Everything they say
Name: Liam Moores
Age: 28
Species: Human
height: 5.9ft
Relationship Status: Single
Sexuality: Straight
Personality: Quirky, awkward, skittish and at the same time empathic to a fault and in most cases, very quick to pick up on people's subtle social cues. Liam's personality while observant, receptive, open also shows his honesty and assertive nature. Despite the fact that his health is his biggest detriment, mostly because of what he fights and hunts on the spiritual plane - rarely has he ever come out unscathed. He's a team player, opting to work with those who do value teamwork over trying to be all self independant and something to be fixed. He sees himself as gifted
Appearance:
Physical: Liam in the physical tends to wear long sleeve, non-revealing clothing akin to hoodies, cargo pants and enclosed shoes and if he really must, he cannot wear clothes as the pressure from putting them on for him is agonizing, resting them within the pockets of his hoodie however make it much easier. His hands should any dare see them, are missing fingernails and at various points incredibly disjointed and almost skeletal. For most things he cannot hold a teacup, but instead has to use the palms of his hands to cup things. To eat, he tends to use chopsticks as these are the easiest form of cutlery for him to use over the more European forks and knives. Sporting dirty blond hair, silvery blue eyes, his nose is slightly crooked from possibly one to many breaks. Small scars line his lips, and while appearing relaxed its mostly because he feels too compressed within his physical form. Standing at 5.9, and an approx weight of 89kg. Liams facial features are gaunt, looking almost as if he's eaten considerably less than he usually has. This is because of what he does takes considerable resources from his physical 'shell'. Humans weren't meant to project for as long as he does and despite it - his health is complicated as he puts it.
Spiritual form:
Spirits and physical are entirely different, on the plane he lacks the facial features that humans usually have on the physical plane replaced with 'lights' over the black veil where his face usually would be. These lights shift in colour, brightness and what he appears to be wearing is that of a hooded belted jacket, gloves and long trousers that fold up around his boots. In this form, his perception is much larger than merely where he is looking. Sound is different here and its in this place that he actually feels more able to do things than in the physical. Certain locations are brighter depending on what kinds of energy flows, darker areas usually mean that other entities inhabit them. Without some of the constraints of the physical he has been able to find things, places with a great deal of ease however magical, totemic barriers both can stop him entering a place and wards, well, stop him being able to reach or find the location entirely unless his physical body is there instead.
A would in this plane transfers over to his physical and any interaction with his body while he is in this state can cause serious complications as a spirit who looses their body runs the risk of being trapped here. Since colour isnt the best of how things transfer across - he cannot read what is projected on electrical devices only those upon open books or magical texts. Even in a projected form, this is what reveals itself and in most cases communication is rarely straight forwards from spiritual to physical. Some spirit boxes can pick up snippets, but its primitive at best and the boards, well, in his books he avoids as they are beacons to other entities than himself with less than kind intentions. In the physical when manifested, his clothing changes between that of grey, black and flickering colours - almost as if he were underwater. With witches communication, if a link is created is rather easy - communicating with others without it - is more like charades. Demons - without needing a witches help can directly communicate with him, though he can see their horrific nature - from Vassagos advice, 'better to speak but not look'.
Aura Color(opt.): Depending on his emotions its like watching his aura flickering a mixture of pastel colours. When in spiritual form, anything recently interacted with leaves trace imprints that ling before rapidly dissipating.
History (Opt.):
Liam knows it more than those around him how often he has been brushed by death, maybe its why he finds that when he's outside of his mortal coil everything is much easier to understand and comprehend.
For a human Liam as a young adult experienced the worst of what humanity was, his family taken out in a road side ambush by local armed criminals while they were travelling through doing contract work for various private organizations.
This in turn, while appearing not as hardened as any might think, was also the best way for him to survive. In doing so, managed to learn how to project himself out of his body and learn how to survive both on this plane and the physical.
After four years, assumed dead he was found at an embassy seeking asylum to go back home. Both his hands had been broken to the point where any dextrous movement apart from using chopsticks to eat was almost impossible and any exertion of pressure caused considerable amounts of pain. Pressure being pushing buttons on a controller to, accidentally tapping his fingers. While he doesn't go into the extent of what changed him, he prefers to live in the now, dealing with the number of health issues he experiences. Sometimes its acute aches and pains along his body from wounds experienced in the spiritual, other times, its the migraines and he shuts himself away from the world for a time. Still, it doesn't stop him moving around on the 'spiritual plane' though this also can be just as dangerous if not deadly if he isnt too careful.
Faction:
None
Ranking:
None
Special powers?:
Liam's powers rely mostly when he has projected from his physical body. Without the body in short he can't come back and just like the matrix, if he dies in the spirit realm the tether to his body breaks. His body lives on in a vegetative state, while his spirit has already moved on. However, damage in the physical does travel across to his physical when he returns to it. However back in the spiritual realm this damage doesn't transfer the other way.
Spiritual Plane Abilities:
Manifest Spiritual weapon: The ability to conjure or create a shard which acts as an extension of self as a weapon, this cannot become a ranged weapon and can take the form of a dagger to that of a single edged longblade, or even a polearm - however once out of the hands of the wielder it crumbles apart to flecks of light. These weapons cannot affect the physical. However entities that are both on the spiritual and physical react to it with serious pain and can be destroyed when slain, ie entity possessing a physical being and or object. A manifested spiritual entity on the physical etc.
Force Physical Manifestation: The ability with enough exertion to make himself visible on the physical plane. On Cameras he is invisible and for those of non-magical talent or being, this is significantly harder.
On the scale of easiest to hardest,
Demons can see him automatically regardless of him being on the physical or spiritual and understand him.
Witches and those of magical talent are the easiest however understanding can be hard without a link or a spiritual communication device.
Werewolves are next though under the same instances being unable to understand what it might be saying without a device for him to communicate through.
Fae depending since he has never met one and doubts they exist.
Vampires its incredibly hard due to their negative nature.
Lastly humans of a non-magical nature the hardest.
For those who are not Demon, should he speak anything he says is garbled - to Demons he is easily understood. For those of magical nature - they require a link to understand.
Kinetic Shift <can in spirit form, clumsily move an physical plane object, ie, bump a photo frame, nudge a tea cup, press a hand print onto glass. But its incredibly weak, even create a tug on fabric.
Blink, step.
Blink step is exactly what it says, to vanish on the spiritual and reappear somewhere within a step, somewhere else. Normally after returning to his body - the after effects can be a severe onset of nausea, migraines and after strenuous moments - seizures.
Physical and Spirit Plane:
Spiritual Projection: Able to project his spirit from his body, however his body essentially goes limp and unresponsive, in order for him to get back into the physical plane he needs to find his body. In this state he is unable to be seen, or interact with the world in the default state. More like a silent observer to a world of ashen grey, television screens are unable to be read or any screen for that matter are just blank surfaces. He can also on a whim levitate, travel and move through objects. However, the longer he is in this state the more taxing it is for his body.
Empathic spacial awareness: Imagine being able to read emotions of an entire room, but it being to the point that at times it can be so loud of deafening despite being empty to begin with. Liam is receptive to emotions like a lighting rod hits lightning, violence and aggression can also affect his mood, just as fear, pain, anxiety and dread. In his physical - though dulled its something he needs to self manage as this can tax his stamina to resist. In the same instance, emotional influencers, perception changers or even those who try. Find it hard to do so against him mostly because what emotion they project, he picks up instead of what they try to influence himself with.
Ghost sight: His eyes turn milky white like someone with cataracts, however in the same regard its like opening a window with the lights on during a dark night. You see them just as they see you and not all are friendly. After effects of using this are temporary blindness, vertigo and a loss of the sense to smell. However, using this runs the risk of dangerous spirit elements trying to use this window as a way into the physical. As they say - the eyes are the windows to the soul.
Blue Fire: Fire of the soul usually shows through during moments where he has to using his physical form hit a ghost out from a possessed physical object. This becomes more visible over his physical form, but when in the spiritual the blue fire flashes as the spirit is essentially 'dislodged' from its possessed vehicle. This fire is useless against vampires, demons and as for werewolves, their inner wolf sees the fire more but not its heat. Magically inclined however are able to 'catch' it, like one finds feathers and if careful store it for more potent rituals. The after effects of using this generally results in hypersensitivity to light, seizures, muscular cramps and mental states of confusion or blackouts.
Special Skills:
Despite his handicaps, he knows a great deal more than what most humans tend to really know. If you want to find something, someone, or reach out to make contact with something on the other side. He can try, though usually there are rules that he prefers to avoid. While as a hunter of dark, dangerous and malicious spirits, he holds no malicious intent to other supernatural's unless they really, really go out of their way to give him a hard time. For him, demons exist and he doesn't know witches exist, vampires or werewolves. Magic - can and will prevent him entering or exiting areas as he is not as aware of how it works same goes for Fae magic.
Established Relationships:
Vassago - Employed to find things of serious value, information, items and such. Vassago so far has actually found more use for him than the old individuals who keep pestering him to try and contact their dead goldfish or other annoying things. On the rare instance has he actually had to fight crazed dangerous spiritual entities. Two times he had been forced to run.
Anything else?:
Loves pet dogs and cats. Will give them all the pets.
Plot ideas?: (opt.)
Open to anyone :D
