them by accident is very easy.
The last time Elizabeth touched one of the mirrors, though, a nightmare manifestation of her father came out of it. Since then she has been very careful to not touch them. Elizabeth is certain that her nightmare still roams the maze, so she’s been trying to avoid dreaming at all.
Homeworld: Present day. Parallel Earth where magic exists, as well as some creatures that, in our Earth, would be considered mythical. Around one in every six hundred people know about it, and about half of those have done magic or suffered magical effects at any point of their lives.
Family/Friends: Elizabeth belongs to a family with a long tradition of divination. Regrettably enough, a couple of years ago a prophecy stated that Elizabeth was going to play a big part in the disruption of destiny. Luckily, though, Elizabeth was the first one to have that prophesy, and went into hiding, along with her guardian, Klaus, in the basement of a mansion. Klaus is really her only ‘family’.
History: Elizabeth comes from a family with a long, proud tradition of divination, of which she’s the youngest seer. The Auvray family has bred agents of Fate for centuries, and Elizabeth is no exception. She’s tremendously passionate about the preservation of Fate.
The Auvray family has a pact of mutual protection with the Klüchlers: A German family of werewolves, several times objective of hunters of the supernatural. The Auvrays provide them with the knowledge of where and when they can seek safety and, in exchange, the Küchlers assign one of their own to each seer when they are very young to become their loyal friend and guardian. Klaus, Elizabeth’s guardian, was assigned to her when they were both eight years old, and they have developed a bond stronger than most brothers could imagine.
They have both dedicated their lives to their roles, Elizabeth as an agent of Fate and Klaus as a guardian and they are both really good at their tasks.
When Elizabeth was a teenager she had a strange vision that told her that the chance of her and Klaus loving each other would create a great disturbance in the paths of Fate. It was painfully obvious to Elizabeth that Klaus’ devotion towards her went beyond his assigned role as a guardian, but she makes conscious efforts to not love him back.
When Elizabeth reached the age of nineteen, she had a far more dangerous premonition: She would, indeed, cause a great disturbance in the paths of Fate. Whether or not both prophecies are related, she doesn’t know. But she did know that other Agents would figure it out eventually and would probably attempt to kill her, and escaped from her native France to one of the most unlikely places for a seer to go: The loud, busy and distracting city of New York. There she sold very expensive jewelry from her family to afford an underground sanctuary which she protected from visions and, in the rare occasions when she or Klaus leave it, she applies several hours’ long rituals that protect them. Between the underground, occult circles of New York, it is known that there’s a very powerful seer that hides from the surface. She’s expensive and difficult to find, but her accuracy is uncanny amongst her peers.
Elizabeth knows perfectly well that, if they looked for her well enough, the Auvray family could find her. This specially applies to her father, a seer far more powerful than herself and obviously able to break past her defenses, if he didn’t do so already. She awaits with fear the day in which he, or any other Auvray, goes to dispose of both her and Klaus.
Sleeping: Elizabeth is sleeping naked on a small pile of white silk, surrounded by several crystals meant to purify the room and protect Elizabeth from potential threats of occult nature, and incense to keep her calm and collected through the dreams.

SKILLS

Primary Skills:
Knowledgeable of almost everything in matters occult and arcane. While her practical skills are mostly oriented towards divination, Elizabeth can identify and understand most forms of magic. Elizabeth is excellent at following procedures and ceremonies of any kind, which makes her both an outstanding cook and good at remembering and following complex instructions. She’s not particularly extraordinary in technical matters, but she can play very touching music with a violin.
She also knows almost everything about Baroque history, art, music and architecture. She enjoys studying the period a lot.
Combat: She’s not combat capable. She will want to trick or talk the opponent-to-be into not wanting to fight her. This applies in the Real, of course. The Dreams and the Insomnium can possibly provide her with interesting tactics.
Weapons/Gear: Nothing but her vast imagination.
Unusual Abilities: Divination: She knows several ways of seeing future, present and past, thanks to her strong connection to Fate. These vary in complexity and efficiency from detecting a pattern that allows her to get the answer to answer a simple yes/no question, to hours-lasting rituals that allow her to understand the whole history and mindset from a target.
She can also perform other forms of ceremonial magic, like protection or spiritual communication. This magic is weak, though, and doesn’t work at the same level of her divination.

Very interesting character bio. I actually got pretty excited at the prospect of her fleeing from France to New York. I don't know if you had a set time piece for this, but I see this being set around the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century (that was the visual style I read the reference in). Everyone loves a good chase story, and I am really looking forward to reading some when you have it ready. Keep me in the loop!

Actually, I have you on here, so I will check up on you every so often.

^^ Thanks! Much appreciated. This is actually modern era. Elizabeth just comes from a long tradition of seers and... Well, they come from a Renaissance school of magic.

I try to give this character such a feel, really. That's why it's all of the Baroque themes and so.

I actually dunno how this will proceed in a long term. As I said, it's a collaborative project. So far I have planned the beginning and plotted some things with a fellow writer, but I bet it'll be fun. The Elizabeth/Klaus combo are amongst my favourite characters. I'm sure it won't all appear on deviantART, but I'll let you know what happens to the guys. Cheers!

Ha! She sounds epic, I can't wait XD I get the feeling she'll give my character hell.

Is this your first RP or just first forum RP?
