Basics
Name: Yuliana Solovyova- Юлиана Соловьёв
Nicknames: Yulia (for the friends who know her better)
Age: 16
Birthday: March 1
Grade: 10th (although her knowledge for many things is much less than that)
Power: Can create a deflective barrier that pushes back people a short distance when touched, however any object will not be pushed back. (Like literally if you wear gloves you can touch the barrier, but any skin from the outside will be pushed back. And yes, hair is not considered "skin" although I've heard some very convincing arguments.) Her barrier is essentially a glass bubble but can actually be shaped and can be used to surround around an individual but the effectiveness of the shield is much less strong. Individuals starting inside the barrier can get out but people can't enter in without Yulia making an opening. When her shield breaks, there is the sharp sound of shattering glass and Yulia gets a horrible headache that can send her to her knees if the shield uses enough of her concentration. All damage done to the barrier is converted to internal damage (strange bruising internally in her body, possible internal bleeding, migraines, and even reopening of old wounds) to Yulia’s body, but a few percent less than the actual amount of damage that was originally dealt out. If the shield is broken particularly hard, Yulia commonly begins to cough out blood and continue to have blood start coming from her mouth if she continues to create shields. The shield, when breaking, can create a bright light at the point of rupture. Since Yulia is blind, it doesn't affect her but can practically blind anyone nearby pretty effectively. Also, weapons work better on her barrier than just hitting/kicking it.
(More specific details: Yulia’s barrier is essentially like transparent glass, the only way you know the barrier is there is if you were in it- you just had a feeling. In terms to the limits of the barrier, it is dependent on distance and strength:
Barrier (solely) not connected to Yulia: The barrier can take up to a large oak falling on top of it, with full concentration, nearby, and with a healthy body. If the barrier was 100 yards away, it would probably only be able to deflect rain at best. At 30 yards it would be able to take small projectiles even though it would still be a struggle. Anywhere closer would effectively be in the range of Yulia’s senses so it the barrier can be good in protecting blows and any hard hits. At the cost of her health though.
Barrier surrounding person: Basically the barrier would be protecting a person from shrapnel and any heavy blows but will be AMPLIFIED to Yulia instead of being diminished. It sucks a lot more for Yulia so she doesn’t do it often. She also must touch the person to create the barrier surrounding him/her. The range of the barrier is much shorter, at 25 yards she can’t do it anymore.
Barrier with Yulia in/touching it: Pretty much maximum effectiveness. Her barrier would be able to stop the power of bullets and just more powerful hits. The larger the barrier, the less effective the defense but she can reinforce parts of the shield if necessary at the cost of weakening other sides.)
Enhanced senses: being able to feel colors, “smelling” emotions, and hearing shapes of things (using sounds from afar and air if really close) In short, due to her blindness, Yulia discovered that she could develop traits that just helps her move around in general. For feeling colors, she can just feel colors, not in extreme gradients but it's enough to not feel the world in pixels. In terms of “smelling” emotions, Yulia can unusually accurately sense someone's emotions by various cues that people have when they are feeling something- although it's the most unreliable since its ineffective with anyone who hides his/her emotions. In terms of hearing shapes, (OOC: there are people in real life who actually can do this) she can hear shapes and be able to distinguish its size and distance from simple sound waves (like clicking her tongue) although the biggest flaw is of course that a lot of nose makes detecting things harder. If close up, she can even get a near perfect image of the object by simply feeling the shift of air around it.
A “6th sense-” something that Yulia has developed from her blindness that allows her to be able to feel if trouble is brewing and is the method that allows her to detect a threatening object or person. It’s enhanced by her senses and has a max effectiveness of about 30 yards. The main thing about this sense though is that it’s more oriented for herself in case she gets attacked, but is possible to detect attacks towards other people if she is close enough.
Member Group: Neutral but leans Battle Front most times, but will also side Perfects from time to time if she believes that it is right to do so.
Canon or not: I don’t think so?
Appearance: One main thing about Yulia is that she is blind. Although she still is able to open her eyes and uncannily be able to look at the general direction of the sound, she usually keeps a red bandanna wrapped around her eyes. If her bandanna is ever taken off, you get her eyes replaced with glass eyes that barely covered the two blood-red holes of where her eyes were gouged out when she was younger. She has a rather thinner stature but with enough of a build to run a 4k without being very winded. At a fairly nice 6’, she’s tall but you can easily misjudge her height because she tends to keep her distance from others since she has a tendency to feel that normal distance conversation adding a little too much stress on her ears.
Her face has a fairly simple appearance, she has a nose that is oddly German despite the fact none of her family has only lived in Russia and a fairly small mouth that has never touched makeup. She has unusually smooth hair that just barely touches her shoulder and has several stray hairs that occasionally float in front of her face but she never really bothers to push them behind her ear since it doesn’t really annoy any of her important senses.
Although Yulia does know, but doesn't talk about it, she has a horrid scar along her back right thigh from when she tried to jump off of a train while running away from “the school” and also a crisscross of faint scars along her back that were from her owner’s whippings. The only scars that Yulia does talk about without a struggle are the smattering of some marble-like scars that specks her torso caused by a hunter who accidentally shot her with a shotgun.
Yulia normally wears her uniform exactly as instructed unless she is told otherwise. Except for the tie where she keeps it looser than normal. She will always wear a fur coat given to her by Askanya (see history) when it is cold. In general, Yulia is smiling when she meets other people, but will sometimes look deep in thought while trying to access people and her surroundings.
Personality
Positive:
* Fair minded- She likes to (try to) get both sides of the story before she acts
* Neutral (usually)- She is generally ambivalent about every person she meets no matter how sketchy he or she can be. It’s a key part of her belief to never judge a person by his or her cover and only let his or her actions and words mould out a true person. However she is careful about the intentions of a person even when she starts to know him or her better.
* Always prepared- Although she is not in any way a medical specialist, she has taught herself basic medical aid and knows how to dress basic wounds and slow bleeding with a belt or string.
* Tough person in general- Just in character, Yulia is a more “tough it out” type of person since she lived being forced to tough it out in the mines when she is young.
* Open to talks- Yulia’s soft character is good for talking to others about more private things, and since she can’t see him or her, she can pretty much have no actual way to judge the individual and give a fair response.[/ul]
Negative:
* Neutral- Her neutral until proven otherwise attitude easily makes her gullible and mislead towards a person’s true nature.
* Zones out often- Just does it especially if she is introduced to some feeling that she has never felt before
* Has flashbacks of her past- Probably one of her biggest weaknesses, if something happens that causes her to remember her past she'll literally break down and hide.
* Hard to know very well- Since she has a rather tough childhood, she doesn’t like to talk much about her past
* Tries to act like she has eyes- A weird thing Yulia does is to pretend she actually has eyes and simply says she doesn’t need them. It’s a side effect of simply not wanting people to see what is remaining of her eyes. She’s not arrogant about not being able to see, but it’s still misleading to others. [/ul]
Likes:
* To sing to herself- It's just a thing she does to soothe herself, she's good at making fake tunes too
* The ocean- No one really knows, not even Yulia. The waves can be loud enough to hurt her ears and smells very strong, but she still enjoys sitting on the beach
* Sweets- Because why not? : P [/ul]
Dislikes:
* People trying to take off her bandanna- Although it’s not that big of an issue, she is a little afraid of the reactions people have when they see the holes she has for eyes
* Alcohol- It was an issue from her past that she absolutely hates
* Fighting- She sees it unnecessary but accepts it as a thing in life, although she still dislikes it
[/ul]
Extra: The only big thing to know about Yulia is that she will pretend to have working eyes when her bandanna is covering her eyes. She also has a tendency to not wear her glass eyes since it only makes it feel weird. Her English is also good because her father could speak English and viewed it as extremely important for her to learn, but has a kind-of Russian accent which she tries hard to cover up even though it is still very obvious. Also I want to just emphasize that if read the history and still don't know what can trigger her break down, it's simply any action that hints in sex or a whip. And in terms of a breakdown, she just becomes first very defensive and then suddenly snap and try to get away. Just sayin.

Behind the Character
Name: Ellie
Chatango Name: Seishir0
RP Experience: A good 5-6 years but hopped around quite a bit
How did you find us?: I’m a very old member : P, but back then… I discovered this site through ad clicking.
RP Sample: Allison sat down on the sofa with a with a satisfied sigh. Despite everything that happened recently, she felt more at peace at this moment than any other time during the war. In fact, it was as if she believed that what she was hired to fight for was even correct. It was as if having a confirmed kill count of nearly 150 people was completely justified because of what she was feeling right now.
Shaking her head, the mercenary set her pride and glory .308 Cheyeene Tactical sniper rifle down on the table in front of her and began to disassemble the gun.
------Someone else replies…-------
Allison heard the front door squeak open and had a handgun trained at the rather large opening that split the kitchen from the living room where she sat in. The house was small and the front door directly led into the kitchen so whoever came in was only several steps away from a bullet.
“Alice I swear if you hit my barrel again I'm gonna make you pay for the repairs this time.”
Letting about a sigh of relief, Allison slowly put we handgun down, letting a weary Marcus walk in with five other men from his group following.
“Well it's good to know that you haven't lost your edge.” Marcus commented while sitting down beside her. She watched the rest of Marcus’s men settle down in the kitchen before speaking.
“Well I am a war angel, can't be more ready than someone barging in and stitching me up with bullets you know.”
Although the rules of being a war angel asks for her to interact as little as possible with other people. Being in the company with her fellow mercenaries like Marcus isn't all that bad despite circumstances. Putting the pistol down, Allison continued to clean her rifle.
