Basic Information[/center][/u][/color][/size]
Full Name: Izdihar "Ivy" Daher
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Birthday: April 16, 1980
Codename: Her nickname is Ivy, but while in the field she's called Agent Daher of course.
Classification: Dryad
Abilities:
Plant control and manipulation, giving her the ability to not only emphasize and grow plants but take on their properties. She can survive through photosynthesis. She can grow plants with the number of seeds she carries with her on each outing.
Tree-like abilities- She can now harden her skin, making her look like she were made of tree bark. She can also root through her bare feat as if she were a tree, making her harder to move.
She is slowly becoming more plant than human, if you get what I'm saying. Her control has grown to a larger radius and plants now respond to her emotions as well as deep thought. Her plant empathy has gotten stronger as well.
Alignment/Occupation: (Will get back to this...)
Special Skills: She has a understanding of all things plant, allowing her to create professional level medicine and poison. Wonderful gardener.
Weapons: She prefers her plants to any 'inorganic' weapon. But she will handle something standard issue if required, though grudgingly.
The Look
Appearance: She is a vision of beauty and grace. She almost can look like a plant just by appearances, her body tall and lean. She is almost 6 feet tall, which makes sense due to her abilities, and her eyes are a bright violet. Her hair is a dark reddish brown color, and apon closer glance you can see small leaves that are often in it. When extremely stressed her skin can start to fluctuate to bark, or she can have vines begin to grow and wrap around her limbs in an almost defensive gesture.
Celebrity: Tyra Banks for now.
Style: In her normal clothing she will often were more earthy, cultural clothing, or professional clothing in a semi-form fitting style. She enjoys earth jewelry. Thats just her normal dress though.
It's The Inside That Counts
Personality:
Although some say she has a mother nature attitude and can be very nurturing, she also is spiteful and vengeful. She is passionate about what she believes in, even now since she has become what she worked so hard to protect. She is very liberal, and believes in women's choice, affirmative action, protection of the enviroment, and animal rights. She views many men as just playthings for her to toy with, since she blames them for what she views as the destruction of her "mother earth", and many of her missfortunes in her life. Due to her violent childhood she is very untrusting, despite what she might say. She is very intolerant of normal looking humans than her more passive counterparts because she not only feels the sting of being treated poorly because of her genes, but also the pain that the enviroment feels. She has alot of affection for plants, and often treats them as equals. She can be a very very dangerous enemy. She views her comerades as untrustworthy and is slowly beginning to see them as possible allies, not enemies of the enviroment.
Likes:
[Gardening and all things plant.]
[Walking]
[Art]
Dislikes: At least 3 or more.
[Inorganic things]
[Unnatural chemicals]
[Fire of any kind]
Fears: At least 2 or more.
[Fire, very very afraid of fire.]
[Airplanes.]
Weaknesses:
[She is weak against fire.]
[She is weaker the further she is from earth. For example being on an airplane would make her abilities much weaker than if she's standing on concrete. And that is weaker than when she's on soil.]
[If too stressed she can become poisonous to the touch.]
[If too upset her plants can begin to act aggressively towards others.]
[Very foul tempered]
Strengths:
[She can live longer off of water and photosynthesis, meaning that she can go days without any sort of food and be okay.]
[She can generate the qualities of various plants in order to provide both medical aid and poisons.]
[An authority on plants]
History(at least two paragraphs):
She was a green peace activist in high school. She grew up in a unstable household. Her father abused her and her mother. She began to dislike any contact with men, and was terribley shy growing up. She was raped in highschool, and all that did was further her hatred of men. To "escape" she put her time into studying at the library, and aced her classes. She also put alot of time and energy into Green Peace, and registered to vote under the Green Party. During her senior summer, she protested the removal of a rainforest by tying herself to a tree. They left her, believing that she would either give in, or the local wildlife would make sure she didn't survive the night. She did, infact; she survived for a week. But when they came back she was not only alive, but alive AND well. She showed no signes of discomfort.
Things changed; when she walked past her many plants at home, they would seem to turn and reach out towards her. She never felt tired during the day, the sun seemed to revitalize her, but she hated the cold and especially fire, and leaves began to appear in her hair. Her eyes went from brown to purple, her pupils from black to dark green. Her skin even changed tint. It wasn't green, but it was paler and it had a greenish tint.
She attended college in Hawaii, were she had a double major in Medicine and Botany, and a minor in Biology. She graduated with honors, and is working on her masters online. The night afterwords, she turned green. Her fiancee left her, supposedly out of "fear", and her mother died of "natural causes" (Ivy doubted that, she knew how abusive her father could be) and Ivy went on a rampage. The true trigger was the knowledge that her mother hadn't been human, but a dryad. Angry that she had been cut off from her 'true home', and the trauma of her life. She destroyed everything representing mans power over nature and especially women. She tore apart country clubs, grew dense jungles on golfcourses, and even swamped a marina with large amounts of thick seaweed. She even poisoned aeresol products. She then killed her 'father', using her plants to grow to tremendous lengths, wrapping around his whole body, slowing crushing and suffocating him to death.
She then went out and systematically destroyed powerplants, coorperations and other things, if it weren't for her being stopped by the FBI and B.P.R.D. she would've killed more people. She was taken into their custody, kicking and screaming and put on a psycological rehabilitation. At first she couldn't even leave her room, and every man human or not filled her with contempt and mistrust. But she has been trying to rise above that.
So she's learnign to apply herself in other areas as well as the lab. After a close friends death, she emotionally withdrew from those around her, preferring to sit alone, and she saw an act of affection that she had interpreted as an ultimate betrayal, so we now will see if she can regain her lost trust of those around her and recover back to the way she was before everything happened...
The Person Behind It All
Name:Ivy
Age: 21
Gender: Female
RP Experience: A few years now on various rpgs.
RP Sample: She sat...just silent, and calm, in that center of the park that was hidden by trees and tall plants...the perfect amount of solitude to think as she felt herself being torn. She felt just...strange lately. Like she was losing the things she had grown to care about one by one...
She felt a pain...A pain that she had to hide to be strong, to show the others that they were the pillars to support them...It was too much...she wanted to let out her bottled up emotions...she had no one to cry to...it just dawned on her.
Sure she could say she had 'friends', but did she really?...but she felt old feelings of distrust flood her senses, she just didn't want to be hurt again...she was hurting so bad right now...she wanted him to be there for her right now...she could call them if she wanted, but she knew he had alot on his plate without her emotional baggage, would he even want to deal with her in this state?
Like the Greek Goddess Demeter, who apon losing someone close to her, turned the world into a barren wasteland...Ivy soon felt the plants around her begin to fade away...like her connection...Soon the park began to brown...there were no beautiful flowers, but unlike her last emotional outpouring here, there were no thorny vines meant to harm others either. Just cold, dirt...
