Gaia Name: Your Missing Period
Character Name: Charlie McCallahan
Age: 19
Sex/Orientation: Hermaphrodite / Never really thought about it
Gift: The ability to create the illusion of your nightmares
History: Charlie had been abandoned at earth do to 'her' gender, and thus was raised in an orphanage. Of course then the war happened, more children turning up in orphanages and the peaceful life he once held was gone. Soon however, the orphanage was rampaged by one of the armies, looking for new recruits. The war had already done so much to the teen's psyche that when he was grabbed. In an instant he saw deep into this man's mind and the world around him changed into that of a small, simple suburban home. The man he saw had frozen so he ran away, hiding behind a door. But what he saw was that the man was grabbing the pale arm of a dead, and horrifyingly bloody child. The man panicked, looking around for Charlie before spotting him, the illusion breaking just in time for charlie to pick up what he thought was a picture frame (and was instead a piece of shrapnel) and stabbed the man in the head.

In the beginning he abused his talent a lot, using it to create his isolation, but he realized that it was having a problem on his own psyche, the longer he used it, the more it would start to turn against him, revealing her own nightmares before eating her alive. Despite not believing in God, she carries a Bible, using it to piece together her crumbling mentality, if even for a little bit. In the end, her ability will destroy her, and Charlie will become a victim of his own illusion.

Mada sang softly to herself as she walked through the ruins of an old city. she hadjust helped a little boy find his big sister and was in a really good mood. they had been separated in the night when hiding from some bandits over a week ago and the boy had been near collapse when she found him. the looks on their faces when they finally were able to hold each other again, there was nothing better in her world than this. she loved helping people, loved it more than sunshine or flowers or anything else on her list of favorite things. "Today is definatly a good day!" she announced happily, mostly to herself since for all she knew she was alone

Mada looked around for a place to spend the night, it was mid afternoon but this place looked like it was the best possible place for shelter. sometimes it was hard to find a good place to bunker down. she looked around and cocked her head to the side as she though she sensed someone. "hello? is there someone there? i promise i'm of no danger to you, so please don't be afraid. look, i'm unarmed." she held up her hands and twirled, showing that she really didn't have a weapon. she didn't count her bow as one, since she wasn't sure she was actually able to kill with it.

Mada smiled when the person spoke and turned towards him, her? it didn't matter which, "hello there. My name's Mada, and i'm a traveling priestess. nice to meet you." she gave a little wave and smiles widely, "i really am no threat to you. i'm sure you've heard something like that before, but i'm not able to hurt people. really and truely, it goes against everything within me." he shook her head and showed how serious she was, "may i ask your name?"

Mada accepted the other's hand and gently shook it, "thank you for trusting me, Charlie. are you hungry? i was thinking of setting camp and making a stew. would you like that?" she put down her pack and looked around, "Hmmm, this is a little open for a fire. is there somewhere you can think of that would be a little more covered?"

Mada thought for a moment and nodded, "that will do, let's go." she smiled and head the direction Charlie had pointed, humming as she walked. when they reached the store she looked around and nodded, "see that alcove there? we'll build the fire there. and then we can spend the night in the store, if that is ok with you." she walked to the store and looked at the clothign inside. none of them suited her tastes and she looked at Charlie, "if you need new clothes then now is the time." he smiled and gathered some of the wooden displays to burn before heading to the alcove and putting them down. a few kicks had them broken to usable peices and she got out a set of fire starting stones and used them to get the wood burning. all the while she was happily humming as she worked.

Mada smiled and took the can of beans, "thank you very much, but if this is all you have then there is nothing to worry about." she pulled out her pouch and took several seeds from it. she hummed as she put them in a large patch of dirt and then moved to put water from her canteen into a pot which she hung over the fire. by the time she turned back to the patch of dirt, every seed had sprouted to a full grown plant. "see?" she smiled as she picked the veggies and then cut them up with a small pearing knife from her pack. she put them in the now boiling water and stirred it before nodding. the left overs of the plants had bloomed and then seeded and she gathered those and put them in her pouch for next time. "there, now all we have to do is let them cook." in her moving back and forth she'd slipped the can back into Charlie's bag without him noticing.
