HUNTER, NEUTRAL, RUSSIAN, 22, HEADSTRONG, CUNNING, MISCHIEVOUS, HOT-HEAD, CHARMING, LOYAL, DARE DEVIL, FLIRT.[/FONT]


On a bad day, Athena is prideful, arrogant and stuck in her ways. She won't change her mind no matter how sound your argument, and at the end of the day, she's going to do exactly what she wants to do, whether you like it or not. She is hot-headed: be careful when she loses her temper - she's not as good at controlling it as she is losing it. She is a natural born leader, ready to take on the world and willing to face any challenge. There are not many things you can put in front of Athena that will scare her; the girl loves a good game. Born in Russia to a powerful and very well-known Hunter family, her job is practically in her blood.

On a good day, Athena is quite charming and diplomatic. She is very cunning - she can think her way out of any situation, trick anyone and twist her words around on you. It's hard to get one over on this girl; she's too smart for her own good. She is resourceful, magnanimous and flirtatious. Compassionate and loyal, Athena is very generous and caring to her friends. In this department, although she is guarded and does not trust easily, i'd like to believe she will be successful. Despite her sass and "do it my way" attitude, Athena is a great partner-in-crime and never fails to have a good time. She is adventurous and fearless, and can cheer up anyone on a bad day. You'll never find her going back on her word or being disloyal to someone she is close to.

However, just because she can be sweet doesn't mean the girl's an angel. This girl is no stranger to the term enemies. in fact, she relishes in the idea of it. This category will most likely be filled with the supernatural and pretentious assholes who tell her what to do. When Athena was fifteen years old she was forced to kill her parents who had both been turned into vampires - so you could say that she has a serious hatred for a certain group of blood suckers right now. She remains "Neutral" simply for her own best interest - she is a freelance hunter now, doing what she pleases because she has her own agenda. Picking a side would mean picking allies, which is an option she mistrusts. She isn't the type to kill any supernatural as soon as she spots them - but tick her off a little and you'll figure out her fuse is pretty short.

as for romance, Athena loves to love - it's in her nature. She is a total flirt and loves to go to bars to pick up guys. This girl could charm a snake if she had to - so don't expect to wile out of her charm. Always open for a new boy toy, and always open for love, this girl's just waiting for the right guy to walk in. I'm honestly even open to a supernatural boy just to spice things up. You never know which side of Athena you'll get, but you could always get lucky and catch her off guard. Athena won't just settle for anyone though - it takes a very special person so make her consider more than a month of her time.

[FADED]

Hey girly! So I have a rather large handful of brain babies so to keep things less overwhelming and drawn out I'm just gonna post here the ones I think would/could interact with Athena the most. But gonna leave you the link to my plotter as well so you can find out more about them for one and also in case you see any others you might have any ideas plottage wise. <3 PLOT PAGE

CASON & ATHENA
Ok this is one of my two hunters. Like Athena he's a take charge, doesn't put up with anyone's crap kind of guy and isn't afraid to tell you exactly what he things of you to your face. I can see them definitely butting heads because of this but at the same time Cas would also respect her for her skill and talent as a hunter too. He gives what he gets though so if she were to be more stand-offish towards him he wouldn't bother to play nice. Her refusal to change her mind and do things her way would piss him off if it put himself or someone else in danger and he can match her temper if she went off on him. I think he'd see how much potential she has as a hunter if she could learn to take some direction and hew off some of those rough edges so to speak. So I can see either a mutual friendship/respect where they help each other out occasionally on a hunt or basically a mutual dislike where respect is given but nothing else. Personally I think they'd make a pretty good team though if they did get along decently.

HOLDEN & ATHENA
And this is my other hunter who is very much a different sort altogether than Cason. Unlike a lot of hunters he doesn't think they're all evil and deserve to die. Therefore he only hunts/kills only the ones who are actively going after humans. That view isn't usually the most popular obviously but he doesn't really care what anyone else thinks of him in that regard. Athena would probably not be someone he'd care to hunt with at all simply because she's not willing to consider someone else's opinion even if it might be the right one. He admire her fearlessness and treat her with nothing but respect regardless but neither would he be afraid to stand up to her and speak his mind. He's more of the calm, controlled type when it comes to arguments, doesn't lose his cool easily at all and isn't intimidated by people who do thanks to his job as a social worker. I don't know if they'd really get along at any point but I he wouldn't hate her by any stretch of the imagination.


The rest of my kiddos are supernaturals (well one human but can't think of anything specific that would have them meeting) and obviously Athena and they do not mix but like I said if you see one that sparks your interest and want to plot with them just lemme know! <3

[SEAJAY]

Oh hai there! Welcome to Nightmare, I'm Seajay, one of your friendly neighborhood Moderators. Anyway, I'm here to plot with Athena, and since (like many of the others here), I have lots of children 18 , I'll throw the ones down here that have the most potential for starting something right away, or something that could lead to a larger story-arch in the future. Y'know, get you started. But please, feel free to check out my plotter and see if anything else sparks your interest!

JAYNE: Okay, so since she's neutral, I don't know how you plan on working her in with the other hunters in Manuka, but since war has started, many of the hunters are targeting the bigger supernatural families. Jayne here is the leader of the Astor clan, a well-known, extremely wealthy and well-connected group of faeries (there's a want ad for family members, if you're ever interested in making another character), who are very much on the dark side. He's princely, stoic, cold, and a family man, so if she EVER decided to go after his sisters or other family members, she'd have one hell of an enemy here. Jayne wouldn't hesitate to ensure that she and everyone she associated with went six feet under, and fast.

JOEY: Honestly, I think Joey could learn a lot by being friends with someone like Athena. Right now, she's dating Jamie Adrastos, who is super confident, and very much a strong personality, but my little human here is extremely nerdy and shy, although she'd love to get out there, meet more people, and build some confidence and get a good self-esteem boost. She's a talented artist, smart, and really has a lot going for her, she just doesn't see it, and could use a friend or two to help her see how awesome she is – although she'll probably just blush and think you're crazy, or be an awkward derp who thinks your girly is attractive. Also, she knows nothing about the supernatural world, so there's no threat there.

ADAM: Depending on how you feel about putting her in college, she might run into Adam (or Professor Sharpe) at the college. He's a brand new werewolf who was only turned a year ago, but teaches Ancient History and Mythology at the University of Manuka. His reason for showing up? Well, he's researching the other supernaturals that are out there, and wants to expose them to get worldwide fame, even if he's one of them, too. A hunter's perspective (since she wouldn't immediately want to kill him, I think) could be interesting. Also, he's a bit okay, a lot of a manwhore, so if she's not his student, he might sleep with her before he realizes that he's in love with his FWB, if romance strikes here.

KENNEDY: The more I rack my brain, the more I can't decide if these two would be BFF or absolutely despise each other. Kennedy's a hunter, but she thinks that supernaturals are better than humans (her brother was turned into a vampire, but she tells everyone he's dead), so she works for the dark siders while she's digging up dirt on the hunter population in town, sort of like a double agent kind of thing. Basically, she wants to give the dark siders the advantage in the war by knowing all their enemies' weaknesses, but she still hunts. Mostly light siders and neutral supers, because they're not helping her cause at all. To Athena, she might be a friend or an enemy depending on how they can handle the fact that neither one of them make any apologies for saying and doing whatever the hell they want, whenever they want to. Me? I think it'd be fun to thread them and find out.

BECKETT: He's a shapeshifter, but I'd love for him to have a girlfriend for a while, and see a potential for romance here if she's interested and they get along. See, he's been hung up on his best friend since childhood, and basically, he's stuck in the friendzone. Forever. Like, lives in her apartment, snuggles her, and watches her parade around random guys she's sleeping with, all while she remains oblivious to his feelings. Poor guy. Becks is a sweetheart, and he would love to make Mia jealous find someone who appreciates him for his heart (and he's easy on the eyes, too!) and sees something more in him than just 'the best friend' figure. Maybe we could talk about this?

[ATHENA PENELOPE STRYKER]

CASON & ATHENA i like the idea of respect and team-work with these two. Although Athena's personality may be the way it is, she's never brash or disrespectful about it, especially to a fellow hunter. I think Cason will find an excellent hunting companion in Athena. She is resourceful, wickedly smart and never misses a shot. Athena has two older brothers, so i could see her looking up to him as one just because she's home sick. Maybe he can take her under his wing and mentor her a bit as they get to know each other.

HOLDEN & ATHENA is he's the strong silent type, Athena will be intrigued by him. And if he really seems like someone she should respect, just like with Cason, she will not over-step her boundaries. (She's always pretty polite about her stubborn ways). Perhaps in a way he could be her mentor as well, although it might be of completely different context. Perhaps he can help her with a little self control and temperament problems. If they don't hit it off, we can just simply put it as a mutual-respect and call it a day.




JAYNE & ATHENA unless someone in his family came after her, i can't see Athena bothering herself too much with Faeries. Vampires and Demons tend to be her favorite kill of the day, so he wouldn't have an enemy in her until he gave her a real reason to. She would probably keep her distance from him if she were aware of his power and evil ways.... and since he doesn't like human woman there's not much use in Athena batting her eyelashes at him and trying to flirt. Unsure how to throw these two together, but Athena is a sucker for a rich bad boy.

JOEY & ATHENA i think this would be a great friendship. If joey needs someone compassionate to boost her confidence, look no further. Athena loves to take people under her wing and Joey would be no exception. I think this friendship would have a normalcy that Athena needs in her life. An escape from all the supernatural world. These two should definitely meet.

ADAM & ATHENA she would be fascinated by his little project - and she would probably try to find use for herself in it. Perhaps she can offer him a little help in finding a few people in exchange for some information? I can see them hitting it off just fine, and if she's in a good mood she'd probably allow herself a little one night fling, but to Athena, it depends on how helpful and savvy he is

BECKETT & ATHENA i love this idea simply just because nothing is written in stone. I like the idea of them romancing each other, but Beckett, always caught up on Mia, causing a few problems. After a few weeks, if Athena didn't feel like she was getting his undivided attention, would probably sit him down and set him straight. Honesty is her favorite policy, and she definitely wouldn't like being courted to make another girl jealous. Perhaps they start off great but it soon turns a little sour? She wouldn't try to break his heart or be cruel about it, because he can't help who he loves, but she might help to open his eyes a bit and progress his relationship forward with Mia?

[NOAH DALLAS TURNER]

Hello Tori! Welcome to Nightmare, and I hope you're enjoying your stay so far! Much like CJ and Faded, I have lots and lots of babies, so I shall put down the ones I can think of anything with, but here is a link to my plotter just in case you can think of anything else! I hope you like some of these, and I can't wait to thread with you!

[/b] okay, so this baby here would be literally wagging his tongue over athena. ruben is a manwhore, he loves 'em and leaves 'em, though he does have a few friends with benefits, he refuses to get tied down. which is why they would be perfect to have a little fun together. ruben can charm the pants off of anyone because when he see's something he takes it without beating around the bush. i think they would be hilarious with flirting with one another, and it's up to you if they would have anything past that, such as remaining some sort of friends and all.

zoe & athena: running on this flirting bussiness, zoe is a womaniser, and no matter if athena is straight, zoe would try and get her to have some fun with her. she'd be like; 'have you ever kissed a girl? then how do you know you won't like it?' also, i think that once this angel hears of who athena is, she might try and recruit her for the task force, the light side that is because they need skilled and intelligent people like athena on the team. there is more information about the task force here.

noah & athena: okay, so i think that noah would be a challenge to her wits. one of the most notorious people to hit manuka, noah is a faerie/immortal hybrid who kills for a living and that is the only emotion he feels. other than that, he feels nothing for no one, no empathy as he rips the skin off his victims, and i think athena would certainly take notice of something like that. maybe at first, without knowing what he was, she starts flirting with him and he's all pretending to be interested until he attacks her just because, and then he becomes on her hit list? there would definitely be some epic fighting with noah, but he is a mind reader and knows every move before athena makes it. so that could be fun.

shay & athena: shay is a doctor, he is a witch and maybe he could be the one she come to when she gets hurt as to avoid hospitals and questions. a healer of sorts, someone she can trust because he doesn't ask her what happened, just would patch her up and set her on her way again. i see them becoming good friends, even though shay is like, five or six years older.

dorian & athena: he is a vampire, and i realise that that is a a species that athena hates, but dorian is over 2000 years old and he's done everything in his power to help people. maybe she starts hunting him when he's on a mission to save someone, and then she's all attacking him but he explains what he's doing and they could become unlikely allies? he will be going after the slave trade, so she might want in on that i dunno.

victoria & athena: i need more friends for my little witch. she ddoesn't know she's a witch, she is schizophrenic after a really massive trauma, and her boyfriend is abusive and she can't escape so she needs all the friends she can get. and athena is loyal to friends, it would be nice to have some people to turn to that would understand, or try to without judging and to pull her out of the world with the voices back to reality.

ashton & athena: he is very young, but a part of a group of hunters here led by thomas who athena would have heard of. maybe she asks thomas for one of his hunters for a hunt, and ashton get's sent and she's all 'this little thing? what does he know about hunting?' and he proves himself to her, even if he doesn't want to be a hunter anymore, he still does what thomas tells him.

aleksei & athena: okay, so i know he isn't finished yet, but i still want to plot him, and if you wanna thread with him we can do it aafter my app is finished, but they're both russian. aleksei was a part of an organisation that is very close to mafia but not quite. i imagine they would have crossed paths in russia. he is way older than her, but she might be determined to bring him down, maybe try and get close to him to bring Igor and the others down too, but aleksei would realise what she was doing and play with her too. i imagine they could occasionally sleep together while playing this game of cat and mouse.

[ATHENA PENELOPE STRYKER]

RUBEN & ATHENA I think a fwb idea would work great with these two simply because neither are looking for anything deep in the other. I think they would get along well as friends and could just remain casual. Obviously they'd love playing the game with each other and seeing who can seduce who. sounds like a cute idea to me - cause if one walks away the other won't be left hurt. perfect for both, right? nothing serious.

ZOE & ATHENA Literally love the idea of Athena joining the Task Force. I want her to edge towards the light side and actually pick, eventually. Zoe could play a part in that. Athena would be great for combat, anything and everything covert or challenging. She would be perfect on the field. As for the flirting, I'm sure Zoe would be able to convince her if she managed to get a few drinks in Athena. She's not usually shy, but definitely not so when intoxicated.

NOAH & ATHENA i can see Noah being a massive frustration for Athena. She likes being the best and having a good advantage - i.e. she is a seriously sore loser. If he could read her mind and outwit her, he could pretty much play cat and mouse with her sanity. He would probably find it amusing, and that there would definitely be an enemy for Athena. After an attack she'd probably steer clear of him for a long while!

SHAY & ATHENA perfect; she can never have too many allies. if he provided her with that help, she would be very willing to repay him if he ever needed anything. He would get a very loyal ally through that, and after time they can grow closer and be friends.

DORIAN & ATHENA this could be a very interesting plot, and i love it! someone needs to get athena past her serious vampire issues. she would love to join forces with him, too - anything that involves taking down villains is her piece of cake.

VICTORIA & ATHENA (my name :3) Victoria could always find shelter in Athena - and she would be loyal and compassionate, especially if she knew all of what Victoria was going through. Perhaps Athena can help her through a little and make sure she keeps her chin up. And if she ever needed a couch to sleep on, Athena would gladly offer hers. I think this would be a good friendship.

ASHTON & ATHENA great idea, sounds like something we'll have to thread eventually!

ALEKSEI & ATHENA she would really only go after him if it suited her interests, or if he gave her good reason to. honestly, she'd probably just have a huge crush on him because he's attractive and russian. you can do with that what you want, and maybe eventually they can do the cat and mouse bit.
