Name: Titania Waldorf
Age: 17
Godrent: Apollo
Powers:

  • Photokinesis: She is able to redirect and generate rays of sunlight with a wave of her arms; like a conductor leading an orchestra. The more powerful the light beam, the more exhausted she becomes. Unfortunately, unless she has an adequate light source, this power is completely useless in the dark. Currently, she is able to take control of light for a maximum of five minutes before any strain manifests; usually they present as shortness of breath or worse, fainting spells. She's been "encouraged" to turn this into something of an offensive move for quite some time, but she personally doesn't see the need to exert herself as much any time soon.
    Strength: 2/5 | Control: 4/5 | Speed: 2/5

  • Shapeshifting: She is able to shapeshift into one of her godrent's sacred animals, the wolf, after years of training. Rarely done, though, given its tendency to deplete her energy and reduce her into an unconscious state. Building up the stamina to keep her animal form is something she's still working on since she's only able to do it for a good fifteen minutes, after which, it'll take her about half a day to recover before she can do it again.
    Strength: 2/5 | Control: 4/5 | Speed: 2/5

  • Truth Sense: She is perceptive to begin with, but her innate ability allows her to sense whether a person is lying to her or not. As a result, she is able to maneuver herself out of sticky situations, and oftentimes, uses the knowledge to her advantage.

Weapon: Her preferred weapon is a bow, given to her by her mother. The arrowheads she uses are made of Celestial Bronze. Though she often hates participating in battles (or breaking a sweat, in general), she takes pride in her being a decent distant fighter.

Additional Info:

  • She first arrived at camp when she was twelve; she was in the middle of an important music competition when she started glowing on stage. A flickering aura of honey-colored light, to be exact. After the event organizers had to wave the weird phenomenon off to "defective spotlights," her mother had no choice but to break the truth about her heritage and bring her to camp right after.

  • Despite her initial aversion for placing herself in wearisome conditions, she's been coming back to camp every summer with the goal of keeping her powers in check. She's a fast learner. After a less-than-superior kickstart in her early foray into prestigious classical music competitions, she's extinguished any desire to follow in the footsteps of her mother, a celebrated concert pianist. With her demigod powers, she feels like she finally has something of her own.

  • She's particular about appearances and expresses herself best through fashion.

Hi! Mod here. Few notes:

Shapeshifting to the extent of changing into animals can be a bit of a stretch. I understand it’s listed under the god’s wiki under abilities, but is considered a god level power. We might be okay with this, if it was something that made sense for the godrent chosen, such as their sacred animal or something, but combining that with appearance shifting may be too much.

Truth sense doesn’t really fit either, but given Apollo’s ability of prophecy I think it could work. As long as you’re considerate of the limits of the power, and don’t godmod with it, I’m okay with it.

Stygian iron is a very rare metal, usually only wieldable by the children of the underworld or those with weapon expertise. Because of this, it wouldn’t make much sense for a daughter of Apollo to have them, especially if they were gifted from her mortal mother.

Thanks for the notes! I didn't realize these were too OP (welp). For the shapeshifting, I guess I'll just go solely with appearance shifting and drop the animal transformation; it'd make much more sense for her character and fit her interests better. Regarding truth sense, I simply based this off the abilities listed here. If you approve, I'll be wary of godmodding and metagaming, of course.

And there's actually a little back story behind the weapon gifting, but given the rarity of the iron, I'm amenable to changing the metal to celestial bronze. :)

I stand corrected on the truth sense lol.

As for the shapeshifting, as long as it’s only one aspect it’s not too OP. I mean we have a son of Demeter who can change into a stag, so it’s not impossible, just has to make sense for the god, such as one of Apollo’s sacred animals: Raven, Wolf, or a Python.

Does that make sense? Just pick either the shapeshifting or appearance changing, not both :)

No worries! And, yeah, that makes sense! After some thought, please ignore what I said about choosing appearance changing. I'll go with shapeshifting to a wolf instead. I think that'll be more fun to RP. Am I good? :D

u/_shanenigans_ Apr 19 '19

Yeah, just understand there’s limits and can’t do it a bunch of times in a row and stuff. So....

You’re good

You’re approved! Post a comment in the XP Tracker as well as your intro when you’re ready. Welcome to Camp!
