PLAYER: Espilan
CHARACTER: Mirys Hargrave
CANON: Phantasy Star Online / OC
(basically just an OC for the purposes of this game, since canon-flavored Mirys has previously been played as being completely unrelated to the canon's plot anyway)

AU NAME: Marise Hargrave (uses "Mirys" as a preferred alternate spelling)
AU AGE: 16 years

BLURB: heck ur blurb have some bullets
• Meta-human with a powerset based on one or more of the elemental types used in Phantasy Star canon. It's not set in stone right now, but I'm strongly considering Light specifically, which would more or less translate to light generation/manipulation with the capability of weaponizing it (lasers! hard-light construct weapons! annoying bubble shields that burn on contact!), and with some less-combat-oriented uses as well (illusions! lightening or darkening rooms! glowing in the dark like some freaky human light bulb!).
• Blue hair and pointed ears are physical traits that might possibly give her away to normal humans. She could possibly mask the hair color via illusion, but maintaining it over extended periods will get kind of tiring after awhile, and the ears would still be An Issue either way...
• The discovery of Mirys's Meta status was probably pretty darn early in her life with the physical traits being noticed, and then discovering what she could do came sometime later (around age 13, or 14, maybe?).
• I want to say that her father (Dorian Hargrave) was a researcher with the NSO that threw himself into his work even more when he first learned his daughter was a Meta. What he specifically did for the NSO (if that particular information even needs to be determined) will be up to the mods if having that association is fine; I don't wanna say he did one thing and have it turn out later that the game's plot requires something else.
Key word: "was." Dad's been missing for a year and is assumed dead by now. Same goes for Mom (Ellen), she went missing at the same time. Mirys has probably been under the care of the NSO itself ever since.
• She believes her parents were murdered by a person or people with anti-Meta views, so she now tends toward assuming that literally anyone outside the NSO is a threat to her unless proven otherwise. She also initially won't be terribly social to most within the NSO either, except maybe Aya.
• She has interests in robotics and AI. She doesn't actively hide these interests, but also doesn't go out of her way to make them known.
• Yes, she still wears that goofy-ass outfit.

LOOKING FOR:
• I'm still trying to hammer down some backstory deets to avoid things being too barebones; any ideas on that front would be very appreciated!
• CR-wise, I'd like primarily for anyone to try chipping away at the shell she's gone and built up; make her want some friends dammit!
