Name: Oneira Real Name: Oneira Shadow (but she'll never say her last name :P) Played by: Tiffa Homeword: Original Background, aka. maybe interesting info ^_^: The last of the First Children (the Children are genetically created boys and girls with magic powers. Like Meiri or Ambika. the First Children were, as their namestates, the first of them) was supposed to be a light wielder, taking Light as a general term for both light and dark. It, however, "failed", as the embryo divided leaving two behind. Thus, the Light child, Hikari, and the Shadow Child, named Shadow were born. Shadow changed her name as soon as she could to something not as "simple" as her original name was, instead opting for something more... interesting. Thus she changed her name to Oneira. Much to her changrin, the doctors still put her last name as Shadow. Physical Description: Oneira is a tall, shapely elf, with long jet black hair (styled somehow like Pokemon's Sabrina's, yet tied in a tail by her neck), jet black eyes, and dark skin. She is -not- a Drow, seeing as the genes that were taken to create her and Hikari weren't related to this species, but her skin color seems to be caused by her power over shadows. Oneira is ussually seen wearing elegant clothes (she doesn't wear skirts, only pants. Curse my lack of english ;_;) , all completely black, or if in a rare ocasion she's being informal, a black leather jacket and black jeans. Powers: Oneira can see quite well in total darkness, and her hearing is superb. As stated, Oneira is the first Shadow Child. This means that she is a shadow wielder... and quite probably the strongest of all the Children that can wield shadows. Between Oneira's powers are the ability to manipulate shadows (change their shapes), and teletransportation through shadows (she needs a line of contact with the place she wants to go... but she can sink into her own shadow {although she still needs a shadow large enough to emerge from]). Also, betwen her more advanced powers, are the ability to solidify shadows. She can attack using the, but they won't probably hurt much, although an onslaugh of solid shadow objects can knock a person silly (not unconscious). She can also pin someone into the ground by their shadow, this will last for a few minutes (or until a bright light is exposed to the shadow, it works much like Slayers' Shadow Snap). More explanation on how she does that later (in Equipment.) Probably her nastiest power is the one that enables her to HURT people through their shadows. While the most she can cause are bruises, never cuts, this is still quite painfull (and surprising). This will also be explained later (in Equipment ^^;) Weaknesses: Her main weakness is one, bright light. This disrupts ALL of her spells, and blinds her quite easily. Also, her powers won't work in complete darkness. Skills: Oneira is rather strong, and athletic, and can put up a mean fight barehanded if she wishes too. Her absolute best skill, however, is that of wielding a whip with precision. Equipment: Oneira really has two items worth of mention: Some sort of small lightsticks. She uses this to provide light in absolute darkness and thus be able tu use her powers. She has six of this, and each one can last up to ten minutes before they have to be recharged (via a power outlet) Her other, and most prized posession, is her whip. The whip is made of an indeterminate substace, and is black like night. it doesn't seem to hold any properties, except to a Shadow wielder. With this whip, Oneira can snap a shadow into the ground, as well as causing damage to the shadow itself if she doesn't feel like attacking the person (the results WILL be the same :P) Personality: Oneira is rather... cold. Unlike some of the other Shadow children, Oneira does have feelings... but she finds them bothersome. She looks at most other people with contempt (her sister Hikari is one of them) or she just ignores them all toguether. Then there are the odd ocasions in which she decides to be a complete bitch towards somebody. The only person she really seems to care about are the other Shadow children, to whom she's ussually seen as the leader. She also tends to act... intimate towards them, in front of other people. Wether this is true or not is only for her and the other children to know. Conections: Oneira will have heard stories from Meiri and Ambika (particularily the first :P), wether she payed them attention is another matter :P She know Meiri and finds her annoying. She also knows Ambika, ans is, all in all, quite proud of her, since she is able to manipulate the Elemental Shadow.
