Welcome to Gaia! ::

Barnabas - Page of Mercury

Name: Viviane Beeson

Nickname: Vivi

Age: 19

Birthday: August 13th

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Peridot

Blood Type: AB+

Fav. Food: Blue Raspberry Candy

Hated Food: Oysters

School: Destiny City University - Radio Broadcasting

Hobbies:
Radio - Vivi's hobbies definitely are tied into her current college career. Shes loved Broadcasting and radio since she was young, and knew she wanted to be in on the action. She likes to tinker with her own transistor, making a shortwave broadcast that she plays whatever music shes into at the moment on. She doesn't do it now, since shed likely be caught and being 15 and curious would not save her. She does want to work for the college radio station, so she can gain actual professional experience for her resume and portfolios.

Public Speaking - But Vivi knows it's not just about knowing how the radio and transmissions work, you've got to have a good, confident voice for radio to, and so she joins every public speaking course and clubs, such as debate, when she can. It's given her a pretty confident style, but left her unafraid to speak her mind when something isn't right.

Virtues:
Sociable - She loves making friends, since that's a big part of putting yourself out there to have your name known county or statewide. She has a decently sized social group, all of them having been friends since high school, and a separate study group Vivi personally organized.

Sympathetic - Vivi wants to be sure she knows the feelings of her friends and future audience, so she never seems like a jerk when on the air or trying to move up the career ladder, so she tends to be a sympathetic listener to everyone's troubles. Making sure she has the right thing to say at any time.

Flaws:

Bigmouth - Unfortunately, to make such amazing emotional strides Vivi tends to accidentally speak about certain, possibly important details when even shes unsure of a solution, to uninvolved third parties. It's usually her mother and father, but sometimes it has been friends, which ends up causing chaos amongst her friend groups.

Blunt - She tries to make the situation better when it goes off the rails, unfortunately this means saying what shes thinking, and nevermind if it's not what the other party wants to hear, the situation has devolved too far to be nice dammit!


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Round, Brown

Hair: Long, knee length Blue hair, sticks simple scrunchies or hairties in to tie and prevent severe knotting. Sometimes the ties have floral patterns or some sort of odd little design.

Mr and Mrs Beeson: Her parents, she absolutely loves them, they've encouraged her following her dreams. She agreed with them about the bi weekly day trips as a way to continue bonding through her college career.

Abigail: Her sister, she loves her, but has no idea what to do with her. Like what to play with,what she likes to do besides getting dirty and crawling in the woods. That stuff. the nine year age gap doesn't help.

Glen: Ah, Vivi's good friend since she moved there, he was always so nice to her, and helped her with her radio and journal projects. He got sent to Hillworth, and after high school sort of....broke, she guesses? And left, but he's back now, and even babysits Abby! Unfortunately, now she's too busy prepping for college to really hang out. Of all the people she ever knew, it's him she wants to tell about the craziness that is being a knight in training and also going to school.

George: Go is....well, she's not sure, weird, terrible, a boy. He plays with Abby when she, Glen or her parents can't though, so she gives him that. Abby sure does kick him alot though.... She's actually known him since her family moved to the neighborhood from a town away.

Vivi hadn’t been aware that today would be any different, it had started normally enough. She woke up from her admittedly pointless late night research; the continued decline of FM and AM radio to XM, and how it could easily become exploited for nefarious purposes, at least that's what she thought, those weird guys in dc were always up to something, and it wouldn’t surprise her if they did use radio frequencies to broadcasts plans. She got ready for her summer class, tried to talk to Abby and her babysitter (she couldn’t bring herself to, he couldn’t bring himself to, it was all rather awkward), and made her way to the college. All in all, it was a decent morning, up until lunch, when a strange urge to look up something outside of her regular research overtook her. She couldn’t really explain it, she didn’t think she would ever be able to explain it, but she had the book in her hands, turning the pages to what felt like a very familiar thing.

The Monastery of St Barnabas, located in Cyprus.


Oh, this was odd, but maybe it had just been the result of something she wanted to look at before? But she couldn’t really justify that reason either, unless it was for class, Vivi rarely touched history before the 1800s, it got even more odd when she felt like this place meant something to her, more than even her dreams, her schooling, this old monastery she had never been to in her life resonated with her. But why? What did it mean? And why was she glowing, why was her pen glowing?….wait….glowing!?


“What!?” She exclaimed in fright, hearing a shushing sound from the front of the library, to panicked to care for it. The glow began at her hand holding the pen , spreading quickly to the arm holding the book, to her shoulders and the rest of her body. Okay, this was weird, so weird! But it also felt...right, so very right. As the glow continued, she noticed a weird symbol forming. The sign of the female? Not just the female, she thought, it was also the planet Mercury’s symbol. Oh no, oh no oh no no no no no NO, THIS WASN'T HAPPENING!!!!! SHE WAS NOT ABOUT TO BE ******** MAGICAL TODAY DAMMIT!!! SHE HAD A TEEEEESSSSST. But no matter how little she wanted the power, it was already surging through her, even as she struggled to run while it was happening, to at least get somewhere a little more private. As she she shut the door to the mysteriously unlocked janitors closet she found, the glowing stop, but she felt a lot warmer than before. She peered out the door, just a bit, to see if anyone in the library noticed her dilemma, which it seemed they either had and ignored it, or didn’t notice it at all. Good, good. She edged her way out, gathering up her own things and heading to the bathroom, she had to see, had to know what shed become.

She sprinted to the bathroom, locking it behind her and turning quickly to the first mirror in view. Well, what she was saw was….hot, jesus this was a weirdly hot outfit, didnt the magic stuff help with that? No matter, she liked the fur, the bodysuit, the bare part right over her breasts was a bit much for her, but she could deal. Now, that begged the question of what , or who, she was, and if she had a cool magic wand. She inspected the pen in her hand that had transformed with her, noticing it just looked more like a tablet pen now than a ballpoint pen. “Cool, I suppose” She waved it, frowning when nothing happened. She was silent for a few minutes, wondering what to do, how to turn back, when she felt a weird shift and suddenly she was in jeans and tanktop again. Just in time too, there was a terrible pounding on the bathroom door. Unlocking it and apologizing to the librarian and promising not to come back for some time, Vivi left the library in a hurry, skipping her remaining class for the day. She had a lot to research after all, about herself, and her new identity. This would be fun! It opened up a lot for her, a lot for...Barnabas, yes, that was her name, Barnabas. Instead of the straight path she was on as Vivi, Barnabas now saw the branches of the stream coming up ahead.

Oh, this was going to be so exciting!
