POWERS & ABILITIES: Shiloh’s left eye has the ability to draw out the fears and worst memories of any human she makes eye contact with, and some supernatural beings (depending on their strength level). It can also sense supernatural presence, but usually only strong ones (if she’s wearing her barrier)
She doesn’t have much control over this ability so she has to wear a special eye patch with a barrier seal on it to keep it under control. There are times when she can go without wearing it, but it’s usually around people she completely trusts as it activates on her emotion and responds well with strong feelings of anger or fear.
• • AN ANGEL WHISPERS MY NAME,
personal record
FAMILY:
FATHER: Eric
MOTHER: Susan
HISTORY:
Shiloh's ordeal began when she was the tender age of 7, she was at home with her parents just like any other ordinary night. They had finished dinner and were spending time together in the living room, she had been playing on the floor telling her parents everything she had been doing that day as they sat back and watched her expressing how proud they were of her little 'adventures'.
Then there had been an odd loud bang from the second floor of the house which alarmed her parents. Her father cautiously told her mother to stay in the living room while he went to see what the noise had been. Her mother stayed calm and distracted Shiloh so that she wouldn't worry about the noise since she was sure that it was probably nothing, but she was proven wrong by the blood curdling scream of her father that came from upstairs.
Shiloh's mother quickly seized her from off the floor and carried her outside as she ran from whatever was in the house, but it was a vain attempt as the thing was chasing them in no time. Before they could even get off the property it attacked and killed her mother. Not knowing if it would come back she had stayed cradled in her dead mother’s arm until she thought the thing had left, but once she had freed herself and started wandering across the big yard they had she heard it moving. She panicked and started running but as before with her mother there was no point in her attempt as It was faster than her and caught up to her in a matter of seconds. It slashed at her and caught her left eye leaving it heavily damaged and the pain and blood loss caused her to black out.
She was surprised when she came to, she was sure that she was going to be killed like her parents. Shiloh surveyed the area around her and it seemed like whatever had attacked her was gone, but she was not about to make the same mistake twice so she stayed low to the ground and crawled her way to the nearby trees of the woods. She hoped that it would over her some sort of protection against the monster that attacked her. From there she had slowly wandered the forest hoping to escape and find someone to help her, but the task was becoming harder for her as the blood loss from her injury was making her weaker.
Finally after what felt like days she passed out from fatigue in an open field where an older Romani couple found her and took her in and tended to her wounds. It took a week for her to regain full consciousness and when she did she was extremely paranoid and frightened as her ordeal left her severely traumatized. For days she wouldn’t talk but only make sacred whimpering noises if either of the couple came to close to her. The couple were quite understanding and left her be until she realized that they were not going to hurt her. From there they slowly engaged her, talking to her and telling her things about themselves. Once she felt comfortable with them she slowly began opening up to them telling them her name, and little things here and there.
When finally questioned about how she came to be in the woods, she cautiously told them what happened to her. Not knowing if they would believe her, but they listened patiently to her story and never interrupted. When she finished her story they stayed quiet for a few moments as they took in everything she had told them. They explained to her that there are things in the world that not many people know about or even explain, and that monsters do exist. They explained to her that sometimes these monsters attack innocent people for no reason. Since she had nowhere to go they offered to take her in, which she agreed to.
A few more days later the major injury to her eye healed up, and yet she noticed that once the bandage was taken off that she could still see maybe even a little better than before. Shiloh went to inspect the damage left on her face when she was greeted with a shocking image. Her entire left eye was black save for the pupil which was a bright golden color. It turned out that the monster that attacked her was actually a demon, and that after it attacked her instead of killing her it has simply replaced her damaged eye with its own and left her there. Its reason behind the demon’s actions is unknown, but Mama and Papa Gitani had both fashioned a seal for her eye as they did not know what sort of power the eye would hold. The seal came in the form of an eye patch that they instructed her to wear daily and to never take off until they could figure what its power was.
From there Shiloh has been living with them learning to defend herself from creatures by Papa Gitani and learning the skills to take care of herself and information on what types of creatures were out there from Mama Gitani. Over the years the three of them had gotten very close and felt almost like a real family. Then one day when Shiloh was about 18 a creature attacked their campground. She was ready to defend their ground, but both Gitanis had told her to escape, torn between the options she listened and grabbed as much useful gear as she could and ran. Since that incident she’s been roaming around hunting the things that go bump in the night and hoping that her adopted parents are still alright. She manages to survive by take short-term odd jobs and using some of the infamous Romani skills that she had picked up over the years (mostly pick pocketing, stealing, and hotwiring things). Though at times the actions make her feel bad, but she usually tries to target pricks to steal things off of.
• • BUT THE MESSAGE RELAYED IS THE SAME,
the face behind the mask
ALIAS: Rikki
OTHER ACCOUNTS: RIKKI
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ROLE PLAYING: 2 years
WHERE DID YOU FIND US: A friend
ROLE PLAY SAMPLE:
Shiloh bolted upright disoriented and feeling absolutely terrified, she could feel her heart slamming hard against her rib cage and her breaths were coming up in deep gasps. It took her a moment to focus enough to take a look at her surroundings, and what she saw calmed her down. Dark fancy furniture and overly decorated walls with paintings of nature scenes which was lit up by the little light that was creeping into the room from the cracks around the curtains. She took a few deep breathes to ease her heart; she was safe she told her it was all a dream. Each time she had that dream it left her shaken and uneasy, despite the fact that it all had happened so many years ago. She was older now, wiser, even a little stronger, but was she strong enough to face it again? Would she freeze up like she had done before? She mentally scolded herself for even thinking it. Whatever happens she would be ready for it she told herself so there was no point worrying about it now.
Unfortunately now she was fully aware of how much her nightmare had affected her, she could feel her tank top sticking to her body with sweat. She sighed as she pulled back the covers and got out of bed which seemed to be a harder feat than it sounded as her legs felt weak and as if they would not hold her up but she fought against the feeling and carried herself over to the bathroom even if it was painfully slow. Once she was in the tiny cramped room that served as their bathroom she carefully flicked the switch to the light and squeezed her eyes shut quickly. She felt the light against her eye lids and carefully opened her eyes against the harsh light. This was her usual tactic for combating the night when she had to turn it on in the middle of the night.
