| Bio: | I am a daughter of Oberon, King of Amber. I have been temporarily (I hope) exhiled here to this place and have to make an effort to fit in. This is hard as I am a bit of an introvert. "And then there was a black-haired girl with the same blue eyes, and her hair hung long and she was dressed all in black, with a girdle of silver about her waist. My eyes filled with tears, why I don't know. Her name was Deirdre." ~Corwin's description of his sister Deirdre from the book Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny "Now it is written that only a prince of Amber may walk among shadows, though of course he may lead or direct as many as he chooses on such courses. We led our troops and saw them die, but of Shadow I have this to say; there is Shadow and there is Substance, and this is the root of all things. Of Substance, there is only Amber, the real city, upon the real Earth, which contains everything. Of Shadow, there is an infinitude of things; Every possibility exists in somewhere as a Shadow of the real. Amber, by its very existence, has cast such in all directions. And what may on say of it beyond? Shadow extends from Amber to Chaos, and all things are possible within it. There are only three ways of traversing it, and each of them is difficult If one is a prince or a princess of the blood, then one may walk, crossing through Shadows, forcing one's environment to change until it is finally in precisely the shape one desires it, and there stop. That Shadow world is then its one's own, save for family intrusions, to do with as one would. In such place I dwelled for centuries. The second means is the cards, cast by Dworkin, master of the Line, who had created them in our image, to facilitate communications between members of the royal family. He was the ancient artist to whom space and perspective meant nothing. He made up the family Trumps, which permitted the willer to touch his brethren wherever they might be. I had a feeling that these had not be used in full accord with their authors intentions. The third was the Pattern, also drawn by Dworkin, which could only be walked by a member of our family. It initiated the walker into the system of the cards, as it were, and at its ending gave its walker the power to stride across Shadows. The cards and the Pattern made for instant transport from Substance through Shadow. The other way, walking, was harder." ~Corwin on Shadow from Nine Princes in Amber by Roger Zelazny VOICE MAIL HERE: http://www.livejournal.com/users/deirdreofamber/2198.html (OOC: All characters from the Chronicles of Amber are sole property of Roger Zelazny.) OOC: So I wanted to choose a fandom I feel at least mostly competent in, that I won't have to constantly be looking things up in a book or rewinding on a tape or something, and so I chose The Chronicles of Amber. And that is my first problem, nobody knows who the frell these people are. So I thought a bit of info in OOC would be helpful. In the next few days I hope to get some links posted on my UserInfo page to help with that. So here is the dealio: Deirdre is a daughter of Oberon, King of Amber. Amber is the one true world, that which all other worlds are merely reflections of. The Royal House of Amber has some unique talents. They can communicate with one another using the picture on a set of cards(Trumps, which only work for the Royal Family), which look much like Tarot cards. Sometimes they use the cards to transport themselves from one place to another. They can travel to anywhere they can imagine, by literally creating it with the concentration and desire to make their way there. Deirdre can use this in a limited capacity, as I will explain in a bit. A member of the Royal House of Amber can, in fact, create their own world and rule it as they see fit, if they so desired. But they don't often do this, as they are always aware that these created places(called Shadow) are not the True World. And the family is typical dysfuntional, right down to the philandering father and the batshit crazy wizard(Dworkin) and the killer sibling rivalry. For my purposes in game here I have modified Deirdre's abilities a bit, she can "Walk Shadow" (as the creating of a place is called) on a limited basis, this is for safety, as she is supposed to be hiding out in this I read these books the first time when I was 12 or 13, so they left an impression. I dreamed about Walking Shadow as a kid, no I mean really dreamed it, when I was asleep. The one thing I wished I could do, and still do, is visit libraries, like go to Alexandria or the first Carnegie library, whathaveyou. So I have toned down the ability to ShadowWalk a little bit(she can take short Walks), but given her the ability to go to any library she wants, like a corespondant space. (L-space-esque for you Disc fans) That is my marysue want, so I will do it through roleplay, ha! So if you need research, ask Deirdre to get some books for you, she has some amazing access. Now then, does she go to the "real" Alexandria? Does she go to someplace that is very much like it? These are philosophical questions for when I am more awake. The simple answer is that she can find a Potential Alexandria that suits her need at that moment. That is good enough for now I am thinking. So basically, she is living in a big ol' house her father literally created for her, she can heal incredibly fast, she has a huge buncha siblings, Magic of a sorts is in her blood and in her reality, all this is just some reflection of the True World that she hails from. | |||||
