Unfortunately for her, Revenants are ageless and no longer physically grow so unless a miracle happens, she's pretty much stuck as she is. Ionna possesses curtain-like silky gray hair that extends down to her knees, except for a small streak of purple locks at the center of her forehead. She has golden eyes with rather narrow pupils resembling a feline, and as it's common with Revenants, said eyes gain a glowing red hue whenever she engages her blood powers. Her complexion is pretty pale, maybe a bit [i]too[/i] pale to be considered healthy... for a human, but the thing is, she's not human anymore. The most eye-catching attire she wears during missions is an oversized dark purple coat fitted with thick cuff-like accessories. The garment is sturdier than it looks while also being comfy to wear. Outside of missions, she prefers to wear functional clothes that provide comfort and ease of movement. She loves purple so if given the choice, she'll wear clothes with that color, but honestly, she's not really fussy about them, as long as they fulfill those two conditions above, she'll take anything really. [/indent] [color=a772ce][b]BLOOD CODE:[/b][/color] [i]Kratos (AB Type)[/i] [indent]Befitting its namesake as the God of Strength, Ionna's Blood Code and combat style primarily employ the use of fast hard-hitting melee attacks. A lightning bruiser through and through, she's both swift and strong, combining supernatural strength and speed to strike with such momentous force that will stagger all but the sturdiest of Losts. While Ionna prefers to engage targets in close range and rarely has problems closing the distance due to her speed, should the situation dictate her to strike them at range, her go-to method is simply to toss something heavy - like a large boulder - at the offending party. On the flipside, Ionna is somewhat of a glass cannon, she can dish out massive amounts of damage quickly, but can't take much in return. Furthermore, she tires out quicker than the average AB-type Revenants so stamina management is something she must watch out for. The most ideal scenario for her is if she can take the enemy by surprise and pulverize them before they can properly react, inversely, she'll be in a spot of trouble facing enemies that are sturdy enough to resist her attacks or simply too agile to even land a hit. Kratos’ color is [color=a772ce]purple[/color]. [/indent] [color=a772ce][b]EQUIPMENT:[/b][/color] [indent] [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Weapons & Armor:[/b] Her primary tools of engagement and protection when out in the field. Her armor takes the form of a thick oversized coat that’s reinforced against trauma as well as wear and tear. Ionna possesses a set of weapons that complements her skills, these weapons are: a pair of large gauntlet-claws to either slice or crush enemies, a pair of fastened bull horns to ram targets with, and a spiky whip-tail to lash at foes. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Purifier Mask:[/b] Every operative - Revenants, Sidhe, Humans - worth their salt wear one of these to filter the miasma-choked air outside of purified settlements. There's nothing special about hers, just a standard reliable tool. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Supplies:[/b]: Backpack, blood beads, a spare mask, a length of rope, etc. [/indent] [color=a772ce][b]SKILLS / TRAITS:[/b][/color] [indent] [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Singing:[/b] Possibly a natural talent carried over from her human self, Ionna has an amazing voice range and is able to enchant others with her vocal performance. When paired with a musician, the two can provide entertainment for the party, just a bit of joy in this bleak post-apocalyptic world. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Fearless:[/b] Arguably a double-edged sword, Ionna is - for a lack of better words - dauntless. Either the concept of fear is absent in her parasite-controlled mind or that her reaction to genuine fear is to lash out in rage instead, one thing is clear, intimidation against her is a futile endeavor. On the flipside, this trait tends to make her reckless, overconfident, and easily taunted. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Loyal:[/b] When Ionna sees someone as a true friend, they can rest assured that she'll not hesitate to risk life and limb to protect them. She has a sharp instinct when it comes to protecting someone and makes for a reliable escort. [/indent] [color=a772ce][b]LIMITATIONS & WEAKNESSES:[/b][/color] [indent] [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Blood Glutton:[/b] The BOR parasite that resurrected Ionna seems to be particularly voracious; her bloodthirst rises faster than usual, particularly after intense physical activities such as combat. Naturally, this trait fuels her motivation to end the Blood Beads scarcity sooner than later. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Naive:[/b] Due to only being reborn as a Revenant less than a decade ago and losing all of her human-self's memories except for essential skills (motor functions, language, etc), Ionna is pretty naive, made especially apparent when compared to the older Revenants. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Fearless:[/b] Ditto from the Skills section. [color=a772ce]❖[/color] [b]Glass Cannon: [/b]: Ditto from the Blood Code section. [/indent] [color=a772ce][b]BIOGRAPHY:[/b][/color] [indent] [hider=Personality] [i]Extroverted - Confident - Brave - Loyal - Naive[/i], there's no shortage of liveliness when Ionna is around; the silver-haired Revenant has that energy about her that either inspires people or annoys others. She was (re)born into a pretty shitty world and decided to make the best of it, the fact that she possesses the power to possibly carve a better future for everyone just fuels her motivation. She's one of those people who has yet to become jaded at the bleakness of their current existence, but whether she'll eventually remain one or not remains to be seen. Ionna has a strong sense of camaraderie and believes that the only way people can defeat the Lost once and for all is to band together as one. Petty squabbles will only prolong everyone's suffering; the real enemy here is the Lost, not fellow sentient beings. While she doesn't wish to kill another person if she can help it, the purple-clad girl has no compulsions at culling the Lost hordes. As far as she's concerned, they're no longer people, whoever they were before had died and only an empty rabid husk remained, ridding them so others can sleep in peace is the right thing to do. In fact, some may say that she enjoys fighting the Lost a little bit [i]too[/i] much, being called a "Battle Maniac Brat" is something she's no stranger to. Ionna has a complex regarding her height and being underestimated because of her looks in general; as a result, she can be rather smug whenever she proves her superiority against someone who belittled her. She can be petty at times, remembering slights against her for a long time, but the opposite is also true, she rarely forgets people she's owed to. [/hider] [hider=Background] One of the many victims of the inhospitable world following the Great Collapse; Ionna didn't remember anything from her previous life as a human, she would've even forgotten her name if not for the locket her body wore that had the word "Ionna" engraved on it, something she noticed shortly after awakening as a revenant. Speaking of that, she remembered how she woke up inside a ruined structure of some sort. Of course she didn't exactly remember how she got there, but logical deduction pointed that her human self must've taken shelter there and perished due to one reason or another, then a BOR parasite chose her body as its host. Lost and confused, the reborn Ionna simply wandered the world for a few months, surviving by consuming the blood of animals. However, animal blood is nowhere as potent as a human's or Blood Beads, making Ionna unable to fully fulfill her thirst as she slowly descended into frenzy. At some point, her memory became a blur as her mental faculty deteriorated. What she could remember was told by a member of "Cerberus", a revenant operations unit under the employ of the Provisional Government. They said that she attacked them in a frenzy, but they managed to subdue her, fed her a blood bead, then took her in for rescue. Fortunately, she didn't manage to kill anyone in her maddened trance. It's a blessing in disguise as had she not attacked the group, she'd have completely succumbed to her hunger and mutated into a Lost. Feeling indebted to Cerberus and agreeing with their mission to restore order to this lawless land, she eventually joined up with them for a while before being assigned to an allied group of vigilantes who had a similar goal. Thus, Ionna’s story truly began.

[/indent] [/indent] [/hider] [hider=Ionna's Relationships] [hr][hr][center][color=a772ce][h1][b]I O N N A[/b][/h1][/color][/center][hr][hr] Role in the team: [b][color=a772ce]The Child Revenant[/color][/b] 💔 Ex-friends/lovers/enemies ❤️‍🤍🤍🤍 Neutral ❤️‍❤️‍🤍🤍 Acquaintances ❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍🤍 Friends ❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍ Close friends ❤️‍🔥 Lovers [color=gold][center][h3]Erik[/h3][/center][/color] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ Big Boss Man[/center] He's the one in charge of the Commune! The leader! The head honcho! Ionna thinks he truly deserves his position from what she has seen of him so far. Although he doesn't like being called by any kind of title, he doesn't seem to mind when Ionna calls him "Big Boss Man”; maybe it's because he excuses her childish innocence, whether intentionally or not. Also unlike Poppy, he doesn't mind taking a break from work to play a bit even though he's probably super busy. [center][h3][color=indianred]Ajax[/color][/h3][/center] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ Big Blade Man[/center] If Erik is the Big Boss Man, then Ajax is like his quieter vice-boss or something like that. He sure carries a lot of sharp things and is somehow super skilled at using them all in quick succession. As of the moment, he's the person that Ionna goes to should she have any questions regarding how to fight better. To that end, it certainly helps that he has offered to personally train her, honing her unrefined brutality into practiced, deliberate combat techniques. Just like with Erik (and anyone else for that matter), Ionna doesn't consciously realize that her appearance and demeanor subconsciously affect Ajax's treatment towards her, softening those who'd otherwise be more guarded to others. [color=darkorange][center][h3]Dallas[/h3][/center][/color] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ Big Grizzly Man[/center] At first impression, Ionna honestly thought that Dallas is a trio with Erik and Ajax as the Big Bosses of the Commune, but apparently he’s only been around for a month. Regardless, Ionna thinks he’s a like big fluffy bear that doesn’t talk much, but fun to hang around with, kinda like Ajax, but larger. Of course, just like him, she doesn’t realize that her appearance subconsciously ‘manipulates’ Dallas’ treatment towards her. [center][color=a772ce][h3]Ionna[/h3][/color][/center] [center]❤️‍❤️‍❤️‍ Herself[/center] She's herself, yet... not herself. After encountering Cerberus, who then taught her the ins-and-outs on what a Revenant is, she comes to realize that there was an Ionna, the human Ionna, who may or may not even be named "Ionna", although it's difficult to have any sense of longing or regret when she can't remember anything of her past life. Regardless, she loves herself and if there's ever a chance to recover her memories of the past life, then she'd have no hesitation to take it even if just to satiate her curiosity; it'd be neat, but the past is the past, no one can change it, unlike the present and future. [color=#bca346][h3][center]Akaia[/center][/h3][/color] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ Funny-Speech Plant Person[/center] The olive-skinned plant-person talks funny, and to be perfectly honest, Ionna has a difficult time understanding her. In another universe, they'll have passed mutually ignore each other's existence, peaceful but strangers, but as things stand, [i]one[/i] thing drives the small revenant enough to try forging a bond with the seemingly-aloof Sidhe; both of them were chosen by a crow! Laplace clearly loves Licorice and is always so eager to befriend the older crow, this must mean Ionna too must be friends with Akaia! It's only logical! [center][h3][color=7FFFD4]Lysandra[/color][/h3][/center] [center]❤️‍ Super Smart Gadget Person[/center] Due to Lysandra being super busy all the time - even more than Erik! - Ionna rarely has the chance to have any meaningful interactions with the only female human of the Commune so far. It's okay though, Erik told her that Lysandra is irreplaceably important to the group and she's like, mega smart so she always has projects to do. Some of her drones are really cute though! Ionna wants to play with them but she's been warned not to because they're not toys, a wise move on Lysandra's part considering the small girl's grossly deceptive strength. [center][color=orange][h3]Vincent[/h3][/color][/center] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ A Fellow Hero[/center] A fellow new person to the Commune and one that shares her eagerness to - and she quotes - "Knock Lost heads"! Both of them are physically active people who derive enjoyment from eradicating the Lost, finding thrill in the act of combat, flexing their supercharged muscles to smash rabid beasts left and right. It's not far-fetched to see that they have the potential to become fast friends given enough time. Interestingly, Vincent is a Revenant who already knows who he is and what he believes in, a complete opposite from the gray-haired girl who had awakened merely a few years ago. [center][color=khaki][h3]Desmond[/h3][/color][/center] [center]❤️‍ Sad Brother[/center] One of the only two humans of the Commune, and the only male. Ionna can only describe Desmond as... "heavy", everything about him is heavy, from the way he carries himself to the burden on his shoulders. After being told why he's like that by the other members, even the naive revenant can understand why. Everything he does, he does it for his sister, who's caught between the realm of the dead and the living, alive yet comatose. Ionna tries her best to cheer him up during the few times they do interact, but she also feels it won't matter much, the only thing that'll change him is Amelia waking up, hopefully that'll be sooner than later. [center][color=indianred][h3]Cerise[/h3][/color][/center] [center]❤️‍❤️‍ Sweet Sister[/center] Cerise is one of those people who are naturally good with kids, only a truly detestable and/or bitter person can irk her and Ionna is neither. The younger revenant looks up to her like an older sister figure and the fact that Laplace likes her too definitely adds to the fondness. This compatibility extends to the battlefield as well since Ionna has a knack for being an escort, providing plenty of cover and distractions so Cerise can take her time picking off targets with her signature rifle. [center][color=olivedrab][h3]Poppy[/h3][/color][/center] [center]❤️‍ Boring Plant Person[/center] Akaia may talk funny, but at least she still knows how to play, but the same can't be said for Poppy. The redheaded plant person honestly just bores Ionna, the golden-eyed revenant can [i]tangibly[/i] feel the mood being drained whenever she's around, all of the liveliness in the atmosphere dashed away, replaced by "No Fun Allowed" seriousness. If Ionna has to guess, meeting with sick people all the time must have sapped all the joy she has inside her. Some may say that Poppy's tough love is more subtle, but all of that subtlety just goes over the short revenant's head. It's okay though as in the end, Ionna knows that Poppy is still a good person, but she'll be the last person in the Commune that Ionna will even bother to approach, and well, it looks like the feeling is mutual anyway.
