The child of well-to-do Chinese-American parents, Kallista Ling showed great promise both academically as well as when her Neo-Child-induced psychic abilities manifested at the age of two. Rather than fear and surprise, her parents were thrilled to have brought such a gifted child into the world.

Kallista was nurtured, and after graduating highschool at the age of 14 she was invited to join the United States Government's top secret "Psychic Unit," something she was more than happy to accept. She enjoyed her new job. It thrilled her to scan the minds of others and gather information for her superiors.

Sadly, all of this changed in 2004 when Kallista's unit was assigned to track down and assassinate one Dr. Ryan R. Ryan, MD. Once she found him, she attempted to psychically scan his mind (as a means to find a means to attack him as well as get information she could possibly use in the future), but was overwhelmed by the visions she saw...so much that she gouged out her own eyes with her bare fingers. Catching her off-guard, the Doctor attacked her, biting her and thus passing on his "Psycho-Plague" to her.

The rest of her unit managed to save her (as well as her eyes), but it was too late. Within days, the plaque made its way through her bloodstream, attaching itself to all her connective tissue in an aggressive manner, clouding her mind and amplifying her psychic abilities five times their original potential. Kallista ruthlessly murdered the other members of her unit and became an assassin for hire, aligning herself with anyone of great power as it suits her. If they fall out of her favour? She betrays (or kills) them as she sees fit and moves onto her next "target."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This was the piece I got so much positive feedback for while working on it at school...of course no one seemed to see all the mistakes I made on this piece (or the fact that she's a "blind" chick with blood running down her face). But hey, I used NO reference when I made this, so I'm happy. She is also partially-inspired by a character I made in 7th grade (who in turn was inspired by the movie Scanners), with some necessary revisions.

Oracle (formerly know as Kallista Ling) is a "Neo-Child;" the result of her mother taking the prenatal vitamin known as "Felanerol." Her powers manifest in the form of advanced psychic abilities, such as the ability to read minds, project her thoughts into the minds of others, take control of the minds of others, to use telekinesis, to levitate/fly (transvection), and to "Scan" people to the point of making their heads explode. These abilities were amplified after she was exposed to Dr. Ryan's "Psycho-Plague," but at the price of losing her sanity.

She's an opportunist, taking advantage of any opportunity she has to seize power as she sees fit. She despises Dr. Ryan (since her powers will not and will likely never work on him), but at the same time she is grateful to him for helping her realize her full potential. She still wears the now tattered remains of her old government uniform and has had her eyes grafted to her hands (since she ruined all the tissue around her eye sockets when she was psychically assaulted by Ryan) by the Neo-Child simply known as "Body-Bag."

Currently, she has aligned herself with the Anti-Christ in Israel as one of his Four Horsmen (Conquest), but is looking to align herself with Heaven...or the Thanatora...she's undecided. Maybe she'll even align with the Dwellers of the Abyss (Nibiru).

Love this design, especially the eye in the hand, it's my favourite aspect. The bandaged face though also works well, ands loving the hair. Great design all in all.

I'm allways a sucker for blue lippy YAY and Blindfolds XD

surley she should have known better than going trapsing about in a mad man's brain meats, espeacially a dangerouse one... it would be awesome if she had some sort of anti loony machine that she thought would protect her... but it's really just cats and string OH NOES
I allways imagine Ryan having a bite like a kimondo dragon, slow working nasty toxins whilst the wound festers far to quickly...tassssty

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2010-05-01 15:38:30 +0000 UTC]

You know, ARyan's bite was inspired by a kimono dragon. Her Neo-Child regenerative abilities probably sealed that wound, thus trapping the plague inside of her though.
And you KNOW Ryan wuld make an Anti-Loony machine just like that...borrowing BEO's kitties and some of BEO's costume thread. ^.^;
Truth be told, I don't think people knew the dangers of going into Ryan's psyche until Oracle tried it. ^.^;

I can see that my poem about Ryan's mind was close. Damn.

Are you keeping her bleeding with a clothes to her eyes or you have in mind to put some glasses or some artifice to hide her "freaky accident"?

Still, powerful girl. Crazy powerful girl. She seems athletic for a woman which use mostly her mind.

HotaruThodt In reply to Frobiaz [2010-05-01 04:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Heehe. Yay! Thank you!

I have no clue really. Maybe the bleeding even with her eyes covered is some side effect of the virus in her system. I'm not sure. Another of Ryan's victims, "Nurse Carla" is also missing her eyes and bleeds everywhere, but she happily gouged out her eyes after going crazy.

As for her body, she ate a more American diet and did a lot of working out as part of her government training...just in case her powers were dampened.

She's really sexy, again in some kind of a sinister way (something you're so good at!). I really like the eye on her hand and her outfit. The texture on her jacket is especially nifty

Awww, thank you, love. I'm hoping to bring out more sinister/creepy elements in my character designs in the future. I'm hoping this will make some of them stand out. I got inspired by the the grafted eyeballs from the Gerald Brom painting The Seeker.
