Name: Evangeline Lennox
Dominant Species: Human
Sub Species: Angel
Collective Species: Nephil
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Occupation: Prostitute
Face Claim: Yukari Hayasaka; Paradise Kiss
Personality: Evangeline is one of the best on the street for more than just her looks (though that's a contributing factor); she's a natural-born actor, the kind who can take any face at any time and play it perfectly. She's almost never seen without a smile, and is usually very friendly to clients and strangers alike.
However, in private Evangeline has a rather wry, gloomy way of thinking, despite her friendliness. She is highly religious, very charitable when not in some sort of financial peril herself, and regularly visits church. She is very conscious of her appearance, and hates her "wings" most of all.
Appearance: A young woman of impressive height and stature. She has pale skin and dark hair, and her eyes are an unusual shade of red-violet. She dresses like any other young woman, often with a hat to hide her eyes.
She has two symmetrical scars on her shoulder; it is from these points that her "wings" sprout. They are not wings like those of a pure angel, but ragged, ugly things, covered in ichor. Underneath, their feathers are a dull, glossy black. They die shortly after sprouting, living a month at the longest, and disintegrate if left alone. Evangeline is greatly ashamed of her wings, and lived in constant fear that they will sprout inconveniently and expose her as a "freak."
Abilities:To the naked eye, Evangeline is a normal human. She does, however, have a high pain tolerance and, curiously, a very low level of fear. She does not shy from things that normally frighten people, like vermin, heights, or small spaces, and has a daring streak that borders on restless; however, luck seems to be on her side, for somehow she's never been seriously injured.
Though her wings are painful, she still has the ability to control them to move at her command. Given enough effort, they can lift her from the ground, and can also be used for gliding, propulsion, even even self-defense; they cannot be easily penetrated.
Inabilities: Despite all her strengths, Evangeline is very clearly a human (reiterating the fact that, not only does she not have superhuman physiology, but she also lacks the superb regeneration and stamina that come with her angelic ancestry). Moreover, she is an untrained civilian, which sets her at a disadvantage against the nasty types one meets in East End, or humans who have been trained in a fight.
On a more mundane note, Evangeline has an extreme cast of astraphobia, otherwise known as the fear of thunder and lightning. She also suffers from paranoia and panic attacks, mostly caused by her wings.
Life Story:
"Your father came down from Heaven," Evangeline's mother always said. "He come to me in my time of need, and he gave me you."
Evangeline simply assumed that the poor woman had had one too many drunken flings. Granted, the insistent belief in angels had long since convinced people that Evangeline's mother was mad, and Evangeline herself didn't have much to disprove it; a little less than sane and a little more than willing to take advantage of her daughter's company, Evangeline's mother took every opportunity to compare Evangeline to the poor girl's father, which usually ended with Evangeline being compared to things like rocks or dead fish.
Around her fifteenth birthday, Evangeline's wings sprouted for the first time and though they scared the living daylights out of her, her mother was delighted and went into what initially seemed like paroxysms of delight and finally passed out on the floor; the doctor later announced that it had, in fact, been something along the lines of cardiac arrest, and Evangeline's mother passed away shortly after.
Realizing there was very little left for her in her hometown, Evangeline headed for London, and found rather quickly that there was plenty of business in East End for someone with her looks. She worked her way from the bottom of the streets to the top in almost no time, and has done so ever since… all the while trying to keep her secret under wraps and discover the truth behind her birth.
Sample Roleplay:
I'm Lia, but if you need one, I'll write it. Eventually.
