✓►CHARACTER◄
Name: Parker Lee Jones
Nicknames:Octoparker
Date of birth/age: 4/26/1993, 18-nearly-19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Panromantic demisexual, identifies as asexual
Job: Currently seeking employment, retail/service/etc.
Human or shifter: Shifter
Appearance: (Playby: Noomi Rapace) Parker is a goth. She wears clothes that are dark and odd, but often short and light, because there's only SO much black you can wear in florida. Her hair is never longer than a mohawk, and often shaved off entirely. Her skin is often slightly dry to the touch, and has an odd kind of sheen to it. If you startle her, something under it ripples. She has peircings that may or may not fall out when she shifts, so the jewelry is always cheap.
Personality: Parker has been let down by a lot of people, and she's not exactly on the track in life she hoped for. She's snappish and mistrustful, but once she's your friend -- well, she's still snappish, but she's also dead loyal. She has a perverse tendency to favor friends who are bizarre but difficult, because normal people annoy her.
Parker felt pretty ripped off by the world even before she caught versi, and could easily be talked into doing something stupid out of ambition and desperation.
Strengths:
+Excellent swimmer even in human shape, inc. pool diving and saltwater free diving
+Resourceful, clever, and stubborn
+Hardworking and ambitious
+Loyal
+Long fuse
+Trustworthy
Weaknesses:
-Prone to jealousy
-Shifter status is very obvious
-Aloof and hostile
-Radical appearance (because she's already an obvious shifter, so screw it)
-Misanthropic
-Not very outgoing
-Perilous income situation
-Holds a grudge
-Smoker
History: Parker, a lifelong ward of the foster system, felt pretty unwanted even before she became a shifter. She's been shuffled around the state ever since she outgrew the 'cute toddler' phase and became a 'problem child'. She never attended the same school for more than two consecutive grades.
Gifted and athletic but odd and withdrawn, Parker never made many friends to get separated from. In spite of her frequent school-changing, she did well academically until late in her junior year. She was in the running for a swimming scholarship that would have made it possible for her to go to university when she caught versi. Once it became obvious that she had 'persisting effects' from the disease, she was knocked out of the running, and her grades took a nosedive her senior year.
Her condition is frequently obvious, so Parker does her best to act like she doesn't care what anyone thinks by going out of the way to cultivate her weirdness. But she remembers everything that's said about her, and every time she gets rejected.
✓►SHIFTER◄
Species: Common Octopus, Octopus vulgaris
Group: Invertibrate
Conservation status: Least Concern
Appearance:
Abilities: Her strength is only marginally better than that of a normal athletic human of her size, as is her stamina. Her healing is the most enhanced, handling most injuries rapidly. Her vision is extremely acute, and can pick up on light's polarity (for whatever that's worth). She has developed an extremely acute sense of touch, and chemoreceptors on her fingertips. She cannot partial shift, due to her animal shape being too different, but when stressed her skin involuntarily develops chromatophores and changes color. Controlling the shifting colors is her favorite stupid party trick.
