Short and Sweet We Promise |

We'll admit this is short and sweet. It's first come first serve for the characters, we don't want doubles of a character running around, though PB's, as long as we don't have 400 of the same face running around it's cool. You will be alerted as soon as we can about getting your application. And as soon as the team of mods look it over you'll be informed of your acceptance. If denied, we'll give you a chance to add in details that we think need a little brushing up on and a shot to try again. If you fail that time I'm sorry you won't be able to app that character to the game, though feel free to try another character. |

Character Name: (Might be a good idea so we know what to call your character)
Ivy Weaver
Canon: (What fandom do they belong to?) I play her in a DC universe.
Background:(Give us at least 500 words about your character's life.)
Ivy is the daughter of Doctor Daniel Weaver and his wife Ruth Weaver. Ruth was not able to have anymore children after Ivy so she focused a great deal of her energy on Ivy. Ruth also had a very loud forceful personality while Daniel was a quite thoughtful man.
Though he did have a rebellious streak. Most people in the extended Weaver family are lawyers; he is not one he is a chemist at a small research firm based out in Boston. He would only complain Umbrella got the better and more interesting work since they were better funded.
While Daniel was from a very firm Roman Catholic background Ruth's family came from Louisiana and she was a Reform Jew though did not really participate actively in her faith and was okay with Daniel bringing Ivy with him to church on Sundays as she was growing up.
Ivy was very bright. She like her father had an interest in science at an early age. He encouraged it in his own way by bringing her to work when he could. When she was sixteen she was with him at work when there was an accident in one of the labs that wasn't supposed to be use. That was how Ivy lost her eyesight and she was put into a coma for four days.
She sank into a depression due to the loss of her eyesight. Her father almost fell into the bottle due to his sense of guilt over what happened to his only child and her mother did her best to hold them all together. Ivy kept pushing between not reacting at all and pushing them away not wanting to feel suffocated. It became worse for her when both of her parents became very clingy not wanting to see her hurt and seeing her as helpless rather than capable of being capable.
That is what drove her to recover. She taught herself braille and how to use a white stick quickly wanting to just get away as fast as she could. She felt too smothered by everyone around her and so when she applied to Harvard and got in she was just over joyed; she could get away and be her own person. Her Father's uncle offered to help pay her way through school so long as she at least checked in with him on occasion since he was a long time Grenich resident.
It was also dear Uncle Alex that encouraged her to try out a pre-law class. It was also him that helped her find an apartment with a room mate. He pulled strings to make sure she was a nurse without letting Ivy know out of concern that she might not take care of herself well enough without someone logical and reasonable about.
Bethany became Ivy's best friend. While Ivy wasn't in class or studying they would frequently go out for coffee or go shopping. They also frequently went on double dates since Ivy was very shy and Bethany knew just when to bail her out. But eventually Bethany fell in love and got engaged while Ivy's uncle Alex got very sick. It wasn't what Ivy wanted but she got talked into looking after him by family members who didn't live in town and since the lease on her apartment was up she moved into his guest room and started keeping an eye on things.
That was around the time she met Bill. He was a cop and was very charming. He also helped her with her Uncle when he was too much to handle for one person. They had a brief courtship and a fast marriage. Once Ivy was out of law school and practicing law working in the District Attorney's office in a low level position. That was when their marriage started to go sour. Bill thought she should work for a firm because it was safer.
They argued and fought a lot before their marriage fell down around their ears. The last straw was after her uncle passed away and she had one final argument with Bill. He walked out on her and she threw herself into her work while they divorced. She also made certain to go back to her maiden name feeling very bitter about the divorce still. That was the year she started to get ahead in the DA's office in New York City.
It was also that time she became deeply involved in trying to uncover a project Umbrella had been working on in New York City. She tried to bring it out into the light of day but due to corruption her career as an Assistant District Attrorney was destroyed. She still wants to take them down but she doesn't know how just yet.
Personality: (Now Give us at least 500 words, on what drives them to do what they do? Tell us their personality )
The Bull-Dog of the court room. Ivy is a very principled person. She belives in doing the right thing above all else. She has dedicated her life to helping people by fighting corruption wherever she finds it.
She is strict on herself when it comes to this though. Hard and uncompromising as a creature formed from iron. Ivy will not let anyone force her to back down. She will not be swayed by anything no one can tell her to give up or back down.
She will fight to the bitter end and if she has to she will crawl back from the dead and punch evil in the face.
Abilities: (Are they a great hacker? An angry green giant? How about the walking dead themselves? Give us some idea of what they can do)
Ivy is a lawyer with a genius-level intellect. She is the Batman of the courtroom.
Weaknesses: (Everyone has that trigger that makes them weak. What is your character's Kryptonite? Let us know some of those fears that the character would rather keep hidden.)
Ivy is blind and entirely human. She has a dependency of coffee and is a workaholic.
