[color=00a99d][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Yatzil is an individual who allows her instincts and feelings to guide her actions. If she wants to do something she will absolutely do it without a second to consider the ramifications. If it gives her pleasure, she sees no reason why not. Loud, opinionated, and fiery she does not care what others may think of her actions. She is quick to smile and laugh - though a lot of things may go over her head. Despite her strong personality she is easy to get along with. The sort of person who will take you by the hand and jump feet first into a situation, dragging you along. When it comes to conflict or solving a situation she aims to just get the job done. No mulling and no second guessing herself. What she feels is the correct course of action is what she is going to do. She does not take direction well, though if she can be made to see reason she may follow along. She is happy to assist in other's schemes and is not impartial to practical jokes or tricks. Anything that can bring about fun and laughter. She is not good with technology but is never embarrassed or shy about it. (Or about much of anything) Yatzil is attempting to learn these computer things but in the end prefer the old fashioned way of doing things. She takes things in stride and is not judgmental when it comes to others wants, dreams, or fears. She can be open and caring, almost motherly sometimes. While she will offer hugs and comfort she also takes a bit of the tough love route - occasionally manipulating situations in order to 'help' others learn for themselves. She loves to drink, dance, and party. If she were allowed to leave the Tower you might often find her at a club or dive bar. She is quick to pick up games and is extremely competitive by nature. If she is going to do something she is going to do it right. No half-assing anything. [color=00a99d][b]Powers/Abilities:[/b][/color] She is ageless due to a quick healing ability. her body is constantly rejuvenating itself, keeping her young and healthy. She has never been sick. While not immune to poisons, her body will pull her through no matter the amount given. She just will be laid up for weeks or months as her body processes. The same goes for wounds. She will not die but can be hurt to a point of needing to excessively repair herself, leaving her out of commission for long periods of time. Yatzil uses blood to give herself buffs. The range and power of this "blood magic" (as she calls it) is dampened by the necklace. It works best when other's blood (and it must be human) is used but New Horizons generally frowns on that sort of thing so she must use her own. Painting symbols on her body allow different sort of "power-ups" - higher defensive capabilities, better eyesight, faster movement, etc. The time it is at its strongest is when she is menstruating, this giving her heightened defence and making her flesh harder to pierce, it also adds power to the symbols she would draw. The gods gave her one last blessing and that is a siren's voice. She can lure the weak minded or those in a weakened state to do her bidding (within reason, nothing they might not already do) and a battle cry on the way into the fray may cause terror to rush through the veins of her enemy. She can also use her voice to calm someone who is agitated. It only works on human and other humanoid beings. She is also skilled in using the bow and arrow as well as her preferred weapon, a [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rwby/images/b/b7/Maquahuitl-macuahuitl-espada-arama-azteca-mexica-prhispanica-13584-MLM20079098608_042014-F.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151023174745]Macuahuitl[/url] which looks like a cricket bat with obsidian blades placed along the edges. [color=00a99d][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] While she would have been about average size during the time of her people, now she is comically short. She stands at about 4'7". She is lithe and well-muscled with a curvaceous/athletic build. She has long, thick black hair with a slight wave to it. While in battle she keeps it up in a high ponytail. Otherwise she usually wears it down. Her skin is sun kissed bronze with a few scars (from intense wounds) decorating her flesh to show she is battle worn. She also has tribal tattoos over her arms, chest, and back. Her style of clothing she prefers is light and flowy. When outside of the Tower she tends to wear something warm as she is not accustomed to the climate. She keeps her room absurdly warm but can tolerate the general temperature of the Tower. She also likes to wear jewelry and feathers. Yatzil has discovered the ease with which she can apply modern make-up and will occasionally wear this as well. She enjoys decorating her body. [color=00a99d][b]History:[/b][/color] When exactly she was born she does not quite remember. Her first memories were at the temple where her nearly decimated body was brought back to life by the grace of the gods after a particularly horrendous battle with a neighboring tribe. She figures she was likely born toward the beginning of the decline of the Mayan Empire. The priests brought her back as a weapon against their enemies, the gods giving her the strength and ability to defeat all who would oppose her. Her people both revered and feared her. She was something unnatural but kept them safe. (Likely the ceremony was coincidental to the awakening of a mutant ability) Unfortunately, this only lasted so long until the Conquistadors came. There had been whispers that they were coming. They had wild beasts which could run as fast as a jaguar which they rode, stomping hooves and long manes. They carried weapons of fire and metal and wore plates to protect their bodies. Her village prepared for battle, setting up defenses. It was not enough. She watched in horror as the warriors she fought alongside were felled by the bullets. She fought wildly but in the end the barrage of bullets brought her down. The Spaniards, unable to kill her, tortured her for weeks until. After two months of this constant physical torture and rape the Spaniards made an ally with a rival tribe. It was they who crafted the jade cross necklace for her and helped the Spaniards trap her in a sarcophagus, sealing it with a curse so that none may open it. She was buried in a temple deep within the jungle and forgotten. It wasn't until the 1930's that the sarcophagus was found. It was opened by an unfortunate hired hand who melted on the spot. She saw the first rays of sunshine in what seemed an eternity. However, it was white man who freed her. She went into a rage, unable to understand their language. She attacked but this time her body was riddled by new, better bullets which once again put her down. Yatzil was carted off to the original instance of New Horizons where she learned English and what had transpired since her entombment. In learning she agreed to work for them for 200 years as thanks for freeing her. But once this time was up they would remove her necklace and allow her back into the world. She had no way of knowing that they intended to go back on this deal once the 200 years would be up. [color=00a99d][b]Other:[/b][/color] She is one of the original members of New Horizon, but has never been given a leadership position due to her recklessness. She still has a strong accent. She has a lot of trouble using technology and tends to avoid it. Prefers spicy to sweet foods. She views all beings with supernatural powers as being "God-Kissed" [hider=Theme Song] [youtube]https://youtu.be/qDII8lABz2g[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/4ZkbLmxim10[/youtube] [youtube]https://youtu.be/7V4PYg2FRHQ[/youtube] [/hider] [/hider] [/center] I am happy to change anything! :)
