wisteria

Note that all sexualities are fluid or basically pansexual, due to ness's own sexual mindset. All characters are at base pansexual; they could go for anyone based on personality over gender. Some of them may lean, and have a gender preference. Some may be more bisexual. Bigenders, transgenders, and other genders may not be an issue on pern, so that aspect may not be an issue. Point: Personality over sexuality, which is why they will be listed as Pansexual with a potential lean.

Looks

Wisteria is of average height, and she would be of strong build if she ever recovered fro the illness that left her mutated. IT wracked her body, left her perpetually a little too thin, and very light-sensitive. Her eyes were previously blue, but the color has been almost entirely leeched out of them, and they are now a milky shade with slight blue tones. She can see out of them, but not very well; she had perfect vision before, but it has stained her vision permanently. She sees about 20/100— what a normal people can see from 100 feet away, she can see from 20, and is thus nearsighted. Her hair is short, shoulder length, and was black prior to the illness. It also has had the color leeched out of it, but in an odd-way— it's a matte gray-ish color, with strong purple tones to it. The thing that draws the eyes, however, are the tendrils across her body. They're all over her head, interspursed with her hair, and trail down the back of her neck, forming three lines- two down her back on either side of her spine, and one on her spine directly, all stopping at the small of her back. These tendrils are between 1-2 feet long, prehensile, and tipped with a glowing orb, similar to an angler fish. At the base of her neck and on either of her spine slightly above the hips, she has two longer, thicker tendrils- 4 feet long, each, with squid-like suckers on them. These are prehensile and surprisingly strong; it's like all the muscle she had before has gone directly into these.

Personality

vDespite her recent appearance, Wisteria is a strong person. It's a subtle sort of strength- the kind of strength that comes from a strong sense of conviction and a deep emotional momentum. She knows what she is, and what she's doing, and there's nothing that can stand in the way of that.

She has a natural wisdom to her- it's more deep-seated then common sense. It's strongly benefited by a deep sense of logic, too— she thinks about everything, carefully, before doing anything. She considers what she does, and she makes sure she wants to do whatever she does for her own reasons, before she does them.

Which isn't to say that she cannot be slight, petty, or irrational- a deeply emotional person, she is capable of all of these things, and they have been known to color her logical perceptions. She'll do things that are petty, but she'll have deeply considered them before she does them, and will be sure that she actually does want to be petty.

She can be touchy and peevish, but usually these are surface distortions- it's hard to actually make her angry. IF you manage it, though, watch out: she can, and will, hold a grudge for years. She's fairly aloof, too, and keeps to herself, being rather reserved with strangers.

She's a very abstract person, which is surprising considering the deep logic and consideration that goes into everything about her. But her connections will be strange, and she'll occasionally seem like she's on a different plane of reality. She likes to admire simple things, and is more of a detail person then a big-picture person.

Strong, Wise, Deep, Touchy, deep-feeling, aloof, abstract, lonely.

Abilities

Tendrils! She has two different kinds, both of which are prehensile. The glow-tipped tendrils are smaller, between 1-2 inches in length. They are all over her scalp, evenly. They go downwards her neck, as interspersed, before breaking into three separate lines going down her back vertically: one on either side of her spine, and then more down her spine. She also has four thicker tendrils, with suction cups, which have a surprising amount of muscle behind them, and strength. One pair of them are at the base of her neck, and the other are on her back slightly above her hips.

History

Up until recently, Wisteria considered herself rather lucky.
Her family survived most of the disasters- they had previously lived at Telgar weyr, lower caverns workers. When the disasters struck and telgar was destroyed, they did not follow the dragonriders to Zaroth, instead going to monoco. Wisteria heard about a smaller holding established between the wherhall and monoco, and went herself to establish a life there- her family had enough holding at Monoco not to want to leave, but she was willing to take a risk and help out a Blue-stone. None of her family contracted the illness, and eventually came to think themselves immune- and also look down on those who survived but were.. affected.
For awhile, everything was good at Blue Stone… and then she came down with the illness. It ravaged her body, leaving her weak, and the healers insist that she came within a hair of death- they thought she was done for. But she pulled out of it, and began to develop the tendrils— neither of which was a fun development, especially considering her family's thoughts about those mutated.
She never got a chance to tell them, though, because a few weeks after she came out of the illness the hurricane hit.
No one was expecting the massacre.. even she has no idea how she got out. She doesn't remember the night very well.

Ether
Pink-Purple M Sphynx
Slightly disturbing to look at, Ether looks sort of like a cat gone wrong. He's about two feet long, with a vaguely feline body— his limbs are a little too long, and he's a bit too thin, but otherwise he looks the part. Except, you know, for the lack of fur- he has the same sort of hide that firelizards and dragons do, and all of his features seem a tad reptilian. His face, too, differs from a feline's— it's strangely flat, almost like a mask, with hints of planes where features ought to be. Two large eyes stare out of his face, and a mouth full of pointed teeth is usually twisted upwards in a grin. A long, pointed little nose juts out slightly above this mouth, and two pointed ears crown the top of his strange, flat head. Stranger still are the two tendrils jutting from his shoulders, where wings would be if he had them— they've got the same muscular base, and are completely prehensile, despite being long and thin. They are twice his length, ending in diamond-shape flaps of skin, the base of which give way to a long, wicked spike. This spike is actually full of acid. The diamond flaps continue over it, and are ringed around their base with pointed 'teeth'. His coloration is striking— a deep purple and a bright pink swirl across his hide in a dizzying dance of color— staring at him long enough can be hard to keep track of. The only break from the colorful chaos is his face, on which black and white intertwine stately, as if some jagged, multi-pointed yin-yang.
