STRIKE A POSE ' '
Physical Appearance:
alexis erin fallon is in her own right a stunningly beautiful woman. her dark hair falls in ringlets from the very top of her head all the way down to just past her elegant shoulders. the color of her hair is so dark, people sometimes mistake it for a deep black. alexis' eyes are a deep and piercing shade of olive green. they are very deep and people say that her eyes are rather scary at times. her eye color blends well with her slightly tanned skin. she gets her skin color from her mother's side of the family who are of an italian descent. even though alexis has a small enough face, her cheek bones have a nice structure and are very sharp, which emphasizes her beauty even more.
since alexis had a troubled and horrible childhood, she is rather apathetic and doesn't show emotion. this shows on her face as she has no lines or wrinkles from laughing or feeling severe emotion, some people even think she is unable to feel emotions at all. she has a permanent look on her face that say 'i don't care about you', which some people take as an insult and take an instant dislike to her, but this is just the way alexis always looks. but just because she shows no emotion, that doesn't mean that she can't feel emotion, which she does but it is very restricted. so you can see the odd smile or tear on her face if you watch very carefully.
the clothing style that alexis wears is definitely not bright or happy or peppy, she prefers to wear clothes of a more darker color than brighter ones. alexis also doesn't follow fashion trends, she has her own. some people think her clothing is a bit over the top, but it's just alexis' style. she doesn't particularly care what others think of her clothes or anything about her really.
LET'S GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER ' '
Personality Description:
there are several characteristics that make up the personality of alexis erin fallon. the fist of these factors is that she is apathetic and distant. because of the girls horrid childhood, alexis has become a apathetic woman. this means that she feels no emotion, but she is not a true apath as she does feel some small emotions, but she will never show it. her harsh life on the streets has taught her better than to show your hand so openly. and as a direct result of her being apathetic, she is also quite cold and distant to people. alexis doesn't have many friends for two reason. the fact that i have already said, that she is cold and distant, and also because she fears that she will harm someone with her hugely powerfulgiftcurse. all in all, alexis is very distant and almost emotionless and thus she is a bit of a loner. and because she shows almost no emotion, people think that she is very stuck up and snobby, thus avoiding her altogether. this mixed with her cold and distant nature makes her a real loner.
another way to describe alexis fallon is vindictive. her vindictiveness is split into two separate 'people', as it were. the first 'person' in alexis who is very vindictive and vengeful is the true 'evil' in her, the erinye in her. alecto, who was the leader of the erinyes, has been reincarnated in alexis. so whenever alexis witnesses a horrible crime, it is as if she is transfigured into the true fury inside her and takes revenge for the crime. she has no conscious control over her actions once she becomes the true fury and for this reason she fears for people's safety.
the second person in alexis fallon who is vindictive is the true her. since she is the reincarnate of alecto, she not only is overcome with the fury inside her at the viewing of a crime, but she exhibits many of the erinyes traits herself. alexis doesn't take bad things lightly and will voice her opinion if needed. she will not stand for blatant lying, cheating or betrayal and will avenge it. people tend to listen to her when she speaks, especially if she is passionate about something. she also is unceasing in her quest to bring people to justice, just as alecto was as the leader of the erinyes.
but don't think that just because alexis is a reincarnate of the leader of the furies of retribution that she is all evil and doom and gloom. not at all. alexis fallon can also be a very kind woman. she will take all the facts into consideration when about to bring a criminal to justice in her 'fury mode' as she calls it. this is another trait of the erinyes who also become the eumenides, who are the kindly ones. she does not give out judgment without all the facts and is fair in this way. but even in her 'normal mode' she is kind and loyal to people once they break through her very heavily guarded and protected wall.
Likes: chocolate, summer, autumn, black, dark colors, snakes, dogs, birds, order, balance, money, dancing.
Dislikes: wrong do-ers, criminals, spring, bright colors, cats, her evil side, her abilities, her father.
Strength: her power is her greatest strength, but she fears to use it as it can get out of hand.
Weaknesses: alexis' greatest weakness is that she becomes a different person when in the vicinity of a horrible crime. the true fury inside her takes over.
Fears: to lose herself and become the true erinye that lies inside her.
Goal: to be able to control the evil inside her.
Power/Ability:
excruciation, or pain infliction, is the ability to psychically induce or increase feelings of pain in foes after having some means of contact. one with this ability need only to visualize a foe mentally and within seconds, then the foe will be consumed with pain of a magnitude chosen by the user. this magnitude may range from simply feeling like a slight twinge to a full-out twisting of the nerves, causing such pain that the subject is in temporary shock, and any other pain in-between.
WELCOME TO MY LIFE ' '
Origin: las vegas, nevada.
History:
james alexander fallon was a wealthy and very well renowned man in his home of las vegas, nevada. he owned several casinos and everyone wanted to be him, after all he had a seemingly perfect life. he had a wife, the beautiful show dancer erin night, who was always loyal and loving to her wealthy husband. and she was pregnant with their first child and heir. needless to say, james was thrilled at the prospect of having a son to run the family business, but his hopes were dashed when erin gave birth birth to a little girl.
james was simply furious. he was told by the best medical professionals that their child would be male, but it seemed they were wrong. being the stubborn traditionalist fool that he was, he would not let a girl run his family business. and he loathed his own daughter for many years to come. he would beat his wife in his fits of rage after their daughter's birth and also to keep her mouth shut. erin took her beatings in silence, trying to protect the semi-drunk man from their child. but one day she took one blow too many and was killed dead cold, at the feet of their eleven year old daughter, alexis erin fallon.
this obviously had a profound effect on the young girl. but instead of her falling to her knees and crying her sad little eyes out or screaming and shouting, she was calm and cool. she looked up at her father and she was filled with an ancient power. little did she know it then, but she was chosen to be reincarnated leader of the erinyes, alecto. so filled with the power of the erinyes, she looked at her father and used her new gifts to bring about retribution for his crimes. james alexander fallon fell to his knees in unimaginable agony and died of the pain that had been inflicted upon him by his daughter, the reincarnated leader of the erinyes.
years moved on and alexis lived on the streets of las vegas doing whatever she could to survive. sure it was a tough life for an eleven year old girl, but thats they way it went. she never showed any emotion after he parents deaths and she became apathetic. her life on the streets was filled with many unpleasant things that she has blocked from her mind, but whenever she sensed a wrong had been committed she would follow the wrong do-er. she never understood why this was, but whenever she witnessed a wrong being committed it was as if she were being filled with the same energy as the day her parents died. she would follow the person and make sure they paid for their crimes. granted afterwords, her memory of the event was a little hazy, but she thought this was for the best.
she lived on the streets for four years, until she was fifteen. alexis was forced to do things no one, let alone a young girl, should ever have to do to stay alive. her life was tough, but it only made her stronger. emotions were never shown and she was always secretive and guarded. that was until she was visited by a young man who informed her of who she truly was, that she was one of the erinyes, the leader in fact, who had been reincarnated. alexis had no idea what he was talking about, but for some reason she knew it was safe to trust him and so she followed him to pantheon academy on the olympic peninsula of washington.
the school was rather large and alexis was taught all about greek mythology and who she truly was inside. even though a few of the academies psychiatrists tried to probe her past, she blocked them out as she preferred to keep her past where is belonged. alexis was thrown into the school and asked to make friends and feel safe here. she did feel safe, but years on the streets had taught her to keep her cards close to her chest. so alexis doesn't have too many friends and is hugely secretive about her past life, and she can be a kind of pregnant dog at times because of this.
CONNECTION TO THE MYTH ' '
- their names. alecto and alexis.
- the way alexis brings revenge and retribution to those who commit crimes, as alecto did.
- the way they both take everything into consideration before giving out punishment.
- their likes. she likes snakes and dogs and birds which were all associated with the erinyes.
- basically most of alexis' character screams fury to me!
