Name:
Persephone -X-Affix-
My Innermost Apocalypse - The Binding of Isaac
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Specie: Human
Physical Description: Tall with pale skin and lavender hair. Dressed in a black cloak with a cyan scarf, arm braces, clawed gloves, and no footwear. Her eyes are always veiled in a black blindfold.
Personality: She appears to be apathetic, not giving much thought of others. All that concerns her is the future and what it holds. However, she has been rather hostile to those that would "think to defy fate" and deals with such with extreme prejudice. She does, however, have a soft spot for gardening.
History: No one knows how this leader of Delphi came to such a group. What is known, though, is that she foresees a major catastrophe that threatens the world's existence. As far as she knows, this cannot be averted - it's meant to be. To that end, she seeks out the strongest of Earth's people to save and bring into the new world, being the "master of the Ark" in a sense.
Equipment: She wields the Wheel of Fate, a parasol-shaped Affix that contains the Three Fates themselves. Through it, she receives glimpses of the future, events that are bound to occur. It can also affect the flow of the seasons around herself. With this, she can prolong heat waves and winters.
Abilities: As stated above, the Wheel of Fate grants her a relatively strong degree of clairvoyance, as well as lets her control the climate around. It can also plant special seeds and control lightning, water, and wind.
Other: No one knows the extent of her clairvoyant powers. Even if she says all events are meant to be, she won't hesitate to give her all in battle, usually with the determination to win.
