Edited 2/28/2012 Edits in Green
Name: Aeronwen Iudhael
Nicknames: Aero, Onwen
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Faction: Demon
Race: Nightmare

Natural Ability: She has the ability to enter the dreams of those around her. She can not interact directly with the dreamer but instead changes the components of the dream itself. She is unseen when she is in the dream and unable to be noticed by the victim.


Personality:
Aeronwen is an odd sort of student preferring to stay away from most as she has no control over her ability to enter dreams as of yet and has had far to many bad experiences so far with entering other people's dream's with out wanting to herself at the time. She prefers to stay away from others and glares at most who try to get close to her. She prefers not having any sort of friend or ally preferring to stay on her own.

She hates the fact that if someone falls asleep near her there is a possibility that she could get sucked into that person's dream with no warning of her own and generally can not escape that person's dream until they wake up. While this doesn't happen often it has happened once or twice in the past and can be incredibly annoying if she was in the middle of something. If she enters a person's dream willingly she can manipulate it and exit whenever she want's and is know to do this to get information on people as well as to get revenge on someone she believes deserves it. No matter how week or insignificant she may seam you never know what she could do to you as she is very volatile when set off, having a fiery temper.

If you actually try to talk to Aeronwen you will find she is generally sweet to talk to, up until the point she decides you are not worth her time. At that point she tends to do what ever she can think of in order to get away from the one speaking to her. This generally only takes around ten to fifteen minutes of conversation. She knows that this is considered rude not that she really cares.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
She wants to be able to control her ability's and learn to use fear more skillfully than she generally does at them moment. Her ability's affect her far to easily for her not to learn how to use them correctly. Or as she put's it, “I need to be able to control my ability's if not then I'm useless. And I'm useless I have no reason to be here at all. Someone would have to pay for bringing me into the world but seeing as I have no parent's that makes it kind of hard to do that.”

She really want's to control her ability though she thinks that this might just be impossible to her. She know's that her thought is a lie somewhere deep with in her and until she learns that, she won't be able to overcome the wall that is between her and her abilities. with every thought she has that chips away at the wall she has a chance to get better though she is also capable of pushing herself backwards again. She hopes that maybe Amityville Academy will be able to help her get over this block, as she has no idea that all it would take is believing in herself.

FEAR Ability: She uses her ability yo enter people's dreams to cause daydreams that potentially will cause the target to hit things other than what they are aming for either themselves or even their own allies. (This would most likely end up being a Headlight's or The Mind type of Fear Attack)


Physical Description: 
Eye Colour:  Ice blue
Hair Colour/Style:  she has incredibly long hair the style and color of which is colorist choice though I would Like to see Green and black incorporated into it somehow.
Skin Colour: Pale Peach
Clothing Style/Colours: She wears a long treanch coat with slits in the back for her wings to go through. A striped shirt can be seen underneath, as well as a pleated plaid short skirt with fishnets underneath and buckled boot's that go up to her knee's. (ref image's: Boots- x , Treanch coat- x , Skirt- x , Shirt- x (without the bow)Thought the colors on all of the item's can be changed due to colorist interpretation.)
Extra: She has long raven black bird like wings.
References: None at the moment

She seems like an interesting character but for the purposes of the school setting I think she is much too powerful. These are supposed to be students who barely have enough FEAR in their first year to achieve their FEAR power successfully. Your character seemed very defined by her power.

Try to tone down her power a bit. The Halloween races powers work most effectively on humans and the students have never seen or been to the human world. It seems plausible that she has accidentally been sucked into a dream or two of fellow Halloween denizens, but to be sucked into ANYONES dream who is near her seems to be a bit much. Also influencing others minds should be reserved for a natural ability and not something that just happens all the time. She shouldn't be placing people in daydreams every time she speaks with them. This would be an invasion of that player's control. Remember that a character can only have one special ability though... dreamwalking seems to be that ability.

I am also not sure that she should be a ghost. Perhaps a monster? Most ghosts would not have wings and have more 'ghost' characteristics... like floating or passing through objects. Please see the species section of guide. By choosing a different special ability, she is sacrificing those other special abilites.

Her age also seems an issue. 200 is a bit old to just become a student now, isn't it?

Hello! Here's some suggestions for you~

- On her natural ability: Shapeshifting into anything is a very overpowered natural ability, and there is no way a first year would have that level of power. I would suggest that instead of shapeshifting, you give her a natural ability related to illusion. Being able to create illusions of a changing appearance would be appropriate for a nightmare, moreso (to me, anyway) than literal shapeshifting. And if you really, really want shapeshifting, then I'd pick one form (the pegasus, maybe).

- On her faction: I agree that ghost is probably not the right faction for her - monster or demon would be much more appropriate. I would go with Demon for a nightmare, personally, but monster would probably be okay as well.

- On her ability to enter dreams: This would be her natural ability - you need to pick one natural ability to start with! Either entering dreams or shapeshifting (or illusion, or whatever). You can gain more abilities as your character grows, but when you start out you get one!

I would also recommend that you take a look at the Baku character Xiu - she has a natural ability related to dreams. See all the restrictions on that ability? If you use entering dreams as your natural ability, you will need to put similar restrictions on it for the ability to be approved. As it is right now, it is way, way too powerful.

- Forcing someone into a daydream would also be a power. Pick one natural ability and roll with it! (Though forcing anyone into anything is inappropriate as a natural ability, so...)


Effectively, I see a whole lot of power being deployed, way too much for a Y1 character. I would suggest that you narrow down her natural ability to something appropriate to a Y1 character, make sure she only has one natural ability, and build from there!

thank you for the Critique I fixed the things you were speaking of and rethought out her natural ability it's alot less overpowering now or at least I hope it is.
