Basics
Name: Sage Lorainne Grayson
Nicknames: Lori, Klutzilla
Age: 15
Birthday: December 23rd
Grade: 10th
Power:
Enhanced Conditioning: This is a fairly simple and basic power. This makes her body at its physical prime, 24/7 with no outside help (though she does like working out in the gym anyway). This gives her a small amount of enhanced strength, agility, balance, reflexes, speed, and flexibility. It also makes her a little more durable than others so she can't get hurt as easily, such has her bones not snapping as easily as a normal person's. It focuses on more physical aspects than other versions of this power that also affect the mind. However, they're only slight boosts and nowhere near someone who has a true version of super human anything. She couldn't compete with them on any level.
Danger Intuition: Instead of being the basic sense that only focuses on herself, she has a small range of twenty feet around her person that she can sense dangers in. That would go for any living thing in the circle but only living things. So, if a ball was about to shatter a lamp she couldn't tell that but if it was able to hit someone within five feet of her she could. Often times with this she pushes her senses to focus on those other than herself, worrying more about them then her own wellbeing. This can cause this power to be practically useless when it comes to sensing danger to herself, so it still leaves her vulnerable. Along with that if there is a fight and someone makes a snap decision, changing their first course of action she most likely won’t be able to read the change fast enough to respond to it.
Clairempathy: This is a slightly more complicated version of empathy. Instead of focusing on the emotions that a person is holding within them in that exact moment it connects to both the past and future. It gives the user the ability to connect with emotions, at the most powerful scale, across the oceans. However, Sage is nowhere near that strong and often she can't sense anything more than two city blocks away. As said before, it doesn't always connect to the emotions of the present, though she can, it can also carry emotions through time. So, if someone felt something very strong at a particular moment in a room when she goes in that room she can sense that feeling. The same if something very strong (it has to be some extremely strong emotions such as love, despair, pain, ect.) she can sense it before it occurs. She tends to connect to the past in a stronger way, giving clearer readings, whereas the future can often become muddled. The present depends completely on the emotion. However, there are some draw backs. This is a power that is on a low level at all times but when she focuses she can't do it for too long. It will begin to strain her mind, beginning with headaches to migraines to basically frying her brain. All very painful. The emotions can also affect her in a way that can cause her to be physically ill if the emotion is too different from her own emotions at the moment or are simply too strong for her.

Canon or not: Not
Appearance:
There isn’t anything that makes Sage stand out in a crowd. She has a rather average appearance, standing 5’3 and weighing in at a whopping 115lbs. Her American heritage is more prominent than her Japanese blood line. Her face is shaped in an oval fashion, her chin softly rounded, giving her a slightly childish appearance. Her nose is a tad on the small side, matching her thin light lips. However, her large expressive green eyes seem to draw the attention of whoever is speaking to her. Lightly colored bangs fall into those eyes at times, the rest she normally pulls into two pigtails or some sort of fashion to keep it from falling into her face all the time. As for her body she quite literally has nothing in the curves department. She’s rather flat chested still and doesn’t have a notable curve for her hips, though you can tell it’s there depending on what she’s wearing.
As for clothing the hyper active girl prefers things that don’t always match her active personality. She has a love of skirts, the twirlier the better, but she always makes sure that they are accompanied by a pair of shorts underneath. As for tops it can range from anything but she likes the style of a long sleeve button down shirt with a colorful tank top underneath. When she’s feeling studious she may wear a vest. So, the school uniform doesn’t particularly bother her. Save the shoes, after all dress shoes are very different from her normal ratty sneakers, and the blazer. She much rather wear her own floor length, black coat. It only has two buttons down torso, white cuffs, and flares out in a trench-coat-flying-in-the-wind style. From time to time she’ll slip on a pair of gloves as well.
Personality
Overall Personality:
Front and center Sage is a very fun loving person. Most of the time she’s energetic, hyper, and over all pretty happy bouncing around. She loves to do physical activity and can often be found running around or just chilling in the gym. Though in these settings her more competitive sides shines through. When she’s not doing that she’s simply goofing around, having a good time and acting like a dork. She loves to dance horrible, make jokes and just find ways to make people smile. She can also settle down rather quickly and read a book. She adores books. A small hint that the book she’s reading can also point out how she’s feeling on that day. The books she reads expresses a lot about her.
Along with her overly playful nature the girl is simply a good person. She absolutely loves to help people and will often bend over backwards to do so. It can be anything from making them smile on a bad day to helping out in homeless shelters as she did in her youth. Since she’s such a kind hearted person she tends to see the good in everyone, even if it’s just a speck. She has this notion that everyone can be good and she wants to believe they are, though she knows otherwise. That knowledge doesn’t prevent her from hating at looking at the dark side of things unless forced.
There is something a bit odd about Sage, aside from her regular quirkiness. The closer you get to her, the more you get closed off when it comes to serious matters. Yes, she’ll still openly be affectionate towards you and be friends but when those calm, serious moments role around she becomes quiet and closed off. Almost as if she checks out of her emotions. She doesn’t want anyone to worry about her nor does she exactly remember how it feels to be taken care so that she’s okay with it. A little help now and then but she does prefer to do things on her own. Her issues are her own, so she doesn’t want others dealing with it.

History:
The classic story of high school love birds. Devoted to one another more than anything in the world. William Greyson and Akemi Fukui had met their ninth grade year, made their relationship official in tenth, and were faced with a massive problem during their eleventh. While just missing the classic ‘sixteen and pregnant’ the young couple decided to take it to the next level on Akemi’s seventeenth birthday. Once was all it took for her to soon have a small bump of a belly. While the young couple decided to keep the child they didn’t realize how much the soon to be little girl would change their lives.
However, problems would start from the very beginning. Sage was born into the world three months early with a difficult delivery. After recovering from that day her parents continued on with school, stopping at the hospital every day fretting over if their small fighter was going to make it or not. She seemed so small and fragile that they weren’t sure she would be able to pull through at first. Somehow, the small child made a wicked comeback. Only a few months later she was able to go home in her parents arms. This would be the start of many troublesome years for the small family.
Her parents didn’t realize the responsibility that a child would create and they most certainly weren’t ready to give up their childhoods yet. After getting married at the ripe age of eighteen they both went to college and many parties, often focusing on their social lives more than their little girl waiting for them at home. Often times little baby Sage would be shipped to grandma’s for the weekend so that they could live their lives. This didn’t cause much of a problem, as Sage grew she became rather close with her grandmother and loved staying there. It was a good first few years, even with her parents flying in and out of her life.
Then, her grandmother had a terribly nasty fall down a small flight of stairs. The old woman couldn’t make a comeback and died in the hospital a few days later. By this time Sage was eight and her parents felt that she was old enough to stay home by herself. She spent her time playing with toys locked in her house, slowly learning how to cook (rather poorly), and looking on the outside world. Eventually, the child received her own house key. With this handy dandy little tool she began exploring the street around her, slowly expanding her area of exploration over the years.
By the time she was thirteen the girl was bored to tears with the area around her home. She began volunteering with different organizations around her house. Especially those involving animals and the homeless. She felt fantastic now that she was out of the house and could help other people. One day, this weekly activity of handing out blankets to the homeless seemed to bring a certain sense of adventure. While in the midst of the group she felt a tug. Curiously she followed her gut, as she continued to go along the alleys she got a stronger pull. Darker, painful and it was flooding over her in massive waves, then it stopped and a single feeling hung over the air. Death.
Rushing forward she turned to an alley where the feeling was emanating from. Eyes wide, she looked down at it full of fear. Instead of discovering a dead body she saw a boy being roughed up by three grown men. That was the moment she met Cayden. The need to help was so strong she rushed into the alley straight away. Jumping on the back of one of the men she placed him into a choke hold (brought to you by the handy dandy self-defense classes she took at the school). It gave enough time for the boy to get back on his feet. Somehow, they managed to knock out two, mostly thanks to the brick walls and some lucky kicks, and dazed one.
Taking their chance the duo fled down the dark streets, eventually ending back at Sage’s house. They got on rather quickly, though they often buttheads over silly matters. By the end of the night, after Sage had cleaned him all up and fed him a burnt hamburger, she couldn’t stand to send him back out onto the streets. Thus, he stayed in her room. The first night she offered her bed while curled up in her circular chair in the corner. This lead to several months of hiding Cayden from her parents. Until eventually her parents did discover him. Barging in on her rather unexpectedly to announce they would be out for the evening they saw the boy sprawled over her bed, fast asleep, while she was in another room.
It took a lot of explaining, bawling, screaming, and all other manors to convince them to let him stay but Sage did win the argument. After all, the smart teenager had so many ways to make them look bad at this point that they eventually had to cave in. Not after a long winded lecture of how he had to stop sleeping in her room. Thus the night that Cayden gained free access to the guest room across the hall. So, they happily continued their time together and Sage finally had a reason to want to be home. She had a friend.
Over time she and Cayden began practicing different moves together. Creating many competitions and situations that Cayden had to save the clumsy girl. Yet, the happy days didn’t last. The men who has been after Cayden so long ago finally located him. Of course, the pair refused to let him be taken away. Learning from their previous lesson the men in black backed away from the angry, gifted teenagers and never returned. Who returned instead? Government workers. They appeared at their door not even three days later, practically kidnapping the children to Ashford giving false stories to Sage’s parents as a cover.

RP Sample:
-character is a hunter tracking down witches taken from a site called When Chaos Abounds-
Having the day off from one job most certainly meant that she’d have duties in another. It was early in the morning when the dark haired girl was woken from her light sleep with the sound of her cellphone throwing a fit. Groggily she answered the call, giving short answers before flipping the phone shut and tossing it away from her. A tip that there two witches selling suspicious items in the city, something that she definitely needed to check out. Laying still for a moment she groaned as she launched herself out of bed and began getting ready for the day ahead of her.
Tamsyn was going in strictly for recon at the moment, see if it were truly a pair of bad witches or those who sided with the light. So she didn’t particularly need to dress in her normal hunter wear. Instead she threw on a simple light blue tank top and another worn pair of jeans that she fished out of her drawers. Going through the motions of a normal eighteen year old she brushed her teeth, washed her face and through her curly locks up into a messy ponytail. Lastly, she went to the door loading herself with her boots, house keys, and a knife slid into her book in place of the stake. A wooden weapon wouldn’t be much help when it came to witches.
It didn’t take long for the young hunter to find her way to the store. Walking up she glanced at the name of the store. ’Wait… Isn’t this Lucas’s friend’s place?’ She questioned, hovering outside as she determined that it had to be the employees that were the witches. Lucas definitely wasn’t rooming with witches with the way he was. Heading in she glanced around casually, wandering the store until she came to one of the employees. “Hey… I’m looking for something that most stores don’t sell. A few specific herbs for a ceremony?” She smiled sweetly at the boy behind the counter. After a moment of eyeing her, nearly suspiciously, he nodded, “You want the wiccan stuff. Let me go get someone else.”
Leaning back she smiled as the disappeared into a back room. Easier than I thought…’ Tamsyn thought rather happily as she watched the door carefully, waiting to identify the witch who walked through it. When they did come back and she was able to identify them rather clearly, shockingly so. Feeling her calm mask slip from her face she looked up at one of the owners of the shop, “Wait… what?” She muttered, a bit stunned before shaking her head lightly. Her dark eyebrows drew together in confusion for a moment as Allie walked up to her. “Allie?” Tamsyn questioned, “Hey… how are you doing today?”
