Abilities: Advanced Muscle Memory and Telumkinesis
Personality: What am I like? Well my mother always said I was very headstrong. That can be taken as good or bad I guess. I like attacking my problems head on, whether that gets me in trouble or not. I hate beating around the bush for something unless I can understand why that would be a good thing. Even then you should expect me to be blunt whenever I talk. Sometimes that can offend people and I’ve actually gained some enemies from that. Oh well, their loss.
That probably brings me to another thing about me: I’m comfortable as I am. I guess you could call it confidence since I’m not sure what else can define it. I know who I am and what my personality is. I know where I stand in life, even with how crazy mine is. I hate it when I’ve got my ideals, I’ve got my morals, and that’s what I’ll stick with. Sure I’ll listen to others but I’ll argue my own point too.
Another thing about me; I’m more of a listener than a talker. Sure I can hold a conversation but I don’t like talking too much. I only turn “chatty” whenever I’m comfortable with a person. Otherwise I can end up giving one-word answers to long questions, which is another thing that can sometimes get on people’s nerves.
Which brings me to another trait of mine that can piss people off: sass. I’m very sassy, and apparently full of dry wit. Someone once compared it to the Sahara Desert. I’ll have to say I was pretty pleased with that assessment. Although in all honesty I get it from my mother; she’s single-handedly the sassiest being on the face of the Earth I’m pretty sure. We both have a way of insulting people subtly. It’s the only underhanded thing I’ll do sometimes. Otherwise I’ll say I don’t like someone right to their face. Depends on my mood I guess.
I’m not all bad though. Once I make friends I’m loyal to a fault. If you stick by me I’ll stick by you. My mother always stressed that loyalty was the sign of a true friend and true strength, so I strived to at least be that if nothing else. I always keep the promises I make and I strive to be that person everyone can always rely on when they need something. I don’t have many friends, but I want to be a good one in return to the few I have.
Friends: I guess what I look for in friends are people who I know would have my back at the end of the day. There's more to it then that, but my best friends are the few I can really trust. Otherwise I typically like people who've got a sense of humor and can stand my sass. The more comfortable I am with a person the more likely I am to talk, which usually leads to me becoming even more sarcastic. If someone can't survive that, they shouldn't try to befriend me in the first place.
I can also be stubborn sometimes, so anyone who knows how to deal with that could probably get along with me. They'll need a lot of patience at times. They'll also need a thick skin since I can be very blunt sometimes. I don't mean to offend anyone- you can tell when I do- but I often state what's on my mind without thinking too hard on what it'll sound like. Don't come to me for coddling unless you're really upset and in need of some comfort. Even then I can't promise that I'll give you the "everything will be alright" treatment. You're more likely to get my "suck it up cupcake" speech.
Enemies: My bluntness is what turns people off the most, if I'm going to be honest. Anyone who doesn't want to hear cold hard facts definitely won't like me in emotional moments. I'll also call people out for their faults if they severely mess up, so even if you're my friend I'm still open to giving you shit if you mess up badly and the fault is really on you.
My sass is usually the next thing that can annoy others. I like banter, and anyone who can't understand that or keep up will want to stay away. If you set up an opportunity for me to throw in a quip, expect me to take it. Otherwise don't give me any. Really, the fault would be on the other person for this one.
The also probably goes without saying but I'll mention it anyways: I hate cocky assholes. Sure some girls are into those super confident guys or the flip side with guys liking the bitchy girls. I'm not. If you're a bitch, you're a bitch. If you're a dick, you're a dick. I'm not attracted to it at all. Sure I can be a bit of a bitch myself but every girl is capable of that if you push her hard enough. I'm just not afraid to let mine show earlier on if I don't like you.

Age: 18
Position: High School Student
Godly Inheritance: Poseidon
Ability: Hydrokinesis
Personality: When I come up as a topic normally my manners are mentioned first. My mother always taught me that being polite was important, even if I didn’t like a person. "Respect the position, if not the person.” She’d tell me that repeatedly, and eventually I learned to actually utilize the saying. Turns out people are a lot more cooperative if they think you respect them.
I do have a temper, but I keep it hidden and let it seep out gradually. Although the normal telltale sign of when I’m getting upset or fired up is when my accent becomes stronger. It’s already pretty evident, but it only gets worse when I’m angry. Although that usually doesn’t happen very often, I’m happy to say. I typically have enough patience to deal with most people, even the particularly infuriating ones.
I try to be as sweet as I can be, honestly. A simple act of kindness can often go a long way. Although I'll admit that sometimes it can be a trifle hard for me to be sweet to someone. Especially if that someone has the manners of a wild hog. While I do try my best try my best I'm not about to let someone step all over me. I'll help but I'm not inclined to go complete out of my way for anything less than a best friend.
Which I reckon brings me around to my persistence. I'm a very determined type of girl, especially when I want something and even more so if someone tells me I can't do something. I love proving people wrong, I confess. There's some sort of wicked satisfaction I get from their faces. It's bad but honestly at this point I don't rightly care. If you're going to underestimate me, then watch out; this underdog bites.
That brings me to the last important thing you should know about me. I like taking risks even for all the logic I show. There's a certain thrill to doing something a tad bit dangerous that I simply can't resist. Whether or not that means I'll get down and dirty or not hardly effects me. Although I'm not stupid. If there's a likely chance I could end up dead or horribly injured, then I'll probably pass. I like a challenge, not a death sentence.
Friends: If I had to describe my friends, I'd say that for the most part they've got good manners. Maybe not the best, but as long as they say their "please's" and "thank you's" and give respect where it's due, then I'm fine. Sure I like people with a lot of class to them, but I'm not looking for the stuffiest bunch who're fine to eat everything off a silver spoon and live up to their daddy's expectations. I like people with a bit of variety to them. If I wanted to befriend a broken record, I'd go out and buy one myself and scratch it.
Of course my friends will have to be able to handle my type of personality. I can be a bit commanding and very sassy if you can pick up on it. Although I swear I'm dedicated to the few true friends I've got. My mother always told me that to have friends you've got to be a friend. I reckon it's nay fair I give what I want to receive. If I give someone my loyalty, than you better rest assured that I expect it in return.
Enemies: Being my enemy is just as easy as being my friend. For one thing I hate arrogance. Sure it's a good thing to have confidence in yourself, but it should come with an equal amount of humbleness to balance it out. Otherwise you've got an unproportionate plate and are only feeding yourself hot air. Honestly I think I'd pity you more than anything.
Although the one thing I won't pity is misogynistic pigs. I don't care much for the assumption that every girl needs to be pampered and treated like a delicate flower. I hardly appreciate when I'm being treated like the "weaker sex." Girls can be just as tough or more so than guys. Besides, other than soldiers we girls seem more blood than boys do. So don't insult my gender unless you're really looking for me to tear you apart, ok? Although I have a feeling it might go right over your pretty little head.
