Mostly done, just some tweaking and I'll wrap up the background in a hot second. [hider=Kara] [u][b]Name[/b][/u] Karolina Sergeyevna Kuzmina [u][b]Nicknames[/b][/u] Kara to her friends, Kalya to her close friends and family. [u][b]Alias[/b][/u] [u][b]Age[/b][/u] 25 (prior to death) [u][b]Birthday[/b][/u] December 7th [u][b]Gender[/b][/u] Female [u][b]Species[/b][/u] Undead (Human) [u][b]Ethnicity[/b][/u] Russian-American [u][b]Nationality[/b][/u] American [hr] [u][b]Personality[/b][/u] Kara is a bundle of bitter anger and desperate longing wrapped in the cold shroud of undeath. Her jealousy towards the living is buried beneath a carefully cultivated aloofness. Beneath the fearless confidence of the undying, Kara hides all that she has lost and all that she desires. Her memories twist and fade. Her past seems unimportant. She can feel her emotions unraveling, each thin thread of humanity becoming undone. With the growing night, her thoughts darken, and her heart dims. Death offers no mercy and she remains bound, chained to life, and driven by a greater understanding that she's not done and she's not free. [u][b]Height[/b][/u] 5' 7'' [u][b]Weight[/b][/u] 130 lbs (when corporeal) [u][b]Notable Features[/b][/u] [u][b]Hair[/b][/u] Black, shoulder length [u][b]Eyes[/b][/u] Gray [u][b]Voice[/b][/u] Soft, with the hint of an East Coast accent. [u][b]Appearance[/b][/u] When not floating around as a spooky ethereal figure clad in a floor length white dress, Kara looks like nothing more than a normal mortal woman. Unassuming in her gracefulness, she has an elfin build and pale skin touched only little by the passage of time. Although no longer necessary, she keeps her hair in a fashionable shoulder length cut. Her gray eyes burn with a light as cold as the grave and reflect precious little of the warmth they did in life. A generous mouth that once offered a brilliant smile, now moves little, as if her own existence is a burden she only reluctantly suffers. A pragmatic dresser, Kara favors black jeans, monochrome t-shirts, and canvas sneakers when assuming a corporeal form. As cold bothers her little in her undeath, she has found jackets or sweaters to be unnecessary. [u][b]Languages[/b][/u] English, Russian, Ukrainian, and various dialects of undead (corporeal and ethereal). [u][b]Biography[/b][/u] [hr] [u][b]Powers[/b][/u] Ethereal Undead - With one foot in the grave and a soul tied to the ethereal plane, Kara dances across the heavy line that separates life and death. Paradoxically although Kara exists as a ghost, she appears to retain her corporeal body, and is able to turn fully tangible when she chooses. Speaker of the Dead - As one of the undead, Kara has the gift of gab when conversing with others of her kind. Resurrection Specialist - Having returned from death once before, it's unlikely that Kara will stay dead in the event of future fatalities. However, recovering from death takes some time. Arcane Artificer - In life, Kara was a prodigious artificer, an arcane specialist dedicated to the invention and creation of wonderous magical items. In death, freed from the distractions of the flesh, Kara has only had more time to further her arcane art. Trained Hunter - Kara retains many of the skills she acquired in her short, mostly successful career as a hunter of the things that go bump in the night. [u][b]Fighting Style[/b][/u] Kara fights from the shadows, shifting between her ethereal and corporeal form, and striking where her enemies least expect it. For a ghost, she has a marked dislike for grime, and prefers to fight at a distance. [u][b]Combat Abilities[/b][/u] While Kara possesses a professional knowledge of the finer elements of physical combat, she considers herself a specialist in the use of firearms and arcane devices of her own construction. [u][b]Daily Skills[/b][/u] [u][b]Equipment[/b][/u] Gold Pocket Watch - Fond of old things, Kara's prized possession is an antique gold pocket watch. Of Swiss make, the watch dates from some time in the early 1800s. [u][b]Weapons[/b][/u] Silver Needle and Thimble - Tucked in a pocket Kara has a needle and thimble wrought out of pure silver. [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Stechkin_APS.jpg]Stechkin APS (Avtomaticheskiy Pistolet Stechkina)[/url] - For dealing with monsters, Kara carries a Stechkin APS, a Soviet designed selective fire machine pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and fitted with a wooden shoulder stock.
