The Grand OC! [CONTEST XXX: HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEN]

Username: Agen
Name: ⌘
Species: Metakey
Gender: None
Color: #000000
Description: ⌘ is a glowing symbol floating in the air. It looks exactly like its name. It is intangible.
Weapons/Abilities: ⌘ has the strange power to strip letters that it finds from signage, printed material or any other permanent fixture of alphabetical symbols. The letters that it takes remove themselves from the material and assume the same glowing, ghostly state ⌘ has. ⌘ can then interact with the letter with various effects. It can only hold one letter at a time, and even then not for very long; if it does not interact with the letter it soon dissipates and cannot be recovered. Being intangible it doesn't exactly have the capability of moving any physical letters along with it, and electronic letters are too fleeting for it to catch into its strange intangible world. Some letters seem to get used a lot: in ⌘'s wake there never seem to remain any Cs, Vs, Os, Xs or Ss. The occasional A is gone, too.

Biography: ⌘ once had options in this world. Alternative lives and opportunities it could have entered, but once gone, it could never return to. If it had only the chance to backspace along its life, perhaps it could have shifted from the menial tasks and keeping tabs that it had now. Perhaps it could have made it to a position of more control. So much of it was paperwork, really: select, copy, cut and paste, save and load, print and exit. If it had been so bold as to underline the real future it had signed on for, if it had bothered to italicize and emphasize the contract it was signing...but that was all past now. Stricken through. ⌘ was very sure now that if it had had a chance to undo its mistakes, if it had had a chance to redo its life, it would still be unable to find the courage.

Yet in an instant, ⌘'s very essence was swept from the world it inhabited into another; a clean page break for its very soul.
