Character Name: Anna Sage
Age: 18
Appearance:
Anna Sage
Anna has long, blonde hair. When she first joined the P.R.A., it was relatively short. She enjoys dying her hair in streaks and even full head at times. It was all actually due to the desire to feel happy about her appearance. It's more like a way to feel more comfortable about herself, but if you asked her why, she'd just tell you it was because she was bored. Hair is the easiest way to change styles.
Aside from that though, she is slender and has porcelain toned skin. She's paler than most girls, but she has no desire to tan. Too many things could happen from tanning beds. She sees no reason to do so, anyways. She's happy the way she is. Besides, living in London doesn't really provide a lot of sun. She's reasonably thin, so she doesn't particularly have to work out. She still does work out for the sake of staying strong, rather than to lose weight though.
Of course, not all of her appearance is just because she was bored or anything. At times, she was fawned over and people would say how pretty she was. She usually just shrugged it off as a complement and nothing more, but she does seem to have some affect on her personality due to it. She can be a little vain at times, usually when she feels like actually flirting back. She's highly influenced by certain fashions, but she's not really a follower of things, per se. She tends to have a bit of an odd style that's divided/combined between three different labels: scene, punk, and preppy. While she doesn't really fit in just one classification, she tends to mix the different styles together. The closest thing for her would probably be scene, though.
World Information: . . . The Paranormal Rumor Agency. Founded forty years before, in 1940, it has progressed phenomenally -- from humans with guns as weapons, to humans with extraordinary abilities. Each year, six new humans have been recruited.
Now 1956, in New York, USA, the Paranormal Rumor Agency is disguised as the P.R.A. No one knows about it except the six teenagers working for it, and the people with paranormal problems, themselves. Things that need to be solved such as zombies, ghosts, or anything else superficial. Problems that need rumors added to help increase popularity (such as haunted houses, or maybe a new café) are also accepted -- hence the name. All that is needed is a simple phone call.
However, one month after being hired (or forced to work for the P.R.A.), the teenagers have heard of several reports. People going missing, people found dead on the streets -- and most of all, a new, suspicious group of people -- later found out to be the Linear Energy Acceleration Faculty (L.E.A.F.) -- almost the same age as them stealing their work. They are not registered as an official company, but people still call in for their help. Their motive; It's simple. The L.E.A.F. exists to cleanse the world of people they deem "impure" -- those who do not possess supernatural ability like they do. Or just the people who get in their way of anything.
Personal History: Anna originally came from London, England. As fate would have it, she was forced to move to the United States due to her parents getting some good jobs. As much as she didn't want to move, she eventually gave in. Not that she had much of a choice. She was pretty open to America in general, though. She was admitted to a local school in New York. At first, she seemed like that idol there. She was a foreigner, after all.
She managed to catch the eyes of Sebastian Black. Sebastian started as a customer for the P.R.A. and he eventually became a member, though he has no actual supernatural ability. At first, it was in a way that he was attracted to her. That changed to pure curiousity once he saw her use her ability on someone who was harrassing her. Of course, he couldn't place it on her just yet, but he could clearly see the guy's terrified look on their face before they rushed off.
She displayed no desires for a boyfriend or any kind of romance. Her attention was brought up among the others during a meeting they had. Since he has no actual abilities, they placed him on the duty to find recruits. She ended up joining up as a new recruit, among others. She showed leadership skills and other such skills that proved her worth during those times. She started out as a trainee, but she quickly advanced to an equal rank as some of the other P.R.A. agents.
At first she had a pretty heavy British accent and usage of slang, but a lot of it died down as she stayed in America. But, she still does use quite a bit of British slang. Alec -- another member of the P.R.A. -- looks girly and she would intentionally call him a girl or a nancy boy just to piss him off. Alec and her argue a lot. If you didn't know them, you'd probably find it impossible for them to be friends. They have a love-hate relationship, though. A lot of crap came from Alec about her slang and confusion of some of the American slang.
She was soon welcomed into the P.R.A. as if she had been there for just as long as they have. She bacame a vital agent for the group. The time came when there were some new recruits once agian and Anna met Izzy, a computer genius. She became an assistant to him during some missions.
Personality: Anna is pretty easy to get along with. She's a social butterfly, so she loves meeting new people and talking; Especailly talking. She's always been talkative. She generally trusts everyone, to some degree, at first. As she gets to learn them, she'll learn to kind of adjust how much she'd trust them, though. Once you break her trust, you lose her respect. Once you lose her respect, be ready to have a bitchy brit on your ass. It's very difficult to get back. It's not impossible, but you have to suck up to her a lot. It takes a lot to break her trust. Of course, it all depends on what happens. A few ways to make it happen is to betray her trust. Another sure fire way would be to continuously piss her off everyday. Whenever she tries to help people and they don't even try to help her in return or even try to listen to the advice she has, it gets old fast.
It pisses her off when people bitch and moan about their lives and act like their problems are more important. She knows plenty of people that are worse off and they don't bitch or anything. She, too, has her occasional problems and insecurities, but she's the last person to tell everyone around her. It should be said that she tends to hate people who act just like her because she can't fix her own problems. Some traits aren't bad, but she's insecure about what people truly think of her. She'll act like it doesn't bother her, but probably no one else will notice this about her. Not unless you're pretty close to her.
Along with her own insecurities, she hates idiots most of all. According to Anna, Alec would fall into this category. She feels that he can't help but sound stupid every time he opens his mouth. Though, part of that would be due to how identical they are at times, which causes the love-hate friendship they have. People who think too highly of themselves pisses her off too, though she can be a little vain at times too. She'd love nothing more than to deck them when they try to act like they're all that and a bag of chips. Womanizers are definitely against her standards that she holds. She's asexual for the most part, but people who through themselves at people so easily annoys her. She doesn't particularly like being told what to do, but she does have some lenience towards it in general.
She can be pretty sassy and has a bit of an attitude. She has a short fuse when she's distracted or busy with other work. It's more important to her when it's an investigation. She's serious about her work. So far, she may seem like a girl who's uptight and rude, but there's more that meets the eye. She's British, so she does have the accent. Her time in America has simmered it down a bit, though.
Sometimes she can be seen as crude due to the fact that she tends to swear a lot. Most the time, she ends up using either "bloody" or "bleeding". She's also been exposed to so many sexual jokes and such. Because of that, her mind tends to roll in the gutter. It's to the point where it could practically live there. Of course, she knows when it's appropriate or not. She also knows when it's best to keep it to herself around certain people.
Aside from the normal traits that are already listed, she does have others that may or may not show as often as the others do. It's easy to say that she was just curious about what her powers meant and how she got them. Once she found out about the P.R.A., she was instantly curious about it. Maybe she could answer some questions that she's had for so long? Still, she's too stubborn to easily admit that she was genuinely interested. In fact, when Sebastian approached her about it, she kept on dodging his question by replying with answers that showed little to no curiosity.
She gets pretty defensive at times and she'll dodge questions with different things. Once you call her out on it, she'll thoroughly deny it. She would much rather say that she changed her mind rather than to admit to being wrong. However, there is more motivation to join the P.R.A. than she gives away. Her parents do care about her, but she feels like they don't understand her. When weird, paranormal things happened with her, her parents would act like it was okay, but in reality she knew that they much of thought she was nuts. As much as she wanted to get comfort from her parents -- genuine comfort that was actually real -- she really had no one to turn to. First signs of her illusions freaked her out, but she got over it in time. She got to the point where she wanted others who accepted her for her. She figured the best way to get both answers and acceptance was to enter the P.R.A., which makes these missions even more special to her.
Like everyone else, she has her likes and dislikes. While she hates womanizers and people who are full of themselves, she likes people who have a strong will and courage. She loves all types of food. She eats a lot, but she never seems to gain a lot of wait because she's either busy or exercising to stay fit. She doesn't exercise to lose weight, though. She absolutely adores Chinese food. She has a big sweet tooth to add on to her appetite. It's not odd to see her with candy of some sort almost all the time, but she doesn't always get it. She loves spaghetti and chicken. Some of her favorite deserts are cheesecake, cupcakes, regular cake, brownies, and of course ice cream -- mint or cinnamon flavored. She's pretty open when it comes to trying new food, but she doesn't like sea food that much. She'll eat it if she has to, but she definitely could do without it. She's a sucker for cute things and tends to have a somewhat one track mind at times. Just throw down something sparkly or shiny and she'll stop in the middle of a sentence or walking to point it out. Music is her life, so she's really into music. She likes to relate to certain songs.
She absolutely hates coconut. She's not really allergic to anything, but there are some textures that make her want to puke almost. Coconut and shrimp are the two that make her feel that way. She doesn't even really know what they taste like because the texture overrides any sort of taste for some reason. She hates arrogant people who think they're better than someone else. Most the time, she'll ignore them, though. If you ask a stupid question to her, she'll most likely stare at you and say, "are you mental?" You'd either get that answer or completely ignore you. She doesn't really like authority too much, but it's a very minimal feeling. As long as you don't tell her what to do, how to do it, and when to do it, she won't mind as much. The only people she'll take orders from most the time are Rae, her parents, or maybe -- if lucky -- teachers. Not that she really concerns herself with them much anymore.
Strengths: Anna, as part of the Paranormal Rumor Agency [P.R.A.], has a special part in the group. Though, she is an add on to the original group, she does well in going up into the ranks to eventually reach what the other are. One thing is common among most of them; Almost all of them have a certain supernatural ability. Anna's ability is not a heads-in-first fight suited ability. Shes stares into someone else's eye and concentrates to create an illusion, specially delivered just for them to see. They'll seem so real as if it's actually happening. They can vary from silly illusions to stuff that just scares the living shit out of them. She does have some computer skills, but it's not the best. She can hack someone or something if she needs to, but that usually goes to their computer technition, Izzy. She does play assistant to him from time to time, though.
Weaknesses: Like everyone else, Anna has her weaknesses to. She has a glaring weakness that she really hates to point out or have pointed out. Her supernatural ability can be very useful and it evolves over time. However, it only works if she keeps her concentration. Her concentration can be broken easily if she's not careful. Not only that, for now, it only works on one person. People who have a strong enough will can break free from her illusions. Just like how some people break out of hypnosis, it's possible for them to break out of her illusions.
First Person Sample:
[Anna glanced around to her new surroundings, taking it all in after picking herself off the ground. She was certain she was in America when she fell asleep, but now this place was completely different. It took a moment before she really let her surrounding sink in.]
Just where in the bloody 'ell am I? I swear to god, I'm going to wring that ignorant git's neck when I see him.
Alec! You nancy boy! Where are you?! This isn't funny!
[Just then, she noticed land arriving closer. She didn't seem to realize she was on some sort of boat or ferry until she saw the land. When the boat came to a stop, she saw a shadowed figure. All she seemed to notice was the skeletal hand. Even though she dealt with this stuff plenty of other times, not knowing where she was or how she got there didn't help any.]
What the bleedin 'ell is going on here?! Let go of me!
[She was taken off the ferry and left on the dock. She went to look back towards the ferry. There was no sign of the figure or the ferry. She let out a groan, turning to look at the place that she was now stranded at.]
Third Person Sample: Anna was in a rush. After a week or so, the P.R.A. -- Otherwise known as the Paranormal Rumor Agency -- had finally seen some real action. Everything has been investigation and book work until now. No, now she had Rae barking out orders for everyone and everyone frantically running around to get their jobs done. Even as a 16 year old, Rae did a good job to lead the P.R.A.; so much so that they all seemed to hold a high respect for the girl. Anna set down a stack of paper next to Izzy, who was busy trying to hack into survailence of their target.
"Crap! They've caught on and retaliated! Anna, give me a hand," he told her.
Anna nodded, not giving it much thought as she took a seat at the other computer across from Izzy. Her slender fingers pressed the keys in a fast pace, her dark chocolate colored eyes never leaving the screen to check where the keys were. She was fast, doing her best to keep up with Izzy to hack them back.
"Bleeding 'ell! These blokes are pretty damn good at this. It's hard to keep up with them. Izzy, I'm in," she cursed under her breathe.
"Good, I'm doing my best to hold them back. Can you access the files that they have and have them copied to the flash drive? It won't take long for them to realize what we're after and try to delete it," Izzy asked.
"You've got it," she said simply, starting to get the files neccesary to their investigation.
While everyone seemed to be busy with this operation, it was really no surprise to Anna that Alec was slacking around. His presense was clearly known due to his loud mouth. She also had this thing that for some reason she could tell when he came around. She didn't have the time for his bullshit right now. Why he was still here was beyond her. Even though she did her best to ignore his presence and continue on getting the files, he made his way over to her. She was certain it was just to piss her off.
"What's wrong, can't even handle something simple like this?" he mocked.
"Go away you bloody git. I'm busy doing my job, unlike you. This isn't simple. I doubt you'd be able to manage it," she said with an icy tone, never letting her attention leave the screen and what she was currently doing.
"I've done my job already," he replied dryly.
She did her best not to turn around and kick him away, but she started to twitch regardless of what she tried avoiding. "Then get the 'ell out of 'ere! I don't have time to deal with your bullshit, nancy boy," she said.
"Don't call me that! I swear to god I will-" she heard Alec starting to say.
Once his muffled voice was heard, it seemed like relief to me. I didn't look behind due to the lack of patiance and the ability to at the current situation. She did hear an all too familiar voice. She wasn't sure if it's one she really wanted to hear at the moment.
"Now, now, Alec. Give her a break. She's hard at work. Besides, you're up, Alecandra. Go get changed," Sebastian said, probably with a giant grin. He had an oh-so-sarcastic tone of voice as he emphesized the last part.
She groaned as she heard them bickering back and forth. Finally, when the file was complete, she turned and glared at the two of them.
"Will the two of you shut the fuck up?! How do you like spiders? Or maybe I should make it scorpians instead?" she threatened, making her intentions clear.
Alex said nothing, but Sebastian thought it was amusing clearly. He started to laugh a little at their expressions. He put his hand on her shoulder, "Calm down. There's no need to use that ability of yours on us."
She plucked his hand off her shoulder as if he was a dirty diaper that nobody wanted to touch. "I don't know about you two, but I'm busy," she said, getting up. "Izzy, I'm going ahead since you've got everything under control now. I need to get back to the investigation."
She tossed him the flash drive with the files and walked off. Her main priority was to get this case solved. There was nothing normal about a possible genicide from some phychopatic moron that clearly had paranormal powers that could be very dangerous. That's how Anna rolled, though. Rae had given her the okay as she went on ahead. If anything her illusions could give them some more time if she found nothing else.
