Character Basics
Character Name Deva Murphy (Formerly Deva Byrne) Series/Canon Original Character
AU/PG/Canon Point Just starting out on her vengeance quest Game [community profile] sidereal_rp
Canon Details Deva Murphy grew up a hopeless romantic, full of dreams of falling in love, being swept off her feet and into a life of romance and excitement. When she was seventeen, she left her pod to try luck in the human world. Being a selkie, she chose a coastal fishing town, finding work in a small inn tending tables and providing entertainment in the evenings singing and dancing. She hid her identity as a selkie, living as a human among humans. It was new and exciting, and Deva was young and so naive.

That naivete would have a cost.

Character Details

15 Second Summary Deva puts up a good front. She is not the naive girl she was when she first left her pod and came ashore to the human world. She has been hurt and wronged and no longer trusts most anyone.

Deva comes across as cheerful and friendly. She's outgoing and eager for conversation, quick to joke and quick to laugh. Anyone meeting her superficially would see someone easy to approach and warm to get to know. It's all very much on the surface, clinging to the person she remembers being as a defense mechanism to try to get by and move on despite the pain and anger in her.

Abilities & Permissions
Abilities As selkie Deva can turn into a seal so long as her sealskin is with her.

Deva sings and dances very well, particularly graceful for a selkie on land, given that they tend to be more comfortable in water. During her time in the fishing village and with William, she also took to learning the fiddle. It's a point of pride that she's managed it, since the webbing between her fingers does present an extra challenge.

Once she's emerged from the ocean after William tried to murder her, Deva comes back changed. Something dark and old in the sea has woken something even darker and older in her blood. She's still learning to control it, but an almost siren-like quality has risen in her, where through music she can charm those around her. Well, charm or torment, depending on her intention. It's a new skill and one she's still coming to understand.
Permissions Deva can charm, beguile, or psychically torment people with her voice. I'll always check in before she uses this power, but if you have any blanket objections or permission, please feel free to let me know.
