Gender: Female
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Other Traits: A scar on the under side of her chin from running into a chair when she was little.



===POWERS===


Powers:

1) Telipyrocanisis: this power is like telicanisis, and works pretty much the same way, the only difference is that if she gets angry or scared the thing she is holding up will either burst into flames or explode.

2) Levitation: this power explains it's self. If WS wants to fly she can, if she's tired of standing she can float, if there are no more seats she can sit on the air.

3) Fire Wisp/Fire Spirit: with this power WS can turn into a small ghost-like creature that glows orange. She can move faster in this form and can even phase through solid objects. She can only go into this form when she has her ruby girl necklace on. (And because it is a spirit form it can't set things on fire because it is not tangible.)

Skills: She can speak English, Scandinavian, and Norwegian. She's great at hiding in the shadows (hence the name). She is also great at adapting to whatever situation she is in. And she knows a bit of parkour/free running/whatever you want to call it.

Weaknesses: Being submerged in water (for the obvious reason that her powers revolve around fire), being without her ruby necklace, betrayal, extreme emotions, losing control, being compleatly unable to see (e.g. being blinded by light, tear gas, a blind-fold, etc...). And being knocked unconscious.

Equipment: Black cloak, boots, and fingerless gloves, white long sleeved (in cold months)/short sleeved (in warm months) shirt, white pants, and a black belt. Ruby necklace. And hidden wrist blades.

===PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE===


Personality: WS has a pretty straight forward personality, calm under pressure, but can sometimes get a bit out of hand, and her crazy powers don't help. She gets excited when she sees new technology or foods. She's a bit of a socially awekward social butterfly but once you get to know her she's a spaz.

Strengths: Hiding, adaptability, patience, self-control, and quick thinking.

Interests: New things such as any kind of technology, pizza, old books, and animals.

Habits: Reading, learning new things, trying to fit in, secretly stopping small crimes, and searching for a way to free her sister.


===PERSONAL BACKGROUND===


Family Members: Huge Diss (father) Arica Afi (mother) Remma Dissafi (older sister)

Place of Origin: Norway

History: It was the year 1610 when twelve-year-old Maritha and her fourteen-year-old sister Remma were orphaned after their village was destroyed by invaders. The sisters salvaged what they could from their ruined home and set out to find a new home. After a few months of travel the sisters settled in a small Norse village, Remma taking up work as a seamstress. As the years passed Maritha discovered that she could move things with her mind and if she got angry or scared they would combust.

When Maritha was 15 her sister gave her a black cloak with their family crest on it's collar. She always had it on. One day Remma and Maritha were out in the woods looking for berries to sell for a little extra money. Suddenly they were stopped by an old woman asking for food. The girls didn't give her anything of what they had gathered but they did tell her where the village was. The woman then leaned on her staff and said, "You tell a poor old woman where to find food, but do not show her kindness by giving her some of your own?" the woman straightened up.
"We are out looking for food ourselves mama." Remma replied, "like I said the village is just a mile that direction." she gestured behind her.
The woman then began a chant and her staff began to glow, "If your give a stranger just help you are no help at all, you know not if my hunger is great or small! For giving me direction I give you thanks, but without food for energy I shant make it very far. No food for me means none for you, you shall not have a crumb I guarantee 'till I have gone to face eternity!" and with that an orb of light was shot at the sisters. Remma pushed Maritha into near by bushes right before she was hit. There was a flash and then nothing, the witch was gone and in the middle of the path sat a small red jewel in the shape of a girl. Maritha grabbed the jewel and placed it in a pocket on her cloak. When she arrived back in the village she saw the old woman again, "What did you do to my sister!?" she shouted.
The woman turned in surprise, mad that her magic hadn't hit both girls. So, she shot another ball of magic at the girl. Maritha, using her own powers, ran at the woman with rocks and other things flying beside her. Her effort was in vain though, because she was hit with the woman's magic! The Witch had frozen her in ice and to make sure that she would stay that way the witch throw her in a river and she drifted and later sank. Many years later Maritha was freed by one of Starfire's power rays that went stray, hit her chunk of ice deep in the water, and she floated ashore. When Maritha awoke she was in a new place. And was confused by all the new things she saw.

Now, after two years of living in our time The White Shadow has been giving random acts of heroics around the city.

Sample rp: White Shadow had just finished her dinner and was watching the city with sharp eyes, 'Maritha, overthere.' said Remma's voice as WS's necklace tugged to the left. WS looked and saw a man and a woman getting into an unmarked van then speeding out of an ally. WS's eyes glowed orange and she turned into her wisp form and chased after the van to see what the two were up to. When she caught up to the van she phased in and listened, "Come on, we gotta get the TNT to the docks by mid-night." the woman said.
"I know, but the traffic is not helping." the man replied.
'We need to stop them Maritha.' Remma said.
"I know but we can't do anything too crazy or this stuff will explode." WS replied.

Claimed.

Okay, telekinesis is the power to influence objects with your mind, yes. Whenever something has the suffix -kinesis it's meaning the ability to influence and control something. Pyrokinesis has the prefix pyro, which means fire.

So in other words, pyrokinesis is the ability to manipulate and control fire. Being able to lift someone and make them spontaneously combust is a different power. And not approved. You must understand if you can lift someone and make them explode or burst into flame, you pretty much kill them outright. Not approved.

Your power to turn into a fire wisp seems fine, but can you burn things while in it? Are you able to frequently use this in combat?

You have five weaknesses but barely any of them help defeat your character. What does being submerged in water do to help defeat you? You don't mention what it could do. And losing control isn't really a weakness unless it's going to hurt you. Betrayal and extreme emotions are not valid weaknesses.

Time travel is a no-no on our forum. Sorry.

Please post again when you've addressed all of my concerns.

I will update once I have fixed the weaknesses and the powers, but if I change the back story she will be a compleatly different person. She can't time travle willy-nilly like The Doctor, she was just sent to our time by a witch who wanted her to go away. If I make her from modern times some of the aspexts of her character would be extreemly different. If this site won't accept that one little bit I'll take my OC to a different on. Thank you for the sugestions they have been duely noted and filed.

... Seriously?

You can't change the character just because we don't allow time travel?

Part of being a roleplayer is being able to adapt to different situations, and play more than one role if you want to be good at it. So what if she can't time travel? She could have been in a village completely excluded from the outside world, preserving old customs like the Amish or something. Time travel isn't your only option here.

If you seriously can't work with that, and want to go to another site just because your comfort zone's being challenged, then safe travels. We usually work with teenagers that have a lot more maturity.

I haven't been following this issue fully but if one of our moderators believed your posts and nano should not be on the form you should register that there was something very wrong with them and respect the staff's opinion to delete it because we don't do that often. If you can not respect out staff and their choices there's no place for you here. So in the words of Naruto "Believe it!" And either accept and change your character or leave but don't be rude to the staff. Also Izzy thanks for helping stand up for Wrath.

I still want my character to remain from 1610, so, the which have frozen WS with her magic and tossed her in the river and she floated out to sea. She sunk to the bottom and eventually the spot where she had drifted would later become the river/lake that the Titan's Tower overlooks. One day some practice went haywire and one of Starfire's power rays hit her chunk of ice deep in the water. When it broke open she floated to the surface where she washed ashore near the edge of Jump City not too far from the T Tower, not knowing where she was or what had happened. The Titans never knew that they had released her either. Now we don't have time travel.

Please take note of the following. These things cannot and will not be argued.

1. The only individuals allowed to post in someone's application are the member submitting the character and moderators who are reviewing it. Posts from other regular members in these threads can, will, and should be deleted. If you are not a mod, and this is not your character application, you should not be posting here. If you have a concern, still do not post here. Instead, contact a moderator or global moderator via Private Message to convey your concern. Thank you.

2. Time travel is not an option as a power because it breaks continuity. Characters also cannot be from the future, because their reality in the future would decide how the future turns out. Characters from the past who have come to the present are acceptable. This is so because it does not threaten the time-stream. Again, this point cannot and will not be argued. However, a witch character having the power to send him through time could be seen as a valid concern. Having the character get frozen by the witch's magic for hundreds of years, as presented by White Shadow's most recent post, would be completely acceptable.

3. Interactions within the application process must be kept professional, as all interactions on this site should be. Whether you are having a bad day or not does not make you exempt from this rule. Treat other members with respect and patience. This is a community, and we want to keep it primarily a friendly one. Wrath, I appreciate your willingness to assist with application approvals. However, after reviewing your posts, I feel that you stepped out of line. You are not the only one at fault, but as a moderator please hold yourself to a higher standard when it comes to providing respectful, gentle, and patient communication with members. Sarcasm is not acceptable.

4. This disturbance has been ended. There will be no further discussion on it. There will be no hard feelings. There will be no grudges. There will be peace, respect, and forgiveness by all parties to all parties. Dar has spoken, and Dar speaks the loudest. Please continue with this review as normal.

Thank you for your time.

I'll get to work on fixing everything as soon as I have time...which will probably be later this afternoon or tonight.

I haven't received any more harassing private messages or snarkiness here, so yay. After I make this post I'll be removing all non-mod posts.

Right...as I said, this power isn't approved. Telekinesis is barely approved by its lonesome, but again, as I mentioned before, being able to automatically ignite/explode them isn't going to be approved, unless you can only use this ability on inanimate/inorganic objects.

I still need you to refine your weaknesses, but don't worry about that until the powers are amended.
