Personality
Distinguishing Features: Ana has Vitiligo and the lack of pigmentation can be seen from the roots of her hair to around halfway down each individual strand, and the top half of her face. Her entire right arm also lacks pigment. along with various other places on her body.
Affinity: Lawful Good "Crusader."
Gear:
• Anasazi still does carry around her family's
necklace and
ring, but she keeps them hidden on the same chain beneath her clothes. She will only ever take them out to use if she ever needs to get past an official barrier or patrol guards.
• In a long black rectangular case that most people assume is some sort of instrument, is actually her Father's most valued plasma
rifle that he actually kept locked in a safe before she left. She stole it because she has shot it like, twice, and thus figured that it was better than nothing. So it was a no brainer. Duh. Plus it also could have very much been out of spite too.
• Even though she has more or less abandoned her rigid family and her responsibilities, she still carries around the Lumonte family
dagger that was passed down to her from her father. It's a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that she was, unfortunately, no expert in using by any means but her quick wit, and her determination have helped her in times of need.
• With her new life of freedom, and not having an actual place to live, she can usually be seen carrying around a duffle bag with her that holds everything that she needs or considers a necessity.
Powers:
•
Lie Detection - Empaths can sense when a person is lying to them, as lying can cause an irregularity in one's pulse and emotions.
•
Animal Empathy - Ana can sense and/or understand the emotions of animals and vice versa, but the animals have to be within 65 to 75 yards from her.
•
Plant Empathy - Anasazi can understand the overall well-being and conditions of individual plants, as well as fully interpret their emotions and communicate with them through the way of touch.
•
Remote Empathy- This means that Anasazi can use empathy over vast distances, and potentially on a global scale if need be, however, this takes up a lot of mental strength and energy.
•
Empathic Echoes - This allows Ana to receive emotional glimpses of memories or mental imagery associated with certain emotional states from current or past times. She does not have control over how or when the echoes will hit her and the ones that she normally receives are those tied to places that have a traumatic history.
•
Psychic Navigation - If given at least one object of high sentimental value from someone, then Ana can trace where other targeted objects/subjects are located by “scent”. She can’t identify a specific locale unless they are in a short-range.
•
Empathic Projection - Ana, like most other Empaths, possesses the ability to project her own emotions onto others. It's not overpowering but if she cries, then anyone in a 25-yard range will start to cry too.
•
Seismic Sense - Ana was born blind and so she has developed the ability to pick up even the slightest vibrations through physical contact with the ground and that around her and enabling her to perceive their surroundings as precisely as normal sight. She is able to sense the structure and materials of solid substances, including the presence of caves, material changes, structural weaknesses, etc. She carries herself well enough that nobody really notices until she needs help to read something or things of that nature.
•
Clairvoyance - Ana can forge an emotional connection with another being after some means of time and only after having an intimate physical connection. For example, a heated kiss or even just sleeping together for some time. If that connection stays open for long periods of time, then she gains the ability to sense when that person is in danger and is also able to locate them by their "emotional scent". An example of how to break this link can range from an intense/emotionally draining fight, or any traumatic experience caused by that someone else, or if she's angry enough to shut them out and cut ties herself. However, breaking the link itself usually comes with a fair amount of pain so she tries not to forge too many connections at all.
•
Sensorial Link - Ana can create a sensory/empathic bond between one or more individuals by way of touch, this may include sharing emotions, feelings, damage, and even death. For example: if a person involved in such a link feels pain, then all others shall also experience it.
•
Empathic Healing- Empaths usually can easily heal emotional wounds, but healing physical wounds are somewhat uncommon. When Anasazi is "healing" wounds that are physical, she can not heal the actual injury. Instead, she simply takes the pain into herself so the victim no longer feels that pain. This is obviously rather painful for her but as far as she knows, it leaves no lasting effects after she had taken her hands off of that person.
•
Empathic Voice- Ana can manipulate the emotions of other sentient beings through the power of her singing voice. The effects depend on Ana’s tone and intention: a joyful or mournful tone will instill the same feelings in her listeners.
•
Emotional Energy Manipulation- Anasazi can take hold, create, shape, and manipulate the abundant energy that is created/generated by the emotions of every/all living things in existence capable of feeling them. When she taps into this energy she is capable of manifesting and manipulating the emotional energy to a physical level. It appears at the tips of her fingers and she can use hands as “blades” that can cut through 2 inches of metal and steel with ease. However, this does still place her mind under much strain so this is sort of a trump card in a way.
•
Empathic Inundation - When Ana is in mortal danger, this is another trump card of sorts. As long as she can get her hands around her opponent's head, this ability allows her to overwhelm their victims with unwanted sentiments and feelings that have been harboring the victims' consciousness. If she's able to hold this connection for a period of time, longer than 3-4 minutes or so, it and she is capable of forcing others to experience all their deepest sentiments all at once. This can leave people susceptible to mental pain and leave lasting emotional distress, render them unconscious, or cause them to perish and meet their death.
Weaknesses:
•Ana does experience terrible headaches if she goes overboard with her powers or if she becomes overwhelmed.
•If she lets her mental guard down, she can be easily possessed by Spirits and Ghosts, as they are beings bound by emotions.
•Ana's Animal Empathy is not a form of mind control, so aggressive, dangerous animals may still attack her.
•Anything not having physical contact with a solid surface evades her detection and loose matter, such as sand, which may distort her perception of things.
•The only down-fall to Ana's Emotional Projection is that she can not control it. If she lets her feelings run too wildly or " too loudly, " she can be easily tracked this way. In order for her emotions to remain somewhat silent and not affect others, is for her to keep her emotions stable and in check at all times.
•Opponents who cannot hear are unaffected by her voice and influence, and Anasazi can be gagged to nullify the usage of this power.
Personality:
In her younger days, Anasazi has been called and/or described as the perfect depiction of Education, Grace, and Class, all bundled up into that of a beautiful young lady. Ana was also born blind so for her entire life and has been consistently reminded of that very fact and treated as such. A beautiful, weak, blind young lady.
To this day Ana still holds herself to some of those standards. Usually, she will give anyone the benefit of the doubt but she is still very much self-oriented and independent. She craves more than anything, even the air in her lungs, to be able to go wherever she wants without worry or fear of what could be lying ahead that she can’t see. That being said, she is in no way weak or fragile in a way that she might have been before now. After she has been living the past 2 years or so on her own in such a brutal world, she's become significantly more aloof and indifferent. During her adventures in this new life of freedom, Anasazi could finally see and understand why her parents had tried with all of their might to protect Their perfect daughter from the rough and ugly truth about their corrupt land. People were cruel and unusually cunning and greedy. If you couldn’t put money where your mouth is, when really you’re not going to make much noise, at all.
That was something that she had learned from a young age and as she had grown older, started asking more questions and grew more curious was why everything is that way that it is, her parents had still done what they could to make everything seem like sunshine and rainbows for their daughter, who could see nothing but black anyways. Ana however was no longer some little kid that could be distracted and quelled with toys. She had always been a rather curious one, with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and for freedom. She was never the type of person to punch first and then ask questions later but she had to learn how to be tough-skinned and resilient fairly quickly.
Her psionic skills and abilities were abundant and also quite strong now at her age. Her mother would ask her to show her a few things, but it was her grandmother who had drilled into her mind the basic fundamentals of her powers and their history. It was a gift to their people after all and it should be catered to and nurtured her grandmother would tell her. Funny enough, there would always be those people that think it’ll be easy or even funny to try to mess with the blind girl, be it for her body, because she might have pissed them off, or if they may be happened to recognize her for just Who she is and what to make a quick fortune for returning her. Whatever. While there have been a few times that someone had actually succeeded in tricking her and even kidnapping her before, all of those people have somehow been exposed for something and/or detained by the government in some way or another shortly after.
She herself is of course only one girl though and she couldn't possibly know how to do that kind of damage. Could she~?
On that note, while Ana is rather quiet and to herself, she can not idly stand by while witnessing great injustice, or if anyone is to approach her for help. Anasazi will almost always agree to do everything in her power to help!
Her preferred choice of fashion leans more on the androgynous side of the spectrum. Ana had found that she feels the most comfortable in things that are made to fit well and snug, but nothing skin tight at all. She loves things like high waited, and custom-tailored pantsuits. Loose-fitting, long-sleeve frilly silk shirts,, and maybe the occasional long-sleeve gown that always had to be long enough to reach the floor. As for when she would accessorize, she loved to collect and adorn her clothing with beautiful jewel-encrusted lapel pins or necklaces. They were big enough for her to be able to feel the patterns that would be carved or added in. The texture was also something that was of importance to her. Anything that is too itchy or rough will do nothing to irritate her sensitive skin and agitate her to the point of no end. Anasazi also used to own a vast collection of rings and bracelets that she would always be seen wearing as well but, that's all gone now, isn't it?
