POWERS:</strong></span></span><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>(Skill)</em> Attunement to Life: This is not a power but is able to connect on a deeper level with any living creature.  In plants, this tends to show itself as a recognition of different types of plants and sometimes an understanding of its life.  Animals tend to be drawn to her and Kenz can usually help to adjust the animal's emotions.  She can often bring a sense of calm to an animal and is especially helpful in giving an animal peace before its untimely death.  Humans are the least connected to Mac's influence; however, they usually feel a sense of mystery about and respect towards her.  Mackenzie can sometimes, though not always, help someone feel better.</li><li><em>(Skill)</em> Autism Spectrum Disorder (High-functioning): Due to her ASD, Mackenzie has an above-average IQ and strengths in recognizing patterns and logical thinking.  She is detail-oriented, can focus intensely, and is honest to a fault.  However, she is also a very independent thinker and has a hard time following unwritten social rules.  She may also have difficulty motivating herself or staying focused if she has no interest in what she's supposed to be doing.</li><li><em>(Skill)</em> Courage/Bravery: Mackenzie has never been one to stand back when the little guy needs help.  In fact, she's always willing to stand up for a good cause, even if it gets her in trouble.  She has few fears and those than she does have, she will always put aside if it is for a cause she deems worthy.</li><li>(Skill) Singing/Guitar: Mackenzie used to be the lead singer and backup guitar player for a hometown rock band.  Most of the people in the town believe that her band was about to make it big time when she left.  They still have not hit the big times since she left but when Mackenzie has time to herself (or is invited to perform), she's likely to be found practicing or playing.</li><li>(Blessed Power) Magic: Being blessed by Hecate made Mackenzie a powerful priestess.  While some of that power simply allows her to perform some magic without the material requirements needed by others who practice magic, this blessing has also gifted Kenz with other uses for magic untouchable by those without the blessing.  Some of these extra uses include bestowing special gifts or curses on people or things.  On things, the gift or curse will last until someone of skill equal to or greater than that of a blessed of Hecate removes it.  However, on people, the gift or curse will only last a certain amount of time equal to that which the source has allowed for.  Mackenzie can also create illusions from grand to very small that seem very real.  She may also stop or cut off the magic of another user who is not a God or blessed by a God who wields magic.  Along with this gift, Hecate gave Mackenzie a set of magical tools including a special knife that boosts the magic output of a living source it is used on.  She also gave the young girl a magic ring and a magic necklace meant to store and focus magical energies.  While there is a lot of magic that Kenz can perform without limits, most of her special magic and any high-cost spell requires a life force source or sacrifice.  Kenz does not need to use her own, however, the type of magic she uses may require a source of a certain amount.  (Many rodents may be equal to the same sacrifice as one larger animal)</li><li>(Blessed Power) Power of Three: As does her Goddess, Kenzie lives in multiple worlds at once.  Usually, her mind is constantly showing her the many options there are for the future based on the choices being made in the present.  It does take extra effort to focus on one set of futures (related to one person) and it takes even more effort based on the number of people around.  According to Hecate or Apollo's decisions, Kenz may be forced to see a certain future (or prophecy).  When this prophecy comes from Hecate, Kenz alone will know what she saw unless she chooses to reveal it to others; however, when it comes from Apollo, she will be forced to reveal the prophecy while she is in it.  Similar to her visions of the future, Mackenzie may be warned of past events that may affect the present or future or may be very similar to what is happening in the present.  These special visions do take a lot from her, first taking from her magic jewelry before it begins to drain from her.  This is why Kenzie must always keep her jewels fully charged.  Aside from visions, Mackenzie may also astral project in up to two projections at one time; however, she will stop seeing the possibilities for the future and astral projection can only take from her own force, the longer and more projections she has at one time, the more it takes from her.  Mackenzie's body will not allow her to drain herself dead but when she hits a point that she can't take any more, she could be passed out restoring herself for days on end with almost no sign of life.</li><li><em>(Blessed Power)</em> Master of Deals: If you make a deal with Mackenzie, be sure you don't break it!  Those who break deals with Mackenzie have wound up punished with a curse.  While Kenzie may choose to pray to her Goddess for forgiveness on behalf of whoever was cursed, the best idea is to keep your deals with this girl or (if you're already cursed) do your best to make up for the broken deal.  On the other hand, Mackenzie is also unable to break her end of a deal.  While it can be physically painful if she tries to manipulate a deal, breaking a deal will curse her ten times worse than someone else breaking a deal with her.  No matter who is cursed, the deal must either be followed through or a sacrifice made to the goddess in order for the curse to have a possibility of being lifted.</li></ul><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong></span></span>Mackenzie White is a short woman, standing at only 5'4.  She has blue hair and is always found wearing the ring, necklace, and knife her Goddess gave her.  Her hair always holds some sort of blue color, but how much blue is in her hair does change from time to time.  She has green eyes and although she has no scars, Kenzie does do temporary tattoos and is usually sporting at least three at any given time.<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong></span></span>Mackenzie is a woman who is always willing to stand up for what she believes in.  She does have certain mental disorders that make her different from most others; however, she prefers to embrace that fact.  Kenzie has a heart of gold but most seem only to be willing to be friends with her when they need her or want something from her.  This is why Kenz will rarely perform magic for another unless they make a deal with her first.  Even though Kenzie has few fears and is so constantly willing to stand up for different causes, she doesn't see herself as strong as other people do and often doubts her skills with other people.<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong></span></span>Kenzie White didn't have a very unusual childhood.  Sure, she lived with different strengths and weaknesses than many other people around her, but other than that, she lived a very normal Upper Middleclass lifestyle.  She had two parents that loved her very much and a few friends who she felt she could rely on.  She did very well in most of her classes and enjoyed playing with her friends and looking into subjects that interested her.  She did have a different connection with animals and the night than a lot of her friends but it had never seemed anything unusual.  In middle school, she started a band with some of her friends just for fun.  But by the time they reached high school, the band was doing very well.  They expected to make it big soon when a few of them found a Ouija board and thought it was a good idea to play with it.  This led to Kenzie growing interested in myth, magic, and the occult, though she had many problems trying to find more information at many different times.  When Kenzie was 20, she found a spell to contact a God online and, thinking this couldn't be real, reached out to Hecate.  When Hecate appeared before Kenzie, she blessed the girl to be one of her chosen and told her of a camp that she should be hearing from soon.  She explained that Mackenzie had struck her interest for her fearlessness, especially in the face of the dark and unknown as well as her interest in magic and that her magic would grow greatly now that she was blessed.  However, when the Goddess left, Kenz passed out and when she woke up, she thought it was only a very weird dream.  It was a week later that she realized that the dream had been a reality when a man showed up at her door asking what she remembered from her visit with Hecate and explaining all this crap about myths, magic, and the Gods being real.  He told her that it was unusual for someone so much older than 18 to be chosen but now that she had, she was supposed to go with him to a place called Blessed Falls Village where she would learn more about what had happened and begin her training.  That was almost four years ago now and Kenzie still doesn't truly understand any of it, but hey, free room and board, what's not to like?<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong></span></span>Alissa White-Gluz<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: monotype corsiva;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>WRITER:</strong></span></span>Dragongoddess
