Here's my character. I don't mean to immediately come up with my own affinity but, I had the idea and I wanted to follow through on it, haha. Figured I'd submit something anyway. [hider=Khalida Nasser] Name: Khalida Nasser Gender: Female Appearance: A tall, imposing woman standing at about six feet, six inches tall. Her skin is a mutation of it's original brown color, now dark grey in most places. She has a highly muscular build and while usually she wears medium to heavy armor, she currently is making do with some simple trousers, boots, and a chest wrapping. Despite taking many hits over the years, she is unscarred. Her ear-length, somewhat curly hair is black, though there is a light pale bang that hangs down in front of her forehead. As a vampire it's hardly worth mentioning, but she is beautiful as well. In a 'crush your head with her bare hands' kind of way. Abilities: As a vampire, Khalida has control over blood. She can harden it and maneuver it at will, using it as a weapon or defensive barrier. Her affinity however, is to her own physical ability. All vampires are stronger than humans, but Khalida is stronger than most vampires, as well as having more speed and durability. She is a talented warrior in many aspects, including bladed weapons, blunt weapons, throwing weapons and archery. She prefers to use physical weapons over blood weapons, simply so that she can save her blood magic energy for other utilities. Despite being so large, she can also be quite stealthy and is good at tracking. Personality: Khalida is a quiet, gentle extrovert. She enjoys victory and the thrill of battle, as well as the finer things in life. Ichor is her Goddess of course, and the one true ruler of this world. Though she isn't sure why the religious text is always so stuffy, dry, and hard to read. Khalida has somewhat of a strange view towards humans- she sees them as she would see her fellow vampires. Simply people. After all, she was a human once upon a time. How someone could view humans as 'cattle' is beyond her. They simply fulfill a different role in the ecosystem. They are the prey, vampires are the predators. Whoever wins, one way or the other, is who is worthy of survival. Though with the death of both Ichor and the Gods, the world has been cast into complete disarray. The only one capable of saving the world now is Ichor. Bio: Originally a slave turned gladiator who won her freedom and became a mercenary. Seeking an eternal, worthy cause to fight for, and finding the Gods to be complacent and lazy, turned to Ichor and the Violet Witch. That was a long time ago. She was once a great vampire general and warrior. At the end of the Ophidiel Era, she was a general responsible for defending Alavaris from the Hundred Paladins. As a leader and a warrior, she fought valiantly but was amongst the first vampires to die, placing victory as a higher priority over her own survival. She fought until she was soaked with her own blood and the blood of her enemies, her armor wrenched and dented off of her. Finally she was caught out of position, and succumbed to a well placed barrage of holy arrows. Slumping to the ground, she went through the rather undignified process of dying before closing her eyes for what she thought would be the final time. Needless to say it was a humbling experience. Anything else: The humans most likely didn't inter her with her weapons and her armor. She'll have to make do with blood magic and her bare hands until she finds some new weapons and armor worthy of her power. [/hider]
