The Forgotten
09-30-08, 11:04 PM
Name: Jessie
Alignment: Conflicted
Race: Human
Age: 23
Apparent Age: 20-22
Gender: Male
Hair color: Brown
Eye color: Hazel
Height: 6’-3”
Weight: 163 Lbs
Appearance: Jessie is a rather plain person, and an easy face to forget despite being tall and lanky. He is always sporting some sort of trousers and a light-weight shirt; no real eye for fashion ever turned his way. His dark brown hair is cropped very close to his head and an ever-present shadow is smeared across his pale chin and cheeks. His hazel eyes shift moods with him, but there’s almost always a small twinkle that shows up in the corner of his eye despite his mood.
Attitude/Personality: Easygoing and far too patient for his own good, he wants to see the best in people even if all he knows is the worst. He is easily embarrassed and shy at first glance, but underneath it all he’s generally outgoing among friends. It takes a dedicated hand to provoke him. He has become a touch jumpy around shadows at night, fearing their resemblance to his dreams. He has also become more introverted and now prefers to wear Jessica's form to his own.

Name: Jessica
Alignment: Headstrong
Race: Human
Age: 22
Apparent Age: 18-20
Gender: Female
Hair color: Pink
Eye color: Red
Height: 5’-6”
Weight: 135 Lb
Appearance: Most noticeable is the long, pink hair that flows down to her shoulder blades. After that, her red eyes draw attention away from her moderate breasts and casual dress. Quite the opposite of forgettable, her image tends to linger an almost unnaturally long time in the minds of others. Her lightly tanned skin is smooth all over, yet it is firmer to the touch than expected.
Attitude/Personality: Jessica could be described as Jessie’s alter ego if they weren’t the same person. With a different appearance comes another attitude. She is much less patient than Jessie and is far quicker to anger. Because there is a male mind behind the female exterior, she is much less willing to get into compromising situations than another woman would, unless the situation has no other conceivable solution. She has also started to develop a kind of personality detachment from Jessie. At times he can not remember pieces of events that happened while in Jessica's form.
Abilities:
Staff fighting – Jessie knows his way around his bo-staff much better than the average fighter, but he is still prone to making a few mistakes. His style incorporates many close combat techniques as well, making him dangerous even without his weapon.
Æther Blades – Jessica can form blades out of Æther and attach them to anything solid. Any number of blades can be formed, but the total mass of the Aether required can be no more than that of a longsword. The blades can be any shape, but despite being made from magic they are as strong as steel and last until she dismisses them.
Macabre Mind – Memories from the hidden life Jessie only remembers in his dreams have started coming back unbidden. From these memories, knowledge of human anatomy and its workings seep into his thoughts giving him the ability to know vital points and where to strike on a human (or humanoid) body to inflict either debilitating or lethal damage. He knows where to hit, but does not necessarily carry the skill to make full use of his knowledge.
Transformation – Quite simply, Jessie is able to turn into Jessica at will. Jessica retains all the abilities that Jessie knows, but Jessie cannot perform any Æther-related feats unless he is in Jessica’s form.
Magic Resistance– Though the reasons are unknown, the monks in the Pagoda find their healing magic does not work on Jessica as well as it should. Only healing magic is affected by this uniqueness, effectively requiring four times the effort to heal her with any magic.
Equipment:
Sturdy Oak Staff
Small satchel
History:
Through a haze of fights, sleep, and more fighting, Jessie has found himself trapped in the life of a warrior for the Dajas Pagoda. It is through these endless fights that he finds both peace and annoyance; he knows that he can leave whenever he wishes, but doing so would count as a failure in his mind. A failure to overcome an obstacle he chose of his own volition. Perhaps that is why he spends more time inside his illusionary arena than he does outside. His list of opponents is neither long nor impressive, but his record is perfect so far. Two fights as a warrior, two wins as a warrior.
He dreads the night now, knowing that an eerily recurring dream is currently haunting his mind. He knows that the dream is one from his past, but that is all he knows. Three silhouettes are bent over what he believes to be his body, all crying. Twisted, blackened metal surrounds him, but that is all he can see. He assumes that the figures care for him, but how and why are still mysteries.
