Sofia has a warm and friendly personality at her core. She's got a bit of a wild streak going though and has an issue with order and authority. She's sassy and isn't afraid to let others see it. Anything deeper than the sass though, she keeps hidden unless, by some miracle, you manage to get close to her.
| Double Trouble |
| Not only is she the daughter of *two* Supreme Sorcerers, which means she's got more potential to be able to handle magic (though all humans are capable of it) but Sofia is also one-quarter Faltine which gives her innate magical abilities outside of spellcasting. It also gives her extra personal energies to draw from that are way beyond a normal human. Still, it is not even close to what a full blooded Faltine has. |
| Up! Up! And Away! |
| Sofi’s got innate magic and part of that allows her to levitate and fly. Sustaining it takes energy and if done for too long, she could run the risk of it failing while midair. Her speed during flight maxes out at the top speed of an olympian athlete unless aided by a spell. |
| I See Dead People |
| Another one of Sofia’s innate abilities lets her see and communicate with spirits. This made her time in New Orleans especially ‘fun’. She’s still learning how to turn it on and off so she often has unwanted ‘company’. |
| Water To Wine? |
| Drawing on personal energies, without the use of spellwork, Sofia is able to transmute things into other things. The bigger the item, the more concentration it takes and the longer it takes. It’s also more draining on her. Small things (marbles, coins, etc) or light things (feathers, a glass of liquid, cloth, etc) are easy assuming relative weight and proportion is kept. The heavier or larger the item, the more it drains her. At current, she isn't able to change anything larger than a floor planter and it can't weigh more than twenty-five pounds. She should rest for about two hours between changing things at her max limit and while she can do it in successions, she'd only be able to do it about four times in a row before passing out. Again, assuming weight and size is being proportionally kept. |
| Triple Threat |
Teleporting, Telepathy and Telekinesis… These three things she got fromher mother.
Telekinesis: Sofia has gotten pretty good at this by now. It's one of her more steady abilities. If she pushes her limit, she could lift a about 200 pounds but it could only be sustained for about two minutes at which point, she'd likely be rendered unconscious. Whatever she's moving must be within eyesight of her.
Telepathy: Sofi's telepathy comes and goes and she doesn’t always have control over it. Unless it's someone she's got a strong connection to and is very familiar with, they must be within eyesight of her. Her telepathy allows her to read a person's surface thoughts (she cannot go deeper than that yet), open a two way communication and press in 'suggestion' but she's not yet capable of full mind control.
Teleporting: This has yet to develop but will in time as she gains control. Spellwork will make it easier as well. In the beginning she will not be able to go more than a city block at a time and will need a few minutes of rest between 'jumps'. Consecutive jumps will drain her faster and she'll only be able to manage about a dozen before losing consciousness. |
| I Understood That |
| Due to moving around her entire life, Sofi has picked up bits and pieces of various languages such as German, Mandarin and Japanese. She speaks Spanish well enough to carry on a conversation, is almost fluent in French and can read, write and speak (pretty well) Latin. She’s still working on perfecting the last one. She sees to have a passion for the ‘dead’ languages. |
| Open Sesame |
| It should come as no surprise, given her attitude and issue with authority as well as her rebellious streak that Sofia fell in with the wrong crowd now and then. It wasn’t a total bust though. It did, after all, teach her how to pick a lock using various tools. |
| Wax On Wax Off |
| Over the years, Sofi has picked up bits and pieces of various martial art styles as well as a little kickboxing and good, old fashioned street fighting. |
| Manipulative Witch! |
Sofia, like her parents, has the ability to manipulate energy into an offensive force but gathering it and shooting it in the form of blasts or bolts. This, technically, can be done on the fly but drains her somewhat quickly. Once she learns how to store energy it’ll become easier for her.
In bolt form, the strength ranges anywhere from a high level taser, which could be sustained for about two hours to being struck by lightening which she can only hold for a few seconds before needing to rest for about ten minutes or so before she can fire off another bolt. The max is a fifteen second burst, after which she passes out.
As a blast, the impact ranges from being smack hard by a pillow to being hit by a battering ram. The latter can only be done four times in a row before she needs to rest for a little bit. At most, she can use the maximum blast half a dozen times before her energy is drained completely and she loses consciousness. |
| Girl Got Lucky! |
It’s taken over ten years but Sofia has managed to stumble upon a few spells, here and there, that actually work. These spells take very little one the way of personal energy and are easily cast. At the current, her arsenal is comprised of: A Healing Spell, Minor Weather Manipulation (that can be somewhat draining), Amnesia (only used if there’s little other choice), Minor Elemental Control and Conjuring (the most draining spell she has) and Illusions (the longer they’re sustained, the more it drains her).
Healing: Right now, Sofia can easily heal things such as minor cuts, scrapes, burns, bruising, etc almost instantly. Larger or deeper gashes (such that would need stitches), twists, sprains, and fractures take a few seconds. Anything along the lines of broken bones or serious internal injury is outside what she's capable of currently.
Weather Manipulation: At her top range, Sofi might possibly be able to shift the weather of a city the size of Dayton, OH. but it would come at great personal cost and would immediate render her unconscious for at least a day. However, shifting the weather of a few city blocks only makes her feel a little sluggish until she's able to eat and replenish her strength and energy.
Amnesia: This only works on people in the same room or her line of sight and she tries to find any other possible choice first (this is a consent based spell and will never be forced on a character).
Illusions: Through the manipulation of mystical energy, Sofia is able to summon illusions that seem completely real to all senses except touch. Unless she's focusing on a single being(s), any who come into 'contact' with one of her illusions is able to see/smell/hear it. A single, standard human sized illusion can be held for fifteen minutes at most. Something the size of a semi can only be held for five minutes while something the size of a cat or large dog can be held for about twenty. After this, she will need a few hours to recover her energy before attempting anything that strong again.
Elemental Control & Conjuring: The element of Earth is currently outside of Sofia's abilities. She can create and direct a small zephyr of wind but little else. With water, she can fill a glass, create small waves and summon a sphere of water to her hands. Fire, however, is the easiest for her to control and with it, she can conjure a fireball, light a fireplace, heat a small (200sq. ft. x 200sq. ft.) room and boil liquids. |
| Itty Bitty Living Space |
| Going to school mostly on scholarships and federal aid, Sofia was able to secure a small studio apartment not too terribly far from Gotham U where she goes to school. It’s not much but it’s home. As long as she can continue to make rent and utilities. |
| Knowledge Is Power |
| Sofia is a full-time student at Gotham U which gives her access to various Professors for information if need be as well as the school’s library and internet access if she needs it. |
| Java! Java! Java! |
| One of the first things Sofia did upon arriving in Gotham was secure a job. She works at a small cafe near Gotham U. It isn’t much, but it’s enough that she was able to secure a small apartment and keep things paid while going to school. |
| Hold Your Tongue? |
| Sofia’s sassy and mouthy and has an attitude that she isn’t afraid to show. Quite often, this can land her in trouble. Sometimes, trouble a bit over her head. |
| I Do What I Want! |
| On top of her attitude, Sofia has a real issue with authority. She doesn’t like being told what to do or have someone make the decisions for her and she will push back hard and fast on anyone who tries. Needless to say, this can cause her some serious issues. Especially at work and school. |
| Magical Mumbojumbo |
| Sofia has never had a true teacher in the mystical arts. She’s gleaned a few true bits here and there but most of what she knows about the ‘occult’ comes New Age bookstores and the Internet. This means she knows very little in the way of how it all actually works. |
| Do I Look Like A Tree!? |
| Because she was moved around a lot for the better portion of her life, Sofia has no roots to speak of. Nothing to really keep her grounded and nowhere to call home. This means she never really stayed in one place long enough to develop any really connections and the lack of that has impacted her ability to socialize and ‘fit in’. She keeps people at a distance because of this. |
| Magical Train Wreck |
| While Sofia isn’t known to be extremely emotional, she does have them and they tend to run deep. She’s a passionate young woman. Unfortunately, at times, her magic reacts to her emotions whether she wants it to or not and things can get out of hand. |
| The Energizer Bunny? |
| Magic takes energy. Intentional, skilled and practiced use of magic can be somewhat draining. Non-trained or emotional use of magic can be *very* draining and Sofia doesn’t know how to properly recharge her ‘batteries’. Unfortunately for her, she enjoys using magic and will often push herself past what she should. This can leave her quite vulnerable at times. Especially if she pushes to the point of passing out. |
| Pg? Hardly! |
| Sofia doesn’t know either of her parents. She knows nothing of her history or where they’re from… Or where they are. Anytime she would ask, she’d get in trouble. Eventually, she quite asking and just assumed neither wanted her. This led to a bit of a wild and rebellious streak in the young woman as well as a complex and a lot of self-worth issues. |
