SECRETS// Ebony can shape-shift and although that isn't her secret, it plays the biggest part in it. when she was eight, ebony's home went up in flames in the middle of the night, she was the only survivor but paid the price with severe burns concentrated on the face and arms. since discovering her ability, ebony has used it to hide her true appearance from the world. her current appearance is her permanent look and she rarely changes from it, it has become her identity seen as she daren't ever return to that horrific scarred face she had to live with until she discovered shape shifting. she hasn't told anyone this.
GREATEST FEAR// Her secret getting out, or losing the ability to shape-shift. Ebony often suffers from nightmares where everyone finds out about her horrible scarred face and is shunned because of it. She thinks people will think less of her and not accept her, for all the lies if not for her disformed face.
GREATEST AMBITION// to be somebody, to make a difference, to live life to the full.
BIGGEST FLAW// isolates herself from others
FULL PERSONALITY//
One thing that Ebony proves is that nothing is what it seems and thats not just her appearance. Due to losing her parents and life as she knew it at such a young age, having to face bullies and a painful recovery, Ebony grew up faster than she should have, making her quite mature for her age. But although she's mature, wise and knows a lot about life already, the change her ability gave her allowed a childish side to come out. She likes practical jokes, letting her hair down, cartoons and playing on swings, slides and roundabouts. She tries to enjoy the things she never could after the fire. And because she felt that her life was taken that day and her ability gave her a second chance, she does everything she possibly can to live life to the full. Ebony seizes the moment, takes chances and wants to experience everything from life she can.

If she is anything, Ebony is a people person. After isolating herself from the world, Ebony now does everything she can to meet new people and make good friends but she never lets anyone get too close. She appears open and very talkative but rarely talks about herself, in fact she'll do anything to avoid the subject of herself including shooting out random facts. Being intelligent, Ebony enjoys interesting discussions, philosophy, religion, politics... anything and she's constantly looking to learn something new. She's not your average self centered teenager, she'd rather hear about how you're doing and what your problems are than ever talk about herself. But being so secretive can sometimes leave her more alone than ever before, sometimes even surrounding herself with people can't cure that.

Being so secretive and mysterious, Ebony often bottles up her emotions. She doesn't talk about her feelings, ever. But it's all got to come out some time and some how and it varies with Ebony. Sometimes she'll burst into tears and cry her problems away, other times she'll get angry, sometimes dangerously angry and a side of herself she isn't so keen on comes out. It's true that Ebony is emotionally driven, she's passionate and even sometimes overly dramatic. At times she can be so emotional that there is never a happy medium, happy, sad, excited... She can be pretty intense which worries her. One of her ultimate fears is falling in love, letting someone so close, being so vulnerable... Getting hurt. But at the same time she fears that she may never be able to experience such a thing because she isolates herself so much from others.

On the surface Ebony is a bubbly, happy, talkative, nice girl but the person on the inside is a lot different. She's insecure and self conscious, she has low esteem and cares about what people might think of her. She's scared of not being accepted and being alone, she wants to do everything she can in life and never miss a thing. She always wants to be having a good time and she always wants to be surrounded by people but what she doesn't realise is she's stopping herself from so much by being so secretive. Part of her wants to learn to open up more and let people in at Talons but really she's just very scared and very insecure, much like the little scarred girl she used to be.[/color][/font]

FULL HISTORY//
Monday November 13th 1989 was the happiest day of Connor and Sarah Pryce's life. Their prayers had finally been answered in the form of a beautiful little girl, who was certainly third time lucky for the Pryce family. Before Ebony came along, Sarah suffered two miscarriages and the couple had almost given up hope on ever having a child but Ebony's birth went smoothly and without problems.

The couple had met only three years prior to the birth of their daughter but their love was strong and true. They married after only four months of dating and moved in together immediately after wards. David was a qualified Doctor and Sarah a teacher; the future looked bright for little Ebony as her delighted parents cradled her safely in their arms.

Ebony's early childhood was the best time of her life. She was adored by her parents and she adored them, they spoiled her ever so slightly but Ebony was never a brat. She was a beautiful child and very girly, she loved putting on frilly bright coloured dresses and pretending she was a princess. However, despite her girly attitude there was no doubt that Ebony was a daddy's girl, she had an extremely strong bond with her father and with him gross stuff like fishing and looking for bugs suddenly wasn't so disgusting but extremely interesting to the youngster. She was a child who pleased both parents and not only that she excelled in her classes at school, showing great potential.

However, when she was eight, Ebony's entire world fell apart and everything she once knew seemed very far away. The Pryce house in Jacksonville, North Carolina went up in flames in the early hours on March 31st 1998. The fire alarms never went off, they had been faulty, so the Pryce family didn't wake up until it was too late. Sarah was found at the bottom of the stairs, she had fallen in a panic, been knocked unconscious and killed by the smoke. Connor, who had told his wife to flee the house while he got Ebony, died saving his daughter. Ebony was barely alive when the firemen found her and with severe burns all over her body but concentrated mostly around the face and arms.

The next couple of weeks Ebony spent in Intensive Care. It was going to be a long recovery, one she didn't know whether she could face without her parents. She wanted to cry, so badly but it hurt her scarred face too much, she had never known pain like this.

With her parents gone, Ebony's aunt and uncle became her carers. The following years saw Ebony under-go a series of after burn care and plastic surgery to try and restore what was left. It didn't make much difference. When she returned to school, she could hardly bare it, the other kids stared at her, some laughed, but most avoided her. It was going to be a lonely road and Ebony sunk into a depression she couldn't see the end of.

Up until Ebony discovered her power she was a walking shadow, she was no longer the bright, bubbly girl she once was. She didn't care about anything, she was emotionless. Shape-shifting gave her life again and she openly shared this with her aunt and uncle, too delighted to keep this information to herself. They were scared, freaked out and they didn't know what to do. Sensing this, Ebony became scared herself, she was going to keep this power, this ability no matter what happened because she knew this was the answer. This could make her happy again, she could be herself again. She ran away shortly after and came across Talon's, where she has been ever since.[/color][/font]

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE//
drinking wasn't something james did very often. in fact, james hardly ever drank. the last time he could remember alcohol touching his lips was his twenty-first birthday and as a result he remembered very little of that night. because for a person that didn't drink very often, james sure hit the bottle hard whenever he did. he wasn't sure why, perhaps it was because james believed when you were doing something, you should do it properly. it's probably a good thing he didn't drink often. but tonight he just fancied it and he wasn't quite sure why. james rarely fancied a drink and when he did it was usually a glass of wine with dinner or something a bit more sophisticated than a pint in a random bar. drinking was usually limited to special occasions, like birthdays for example. james had partied a little in college but not often unlike his friends which resulted in him being separated a little from them.

in his family james was the odd one out. you can rule out the mother because his left when he was thirteen. but his father and brother were james' complete opposites. they were very typically male in that they liked to drink beer, watch sports on the tv and drool over attractive women. they also seemed to have a one-track mind. james was constantly getting hassled about women and girlfriends, "when are you going to find yourself a new girl, james?" they'd ask. like having a girlfriend was the most important thing in the world. of course james had his eye on someone, but that was something not to be rushed and something complicated by a strong friendship. they encouraged him to be more like them, as if that was the only way he should be. instead james enjoyed his own company, he liked locking himself away with his paints and he preferred to appreciate a woman for who she was instead of what she looked like. of course james was still a guy and found women attractive, but he looked more for personality than what she looked like. they mocked him for it sometimes but in the end james got respect for the way he was; mature, responsible and very much the gentleman.

so it surprised james when he found himself in a bar ordering a drink. this was something lewis, his brother, would be doing instead of him. but james felt like change; in fact this whole summer so far (the little of it that had past anyway) had been about change for james. he liked it and why shouldn't he go out for a drink if he wanted to? he felt a little uncomfortable when he first walked in, like he was a piece of furniture that didn't quite fit. but once he sat himself down on a stool at the bar he felt like he melted into the background like everyone else there. he ordered himself a beer, not his usual drink but this wasn't the usual sort of place he went to and he got the impression he would look out of place with a glass of red wine in front of him. a beer would be just fine. he wasn't wearing his usual clothes either, but then again his usual clothes were stained in all sorts of colours; suitable only for when he was working. tonight he wore something a little more different but he liked it. james knew change was good, every now and then.

james allowed his eyes to scan the room as he took sips of the beer in front of him. he felt smartly dressed in comparison to some of the other people in here, but that didn't bother him in the slightest; james didn't care what other people thought about him, except maybe ella. nothing and nobody caught his particular interest; some rowdy men played pool in the corner but they kept to themselves and most other people were in groups or pairs. james was yet again feeling like the odd one out, but that was ok, he didn't mind too much. he found his eyes resting on the tv though it was on a sports channel and he really didn't care much for sports, apart from basketball. he sighed but he continued to watch, it was something to look at after all. maybe it'd switch to basketball soon.[/color][/font]
