Character Details
She's kind, there's no two shakes about it. She also wants to save the world. If there is anyone in trouble, it's a slight chance that she'll be there to give a good talking to, or a simple hug even if she doesn't like it. When she was younger, she always considered herself the ears of the family, willing to listen to anyones problems and being that shoulder to cry on. This has made her quiet, figuring her own problems aren't worth speaking about or doesn't matter when it compares to anyone else. Sometimes her gentle nature can be pushed aside in favor of the truth, everyone needs to hear it, she just puts it nicely. There are often times when she comes off as cold and aloof, wanting to not create emotional ties to anyone or anything because it can be taken away at a moments notice.
Empathic Healing |
Reese's healing extends to emotions as well though handled a bit differently. Her empathic healing covers emotions, when there's tormoil, she can set at ease. Depression, she could assist in feeling better, but that's a tricky sort, since depression often times run deeper than most and is not a chemical imbalance. Split personalities are eased but not taken away, and a rushed and quickened mind can be put to calm with time. Her empathic healing is not a quick fix, but it could help the current situation and give clearer mind to cloudy thoughts. |
Healing |
Reese can heal any wound, whether it be lethal or light. The lethal wounds take time and a great deal of patience, coupled with sessions to allow her to rest. The downside to lethal wounds is that Reese has to be there as soon as it happens, and if that person is past the point of no return without aid before reaching her, they're considered a lost cause. Her healing can happen various ways, it could be a beam of light that washes from her hands onto the person, or a bolt of light that shoots from her hands and directly into the person. The bolt of light is only a short time heal, it heals wounds up to a certain point that would allow a person to keep fighting, or buy that person time enough to get away. |
Lines Of Life |
Along with her healing powers, she's able to see the lines of life of a person. This is not to say that she can tell when and where a person will die, but if they were put in front of her, injured, she'd be able to tell how long the person has and to guess at how long she would have to heal them. This ability causes her to focus, and would actually allow her to see how many people were in the room. While she cannot rightly tell who is who by their lines of life, she could at least know that someone would be there with her, and would use her other senses (ie Smell, Touch) to discern who the person is. |
Restoration |
Restoration is different, as it does not restore the body persay, it restores the energy. This does not happen by touch, but by a transference of energy from mouth to mouth. It'll not necessarily be a kiss, but a blue light that travels from the pit of her belly and into anothers. This is done at the cost of her own energy, and can be done multiple times until she is drained. Her limit so far stretches to five people, for after the fifth person that she 'restores', she would need to sleep and eat, and would be unable to heal until she has her rest. This could essentially cost her greatly, even putting her into a coma like state or cause death. |
Regeneration |
Reese is able to regenerate herself from any wound she sustains as long as it's not potentially and originally fatal. A bullet to the head will kill her, as well as a beheading. Her regeneration is slow, and often times automatic unless she's is in distress. The downside of regeneration is that she cannot have a single mark upon her body, as she favors the beauty of tattoos and piercings, it would be a moot point with her, and she'll forever remain a blank canvas because of it. |
Empath |
She's a natural empath, has been since the day she was born. It's possible as to why she's taken to the healing gift so well, and the need to help others who are hurt physically or emotionally. There's no magic behind this, just pure human intuition. |
Combat Ready |
Despite Reese being blind, she's able to rely on the Lines of Life and her heightened senses to defend herself if need be. She's no martial artist, she can shoot a gun but not to perfection like most, and can hold her own in a close quarters fist fight with the use of dirty tricks if need be. |
Weird Science |
Reese is a researcher of all things weird and interesting. Flesh eating plants? She probably knows about it. The rate at which food decomposes if left out in the open? Yep, she'll look into it. No task is too hard for Reese, if it's interesting and strange, she'll be there to investigate and research it. |
Mixed Heritage |
Her heritage is not an unusual one now a days, but in the past it was. Being African American and Japanese does have the taste of the exotic, but the novelty for her has worn off due to hard times and misunderstanding mixed in between. But, she does consider herself the best of both worlds, which makes her relatable to both sides of the coin, social or not. |
Immunity |
Due to her regenerative and restorative gifts, she's immune to most toxins and poisons. A very high dosage that would kill a full grown male is enough to put her down and out of commission, but not enough to kill. Diseases also would fall into this category. She's able to be around infected or the sick without suffering the effects. Only something extreme and direct would have an effect on her, which it would push her regenerative abilities to the limit and force her into submission. |
Advanced Hearing |
Due to her blindness, her hearing has increased ten fold. She could hear breathing around her, small sounds that would let her know that someones near by. She can even tell a person apart from the way they walk, some people step heavier with one foot than the other and she could recognize that pattern all too easily. |
Enhanced Smell |
With her blindness, her sense of smell has heightened as well. She could smell poison on a breath, she could also smell a person coming near to her and tell them apart from another person as people tend to carry their own scents. However, she will not know if a person is near by if they're odorless, which is possibly the only downside to her natural advantage. |
No Place Like Home |
Seikatsu does not have a home. Which is a good advantage for her. The world is where she lays her head at night, which makes her a very hard person to find. It also helps if she were to have enemies, there are chances that she'd be impossible to find especially if the person does not know where to look. |
Sensitive Skin |
Reese is very sensitive when it comes to her surroundings. It could be possible that due to her blindness, almost everything that touches her or is near her hits her like a raw nerve. For example, a hug could sometimes be unbearable especially if she doesn't want it, a light tickle could become rather intense. If someone sneaks past her, she'd feel the brief shift of wind like a chill, and she could tell if a person has a mild fever or if they naturally 'burn hot', and it'll make her uncomfortable. This also has downfalls, as most of the time her skin is ice cold and she's freezing, so covering up is almost mandatory. |
Practically Immortal |
She's essentially immortal. When she came into her powers, her high level of regeneration and healing to her own person allows her to retain her youthful features. |
Immortality |
There is a very, very costly downside to being the type of immortal she is. While she's able to interact with the world and make a difference, the world slowly begins to change her. The price for filling her hearts desire to help and aid the weak is her own soul. With each passing decade, it slowly dwindles away. Emotions are sometimes hard to come by. The loss of a friend is met with apathy and the need to carry on. Tears are barely shed at tragic events, happiness and love come in rare forms. Eventually, if she is not killed (and she can be, easily), she'll just be a shell of a woman with little to no humanity left. |
Secrets |
Reese has secrets, like anyone does. But this makes her a very hard person to relate to or get close to. Due to these secrets, they're the reason why she tends to be a loner and only come when she's called. Integration into the normal world is execptionally hard for her, making friends even more so. |
No Purity In These Bones |
Living a long life does has its trials and tribulations. Seikatsu has seen the darker side of man and has come out scathed. Wars, death, attempted murders, the loss of love and life has turned her cold to most affections. |
Homeless |
Being at the bottom of the pit really doesn't have it's perks. She sometimes frequents shelters and soup kitchenes to get food, and there are times when she can go days without eating, which possibly speaks to her extremly skinny frame. She's not really skin and bones, but it shows in her face that she needs a good meal and a shower, along with decent nights sleep. She could even pass as a crazy person, which could be a blessing in disguise in most cases. |
Sensory Overload |
With her senses heightened, she could in fact, go into sensory overload. Whether it be touch to bare skin, loud sounds, intense smells, it's enough to make anyone go mad. Her process is all too human, first she complains and rants with the best of them, when it goes to be too much, she withdraws and tries to center herself. Anything unbearable and she'd be unable to react, which would draw out a cat trapped in water phase, her doing anything to get away. |
Blind |
"I saw the *birth* of the universe and I watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained - no time, no space, *JUST ME*! I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a *mad* man. And I've watched universes freeze, and creation *burn* - I have seen things you wouldn't believe, and I have lost things you will never understand - and I know things. Secrets that must never be told."
The reason for her blindness is purely mystical. It is possible that the gods that bestowed her the gifts that she currently possesses and took away her sight because of something she saw on the other side and took with her into her rebirth. If she does have this knowledge, it is a question as to why she's allowed to keep it and not her sight. Either way, she is blind, and no form of self regeneration will rectify it. |
