Player's Name: Emi
Name: Melanie Christine "Chris" Lyckander
Age: 14
Grade: Academy Sophomore
Birthday: 14 February
Height: 5'4''
Weight: 107 lbs
Gender: female
Personality: Chris is a little more complex than initial impressions would imply. At first glance, she is sweet, shy and quiet, ever a good little girl. Well, she is sweet, and she is a good kid, but her parents know better than to think her quiet or shy. Her parents were loving and she was spoiled a bit, but she was taught early the difference between want and need. Chris doesn't whine or complain, even when it might be necessary. Chris is amiable, quick to smile, and easy to get along with. On the other hand, she has a sarcastic streak a mile wide and, despite her cute appearance, has garnered an eyebrow-raising affinity for horror, especially in gaming and cinema. She has strong opinions, but is careful how she expresses them. Her temper is mild, and she rarely lashes out at people, if at all. Spending time with the Evans-Barros daughters have given her an outgoing, humorous personality, but it's a subtle kind of rambunctiousness that makes her quite charismatic. Like her parents, she loves to sing, but Chris much prefers to record her voice and then tweak it using her computer-- exposure to Tuebor Aetai has given her a love for the turntables, and she plays around with different kinds of techno music whenever she can. Her favorite would have to be remakes of classical music-- so far, she has worked her way through an entire collection of Bach, and is well into Vivaldi and Beethoven.
Appearance: Chris is an attractive girl, cute in a subtle way. She has her father's soft, sandy-toned skin and her mother's long lashes. She has round, chocolate-colored eyes, long waves of oak-brown hair, and a mild pout to her lips. She hasn't quite grown into her build yet, so her movement carries an endearing awkwardness. She is deft with her hands, however.
History: Chris's parents were kind to her. She had a normal childhood centered around music and being with her family, and was always surrounded by other children. She was an active child, though between the ages of eight and eleven she was often ill, and this is where her powers began to develop.
Relatives who are now or have been at Dunehelden: Jaebi Lyckander, Ariel Hawk, Vincent Hawk (and Diana by proxy)
Magical Strengths/Powers: Chris is synesthetic-- she experiences external stimuli (sound, smell, color) as something different than it is (i.e. seeing a taste as a color or experiencing someone's voice as a scent instead of a sound.) This odd quirk plays into her magic, which absorbs the magic of others and turns it into something different. In short, Chris's power is to make another's magic her own. She can mimick, but not mirror, the abilities of others, so long as they are purely magic-related and have nothing to do with personal talent or physiological ability. For certain magics, like healing, her channeling ability is limited to use on her own person. For instance, if she gleaned magic from Aramis or Kemekin, she would be able to heal her own injuries, but not the injuries of others.
The more powerful the magic she channels, the more powerful her own abilities.
Magical Weaknesses/Flaws: Chris's mage abilities are useless on their own. If she is not in proximity to another mage or magic user, she is unable to use magic at all. Her magic does not extend to the special abilities of shapeshifters, and does not always work with vampires.
