Tempest_Rogue

Tempest Rogue is... not Human. To say the least, Rogue is more what she is than her name. you see, in the reality she is from, Tempest's kind are considered anomalies, beings that shouldn't exist and thus, are called Rogues. A term that refers to someone that doesn't conform to the norm or stands out in a crowd. Someone that breaks the rules or simply just does their own thing. The term used to name what Tempest is being a rather crude way of saying they aren't wanted to exist. So, just what makes a Rogue stand out, exactly? Many things, really. Usually, they'll follow a Human body template yet have striking characteristics from birth that while generally beautiful to look upon, are almost always considered to be unnatural and despised. These are things such as unusual eye colours, glowing markings or abstract hair colours. Some even end up with additional limbs or in some rare cases, traits from completely different species to their parents. Tempest, for example, has heterochromatic eyes, green in her left and violet in her right, that emit a glowing aura and look strikingly like gemstones. They also have a single, thin line for pupils in each. Her hair is split between purple and black, small amounts of blue mixing in here and there and her right cheek and neck are covred by a tattoo-like swirling pattern that occasionally glows brightly to match her hair in colour. These traits, from birth, had her labelled as a Rogue and, if not for her mother's kindness, would have had her put down on the spot, simply for being different. There is more to what makes Tempest considered a Rogue than just her outward appearance however. For starters, there's her inwards appearance as well. This being that anything inside her body, much like her eyes, shows a striking green or violet colouration, even her blood flows through her body as a glowing purple. Whenever she opens her mouth, vivid green is all someone would see inside it, faintly glowing and, the deeper you go, the more this green transitions into violet along the roof of her mouth, cheeks and back of her throat, while her tongue, and the front of her throat remain green, the glow getting brighter the further in you go instead of changing to violet.This two-tone internal colouration spreads through everything that is inside her body, while anything outside looks, mostly, Human. Tempest also has a rather... powerful, ability. She can lie to anyone and they will believe it. More to the point, whatever she tells someone, becomes reality for that person. If she told them they were an insect, they would become a random type of insect. If she said that water was poison, then whoever she told that would be poisoned if they drank water. The ability does however have limits and varyations on how it can work though. This ability to lie is known as Rogue Tongue. Not all Rogues have an ability, and only Tempest has this one however. The abilities variations are as follows: Rogue Tongue; Present, the ability to tell someone something and have it become their reality. Rogue Tongue; Reminder, the ability to remind someone of something, true or false, and have it become their reality. Rogue Tongue; Future, the ability to tell someone something will happen and for it to then happen regardless of what that person attempts to do to prevent it. Examples: Present; "You do know water is poisonous, don't you?" Turns water into poison for that person. Reminder; "Don't you remember? You told me a week ago that you were in love with me." Makes it so that person now loves and has loved Tempest for the specified time. Future; "In thirty seconds, you'll blink, only to find yourself trapped within my digestive system." In 30 seconds time, the person will blink and become trapped inside Tempest's stomach until digested. These examples also demonstrate some of the limits imposed on the ability. When using her reminder, Tempest must say the exact time she is reminding them something happened, not a vague or general time frame, or it wont work. When talking about the future, she must give an exact time for the event to happen, much like her reminder. Yet when talking about the present, Tempest may NOT give a time for things to happen in. The reminder ability must also start with "Don't you remember?" or a similar sentence. Her lies can all be undone, so long as someone that has not been affected can corrects the reality of those that are affected by them with the actual truth within 3 days 7 hours and 2 minutes of the lie taking effect. Any reminder that is given a time before this however, will not be reversable, as the reality of the affected will be that they have been affacted for longer than this time limit. After this time limit however, all of Tempest's lies become that person's reality forever. Future lies on the otherhand work differently, as someone has until the time stated in the lie to correct them for whoever is affected before it takes effect and becomes reality from then on. This ability to lie can only ever be used on a single target at a time, no matter how many hear the lie, and may only be used while her markings glow. Her lies also cannot kill someone, though can be directly linked to the cause of someone's death if what she tells someone ends up becoming fatal later on. So, now you know what she is and what she can do, what she looks like and what she's called, you're probably wondering a few things, like "Why the name Tempest?" or perhaps "What's her personality?" Well, Tempest isn't her name, it's just what she is known as among the Rogue community. Why? Well, her parents abandonned her after years of trying to look after her but getting nothing but hatred from those around them. People caring for a Rogue? Preposterous! They must be insane or worse! People would comment, eventually leading to a young, 7 year old girl named Jasmine Star, all alone and hated by everyone that saw her. Until, by some miracle, the other Rogues happened upon her, took her in as one of their own, which she was, and gave her the nickname Tempest, for her young, misunderstood self having turned into a Human shaped tempest. A name she has used ever since. As for what she's like? That's a different story you'll have to wait a bit more for. Being 23 years old now, standing 5'7", Tempest lives her own life, her own way, with no one to tell her what to do or how to do it. Sure she has a home with the Rogues, however she prefers a nomadic lifestyle of wandering from place to place and just doing whatever she pleases. She has come to be known, even by those that consider her a friend, to be the greatest lier to exist due to her ability and how well she spins her lies even without it. Yet, strangely, she manages to be endearing to those that like her, trustable and for the most part, fairly honest. Only when she wishes something to happen to or for someone does she ever tell a lie. After all, they don't affect her directly. So to sum this up, the girl known as Tempest is a fairly kind and straightforward girl that rarely lies, even if she can do so to great effect. Part of the Verily_Verity collection.
