Name: Sitri Slyker
Alias: Night Shift (sometimes). Unlike much of the meta-community, Sitri is generally publicly known by her real name. She's done a few things as Night Shift in the past, and may again in the future, but for the most part she uses her name.
Age: 24
Physical description (base): A young woman, with dark blonde hair and eyes of blue-and-amber, constantly shifting, always unseeing.
History:
She grew up in a trailer park in Northern Michigan with her mother, who she doesn't talk about much. Sitri doesn't really get along much with her mother - though her mother isn't abusive or unkind, she's very overprotective and Sitri finds her stifling, which is why when she graduated high school she promptly moved across the country to LA in a '99 Ford pickup with nothing but a hunting rifle and a few changes of clothes.
She started working as a waitress, and was doing so for about 4 years until she met Luna Hawk, who offered Sitri a job at Moon Bird Studios as security personnel. Sitri accepted the opportunity and was working there when Moon Bird was attacked by a masked crusader (@autarchist), and Sitri was injured and blinded while trying to defend the studio.
Since then, she's been training diligently to regain a measure of self-sufficiency, using both her regular senses and learning to use the special senses her demon half gives her, the most notable of which is a sense of empathy. Sitri is able to use her empathic sense both to interpret locations of people she's talking to and also as an almost precognitive sense, by interpreting what actions are most likely to follow the emotions she senses.
Sitri doesn't think much of stable relationships, but is sort of seeing a guy (@anonym). She's pretty sure seeing him is a big mistake, but she's still doing it.
It might just be possible that Sitri has some commitment issues.
In terms of actual commitment, Sitri works for @lunahawk, and is fully loyal to her. This actually gives her some measure of protection, as Sitri's loyalty, once given, cannot be swayed. She can't be made to be loyal to anyone else by any means (mental coercion or otherwise). It bears noting that Sitri is far more loyal to Luna Hawk than she is to herself.
After some difficulty with the demon @vandal_king, Sitri decided she needed to take some time off and actually gain control of her abilities and herself. She'd begun a quest to figure out who and what she was, and while the answers were coming, they weren't coming fast enough to stop the disaster looming overhead. Despite her unease with them, she went to the Unity group and asked for help, which was provided in the questionable presence of @timesiphon, who removed Sitri from the situation (as well as Earth and Time) for long enough for Sitri to get her things straightened out.
She has now returned to the present timeline, in control of herself and of all of her abilities.
Lore: Inspired by a Prince of Hell.
Abilities
| Abilities: Meta |
|---|
| Empathy (Receptive): Sitri’s intrinsic meta-ability is empathy - the ability to sense the emotions of others. This is not thought-reading or mind-reading, she is not able to paint a clear picture of what others are thinking based on emotional state. With practice, she has learned to determine which emotional states most frequently accompany attack, and consequently is able to have a miniscule amount of forewarning. |
| Empathy (Projective): While she has shown in a controlled situation that she is also able to use projective empathy to influence the emotions of others, she feels that this is inherently wrong. |
| Abilities: Daughter of Enoch (Nephilim) |
|---|
| Flawless: Due to the genetic influence of the heavenly host, her appearance is attractive and flawless. This is why her hair always looks awesome. Sitri thinks this is kind of a useless ability. |
| Healing: Any wound she takes will eventually heal completely and fully, without leaving any lasting damage or scarring. It should be noted that this is not the same as a healing factor - injuries still take time to heal, it is just that when they do heal, they will do so without any permanent damage. |
| Flight: Sitri's Nephilim form is capable of flight. It has wings, which start out as invisible. The more she shifts into her Nephilim aspect, the more visible the wings become. Sitri hates flying, and doesn't do it much. |
| Naming: By inheritance from her father Shemhazai, Sitri’s main Nephilim powers are attributed to the power of Name. She has the ability to name things: to figure out their true nature based on name, but also to determine their true nature based on name - meaning at her peak, Sitri can change what something is by renaming it. The only thing Sitri has actually managed to Name so far, though, is herself. |
| Abilities: Demonic Namesake |
|---|
| Absorb Negativity: As a demon, she is fueled by negative influences, and indeed the more negative influences she absorbs, the more powerful she is able to become. Since she’s not able to feed off of positive feelings, Sitri isn’t willing to do the things she would have to do to become a top tier player in this aspect. |
| Form Shift: The demon Sitri (also Sytry, Bhitru) was sometimes depicted as a leopard, sometimes depicted as a winged human, and sometimes depicted as a winged leopard. Sitri is able to assume any of those forms at will. She tries not to. |
| Abilities: Watcher - City of Angels |
|---|
| Awareness: Sitri named the city of LA as her own, and in doing so has abilities tied to the city. She has an intrinsic vague awareness of things going on in the city, allowing her often to be in the right place at the right time. |
| Locate: Sitri is able to find specific people in her city. She needs to know who they are in order to do so, and it's much easier if it's someone she knows well. |
| Resolve: The city protects its own. While within the borders of LA, a killing attack will be nonfatal, although Sitri will still sustain serious injury. |
| Abilities: Temporal Scion |
|---|
| Time Awareness: Sitri's training with TimeSiphon Raeyn has given her a deep-seated appreciation for the flow of time, and she now has a fully developed sense of time, including an awareness of any changes to the flow of time within her area. While she is not capable of altering the flow of time, her perception of what is happening can often allow her to come up with solutions based on awareness. She's also able to follow along and mentally process any temporal adaptations without turning into a gibbering mass of confusion. |
Equipment
Shield: Charm of Enoch
A bracelet with a six-pointed star, given to Sitri by a Rabbi, she is able to channel her fallen angel heritage through it to produce a spherical shield that will deflect or nullify nearly any physical attack or attack with a perceptible physical presence, like fire or lightning. It does not block mental effects.
Sword: Watcher's Star
A shuriken picked up from her one-time nemesis Autarchist, Sitri's ability to accept the past and move beyond it has allowed her to learn to channel her abilities into a blade formed from the star. Composed of a balanced mixture of holy and unholy energy, it cuts through most natural substances, and Sitri is able to alter the balance of the blade to turn it into either a divine weapon or a demonic one.
