Position: Evil Person, Rank: 4th
Age: 15
Appearance:
General: Sha has a very nonconforming
hair to her, and her step is always one hip, then the other, then the first,
etc. She doesn’t seem to be someone easily tamed or quickly fallen
in battle, she seems to be confident, perhaps even over-confident, proud,
and a little bit regal, almost. But she also seems obsessed with
herself, with the way she walks, examining herself every so often.
She just holds her head up high, her chest a little puffed out and her
back fairly straight.
Face: Sha’s face is quite round,
but also a little vertically challenged. It ends in a sharp point,
her jawbones soft on the sides. Her features are a little clustered
in the centre, her lips are brought up rather close to the nose there’s
a sort of margin on all sides of her features.
Features: Bright blue eyes, more
round than ovular, positioned above the crosshairs of the horizontal centre,
the eyes constantly winking or with an inner shine or fire. Her eyebrows
look like comets, going from the front edge of her eye to just before her
lashes fly out. Sha’s nose is small and pointed, with a little silver
ball on the right side of her nose. Her mouth is small but her lips
are well pronounced and often red. She somehow managed to salvage
a bunch of lipstick, which she wears nearly every day. Sha
also has her ears pierced, her right only once (in the lobe) and her left
three times; twice in the cartilage, once in the lobe. The earrings
are matching hematite stars hanging from hematite balls on the lobes and
her other two are two silver balls attached with a thin silver chain.
Her skin tone is soft, though tends to tan somewhat easily.
Hair: Sha has pumpkin orange hair,
frizzy all through, coming down a little past her shoulders. Her
bangs fall just above her eyebrows. She always wears it plainly down
and likes it to be frizzy, but it tends to have a sort of rough shine to
it.
Height: 4’9”
Weight: 82 lbs.
Voice: A heavy Brooklyn accent is
the first thing that comes across. She tends to chew like a diner
waitress when she’s eating and talk through that as well. Sha tends
also to use New York words and phrases, like “Shaddap” and “Fagedaboutit.”
Her voice is an alto and rather smooth, not scratchy like one would think
for someone who had lived in smoke and smog for so long.
Dress: Sha has a very different
look – the biker girl look. Armed with a black tube top under a most-commonly-seen-open
leather vest. The vest has no pockets, and it looks more like a blazer
at the top. It has snaps running down the edges, which can be snapped
if she so desires. On the bottom of the vest, however, is something
seen only to bikers and their breed of fashion; the belt that goes all
the way around and can actually buckle. Her pants are very low riding
ones, just hanging on her hips at the top. There is a belt around
there, which actually is buckled at nearly all times. Her pants are
long black jeans that reach down to her ankles, but they may actually go
lower due to another odd thing with belts in these jeans; she has belts
around her knees. Well, not actually ON the knees, on the right it’s
under the knee, the left is above, but the principal remains the same.
They do take up a little slack above them. Sha’s shoes are black high heels,
and ever-so-slight platforms. Holding the sole to the foot are three
bands of black shiny fabric; one over the toe knuckles, the second over
the ankle and the third joining the back of the foot with that ankle strap.
Her accessories are described in other.
Other: Sha wears an assortment of
jewelry; a ring, 5 earrings, a choker and an armband. Note that only 4
of these earrings are in her ears, the fifth is a belly button ring.
Her ear earrings were described in her features section, but her belly
button ring isn’t a ring at all; it’s a small silver ball that hangs out
in her “outie” belly button (no pun intended). Her left middle finger
bears a plain silver band while the band on her arm, though plain, is made
out of hematite. Her choker is a string of circular hematite beads,
which joins at the back of the neck and can be taken off, if Sha ever really
wants to.
Hobbies: She is often times found playing with rocks; levitating them, changing their shape, color texture, even what kind of rock they are. Other than that, she tends to do whatever she wants. She doesn’t tend to conform to the rules of places, she just goes in and however long later, she’ll come out and have whatever it is that she wanted. She sometimes will actually take the time to try and mine gems or different types of rocks, but not often. At least not any more.
Likes: Rocks, gemstones, jewelry, having something to do, being herself, playing with rocks, scaring/freaking out people while playing with rocks.
Dislikes: The Crystal, people insulting her fashion, people yelling at her for eating in a different way, people who faun over her for no real reason (she finds it weird to just have people following you around without from solid reasoning).
Strengths: Sha is very strong, strong willed and determined and tends not to back down for anything unless she has no chance at all, in which case she would run away as fast as she could. She has also learned how to use a belt as a whip and can use the buckle as the handle or the strap part. She can sometimes grab things with this, but it isn’t too terribly often. Another things about Sha is that she can pick up any rock, or break through any rock, so long as she has enough magic left in her.
Weaknesses: Sha tends to be idiotic and has a very short attention span. She is also very quick to anger from any one. And the way she chews her food is likely to just irritate more people than make them happy. Her fashion also tends to hinder her running, many times.
Personality: Sha is very outgoing and willing to befriend just about anyone, but she is also very hard-headed and likes things done her way or not at all. She tends to take people by first impression, and keep that impression with her as long as she knows that person and can remember them. She tends to be quite idiotic many times, taking things that are foreign compliments as insults, and being quite blunt about it. She doesn’t like to be a happy, smiling person all the time, especially around people she’s suspicious of. She tends to take on a dark, staying-to-the-shadows personality at that point, not talking much, but watching the person constantly, intent on finding out how suspicious they are. But Sha just tends to be thick at times; completely oblivious to people other than those she’s arguing with, and very picky. She’s also a bit overly possessive of things that she finds and refuses to give them back if someone asks for them.
Lives: Sha used to live in a small village with her parents, which farmed and grew all it’s own food. But when the Crystal had shattered, one of the spokes was just barely above crashing. One day, it fell. She had been far away and escaped the total annihilation of the village. It was relatively close to the palace, and one of the pieces had come crashing down upon the village. Sha currently resides in the ruins, always going to that fallen spire when she feels very lonely, hoping for her family and neighbors to comfort her. But Sha sometimes goes out and wanders aimlessly, not looking to go anywhere, but just take in the world outside the workings in the ruins.
History: Sha doesn’t remember her
childhood too well, but she does remember having lots of people her age
to play with and having lots of fun and laughs. She remembers the
big piece of crystal always hanging over them, as if it were protecting
them all. She remembers having to go out and get some things for
the village that they could only get out in town, waving good-bye to her
family, smiling cheerily as she left. She didn’t hear it fall, but
when people looked over to the ruins and saw another of the spires had
fallen, Sha ran back home, to see if anyone had survived. No one
had. People were crushed under the sheer size and weight of the spire.
She could climb up on top of it and see the faces of people she’d known
through the transparent stone. She cursed the senshi for letting
her parents die and vowed to kill them as well. She saw a deep blackness
inside the ruins calling to her. She heard a voice swell up in her
mind and tell her of how she could kill the senshi, if she followed this
woman’s word and example and helped her execute the senshi, fulfilling
both their desires.
Sha quickly accepted and felt a
magic bubble through her blood, and knew she could lift the spire if she
wanted now, but also knew it couldn’t save anyone. She retreated
into the ruins and lived there for quite a while, and as her powers grew,
she was promoted higher and higher, until she reached the rank of fourth.
She is now ready to go out and battle those senshi, kill them, so that
her loved ones may be avenged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Villain Stuff
Why did they become a villain? Her parents were killed when the piece of the palace fell due to Crystal’s shattering, and she always blamed the senshi of the past for having control of it and letting it fall and kill her parents. She thinks if these new senshi some how get the Crystal again, they’ll just ruin more people’s lives.
Power: Rocks/Stones
Spells:
Spell 1: “Stone's Metamorphosis!”
This is Sha’s transformation phrase, to become her higher-powered, differently-dressed
bad self. She raises both her hands up and calls out her phrase,
closing her eyes and quickly her mouth as well, as her silver ring seems
almost to melt into quicksilver, covering Sha completely as it works its
way down her body. When it reaches her toes, a few drips come down
off and then the whole silver piece turns into a hematite bodysuit, keeping
her stuck in that position. She suddenly opens her eyes, cracking
the space in front open and running fissures through the whole of her face.
The stone on her face smashes open and she shakes her head, her hair shaking
pieces out which come back up and make a hematite ponytail holder, holding
half of her hair up. Some of the other shards form her earrings.
Her top two left earrings seem to have gone untouched by the hematite,
still gleaming silver with a chain hanging in between. She rolls her head
around on her neck as cracks run through that and shatter it, leaving behind
the high collar of a dress and the three chokers formed out of shards as
well. Sha then shifts her shoulders quickly, splintering the cover and
revealing the sleeveless dark grey dress she has on, or at least the beginning
of it. She shakes her hips once and the whole dress up to her hips is very
tight, but does have breathing room to it. A little back-forth motion
of her hips and what else is there, but her belt. She moves her arms
out to her sides, shattering the hematite and showing off her “gloves.”
She picks her left knee up (viewer’s right) and shatters that leg, revealing
its cover as she picks up her right knee (viewer’s left) and gives an instep
(“shoelace”, uses that part of the foot, comes straight up from the knee)
kick to the air in front of her. She places both feet on the ground in
a semi-wide stance, her feet wider than her shoulders.
Spell 2: “Gravel Cage!” Shaman takes
off the middle choker and sets it in a circle on the ground. She
points to her victim and whispers “Gravel.” The necklace slides over by
the target, and makes as full a circle around their feet as it can.
The rocks then slide out of the choker and evenly space themselves in a
circle. They move out to encompass the whole person. At this point,
if the person notices the small stones and kicks them, the stone pillars
of the cage there will be wherever they kicked them. “Cage!” Shaman
shouts and the stones rise up into pillars around the person, or wherever
the stones are. The pillars can be smashed fairly easily, after two
or three physical hits they will break, and after one to two magical hits
(depending on their potency).
Spell 3: “Earth Shatter!”
Sha takes one of the gems from in her gloves and cups it in her hands.
She raises them above her head and the gem grows to fill her cupped hands.
She drops it and cries out the incantation. The gem remains intact
as well as a 2-ft. radius of ground. Another 6 feet or so out, the
ground explodes up and comes down in loose, sometimes large, pieces.
If you don’t have anything to shield, you’d better watch out because some
pieces may be sharp and cut you a lot... many pieces, if not all, actually,
will be sharp. Unless you move the gem or she runs out of gems or
you somehow manage to smash the larger gem before she can shout the incantation,
the attack will be useless.
Spell 4: Well, it’s not really a
spell, but as mentioned in her hobbies, she can change the size, shape,
color, texture and even material that a rock is made out of. She
will often use a large boulder as a last-ditch before she turns her heel
and runs.
Note about Shaman’s magic: It has a very poor quality when she or her subject is off the ground (in a tree, floating, etc.). She does best when both are steady on the ground, where she is more in contact with the rock underneath. She usually tries to have both on the ground, but when she can’t she tries to run away or make that 4th-spell-last-ditch-effort.
Outfit: Starting at the top: Half
of Sha’s hair is held up with a hematite band, the other half let down.
Her earrings are the same as before, but the stars are now crescent moons.
Her dress is a sleeveless ankle-length one with slits up the sides, and
a high collar, one that can touch her jaw. Also note that in the
back of this dress there is a circular hole cut out of the back, showing
her shoulder blades and a black gem embedded in between them. This gem
has actually been there ever since she joined the Empress, but it’s always
been hiding (under her tube top and/or jacket). All the way up to the belt
comes the slit, which is a plain white belt around her waist, or a little
above. At the collar are three chokers; the two on the outer sides
are made of hematite and the middle one is made of onyx. They can all be
taken off at the back, but Sha doesn’t tend to like to unless she has to
for a spell or something of the like. Over her forearms (elbow to
wrist, also covering up to the second knuckle in each finger) are a sort
of mummy wrapping gloves, with gems embedded in the wrappings, mostly just
onyx and hematite, but some others as well. Under her dress, Sha
wears a pair of black pants; they’re actually more like shorts or capris,
but whatever, that come down to the middle of her thighs. On the
ends of them are black strings with stones in knots in them. Her
boots have the same thing, but are made out of black vinyl and come up
just below the knee with a rounded toe and higher heel and platform. Her
hematite armband has stayed behind as well.

Writing Sample: I don’t wanna. I’m a GM. Make me. You can’t! *cackle* Ahem. Yes.
Other: Sha prefers to be called Shaman
when in her villain state.
