Jamie Ungalaq tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance At first glance, Jamie appears to be a young, androgynous looking boy standing at around a mere 4'10. His thin, slender build coupled with his below average height for a thirteen year old makes him look younger than he actually is, which in itself may imply that he suffers from malnutrition. His pallid skin, along with his soft, supple facial features and aquamarine colored eyes only adds more to the youthful vibe. Looking closer he appears to sport a great degree of resemblance to the native tribes of Northern Canada, which is in fact his homeland, suggesting a sort of mixed ancestry. Jamie's medium length, jet-black hair is naturally messy. He seems to be unable to get rid of the frizz no matter how much he tries which frequently results in several strands of hair covering his face. More often than not, he tends to wear more clothing than usual, being unused to the cityfolk's liberal way of dressing. Although he very much prefers function when it comes to his clothes, he has just recently began to at least try and conform with the current trends. The way he acts calm and reserved most of the time coupled with his somewhat feminine features might confuse some people regarding his... gender, so to speak. personality
Jamie is a very kind individual, he could not help it due to his empathic abilities. The ability to read and feel the emotions of the people around him has pretty much shaped who he is, for better or for worse. His abilities are potent enough to predict the intent of those within his radar. As such, he has grown to become very introverted, trying his best to distance himself from others to spare himself the negative emotions that others might share with him. He also has the tendency to not reply when talked to which may come off as him being cold when he is in fact, just having a hard time thinking of words to say. Needless to say, he tries to avoid people who he knows are trouble, or pretty much anyone with very strong opinions and personalities. Growing up in the Far North, he is still quite unaccustomed to urban life, although he seems to be adapting just fine. Some of his mannerisms do indicate his native tribal upbringing. Being raised in such a harsh, inhospitable environment has taught him to become more resourceful than most others his age. In addition to this, he also seems to be quite shrewd, being able to learn quickly pretty well if he puts his mind into it. He does however, have the habit of overthinking things and lacks self-confidence which is evident in the way he acts and talks in an overly-polite manner, that is if he does manage to get any words out of his mouth. Lacking the inclination to speak, he is more comfortable expressing himself through body language, a custom he had inherited from his people. abilities Empathy/ Empathic Healing: (Advanced) Jamie was born with supernatural empathic abilities, meaning that he has the ability to read people's emotional and spiritual aura. Having lived with such an ability his whole life has allowed him to develop this ability even further, now having the capability of extending his empathic radar to that of lower life-forms such as animals and to a much smaller degree, plants. However, this ability has its downsides considering that the user is unable to turn the empathic radar off and will feel any and all emotional pain from those around them. They do have the ability to focus their empathy over to one individual allowing them to read into the said individual's emotion more closely, allowing them to manipulate and/or heal emotional and physical pain from the target in this state if they so wished. As for Jamie, he has the ability to heal someone emphatically meaning that he is able to heal someone's physical and emotional wounds completely at the cost of all the pain being transferred onto him. Needles to say, the power to transfer another person's pain to oneself is indeed very dangerous and Jamie generally avoids doing so unless the situation calls for it. However he does have a charm that is able to help absorb some pain transferred. Water Manipulation: (Intermediate) Jamie also has the ability to control,manipulate and even create water. This gift of his had only began to manifest when he was ten years old, some three years ago and is still in the process of developing it to become even stronger. As of now, he has the ability to create water using the air's moisture alone, although the process is still slow and takes a lot of time and energy. He can also bend the state of water to their solid, liquid or gaseous form at will. If he so pleases, he can freeze, unfreeze or evaporate water almost instantly. This power however, lacks the capacity to do any significant damage to any opponent and/or structure as of current. He is still unable to move large bodies of water and will probably use this power mostly to distract and hinder enemy movement. Astral Vision: (Intermediate) This ability was inherited from his mother who was a shaman. This gives Jamie the abilities to see through another plane of existence, although it is only potent enough to include earth-based and spiritual realms. This somehow gives him the ability to see and even interact with supernatural beings normally invisible to human eyes if he so desired. Unfortunately for him, he has little control over what he sees and feels once in the spirit realm. Considering his sensitive emphatic abilities, this is sure to put a lot of strain on him mentally. His supernatural perception also has its limitations in the sense that he is only able to see other creatures from the spiritual realm and nothing more. As such, Jamie is quite unwilling to use this inherited power unless absolutely necessary. backstory In a certain village in Northern Canada lived a group of Zeredah loyalists. A young woman, Ilannaq, inherited her mother's title of village shaman. During a pilgrimage deep into the North Pole was where she met Charlie Ungalaq, a fresh college graduate who was travelling the northlands and observing the customs of different tribes for his new book. Ilannaq allowed Charlie to accompany her in her long journey and eventually the two fell in love with each other and before too long, Ilannaq became pregnant. Late into their journey in the middle of a blizzard when Ilannaq went into labor. It was inside a warm yet cramped igloo when the baby boy was born into this world. Soon after he was born, the heavy snow subsided and gave way to the bright, green Aurora Borealis. Ilannaq saw this as a sign, the child will not be a normal one. They named the child Qaniit. Ilannaq managed to convince the few people in their party to hide his affair with Charlie and Qaniit's existence from the village knowing that they would take the child away from her upon finding out. She was unable to leave the village as the Assembly of Phantoms valued the native shaman's ability to interact with the supernatural world. As such, she handed the boy over to his father, in the hopes that he will grow to have a normal, more peaceful life. Charlie then took Qaniit with him to a remote village where he was staying. Qaniit was then enrolled into a reserve school as soon as he came of age and his father saw it fit to give him another name, Jamie, although he was still called Qaniit by most people. Charlie tried his best to make his Jamie happy and somehow make ends meet, working three jobs just to support himself and his son. Ilannaq would also visit them regularly if she's not particularly busy. By the age of five, Jamie began to feel things he shouldn't feel when he's around other people. From that early age, Jamie had to deal with very complex emotions. It would take two more years before his parents noticed his extraordinary empathic abilities. There are also times when he would go in an otherworldly trance much to his father's dismay, something which Ilannaq considered normal. One day, Charlie became ill due to severe stress and overwork. Being unable to see his father in such a state, Jamie's empathic abilities developed even further, managing to cure his father's illness at the cost of severe psychic trauma causing the boy to collapse. His parents then began to watch over him more closely, forbidding him to use his healing powers ever again. Growing older, Jamie's empathic abilities became even stronger, too strong perhaps. It overwhelmed him, he felt his father's suffering, he shared the negative emotions of those around him, he the immense guilt of feeling other's pain and knowing that he could do nothing. One by one, other children in his school began to notice, Jamie was not normal. He became a social outcast, shunned by most, bullied by the others. One fateful night, after Charlie drank himself to sleep, Jamie took a stroll outside, not being able to stand the heavy atmosphere at home. He then felt a presence calling out for him, it pestered with for a good while before Jamie was compelled to enter the astral plane. A spirit of what appeared to be a tiny-winged being begged the boy to save its friend who needed help. Sensing the creature's genuine, he could not bring himself to refuse an offer of help, he followed the spirit's instruction and ventured deep into a nearby forest where he found the woman lying down on the snow covered ground. She had light blue skin and blue tentacle-like things on its head resembling a lock of hair. She was still breathing, barely conscious and in pain, clutching her stomach which seemed to be bleeding blue colored blood. He knew what he had to do, one touch and the blue woman's eyes opened, her body fully healed and a half-dead young boy lay before her. The next thing Jamie knew, he woke up in his bed, an agitated Charlie and Ilannaq crouching near the bedside. Upon Ilannaq's urging, Charlie took Jamie with him to his brother's place in Labrador. IIlannaq, only managed to visit Jamie once, to give him an amulet in the hopes that it will help protect him. In the middle of the night, a few days after Jamie's eighth birthday, the blue woman appeared before the sleeping boy with two other similar looking women. Charlie entered Jamie's room only to see one of the women carrying the boy, and before his eyes, they flew past him effectively taking Jamie along with them. Jamie in the middle of a frozen lake surrounded by a strange group of people who introduced themselves as the Faes of the North. Feeling nothing but peace and tranquility when around these people, he felt obliged to follow through with their 'ritual', it was their way of saying thanks for having saved one of their own. For two days they kept him with them, making him drink a strange essence from a rare plant and making him chant in a foreign tongue. By the third day as the sun rose, a tall, slender woman arose from underneath the frozen water, emitting an aura of such purity that it made the boy weep. She introduced herself as Sedna, a water nymph. She told Jamie that the ritual was almost complete and that he will become one of them soon. Jamie then refused stating that his family is waiting for him. Accepting defeat, Sedna was about to order the faekin to let him go. It was at that moment when Ilannaq entered the scene with a few other AP members and began attacking the faekin. Luckily for them, Sedna's magic helped all of them escape to safety. A confused Jamie could only stare dumbfounded as he saw a completely different side of his mother. Before he knew it, one of the men placed a hand in front of him and he fell unconscious. He once again woke up in his father's Labrador home. Charlie's brother suddenly left his own house without a word Ilannaq stopped visiting for some reason. For three years, life continued as per normal, but now, Jamie could not help but feel that he's being watched. Eventually, their financial situation has gone down the drain, and Jamie had to help his father with fish and hunt for food at times in addition to being in charge of most of the housework. One day, he discovered had gained the ability to manipulate water as he was helping his father with fishing. This had been noted by some of the AP members that were scouting him. The very next day, two men entered their home asking for Jamie to come with them. Charlie objected so strongly that it prompted one of the men to take out his gun and shoot him several times, killing him in front of Jamie. Clearly distraught and broken, Jamie unleashed his new power upon them only to be beaten, forcibly restrained and stuffed into a car in a matter of seconds. At this point, the boy was too broken to even move , even as he was transferred to the helicopter he did not utter a single word, not that he needed to. All he knows was that he was being taken to the North Pole for some reason. They landed nearby what appeared to be a military outpost with armed men and a few native laborers. Beyond the drifting snow was a huge contraption of what appeared to be a warship fitted with four giant ski-looking legs that they will apparently use to travel through the polar ice caps. Jamie was forced to sleep in a cold dank room for over three days with little food and clothing. Then the next morning, gunshots and explosions were heard outside. A number of fur clad natives stormied the camp and killed any AP member they could find. They managed to free Jamie in the middle of fighting. They are apparently a collection of tribes who had rebelled against Zeredah and now planned to storm their North Pole base. Jamie asked if any of them knew his mother or her whereabouts, no luck. He was led away from the fighting along with the wounded. He focused his time and energy healing the wounded at the expense of immense psychic pain knowing that it was the only way he could help. Somehow, the amulet that his mother gave him helped ease the pain. As they were travelling to the nearest coastal village they happened upon a frozen corpse. Jamie took a closer look only to find out that the the body does in fact belong to his mother, the image of her frozen corpse in a fetal position still haunts him to this day. The managed to thaw the body out and hand over what little possession she had over to her son, burying her beneath the snow afterwards. By the time they arrived, the entire village had already been massacred by black, shadowy monsters. Before they knew it, the terrors ambushed the group. Jamie and a few others managed to escape with the help of Jamie's empathic radar. They stood at the far edge of the frozen sea ice and with no option left, drifted themselves away from the nightmare. Jamie was only eleven at that time. Adrift in the middle of Hudson Bay Jamie became ill, exhausted from using his abilities to propel the ice towards who knows where. The four of them huddled together, keeping themselves warm in the face of despair. It was then that Jamie then saw the spirit of his parents one last time as they pointed towards a specific direction, vanishing shortly afterwards. In their mirage appeared Sedna, the water nymph. She wanted to help save Jamie as an apology for what she had started, healing Jamie's sickness and moving the ice herself. Jamie directed Sedna just as his late parent's did and just like that, they came upon a TRS cargo ship headed for Newfoundland. They have been rescued As they landed on Lorsette he was quickly taken to the TRS headquarters upon his request. Since then, he has been quick to adjust to the new environment and is now under the care of TRS. misc - From afar, it is quite hard to tell his gender. His name, voice and personality does not at all help with this issue. It is not uncommon for him to be mistaken for a girl. - He wears with him two amulets, the one made from seashells with a gem embedded in the middle is worn around the neck, usually tucked underneath his shirt. The other one is a bracelet made entirely out of whale bones. The necklace helps decrease the psychic strain whenever he uses his empathic and astral powers while the bracelet apparently wards off evil spirits. - He may not look like it but he speaks three languages. There is of course his native tongue. He speaks English like a native, although his tendency not to speak it much may give people the wrong idea that he does not speak the language. Then there's French, considering his father was half French-Canadian and it was taught at reserve schools. - As aforementioned, he has troubles speaking to strangers due to severe social anxiety. He will never approach anyone unless necessary. - Contrary to popular belief, the native arctic peoples are no strangers to modern technology. - He may also not look like it but he is capable to fishing, hunting and is an experienced camper, He grew up in the Arctic after all. - It has been noted by the TRS that his empathic abilities have a tendency to become unstable, especially around individuals with very strong auras. As such he has with him prescribed medication to combat this issue in cases where he becomes overwhelmed with the spiritual aura of others nearby. | roleplayer info ☆ NAME Zenon ☆ RP EXPERIENCE Around 6 years, maybe more ☆ TIMEZONE EST ☆ GENDER Neutral ☆ AGE 22 ☆ OTHER CHARACTERS n/a ☆ FACE CLAIM Devil Survivor 2, Hibiki ---------------------- THIS CHARACTER BELONGS TO Zenon.
