HISTORY:: Maia's upbringing was privileged, but also very abusive and lonely. As the daughter of Korean immigrants turned wealthy business owners, Maia was always subjected to her father's need to achieve more. Be it more money, more respect, or more attention. And when you have a beautiful daughter who seems to be able to get you what you want, why not use her?
Dong-Min escaped to America as a young boy. In the new country, he decided that he never wanted to be forced to live the sort of life he had had lived in South Korea. The best way to guarantee that? Hard work and good education. Dong-Min did everything in order to gain the best education he could while working for hours. Eventually learning enough to be accepted into an internship at a advertising company. From then on he did whatever it took to make his way to the top. Shortly after making president, the company went up for sell. Don-Min, then 26, saw his chance and took it. It seemed his status had finally changed.
Dong-Min then met Sun-Hee. And two short years later the newlyweds were granted with a daughter, Maia. Even as a baby Maia was exceptionally beautiful. It seemed as if the sun got brighter just because she entered a room. As she grew, so did her beauty. When she was four, her father needed a last minute model for a project his company was working on. Once the ad hit it seemed as if products were off the self. That was her first time being introduced to the concept "beauty sells". From then on she became a way help her father succeed. She was given the best of everything, clothes, make up, jewels. Anything to help sell her image, and make her father more money. She was also given the best education, as her father would not stand for a stupid daughter.
When she was thirteen she witnessed the chaos that was the Plus reveal. As people began to shun Pluses, Maia began to realize the was different too. It started when she had caused her father to to be extremely angry. Normally knew that to make excuses and ask for forgiveness only made things worse. It was best to be silent and wait the fury out. But as her father screamed and made numerous threats, Maia felt her own anger rising. She had never felt so angry and disappointed. Maia could no longer take it and said one simple word. "Stop." It was as if her father was made of stone. Arm raised, chest heaving, her father stood still and silent, a mask of shock and disgust on his face. As minutes flew by, Maia's anger dissipated and she began to understand what was happening. She decided to test this phenomenon. She focused on her father and uttered "Forget about this and leave.". She watched as her father's face cleared and he left the room.
As smart as she was, Maia knew right away what she was. She also knew that if anyone found out she would end up like every other Plus. She began to work in secret to find just how much she could do. Secrets can come out if you don't control them. As her powers grew she learned that she could simply whisper to someone and change their mind instantly. She also choose then and there to be herself when not around her father. Maia decided that if she had to hide from others, she would never hide from herself ever again.
Three years later her mother gave birth to Jae-Hwa. During birth there were complications and Sun-Hee died shortly after. Her devastated father left Maia to take care of young Jae-Hwa. Finally with someone to show actual love to, Maia spoilt her younger brother and treated him as her own. Now at the age 7, Maia is the only loving parent Jae-Hwa has known.
After graduating high school Maia began attending University Of Chicago. She is now working hard to be able to take over her father's business. She still models regularly and you can see her all over the world. Maia has found a way to help herself and her father's business, by using her powers to persuade any reluctant businessman. When away from the public and her father's eye, she has become a vibrant and spirited young woman.
OOC NAME:: Taylor
ROLEPLAYING EXPERIENCE:: None......I'm a newbie.
ANY NOTES::
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:: The hair-raising atmosphere of the graveyard alone was enough to frighten me, but it was the deathly aura of the headless poltergeist that finally brought the blood-curdling shriek past my lips.
My story starts the night of Halloween, my birthday. I was finally turning eighteen, and I couldn't wait. I remember thinking this was a day of possibilities, anything could happen. Now I just wish some of the things would never have. Three of my friends and I were heading to the local cemetery. I was sort of a senior dare, to spend the night among the cobwebs and tombs. It was said that the spirits of the departed could be seen wandering through the vaporous mist, their indistinct, whispering cries a constant omen. The thought of staying there was both spooky and thrilling all at once.
Stepping from the car, I instantly felt the spine-chilling shivers of fear take me as the darkness and shadows surrounded me. I felt my vision adjust to the dark before leading out group into the central area, and together we ventured deeper into the eerie graveyard, avoiding tombstones and crypts as we went. The frost sent another chill up my spine, and the fog seemed to grow denser the further in we went. I had never witnesses a paranormal act before, so the odd, ominous feeling that settled over me suddenly was mistaken for simple chills.
But I was wrong. As the graves began to shake, and ghastly apparitions began to waft from the mist around us, I knew what the supernatural feeling really was. As my friends screamed like banshees and ran for their lives, I found that I was paralyzed, unable to move even my hands to cover my eyes. They fixated themselves on the new terror that had emerged ahead of me: a carriage, drawn by a skeletal horse. It pulled to a stop mere feet from my frozen body, and the side door began to creak open.
I knew who it was that stepped from the carriage. We all did. She had been a senior, years before us, who had taken the same dare. When they found her body, propped up against the gravestones years ago, it had started this whole stupid "senior dare" sensation, and now we were paying for that stupidity. As she inched closer to me, I could smell her rotting flesh, see the blood pouring from the long gash in her neck. My body finally reacted to my desperate please, and I screamed as loud as I could, taking off at a break-neck pace through the cemetery. I could hear the apparition scream behind me, but I never stopped.
We all made it home, but we were never the same. As I write this, I can only hide like a child beneath my covers and cry as the image of her corpse keeps racing across my mind. She was with me now, haunting my every waking minute, and I knew it would never end. I'm writing this to tell you, beg you, please.
Never act on a dare.
