Triss/Intro

Bygone Type: Thing From Beyond Apparent Age: Late Teens/Early Twenties Height/Build: 5 ft. 2 in. / Slender and Athletic. Hair Color: Brilliant White Eye Color: Violet Noteworthy Abilities: Shapechanger, Healer Occupation: Observer of Humanity, Occasional Pickpocket Description Though she frequently hides her features beneath the hood of her sweatshirt, the young woman before you presents an almost shocking vision of bright white. Both her skin and hair are a brilliant, almost luminous white that marks her instantly as an albino. Her fine hair is swept back from her face and is gathered into a ponytail by a purple hair elastic. Even her eyelashes are a clear white, rimming her eyes like frost setting a sharp contrast to their deep and rich violet hue. Delicate features and high cheekbones give her an almost waifish appearance. Her lips are the same stark white as the rest of her skin, their soft curves all the more striking for their lack of color. The young woman has a slender and athletic build, rising to just a little over five feet in height. A somewhat shapeless grey hoodie is draped over her shoulders, hiding most of her figure from view. She wears it unzipped enough for a dark violet t-shirt to show beneath, bearing a logo too cracked and faded to make out anymore. A broad belt of dark grey leather is threaded through her dark grey jeans, the steel buckle scuffed and worn. Frayed patches over the knees of her jeans threaten to show more of her pale skin with only a few more washings, and a pair of battered old hiking boots are laced upon the girl's feet. Her slight build and exceptionally bright features often give an impression of innocence, sometimes at odds with the intensity and almost constant curiosity in her eyes. Creation Triss is a tiny sliver of one of a great, formless entity from beyond this reality. She was brought into the universe through magical means and imprisoned within an enchanted vessel. Her memories begin there, in the quiet dark of that prison. There's no telling how long she lay within it, but nearby construction caused a collapse in the underground chamber the vessel was in, freeing her and exposing her to the laws of the universe for the first time and forcing her to take form. The humans above were some of the first creatures she encountered, so it was a human form that she took first. Humanity As she explored her new reality, Triss quickly found humanity to be the most interesting of all life she encountered. She is fascinated in how humans cope with their inherent frailties, and finds them inspiring as well. She has spent most of her time wearing one human form after another, observing humanity from within and slowly learning the language and culture. Most recently she has chosen to try to take on more than a form, but also a more lingering identity, certain in her ability to pass as human now and curious for a closer view of society. RP Hooks Street life - Triss is one of the city's homeless at the moment. She doesn't make much of an impact on the streets, but it's not a secret that she drifts about. Pickpocket - Triss rarely needs money, but when she does she often just.. takes it. Don't expect her to be wearing her usual face though. Student - While not officially a student anywhere, Triss has a voracious appitite for knowledge, and can often be found at the libraries of the city. Swimmer - When it's warm enough to allow for it, it's not uncommon to find Triss along the shore, going for a swim. Mystical Aura - Attempts to sense magic on her are easier, and she always registers as using magic. Wilderness - Triss is interested in observing all forms of life, and has no fear about tromping around in any kind of wilderness alone.
