Nat is a child at heart, but she doesn't act like it. Having never had a proper home, Nat doesn't know what it's like to call a place home. So use to moving around, living out of a suitcase, she isn't use to something as stable as camp half blood. Still, she must admit-she does like it. Especially because of how desperate for a group she can call a family. Feeling lost and isolated, Nat wants to know what it feels like how to belong and acceptance. But she also wants something permanent, not something temporary. Nat isn't for here for a one night stand or hanging out once a year-no, she needs something consistent. Of course, she kind of already knows what it's like. All her previous incantations had it, so she know how...satisfied they were with life. But she wants to know how it feels herself.
Nat is also very versatile. She's the type of person to like everything and never have a preference. She loves summer, sunbathing and swimming, but also loves winter and snow. However, she is a minimalist and doesn't like spending her money on frivolous things. She buys only the necessary things that she needs. It also means her clothes are...lacking. One jacket, a few tops, a few different pants and two shoes. That's the size of her wardrobe. It also means that she's very good at budgeting and saving things. Organised. Nat isn't logical, though, and is a dreamer.
It took five years for Natalia to reach Russia then six years too reach Greece and another seven to reach America then one year to reach camp half blood. Natalia, who quickly went by Nike, didn't intend for her journey too be that long or so international and she blames her father and outside sources for it. Her father was a daytime actor, specialising in soap operas. However, this wasn't how he met Natalia's mother. Well, kind of wasn't. Xiaoming was at a bar with his long time girlfriend who he had met through work. Not only was she his girlfriend, she was also his on screen daughter. Obviously, their relationship caused a little scandal in the Chinese media. However, both were of age and the gap was only a decade. Xiaoming didn't plan too cheat on her, of course, and it sort of just happened. His girlfriend had left early due to a small argument and Xiaoming was situated at the bar for the next hour or so. It was here that he met Psyche.
Xiaoming failed to tell him that he was a taken man but Psyche probably already knew this when he met him. Still, by the next morning, Natalia had been conceived under a drunken stupor. Naturally, neither of them saw each other again after this night and Xiaoming moved on with his life, sparing his girlfriend from the knowledge of his infidelity. However, her ignorance was short lived when three months later, a little baby girl turned up at their door. By this time they had moved in together and Xiaoming was even planning his proposal. Of course, there was a small note tucked into the silk blanket that was wrapped around Natalia. In it, it described the child as Xiaoming's. The child caused a rift between Xiaoming and his girlfriend, especially as it revealed his one night stand. His infidelity.
The pair took the baby into their household, naming her Shun Nian Zhen. However, the relationship broke down and the house descended into constant arguing. Zhen would have been neglected and starved if it wasn't for the fact that they could afford a team of nannies. By Zhen's first year, the girlfriend had begun to move out, breaking up with him and destroying his reputation in the media. With his reputation a mess, Xiaoming found himself losing jobs, even minor roles, something that had never happened before. So he decided his best option was too leave China behind and travel west, into Russia. To ensure he didn't get recognised, he changed both his own and his daughter's names. It was here that Zhen became Natalia. Settling in St. Petersburg, Xiaoming worked in a hotel. Mostly, though, they relied on his savings. However, Xiaoming was terrible at budgeting and saving money and by the time Nike was five, they were broke with Xiaoming losing his job. However, by this time, the father and daughter had bonded and he had finally taken his role as her father seriously.
Xiaoming was desperate to give his daughter a good life. Which was why, at age seven, which was after two years of evictions and squatting, Xiaoming decided his best option was to give her up. Put her up for adoption in hopes someone else will be able to take care of her better than he can. It didn't take long for someone to take her in and Nike said goodbye too her father for the last time. To this day, Nike still resents her father for giving her up. Loving him, she would have rathered the streets than losing him. Maybe it was unrealistic and unfair to hold a grudge but humans were never fair. The couple that took Nike in was an old Russian couple who were children of revolutionaries. Their own parents had been sent to labour camps by Stalin and they grew up struggling to survive under Russia's harsh conditions. The mother was infertile and they never had kids until they were sixty. It appeared that both went through a mid life crisis and decided too adopt. Thus Natalia suddenly became Natalia Vasilieva.
It was with them that she experienced her first monster attack. Unbeknownst to Nike, of course, but both her adopted parents were demigods. The father a son of Ares whilst his wife was the daughter to Poseidon. Mixed in with the daughter of Psyche, their scent was strong and attractive to monsters. Even the minotaur. On Christmas eve, it attacked. Though Nike managed to escape and run, under the encouragement of both parents, the elderly couple were quickly killed, too old to be able to fight off the monster. The mortals declared a car had run into the house and killed all three. Nike was lost by then. She hadn't stopped running. For the next year, Nike was on the streets, barely surviving. When she was eleven, she had developed hypothermia and was found unconscious on the streets. Taken too hospital, Nike entered the system once again. However, this time, she was adopted by a pair who, within the next six months, dragged Nike off too Greece.
Nike wasn't use too Greece. She went from the blistering cold to a climate that was hot every day, even in Winter. It took Nike a while too adjust to the new climate but when she did, she fell in love with it. She loved swimming. She loved the dirt. She loved going too school, even with her dyslexia, and was over the moon that she'd gotten out of Russia. The one flaw in her life, though, was her adopted siblings. One younger brother and a sister around the same age as her. Younger by four months. Neither liked Nike's intrusion on their family and made a point for Nike to know this. Though the adopted parents were kind too her, they turned a blind eye too how she was being treated by their other children.
Being in the homeland of Greek monsters, Nike was attacked periodically but through sheer luck, she managed to fight and escape them all. Nike had been taught boxing and fencing by her adopted father and it helped her survive the different attacks. Nike wasn't sure what was happening too her but she ran with it. When she was fifteen, she had convinced herself she was having hallucinations. Nike kept all of this too herself, though, not wanting too bring even more insults and jabs from the siblings. Nike had stooped so low to call herself Cinderalla with a nice step mum and without the slavery. Nike's life shifted again when she was seventeen. By then, she was in her final year at high school and was going okay. She had a social group, a boyfriend who she didn't really love but was nice company, and her siblings had given up on terrorising her. Once again, her caretaker(s) had run out of money. The mother was the primary bread winner but lost her job due to the business downsizing. Unlike her dad, though, they didn't give Nike up to the state. Instead, they sent their children too New York to live with their rich aunt on their mother's side.
Nike couldn't lie that she felt rather smug when her and the two gremlins experienced their first New York winter. Nike still remembered Russia and found herself easily getting use too the bitter snow in the big apple. Her siblings, however, struggled. Hard. Whilst they could barely leave the house, Nike was ice skating in Central park. Was she petty? Yes. It was during those nights and afternoon that she spent on the rink, that she was discovered by a satyr. It was then that she found out about the Greek gods and that the myths were, essentially, all true. She was offered a path to camp half blood but...she turned them down. Nike, though didn't like being stuck with her siblings, didn't want too leave them. They were the closest thing she had too family and she was sick of moving around.
When she was just on the verge of turning eighteen, she was framed. For her brother's suicide. Unbeknownst to everyone in the family, even the other sister, the brother had descended into depression because of the move and failed too reach out for help. Thus, ending in suicide through a bullet in the head. The sister, refusing too believe her brother would stoop so low, came up with a plot. That would get rid of Nike–forever. Being the one too find the brother, the sister burnt the note, and shifted the scene around too make it look like a murder scene. It wasn't long for fingers too point towards Nike, the bullied adopted sister. Realising her time with this family was up, Nike ran and called the number the satyr left her and begged to go to the camp. One week later, she was watching the orientation film. Of course, by then, the police had figured out it was suicide and her name was cleared, with the sister being arrested. However, by then, Nike was hesitant to go back. Not after what had happened.
Offensive[]
- Children of Psyche can apply temporary symptoms of emotional and mental disorders of their choice upon a target. The harsher the symptom and the longer it lasts, the more energy drained.
- Children of Psyche can create telekinetic weaponry (no bigger than 2-3 times the size of the user) that can be used in combat for a short time. The longer the weaponry is held together by the demigod's mind, the more energy drained. This can also be used for non-combative objects; however, it cannot generate working parts. Objects created by a child of Psyche may cause slight confusion on anyone who touches it.
Defensive[]
- Children of Psyche can form telekinetic protective spheres around themselves and others for a limited amount of time. The longer the sphere is held together by the demigod's mind, the more energy drained. Likewise, they can form telekinetic shields or walls, which are no bigger than 2-3 times their size.
- Children of Psyche can project a powerful psychic aura that induces neurocognitive deficit within a 3-meter radius. Anyone affected will have their upper brain functions shut down, rendering them unconscious. However, the user cannot attack or use other abilities while this one is in effect. All targets affected will automatically wake up, albeit feeling groggy and slightly disoriented, after a short time and the aura can only affect a person once a fight.
Passive[]
- Children of Psyche possess a clearer state of mind that grants them a high resistance for any manipulation of their thoughts, emotions and desires, magical or not. They also have a resistance against any mental or emotional disorders.
- Children of Psyche have a clear view of others' auras, allowing to sense human beings through their thoughts and emotions. They can track anyone within their "psychic radar" of sorts as long as the target is within a moderate radius. The appearance of one's aura differs from another, taking on a unique color and form. This passive ability also allows them to detect people who are possessed or whose mental/emotional state is altered by supernatural means (eidolons, charmspeak, persuasion, etc.).
- Children of Psyche are able to communicate with and command butterflies. If the user gives too many commands, the butterflies will become frustrated and disobey.
- Children of Psyche are empowered by the increasing intensity of emotions and thought processes around them.
- Children of Psyche can perform complex mental operations and recall greater amounts of information far beyond the capability of a normal human mind with little effort.
Supplementary[]
- Children of Psyche are able to read, manipulate, and communicate with the thoughts, emotions, and desires of targets for a limited time. They may establish mental links to at most 5 people; however, the connection will begin tapering off within a moderate radius. The more extreme the change, the longer it lasts, and the more people affected, the more energy is drained. Reading an opponent’s thoughts can be done, but it can only be done a few times before the user starts reading them incorrectly.
- Children of Psyche are able to mentally move inanimate objects. However, they cannot move objects that are 2-3 times bigger than their size. The bigger the object and/or the larger the distance covered, the more energy is drained.
- Children of Psyche are able to sprout butterfly wings that appear in accordance with the user’s preference. The longer they maintain the wings sprouted, the more energy it drains. The user must also rest in-between flights and cannot travel over long distances without resting often. Lastly, the wings are vulnerable to injuries and magic so these must be repaired regularly.
- Children of Psyche are able to manipulate mental, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral conditions at will. They can relieve, intensify, or detect symptoms of disorders such as depression, anxiety, amnesia, or mania; and even influence one's upper mental functions such as concentration, coordination, judgement, and calculation. However, these changes cannot be intensified to the point that the target considers self harm. The changes are only effective for a short period of time and cannot be used to cure or create such conditions on a permanent basis. The larger the change in one's mental state, the more energy is drained.
After 3 Months[]
- Children of Psyche can cause its target to mentally collapse by reliving traumatic memories, experiencing hallucinations or an overwhelming amount of emotions, hearing voices, and/or find it difficult to make use of their memories. The victim may fall into madness or become catatonic for a few minutes, depending on the intensity the user desires, before reverting to their original state, but its mind cannot be permanently damaged. The victim may still be able to resist attacks in this state, albeit barely. The longer the user keeps the victim psychologically tortured, the more energy it drains them.
After 6 Months[]
- Children of Psyche can now take control over a person's mind. They can force actions upon a target (except harming themselves) and even probe deeper into the person's subconscious and memories. The target will remain under control for a few minutes or until control is relinquished; and the longer the control is kept, the more energy it drains. Being controlled feels like a dream and will be vaguely remembered. This ability is quite useful for intelligence-gathering, retrieving lost memories, and when controlling allies who are otherwise immobilized.
After 9 Months[]
- Children of Psyche are able to use psychic force to materialize their soul into 5-6 semi-living constructs, no larger than 2 to 3 times the size of the user, that lasts for a short time to fight for the user. The construct's appearance is in accordance to the user's personality, thoughts, and emotions; and will behave in a manner similar to its owner. The longer the constructs are held together by the demigod's mind, the more energy drained.
Traits[]
- Children of Psyche are often able to recognize soul-mates when they are together. However, they cannot see their own soul-mate in this way.
- Children of Psyche are naturally emphatic. Although fully aware of the desires, emotions, and thoughts around them, they are often unaware of their own.
- Children of Psyche know the previous incarnations of their soul well, along with the occupant's thoughts, emotions, and desires.
- Children of Psyche often excel in professions with a high affinity for the human mind and behavior such as psychiatry, neurology, behavioral sciences, counseling, and social work.
- Children of Psyche are known for their emotional endurance, beauty, passion, affection, and even intelligence. It is not uncommon for them to possess high levels of IQ or EQ.
- Children of Psyche often get along well with Eros' and Zephyrus' offspring. Likewise, animosity is usual among them and the children of Aphrodite.
