Physical Description

Tall, gangly, and almost brittle looking, Odetta looks like the gentlest of winds would knock them clean over. They are always freezing and their hands often ache from being so numb and chilled all the time. Their skin is ashen and their hair a silvery, white that reaches down to midback in choppy waves. Their face has a gaunt, haunted appearance with their pale silvery blue eyes set rather sunken into their face. Deep bruising beneath speaks of all their sleepless nights.

For anyone that can catch a true glimpse of their face it is telling that they have seen better days. The right side of their neck and throat bears extensive scarring. Matching scar marks run vertically over their right eye, starting above their brow and then arcing down and outward across their cheek. These are not their only scars though, just the most visible. Odetta also has a long scar across their abdomen and a huge Y-shaped one across their chest. Finally over their upper heart is a bloodport that many of their kind use during nursing.

Their attire consists of whatever they can get their hands on that will allow them to best blend in with the strangers around them. They will be whoever and whatever they need to be in order to survive

Personality

Odetta is a quiet and hardworking individual. They keep their head down and go about their business without bothering others. Confrontation and physical contact make them very skittish and wary. Too many questions or too much interest and they will disappear faster than snow in summer. There is always a tenseness about them as if they are constantly looking over their shoulder expecting to see the devil himself standing there, but then again perhaps they are.

There was a light in them somewhere long, long ago but it is very possible that died along with part of their soul once upon a time. Today they are unpredictable and easily spooked. Handle with care because you never know how long it'll be before they're gone.

There is also at times a great deal of innocence in Odetta. They are not nearly as naive and trusting as they once were but there are still things in this world that they've missed out on and references they don't always get.

Things
  • Suffers from depression and as a result never seems to have much of an appetite.
  • Really loves children and is always willing to give some advice to a new or worried parent.
  • Works the night-shift and so keeps very odd hours.

Magic/Abilities

Resonance-Be-Gone: Due to severe trauma and a magical procedure done against their will, Odetta is unable to "hear" the souls of their people. They have no way of knowing either if they are still resonating or if that had been taken from them as well.

Relationships

Family: Status Unknown

Babies: Odetta has had several out of resonance babies over the years though they have no idea if any of them are alive or what happened to them as they were taken from them at some point after birth. They try not to think about them as the pain of loss sits very strongly with them.

Resonance: Someone out there in the universe is supposed to be Odetta's one and only forever. They have no way of knowing if they're even still alive. Due to their past, they aren't sure whoever it is would even want them anyway. Resonancy is the last thing on their mind these days though. They have long since given up hoping for that fairy-tale. Their luck their resonance is either long dead or someone other than a Starstrider. There is no hope for them finding each other in Odetta’s mind.

The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: A creature of cruel and dark intentions that preyed on their fears and desire to get what they wanted; part of Odetta’s soul. They are constantly on the run for fear of them finding Odetta and finishing the job. They were never meant to get away after all.

History

Odetta was born to House Procyon to a happily resonated couple a very long time ago. Those early days are a far and near forgotten memory though. A century or so after reaching the age of Resonance and still very much alone, they found themself becoming distressed and desperate. It was at this time that a so-called Good Samaritan came to their aid. The being promised Odetta that they could find their Resonance for them. All they needed from them was time and some of their blood.

Naive and foolish child that they were, they readily agreed. Odetta was never the same again after that day. They were far from the first person to be sucked into the monster's web nor were they likely to be the last. They made Odetta their puppet. Odetta was forced to breed and have children, an act that drained them physically and kept them relatively complacent outside of the influence of the drugs constantly pumped into their system.

The true horror though was that instead of making good on their promise, the creature was instead feeding on Odetta's soul. They were sucking the life energy right out of them with each passing day. The process was slow though and for centuries Odetta was left adrift, never really knowing if they lived or died or how the time passed. Lucidity was near non-existent but as long as Odetta could still hear the faint whispers of their soul echoing back to them, there was hope.

The day there was nothing to hear but silence is when they startled back into conscious existence. It was like coming up for air after drowning beneath the crashing waves. Their entire being shrieked with pain like they had never felt before. The creature having grown used to their comatose compliance, had long since forgone the restraints and therefore was caught rather off-guard by the sudden fire displayed in their aperitif.

To this day, they still aren't sure how they managed to overpower the monster and make their escape. There are bits and pieces of memory, though they do their best not to dwell on them. The first memory they have now of their new lease on life is of their hands covered in a dark sludge as they cowered behind several crates on a freighter ship. Ever since Odetta has been bouncing around from place to place, never staying too long and always doing whatever jobs they could find that would leave them inconspicuous.
