Name: Pepin Molyneau
Nicknames: Miss. ingno (Be aware shes not.. a cosplay), w̢͞t̨̀͡f͡҉̡͘͞ì͘͝s̶̸͟ģ̶ơ̷̶͞i̡n̛҉̢g̨̛̛͝ó̧҉̧n̶̶̢
Gender: Female
Age: 16/17ish
Faction/Race (Ghost) Glitch/Lost Data. Previously Human, doesn't have recollection of past life.
Personality: Pepin can be a one-track mind sometimes. In her past life she spent hours and hours on social networks and anonymous chat forums. She had built up a very infamous reputation until her death at the computer screen. It had been hours and hours before her body was found but by then she had invested her soul entirely to the digital world. Though not aware of her previous life as a rabid computer dweller, Pepin still has tendencies to spend long periods of time gossiping and arguing with people through the virtual realm. However, because of her condition as a ghost projected through data, Pepin has trouble developing real friendships and relationships that aren't entirely superficial - in the case of her making a real friend she can grow a sometimes unwanted infatuation with them.
Pepin has a... killer gossip problem. Even through her tighter relationships, Pep will advertise herself as the best secret keeper at Amityville. This of course is a fat lie. Whether out of malice or not this ghoul can't keep her mouth shut about other students. Knowing the unnecessary details about others' lives seems to make her feel strong in a sense. It can also get her into serious amounts of trouble. As nosy as Pepin is she sometimes spills the beans on accident out of sheer habit. Having once lived behind the mask of anonymity she does not weigh the consequences of sharing dark secrets with others. Ironically, Pepin has very little secrets about herself (yet!) to share and hypocritically keeps them to herself.
Although superficial to some degree, Pepin does not lack self confidence over her shape. In fact she wishes she could be less fragmented and more solid to show off her figure. Where she has physical self esteem she lacks in overall confidence when pressured. Tests, exams, and on the rare occasion just making it through the day can get her worked up and mopey. When she catches a serious case of the woe-is-me's, Pepin will brood around hallways flickering with such an intensity that it's almost impossible to make out her face. While she will not hesitate to one-up someone else she still absorbs some emotion and stress from others and manifests it through datamoshing.
-Can be a total kiss a** or back stabber depending on the situation. Does not think in terms of hierarchy though so it CAN be unexpected and not in her best interest.
LIKES: Gossip, Chatting, has a secret thing for "nerds", Shopping for Virtual Goods, Dirty Dubstep, SWEET DANCE PARTIES
DISLIKES: Freezing up, Communication errors, having her picture taken (they never turn out!!), Writing by hand, Morninnnngs,
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Pepin found herself at the Academy by chance like many a wandering ghost can. After a while of helping various ghouls and boils hack up their friends' websites she decided to find a much more 'rewarding' outlet for her talents. There is a huge glamor and appeal to her in attending an organized school where there is plenty of 'networking' to be tinkered and played with. Pepin does not see herself as someone who can tackle the system but desperately wishes to be a part of it.
Natural Ability: Whenever Pepin hovers around electronic devices one may experience a couple of flickers and shudders on their screens. Generally she cannot cause any serious damage to said devices by being near them but with her FEAR ability she can cause data loss and damage that may or may not be repairable. (In other words she cannot completely destroy any data without being in FEAR mode)
-Pepin is a bit of a hover-er but she cannot fly or anything like that. Just walk without moving her legs.
FEAR: Glitch Out- Just as it may sound, Pepin's Glitch Out will cause data obstruction in electronic devices especially in things that have internet connection. When in battle this ability works more as an illusion and can cause her target to start seeing things as if they were glitched. In some cases it can also drain any colors from vision until the brief glitch-out is over. (For year 1, her FEAR only affects the opponent's sight but when she improves it should be able to directly effect the organic world around her)
Physical Description: Average height and size, somewhat thicker build, stocky legs with small feet that usually dangle about half an inch to an inch above the ground. Fingers and toes are not distinct- they fade into claw like shapes. Hair is a wispy gray and in sort of a layered she-mullet.
Eye Colour: Black-ringed but filled with white snow/noise (her mouth does this too when opened!)
Hair Colour/Style: White/Silver
Skin Colour: White. I decided to keep her overall design black and white as not too be too busy!
Clothing Style/Colours: Patchy, arbitrarily placed black. Her "outfit" should look very ambiguous but pretty much pitch black with an array of noise markings. She can have any sort of little Halloween accessory in her hair as long as its black/white, usually spiderwebby stuff.
Extra: As a ghost she isn't necessarily transparent but appears as a faded, jerky, glitchy image (see references of glitch art). Her form is constantly flickering and can sometimes freeze up. This kind of glitching is supposed to be Datamoshing where images are overlapped but for the sanity of any artist who draws her, she can be "glitched" with just the same image!
