Character: Eden Mac Cionaoith

Abilities: Magician. She’s handy with a gun, and has a good shot. Has never been caught smuggling anything, which is why she’s sought after. Speaks Irish Gaelic, English and gutter Spanish.

Flaws/weaknesses: Eden has very little sense of loyalty to people, although to causes she’s immovable. She believes that people are inherently transient creatures and shouldn’t be trusted, and she equates trust with loyalty, so she doesn’t trust many people. It’s not a matter of being social, because she’s fine socializing, but she knows that the only person who she can trust is herself. Physically, she’s half-deaf, being unable to hear anything in her left ear, which results in her

History/background: Eden was born to the Mac Cionaoith family inside of Connacht, in Ireland, to a bloodline of mages on her father’s side who are called the Children of Fedelm in reference to the prophetess in the Tain Bo Cuailnge. Theories on the bloodline say that they’re her descendents, or descendants of Queen Medb herself, but that’s all speculation. What remains of her bloodline, however, is her immediate family; her father and her two brothers. Her mother is a good Catholic who married into the family without knowledge of what she was getting into, and she remains unaware to a certain extent

Background setting: [the setting your character came from before PC] Essentially, Eden’s world is a mirror of this one to the extent of the same political climates and historical events. However, she comes from the year 1998, about four months after the signing of the Belfast agreement. Her family is rare; there are other families like hers all over the world (there’s a theory that each country has one, but that’s unproven because secrecy is highly encouraged and there’s no formal council or ruling party). In her world, if there are other supernaturals like werewolves or vampires, Eden is unaware of them. Her own family is a secret, so much so that her mother didn’t know about it. However, when she’s encountered other magicians, either as guests to her father’s home or once in Ulster, on accident, she’s acknowledged them and didn’t act surprised.

Physical description: PB is, tentatively, Lauren Ambrose. Eden has a very “traditionally Irish” look about her, but she can hide most emotions and is fairly good at acting with her face.

Sample RP: It was quiet.

It was always quiet when she was transporting the AK-47’s. They held up against anything, but even so, she liked to go when it was soft and quiet. She squatted down against a wall and listened to the night, expanding as much of her hearing as she could manage, her ear close to the ground. It was just a drop off tonight; she had already been paid which had been an unusual show of trust to her that she wasn’t entirely comfortable with. Normally she preferred that people treat her with the same regard she held for them; none at all. The IRA mattered, but the people? They came and went with the wind.

Okay, not the wind. She felt the wind now, chilling her, chilling the metal of the guns next to her skin. She turned her eyes up and resisted to call on her blood, nothing good comes from that, and watched for the signal from the window. Nothing yet. She settled back impatiently on her heels and watched the passing of the cars on the street, one every couple of minutes. What were they doing up there, fucking? She

Sample post:I know enough about the internet to know that whatever the hell is going on can be explained by the damned thing. This is definitely not where I fell asleep.

Father, I’ll send you to Hell if you’re responsible for this.

Food, water, shelter. I figure while I’m here I may as well make what I need to out of it. Anyone know where I can get these things? I have a fistful of coins fished from the fountain but they look like play-money. Am I even in Ireland anymore?

I suppose this is better than sitting around Belfast and starving there.

Unfortunately, we are concerned that there are too many inconsistencies in this application in balancing her flaws and her history. We feel that an empathic bond, rushing in to save innocents, trusting no one, and finding humans to be transient do not lend themselves to a feeling of consistency in our understanding of your character. Feel free to submit a new application during the next application week, and just as free to inquire a mod [messenger contact preferably] as to the reasons behind the rejection.
