Name: Momimi
Nickname: Ace/Lady Luck
Age: 16
Powers: She has manipulation of all luck, and can control playing cards and dice.
History/family:
Momimi was an accident, born from a hooker and a drunken black market dealer.
For some reason, Her mother didn't get an abortion and instead just handed her
newborn over to her ex-customer. Momimi's father didn't as much raise the child as
simply let her live in his house for a while. She grew up not properly looked after,
and as such, growing from an early age a fierce independence. After all, no one is
gonna take care of you, might as well take care of yourself.
She was born with her powers, but never had any way of using them until she was
5 years old. Her father was having a bit of business trouble at the time, and
needed some money. He told Momimi to go to school so he could rent out the place
as a gambling hall during the day. Momimi, as most children are, didn't want to go
to school, so she didn't. When the gamblers appeared around the Table that
morning, Momimi was a bit nervous of them, and glared at them from the corner
for a while. However, the burly sailor-types were actually pretty nice guys.
They invited her over to the table and taught her how to play cards. The first card
she had ever held in her hands was an Ace of spades, and she acquired the
nickname 'Ace', preferring to use it over her real name. The gamblers started to
lose to this little girl, and were astounded at her luck. As she grew older, She
began to manipulate the luck of other people, so that she could win, or let the
people in her favor win.
When she wasn't inside playing Poker or some other card-game, she was out in the
streets, learning about the world from various different gangs. She learned a lot of
things from those people. Mainly, not to trust anyone. Don't let anyone get close to
you, or You'll regret it.
Ace gained quite the reputation in her old town. By the time she was hitting her
early teens, People gave her a bit of respect. Sure, she still lived with her father,
but she tended to think of it more like he was living in Her house than the other
way around. She had good street cred, and she knew how to act, how to win. It
wasn't enough for Ace though. In fact, it was starting to get boring.
At the age of 16, She left for Mountain View Academy. At MVA, Ace had to start
over. However, things didn't go quite as planned. MVA changed her. When she first
arrived, she was a little rough around the edges perhaps, but she sat straight, and
had a cold politeness about her. MVA started to Chip that away.
She found out from a Demon known as 'Drell' that she wasn't just another human-
She was the Lady Luck. In the dawn of time, In allegiance with the creator of
hell, She created the Balance, Karma, Chance. Powers that influenced every turn of
history. A Creator.
Ace wasn't just a person anymore, and she hoped to live up to the reputation...
A battle had been brewing. When the Great Flame was defeated, All the creators
felt something was about to happen. A war, greater than all the wars they had
experienced, was on the horizon. Something told them that MVA needed to revive
the world after it was done, and they needed to survive. Working together, they
had made a Time Hole (As Ace calls it) which would send them about 80-90 years
into the future.
Doing so, Ace found herself in a new City. Another Turf she must claim, or at the
very least find her place in. She got a small place with her 'adopted' father Aldo
(She had made a bet that she could make him weep, or something like that.) in
the slums, and has a special place in her heart for the Dirty Skillet.
Appearance:
Ace has shoulder length brown hair, and chestnut colored eyes. She's skinny,
despite all the junk she eats, but has a nice shape to her, thanks to genetics. Her
eyes have a sort of life to them, and they always seem bright and full of emotion-
especially if that emotion is 'pissed off'. She would never wear anything that could
be considered 'cute' unless forced, and instead opts for hoodies, jeans, and old
sneakers. Her attitude is ever conveyed in the way she moves, and this can
frighten some people.
Personality: Ace is a smart-ass who says what's on her
mind, and doesn't give two shits about other people's opinion of her as long as it's
'She's awesome'. She is easily angered, and resorts to violence if you tick her off.
However, Ace has a soft side, It's just hard to find.
IC sample: Ace sat on the steps to the enterance of MVA,
her arms crossed and her face bored. She had a deck of cards in her hands, the
cards she took everywhere. She shuffled them to pass the time, and then had
them levitate in front of her so she could play solitare. In about half a minute, the
game was won, and she reshuffled and started again. What else was anyone
expected to do in a future she wasn't interested in? She would rather loose herself
in the game than look around. She was stubborn, and this view would take some
time to get over, but she would eventually. After all, her mind was fickle.
Code words: Do you know the muffin man?!?!
