Alright, here's the profile! I was kind of flying by the seat of my pants, so I don't know if this fits with the story or what. *sighs* I hope that I'm doing it right.
Name: Mara Revanche
Age: 22
Faction (medium, exorcist, or possessed): Exorcist
Appearance: Mara has long, dark brown hair that reaches down to the middle of her back with a part on the left side of her head. Most of the time, she keeps it in either a braid or a bun and doesn’t garnish it with any kind of accessory. Her eyes are a startling shade of violet and lack a sense of warmth. She’s pale and across the skin above her breasts is a scar that extends from her left shoulder to her right. She hides it underneath high collared shirts and turtlenecks and doesn’t like to talk about it. The cause of the scar is unknown… even to those closest to her. Her wardrobe is composed of mostly black and gray materials that allow her to move around easily. She doesn't like jewelry, but around her neck is the pendant that her father gave her when she turned ten. It's simple and the stone is the same shade of violet as her eyes. Considered to be her most prized possession, she never takes it off and keeps it hidden from view.
Personality: From the outside, Mara seems to be a dispassionate, solemn person, but in reality, she’s very unsure of herself. She doesn’t have many friends, but those she does have, she treasures and protects. Her main reason for becoming an exorcist was to protect people and keep them safe. While she tends to be a bit socially inept due to her shyness, she bonds well with children and animals. She doesn’t have many hobbies or outside activities besides her job. She prefers to keep to herself and doesn't like it when people pry into her past. Despite being sensible in day-to-day life, in exorcism, she is extremely bold and doesn't hesitate or hold back.
Likes (at least five, please): Privacy, silence, friends, animals, strawberries, books, milkshakes, cookies, chess, helping people.
Dislikes (at least five, please): People she doesn’t know, make-up, evil ghosts, technology, cruelty.
History: She was born into a family (which consisted of her mother, father, and two siblings) of exorcists and grew up being trained in their ways. Around the age of twelve, her entire family was killed by a group of possessed during an attempted exorcism. The only way she escaped was by hiding behind a curtain and waiting until it was over and the possessed were gone. After her family died, she disappeared… only to show up under the tutelage of a master exorcism a short time later. She trained with him for the next seven years of her life before graduating and leaving. People do not know about her family or past, nor does she share this information openly. Since she was young, she could always see the spirits. This has aided her in her work. She uses her own spiritual energy to cast ghosts out of the afflicted, but, while her energy is extremely high, fighting often leaves her exhausted. Because of this, she keeps a heavy arsenal of weapons at her disposal. These include - (to be added)
Edit (6/21/10): I added two years to her age and fleshed out her appearance, personality, and history more clearly.
Also, not quite sure of her weapons, yet. At least I have her special abilities figured out. Which, as well, makes me ask - do the weapons and special abilities have to be conventional?
