One of these days you'll be
Savannah Sullivan
Savannah Sullivan
Under the covers, you'll be
Full name: Savannah Lucille Sullivan
Nickname: Dreama, Sav, Anna, Luci
DOB//Age: December 25th, 20
Gender: Female
Species: Mutant
Alliance: Government through forceUnder the table and you'll realize.
Power name: Precognition
Type: Mental
Origin: Hereditary
Usage Cost: Not very much, its not something that is used very often
Weakness: Doesn't affect her unless its tied directly into her own future
Description: The only time this gift comes into play is when something drastic is going to happen in her future. Its usually the immediate future that is shown to her but every now and then she might catch a glimpse of something years ahead of her but she usually puts this down to a dream. She also cannot see the future of those around her unless their future ties directly into her own.
Power name: Astral Projection
Type: Mental I guess....
Origin: Unknown
Usage Cost: None- only used when asleep
Weakness: See above...can only be used when asleep and even then its hit and miss
Description: Only seems to happen when she is asleep. She thinks she is dreaming when she does this since she hasn't quite grasped the concept of being asleep yet being aware somewhere else. This power could more than likely be perfected if she was kept awake long enough for her to learn correctly.
Power name: Pipedream
Type: Vocal
Origin: Unknown
Usage Cost: None
Weakness: Doesn't always work!
Description: This is the one power Sav has complete control over and she can be either awake or asleep to do it. All she needs to do is get even a moment of eye contact and she can lull anyone into sleep. Except very powerful psychics since their mental Shields are generally better than anyone else's. This power is usually in the form of soft singing when used.
Power name: Dream Manipulation/ Dream Projection
Type: Mental
Origin: Unknown
Usage Cost: None
Weakness: Its difficult to grasp onto any one idea in the mind so it can be hard to manipulate certain dreams. Other person must be asleep
Description: This is not two separate powers. Sav's ability to manipulate dreams also comes in the form of projecting her own onto another. Example, if she were to have a nightmare then she could project that onto the person nearest her. The other person MUST be asleep in order for her to do this. Again, to manipulate any dream the person must be asleep for her to do so. If you think about it, she could bring you down to your knees by making you really believe that the people you love most hate you.That all of your days are numbered;
Appearance: Sav is a very pale white causing her to have a rather ethereal beauty (almost bordering on the sickly). Standing at 5'3 and weighing just under a 100lbs she is very short and incredibly malnourished although this is due to being drugged up for most of her day leading her to not eating- most of her food is given to her via drip. Sav's defining feature is her fiery red hair which makes a startling contrast to her white skin and if you look very closely there is a fine dusting of freckles over her nose but this is only really noticeable when she has been out in the sunlight (which is never). Her eyes change colour depending on how awake she is, ranging from dark blue almost black to a very pale ice blue but at all times there are faint flecks of silver evident.
Sav's dress sense is incredibly simple since her arrival at the compound. She wears only plain dresses or light cottons trousers ((pants)) and tshirts. In her dreams she is a little more elaborate and will often appear in white floaty dresses with lots of lace and frills. Unless its a dark dream where she will appear before you in black clothing, severe and dark. Being incredibly childlike she will always have her hair pulled back into a ponytail or loose...and if someone in the compound is feeling particularly nice they will do her hair up into plaits and buns.
Sav also carries a toy doll around with her at all times, almost like a security blanket.
Personality: Savannah is a rather bright young woman who has fallen into the hands of the wrong people. She has always been a cheerful and happy person but finds it difficult to be that girl now that she is nearly always locked away from the world. She has limited human contact and so struggles to bond with those who are around her- she likes people but cannot bring herself to trust them or allow them near her without fear of something terrible happening to her.
Sav has a near child like personality in the way she views the world- being kept in an almost dream like state leaves her totally defenseless since she is neither awake or asleep meaning she cannot use any of her powers effectively since they work based on either being awake or asleep (and that is how they would like to keep her). Because of this she will tend to either walk or sit in a corner humming to herself and playing with her doll- she isn't capable of protecting herself and will sometimes call out for her 'mummy' if something becomes to great or emotional for her.
Along with her childlike innocence and naivety she can be quite vicious when it comes to either her own well being or that of her doll's. She doesn't like people touching her and will fight when need be but because she is kept in a constant state of malnutrition she is physically unable to keep people away from her and so will more often than not run away into her own little dream world locked away in her mind- this protects her from the things she is forced to endure during tests and drugs since she cannot do so whilst aware.
Sav suffers from narcolepsy meaning she will often fall asleep during the day, sometimes in completely inappropriate places. She cannot help this and is often ashamed of the fact that during the times she is awake she cannot help but fall asleep- during this time she is also defenceless as these bouts happen for only ten minutes or so at a time (the longest was almost two hours). She hates the fact that she suffers from this condition and more often than not beats herself up over it thinking herself to be weaker than usual. Along with falling asleep she may also collapse due to any sort of emotional reactions such as laughter, anger, surprise or fear. She is fully conscious during these episodes but finds herself unable to move or react until the bout has finished.
History: Savannah was born into a normal and slightly eccentric family formed of her parents and her grandmother. Whilst she is technically English she was raised in New Zealand when her parents decided that a change in culture would do them the world of good- so they moved as soon as it was alright to do so (when Savannah was around three years old at the time). Although they had wanted a change of culture it was also a reason to see Mary's mother a little more since she had moved to New Zealand several years before when she and her husband had retired- although Sav's grandfather had died a few years before she had even been born so she had never met him, although she had heard so many stories that she felt like she knew him anyway despite the fact that he was long since deceased.
By the time Sav turned six her parents realised that their little girl was a little different to other children her age. Every once in a while she would have small episodes when she grew too excited, leaving her unable to move for a few moments at a time and some days where she was simply too tired to go and play. This of course worried her parents so much that she was sent to specialist after specialist and eventually by the time she turned eight she was diagnosed as a sufferer of narcolepsy causing her parents all sorts of worry. Being a sufferer of this she would never be like other children and would never be able to do all of the things that they do- for example she would never be able to drive since she could fall asleep at the wheel.
Despite her setbacks Sav turned into a beautiful young girl and by the time she was fifteen was well known as an amateur model, working part time after school and during the holidays so that she could save up for her college tuition. With fiery red hair and eyes that seemed to change colour depending on how alert or tired she was she was highly sought after to model teenage clothing but she didn't like all the attention and so would more often than not stick with the one agency and simply do shoots that required wearing masks or makeup that concealed most of her face. Despite being in the limelight she liked to keep herself to herself. It was also at this age that her grandmother passed on, leaving her a small but welcome sum of money towards her college fund and a beautiful doll that had always been called Josephine for as long as she could remember. Along with all these changes in her life there was also the fact that Sav was changing mentally and not just physically- for some reason she was able to leave her body during sleep and do other things normal people couldn't do. She told her parents but they hushed her quickly and told her never to mention it again but it wasn't something she could just forget and so she began to seek out answers, asking more questions than was deemed appropriate and she soon caught the attentions of the wrong people.
These people were the American government who had agents all over the world looking for people who were abnormal and since she happened to have more knowledge than was deemed possible for a non mutant she was quickly put under surveillance. It took three months before they found the right moment to strike- the one night her parents decided to take a night off and spend the night away from their home leaving their daughter to look after herself for the night (she was a practical child and perfectly capable of looking after herself). She doesn't really remember what happened that night but she does remember a man breaking into the house dressed in black, and the next was waking in a cell with only her doll and the clothes on her back. Panicking she soon passed out again, dead to the world until she was brought around.
Sav has spent the last four and a half years locked away from the world being kept in a constant dream like state. Whilst she is still incredibly attractive it is more of an ethereal beauty caused by malnutrition and lack of love- her body has grown frail and thin, her skin so white she looks like she could be dead not alive and if you were to see her asleep you would really think that was so. She has learnt that the reason she is here is because she is less normal than she thought and that she is in fact a mutant with abilities most humans only dream of- but its nothing like a fairytale, in fact she is living in a near constant nightmare and she hopes that one day she will wake up to find that it really had been no more than a dream, that she is back home with her family but knows that it is never going to happen. She is trapped here, used as a test subject but there are rumours around the complex, rumours that she is going outside to be used as some sort of test....she doesn't know what it is and doesn't think she can care about it since she would rather think about nice things but the part of her that hasn't gone completely knows that whatever it is isn't going to be pleasant.
Her parents have long since started to give up hope that their little girl is still alive, thinking that she had gone out that night and fallen asleep somewhere leading to her doing something harmful to herself. They cannot forgive themselves for leaving her that night but what they don't know is that if they hadn't left her alone they might have never lived the night- but perhaps they would have preferred it. What they also don't know is that Sav is going to be used to try and locate other mutants, with her power she can locate almost anyone through their dreams and nightmares and the best way to do this is to throw her into a world where there are mutants constantly around her.All of them one to one hundred.
Likes: Her doll, being asleep, reading, freedom, the thought of a happy family life away from tests and drugs.
Dislikes: Drugs, being awake, hatred, dogs, being alone and the dark
Life's Ambition: None, she's barely there as it is!
Crippling Fear: Fading away and no longer existing. Being stuck in the darkness forever.
Greatest Secret: Is terrified of being awake. Being awake means she has to deal with what is happening to her.
Quirks: If on the rare occasion she is holding hands with someone she will swing their arms back and forth and will raise the arm and spin beneath it. Acts like a child. Sings to herself. Talks through her doll.
Hobbies: None.
Profession: Will be a trackerAll of them millions.
Psychological Condition: ha ha. I see what you did there.....she's a little insane
Moral Code: She doesn't understand what the word moral means anymore let alone have one
Social Issues: The drugs she has been forced under has knocked her back several stages. Where she was once an incredibly bright and gifted child she no longer understands most social interactions and struggles to deal with people she has never met before. Like any child she will take most comments at face value and whilst distrustful of strangers will fall for the usual tricks.
Other Issues: Is not really "aware" of things around her
Public Behavior: Public? Whats that?
Languages: English but once upon a time knew various others but that knowledge has long since been destroyed
Mode of Transport: None
Favorite Sayings: None
Motto: NoneAll of them trillions.
Alias: Bunny
Age: 22
Contact: PM only
Code: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICESPIALIDOCIOUSTAKEN FROM PREVIOUS CHARACTER! (cos I'm lazy...)
[/blockquoteShe supposed it would have been classed as a beautiful night- even within her twisted and dark mind she could see the appeal it would have on most people. The moon was full and the night was moderately warm, which was to be expected seeing how it was the height of summer- and yet, there was something about it that made the young woman sneer in contempt.
It wasn't the fact that everywhere she looked there were couples of every type wandering around together (although it made her sneer deepen) and it wasn't the fact that she was alone she shuddered at the thought of even thinking about being out with someone)...and yet, there was most certainly something about this night that bothered her and she wished she could tell what it was.
"Excuse me," She looked over to the left slightly and took note of the man standing to the side of the bench she was sitting on, "Do you mind?" He gestured to the side of her and she realised with a small jolt that he wanted to sit next to her. Was he mad in some way? Did he not realise that she could quite possibly destroy his mind if she so wished? Her sneer turned into a cold smile.
"If you do not mind sitting next to a mutant," Her voice was smooth, silky and she remembered another reason as to why she had called herself 'Siren', "Then I will gladly allow you to sit next to someone such as me".
His eyes widened and he backed away ever so slightly, but that small move had caused her smile to widen as she slowly stood up.
"Ah, such a shame....but then, what was I expecting? A human like you couldn't possibly understand me," A leather gloved hand rose and as it did, the man rose with it, "A pity really." Her eyes narrowed and the man was sent flying back into the wall with a sickening thud, causing several bystanders to scream in alarm and in horror at the girl stood among them.
She tilted her head towards them and her smile turned into a sickening grin.
"Who else would like to play with me?"
