She has a clean, delicate face that holds few to no blemishes; with the exception of the jewellery that she decorates her lip and ears with. Around her neck, wrist and waist are a few bands and bangles that compliment her unique style, while the tattoos on her arms reinforce the rebellious nature that she presents. Willow's choice of [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ef/8c/a7/ef8ca76e6d07237a331500a3ca9972ab.jpg]clothes[/url] are just as stylish with a decorative, light-grey tank top and a set of black, half torn jeans; along with her knee high biker boots that help to add the final touches to this grungy design image.[/color][/indent][/indent] [color=C23B22][sub][u][b] B I O G R A P H Y [/b][/u][/sub][/color] [indent][indent][color=CCCCCC]For most of Willow's life she was someone who never fully fit in within the crowd, she didn't have much in the way of good friends, and unfortunately she was someone who was continually drawn into the darker underground life of petty crime; a sorry affair for someone who was as talented and clever as she was. This toxic lifestyle eventually took its hold when she landed herself in prison with a well earned sentence for several acts of crime. For Willow the life behind the bars was pretty much what she expected. Gangs, violence, and an overpowering authority that held little respect for the inmates. After several long months she received a transfer to a different section, not knowing what was awaiting her. The facility that she had landed herself in was run by a group of blacklisted scientist, ones who were working on Demon DNA and experimenting with human trials. Willow was desperate to avoid this fate. She was forced to witness, from within a coffin torture cage, the moment that their patient died on the operation table only to suddenly reawaken as a Murrian Zombie. She watched as the scientist carved up its live body, pulling out organs just to see how long it's extended life would last. She screamed as they bought the hanging cage over to the creature and lowered her to it's reach, allowing her arm to be within biting distance. In those moments she could feel time slow down as the shadows around the room shifted. The [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/9e/8e/71/9e8e71b036ca85974738338910ddcb05.jpg]creature[/url] lurched out from the darkness, striding towards her speaking a tongue that was of old scripture. Willow could only understand some of the foreign word, but there was no mistake that this shade was offering a deal for her freedom. Willow accepted the deal not knowing what the consequences would be, not knowing the impact that it would have on her life, but knowing that it had the opportunity to be more desirable than become a human lunch meal. Her new found powers allowed her to escape by fighting her way to freedom, but ever since that day she has been migrating from town to town in a bloodthirsty attempt to survive.[/color][/indent][/indent] [color=C23B22][sub][u][b] S K I L L S / T R A I T S [/b][/u][/sub][/color] [indent][indent][b]⟡ Curse of Bloodlust[/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]Willow has the unique ability to build both rage and strength the more that she endures any physical punishment, and the longer she continues to bleed. It can be regarded as a rather dangerous ability as her natural thought process will slowly become more and more like a Murrian to the point where she will disregard her own safety in order to make a kill. Willow's Bloodlust can resolve itself in several different ways but the three most common is when she passes out due to blood loss, feeds on a fresh victim in order to quell the hunger, or after an extended amount of time when her body naturally tires.[/color][/indent] [b]⟡ Acidic Blood[/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]Willow has blood that is considered caustic due to it's ability to eat through some metals and how it can cause severe chemical burns on human skin. Oddly enough this acidic blood has little impact on anything not made of metal or considered human skin.[/color][/indent] [b]⟡ From the Shadows[/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]The shadows around Willow are her ally. As long as there is a shadow she is able to both draw her machete, Volgaen, and summon shards of hardened matter known as Black Crystals. These shards appear like black icicles, exploding from the darkness as if the shadows themselves are stretching out into the physical world.[/color][/indent] [b]⟡ Accelerated Regeneration[/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]Willow's body is able to focus it's attention on the injuries that she sustains, allowing her to heal wounds at a faster than normal rate. Cuts will take several hours to heal while broken bones can take a few days. During this time she has to feed more than usual in order to keep up with the energy needed in order to heal these wounds.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [color=C23B22][sub][u][b] W E A P O N S [/b][/u][/sub][/color] [indent][indent][b]⟡ [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/29/19/77/291977dbfdaae30386abe26aaefcde4d.jpg]Volgaen the Flesh Tearer[/url][/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]This demonic machete can be summoned from the shadows by the one that it views as it's master. By drawing this weapon Willow can focus her inner energy into the blade, allowing her strength and movements to be increased to a level that is considered beyond normal. This weapon has an additional benefit that when it is coated by Willow's own blood, it will take on the same acidic properties meaning that each cut will burn into it's victim's skin. This weapon is also the reason why Willow has control over the shadows, meaning that if it was to stop viewing her as it's master she would not be able to summon it, nor the Black Crystals.[/color][/indent] [b]⟡ [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/93/bb/7d/93bb7dd81e2b4e34bdedb89d1df32152.jpg]Black Crystals[/url][/b] [indent][color=CCCCCC]These Black Crystals are built of solid matter considering they erupt from the darkness of any shadows around Willow's body. They tend to have a length of just over a meter and usually form in a tightly joined cluster. While these Crystals are considered sharp and have an edge that can pierce through thin sheets of metal, they are also fragile and will shatter with any forceful impact. Willow is unable to successfully materialise these black gems on a regular basis and has only ever seen them appear during times of extreme stress.[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
