[b]Name:[/b] Cardinal Knitter (real name unknown) [b]Age:[/b] 87 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] She looks like an old woman in a black cloak covered in golden runes and a whole lot of jewelry dangling from her hair and arms. [b]Personality:[/b] She's stern and brave, appearing emotionless but she simply doesn't let her emotions control her. She shows tough love to those she cares about and all around toughness to those she doesn't, not afraid to deal with them in whatever manner is needed to eliminate them as a threat. That being said she may have some dirty work be carried out, but it's often for the over-all good. She doesn't let others stop her from doing what she wants and how she wants it. If they refuse to do things her way then she won't do anything at all to help them. That doesn't mean she won't listen to reason, so if someone brings up a good point then she will integrate that into her way of doing things. When the world's not at stake and she can afford to show off some more emotions, she sometimes awards good deeds with a fresh batch of milk and cookies befitting of what would be expected of an awesome grandma. She will never let her enemies see any such weaknesses, however, unless she can lull them into a false sense of security. [b][u]Abilities[/u][/b] [b]Physical Abilities-[/b] She's very frail, as frail as an...old woman. All of her physical abilities reflect this. [b]Knitting-[/b] If she's not the best knitter in the universe, she's tied for it. God would have to cheat in order to beat her. [b]Baking-[/b] Not as high level as her knitting, but worthy of a grandma. [b]Aching Bones-[/b] She can feel it in her bones when trouble is afoot. Rain triggers this response as well, so if it's raining then this ability cannot be trusted. [b]Strategist-[/b] Despite being old, or actually because of it, she's very wise and is one of the best strategists around. Few can outsmart her. [b][u]Powers[/u][/b] [b]Ultimate Knitting-[/b] A special technique passed down to her by her grandma, and her grandma before her. She can knit any material and make said material come to life once completed. And by any material I mean any material that can possibly be placed into thread form. Even metal can easily be knitted by her into suits of armor, for but one example, but don't think for a second that's all she can do, or that this is her freakiest or most powerful application. Once the material is alive she can repair or add onto it with more knitting as the need arises, which might actually count as stitching, but that doesn't matter. She can knit so fast that her hands are just a blur and she won't even lose any accuracy, even if using both hands at once and focused elsewhere unless the design is really intricate. [b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b] *She's an old woman. If she is without any of her knitted products then she's doomed. Good luck getting such a scenario. *Catch her while she's outside of her base and she won't have as much knitting material to fix or create mid battle. [b][u]Equipment[/u][/b] [b]Walking Stick-[/b] An ordinary walking stick made out of very sturdy wood. Used with her left hand. [b]Knitting Supplies-[/b] Anything she might need for knitting is in a box hiding in her cloak. [b]Ultimate Knitted Creation-[/b] Wielded in her right hand, it's a handheld blob of what appears to be yarn of multiple colors, writhing around as if alive. It has so many knitted curse strings (see below) inside of it that it can use a huge variety of powers, important ones of note is it's unlimited defense and wind vortex technique. It can move on it's own, but cannot use magic if not wielded by her. [b]Cursed String-[/b] These are rare so she cannot imbue them into all of her creations, but the ones that do can take on a wide variety of magical abilities based on the curse. Cursed string are created by magic that requires some sacrifices that are often very hard to accomplish, so if one wants to create a cursed string to imbue the creation with fire breath, for example, part of the sacrifice requires the tongue of a dragon. The whole 3 hour ritual can only produce a string of whatever material 9 inches in length. The longer the string she wishes to produce, the more material is needed (double the amount of the material for double the length of string, obviously). She often holds these cursed strings individually in vials, but also stores some in a necklace she keeps on her for emergency purposes, knitting in cursed string that would be handy for the given circumstance. She can remove or add cursed string at will. It doesn't work on things she didn't knit into existence, so if she does knit it into someone it would just sit there acting like the normal substance that it is. [b]Cursed Hex String-[/b] Now [i]this[/i] string can work if knitted into someone. It can cause a wide variety of negative effects from immobilization to hallucinations as long as it remains knitted into them. It's otherwise exactly like normal cursed string without the beneficial effects. [b][u]Bio[/u][/b] She's a very secretive woman of a very secretive organization, serving as the head for many years due to her vast wisdom and power. Nobody knows if she's good or evil, far less what her end goal is. What is known is that she has an army of her own creation at her disposal using her powers. Nobody wants to mess with her out of fear of the reputation that she has, as little as the information they have to go by is. She took on [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/4323/posts/ooc?page=1#post-137670]Mimi Tail[/url] as an apprentice due to their powers being compatible and her having a secret soft spot for cats, a trait common for old women.
