Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Still editing stuff ))


As you will read on about my characters, you will notice that they are odd. I chose to combine these two in one thread because they are so closely tied together.


Mini-BG

Laine, age 15, witnessed the shooting/mugging of her mother while outside of the downtown bank. When her mother fell to the ground, she saw a dark haired woman with a large "knife-looking thing" pull her mother's soul out of her body. The Angel of Death, as the dark-haired woman is referred to as, met eyes with the young Laine and was amazed that she was able to see her. Knowing that the girl could compromise her duties, she was forced to fuse with the girl's soul, thusly causing her to "black out" at impromptu moments.



Story excerpt

She stumbled through the dark hall of her NY apartment, sweating. "What's wrong with me??" she wondered, frantically. Her eyes struggled to focus as she tripped on a newly bought rug and fell through the door to her bedroom. "Why is this happening to me?!" was the last thing she said to herself before she collapsed on the floor.

"Laine...Laine...wake up!" a male voice invaded her sound sleep. "huh..?" She mumbled as she blinked her eyes open. "No sleeping in today! I have something special planned!" the man said excitedly. Laine sat up slowly as he walked out of the room and into a bathroom. "This isnt my apartment.." she said to herself, quietly. "..but that's my cat and those are my things by the door.." As if on cue, the cat jumped on the bed. Laine sat for a moment petting the cat before the man peeked his head through the bedroom door. "C'mon, get dressed! We've got to get moving!" he said, grinning, before receeding his head back through the crack of the door. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and pushed off gently onto the floor, confused. Not only did she not recognize where she was at, she had no idea who the man rushing her was! She walked slowly to the closet that was adjacent to the bed and grasped the handles. "There is something seriously wrong here.." she thought aloud as she pulled the doors to the closet open and was immediately engulfed in darkness.

Laine awoke again, this time in her own apartment, to the meows of her cat, Sam. She bolted up off of the hard floor and glanced around at the familiarity of her bedroom at night. Her eyes settled on the glowing clock on the nightstand. "12am already?" She held the corner of her nearby dresser and used it to help her stand. "Laine...Laine..wake up!" Her mind replayed the sound of the voice of the unknown man. "Was I dreaming again?" she wondered. "Why do I keep dreaming about people and places I dont know?!" she screamed. Sam titled his head and meowed at Laine's startling outcry. She realized that she had lost 3 hours this time. Now she had worsening symptoms.. heaving sweating, dizziness, nausea... It was seeming as if this dream life of hers was starting to overtake her waking life. Not that she wanted to remember much of the past 5 years of her life, anyhow.

Personality


Laine-- She is a markswoman. (good with guns) She has sad eyes. She has an original and trendy sense of style and is sassy and opinionated. She is a talented singer. Though she has her talents, Laine fakes happiness a lot of the time. She lives alone, but with her cat. The black holes in her memory are connected to the death of her mother (stated above). She researches her own past and the cause of her blackouts in her spare time. She finds it very hard to trust or get close to anyone.
