"Oh, you think you've got a bad hair day?"

0 · 242 views · located in Dofrey Asylum, Canada

a character in “Dofrey Asylum”, as played by VitaminHeart

Description

Name: Medusa. (Not 'the' Medusa mind. She was given the nickname by her human 'family' and was also expected to use it as a strage name, so she kept it.)
[Image pending, finding a picutre for a gorgon is HARD.}
Nickname: Meddie.
Ethnicity: Greek Cypriot, though was not raised there.
Birthday: 8th November
Age: 19
Room Number: 30
Height: 5'7
Weight: 125lbs
Eye Color: Luminous green.
Hair Color: Black and white striped, scaly, has teeth.
Build: Willowy and somewhat athletic, though Meddie has gotten somewhat underweight from living rough for some time.
Tattoos/Piercings: None.
Scars: Large, rather noticable scar on the side of her neck.

Clothing Styles: Meddie went through a faze of 'charity shop goth' that she never really moved on from. She genrally wears a long, black woolen coat, a long sleeved grey top, dark skirt and a thick woolen snood, as well as heavy boots and fingerless gloves. She deasn't like showing her skin off, as half of it is scaly.

Appearance: Meddie is pretty distinctive, being a gorgon. Most noticable is the fact that her hair is a matt of living, hissing snakes. Most are black and white banded seasnakes, though a few wipes seemed to be mixed in with them. The next most visivle thig it the mask. A metal mask has been fastened around her face to prevent her from using her abilities. It's metal, rather buky, with blackened glass eyeplates and a removable grate that lets Meddie talk, eat and breathe. The mask is locked on, and Maddie hasn't got the key for it. Her skin is marked with patches of pale green scales that often shed thier skin.

Skills/Powers:

- Looking Medusa directly in the face without her mask on, causing the victim to go into a state of extreme shock. Thier muscles lock up and they are generally rendered completly unreponsive for up to a day afterwards. However, these attacks will often trigger heart attacks or a cerebral haemorrhage, rendering the victim either seriously ill or dead. This ability is involuntary, and Meddie can't turn it off.

-Medusa's blood is an incredibly effective healing agent, seeming to have an almost miraculous effect in helping thoese effected recover from serious illness or injury. It seems to have incredibly antibiotic properties, and can kill almost any pathogens in a person's bloodstream. Unfortunately it takes large amounts of blood, tissue or bone to have the required effect.


Disorder: Isn't noticably mentally unstable, she is however very antisocial and hostile towards humans and humanoids most of the time. This, combined with being able to poentially kill others with her gaze, was considered a dangerous combination.

Species: Greek Gorgon

Phobias/Fears: Medusa is terrified of being killed over the medicianl properties of her body parts.

Bad Habits:
- Meddie's hair is almost always on the move, and will often be hissing at people, trying to bite someone, or stealing food. Meddie has no control over what the snakes get up to, other than pulling her hood up and hoping that they settle down. They often take agaisnt people without much reason.



Good Qualities:

Clever: Maddie is very intelligent and perceptive, easily picking up on things that others might miss. She has a decent knowledge of a wide range of subjects, and so can apply something she knows to most situations. She is also very good at planning under pressure, rarely seeming to lose her cool.

Caring: For thoese few that Meddie learns to care for, she is very protective of them, and will go to great lengths to ensure thier safety.

Bad Qualities:


Rude: Meddie is often rude and irritable with others. She is quite impatient with others and make not attempt to mocerate what she says to people, something that often gets her into trouble.

Cynical: She tends to automatically assume the worst in others, and always expects a sort of motive to whatever someone is doing. She finds it very hard to accept that someone is just being nice.

Self-esteem issues: Medusa is very touchy about her appearance. She is very much insecure about how she looks, and insulting that is one of the easiest ways to provoke her into a temper. In many ways she feels as if looking as she does makes her worth less than if she were to look more appealing. This often makes Meddie very defensive with people, often taking shows of affection as an attempt to make fun of her.

History: Medusa avoids ever talking about her past in any detail, and not very much is known, other than agt the time of her capture, she was in rather a lot of trouble. She was wanted by numerous hunters and black market traders, due to the medicinal propoerties of her blood, flesh, and bones. She'd already spent years trying to avoid being caught, and had initially assumed that the being from SCAR were also after her for such a reason.
