NAME: Theia Kalista Skandalakus

ALIAS: Oricle

MUTATION (POWERS): Precognition.  Theia "sees" things before they happen, but only up to about 10 seconds before they do.  She consistently sees the actions of people before they carry them out, but rarely sees anything that is not directly connected to the action of someone who is within her immediate "view."  The timing of her "sight" is not always consistent, as what Theia "sees" is not so much the action itself as the decision to act. It is possible for her to view the actions of a person or animal in real time if they are making rapid decisions or acting on instinct. She also has a few physical mutations, her eyes are completely white, she has no apparent retina or pupil, and she is nearly blind.  Almost any amount of light hurts her eyes so she constantly keeps them covered by either sunglasses or a blindfold.  She also she has unnaturally pale skin (almost albino-looking) and consequently burns very easily. The other manifestation of her mutation is that she sometimes has dreams that are forewarning of things to come. This however is extremely rare.

AGE: 15

DESCRIPTION OF BODY (BUILD, HEIGHT, UNIQUE FEATURES, ETC.): Theia is about 5'5" and slender.  She has unnaturally pale (almost but not quite albino) skin and dark brown hair. Her eyes are entirely white with no apparent retina or pupil.

HAIR COLOR AND STYLE: Her hair is dark brown and long, cascading down her back in tight ringlets.

EYE COLOR: White with no apparent retina or pupil.

RELATIVES: A big Greek family. Mother and father, and older and a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lots of aunts and uncles and cousins, several sets of “grandparents” as well.

ETHNICITY: American, Greek decent.

HISTORY: Theia was born nearly blind with no discernible retinas or pupils and unnaturally pale. At the age of twelve she thought her vision was beginning to improve, but it didn't take long for her to realize that she could only see people, usually not objects, and people's actions didn't seem to “sync up.” She realized that she wasn't really seeing with her eyes, but she knew what people were going to do about 10 seconds before they acted. Other than being blind and seeing things before they happen, Theia lived a relatively normal life. It wasn't until a few months ago when she had a dream that came true exactly as she'd dreamed it that it occurred to her to enroll in a school specifically for mutants in order to see if she could develop and harness her abilities.

ANY SERIOUS PHYSICAL OR MENTAL CONDITIONS: Virtually blind, almost any amount of light hurts her eyes, sunburns exceptionally easily.

HOBBIES: Painting, Theia sometimes dims her room as much as possible and uses her hands and acrylic paints on canvas. All her artwork is abstract, not that she could paint realism with her sight. She also enjoys crocheting, it's something to keep her hands occupied, and reading as well, though she only has a few books since books in Bail are more expensive and harder to find.

PERSONALITY: Theia is fairly outgoing, independent, and very whimsical. She likes making people laugh and “seeing the smile in their voices.” She's not just a people-pleaser though, she doesn't like being talked down to or babied because she's blind.

ANY PETS: Her seeing-eye dog, a German Shepherd named Cerberus.

OTHER:

WEAKNESSES: Legally blind, easily sunburnt

2012-10-24 [NOOOPE]: Wow, there are a lot of blind, white eyed girls at this school...

2012-10-24 [~Valkyrie~]: Isabelle has blue eyes as far as I know, and I'm pretty sure she's just plain blind, and I don't believe it's part of her mutation. The white eyes is part of her mutation, probably the blindness too.

2013-07-20 [Elwyne]: hrmm... for the sunburn skin, if she goes out she's likely to wear a hood or hat and cover her skin as much as possible right? Any favorite colors (as in to wear)?

2013-07-20 [Elwyne]: just a comment here, I bet the 10 seconds future sight makes her really killer at dodging before she can get hit in a fight.

2013-07-20 [~Valkyrie~]: Yeah, big floppy hats. As far as colours go, I like white for her. Maybe green too.

Yeah, it does, but I guess I should have noted that it's up to 10 seconds. What she sees is the decision to act (be it conscious or subconscious), which means if they don't decide to do something until 5 seconds before they follow through, she only sees them act 5 seconds ahead.

2013-07-20 [Elwyne]: ah, well it still makes sense to me that way. Ok, I'll give a shot to drawing her. I'm a little out of practice, so getting her down might take me a while. I can use my own floppy hat as a reference, and I imagine her looking with the white eyes over the top of the sunglasses. I'll play around with the clothes. Not used to doing modern clothing, so I'll just see what works.

2013-07-20 [~Valkyrie~]: Ooh, that could be cool. Just have fun with it, we'll see what happens. :)

2013-07-22 [Elwyne]: ok, I drew something. It looks pretty good I think. Might look a bit like me, since I had to use myself as a model. Tried to change the shapes a little so it wouldn't be too close. Never done tight curls before, but I don't think that came out too bad... will have to check after the inking and coloring though. 

2013-07-22 [~Valkyrie~]: Cool. :) I can't wait to see it.

2013-07-22 [Elwyne]: curls are hard! I swear I've already spent more than just a couple of hours trying to get these right. Oh well... it's good to try something new, I just hope it doesn't come out badly. Hope you don't mind dark green, I thought it would balance out the white. Though white is going to be the main color.

2013-07-22 [~Valkyrie~]: It's alright, you're experimenting. :) Dark green sounds nice.

2013-07-22 [Elwyne]: (deep breath and an even deeper stretch) Ugh! I'm finally all finished. I think it looks pretty good, considering. But my back is killing me. Oh well... it might be a while before I can scan it. My family hates me right now, so I have to wait until they're in a better mood before I make an attempt to ask Mom if I can use the scanner. I swear I can't do anything right around them. No matter how hard I try, even doing all the chores I do for them it's never enough.
