[i]Art not mine, obviously.[/i]

[b]Name:[/b]Lana
[b]Age:[/b]21
[b]Gender:[/b]female

[b]Physical description:[/b] 5ft10 with short black hair and freckles all over, her skin is mostly pale and her arms are covered in scars, her belly holds a single massive scar. She normally wears simple grey robes that hide everything save her face. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Only a few years ago Lana was an optimistic young woman who, despite being abandoned at a young age found a world filled with wonders and things to explore. Ever since Lana bonded with her relic she began to see the truth of humanity and the world they inhabited. She is distant, refusing to talk on most occasions and always assuming the worst, and normally being correct.

[b]Abilities:[/b] 
[i]Blood Manipulation:[/i] After having sacrificed blood she may control it and use it in defensive or offensive ways, hardening it until it becomes almost crystalline and making it a blade or even a shield. When unhardened the blood can float or move along the ground regardless of slopes or gravity.

[i]Blood Pact:[/i] Making a blood pact with a person Lana can use this pact to track them down later or even heal great wounds, though this healing REQUIRES them to accept the pact and once they do there is little to nothing they can do to escape it until Lana releases them. The pact also allows Lana to communicate with pact members at great distances and draw more blood from them without it becoming life threatening.

[b]God:[/b][hider=Malthael, God of blood and sacrifice.]

Malthael, a cruel but fair god who believes in the saying [i]An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth[/i]. He is a god of blood, as well as sacrifice in any form. Worshipers who had been wronged would often sacrifice something for the power right those wrongs, though Malthael would force them into a blood pact as a price and call upon them later. Due to the price Malthael commanded from his followers he was labeled an evil being, and his followers hunted down by those who thought themselves holy, though this could not be farther from the truth. 
Devout followers of Malthael quickly learn that, like all gods Malthael is no more evil or good than humanity as a whole.

Relic: The Cayosin Di Iejir - A foot long silver sacrificial blade stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of victims. Cuts made by this blade poisons everybody other than the host, and cuts made by the blade NEVER heal correctly, leaving deep scars unaffected by magic.

[b]Background:[/b] Born from a high elf and a human Lana was abandoned at a young age, despite this she grew up to be a curious and caring young woman. She first encountered Malthael in the ruin where she found the relic. The blade spoke to her, it told tales of great adventures and adventures to come. It also told of great horrors on the horizon and trials to come that the mortal world would surely fail without the help of the gods. It was then and there that Lana made her first sacrifice, binding herself to the god of sacrifice through plunging the blade into her belly and waking up with the blade in her hands just outside the ruin.

Word of Malthael's return spread, Templars, mercenaries and knights alike all searched for her to end what they thought to be a coming slaughter, though with each enemy that came her way three allys came to defend her. Lana quickly grew a cult, groups of people from all races that worshipped her for reasons of their own, though Lana could care less since they protected her from the ' holy ' knights that came for her head.
