Sidhe

[sidhe]

Basic Information


Full Name: Contessa Morgana La Vecchia
Age: Ageless (dead in 1886)
Gender: Female
Birthday: November 1st
Codename: Mistress Sidhe for now, later on just Sidhe.
Classification: Parasitic Poltergeist, formerly an half-elf.
Abilities:
Before she had been finally killed, she had the ability to steal health from others and grant it to herself and her allies. She also had strong psionic abilities. Due to her line of work and the way she used her abilities, When she was finally killed in order to prevent any chance of ressurection she was trapped in the astral plane by her enemies. While in this state it would invade the minds of other weak psychics who entered the plane, stealing the strength from their mind and souls in order to eventually become strong enough to exit the astral plane as her own entity. But there was a price, she could never rest again unless not only was her actual remains destroyed completely but the people who pulled her to life were. This proved bad when she learned she couldn't live without stealing the energy from others in death either.

She would also always permenantly be in her astral form, only tangible when interacting with others, when it didn't cost too much strength to do so. Due to these events her powers have changed a bit.

current powers

1. Ghost Form - She must always remain in this intangible aura form, unless she can use her gathered energy to create a physical manifesation of herself to deal with others. This allows her to float.

2. Psionics- She can manifest her psionic energy from the astral plane into physical means. She can cause a psionic scream, which causes intense mental pain to anyone in her line of direct site and aim, due to the backlash that results when things enter the astral plane, she can absorb that impact and expell it in that scream or in smaller psionic bolts.

3. Death Touch- Morgana can use her psionic mastery to drain the energy from others in order to keep herself appearing young, as well as sucking the health from that person. She can launch this in distance form as well, through white bolts which will do gradual damage until someone can get out of her line of sight. She is a form of parasitic poltergeist, but due to her state she can be more efficient with it than normal. She must do this within three days of her last feeding or else she will begin to fade.


Alignment/Occupation: Evil, when it comes to occupation she is a restless spirit, she could wind up anywhere.

Special Skills: Due to her permanent intangibility she can be a very skilled stealth infiltrator. She can communicate with other dead, and cannot be destroyed unless the thing anchoring her to this earth is.
Weapons: Her powers are her main weapon, since unless she's tangible through physical manifestation she cannot hold weapons.
The Look


Appearance: Hauntingly beautiful, yet so cold and frightening in her own right, this is the appearance of the mysterious Morgana. Skin so cold, so pale and deathly...nothing you would see natural with anyone but herself. Eyes white, the vision of death staring you in the face. Her eyes are lined with black, whether that is natural due to her mutation or a form of make up are unknown. She is semi-thin, realistically due to her former occupation it wouldn't make sense for her to be anything but lean and soft muscle.

Her hair is an etheral white, now, having lost its dark color a long time ago. It adds to her strange appearance. It is very long, reaching down to her lower waist, and is fine and straight, like silk. Her neck is swanlike, her nails are black, most likely painted. Her lips are also painted black. No one would now believe that a long time ago she was a dark haired, dark eyed woman of unknown race from somewhere in Italy.

Celebrity: Ghost Widow from CoV for now, Laetitia Casta for pre-death.

Style: Her clothing is always at least attractive, and while she despises showing her entire form she prefers to appear stylish for her condition. Her clothing is almost always either black or white, and often when her arms aren't covered by her sleeves, they are by thin gloves. Her eyes are almost always covered by dark glasses, in order to prevent too many stares into her direction. Her clothing is elegant and expensive, but always covers her pale body. She will never willingly reveal anything more than her face and possibly her hands.

It's The Inside That Counts

Personality: She is a calculating, and cold woman by association, preferring to speak with others remotely than to being with them close up. But htis doesn't mean she will not use her femininity to an advantage if it gives her what she wants. She is a planner, a manipulator, and a very vengeful and spiteful woman. And a cruelly serious person, anything that remotely resembles disrespect will be responded to with violence or very harsh words. She is jealous as well, very unlikely to accept the words of women, especailly pretyt woman unless being sure she can benifit. Despite this she believes that by nature women can overtake a man.

Likes:

[Graveyards]
[Mozart]
[Speaking with other spirits]

Dislikes: At least 3 or more.

[The living...]
[When its too hot...]
[Beautiful women]

Fears: At least 2 or more.

[That she will be trapped in the astral plane forever.]
[Exorcism of any kind, regardless of who its being done to she can't even be present without having a panick. ]

Weaknesses: She cannot protect herself from strong elemental attacks. While she is ammune to pure psionic attack, actual psychics can do strong damage against her mentally, especailly if they can wrestle control of her physical manifestation. She can be posessed by stronger spiritual and psychic minds, which can be benifitial or end badly depending on the alliance of the other psychic. Her connection to the astral plane is absolute, but if she doesn't have a physical manifestation actually on the earth she can be trapped and eventually fade out of existance and unable to leave the astral plane except through willing posession. If she creates a phsyical manifestation she must feed quicker than she would without being tangible, meaning she can risk fading out within one day.

Strengths:
[she is skilled at infiltration.]
[Shrewed leader.]

History(at least two paragraphs):

Morgana was born into a noble family of unknown lineage in a place close to Naples. Since birth she had an interest in the occult, apparantly fueled due to ther prediction of the death of a family member, which was very ridiculous; there was no prediction at all. In fact, she had just cried and they assumed since someone had died after wards due to a disagreement that it was her prediction. Her mother had an interest in that line of activities as well, so while growing up she had taught her much, such as dealing with tarot cards. It wasn't until her teenage years that her mother had felt she was ready for mediumship. Conveniently this was when the first vestiges of her abilities were shown, and through the astral plane she was able to communicate with not only dead spirits but other psychic minds. She wouldn't know that this wasn't the sort of mediumship one would see normally. She would become famous for her psychic gifts, using this astral plane not only to communicate but to predict, and in a trade of she had taken on some of the psionic energy backlash expelled by the astral plane into her own body. This was too advanced for her, but due to her earlier successes she had thought she would be okay. But as a sort of tale of things to come the backlash had come through her, killing one of the people at her reading and incinerating their very mind to nothing, and that had never happen before. Horrified, she had hidden from the paranormal for a few years.

Her family had run into trouble with a number of underworld crime families, not only due to her father's anti-crime stance, but also because a number of the La Vecchia family were rather deep in debt to the mafia and some were even members. She herself would wind up as a member of one of the crime families, marrying a son. But their relationship woudl soon deteriorate into a loveless one, as he spent more time with the family than they did with her...and the other women she would see. Eventually she would catch him in the act of going behind her back with one and she would then decide she tired of this. She would pretend to find evidence of his dealings with other crime families and have him taken out by family hit men. She would then gain his estate, which added to her own gave her even more wealth. This wouldn't be the only time this happened, the more she married, the more would die and she earned the nickname Lady Death due to the many suspicious deaths in her family. Eventually some had grown tired of this, and plotted to have her murdered. Realizing she would have to flee, she did, running to Milan.

She would plot her revenge soon enough, her superstitious nature causing her to seek a more 'otherworldly' method of vengeance over what she viewed as a loss of what she'd earned. Again using her psychic abilities she had made dormant she had found the astral plane, and after conversing with another psychic friend she came up with what to do. It was a gamble but it would work, she was sure it was. She decided to start her own group, her own family. But not without destroying that which she felt deserved it. She would return to Naples, and throw herself infront of the Capofamiglia, saying that she had only been trying to escape an abusive relationship, from a man who only wanted to betray their family. After much discussion she was allowed to live, and she'd endeared herself to the Don himself. Becoming a rather unattainable mistress she was able to keep his favor and manipulate things from the inside. Of course all good things had to come to an end and she would mix some arsenic into his food...and planting the evidence on his wife. Of course that didn't look good because the wife just happened to be the daughter of another crime family, the two had been married and that had cemented relations for a while. Oh the drama that happened when they found her with the bottle of arsenic in her medicine cabinent. All out war errupted between the two families, and in their desperation they had no one on top to lead them. During this war she would keep sating her need for energy by taking it to others, she was famous for predicting the deaths of her enemies (they didn't know she sucked their health away right aftewards).

She would ressurect the burning remains of the family into her own little organization, through subtle control. As she was a master of infiltaration and silent assasination (learned through her decimation of the Russo Crime family in Naples) she had decided to lend her skills to the highest bidder. Due to her very confusing views that came from being mixed with two different races; elf and human, she had been more than willing to attack targets on both sides. This made her an invaluable resource to those who could gain her patronage, which she was more than willing to use. But this would also put her at odds with the majority who favored the peace between humans and the Underworld. Her family would take in money and not only provide resources for criminals on the run, but also diplomatic immunity due to her contessa title as a human. Also due to her mental abilities she was a strong ally in her own right. She would be arrested and used by the CIA in order to prevent prosecution she was used as a patsy.

It was during one of these missions that she would meet her death. In a situation unlike her past accident she was hit with the backlash of the astral plane. But she had been attacked by human agents of an unknown group to her, who had managed to land a killing blow. When it struck her body her mind was in the astral plane and therefore she was cut off from her body, killing her. She was confused...why wasn't she fully dead? Someone had set her up, and then she had believed that the elves she had been in business with had known all along and had planned this to happen to her. Trapped in the astral plane bodiless she would sit there...although this was bad, it wasn't until she began to weaken that she realized she still needed to feed. But on psychic energy not bodily energy in this plane. She would steal the energy of those who came into the astral plane. This would sustain her for years. Someone would try to profit from this by descecrating her grave and denying her energy and trapping her spectral form on earth until she fulfilled their wants; providing a easy and free assasin who could take out their enemies. A human with very strong ties to the supernatural had planned this out. Whenever she refused she would be overtaken by a stronger mind, and forced into submision tbrough psychic torture. Knowing she couldn't last much longer she would make one last effort and when the time was nigh she absorbed the energy of every mind in the astral plane at once, causing a violent backlash that killed a few weaker psychics and alerted the others to her presence. With that energy she had managed to escape her slavery and form a physical manifestation.

Again on ths world she had taken brutal revenge on all those who opposed her, having everyone who even remotely seemed in leagues with that man who had enslaved her after death. But she was still confused...she couldn't be put to rest! There was something keeping her hear on earth...and they would feel her wrath... Without her old allies with her this time...can she trust her new ones?

Right now she is on the warpath, believing the BPRD to be to blame for her current predicament, she doesn't quite remember who managed to ressurect her. Little does she know...
