The section where these words are is the "Public Information" section, along with the "Appearance" section below. Only put information here that the average member of the public would know about your character. That way, someone looking to avoid accidental metagaming can just look ONLY at those sections, to get an idea of your character.
Basically, it's just a little summary of them, and of what we know publicly. Don't be too worried if there's not a lot here! Once they've been around for awhile, it may help to create a little timeline sorta thing using a bulleted list.
Character Sheet
Appearance
A thin, short Caucasian teen, Slavic. Her hair's a dark black, and is kept short although she's been growing it out. She has a wide smile, slightly upturned nose and large dark green eyes. Cute, beautiful even, she carries herself with an ease and a confidence now that she's missed for years. She's actually quite buff, she definitely works hard in the gym.
Equipment and Resources
Timeline's Motorcycle - A restored Minsk M1M, modified with a newer engine and emergency lights that are subtle enough for her to use her bike as a civillian mode.
Tinkertech
If you're not a tinker, just delete this entire section. Include a heading for each piece of tinkertech!
Skills and Specializations
Fluent in Spanish, sorta-kinda some French, a conversational speaker in Mandarin and passionate for American Sign Language.
A fluid and skilled deceiver, her power has made the habitual lier have to become clever at telling misleading statements, half-truths and other forms of social manipulation to keep her power leveraged.
Some first aid training, enough that she could do a tracheotomy in an emergency. Slowly working on a black belt in Jeet Kune Do, basics of fencing and has the fundamentals of HEMA down, particularly with longswords and rapiers.
Mentality
self-explanatory.
Power
Can be affected by her own power.
The ability to tell one lie and have it be believed as truth. This applies to one topic, not one article of fact, (EG: "Sure this is legal, I own the place," would be considered part of one lie as it deals with one concept (this is legal because I own the place) rather than being broken into two lies (this is legal, and I own the place).
However, the moment she tells another lie the falsehood is no longer under her power. (EG "Sure this is legal, I own the place, and this car is mine too" would cause the first lie to be knowable as a lie, while the second lie (this car is mine too) would be considered true.)) If they aren't nearby or currently thinking about the lie they will act normally, without influence from the lie, once another lie is told, but if they pause to consider their actions they can become aware that their thoughts changed for seemingly no reason.
Anyone within physical earshot is under the effect of her power, however any artificial means of extending her voice (Loudspeakers, TV Broadcasts) do not work and her words are perceived as normal.
Additionally, her power will not affect anyone with enhanced logical abilities or truth detection, and it will be confused and not work if she attempts to create a logical paradox.
Repeatedly telling the same lie will act as a new lie each time, leaving the target with the chance to realize that someone has been altering their mind. However, the lie that is in place at that time is still active regardless of whether the previous lies have been realized.
Created Minions tend to not be affected by her power, as the power is not designed to alter other Shard’s thought processes.
She no longer is protected from her own lies, and if she hears her own lie will fall under her own powers effect
After her second trigger -
When an inanimate cause of harm has been causing sustained harm for at least 15 seconds, Emily’s shard marks it as ‘false’, and the cause of the harm is removed from existence up to the point that it would no longer be causing harm, at which point it returns to existence at the point it would be at normally as if there had been no power acted upon it. Mind altering effects are included under this effect. It can turn ‘off’ an instance of any power’s usage that are constantly causing harm, although it does not prevent additional uses of that power. An exception to her turning powers off via her Trump effect is that she cannot turn off her own Master power.
While something has been marked ‘false’ by her power, she is absolutely, completely unable to believe that she should currently be being affected by said thing or that it exists. She can come to understand this part of her power, and may understand what happened post-facto, just not during the actual use of this side of her power.
Additionally, 15 seconds after receiving harm, Emily begins to do what is functionally regeneration at a quick pace, enough that she could regrow a full limb within 20 minutes. In reality, she is simply ‘undoing’ the damage, making it act as if it had never even happened. Should she ever be affected by a Trump that would remove her power, all of the damage that has been done to her and been ‘healed’ would immediately return.
A two part example of this would be if she had been stabbed.
Example A - Someone ran up, stabbed her, and ran away. After 15 seconds, she will begin to heal, and nothing else happens.
Example B - Someone ran up, stabbed her, and stayed to keep twisting the knife. After 15 seconds, the knife will dissapear, and she will begin to heal. If the knife would have fallen out of her of it’s own accord without the person pushing it in, it will reappear after having fallen out. If it would have stayed stuck in there, it will remain there, nonexistent. If she were to come into contact with certain kinds of Trump, the knife will later reappear inside her. Even if the knife had fallen out, the stab wounds would reappear under the effects of this Trump.
