Username: Faith
Desired Character: Faith Lehane
Appears in Angel, Buffy, or both?: Appeared in Buffy and 6 episodes of Angel
Character description: Faith is a Slayer who makes the wrong choices in life. She is intended to be a reflection of Buffy, and what Buffy could have become were it not for her support system of friends and family. She is everything Buffy would never let herself become; although Buffy is tempted by Faith's approach to slaying, she ultimately decides not to make the same choices herself.
How to describe Faith is as "working-class" Slayer. The whole key to Faith is that she's in pain. If you took that away, she would be a monster. But she's so lonely and so desperate, and all of her toughness comes out of trying to cover that. That's what real monsters are made of. No one thinks they're really a monster. Faith's main motivation is to find a family and friends; she sees treacherous Watcher Gwendolyn Post as the mother she never had, the Scooby Gang as the friends she never had, and the Mayor as the father she never had. So she's always looking for a family and always coming up short and making these horrible choices, and it drove her insane. She was missing a couple of screws to begin with. 'If you don't love me, you will fear me,' is kind of her m.o. She's not a stable girl, but a fun one. She doesn't trust herself or anyone around her.
In the roleplay, Faith is around 17 and is hanging out with the Scooby Gang, trying to find her place in a world that already has a Slayer.
Classification: Slayer
Strengths: Faith has the normal strength of a Slayer. She also has the determination that comes with the job to get what she has to do done. She has trust issues but once she has gained trust in a person, it appears that she will do anything to protect them.
Weaknesses: Faith's background is sketchy so her trust issues are skyhigh...she doesn't know who to trust or how to react around a person who wants her to trust them. She is relatively cold around people she doesn't know or trust but she warms up to a person once they have gained her trust and that will sometimes get in the way of her job as a Slayer.
Good or Evil?: For now Faith is on the side of good but eventually she will turn evil only in time to return to the side of good.
RP Sample: Smiling and entering the Bronze, Faith looked around as the music beat through her. Making her way to the bar, she ordered a drink then raised an eyebrow as she saw someone watching her from the shadows. Shaking her head, she tossed back the drink, then looked around before making her way into the shadows.
"You know..it ain't nice to stare at people from dark shadowy corners of buildings...one might think it's rude." Seeing the person slowly shift into a vampire, Faith grinned "Well, goody...and here I was thinking the evening was gonna be boring..." Reaching into her back pocket, she pulled out a stake while motioning with her hand to the vampire to come at her. Swinging her leg up and into the vampire's chest, she knocked it backward then slammed the stake into his chest. Raising an eyebrow, she grinned and flipped the stake in her hand then slid it back into her pocket "Yep....B's got nothing on me..."
RP Experience: This is my first time playing as Faith.
Custom Title: I'm not sure what to put here so whatever you choose to put will be fine with me.
How did you find us?: I play Dawn and figured I'd try for Faith.
Anything else?: Nope, nothing that I can think of at the moment.
