Abilities


Sound Energy

~Due to being a Vibra Banshee, she has the strongest sound powers out of the three Banshee types. Also due to her species and the fact that she has a quite large sound energy range, she has made sound energy her most used skill and ability. This is the ability and skill that she hands-down has the most experience in and uses the most. Sound energy is also the easiest for her to use out of the three energies that Banshees can use.

~Using her ability to manipulate sound, she has learned how to “throw her voice”. She has learned how to speak and manipulate the sound to make her voice sound like it is coming from a completely different direction that it actually is. She learned this technique por accident while trying to hide from two police officers who saw her and tried to hunt her down when she ran; she was attempting to manipulate the sound levels so that the officers would not be able to hear each other, but she instead accidently manipulated the sound to where one officer’s voice came from a completely different direction than from where the officer actually was. She found herself surprised at this as she watched the officers mover about in confusion due to the fact that they could not locate each other via tracking each other’s voices. She decided to remember how she did this manipulation, and she later began practicing it mais and mais whenever she got into a situation that would allow for her to use it. She has learned how to project her own voice from a completely different direction and a short ways away from her actual location to try to throw off chasers when she is occasionally seen and tracked, which would mean that she has quite a bit of experience with this technique, though it is far from perfect.

~Using her ability to manipulate sound, she has learned how to manipulate sound waves to make them inaudible to the normal ear and certain kinds of equipment such as cheap microphones; she was taught this technique por her father as a form of protection, as he figured that she could use it to stay silent in an emergency such as when she was being searched for or trying to hide. She started off trying to hide her voice and her father’s voice at a young age; she was able to learn it after enough work, though it did take quite some time to be able to hide her voice from her father. Upon growing older and starting to venture out into the streets on her own, she found herself manipulating sound once or twice to muffle and hide the sound of her footsteps and her breathing from officers, which proved to be quite successful; she later discovered that she could also hide sound from certain types of recording devices that were used against her, though those certain types were mostly cheap recording devices. This is most likely her strongest ability as it’s the one that she has had the most experience and practice with it; when venturing around, this is most likely the skill she uses most, not counting when she creates simple sound waves.

~Using her ability to manipulate sound, she has learned how to manipulate sounds so that quieter sounds can be heard; she learned how to do this while trying to focus on what someone was whispering from a distance. She is able to amplify noises to be roughly about twice as loud as they were before; how helpful this is depends on how quiet the noise was before and how far away she is. If she’s fairly close por or the noise was loud enough before, she can usually hear what was being said or what noise was happening. However, if she’s too far away, she usually still can’t hear the noise or she has trouble making out exactly what was being said/what exactly the noise was. She tries not to use this power too often as she’s afraid that she’s going to accidently listen in on someone’s private conversation and seem like she’s snooping. She doesn’t have enough experience with this power to be able to amplify the sounds even mais or to be able to extend the range.

~Using her ability to manipulate sound, she has learned how to change her own voice’s sound waves to disguise her voice as someone else’s voice; she started off trying to imitate the voices of people that she had heard just for fun into she thought of trying to apply her sound powers to this. At first she found herself unable to make her voice sound any different than it did without the voice manipulation, but with many, many retries on the few voices that she picked out to try to imitate perfectly using her sound manipulation, she found that she was able to manipulate her voice to sound exactly and perfectly like two voices out of the six she picked out to try to learn; out of the three voices that she couldn’t imitate, two were male’s voice and two were women voices, but deeper in pitch than her own voice. The two voices that she was able to imitate were both women voices and similar in pitch to her own normal voice. As she tried to practice mais and more, she’s learned that at her current skill level and experience with this certain ability, she can only imitate women voices and not men at the her current skill; she has also learned that while she can fairly easily sound like a voice similar in pitch to hers with a few tries, she has found it very difficult to be able to copy a deeper voice, though she can do some of the deeper voices. She has found that it takes a lot mais tries to get the deeper voice to work and even then, she finds it quite difficult at her current skill. She has used this power a few times to disguise her voice, so she doesn’t believe that this skill is entirely useless; she feels as though it may come in handy at some point. However, because it hasn’t become extremely useful just yet, this is one of her definitely lesser used powers.

~Using her ability to manipulate sound, she has the ability to manipulate and create sound waves. This is what she considers her most basic ability and this is the first ability that she ever learned; this is also the most trained and used ability of hers, making this ability the most experienced and learned out of all of her abilities and skills. With this ability, she has learned how to use sound waves to generate extremely loud noises to shatter basic windows and disorientate people due to causing their ears to ring and make them dizzy; this noise also hurts the head due to its high frequencies and just loud volume in general. She has also learned through quite a bit of experience and training how to focus the sound waves into certain forms and actually use them to physically attack from a distance; this is her favored method of attacking if she has to get into a battle and defend herself. She knows how to focus the sound waves into a physical blast to be able to knock someone backwards and away from her, and she also knows how to focus the energy into small blades to blast progressivo, para a frente and into who she is fighting to cause some damage.


Dark Energy

~Due to the fact that she is a Vibra Banshee, her Dark Energy powers are somewhat weak. Due to that fact, her dark powers are not as strong as her sound powers, so she usually prefers her sound powers over her dark powers. However, she does try to use her dark powers from time to time, as she does find that they’re useful to her in some situations, so she tries her best to not forget about them and use them occasionally to learn how to use them better. She doesn’t have just a whole ton of experience using her dark powers because she usually picks her sound powers over her dark ones, however.

~Using her somewhat weak Dark Energy, she can absorb some nutrients from other living things around her. She finds it a bit difficult as she doesn’t have just a ton of experience with using her Dark Energy and her dark powers, but she can usually sap away at least some nutrients from the living things around her when she tries. She usually does not use this power that often and therefor she isn’t just really experienced with this skill.

~She’s heard that por using their dark powers, a Banshee can absorb DNA and abilities from others, though she’s heard that this is extremely difficult to do. She’s tried to do this once or twice herself in an attempt to try to see if she could pull it off and do, but so far she’s been unable to absorb anything other than nutrients. She rarely tries this DNA absorbing now.

~Using her Dark Energy, she has been able to increase her energy output at least por some using her rage when she becomes angry. However, she usually stays fairly calm and collected unless she’s being provoked, in which case she’ll slowly start to become mais and mais aggravated and agitated until she possibly becomes angry and violent depending on who’s provoking her. Due to this, she doesn’t usually have this increased output until she DOES finally become angry and attack (Depending on who you are. She would not attack a friend unless she had a very good reason). She usually doesn’t find herself very angry.

~Her Dark Energy grants her the ability to regenerate and heal, but this happens at an extremely slow rate. It would take her roughly about a mês to grow an arm back; perhaps even just a tad bit longer due to the fact that her Dark Energy is somewhat weak.

~Using her Dark Energy, she has the ability to phase through walls and other objects. She has some experience with this ability, but she tries to be careful when she uses it as she afraid that she’s going to be seen while doing it. She also tries to be careful so she doesn’t accidently ghost too much and go through the ground or walkway that she might happen to be standing on at the time. This ability is usually only used when she has to step through a mural or something such as that to hide from someone or to avoid being seen. She has some experience with it, though it’s not perfect.

~Using her Dark Energy along with a combination of the vibrations that her body generates, she can phase herself to the point of being a ghost and she can make herself impervious to harm. However, due to the fact that her dark powers are somewhat weak, this is difficult for her to pull off and it consumes mais of her energy to be able to do. She has used this a few times, but she has little experience doing this, plus it’s just difficult for her to use.


Mind Energy

~Due to being a Vibra Banshee, she has almost non-existent mind powers. Because of this, it is extremely hard for her to use a mind power and keep it working. She has heard that Banshees have the mind powers of leitura and controlling minds, using and creating mind energy constructs, and levitating and controlling things with their minds. She has tried to do these things before in an attempt to see if she could get her mind powers to work, but she’s discovered that it is very hard to do. She believes that one time she was able to hear a single small thought from someone while trying to use these mind powers, but even then it took an incredible amount of focus and concentration, and the thought seemed to disappear almost as quickly as it came to her. At another moment, she believed she got an empty can to mover even just a few inches through trying to use her mind powers, though that has been the only time, plus she’s not sure if she actually moved it or if the wind moved it a bit. These have been the only two times that she has been able to get her mind powers to work, therefor she has little to no experience with them.


Other Banshee Abilities

~As a Banshee, she has the ability to fly. She uses her Wituls to help her keep balance while she is flying. She has some experience with flying, though she hasn’t done it just a whole lot.

~As a Banshee, she has metal bones in her body which act as a kind of shell to protect her inside her body. Her ears will also close up when she is in danger, leaving only her eyes and mouth unprotected.

~As a Banshee, she has Wituls; two on the back of her head, and one on each knee and elbow. She knows how to harden her Wituls and grow them out to a longer size; she also knows how to use them in a fight as a weapon. Her father taught her a few ways to use her Wituls in a battle just in case she ever needed to defend herself. However, she prefers to use her sound powers to fight at a distance instead of charging straight ahead and using her Wituls. She will, however, use her Wituls if whoever she’s fighting gets close enough for hand to hand combat as she believes it’s mais practical to just go ahead and use the Wituls instead of trying to shoot them with sound energy at close range. She’ll use her sound powers to knock someone back if she needs a quick breather, however.


Backstory

Zania was born to two happy Vibra Banshee parents who lived and hid in a closed down apartment building that could be accessed via a hidden doorway in a dark and small alleyway. For most of her life, her parents tried to shelter her away from all of the stories of the Refine and all of the stories of Banshees being killed and hunted; however, she caught onto these stories fairly quickly and knew about them for quite some time even though her parents tried to shelter her. She had heard the stories before when she had been outside with her parents and they scared her mais than anything else when she was younger; she would often have dreams about the Refine and uncontrollably imagine the horrors and what happened to the Banshees during the day. This led to her fearing to venture outside and fearing to be away from her parents in her younger age; it also led to a fear of hearing about the Refine and a fear of hearing the name that Banshees were called: “Hellborn”. To this day, she still has an uncomfortable feeling when she hears about the Refine or hears the name, which causes her to try to walk away or avoid hearing the talk any further in any way that she possibly can.

While she was young, her dad tried his best to teach her how to use her basic sound powers just in case she would ever need them; he also tried to teach her how to muffle sound so she could keep herself silent if she ever needed to be quiet or sneak around someone who was searching for her or Banshees in general; for this same reason, he also tried to show her how to phase through objects to hide, but it took her a while longer until she was able to get her body to phase long enough to pass through objects. She decided that it was usually easier to just block out the sound she makes and hide that way instead, though she did keep the phasing in mind as she grew older. Her father also taught her how to use her Wituls as a mean of defending herself if she ever had to engage in close combat. Her mother was usually not exactly very happy to see her being taught how to attack people, but she understood her husband’s reasoning that she might need to know those skills to defend herself from the people who seek to attack and destroy Banshees. Her father was also admittedly not too excited about teaching his daughter about violence and fighting, but his reasoning told him that it would be best if she at least knew the basics of how to work her powers.

Her parents tried to raise her to think positive thoughts. They didn’t want her to grow up harboring intense hatred for everyone and the world as they were afraid that it would only hurt her in the end and she would grow into a very amargo, amarga individual. Whenever she heard about the Refine or whenever she heard bad things about the Banshee, her parents tried to reassure her that it was okay and they tried to prevent her from hearing any mais on the subject. Her parents always tried to smile around her and they always tried to get her to smile whenever possible, which lead her to being a bit of a cheery individual in her younger years. Her parents also tried their best to teach her how be patient and how to walk away from others without insulting them back and making the situation worse. At her current age, she usually does try to stay calm and just walk away from arguments and insults instead of trying to argue back and fuel the fire. Her parents did manage to raise her to where she tries to think positive thoughts about people, though she does find it quite hard from time to time considering all the hate that she and the Banshee species as a whole are met with. She has also grown to where she usually keeps her opinions to herself. At first she only kept her opinions to herself because she didn’t want to start arguments with people or fuel any arguments, but due to the habit of keeping quiet and not saying any opinions, it’s become a bit of a habit to keep quiet on opinions in general.

While she was younger, because she had gotten a fear of being outside and away from her parents after hearing about everything that a lot of people would do if they saw a Banshee, she rarely went outside, if ever. Because of this, at a young age, she rarely knew anything about the outside world other than the stories of the Refine and the attacking of Banshees. This led to her fascination in the stories that her mother and father would tell her about nature; she was not fond of hearing about what people did, but she would always look progressivo, para a frente to hearing their stories about the sun, the sky, the clouds, the flowers, and so on. She would often ask her parents any moment she got what everything looked like over and over again; her parents usually found it a bit tiring to constantly explain what the outside world looked like to their daughter, but they always loved to watch as her eyes would light up with excitement and they would amor to watch as a large smile would grow on her face. Out of all of the things of nature that her parents would explain to her, she always found the most fascination in the stories about the stars in the sky and the moon. Even though she was afraid of going outside, a part of her deep inside longed to view these beautiful stars and the moon that she had heard about hanging in the night sky.

Due to the fact that her parents were trying their best to raise their daughter in hiding, they did their best to teach her at início in a form of homeschool that they could teach her themselves. She proved to be fairly smart and learned the things that she was being taught quite quickly, though she’s far from being what some people would consider a “genius” who knows everything. Due to being raised in an alley on the streets, she picked up on what people call “street smarts” quite quickly as well. Now at her current age, she tries to learn mais whenever she possibly can for education. While she was taught everything that she needed to get por in life, she still believes that she needs at least a bit mais education from time to time.

When she was twelve years old, her parents wanted to actually take her outside and show her some of the things that they had been telling her about while she was young. However, at that time she was still quite scared at the idea of venturing outside for long and she was worried that something was either going to happen to her or both of her parents. In an attempt to calm her down and make her feel better about going outside, her mother decided to give Zania a colar that she had actually gotten for herself; the colar was purple and blue with a soft yellow ribbon-like string which could tie around her neck. When she asked her mother what the colar was, her mother simply told her with a smile that it was a good luck charm and that it would protect them from anything bad happening to them. Due to the fact that she was still quite young at the time, she believed what her mother had said and decided to wear it when she went out with her parents, believing that the special colar would protect them. When she stayed out with her parents and got to witness the outside world for mais than just a few minutes, she found herself mesmerized por how beautiful the sky and the scenery was; her parents could only smile when they saw how excited and amazed she was once observing the scenery. Remembering how much she wanted to hear about the stars and the moon, her parents decided to show her what the night looked like once the dia was over. Later that night, once the city had fallen silent, her parents carefully snuck themselves and their daughter out of their alleyway início and up to the rooftops of some of the buildings. Once up on the rooftops and sitting down, her parents told her to look up. Upon looking up, her eyes went wide and a large smile came on her face as she was able to see the beautiful shining stars and the large full moon that she had wanted to see so desperately ever since she had started hearing the stories about them. It was then that she decided that she loved seeing the stars and the moon mais than anything else that she had ever seen before.

Upon growing up, she learned that she didn't really believe in good luck and bad luck, and she realized that the colar didn’t actually do anything other than just make her look nice. However, because the colar was given to her por her mother, she still considers the colar special and she wears it to this day. She also still loves to go outside during the late night and view the stars and moon; her favorito time to do this is when the full moon is out. Whenever she goes to view the stars and moon, she always makes sure to try to get up to a building rooftop where she can see the stars and the moon in a closer and better view; this relaxes her mais than anything else.

She currently lives alone, but remains near to her parents for sentimental reasons.

That is the backstory of Zania.


Personality Information

Zania has grown into a respectable young woman who tries to think of others’ feelings before speaking. She tries to be friendly, though she doesn’t usually approach people all that much herself as she’s afraid that she’s going to approach someone who has something against Banshees. Due to this fact, she usually waits for other people to approach her instead, or she waits until she sees that the person is nice to Banshees before approaching them herself. She usually keeps her opinions to herself out of fear of offending someone or making someone angry as it’s pretty much become a habit for her to do so and stay quiet. She still has a fear of the Refine and tries to avoid the name as much as she can and she attempts to walk away from any conversations that are centered around it; she also tries to walk away from any conversation that speaks of Banshees as “Hellborns”. She tries to keep a smile on her face and she tries to keep herself in a positive mood as much as she can, though she can find herself angry from time to time and she can find herself upset. She is quite docile, but she does try to prevent herself from being walked on or taken control of constantly.
