Character Details:
Name: Shannon Hailstrom
Alias(es): None
Race: Human / Witch
Level: Master
Apparent Age: 30-something
True Age: 42
Master: Elementalist (Fire)
Basic: Alchemist
Weapons: N/A
Profession: Dancer / Stripper
Other Skills:
Herbology - Associates Degree from a community college
Powers:
Master Power: Elementalist (Fire)
Shannon has mastered the control of fire: From rudimentary cantrips tossed out with the flick of a wrist, to the creation of massive fire elementals that respond to her every command. Though many of her spells require material components, Shannon has developed the ability to intertwine her control of fire with the movements of her body, much like an interpretive dance routine, or a martial arts kata, the flames following the form of her motions.
Basic Power: Alchemist
Shannon has gone so far as to take a college course in herbology in order to better understand the various components required for spell casting. She's taken this knowledge and began applying it towards potion crafting, wards and item enchantments. Basic wards and enchantments may take her anywhere from a day to a week in preparation, though anything beyond this is out of her skill range.
Weaknesses
Haunted: Shannon is responsible for the death of her parents, and this gives her extreme nightmares. Over the years, she's managed to regain focus on her powers (as she realizes the fire was caused from a lack of control), but she is often tired and not well rested, which can adversly affect her casting.
OCD with spells: She is too rigid in learning new spells, akin to OCD in getting it right while still in the learning stages and also with executing spells she already knows. She is always so focused on learning it the 'right way' - the 'by the book' way - the 'don't set your parents on fire' way, that it often takes her more time and effort to actually learn the spell, and then to actually begin mastering its manipulation. This limits the prospective teachers she might have in advancing her skills in alchemy, and severely limits its progression on her own.
Addictive personality/alcoholic: She's a recovering alcoholic (12 steps and all), and often turns to drugs to fill that void instead of liquor. If she has one drink, she's going to keep drinking until she passes out. In the interim, her magic suffers noticeably, becoming wild and often on the brink of her control, if she manages to cast at all. During her stints of sobriety, she'll undoubtedly find something else to obsess over.
Poor eyesight: Shannon is farsighted, meaning she can see everything just fine at a distance, but needs glasses for anything closer than arms length. Reading glasses used to do the trick, but now she needs prescription glasses, suffering from headaches and dizziness without them.
Impulsive: Decisions made on the spot are usually carried out in the same fashion: right then and there. When she gets the urge to 'do' anything, it has to be right then, or not at all. Buying stuff online? That shit drives her nuts. She's more likely to drive two hours out of her way in order to get the 'thing' she wants right then, rather than wait for it. This often leaves her not doing a damn thing, and can even create a lethargic disposition within her.
RP-Hookups
She's a people watcher, so if you spot her - odds are, she's already looking at you. So go ahead and wave! Say Hello!
Probably smells like marijuana. She keeps a blunt tangled up in her hair. You might spot it, or even smell it.
She's seeking a teacher/mentor to help advance her magics in alchemy
Also seeking someone to teach her how to fight with swords. She's taught herself to form flaming blades of molten like fire, but aside from looking really cool - she has no clue how to wield a sword with any actual skill.
