Description

This club caught my eye and I immediately set to work creating a character for it!

Full Name: Jean-Marie Carter
--pronouced: j-ee-n -mar-ee car-t-err
--goes by: Jean, Jean-Marie, and occasionally Carter (her friends from school call her that)
Age & Date of Birth: 24, July 3rd
Birthplace: somewhere in France
Eye Color: Green
Height: 5' 3"
Occupation: Spiritual Engineer
Member Since: For one month (recently moved to the club)
Likes: New buildings (harder for spirits to cling to), music (calms her mind), rain
Dislikes: Animals (they precieve unnatural things better than humans and thus like to follow her and tell her of said paranormal things), winter (more spirits)
Hobbies: Travelling, building, Star-gazing, meditating
Personality: Busy is a good way to describe Jean. She often has a lot on her mind and tries in vain to keep herself sane by finding a middle ground between inventing and spirits. Because of her inherited 'gift' Jean is a bit asbent-minded. However, to counter this she talks while she works to stay on track (this habit annoys everyone, even her parents idslike it to an extent).
On the other hand she is a born adventureer and is quite brave. It could also be called stupidity, or having no self preservation. Either way, she is a willing test subject and yearns to help people with whatever task they have. Because of this Jean wants to help the poor souls trapped as spirits instead of destroying them (which she could have done, she knows how to).
Stress is probably the only thing that gets her down and when she's in a mood Jean can get even other poeple down. Her parents led amazing lives and left behind legacies and she wants to do the same. This want can lead her to extremes, and yes, adventures. (ps. I hate writing personalities so much. don't expect this to stay the same in the RPs, because it probably will change)

History: Her father, Henry Carter, was a Romantic englishman with a knack for the spiritual, and was rumored to have a connection to the 'spirit world'. He left England and travelled to France for a chance to find adventure, a peace of mind and ultimately, love. He met Anne, a scientist with enough spunk and spark to lead her fellow inventors into the electricty field with success. Immediately they hit off and settled in the french countryside. They had a daughter, Jean-Marie. She inherited both of their strengths. From her mother, the adventerous gene, a taste for danger and a knack for electricity (but not the mechaics her mother excelled at). Besides her handsome looks, the most noteable from her father was his Clairvoyance ability. Jean-Marie took it all under her belt, and sent to work making her own mark on the world.
The spiritual side came easy, as it did for her father, but the lack of physical proof just irritated the girl. By age 10 she had filled her room with drawings, mythical places high in the mountains, people wearing military clothes and strange metal creatures. The metal creatures caught her eye, and she turned from the spiritual to expand these creations. However she wasn't the best at mechanics and struggled for several years to perfect her skill. During this time frame her parents let her go to a private school that dealt with mechanics, electricity and such. She was one of the three women at the school, and they formed a little pack to expand their abilities.
Time skip. Jean is 19, and hasn't produced anything that appealed to her. Her pesty gift has gotten in her way of inventing. It had lead to out bursts in class, and ultimately the creation of a paint that does not allow spiritual beings to pass through. Finally, sick of the headaches caused by chattering spirits and failed inventions, Jean-Marie asked for a hot air balloon and traveled the Europe for two years. When she came back there was a new fire in her heart, a better understanding of why spirits are still among the living and ideas bursting in her head. In these last two years she has worked on devices to capture spiritual residue and offer the wandering spirits chance to be something other than a wanderer. (either they'll get bored and leave her alone finally, or short out her machines again). She caught The Aluminium Club's interest and a letter was sent soon after her first success.

Additional Information:
- She grew up learning English and French at the same time, and mixes the two languages together as she pleases. However she tries to keep it straight when talking to others.
-Talks while she works. She sometimes sings as well. She sings rarely but when she does it is treat to listen to instead of the babbling
- Louis is one of her first successful spirit-devices. He is a young male's spirit that has chosen to stay with Jean and lives in the spider-watch she wears.
- She has a certain fascination with pianos (recently invented if you didn't know)
