Crimson Company

Just thought you should know that Mel is underweight. If that's what you were going for, sorry, but I just thought you should know.

Crimson Company

Her greasy silver strands swished around her cheeks like an annoying fly, gossamer red thread entwined into the hectic locks. No matter how hard she scrubbed with the grey wash cloth, the blood would not come out of her hair. She had long since brushed her face pink and barely noticeable orange stains were left as the only reminder of the spots of blood that once were. Now she was bent over in the freezing cold, almost tearing her hair out in order to clean it before the first impression. It would be no good to get caught right after a job; the cheating man was quite popular in these parts, or so she’s heard.

Sutton Sipley finally gave up, a rare sight indeed, and stood to her full height. Sipley was not that tall, but there was something hard about her features that made her seem bigger than the average person. The silver-haired woman was just glad that she was left alone most of the time. It was cold outside and Sipley didn’t own a cloak, something she would have to invest in later, if she wanted to survive. She once owned one, but it was torn by a target quite skilled with a dagger not that long ago. The woman wished that his death had been more drawn out to compensate, but the past was the past. It was high time to get moving, anyways, and there was no need to dwell.

When she received the letter, Sipley’s first thought was a flat out no. But with time, she warmed to the idea of stealing from her companions in the middle of the night and slacking slightly while they did the work. Knowing her, Sutton would probably put an effort into it anyways. The meeting point wasn’t so far away, she made sure of that when she took on her last job and had walked the mere hour a while ago. The little town was quiet, peaceful, – Sipley snorted derisively underneath her breath – and all lights were off with the exception of the inn filled with booming laughter. Sipley simply sighed.

The door was pushed open cautiously only after the hard woman had checked extensively around the building to ensure it was not a trap, her job was to kill people after all. She paid no heed to the bartender or the maiden who offered friendly greetings, but instead scanned the room. He wasn’t hard to miss, so she needn’t look as diligently as she did. Stalking closer to him, and his jolly companion, Sipley crossed her arms and leaned onto one foot.

“The name’s Sipley. Are you the oaf I am supposed to be seeing about the letter?”

The Relics

I kept the knowledgeable skill in there but I made her gain it through secrecy and by means based on the means that Frederick Douglass, an African-American slave, used so it should be fairly plausible. If I need to change it, alert me and I will, though I would rather keep her politically smart.

Lavica Nizak

Name:
Lavica Nizak

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Faction/Allegiance:
Offers loyalty to Kalesian Empire due to the gender equality found there

Relic Description:
The Ring of Clout
The beautiful Ring of Clout gives the wearer the ability to transfer and transform one’s energy. When wearing it, Lavica can change her own energy into that of electric currents or heat. With electric currents she can strike down an enemy with lightning and with heat she can melt an opponent’s face off, but it comes with a price. Her strength is limited and runs out quickly, if she uses too much energy, she can fall into a coma or die.

Flaws:
Exhaustion – Lavica is prone to exhaustion when using her powers
Weak – Lavica has almost no body strength and should rather hide than attempt to fight.
No Swords – The poor Nizak girl has absolutely no idea how to handle a sword and should not be given any for the benefit of others’ safety as well as her own.
Regality – Born a noble, Lavica holds herself in a way that the common rabble would not and it is as obvious as hitting someone with a war hammer while shouting ‘I don’t belong here.’

Skills:
Knowledge – While it is forbidden for a woman to learn, Lavica learned in secret by questioning noble boys when they would come over for parties about certain words and that was how she learned to read. Everything else was learned by books in her secret night visits to the manor’s library.
Nimble – While not strong or able in swordsmanship, she is quick and agile which allows her to hit men’s pressure points rapidly and then running as if Hell was on her heels.
Cunning – Lavica is very wily and has proved this a fact in her conning ways when in need of money. She is smarter than the average noble and loves to prove it with sly trickery.
Biography:
Lavica Nizak was born to the prestigious and noble Nizak in Kalnach. As such, her mother and her had no rights and were mere toys for the men of the family to play with. The beautiful Lavica grew up seeing herself as a mere object for her father to sell to the highest bidder through marriage and dowry size. Though it was often looked down upon for women to learn, Lavica tricked boys that would come over for parties in order to learn to read and broke into the library at night to learn by books. Through these books, she gained political insight and her self-worth grew. Instead of loathing herself, she began to loathe the men of Azukhar. She increasingly became a problem for her father as she began to act rebelliously and gave snide remarks when expected to remain silent.
One night, when reading in her favorite armchair, her mother approached her. Her mother had always been beautiful, more beautiful than Lavica which caused envy for the young woman, and confronted her about her unsightly behavior. Lavica fought with her mother over the rights’ of women, or lack thereof, and how awful men were and undeserving they were. Her mother slapped her and said,
“It is not their fault, it was how they were raised. You cannot teach these old dogs new tricks.”
This gave Lavica insight and she realized that men grew up to believe that she and her gender were worthless; it wasn’t their fault. Determined, she promised herself to change the world in order for women to have a better stand. She wanted to model the world after the equality between genders that the Kalesian Empire had founded.
She set about a plan to run away in order to spread her beliefs, but a change of heart came when Lavica received the news that she would be married off. She was disheartened, disgusted, and fell back into the loathing of men that she used to attain when she found out she was to be married to the most vile man she ever met: the atrocious Karkin Hathera. Karkin was a friend of her father’s and twenty years her senior. He reminded her distinctly of oil; smooth and slick, but greasy and disgusting. Lavica would have none of this.
The night before Lavica was to be wed, she snuck into the vault that held her dowry and stole an expensive ring, golden coins, and three diamond necklaces for money. It would only be later that she understood that this expensive ring was, in fact, a relic. Before that, though, Lavica had a plan in mind:
Lavica was going to travel from Kalnach, through Othea, and to Oragos all the while training herself to become a masterful, charismatic woman, in order to take over the country and change the most dastard’s views on women.

Personality:
Lavica is a strong-minded woman who stands for what she believes in and values intelligence, equality, and honesty. Despite this, she is cunning and sly and will resort to trickery in order to get what she wants. When she is not manipulating people, she has the contradictory persona of a blunt woman who speaks her mind and doesn’t care who is offended. Hot-headed and easily-frustrated, Lavica is prone to outbursts and violent, though weak, assaults. Her biggest fault is her pretentious belief that she alone can change the world for women and men, welcoming a new age of parity.

Relations:
She has broken all ties with her family

XD, thanks for re-submitting to the deposit. I do, however, have a small question about Arsenic. If she's immune to any and all forms of poison and acids, wouldn't she be unharmed from emmiting them?

It's more of the process of her body making them. Like, it's more acid than poison in the harming, but you know how we are immune technically to stomach acid, but when there is a lot of it, it still hurts? It's like that and I think that if she used it to a certain point with a certain potency, she could actually die from it because it overrode her immunity, if that makes sense.

Arsenic

Name:
Sylvia Szypowski

Age:
24

Gender:
Female

Codename:
Arsenic

Power:
Poison-Acid Manipulation
Arsenic’s body can generate poison and acid. She can emit it from under her fingernails, out of her eye sockets, through her spit, and by her blood. Every poison or acid to exist is under her arsenal whether it be gas or liquid. Fortunately, she is immune to all poisons and acids. However, she is in constant pain because of the acid and poison. She often cannot deal with the pain of emitting them and therefore avoids using her power at all.

Personality:
Arsenic can be extremely blunt and straightforward. She says what’s on her mind and doesn’t regret it. Opinionated, she stands up for what she believes in and makes it a point to prove she is right. Arsenic can be sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor though she loves pun. A hot-headed person, she often has a hard time reigning in her temper and has to move often because she used her power on someone on accident.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Arsenic is rather intelligent and uses this to her advantage. She fights dirty and does not care if it is considered lowly. Her weakness is her hot-headed nature, her constant pain, and inability to appeal to anyone by charismatic means.

History:
Arsenic, born Sylvia Szypowski, was adopted by a lesbian couple when she was the age of five. Her biological parents had died in a car wreck on their way back from a date when she was only a few months old and that left poor Sylvia homeless. Because of her temper, she was considered one of the lesser options had the adoption center; she was considered lucky to be adopted.

Throughout her life, she was teased mercilessly for having homosexual parents, but Arsenic couldn’t care less. She loved her family whole-heartedly. When she turned twelve, Arsenic discovered she had a beautiful penchant for chemistry and became known in her little town as a prodigy. She would go on to be accepted into Harvard, and on the day of departure, she was nabbed by Obsidian and torn from her family, only nineteen years old.

After Arsenic broke from Obsidian, she desperately wanted to visit her parents again but new she could endanger them and so she began to move from place to place. She could never stay in place long because of her temper and almost had been caught more than once. Afraid to leave a trail, she tried to appear as friendly as possible and, most of the time, successfully remained unsuspicious. Right now she is settled in a city with two calico cats, Hemlock and Belladonna, and works as a waitress at a twenty-four-seven café.

Other:
She chose the name Arsenic because it is considered the “King of Poisons”
