WIP [center][u]Name[/u][/center] [center]Magnum Xea[/center] [center][u]Type[/u][/center] Haunter, a pariah breed of human/demon hybrid; an apex predator of all demon kind that is absolutely consumed by its own adore for the spiritual and quasi-spiritual essences of the folk native to the Outer Planes. [center][u]Appearance[/u][/center] [center][img=http://i.imgur.com/TXqng.png][/center] [center][u]Personality and Drive[/u][/center] Centuries of consuming tainted life energies has effectively warped the neurological composition of Xea's once-mortal mind, imbuing her with a savage, maddening hunger for the quintessences of demonic stock that grows with each Outer Plane denizen that she discretely summons, skillfully ensnares and voraciously devours with a predatory intensity. Her addiction to the taste of Outer Planes spirits has morphed Xea into an individual that can be exceptionally difficult to trust, with most of her actions, malevolent or benevolent, being entirely geared towards the procurement of more sustenance and power, with Xea flagging other beings—even Demon Lords and the handful of Champions of the Mortal Plane—as nothing more than substandard pawns destined to be used in her diabolical schemes and intrinsic quest for greater and greater amounts of nourishment. Xea is not fond of offering others her loyalty or swearing commitments to those that she does not respect (or likes) and exhibits behavioral patterns that are habitually associated with self-centered persons laced with the stench of perpetual desperation and self-destructive motives. [center][u]Abilities[/u][/center] Much of Xea's arcane power stems from--and is concerned with--two mysterious fundamental forces of existence. The first is canonically referred to as [i]Anchor[/i], an invisible field of ether-like energy that binds most material and immaterial items together, giving them shape, substance and strength. The second, Burden, is emitted and perpetually generated by most objects, infusing them with weight and a tangible universal presence. The intrinsic functions and origins of Anchor and Burden are not entirely understood or known by Xea, though both have enabled her to execute a profound degree of dominion over her body and over corporal (and incorporeal) things that are within range of her otherworldly reach. This magical craft has been christened [i]Rifting[/i] by Xea. For obscured reasons, beings that harbor sapience display hardened resistance to Xea's attempts at manipulating their personal bodies, with said resistance manifesting in the form of an all-encompassing field of invisible soul-like energy that bends and contorts around its host. This retardant barrier has proven wholly impossible to circumvent, overpower or annihilate at strong ranges, although Xea making direct physical contact with her enemies and would-be aggressors by conducting assorted grapples, punches, head-butts, kicks, and even mere flicks seemingly nullifies it to an extreme echelon.  When engaging Anchor, Xea can compel organic and non-organic material alike to incorrectly register within existence itself, stimulating them to explosively fall apart at the atomic level or take on stronger atomic bonds (which amplifies the durability of the object currently under Xea's influence), while Burden can be used to elevate (or decrease) the weight of objects (with the depressed or augmented weight condition slowly ebbing as time passes). The applications credited to Burden and Anchor are quite extensive but not infinite, for they are restricted not by the extent of Xea's imagination, but by the inner-workings of the mutual forces of Anchor and Burden themselves. Protective aegises of crushing gravitational force, self-induced levitation, weakening matter, or increasing her own mass and durability are some of the miraculous things Rifting can achieve. [b]Active[/b] Hysterical Vigor: Xea's natural physical attributes, enhanced by paranormal influence and active Burden and Anchor exploitation, are far beyond those of a normal human. Hound: Gravitational distortions, the pangs of faint molecular vibrations and the putrid sent of demonic energies are all apparent to Xea. Her more mundane perceptions of sight, taste and hearing are keen as well. Vengeful Recoil: Thousands of years spent refuting mental invasion attempts from hundreds of demons have hardened Xea's psyche. Violent and nonviolent attempts on Xea's mind are not only quashed, but are also reflected back at the attacker with an accompanying tang of harm about them.
