ETA: When Matilda's team reconvenes at the inn. [table][row][/row][row][cell]Name: [color=fdc68a]Dixie Greene[/color] Species: [color=fdc68a]Human [color=f26522]Demonoid[/color][/color] Age: [color=fdc68a]Thirty-something[/color] Gender: [color=fdc68a]Female[/color][/cell][cell][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1035190472634798110/1035190550200074322/dixie2.png[/img][/cell][/row][/table][hider=Click to Expand]. Appearance: [color=fdc68a]Disheveled black hair brunched up in a neck-long ponytail held up with an orb attached to a steel chopstick. Soul-sucking amber eyes with unusually fantastic eyelashes. Freckles. X-shaped mark on her face that kind of blends with her hair. Decently tall height, average build with hints of muscle. Aside from later-mentioned pieces of armor, black sweaters and black leggings that blend well with blood. Her left sleeve is always folded back up to the elbow. Parts of her skin are reddened like burn scars, oddly red-purple like her own blood.[/color] Bio: [color=fdc68a]The Greenes are considered a noble family of adventurers, but in truth, it's an organization that picks up the young dregs of society, particularly those with innate talent, then turns them into adventurers. The young Dixie was adopted into this system, and was sent into the wider world when she was barely a teenager. To begin killing monsters and other humans from that young, is tragedy on its own. Her final mission, to protect a little town surrounded by a rather expansive magical woodland, went relatively well. Even met a man worthy to be her husband. Too bad he was a humonculus, though. The magical woodland turned out to be beyond saving as well, specifically because of her husband. She couldn't accept it. While most others gave up and left, she stayed and murdered all manner of large and/or corrupted beasts for the next eight years. In that time, she paid no mind to ingesting and absorbing the beasts' flesh and blood regardless of their corruption, and it caused changes in her physique. Recently, her old friend the forest hermit pleaded to find one of his two bear-like sons. He couldn't quite do it himself, for he was magically connected to this forest at this point. She figured it was time to take a vacation, too. Maybe she'll even swing by and visit her ancestor who works in the palace.[/color] Traits: [color=fdc68a][color=f26522]Demonoid[/color] [color=gray]- Increased physical regeneration. Heightened senses. Taking holy attacks greatly increases fatigue, up to the point of knocking her unconscious.[/color] Flexible [color=gray]- Joints and spine have drastically increased movement range.[/color] Careless Gourmet [color=gray]- If it can be digested, it's not poisonous.[/color] [color=f26522]Curse of the Bane of All Life[/color] [color=gray]- She gives off bad vibes. Animals fear her and people distrust her, by default.[/color][/color] Skills: [color=fdc68a]Ambidextrous [color=gray]- Equally skilled with either hand.[/color] Assassin [color=gray]- Her chosen profession from a young age. Hides her presence. Footsteps and breathing are minimized. Climbs surfaces easily. Attacks are swift and hardwired to path towards vital organs.[/color] Slayer [color=gray]- Her second profession, adapted to deal with large beasts. Increased jump height and air maneuverability. (Doesn't constitute mid-air jumping. Rather, think [i]ukemi[/i].)[/color] Pugilist [color=gray]- Her third profession; weapons don't exactly come cheap. Unarmed attacks have increased power.[/color][/color] Spells: [color=fdc68a][color=f26522]Curse of Blood Spiders[/color] [color=gray]- Turns nearby blood into small droplet-sized spiders under her control (via the mind, one-way command). Maximum of ~100 under her control at the same time. They can secrete black silk and inject numbing poison with their bite. Passively, her own blood also turns into spiders when they leave her body. - The longer the spiders exist, the less susceptible they are to the command, until eventually they become wild bugs.[/color] [color=f26522]Hellfire Ray[/color] [color=gray]- Fires a one-second exploding ray of hellfire from the X-shaped mark on her face. Has tremendous recoil. Inflicts great pain after casting.[/color] Hellfire Dominion [color=gray]- Before she knew it, her frost mastery was sacrificed to upgrade her flames. Grants control over red fire emitted from her body. These flames aren't easily doused by water or lack of breathable air. - She needs to sustain the Hellfire. It wont burn indefinitely by itself, and reverts to normal flame without her input. She herself is immune to Hellfire.[/color] Soul Siphon [color=gray]- Channeling. Requires full concentration (may be stringed along with simple attacks, at best), direct physical contact at the minimum, sped up by overall proximity between the two bodies. Rapidly drains the mana and stamina of one target at a time.[/color][/color] Equipment: [color=fdc68a]Dagger of Destiny [color=gray]- A blunt dagger made of bone. Exerts greater force than it is given.[/color] Norland Scarf [color=gray]- Thick silk scarf coated with a Fire Salamander's blood. Warm to the touch, resistant to slicing.[/color] Leather armor, 4 pieces. [color=gray]- Right-arm gauntlet, knee-length boots, chestplate. Resistant to slicing.[/color] Persistent Primate [color=gray]- An oddly named, oddly designed cold-iron buckler with wooly fur and a primate's face carved on it. Name etched on back.[/color] Magiglass Lens [color=gray]- Extra-durable eyeglasses. Zoom in when infused with mana.[/color] Broken turquoise pendant. Sapphire pendant. Silver ring. [color=gray]× 2. Left ring finger. Left middle finger.[/color] Steel hairpin with amethyst ball tip. Rotten healing potion. [color=gray]- Eight years unused. They don't exactly age like wine. Tastes worse than kombucha. Doesn't heal. Induces gastric purge.[/color][/color] Other: [color=fdc68a]Cedar's aunt. Not by blood, just friends with his father.[/color] [/hider][hider=Changelog (Descending Order / Latest First)] 12:26 PM 11/4/2022 [color=gray]- More specific size on the bloodborne spiders, and a 100-spider control limit.[/color] 4:45 PM 11/2/2022 [color=gray]- Removed item '[color=fdc68a]Jack's letter to Cedar[/color]'. After consulting with [@wierdw], it was concluded that Jack wouldn't have wrote such a letter.[/color][/hider]
