Jaime Wyatt: OOC Background
May. 20th, 2014 04:17 pmSo I was talking to Allie the other day and mentioned wistfully that I was looking forward to playing Katniss. She said, just be a Katniss expy! So here it is: I put Katniss and Matt (SUmmers) in a blender and made this:

BIO
Jaime was abandoned by her birth-parents at a young age, and lived for several years in a foster home with two other children, Ellen (the mom) and Ellen's mother Violet. Jaime was Violet's favorite, and they grew close, until she was adopted at age six. As a child, she was quiet at first -- foster care tends to make one a more private person, even that young -- but overall she had a pretty normal childhood, public school, friends coming over, popsicles and community pool visits in the summer. Things got rougher in junior high when Jaime discovered her true heritage, much to her (and her parents') surprise and dismay. She had trouble controlling her powers at first, and there were a few very awkward situations. She decided she was still interested in boys (and maybe girls) but perhaps it might be best to put dating on hold until she figured out a way around her condition. Besides getting asked about it once in awhile, her life didn't change much for the decision.
( TW: mentions of assault, sexual assault, murder and survival sex. too unpleasant; didn't read: Jaime loses her parents and becomes a bitter loner. She's currently on a mission to give a letter to its recipient. )

PERSONALITY
Is... is that a pile of poop? And it looks like there are little knives sticking out of it.
No, seriously, Jaime's rough around the edges. She's pessimistic as a lifestyle choice, mistrustful, and generally antisocial. She lets her guard down occasionally, usually in the water. She *wants* to trust people. She's not a totally hopeless case. Oh, also, she is wry and sardonic all over the place.

forgot about this one, haha: POWERS
Jaime, if she lets herself, will change quickly to suit the person she's with, in voice, demeanor, opinions, even appearance (usually not enough to get her noticed for it).
Her sweat/skin oils and saliva contain megadoses of oxytocin. Meaning physical contact with her will evoke feelings of affection, desire and/or well-being. This also tends to lower inhibitions and enhance pliability. Echoes of some of these effects are also evoked by her singing/guitar playing.
