Backgrounds are hard, damnit!
Name: Diana Tear
Gender: Female
Aura: Black, it has been decreed!!
Appearance: Just looking at her, you can tell – She is a teenage female!
...What, more details? Kay, fine. Aged about 16 and ¾, Her hair is a dull, kinda flat red that she wears tied up in a pony tail and frequently under a blue baseball cap. Occasionally a pair of glasses will appear on her face (that is to say, she'll put them on, rather than some oddly magical specs) if she wants to look professional or needs to do extended reading. Blue eyes, for the record. She's an active girl, so typically she wears clothes that reflect that, often a pair of dark jeans and a white cloth jacket over a blue T-shirt. She's pretty much never seen without her video camera, either in her hands or in it's rather secure looking bag at her side.
Race: Human
Abilities:
1: Precognitive Sixth Sense (Camera-girl edition) : Di is gifted with the ability to always be at the best location to start filming interesting events within her range (as in, where she can feasibly travel). A subconscious sixth sense that tells her 'something cool is going to happen over there!', it acts as a reverse danger magnet, dragging her to trouble.
----
Ability: Camera Girl Sense
Level: 2
Effect: A sixth sense that alters Diana whenever something interesting is happening, and weakly compells her to investigate. It also enables her to sense how interesting people are, just by looking at them - although it can only do so in a relative way.
----
2: Do. Not. Touch. The Camera : As a Director and camera woman, Di's camera is her life and she defends it as such. If there's any danger to her camera, Di will defend it however she can, up to and including shielding it with her own body. As long as she is capable of moving, this ability applies. It's really best no one but her goes near the thing, lest they lose a hand. This improves her physical state, and in certain cases may be similar to a flash action.
3: Directorial Ability - Self insert : If, while the camera is rolling, Diana ends up on screen, suddenly her hair is radiant, her eyes sparkle with a mysterious light, she moves with the grace of a dancer, and she punches with the strength of a gorilla. Basically, while she's being filmed, her stats get a boost. It's exhausting though, like, really lots.
Background:
When Diana was a kid, her parents were obsessed with home movies. It was a family quirk, one that's resulted in the filling of an entire store-room these days. Diana always wanted to be the one holding the camera, and her love of directing slowly grew from that.
More recently, she just got into Amaranth Institute for the Gifted, which is nice. Her parents were thrilled! Of course, Di has pretty much no idea about the supernatural world.
Clubs:
Film makers club
Anime club
Movie club
Various tv show and movie fandom clubs
Drama club
Documentary club
Notes:
A skilled director and movie maker, at least for her age, Di is never without her camera (which no one else is allowed to touch). Usually she keeps enough spare film on her to never really be in danger of running out during mundane day-to-day activities. If anything interesting crops up, so to does the camera. Her computer has the rather modern editing software she personally uses, although for big jobs she'll find someone more skilled at using it. The movies she's made to date aren't that bad, either.
She's also very well versed on tv-tropes (“It's a creators responsibility to know what the hell they're doing after all!”) which can be more than a little annoying for those around her.
Relationships:
Alex Darrow: Diana's main rival as a director. A dark haired boy in his late teens, never without his shades. To Di's constant annoyance, he also got into the school and lives nearby on campus. The two should never be put in the same room for more than half an hour.
Sarah Fiyr: Di's room-mate at the dorm. The two are best friends. Sarah is a blonde new arrival more interested in computer science than movie making, a little taller than Di, and far calmer in temperment.
Bill Door: The best special effects editor Diana knows, much to his despair. Di will pester him to edit whatever videos she makes until he caves. A few years older than Di, Bill's usually found hanging out in the computer labs, casually dressed and carrying a can of cola, a sign of his caffine addiction.
