Walking Without a Crutch

I am going to tell you upfront: I will not blindly accept your characters like many GMs do. I will not simply give it a quick glance and say "yep, they filled everything out!" If it works, fabulous! You have my high praises. If not, that's okay too. We can work on it and make it amazing. My job is to help you create the best possible character so we can make the best possible roleplay. I will happily help you create the best possible character, and I am happy to offer suggestions if you're truly stumped. My character sheet is below:


Birth Name:


Adopted Name(s): (if applicable)


Title(s): (if applicable)


Word: Which word appeared before them, reflecting their deepest fear?


Physical Appearance: Accepted are drawings, photographs, or detailed descriptions. You may use up to three photographs/drawings (face/fullbody/outfit), but any more tends to get confusing as to which one is accurate.


Skills: What was it that set them apart from the others, what did it entail, how could it be applied, and how did they learn it?


Personality: No you may not RP it out. You should give us at least enough of a description so we know what to expect from your character and can more or less predict their feelings on things. Note that this goes beyond what they like and dislike and should delve into why they like or dislike something.


Biography: What is their claim to infamy? What is their origin story? Who are their mortal enemies, and why? Who, if any, can they count among their friends? Why? I encourage you to create histories between your characters. If you're having trouble with that, PM me and I will try and set you up with someone else.


You may have up to two characters, and you may request Arachne. EDIT: Arachne has been tentatively taken. I make no promises that she will stay claimed, but as for now, she's off-limits. I am also asking, but not mandating, that an emphasis be placed on adding male characters. This isn't a hen party people.

Bezerker form


rune__s_new_demon_form_by_redzedemo-d2ze9mo.jpg



Skills: Is possessed by One of the greater nameless Demons, Zod, and is always struggling for control with it. He constantly fails due to his weak emotional nature. He has knowledge of Magic and has partial healing abilities and buffed up strength and speed.


Personality: He is very scared of being and/or feeling empty. As such, if people reject him or keep him alone, he will sometimes throw himself into a fit, and is known to kill some people if they betray him in any way, from leaving him behind, to stranding him. If he cant kill them, he can kill others. This is because of Zod's influence on him, which s still a bit inside him, manifesting as paranoid hallucinations and voices in his head. Amazingly enough, he will take a lot of insults or abuse from his 'friends'. He always tries to fit in with people.


Biography: As a child, he was a lonely child. As a baby, he was left out on the streets, left to deal with the harshness of the weather, which would have killed him, but instead he was taken up by Winston Claire, a street performer and extreme alcoholic. When Winston was not using him for his acts, he was used to test new ones on. But Josh never seemed to care, and that was because they were 'friends'.... So years passed, and he took all of the abuse and neglect... For thier friendship....


It turned out among all of those things, Winston was in horrible debt to the government and mafia. One day, Josh woke up to the sound of gunfire and rain. Winston was dead. And Josh was alone. Again. He stole his 'friends' jacket as a memento and took off into the street as the sirens blared.


Alone he roamed the streets, in poverty. He never stayed in one place for too long, still fearing the police. He used some of the tricks he had learned to getting small change. He was nothing but a bony mess... Until he was picked up by the Wart Woman in the bitter snow.


She offered him many things. Food. Shelter. New clothes. Education. Anything he wanted, she would give to him. He was now a member of a 'family'. He was not the only one, as he slept in a room across if the hall from a girl, who he tried to socialize with sometimes. Her and the Wart Woman seemed to be on a different objective... They took separate 'classes', even though they were family. His education was… different...


Every day, he was taken into a shed, and hand marks carved all over his body. He was beaten, burned, and poisoned with strange drinks. He ended up just like before, a harshly treated and abused boy. Slowly, he was deprived of food, water, and even the comfy bedroom he had, and put in a deep, dark, isolated chamber, one with little sound or light. Sometimes he wondered what the girl was doing...


One day, the Wart Woman took him into a shed, and carved more things into his body, and while doing so, mumbling wired words... He felt his body drift in and out of consciousness, and felt a strange...feeling inside of him. Afterwards, he felt like something new was inside him...something he didn't like... He screamed in pain for days, until his throat bleed. He writhed around on the floor... and he heard a voice inside of him, screaming to be let out. He had a new friend by the name of 'Zod'...a voice in his head, telling him to kill, and the joys of doing so...His new diet changed from bread and water to flesh and blood, and he became a monster, devouring the animals and body parts that he was fed...Until he saw the girl again. He regained his sanity slowly but surely, and now works to try and control the voices, and channel Zod's energy to make new abilities and forms.


Josh was, an is Dem's moral center, following her on her path of death and destruction. He joined in the academy not because he was truly evil, but the fear of being without her, truly alone, scared him.


Without Zod, Josh felt a bit....free in a sense, that he could not go bezerk as a demon, but still felt the urges he was taught in that chamber, all that time ago....

Birth Name:
Rosette Castlebury


Nick Name(s): Dem; Demmy (only by those extremely close to her)


Adopted Name: Dementia Van Haven


Title(s): Mistress Dementia; The Reaper


Word: afraid


Physical Appearance: Dementia has captivating lavender eyes. They are very big, which causes her to appear more innocent and naïve. They behave almost like blue or hazel eyes, changing shades with what she is wearing. However, they always appear as a shade of purple and don’t range too far off lavender. Her lips are more on the thin side than the full side. She has snake bites, and usually wears simple silver balls in her piercings. Dementia has a small, button nose. Her hair is black with bright purple streaks through it. She teases it up so it looks like the stereotypical “scene” hairstyle. Often, she wears bows in it to make herself appear cutesier. As far as makeup goes, she has very dramatic eye-makeup with thick eyeliner and bold eye shadow colors. She doesn't wear much other makeup besides powder and clear Chap Stick.


Her clothing is generally either very sexy or very innocent. She likes frilly, lacy dresses and shirts. If she isn’t wearing a dress, she is either wearing a leather skirt, lace skirt, or ripped skinny jeans. She prefers dark denim. She wears a sexy, black, lace up bustier at times. Her signature shoes are big, lace up, black leather boots that go up past her knees. She generally uses her clothing choices to aid her in whatever task she is trying to accomplish.

Skills: Necromancy, shadow magic, enchanted/bacteria-coated scythe, potions.


Her shadow magic affects the mind. It can cause voices in an enemy's head, driving them mad. She can trick your body into shutting down. She is a master of mind control. She raises corpses, and then proceeds to use her shadow magic to control them, making them carry out murders or any task she seems unworthy of her time. She is skilled in making deadly potions, love potions, sleeping potions, and various other potions along those lines. If you are cut with her scythe, it sets your nerves on fire and overwhelms you with voices, forcing you to commit suicide. It's also coated with a bacteria that will eat your flesh if you happen to survive the voices in your head. The bacteria was made using black magic, so it is ineffective when her powers get stripped.


Personality: Dementia is extremely sarcastic, often to the point of being rude. She is extremely cruel because of her horrible, haunting past. Deep, deep down she feels ashamed of the fact that she has become as despicable as her parents, but she doesn’t show it. Vanity seems to be one of her characteristics, but she only feigns vanity to keep from showing her insecurities. She has almost gotten to the point where she believes she is God’s gift to the earth, but at times her insecurities manifest inside of her to a point that they're almost crippling. Dem has trust issues because of the abuse she faced. This causes her to push people away, and sometimes be meanest to those she truly cares about. She takes any betrayal very seriously, and will cut you off in no time if you do something that pisses her off. She has a temper, and her temper can literally be deadly. She loves cats, and they are about the only thing she loves. When her parents abused her, she would seek refuge with her cat and its kittens when she finally got away from the horrors her parents were inflicting upon her. Her cats helped her to remain sane. Dementia is very manipulative, and she is very alluring. She is good at playing whatever role she needs to play to get what she wants. She can wrap men around her little finger with her good looks and her charm, and she uses that to her advantage.


Biography: Dementia, originally Rosette, was abused by her parents. They sold her over and over during her childhood. They beat her, locked her in closets, made her go without food, and taunted her. They never showed her any semblance of love. Because of this, she is scarred. Instead of learning from that experience that hurting people is wrong, she let the pain fester inside of her. Now, she is a monster, too. A deep hatred built up inside of her for her parents and the other people who abused her, and she began seeking a way to protect herself.


One day as she was playing and talking with her kittens, an old woman with a hood pulled over her gray hair was using a cane to walk by. This old woman, who was dressed in dull, ratty clothing stopped, and said, “Hello, Rosette. I can help you, save you. I can give you an out.” Her eyes had a strange gleam, and appeared very intriguing to Rosette.


Rosette was extremely confused at how this woman knew her name. She had never met this old lady. She was sure of that. She eyed the old lady’s inviting blue eyes, wrinkled face, and the wart on her nose. In a very soft voice, Rosette replied, “How do you know my name…? What do you mean?”


The woman let out a loud, terrible cackle. “Follow me.”


Rosette did. Turns out, that woman was an ancient witch. Having seen what Rosette’s parents were doing to her, she decided to put a stop to it. The old witch, Octavia, took Rosette in. She gave her a new name, a new life, new powers, and new confidence. Octavia schooled Dementia in the art of necromancy, shadow magic, and basic spells. She gave her a scythe enchanted with shadow magic.


Octavia had a young boy living with her as well, but she wasn't as fond of him. She was actually quite cruel to the boy. Dementia didn't like this, and not yet being so cold, took to comforting the boy. This boy was Joshua, and they grew very close.


When she was powerful enough, Dem took her revenge on her parents. She brutally murdered them, forcing corpses to eat their flesh while they were still living while she paralyzed them with shadow magic. She took her beloved kittens with her when she left for the final time, as well as her mother's cross necklace which she wears to remind her of why it is okay to be wicked.


Dementia was already becoming disgusted with the way Octavia treated Joshua, so eventually Dementia did away with her, being much more powerful than the old witch now. Octavia made a horrible mistake bestowing upon Dementia so much power and trust.


After Dementia killed Octavia, it was just her, her cats, and Joshua. Guilt over killing Octavia after she saved her from her parents and the memories of the abuse she faced at the hands of her parents ate Dementia up inside. This lead to her turning cold and locking her emotions up inside. She couldn't handle the feelings anymore, so she dealt with them by leaving a path of death, violence, and hurt in her wake. Men called her Mistress Dementia because of her seduction tactics, but most were later killed when they upset her. She became known as the Reaper, because wherever she went death seemed to follow closely.


At some point Dementia's promiscuous behavior led to a pregnancy. She gave her son up for adoption rather than aborting him. She felt that killing him would make her like her parents, so she allowed him to live. That action caused a deep wound to her already messed up heart, which only caused the brutality and murderous behavior to get worse.


All the while Josh remained her only consistent companion. They were both utterly alone without each other, so it seemed rational that they stay together. Dementia was the more evil of the two, but she could tell Josh was different after Octavia took him away. One day he briefly mentioned a voice, and Dementia more or less connected the dots. Josh watched her turn into a monster, and give her baby up, sometimes disapprovingly, but more often unphased. He was, and is, Dementia's sole friend. However, she has countless enemies. None she cared to learn the names of, however. All the pain built up inside of her transformed her into a monsterous seductress and murderer. "Rosette" was long gone, and Dem bid her good riddance, planning to never turn back.

Could you elaborate a bit more on the skills, and perhaps explain how demonic possession works in your specific instance? Also, could you elaborate a bit more on his personality? Why he is that way, for example, does he enjoy killing, what's him, what's the demon, etc. I don't want to write him for you, just give you some ideas to discuss. I know it's unfinished, so I'm trying to guide you in the right direction. If you need more specific help like Dementia, just ask :)

How do you intend to strip her of this power to keep the playing ground level?

Dem has trust issues
How do these issues manifest?

These sentences seem contradictory- care to expand?

How? Magic, looks, guile?


Also, @Dementia, could you possibly move the pictures down to the appearance section and size restrict them?

what do you mean, 'whos him?'

Do you mean

?


If so, I mean how much of his personality is who he is as a human, who he was and will become again without the demon, and how much was the demon shaping his thoughts and desires?
 
Birth Name: Margot Dressler


Nickname: Marge, or Margie.


Adopted Name(s): N/A


Title(s): The Incendiary


Word: Normal


Physical Appearance:


Face:


<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_05/-1.png.ddc9328c3390547f50a1c368fe03ade8.png" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="51315" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_05/-1.png.ddc9328c3390547f50a1c368fe03ade8.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


Skills:


Alchemical Genius-
She's an expert at all things flame related, particularly the magical kind.


Expert Actress- Margot is a fantastic actress. Her personality is almost entirely an act (albeit one she finds fun).


Peak Physical Condition- She sticks to a strict diet, and has a rigorous training regimen to ensure good health and strength.


Personality: On the surface, most people see Margot as straight-up insane, because that's exactly how she acts. She laughs at things that shouldn't be laughed at, such as torture, destruction, and death. She has an almost fetishistic obsession with explosives, as well as being famous for her love of pain inflicted on herself and others. She has masochistic tendencies/algophilia, and thus feels pleasure from what others would find painful. These strange obsessions stem from the fact she has an incredibly high pain tolerance, as well as being (before the gem incident) in very good physical condition. Because of that, she enjoyed testing her limits, which eventually gave rise to her love of pain.


Margot is (was) actually a very lucid person and amazing actress, who enjoyed playing the part of a 'crazy'. This stemmed from her deep-rooted yearning to be different from everybody else, so she used her acting skills to act how she wanted to be perceived. She also gets very nervous when her plans don't work out.


Biography:
Margot grew up the only child of two high-class, loving parents in a large but not well known village. They saw how strange she was, and were in all honesty a little afraid by how coldly she acted towards them. But they did see how much she loved acting, so they used their money to enroll her in many classes, hoping she would mellow out. They thought this worked, but it was just Margot becoming a better actress and conforming to what they wanted.


Around the age of ten, she developed an interest in alchemy. The flammable kind. She got her hands on all the firecrackers and mythical ingrediants she could find, along with scrap metal, and began to create pyrotechnical contraptions. This took years of trial and error (during which she discovered her algophiliac tendencies). She committed her first truly villainous act when she was 15, and planted a makeshift gunpowder contraption in her town hall. It failed spectacularly, and she was labeled a criminal. She left town shortly afterwords.


In the years that have followed she has studied with people who share her interests, and become a one of the most infamous terrorists in the world. She often utilizes magic and talismans in her work. Killing, as she puts it, 'because it's something to do'.


Other: Has an interest is mysticism, and at times employed palm and tarot readers to predict her future. Usually this ended in disaster,

Almost her entire existence is too modern. This is more about magic than bombs. I can't offer you much in way of specifics because so much needs work to really fit.


 
@gogojojo331


Great! Accepted.


@Dementia


The forums explain size restrict much better than I. :)

Ah! I'm adapting her from another rp, and I thought I cleared up most of those things, sorry! I was a bit disoriented (my vision was starting to get a bit blurry at the end, I had been staring at my laptop for a bit to long. And I was thinking more along the lines of pyrotechnics that also utilized magic?

I'm trying not to write her for you, because that would be making her my own character, but pyrotechnics is by definition using technology to make fire- kinda hard to change the etymology of a word. You might be better off starting from a blanker slate, but that's just my opinion!

No, No I understand what your saying! But technology is incredibly broad, and in the case of pyrotechnics it really means artificial stuff. The word was originally coined in the early nineteenth century, but was developed by the Chinese centuries before that! I understand how the word has connotations with the more modern technology we use today, but just like the term machine, it means a lot more. Of course, I can always change her. I understand how difficult it is modding an rp with uncooperative people!
 
Birth Name: Marissa Elcrest


Adopted Name: N/A


Title: N/A


Word: submissive


Physical Appearance:
0



Powers and Skills: Is able to summon monsters from a special world, dubbed the Realm of Spirits. While there are a myriad of summons she can use, she tends to use less powerful monsters, as many of the more dangerous creatures require much more magic to use. One of her main skills is being able to identify many of the more poisonous or helpful herbs that are normally found in nature, as well as which ones are okay to consume. Such a skill helps her in potion brewing, where she collects such plants to make her brews, whether they be to heal or for some other purpose.


Personality: Marissa, in short, is a very possessive, controlling, and sometimes snooty individual. Their status among the world makes them believe that they have the right to claim certain things, such as land, cities, or other people's special possessions because of the power that she possesses. She is also very manipulative, putting on a facade of innocence and trustworthiness to trick people that don't already know who she is. She believes that her power should make her more important that others, and that she should be well know to the magic world. Lastly, she tends to be an occassional snarker, making sarcastic comments when available. However, there are her moments of sincerity, when the situation she's in is dire. She especially likes being the leader of the group, believing that she'd the most qualified to lead.


Bio: When Marissa was younger, she was a big dreamer. She always used to have her head up in the clouds, dreaming about what she would be come, with one of her main aspirations to be a witch; the kind that you see in a forest, using wands and flying on brooms. That always fascinated her, rather than being a spell casting magician. The school she attended had your regular subjects, but they weren't for her. She'd study alchemy, history, basic thaumaturgy, and other classes the rest were interested in; but nothing she was interested in. Aside from history, they bored her, and she'd find herself reading botany books, trying to remember every bit of information. She'd scour the local library at her school, or any bookstore or library that was in that area. They'd talk about what kind of plants were found in what areas, show drawn images of the substances in question, how they originated, what special conditions they needed to be in to grow, and even the effect they have upon consumption. Marissa made a habit of remembering whatever details she could.


Unable to focus in school, she'd stay home with her father, skipping school until she eventually dropped out. Her father was very lenient, understanding that this was one of her main dreams. He'd teach her what he knew, but still sought tutors out for her.Unfortunately for her, many of her peers thought that such a goal was a source of ridicule, claiming that potion brewing wasn't actual magic, and that anyone could put one and two together to make some silly antidote.


The ridicule showed towards her was from her past classmates, making fun of how she had made her discouraged, and maybe even angry. She thought that anyone could be anything they wanted if they worked hard enough, and that no goal was dumb enough. Still, the criticism piled on, discouraging her further. That only made her strive for her goals further, studying day and night in her free time become the best witch there ever was. Her goal was now inspired by ambition, rather than childish wonder. It was almost as if there was a race to become the greatest, and she had to be the leader.


Part of her interest was also inspired by her father, Julius Elcrest; an explorer, spelunker, and traveler, he searched the land for undiscovered relics and ruins, writing down all the details of what he would find in many notebooks, categorizing his finds. He was rather messy, but for Marissa, it was easy enough to find what she wanted, using his findings to gain more knowledge.


He always took her on his expeditions, but never on the ones that had a risk of danger. When she got older, however, he felt trustworthy enough to take her along with her. This one was a random cave he had discovered, but he felt a strange presence along with it, only making him more excited. He wanted to share this discovery with his daughter, seeing what he thought. He took her along, and she followed, hoping to find some other great discovery that could help her learn something new about the magic world. They delved deeper into the cave, and that feeling of something special started to grow within the both of them. However, the both of them took a bad step, falling down a faulty ledge into the unknown depths of the cave. They fell unconscious upon impact to the ground, within an inch of their lives.


Marissa was the first to wake up out of the two, groaning as the impact of such a fall had damaged her. It wasn't too much of a drop to kill them, but enough to give her severe damage. He slowly got up to her feet, holding her head in pain. Her vision was blurry, and all she could see was a bright shade of bronze.. or was it gold? That question was soon answered as her sight cleared up, revealing what looked to be a giant library. Lost annals of magical history and knowledge seemed to be left here for ages, created by this ancient civilization, only to be unearthed by her unconscious father and her. Straggling over to what was a shelf filled with various parchments and books, withered with age, they told of beasts; a world of beasts. This civilization's knowledge were in a strange language, but showed that looked like the ancient monsters found in magical lore; either these people were brave enough to examine the creature up close in their time, or they found some way to come into contact with these old creatures.. with the help of his father, she could probably decipher these notes, if possible. She doubted it, but it was worth a try. This filled her with a sense of joy, and even greed. She could use this to her advantage, to gain an upper hand on those who made fun of her. She'd gain the upper hand on them.


(this is only a rough draft, [well, mostly the bio is] and I already feel like there's some stuff in that bio that I really have to improve.. feedback would be appreciated, if possible! I'm actually worried it's really bad..)

Both WIP

Name


Laura(lao-rha) De'Louse



Adopted Names


Invidia



Arachne



Title


Marionette



Word


Puppet



Appearance


spiderwebs.jpg



Skills


Personality


Laura's outer facade is what one would expect from a villainous-like character such as herself. She acts like everything's hers, like she's the most powerful there is, and that power is something only she's deserving of. She actually believes she's powerful to a point, but in the end nobody knows how she really feels, and sometimes Laura herself doesn't even know how she feels. She's envious of those with actual power, the power to mold the ways of the world to their liking and choose the fate of whoever they wish. She's really just a scared girl who wishes for nothing more than the power to choose her own fate; afraid that if she doesn't hold on to that power, she'll become the puppet of the world she once was.



Biography


Laura was born to a family of emptiness. Her mother's only purpose in life was giving birth to her, dying as soon as the child was born and named. Her father was cursed by the spiders, caught in an eternal web of misfortune. Laura, the child of this man trapped in the web, was caught in the web from the start. Her and her father were almost like a marionettes, only there for the enjoyment of those they could not see. Their suffering was all for the fun of those spiders who had lined them with their strings, and Laura hated it.



When Laura became fourteen, that's when misfortune became death. Her father fell to the poison of poverty, and she'd become the center of their sick show. Before her father's death though, she had been prepared for the death to happen, as her father had confronted her the previous night. Her father had given her something of her mother's; her mother's soul, her mother's power. Laura had been told why her mother died, and what her mother was before death. Her mother had been immortal, but had let her immortality and power escape into liquid form through her blood. Laura had been given that blood-mixed elixir, and had taken on her mother's life for her.

Skills


Tsubaki's known as the world's number one when it came to sword fighting. Her speed is impossible to match when it comes to drawing a blade, able to go fast enough that her blade breaks the sound barrier before even leaving the sheath. Alongside speed, Tsubaki has the abilities of teleportation, as well as the power to control wind. With her teleportation powers she could teleport a hundred times in half a second, and her wind control was enough that she could envelop the whole planet in a tornado if she so wished.



For aesthetics, Tsubak would usually let some leaves of a sakura tree float around herself after blowing them from a separate part of the world at invisible speeds up until nearby. It wasn't for her own benefit though, but rather for an everlasting image that all would recognize her from as the queen who rules them, in order to fulfill her own task as queen.



Personality


Tsubaki's a caring person. She doesn't care about herself or anything, but rather about the people around her. She's willing to throw everything away for the safety and peace of her kingdom, even if it means her own death immediate. Her heart and soul are devoted to her people and the kingdom. She finds her powers as an angel both a curse and a gift, one where it makes her suffer in order to bring about happiness to others.



Biography


Tsubaki was born straight into royalty. Princess to a large kingdom, her entire life seemed almost given to her in the eyes of others. To her though, the only things she got was what she gave herself; knowledge of the kingdom, and knowledge of people. She was never one to stay in the castle, though it pissed her parents off for what danger she could possibly be in from going outside she didn't stop. She did make up for it with her constant studying of the kingdom she would soon rule though, and that left them without much ability to complain due to what her purpose in leaving the castle being to get good abilities in speaking to the people.



Upon turning fifteen, Tsubaki was thrown into early rule of her kingdom. Tsubaki didn't mind the trust, though she did wonder why for a long while. The answer became clear to her soon enough though, when she found her parents performing a ritual to enter the boundaries of heaven. Tsubaki knew she had to stop them, in which case she did with a blade. The ritual had completed regardless, so she had to pay the price for her parent's actions through taking on the tasks of god. She was subjected to becoming an angel, her task to forever keep peace for her kingdom, even if it meant herself becoming but a shadow that looms over them to give a common enemy.

Well guys, my post showed up twice, and when I deleted one, they both got deleted.


In general, I asked @themediocregatsby to clarify and perhaps consider relabeling it to fire alchemy. Also, a costume change might fit- unless you want her to look out of place.


@Kiyoko Tomoe


I can't say anything too specific because I know they're WIP, but so far they seem acceptable.


@Lime Kid

@gogojojo331[/URL]'s character may be). I would like to know if her identification powers will be stripped as well or if she will retain those- because although they're nothing too special, perhaps they could be dulled down a tad after the event.


You are on the right track!


A general comment to everyone-- a preference, but not a mandate, for male characters is at hand. I have a female WIP for this thread, but I will be posting her last.

I can change it to fire alchemy! Is it okay if she had more of a knowledge of it, rather than 'fire powers'? Also, what do you mean by clarify?
 
@themediocregatsby


Whatever you think works best for her, but remember, these powers must be ones she can be stripped of. Perhaps all her knowledge lies in a book that gets destroyed? And I meant just clarify the powers, what they are, what they entail, etc.


Also, guys, I really hope you read what I say to everyone else, because it might give you some sort of idea on how to better improve your own character! That's why I do it this publicly, and ask that these comments get deleted once we all underway.

I was just picturing her getting stripped of her knowledge, as well as her acting ability, because without that she's just a normal person with a really weird fetish. Also, I can change her into a guy if you want, because it does look like we need more male characters!
 
@themediocregatsby


If you think that would still remain true to your creative vision, go right on ahead!
 
Birth Name: Lilith Murdock


Adopted Name(s):
Lili (she hates it unless it's spoken by someone she really cares about)


Title(s):
Demoness


Word:
Alone


Physical Appearance:
images



Skills:
She is an amazing dancer, to be specific, ballerina, and enjoys the more dramatic, dark ballerina dances. She occasionally held concerts, only to have those who left early or didn't pay the full amount for a ticket, brutally murdered.


She also enjoyed leading men on, and occasionally women, and subsequently drained their blood. She always took joy out of others suffering, and has had a strange obsession with blood ever since her brother's death.


She was also very skilled with knives, preferably throwing them from her knuckles with pin-point accuracy, so fast that you could barely see her move. Although she considers herself intelligent, she is as knowledgable as the Average Joe.


She also enjoyed incantations and spells, and was very affluent before her powers were stripped, because most of her spells increased her power (meaning they made her stronger, smarter, faster, and also gave her temporary elemental or mind control abilities).


Personality:
She is headstrong and stubborn, and usually doesn't listen to anyones opinion besides her own, or close friends. But she'd never had many of those. She is also spoiled and vain, but when you slowly reveal what's beneath her narcissistic attitude, you can find someone who actually relates to people, and becomes much kinder and more considerate. (Only reveals this side of herself after her powers are stripped, since they were a part of how corrupted she became.) She enjoys the obvious indulgences such as comfort, food and power. Her obsession with power began with her family, and ended with her powers becoming stripped. To be specific, she enjoys sweets, silk covers, and always having the last word/being the smartest and most interesting person in the room. She despises people who act like a goody-two shoes, such as someone who always tries to be the hero in a situation. The reason being, secretly, she wants to be the hero in every situation, but contradicts herself by becoming vicious and evil towards everyone she meets. She does this to compensate, and to convince herself that if she really tried, she could be a hero.


Biography:
Most of Lilith's anger and frustration that turned deadly began when she was just a child. Her family was loving and caring, nurturing Lilith with their whole being. When Lilith turned 6, she had a new baby brother, adorable and whom looked just like her. Their family grew even more affectionate after having two children, and Lilith could never be happier. Her father was a baker, and had to frequently buy supplies at a nearby grocer. So, when she turned 12 and her brother was 6, her father decided it was time to teach them the family trade. When Lilith was walking to her father's bakery with her brother one day, a bandit stopped them on the way. He immediately searched them for belongings, and finding nothing of value, took out a knife, and slit her 6 year old brother's throat. Lilith was sprayed with her beloved brother's blood, and to this day, remembers the taste. She vaguely remembers what happened next, only that she somehow was able to take the knife from him, and gut him, to then drag his lifeless body into the woods, and bring his guts and blood using her pack she was bringing with her, to her father, thinking it will impress him. Her parents were terrified of her from then on, and sent her to an asylum to live. Lilith has a strange fascination with blood, and doesn't enjoy drinking it for any purpose whatsoever, simply for her own enjoyment. She sometimes believes however, that she is honoring her brother, giving him an excuse to move on in the afterlife, and to forget about the family he lost. (Weird I know lol just thinking about things as I type xD ) Through her cloud of insanity however she was able to take dancing lessons that the asylum nuns allowed her, and they agreed it was for her good since they seemed to calm her. Eventually she was released, when she was about 17, and it's only been about 3 years since then. Within these three years, she earned the title "Demoness" by leaving a trail of drained bodies wherever she went. Typically, she would keep these people's blood in jars, and write a note to stick onto them, describing them in life to accentuate how worthless they are in death. People would try to arrest her, and lock her away in an asylum or worse, but every time they were killed. Eventually they stopped attempting, and left her on her murderous rampages across the globe. Lilith still encountered a bounty hunter here and there, but considered them to be pests, nothing more than a fly come to bite her, and would kill them with a wave of her hand. (Not literally xD , but almost)
