Name: Shif Ava Serefa
Gender: Female-identified
Race: Wave Projector
Color: #FFD700
Description: Serefa appears as a translucent white nightgown with no real shape and no apparent being wearing her. She possesses only one feature that separates her from any other ghostly blob of fabric: where in any other night gown you might find a human head, Serefa has an off-white megaphone-type device resting on a several-inch-long stand. This stand is attached to a frilly gold plate that might look, to the casual observer, like a collar. She generally floats about a foot and a half above the ground, rippling slightly in an unseen wind, sleeves hanging limply at her sides.
Abilities: Serefa is from a pantheon of divinities known as Wave Projectors in a universe that consists entirely of one planet. Each Wave Projector, predictably, is able to project a certain form of wave. And while other Projectors launch waves of armies or manipulate the movement of oceans, Serefa’s waves are linguistic. Shif Ava Serefa controls the small hand gestures through which intelligent beings convey greeting, as well as all of their associated ideas. The waves Serefa projects generate communication, camaraderie, or acknowledgement (i.e. of another’s existence or departure) among intelligent and semi-intelligent beings within her range. She also possesses some of the more standard abilities or her kind, such as the ability to fly at high speeds and to survive unaided in almost any environment that hasn’t been specially designed to block her out. How she would fare in the vacuum of space is unknown because the vacuum of space doesn’t exist in her home universe. Serefa’s waves can be slowed down by untarnished steel or lead paint, but can only blocked completely by three-inch-thick (no more, no less) walls of steel covered on both sides by hateful or culturally unacceptable language in red or green paint (the more eye-searing the shade, the better). Also, Serefa can generally only be seen by those who she allows to see her or by high-ranking religious officials after hours of meditation.
Biography: Shif Ava Serefa was brought into existence with her universe, as a fundamental part of its physics. Since then, Serefa has been the driving force behind every conversation and alliance ever to form in her universe of origin. She has often clashed with her sister, Glayle Ava Nâria, the projector of military waves.
Personality: Serefa, despite being as old as her entire universe, has not lost any passion in her job. She is incredibly self-righteous, and believes herself nobler and more useful to the world than all of her sisters. She is kind to every ‘lesser’ being she encounters, though the especially perceptive have deemed her “a bit condescending,” usually resulting in their excommunication. Serefa has the single largest number of churches dedicated to her out of all the Wave Projectors, and she isn’t afraid to brag about it. Her shameless flaunting of her influence is really just a mask covering up her massive inferiority complex, as she honestly feels that she was given one of the weakest powers among her kind. Yes, she has had a greater impact on the world than most of them, but she had to work harder to create that impact than any of them would have, if they’d really cared to.
