Approximate Age: 19
Date of Birth: December 12, 1991
Prophet of: ((Potentially)) White Buffalo Woman
Rank: Newbie
Occupation: Student
Personality:
--((kept the Virtue Flaw breakdown from INOM))
Aside from her obsessive interest in Dune, ironically also themed around an addictive substance, Oli seems mostly like your normal young woman trying to get her feet on the ground. She's still trying to sort out her own identity, and is getting a feel for the fact that, although school politics always said otherwise, it's actually ok to stand out a bit and be yourself. It's no easier to try and decide 'who you are' either when you've been picked out by a God, but meeting some of the other players may relieve the feeling that she's alone.
-Virtues:
-Passionate: In spite of her Shy flaw, Oli is actually a young woman who believes what she believes with a passion. She believes in the intrinsic good in people, though she sometimes contradicts this by grouching to close friends about how much people can also suck. She's also a big believer in fighting to protect people, and has a great deal of respect for anyone who wants to stand up and protect the ones they love. Ghandi, in her mind, had a very nice idea, but she doesn't see it working in the world today.
-Creative Thinker: Oli is the girl who figures out the weird angle to solve the puzzle... the way it probably wasn't supposed to be solved. In game and out, her solutions sometimes cause some interesting collateral damage, like using the wind shield scraper to break the ice on the driveway so people wouldn't fall when the salt ran out. Sadly at the expense of the scraper.
Flaws:
-Self Doubt: Given time to think about almost anything, Oli tends to crawl into a pit of self doubt and become unsure of weather or not she can actually do the task at hand. Although she can accomplish quite a lot if she just forges ahead without stopping for this kind of contemplation, this likewise has problems, since she might miss something important, or just as difficult for her, find herself wondering afterward if maybe she should have done something different. She should have shouldn't she? Oh damn she's sure she screwed up.
-Shy: Oli wasn't the popular girl growing up, she's still getting used to the idea that it's OK to stand out a little, and that outside of the savage world of early school, being a little different isn't a criminal offense. As a result, she's an strange mixed bag with her wild hair and pierced nose, and a tendency to shrink into the corner of the party and talk to old friends exclusively.
Impulsive: The easiest way Oli has found to overcome her tendency to over think things is to just outright do it, no thinking required, and sometimes, especially if she's particularly riled up, this is exactly what she does, including saying whatever is on her mind when she's angry. This tendency can lead to later regret, and sometimes a lot of apologies, and she's still struggling to find a healthy balance between these two behaviors.
Likes: Knitting, Dune, Roleplaying, Dune, Reading (Dune), and Belly Dancing, and Pipe Smoke
Dislikes:
Powers: (Typically we'd like to see two-three minor powers, or one major and one minor as a Newbie, and then you advance from there. If you're a blacksuit or a civilian, skip this section.)
- Power One- (Minor) Smokescreen: Oli can summon a cloud of smoke to obscure the area. Said cloud also carries the distinct, slightly sweet odor of pipe smoke, rather than the more acrid and chemical smell of cigarettes, which may confuse someone who's unaware of the difference as to the actual nature of the smoke.
Power Two- (Minor)Sense Intent: Like her sponsoring Goddess, Oli can use this power, when activated, to recognize someone's intent. This is particularly useful when she's confronted with someone who she suspects might be a threat. She has to actively decide to use it in order for it to work.
Power Three (Major) Weapon Imperviability (limited) Much like the White Buffalo Woman in legend told hunters that she could not be harmed by their weapons, Oli's skin resists damage from weapons, more so than normal human skin. Piercing equipment has worked on her in the past, indicating that this power may even have a subtle tie to the ability to sense intent. She's not bullet proof, but her skin absorbs some of the force of attempted attacks, so weapons may not cut as deeply as intended, or may even glance off entirely, depending on the angle and force of the blow.
As Oli grows in power, this ability may as well, though it's anyone's guess right now how powerful it can actually get. ((OOC: She would probably have to achieve full Godhood to actually become totally impervious, if at all.))
Appearance:
Hair: Pure white, and mostly cut short, toustled and boyish, except for a small braid right behind her ear. ((She makes Padawan jokes about this.))
Eyes: Dark rich brown and slightly almond shaped.
Face: Soft and feminine, with a delicate chin but an surprisingly strong line to the back edge of her jaw, which makes her less doll like and more stubborn looking.
Body type: Oli is moderately tall, with a lean, well exercised built. She's especially fond of her abs, which get some extra work out since she loves her belly dancing class. She got her belly button pierced for exactly this reason. Her Skin tone is dark, darker than most of her family, though they all share a salting of Native American history, though to be honest, Oli isn't so in touch with her background that she actually cares which tribe, and thinks it might be a mix. Either way, it's little more than an dash for 'color' so to speak, only really blatant in Oli.
Fashion sense: A strange mix of shy and showy, Oli loves fun, colorful clunky jewelry, especially coral and turquoise. Her white hair is often died with a streak of pink or pale purple in the bangs, sometimes both. Jeans are a staple in her wardrobe, especially boot cut ones. Depending on the weather and how confident she's feeling, her tops will range from huge bulky hand knit sweaters in crazy colors, to little, ornate midriff tops and belly chains to emphasize her abs and belly button ring.
Accessories: Multiple piercings in both ears, a small nose stud, and a slightly more ornate belly piercing. Oli has also been known to occasionally carry a pipe, though she hasn't been caught smoking it yet. Not actually native american styling, it's a meerschaum pipe she found in an antique store. She loves the color, and the smell of pipe smoke, but she'd be 'So grounded' if she actually lit up.
