Aurora Belle Jenkins - OC - abilities/sample 1so_lowSeptember 6 2011, 01:43:12 UTC
Abilities: As a ghost, Aurora is generally invisible, and can possess people at will. This almost always goes unnoticed by the person she's chosen, but there's always those people out there who are more sensitive than others. In Mayfield, there will be a lot more. However, if she attempts to communicate, or take over their body, she will definitely be noticed. Controlling a person takes a lot of effort, but she can “push” the person to the back of their own mind, and control their actions for a short time, generally depending on what she's doing and the will of the person she's entered. An exorcist could always remove her, but Aurora would probably leave if you just asked nicely. Unless it was for your own good, of course!
As an incorporeal being, Aurora can also float through solid objects and fly. The larger the object, the more difficult it will be for her to pass through, but things like walls are a piece of cake. I'm hoping that if she regains this from while in Mayfield, she might still be able to be visible to everyone.
Sample Entry 1: 1) [Aurora might be too old by Mayfield's standards, but today she'll be showing up at the high school! She has a lot of faint memories of her own, and there's something comforting about this place. She wanders around the halls, smiling fondly, looking around at everything as if she's never seen it before. Drones are confused by the random presence of Mrs. X, but she doesn't seem to notice. If you don't look like a drone, she may approach you in between classes.]
Oh, hello! Boy, this school is amazing... Say, do you know where the art classes are? I'd like to take a look.
2) [While she doesn't remember anything about her own family, that doesn't stop Aurora from trying to fit in to her new role as wife and mother in Mayfield. Today, she's attempting to cook. The kitchen is a disaster area - recipe books are scattered, supplies and ingredients seem to smudge every inch of available counter and table top space. Aurora herself is dotted with flour, merrily mixing what might be a cake, humming to herself. Anyone entering the kitchen might notice the smell of something burning. Aurora notices too.] “Oh no! The pork chops!” [She nearly drops the mixing bowl and scrambles to the oven, waving away smoke.]
O-Oh... I'm so sorry! I really thought that... um... You're okay with the diner tonight, right? Right! It's on me this time.
3) [Post a horrible event, like Cream of the Cop: Aurora Belle will be found going door to door in the neighborhood once everything looks clear. It doesn't matter if she knows you or not, she'll be knocking, holding a tray of cookies. Don't worry, these she bought at the bakery.]
Hey! Hello. I know you don't know me, but my name's Aurora Belle, and I was just checking to see how you are. Yes, you! That whole ordeal was rough on everyone, so if there's anything I can to to help you out, please tell me. Oh, here, I've got these. Have one! [She offers up the cookies, looking hopeful.]

Sample Entry 2: Recently, Aurora Belle was finally given a job by the town. She's tickled by the idea of having one, and being a seamstress sounds like fun. Waking up bright and early, Aurora fixes up her hair, puts on her favorite dress, and skips out the door. To someone who didn't know any better, Aurora might seem like a drone as she cheerfully greets those she passes by with a "Good morning!" She arrives at work bright and early, eager to get ready to learn her trade.
The drones at the shop seem a bit confused about her asking about learning - hadn't Mrs. X worked here for a long time? Well, that's okay. Aurora is fine with trying to learn on her own, watching the drone women at their work and studying what they do.
But there's something familiar about this. It's niggling at the back of Aurora's mind. Something familiar about these dresses being fitted on mannequins, the hemming and sizing, the patterns and supplies... Aurora turns unusually quiet as she sits down at the sewing machine, and begins to thread it, muscle memory guiding her actions. She sits back, staring at the machine quizzically. Where had she learned to do this? She never learned to do this while in Mayfield.
That only meant one thing: she already knew how to do this. That she's done it before numerous times. Some part of her still knows how to do this. This was a memory! She could sew!
Overjoyed, Aurora Belle leaps from her seat. "I remember! I can sew!", she cheers. The drone women come to a stop, staring at her in confusion. One speaks up after a moment.

"Well of course you can, dear. You always could."
Aurora smiles widely at her. "Guess so!"
