Name -Trisha Aaron
Alias - Quidam (The name she gives to everyone)
Age - 16
Gender - female
Side - Neutral
Power/Skill - She can use the dead as puppets, but NO she cannot bring people back from the dead, and the corpse has to be within a 15 mile radius. She transfers some of her life source into the corpse and can control it that way. Whatever movement she makes, the body makes. She sometimes loses energy quickly (especially when she's angry), so she doesn't really like using it, but yet, she still does. The best thing about it is that dead people can't die again, so they can go on for quite awhile if she's emotionally stable enough. The worst part is that she has to be calm enough to contol them (corpses) properly and it's difficult for her to use her powers in Manhattan because there aren't many cemetaries there, practically none (I live in NY and I go to the city a lot, so if anyone has questions, just ask! Most of the cemetaries are in Brooklyn and the Bronx.).
APPEARANCE
Strength - can bounce back from anything that hits her emotionally ((i.e. if she gets emotionally hurt, she'll put it behind her when the time comes, though her anger tends to linger for awhile, causing conflict with her powers. Sorry, I should have explained that better)), trusts her guts, Doesn't give up, very determined to get things done. Always there to be the shoulder to cry on.
Weaknesses - Can be gullible, takes her awhile to trust people, Not always very patient, easily influenced by others, Takes things a bit too seriously, angered easily, Easily persuaded and has a hard time saying no.
Pets - A black labrador named Ed who she trained to sniff out dead corpses within the area. If he smells one, he barks and whines when he doesn't smell anyone.
Personality - Is very quiet...not because she's cold, but she's not used to people talking to her. Has trouble trusting others. She's usually alone but she hates being that way. She likes having people near her. When she trusts someone, she's much more open and talkative. Although her power is a dark one, she tries to use it the best way she can. She has a good sense of morals ((no stealing, no underage drinking etc.)). She likes music and is skilled at playing the piano. Quidam is very self-conscious and doesn't believe in herself much, but she has her moments, like most people do. Quidam is somewhat gullible and wishes she could change. She gives out the name Quidam to everyone because she really doesn't want people to know who she really is since she feels that it may spread around. She's also quiet the feminist.
History - Trisha Aaron who is known by the others as "Quidam" (Latin for anonymous), is very secretive. As a young child, she was always cast in the shadow of her brother, who was a mathematical and scientific prodigy. Quidam was ignored by her parents who always fawned over her older brother Ross, although she was noticed when she first started playing a piano. Her parents started paying more and more attention to her as her skills got better each day. They offered her piano lessons which she gladly accepted. Ross got very angered by this and a week later was about to be taken by the scientists. That's when he stroke up a deal- for Trisha to take his place and for him (being a science prodigy) to work with them on the experiment. The scientists said yes and they took Quidam who's life was finally being turned around and they took Ross as well, leaving the Aarons devastated.
At first she did not care about being an experiment, though she did struggle when they took her. She didn't think her parents would care as much as they really did. She was petrified when she saw what the experiments were all about. The scientists would put her on anesthetics when they did experiments on her because she would scream at the top of her lungs when they experimented and it made it hard for them to concentrate. Ross did the most experiments though. He would come in and taunt her when she was awake. He strived on making her feel awful.
Quidam escaped a month and a half later from when they captured her. She first found out about her power when she was visiting her grandmother's grave. She was thinking of a time when her and her grandmother were in Central park when suddenly, her grandmother's corpse rose up from the soil ((obviously, the way a dead person would look if they were to come back from the dead which I really don't want to describe. I'm pretty squeamish about that stuff)) Being terrified and frightened she ran away and tried to forget about her grandma and surely enough, her grandmother sank back into the soil. This is also the night she found Ed, in the cemetary, a mere, skinny stray. He quickly eased up toher and they became great friends. After all of this, her and Ed hid from the world in the sewers until she realized that there was nowhere to hide, and someone, whether it be the scientists or a construction worker, was going to find her. She doesn't know what has become of her parents or Ross.
She is very quiet because she was never normally engaged in conversation and is afraid of saying something stupid and embarrassing herself. Quidam has had experiences with weapons such as shuriken (Ninja stars). She prefers the ninja stars over her powers, because she considers her powers dark and evil, though she still puts them to use. And now she leaves to venture the world again. Frightened, anxious, and perhaps excited to start something new and begin a brand new chapter of life.
((OK, that was a lot of changes but I think I'm happiest with Trisha/Quidam being this way...I hope that it doesn't bug anyone, just tell me if things need to be changed.))
