<div align="center">(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff167/Melody0322/Women/Model1-1.jpg)</div><br/><br/>Name: Zaniyah Rivera<br/>Player: writersmelody<br/>Nature: Visionary<br/>Calling: Activist<br/>Pantheon: Atzlanti<br/>God: Tlaloc<br/>Title: None<br/><br/>PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION<br/>Height: 4 ft, 11 inches<br/>Weight: 105 - 110 lbs<br/>Eyes: Brown<br/>Hair: Black<br/>Skin tone: Bronzed<br/>Build: Athletic<br/>Measurement: 30C-26-30<br/>Age: 18<br/>Other Distinguishing Features: She has no scars and the only piercings she has are in her ears and navel. However she does have LOTS of tattoos all over. Most of them depict some pretty disturbing things...<br/><br/>DESCRIPTION<br/>Zaniyah is a very petite figure, not even 5 ft tall. What she lacks in stature, she makes up for in other ways. The exotic-looking beauty has a toned build with curves enough to satisfy most tastes. Long lean limbs lend the impression that she's taller than she actually is. She has small, deceptively delicate hands and feet.<br/><br/>The features of her face are exotic and ethereal. She's got almond-shaped brown eyes that are slightly slanted. They shift in hue depending on the lighting, her mood, and what she's wearing. There is an elegance to the line of her jaw and the set of her chin. Zaniyah has a sensual and very expressive mouth, with full lips concealing two rows of straight, even white teeth. Her dark hair is cut short to frame her face in a very flattering style... for her anyway.<br/><br/>She is a beautiful young woman but not many people can get past the tattoos. It is a little known secret that they are scenes taken from her own imagination. The girl dresses like most other people her age. Her voice has a very slight accent. It is low and husky. She moves with a natural grace and there is something about the way she carries herself that draws the eye.<br/><br/><br/>Background (history):<br/>Zaniyah’s mother was descended in an unbroken line from Aztec royalty. Her father was a descendant of Spanish conquistadores. He was a “blue-collar” worker in Mexico City while her mother had her own housecleaning business. They needed all the money they could get to feed their six children.<br/><br/>Things changed when Zaniyah was born. Her father insisted that she wasn’t his. He was much colder to her than he was to any of his other children. Finally his wife tearfully confessed that she had slept with someone else around the time she’d conceived their youngest child.<br/><br/>For a very little while things were fine. Then he couldn’t deal with it anymore. Zaniyah and her mother were tossed out. They had nowhere to go and spent a few nights in a cheap hostel. Finally an uncle wrote them from the USA. He could get her mother a job as a migrant worker…<br/><br/>So the two of them made their way over the border with the help of a coyote. The work of a migrant worker was difficult and didn’t offer much in the way of wages or benefits. On top of that, Maria had to pay her brother back… She earned extra money by cleaning houses.<br/><br/>It meant that Zaniyah was left to her own devices quite a lot as a child and quickly learned how to take care of herself. Several years passed this way. Zaniyah threw herself into school. Education was the only way to make sure that the Land of Opportunity lived up to its name…<br/><br/>Zaniyah had always had very strange dark dreams and urges that accompanied them. In order to exorcise them she poured them into her writing. Not the stuff she turned into her teachers, of course…<br/><br/>Finally her mother got a better job in LA, working as a housekeeper for a swanky hotel. She also just moved her housekeeping business. It meant that Maria was out of their small apartment a lot. Zaniyah decided very quickly that she didn’t like the city.<br/><br/>Science always fascinated her, particularly the life sciences. She joined a few different clubs. Zaniyah wasn’t wealthy but she was smart, lovely, and strong. Aside from her home life, things were good.<br/><br/>She was 14 when she realized her feelings for one of her female friends went slightly beyond platonic. Finally she got up the courage to tell her. The girl didn’t take it very well. Within a couple days, word had spread around the school.<br/><br/>It was a rough time as she was bullied and teased mercilessly. The next two years were a misery, even though she managed to get a job of her own and start saving for a car. When she was 16, one of the most popular girls in the school who was a year ahead of her approached her and admitted that she had a crush on Zaniyah.<br/><br/>The two of them started going out and things changed for the better, slowly but surely. They even went to the prom together. They stayed together until Zaniyah’s girlfriend moved away for college. She was a senior then and checking out colleges of her own.<br/><br/>Her dreams continued and so did the writing. She’d filled several notebooks by that point. She was accepted into an Ivy League school with plenty of scholarships to help her. Her mother, who was aged beyond her time, couldn’t have been prouder.<br/><br/>She moved away to school… the same school her highschool sweetheart was attending. The two reunited. Life was bliss for the next year. Then the summer came. They were away on a little camping trip when they were attacked.<br/><br/>She’d never seen the like of such creatures before! They fled, just barely able to maintain their lead. Heather tripped and Zaniyah didn’t realize it for a couple minutes but it was too late. When she tried to go back, someone grabbed her and dragged her away.<br/><br/>Zaniyah struggled but things went black. When she came to, she was laying in a cabin with a surprisingly modern interior. A strange looking man with pierced ears, huge round eyes, and a large hooked nose was standing over her.<br/><br/>The girl flung herself at him, grieving and frightened. He easily bested her though. When she calmed down, he finally told her the truth. About who he was and who she was. He was Tlaloc… and she was his Scion. The gifts he gave her did not assuage her grief but at least she would be able to spare others the pain she felt and protect the innocent. Like Heather…  Her father has given her some time to grieve and come to accept her new lot in life. But now the time has come for her to step up and prove herself worthy of her divine heritage.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">VITALS<br/><br/>Name      : Zaniyah Rivera<br/>God       : Tlaloc<br/>Calling   : Activist<br/>Nature    : Visionary<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>ATTRIBUTES (0 BP)<br/>[X] = favoured<br/><br/>[  ]Strength : **   (-)     [  ]Charisma    : ***     (-)     [  ]Perception  : ****    (*)<br/>[ ]Dexterity: ***  (*)    [  ]Manipulation: ***     (-)     [  ]Intelligence: ****    (*)<br/>[  ]Stamina  : **  (*)    [X]Appearance  : ***    (*)     [  ]Wits        : ***         (*)<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>ABILITIES (0 BP)<br/>[X] = favoured<br/><br/>[X]Academics     : *<br/>[ ]Animal Ken    : -<br/>[ ]Art<br/>       Writing : *<br/>               : -<br/>[ ]Athletics     : **<br/>[ ]Awareness     : ***<br/>[X]Brawl         : **<br/>[X]Command       : *<br/>[ ]Control<br/>        Car : *<br/>            : -<br/>[ ]Craft<br/>        Gardening: *<br/>                 : -<br/>[ ]Empathy       : ***<br/>[ ]Fortitude     : *<br/>[ ]Integrity     : *<br/>[ ]Investigation : -<br/>[ ]Larceny       : -<br/>[ ]Marksmanship  : *<br/>[X]Medicine      : **<br/>[ ]Melee         : **<br/>[ ]Occult        : *<br/>[ ]Politics      : *<br/>[ ]Presence      : ***<br/>[ ]Science<br/>        Agronomy: *<br/>                : -<br/>[X]Stealth       : *<br/>[X]Survival      : *<br/>[ ]Thrown        : *<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>ADVANTAGES (0 BP)<br/><br/>Virtues                  Willpower: 7/7            Legend: 3<br/>Conviction: **                                     Legend Points: 09/09<br/>Courage: **<br/>Duty: **<br/>Loyalty: ***<br/><br/>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>WEAPONS<br/><br/>Unarmed, Light<br/>Speed: 4   Accuracy: +1   Damage: +0B   Defence: +1<br/>Tags: N/A<br/><br/>Unarmed, Heavy<br/>Speed: 5   Accuracy: -1   Damage: +3B   Defence: -2<br/>Tags: N/A<br/><br/>Clinch<br/>Speed: 6   Accuracy: +0   Damage: +0B   Defence: -<br/>Tags: P<br/><br/>Obsidian Stiletto<br/>Speed: 4   Accuracy: +0   Damage: +3L   Defence: -2<br/>Tags: P<br/><br/><br/>ARMOUR<br/><br/>Soak: +1B/0L   Mobility: -0   Fatigue: 0<br/><br/>Dodge DV: 5<br/>Parry DV: 4/2<br/>Join Battle: -<br/>Soak: -B/-L/-A (-/- natural, -/- armour)<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>HEALTH LEVELS<br/><br/>-0 (Bruised) : [ ]<br/>-1 (Hurt)    : [ ]<br/>               [ ]<br/>-2 (Wounded) : [ ]<br/>               [ ]<br/>-4 (Crippled): [ ]<br/>Incapacitated: [ ]<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>KNACKS (0 BP)<br/><br/>Dreadful Mien<br/>   Cost: 1L, -Wp    Pool: +     Duration: Until next sunrise<br/>   Details: When the Scion spends a point of Legend, the hapless victim flees in terror from her dreadful visage to hide until the next sunrise.
