Rough character sheet | Pixel Royk
Appearance:
She's short and skinny, with pale, ruddy skin. Her hair is an unkept, curly mess of dirty blonde that is usually half-covered by her huge hat. Her eyes are a reddish color. She wears her jacket at all times, and prefers to let her hat's pompoms hold things for her rather than her own hands, which are usually obscured within her long sleeves. Knees are usually scraped up and dirty from crawling and playing outside.
Personality:
She's a happy little girl who loves to play and run and climb and ask more questions than a normal person should. She doesn't judge, forgives easily, and still has a lot to learn about the world. Royk knows a little bit about her berserker mode, but doesn't quite fully understand it. She isn't in full control of it yet, either.
Orientation: She doesn't have one yet.
Marital/Relationship Status: Um...single. She's too young to start that kind of thing.
Age: 11
Race and Origin:
She is human, but comes from a family whose genes causes them to go into berserker mode when in life or death situations. This has kept them alive from the time when monsters ran amok, and is why their bloodline is still going strong.
Powers/Abilities:
Her berserker mode is powerful and unbridled due to her lack of control. Thus, her father crafted her a special jacket that concentrates it into one area(the patches on her sleeves) so that she can use it for self defense and keep her from harming herself.
How this works:
Her hands, feet, and eyes turn a blackish color when in berserker mode, and she develops claws that can tear through just about anything. What the jacket does is allow only her hands to develop these claws, and if she tries to use them through the natural openings at the end of her sleeves, the claws are retracted. The only way for her to use them is to consciously open the patches on the sides of her sleeves, which requires some thought, self-control, and dexterity. This trains her to better use her power and other wise calms her down, because without the claws her berserker mode is useless and leaves her to flail aimlessly until tired.
Her hat:
A weakness that puts a hole in the jacket's ability to restrain her power is the hat. She found it one day while out climbing trees, and put it on. Ever since then she's grown very attached to it, refusing to let anyone else put it on or take it from her.
This is because the hat is actually a parasitic creature in disguise, who works subtly but dangerously. It clamps onto her head and speaks into her mind, making her believe it's her friend. The pompoms shift shapes and do what she bids them to do, convincing her further that this creature is only out to do her good. While this makes a good alternative weapon, it actually puts her further down the path of going into berserker mode. What she doesn't know is that the hat sucks on her energy, shortening her lifespan little by little. While her energy is being depleted, she grows more and more tired, with less self control/awareness. This can happen within the span of one day if she's especially active, and letting the exhaustion go too far puts her in danger of going into berserker mode even without a life or death situation.
