[b]Name:[/b] 'Child'
[b]Age:[/b] 21
[b]Race:[/b] Childs a regular half elf in essence. But has undergone alot of small changes as part of the process in becoming a 'god blade'. 
[b]Sex:[/b] Everything points to Child being born female. But there is no record of or witnesses to said birth alive. And Child answers to either he or she. Furthermore, Child is disfigured to the point where identifying his or her gender becomes very difficult.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Tall for her race and with a body that lacks distinguishing marks, she appears very androgynous. Her face is always covered by a mask made from whitened steel. Its exquisite craftsmanship, most people don't even realize it is made of metal but assume it is porcelein. The mask like Child herself, lacks distinguising features, and strengthens the androgynous impression of Child.

[b]Homeland:[/b] The Free Holds. Born into slavery, free holds is were Child grew up.

[b]History:[/b] Child is the product of a great many things. The nature of being a slave, in that she never knew freedom or rights is one. Fantaical devotion and disregard for her own life is another.

 She was taken as a babe, her parents killed immediately after Child was born. Child was gifted with strong but very ambivalent soul, as if it had not finished molding itself. It was just what the people who bought her parents needed. Child was not given a name, nor a title. All Child knew was what they called her, A child. Thus it became her sole frame of reference. The people who bought her parents, and with that, Child; were a cult of some infamy. They were the worshipers of a entity they referred to either as the Weeping Woman or the Mourning Man. A shadowy, dual in nature being that blessed his followers with the gift of true sight, being able to see the spirits of the damned. As it were, the cult had long tried to make their own prophet, one to take the great god inside herself and speak to them. For this purpose they had disfigured children, to make them either more like a boy, or more like a girl. They wished to achieve the same duality as their god, and Child were to be their prophet. She was part of gruesome rituals, her body put trough unimaginable pain and her mind broken and molded to fit the cults needs. Her face was destroyed, her entire body one big puzzle of scars. She had no will of her own and was given a mask to hide her nature further. They believed themselves to have finally found the one.

 As things worked out however, that was not to be the case. Their 'God' was banished like the rest of them and the spirits that came were not that of the great Twin Souls they revered, but damned ones. Theylatched onto the crying child and fed of her misery and anguish. Child was just a child, not a chosen prophet, not a great conductor of the fate itself and now she was suffering a fate worse then death. One particulary nasty spirit steered the child to kill the head priestess of the cult before Child could regain control. Realizing there was nothing for her now that she had killed the very person who by all accounts had made her. Child left.

Tormented by the spirits taunting her, and without a proper sense of purpose or self, Child drifted. She wandered streets in desperation until one day, she was found by a man called Hedzer Limbrant. A gladiatorial promoter, he happened to come upon Child as the latter was fighting of two very large hounds over a piece of garbage child had intended to eat. Child, possessed by a spirit of rage, tore the very jugular of one dog with her teeth. Recognizing the Mask that by now was to small for Child and hung to her hip and what it meant, the promoter offered to help Child. And so, Child became a gladiator. Using the spirits to her advantage, while having a 'safe' environment to let the nasty ones out in force, she became quite the sight. A terrible, heartless killer of the Arena, Child had no problem with fulfilling her duty. Many were those who had their skulls caved in, their bones shattered or eyes gauged out. At one point, she had earned her freedom without realizing it. When this was made known to the agents of the Queens Blades in the area, they were quick to contact Hedzer. They spoke to Child, and ensured her they would help her get rid of her curse, if she swore to aid them with her talents. She was given a new, beautifully made mask by Hedzer as she left the Free Holds, one that she has never removed since. 

Now the enigmatic gladiator travel as a Queens Blade, and gods have mercy on the being that face her. 

[b]Motivation:[/b] Childs sole motivation in life is to ease the voices that torment her, to find peace be it at the end of a blade or by exorcising them. For this reason she is seeking mediums and spiritual masters as well as artifacts that could help her. Desperation drives her, not ambition.

[center][b]Traits & Equipment[/b][/center] 

[b]Traits[/b]

Endurance: Child has gone trough torture that would make the bravest man cry to the now banished gods for mercy. She is capable of enduring great pain as a result. Her time as gladiator has made this even more apparent and the beatings she has endured have dulled her sense of pain further. This is of course, a double edged sword, as she is less likely to pull away from a battle before taking a more severe injury.

Sharp: Child knows a lot about fighting, about spotting weaknesses in her opponent. The spirits as well as her gladiatorial mentors taught her to spot it her opponents. She'll go for the eyes. She'll smash your joints, exploit your weak footing or poor stance. Child survived several years in the arena for a reason.

Heavy Hitter: Child has deceptive amounts of power in her fists. And is known to do severe damage quickly with well placed and brutal strikes. Granted, she winds up taking more damage at times as result of her disregard for her own life.

[b]Style: Gladiatorial Fighting[/b]
Childs life went from bad to worse when she was put in the arena. Fighting for her life, she picked up a highly unortodox and dirty way of fighting. Apt at using short range, very in your face kind of weapons, she is akin to that of a "In boxer" while most knights and warriors would be considered a “out boxer”. Her complete disregard for her own aswell as the opponents lives has played heavily in her favor as well as she will risk a wound to be able to get close enough to completely destroy her opponent. 

[b]Spirit Host;[/b]
Child was molded to be the cults way of communication with the gods. As all good, fanatical intentions go, if didn't work. The spirits that they called upon were not that of the divine, but of the lost and damned. They clung to the child like leaches and child became something of a spiritual beacon. Child is now tormented by there spirits, all wanting to control her for their own gain. Child learned however, that trough rigorous training as well as torturous rituals, she could control their desires and draw upon their strenght. Child reaches out to one of the many souls and spirits clinging to her and find what primal emotion drives them and becomes a channel for it. A dead warriors blood lust may boost her temporarily in combat per example. Should she fail to control it however, the spirit might cause havoc both on her mentally, as well as by lashing out on the surroundings using Child as a vessel.

[b]Equipment[/b]

-Hatchet Swords: Her most typical, and least exotic part of the arsenal is the two blades that are strapped to her back. The blades, are made like that of curved swords, but the style and the angle make it more akin to set of hatches in nature. They are made to chop things, rather then slice.

-Modified Tonfas: A spring sit in the middle of the baton, allowing for a hidden metal spile to shoot out with brutal force from the short tip. Used in junction with a strike to suprise enemies wearing plate and armor in general.

Cestus: Simply a pair of gauntlets used to beat the ever living hell out of your opponent. Arguably not to effective against armored opponents and the like. Yet, Child has gotten the better of many when it comes down to using them.

Armor: A set of segmented, hardened leather. Provides some very moderate protection from blades and strikes, but at least allows for free movement and protection from the weather. Neck is with light plate that protect her main arteries from stray blades and arrows. Several more plates run down her back and spine. Losely attached and very light as to not to hinder her movements, they are there are not hinder a properly aimed blade at all.

[b]Romance:[/b] If someone uses cheat codes to unlock Childs heart, sure!
[b]Does the Kouri Plushie exist?:[/b] ...Depends, can Child keep the plushie?
