If that is what you truly wish... [hider=Cian WIP] [center][color=#ff0000][h1][b]Cian[/b][/h1][/color][/center] [center][color=#ff0000][b]"Forgive me, but I'm so terribly [i]thirsty...[/i]"[/b][/color][/center] [hr][hr] [color=#ff0000][b] Name: [/b][/color]Ciannait Duanei [color=#ff0000][b] Race: [/b][/color]Dark Elf Vampire [color=#ff0000][b] Gender: [/b][/color]Female [color=#ff0000][b] Age: [/b][/color]Two centuries [color=#ff0000][b] Appearance: [/b][/color] This girl reminds you of a dangerous spider. She has almond-shaped eyes the color of blood. Her fine, straight, neck-length hair is the color of fine china, and is worn in a severe style. She is tall and has a lithe build. Her skin is a bluish-gray. She has thick eyebrows, pointed ears, and thin lips hidden by an iron half-mask covering the lower half of her face. It keeps her from feeding or talking above a whisper, and it locks in the back. Cian wears a strangely repellant metal seal as a pendant on a necklace. A hard tug on the necklace will cause it to break away, she is forbidden from removing the seal herself. Her wardrobe is a dark hooded woolen cloak, leather armor styled in some ancient pattern, and an adventurer's satchel, with pockets along its wide strap. [color=#ff0000][b] Personality: [/b][/color] Behavior/Quirks/Likes/Dislikes/Whatever [color=#ff0000][b] Background: [/b][/color] Parents/Childhood/Education/Adulthood/Livelihood/Crimes against the Kingdom/Downfall/Whatever [color=#ff0000][b] Talents: [/b][/color] [hider=Supernatural Strength] With the strength of five men, Cian is able to lift a horse, or she can punch her way through a stone wall.[/hider] [hider=Hypnotic Eyes] If she locks eyes with another, Cian can slowly pull them into a light hypnotic state, able to obey basic commands. However, if contact is lost before that state is achieved, or the subject is shaken or experiences sharp pain, the hypnosis is broken and they wake up.[/hider] [hider=Poison bite] A vampire's bite can quickly numb and paralyze their victim, leaving them helpless as the vampire feeds.[/hider] [hider=Immunity to Disease]They're unaffected by viruses or bacteria, but it can make the blood taste strange. The black plague gives blood a smoky flavor.[/hider] [Hider=Regeneration]A vampire can recover from even grave injuries. Small injuries may be completely healed in a few days, a stake in the heart a month or two. Eyes and limbs may take a couple years. It's why they do not age.[/hider] [color=#ff0000][b] Flaws: [/b][/color] [hider=Geas]A word in an ancient language was engraved into the lid of her iron coffin. On hearing that word, she must obey any command given to her. However, pronunciation is important.[/hider] [hider=Sunlight] Exposure to full sunlight, a vampire's flesh will start to smoke. After a few moments, their flesh catches fire, burning them to ash if they are unable to find shelter or a body of water. However, if a little blood was to fall on the ash, they will be revived. Some vampires keep a small vial of blood on their person for just this purpose.[/hider] [hider=Blood]While a vampire can hibernate for many years after a heavy feeding, an active vampire must feed on a pint of blood at least once a week to maintain its strength. Blood from a heavy drinker or habitual drug user will affect the vampire as well. If starved for blood, a vampire can become a wild thing, driven by its unquenchable thirst. The smell of blood can be mildly intoxicating, one has to guard their reaction around minor cuts.[/hider] [hider=Food]While a vampire can tolerate water, wine, tea, and coffee, most food tastes disgusting to them. For the unprepared, they can become violently ill.[/hider] [hider=Dairy]Lactose intolerant.[/hider] [color=#ff0000][b] Equipment: [/b][/color] [hider=Seal of the Dead God] A small medallion that resembles (yet isn't) lead, bearing the ancient mark of the Dead God. It feeds constantly on magic, or perhaps the soul? It makes the skin crawl if one gets too close. To wear one is an almost unbearable torture. There were three on Cian's iron casket. One is enough to make her as weak as a child.[/hider] [hider=Iron Casket] This heavy metal coffin has chains to keep it locked up, preventing Cian's escape and allowing her to be safely transported. A shallow bowl in the lid allows blood to drip into her mouth.[/hider] [color=#ff0000][b] Miscellaneous: [/b][/color] [hider=Stake]It's often believed that a wooden stake driven through the heart of a vampire will kill it. As they're undead, you've only pissed them off. Do you know how hard it is to find a seamstress or tailor willing to work after dark?[/hider] [hider=Mirror]Vampires can see themselves in mirrors - they just hate them. If the vampire has cast a glamor on itself to hide, their actual appearance is revealed when glanced at in a mirror. One of the forgotten reasons why mirrors are often placed in entryways.[/hider] [hider=Crusnik (Krsnik)] Some vampires believe themselves to be on the top of the food chain. They're not. A Crusnik is a type of vampire that preys on vampires.[/hider] [hider=Calling all the Monsters][youtube]https://youtu.be/bVcUaO668Dw?si=LHLHiccuYdXK2adT[/youtube][/hider] [hider=Do Bad Well][youtube]https://youtu.be/LxJsXK8R2xE?si=cYM-FTdM3ZsLPFFL[/youtube][/hider] [hider=Shatter Me][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IkgckXZPCE[/youtube][/hider] [/hider]
