BASIC INFORMATION




Name: Buffy Summers

Canon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer; end of 7x22 "Chosen"

Age: 22

Bio: Buffy Summers was called as a Vampire Slayer at age 15, and since then she has saved the world… a lot. She is a very unorthodox slayer; she was not trained by the Council to put her destiny before all else and therefore refuses to give up her normal life. She uses her emotions to help her fight and has friends who help her save the world, instead of depending on only herself. It is perhaps these differences from the typical slayer that has kept her alive for so long; in truth, she's one of the longest-lived slayers in history. But at the same time, she feels even more alone when she is with them because none of them will ever understand what it’s like for her. That’s the price of being a Slayer.

She has always been very unlucky with the men in her life. Her father took himself out of her life when she was a teenager, Angel left her because their love was ultimately doomed, Parker used her for a one-night stand, Riley couldn't handle her being the Slayer, and Spike... Well, Spike was complicated. Because of this, she doesn't have the best confidence in her own ability to have a decent, healthy relationship, and she's somewhat wary of trusting men with her heart.

Buffy no longer feels as close to her friends after the events prior to the battle with the First, when even her sister chose to side against Buffy. She sees it as the ultimate betrayal; they turned their backs on her the moment she failed to be their perfect hero and it will take a lot for her to truly forgive them. Still, she will always protect them because that's who she is.

SLAYER INFORMATION


SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES
As a Slayer, Buffy has supernatural speed, strength, agility, and durability. She also has accelerated healing, heightened awareness of surroundings, and a "spidey-sense" for detecting supernatural creatures, but especially vampires. And there's the occasional (incomprehensible) prophetic dream and magical access to the collective memories of the Slayers. Slayers also have a natural affinity for weapons of all types; Buffy can pick up any weapon and learn how to use it almost instantly. None of this means that Buffy is invincible - she's died three times before the one that brought her to Beacon (drowning, mystical energy electrocution, gunshot), it just never stick very well when her friends were involved.

In Beacon, her Slayer healing won't be quite what she's used to, and it certainly won't save her from any fatal injuries.

HUMAN ABILITIES
On the normal girl side of things, Buffy is a pretty good cook and a decent student in the right academic environment (ie, college vs high school). Driving is not a lauded part of her skill set.

Information goes here...

PERMISSIONS: In-Character
Physical Affection: Buffy is a touchy-feely type of person with those she is close to; others may receive odd looks and other reactions (possibly including violence) depending on the type of affection. Feel free to contact OOC to discuss!
Physical Violence: Violence is okay so long as no gory results are involved -- please discuss first for that.
Romance/Relationships: Buffy thrives on her relationships. Romantic, platonic, she needs to surround herself with people she trusts and cares about, especially found families. She might be open to romantic entanglements of various sorts depending on the CR.
Mental Information: Buffy doesn't have any defenses against telepath and empath characters, so just hit me up OOC to discuss and I'll give you details to play with!
Offensive Subjects/Triggers: Buffy won't handle being confined in small spaces well, thanks to having to claw her way out of her own grave.
Anything Else? Puns are her preferred lifestyle.


PERMISSIONS: Out of Character

Fourthwalling policy: Please tell her about how badass her TV show is.
Action vs. Prose: Action brackets are my default, but I can do either.
Offensive Subjects & Triggers: Nothing OOC, and I'm always happy to explore the IC subjects.

Bucky is a super-soldier, but it's technically a medical/scientific thing... not sure if she'd sense that or not, but I'm okay with her doing so if you want to. Nobody else really knows he's anything more than a weird guy with a metal arm at this point :P

Stone is an alien rather than a supernatural creature, but he does have the shapeshifting magic, so she can probably sense that. Basically he radiates "not human" (or even "not from Earth") and "very old" but probably not as old as like... the demons and shit that she deals with. Older than a lot of the vampires, though.

Spidey-Sense Yes, Aziraphale is an angel. He is made of love and light and if she's dealt with angels before, she would probably know he's of the same stock

Demonic He would only vaguely be able to pick up a sense of darkness

Spidey-Sense - She probably screams supernatural, so feel free to have her notice right off the bat. She might have a hard time figuring out what she is, though, since she's a LOT of things lol

Demon Stuff - This isn't going to affect how they interact in any way.

Mary is definitely not human, so she can absolutely sense that about her! It might be difficult to sense specifically that she's a painting that's come to life, but she can sense anything you'd like that has to do with her being "fake" or "hollow" in some way, as she isn't a species at all, in a sense.

We can totally talk about it more in private if you want, just let me know!

Spidey Sense Crowley is a demon and she is 100% OK to sense something unnatural is up with him. She's dealt with demons before so you can make of it whatever you'd like.

Demonic Crowley is very nerfed in this game, so I think any of his abilities like sensing sin might not work on her unless you'd like them to (let me know). He might be able to recognize her as potentially like him, which would be worrisome and confusing for him because she's very different from demons in Good Omens canon.

Jason is a demigod, specifically son of the Roman god Jupiter. It's canon that a lot of monsters/creatures/gods can sense/smell this about demigods...apparently it's a very pleasant smell to them since most of the monsters are attracted to the smell and want to eat them.

He'd come across as probably pretty powerful too (it is also commented on in canon that children of The Big Three -- Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus -- are particularly potent). There wouldn't be a sense that he's evil, he's actually very much a hero, but definitely not pure human. Since he's the son of Jupiter I like to think part of it comes across like a storm/lightning approaching.

Jason wouldn't be able to sense anything about her demon essence though.

I mean, he's also part human and would honestly not blame her for that reaction.

The gods can kinda suck sometimes >_>

Riku is a human with some nifty powers! He might sense the darkness in Buffy, however, but in that case could you hit up my permissions too, for tracking purposes?

She's welcome to sense that there's something powerful about that Keyblade of his (when it appears, that is).

newt's a normal-ass human with no fancy supernatural abilities, weemp womp.

but! npc-wise, buffy would. absolutely be able to tell that rastus isn't human HAHA very secret plot knowledge, there. she would also be able to sense that he's got some magic in him!

robin is up in the lighthouse though, rip, so she will remain a mystery.
completelycrazy: NICE (happy • the countrysides were)

dana is mostly human with some alien DNA mixed in, however doctors not involved in the overall alien plotline in the show don't seem to recognize this so i'm not sure if buffy would, i'll leave it to you. elektra is totally human and neither would be able to recognize any supernatural abilities that buffy has.

Spidey-Sense: Castiel is an angel. He's a "wavelength of celestial intent", his true form is light and energy. His body is human (and alive, though without human soul inside), but he is very clearly not. If you want, she might even be able to sense the presence of his wings. They're not visible and not tangible, but they're there. She'd likely overall get the impression that he's much, much larger than his body - in the physical and metaphysical sense that this implies. He's just... more than the vessel. Much more.

Demon Essence: Castiel can see the true face of things and look into souls, so he would absolutely be able to see something demonic in her. It means if he wanted to use his offensive abilities on her, it would likely cost him a little more power or maybe be less effective etc. We can hash details for that out whenever they may or may not come up.

Spidey-Sense: there's a lot of chit chat about whether you could pull in wanda's mutant cross-canon origins and play with them a little here, or whether she's purely human and a full-on science experiment, or whether she's kind of a hybrid, and the mind stone simply awoke powers that were latent in both her and her brother, which is why they survived hydra's experimentation when none of the other volunteers did. she's not the kind of "witch" buffy is used to, but with her powers still growing in canon, she nearly veers into supernatural territory. i would say it's fair for buffy to sense something witchy about her!

Demonic: i don't think this will affect their skills or powers against or in alliance with each other; and while wanda can ultimately sense an essence coming from certain characters, i think we can decide when/where we want this particular topic to come up while chatting. wouldn't want to just spring it on you in any thread at random! yay plots!!!

Feel free to know who Aziraphale is. He'll just assume it's in an edition of the bible he somehow hasn't read, or something.

He won't recognize Buffy, he's like a hundred years late on pop culture.

feel free to be familiar with spider-man, tbh.

Fourth Wall Please don't break the fourth wall for Crowley, I don't want him to know he's fiction. I don't like my characters knowing they're interacting with other fictional characters (it's just a me thing), so I won't have him recognize her.

That being said, you can know everything about the snake in Eden from the Bible. Crowley thinks of the Bible as non-fiction.

Supernatural started airing in 2005 so no go there, but. JO HELLA KNOWS WHO BUFFY IS AND PROBABLY HAD THE SHOW ON BOOTLEG VHS or something.

She might be able to play it cool. For a little bit??
knifecollecting: (It's all sunshine)

[personal profile] knifecollecting 2019-11-02 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd apologize but I'm not going to. Jo is going to LOSE IT. She's not a Slayer but she's taken out monsters and vamps and demons. So. Buffy is a heroine for sure

Fourth Wall

KH came out in 2002, I'd rather not deal with "You're A Video Game Character, Harry Riku!" though if you want to jokingly refer to Riku looking like he totally stepped out of one of those wacky Japanese RPGs, have at! (A similar comment was made in KH3 itself.)

He didn't have Buffy: The Vampire Slayer in his world, so he won't be recognizing her.

newt's canon came out after 2003 so that's out, and my npcs are all ocs, so RIP THAT'S OUT TOO. if buffy would recognize any of their pbs though, she's welcome to do so! fourth wall me up idc.
paraskeptic: the answer is negative. (yes; i read you.)

[personal profile] paraskeptic 2019-11-03 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
i'm gonna be boring and say please don't fourthwall dana and she in turn won't be fourthwalling buffy. as for elektra she probably just wouldn't recognize her.

She won't recognize Hux from the sequel trilogy but she may understand references that come from the original trilogy so she's welcome to ask him about that.

lmao as we just disco'd, xander has ruined buffy about avengers, probably, even if buffy doesn't know who wanda is, specifically. so that'll be fun.

wanda doesn't know buffy but if she HAD gotten to see her show growing up she would have been a diehard fan.
