Name: Erin White

notsharkbait
Age:17
Appearance: Erin is pretty tall for her age. She is about five feet and ten inches tall and looks like she hasn't quite settled into her height. Even when standing in place she has a hard time not playing with her hands. When she is thinking she will grab a lock of hair to twirl around a finger and wrinkles her nose up at the same time.
She also is very good at blending into the back ground if she doesn't want to be noticed. She can adopt the same kind of posture as the rest of a crowd and very carefully will not look at anyone to avoid drawing people to herself.
Home World: Erin was originally created for [Bad username or unknown identity: ”dc_nation”]. This is a DC based game that diverges from current canon. They do tings a bit differently over there some of the details in fact are a big reason why Erin was created,
History: Expanded history.
Powers/Talents: Erin is a very gifted student of languages. She has picked up some of the dialect of Ancient Greek that the Amazons on Avalon use. Enough to help them file paper work and order food.
She also speaks a tiny splash of German, French, and Spanish. She is really good speaking, reading, and writing Atlantean going up to the equivalent of a fifth grader.
Water adaptation: Erin is effected by the events that made Sub-Diego. She is adapted for living under water. She can breath under water and is in fact dependent on the water needing at least eight hours a day submerged otherwise she starts to get sick. Additionally her tissues and bones are much tougher to allow her to dive deeply as if she were a real Atlantean.
Low light vision: Erin can see better in lower light conditions than most being but there must be some source of light within roughly one hundred feet.
Super Strength: Erin is much stronger than a normal human able to lift up to one ton of weight.
Speed: She is NOT as fast as a true Atleantean only able to go about half their speed under water. This means while Aquaman can surpass a pod of dolphins Erin would be stuck in the middle of them.
Personality:
The best way to describe Erin is this. She is a seventeen year old going on thirty. Being forced to grow up quickly Erin tried to balanced herself between being realistic about the world and wanting to see the best in people.
She thinks she was lucky to meet nice people to help keep her positive.
Erin is also a pretty cheerful person. She tries to find something to smile over every day. Usually it is just knowing she has everything handled and that her boss won't have any problems. This has helped her make friends with people who enjoy a bit of youthful enthusiasm though she doesn't really quite realize this is what some people like about her. She tends to not quite get why people might like her. There are things that just don't occur to her about herself due to poor socialization.
Like a very typical teenager Erin has also discovered her “inner shipper” as she calls it. She thinks people who are in love are totally the cutest thing ever, in her own words. If she has a chance to help said couple out she will sneakily, in her mind, try to do something nice for them. She thinks love is a beautiful thing.
For herself she doesn't really think she is capable of romantic love. She knows that she still has trust issues because of her parents. She still has trouble thinking of herself as a person instead of a freak because of how quickly they rejected her.
She is also afraid of really letting lose with her strength because she feels it sets her even further apart from the rest of humanity and leaves her feeling very much alone. She hates that.
She also hates never really having a place that feels like home. Her apartment back on Avalon doesn't even feel like 'home' to her even with the personal touches she has added. She isn't sure what home is supposed to feel like. These more negative feelings and attitudes about herself and her home life are things she won't readily talk about. She thinks that it would make her way too vulnerable to other people.
Why would your character be chosen? In spite of the hardship's Erin has dealt with in her teen years she has turned out fairly strong. She still retains a bit of innocence to her nature that could easily draw someone in. Even if she is not picked she could help others who may be selected.
How much does your character know about nonhumans? Erin is aware that aliens are a thing. She also knows Amazons are real. So are meta-humans, Atlanteans, and weird robots. Now she doesn't actually know as much as she could about any of them. She just knows the basics about the Atlanteans from her world and a bit about the current political climate in Atlantis since it effects Avalon.
Why this character: I really like Erin. I originally created her as sort of an in-game joke about Tula needing a secretary in the other game I play her in. I also used to play Erin in ToS and would love to come back to you guys.
4. Samples
Please either include a first-person entry that could be your character's first post on The Network, or a third-person prose or action spam sample that could be your character's reaction to arriving in Dagaz. For the other two samples, links to previous character examples are fine.
First-Person: (5+ sentences) Journal-entry style, written in the character's own voice.
Hello? [ She taps the device a few times. It comes off a bit muffled thankfully or that could be annoying. ]
Is this thing on?
[ Aah-ha! Now she sees how it works. Slowly her face comes into view. She gives a slight smile. ]
Sorry if I'm interrupting. I just found out about the housing situation. Really nice of them to house us after they kidnap us.
[ She gives a tense slightly annoyed look. ]
I'm sorry about this but I have.... certain needs that I have to address. Is there some place I can soak myself for at least eight hours a day?
If you can help, thank you. If not well I'm sorry for interrupting you.
Third-Person: Third person sample right there!
Third Sample: Erin made a frustrated sound as she slammed the door behind her. She couldn't help the way she reacted but she couldn't believe some of these people. They acted like she was a damn kid.
Okay. So they know she is seventeen years old. That shouldn't be such a big deal. Maybe she got used to being treated like an adult back in Avalon. She was old enough to have a job. Old enough to be on her own.
Then why did it sting so much to be treated like this? She can't figure it out. She just knows that every time someone tries to get her to back off a bit that it chafes.
She doesn't need parents. Parents are assholes. Don't they get it?
