Tends to be dominant, but loves it when a woman turns the tables on her. Only interested in men if they're dominant right off the bat... and not necessarily then. Likes pain and rough sex, has little-to-no interest in romance.<br/><br/>Description: Threnody is five feet tall, with a slender build. Dark short hair in a feathery cut frames her fine-boned features. She has several piercings, and a large tattoo of stylized wings across her back.<br/><br/>Personality: Threnody is confident and self-assured, sometimes to a fault. She has a great appetite for life, and takes delight in intense sensations and extreme experiences. The only exception is that she doesn't indulge in<br/><br/>Unique ability: Astral projection. Threnody can separate her 'soul' from her body, allowing her to interact with ghosts and other spiritual entities. While she is doing this, her body appears to be unconscious... and is vulnerable to attempts at possession.<br/><br/>Background: Threnody was born to an American reporter and a Russian media mogul. She grew up spending time in both countries, generally in America for school and in Russia during the summers, while her mother travelled.<br/><br/>After she graduated, she signed up to be part of an experimental group in Russia, where they attempted to induce astral projection through the use of sensory deprivation tanks. Most people quit the project, while others snapped and ended up institutionalized. Threnody was the only successful case. Even then, Threnody's ability to project was very short range, and the project was considered to be a failure.<br/><br/>Left to her own devices, Threnody discovered that she could use her ability to communicate with the recently-dead, as long as their spirits still lingered... and some other astral entities, as well. After a fight with one of these left her in a coma for a month, Threnody sought out a shaman to study under.<br/><br/>She can now shapeshift while in astral form, and has a significantly increased range, able to travel at great distances away from her body. Prior to being recruited by the Agency, she worked as a freelance 'ghost buster,' convincing ghosts and poltergeists to move on -- or at least move out.<br/><br/><strong>GM Note:</strong><em>An astrally projected soul is attached to its body by a thin umbillical called an 'Astral Chord'. This chord grows longer and thinner the further the soul moves away from the body. As it stretches it becomes more brittle and if it breaks then the body dies and the soul is trapped in limbo. <br/><br/>In general the projector will want to stay within about 100 mile radius of her body.</em><br/>
