Name: Nora Ducane
Age: 125(Looks around 25ish)
Race: Darkling
Fraction: Rebellion
Appearance: Most people look at and think of Nora as a harmless human, given how fragile she seems, but really she is quite the rare being. She isn’t the dainty type of girl and rarely is seen in the type of clothes most girls are. Normally she wears loose fitting jeans and a dark colored tank top, with a black hooded jacket normally thrown over top her clothes. During the day, when she is around camp, her hair is always let loose and down, but is put in a ponytail when gone on raids. It is bleach blond, almost white, and goes down just to the top of her shoulders. Despite her being outside quite a bit, Nora's skins stays fairly pale. This makes her blue eyes always seem brighter than they really are. She wears a locket around her neck that once belonged to her mother. It is silver angel wings that are curled up in the shape of a heart. It has been passed down from generation to generation and was given to her just before her mother died of old age.
Nora often wears knuckless gloves on her hands to help keep people from noticing the burn on her right hand. It doesn’t do much to hide it, though, it does help slightly. Not many people can see it, but she also has a tattoo on the back. It is of angels wings that look like the feathers are dying off of them. She got it a couple decades after Asa was bound to her.
Personality: Nora walks a fine line of boarding between insane and being a extremely tactical person. She is very intelligent and knows how to manipulate things in her favor. She has a real way with words, this with a mixture of her innocent looks, usually allows her to get what she wants. Nora often can be seen talking to herself a lot, but the truth of the matter is, she isn't really talking to herself. She is actually talking to the demon bound to her soul, Asa. They have an interesting relationship, to say the least. It isn't exactly a romantic relationship at the moment, but it isn't normal or lacking any flirtatious teasing. They are possibly in love with each other, but Nora will deny it whenever it is brought up, even though Asa knows her every thought and desire. It is because of all this that she loves to make him jealous whenever given the chance. If pushed too far, Asa will bring up memories of their awkward moments together to make her stop. He toys with her in return and will often constantly chatter just to annoy her. It is a love/hate relationship really. Deep down she would do anything if he asked, but plays it off like she wouldn't. She is very flirtatious with everyone she meets, no matter if it is a woman or a man.
Weapons/Enchanted Item: The Chain of Fire: This is Nora's primary weapon of choice. It is a lightweight, spiked chain, with a 5inch long steel blade at the end of it. It lights on fire whenever she wishes it to and will burn everyone upon touching it, except for herself. It is normally wrapped around her upper torso when not is use.
History: Nora and her sister Emma were born in Berlin Germany in 1889. Her father was a studier of literature and myths, and her mother was a nurse. She grew up like any other child in Germany did. It wasn't the easiest life, but a decent one none the less. It wasn't until her mid 20s that her life changed forever. It was World War 1, her father had been drafted into battle like many other men in the country were and her mother a nurse at the nearest encampment of soldiers, leaving Nora and her sister to fend for themselves. They were doing well, that is, until Emma fell sick a few weeks after their mother left.
At first it started out as a simple cold, but it never went away and steadily got worse over time. Soon she could hardly walk or even eat anything. Nora racked her brains for weeks on what she could do, but knew they didn't have the money for anything. She had looked through many of the books her father had one medicine, but he had little in regards to that. One book in particular that she found wasn't quite about medicine, instead it was on German witchcraft and rituals. She paid the book little attention at first. What use would she get out of that? However, when Emma started losing weight faster and faster, Nora couldn't help but look to the ritual book out of desperation. After a few days of reading, she soon found a particular ritual to summon a demon, who would trade you anything you wanted in return for allowing them to attach their soul to your own. At least that is what she thought it said. She normally didn't believe in such things and she didn't exactly understand everything, but one did crazy things in desperate times.
After some more thinking, Nora carefully drew up the symbol needed for the ritual on the floor, cutting her hand with a shard of rock to use her blood. She crawled into it and for hours struggled to say the words in the book. After the better part of a day of trying to say the spell, Nora began to give up hope, but finally a voice whispered back to her. It startled her at first and made her pause and wonder if she was just going crazy. Surprisingly enough she wast. When the voice spoke to her it already seemed to know exactly what she wanted and gave her a simple choice; infuse her soul with his and save her sister or watch her slowly die. Nora took the deal without even thinking about it, not realizing what it was going to cost her or how painful is was going to be. Upon agreeing to the bargain, it started, the pain of the demon's soul twisting with hers. To this day she has never felt such pain in her life. The demon held true on his part of everything, but not in the way Nora thought.She expect him to heal Emma right away, but instead after her turning, he instructed her to feed Emma some of her blood, then kill her. Nora was blown away by his instructions and refused to do so at first. However, he quickly reminded her the only option her sister had was death. In the end, her sister was changed an hour or so later.
Once they realized what they had become, Nora and Emma left their parents out of fear that they may harm them by accident. They also didn't want them to know what the two of them were either. The demon started speaking more regularly to her soon after her turn and told her everything she had become and the consequences that came with it. He also filled her in on what her sister had now become as well. Since then she has roamed the earth, hiding the true creature she was from everyone, and trying to stay sane despite the demon in her head. She split ways with Emma in the 90s, but they still speak to each other when they can.
After a time, she grew sick of hiding in the shadows from the fragile humans. Every day of her life, she had to hide what she was and pretend she was normal like everyone else. Just keeping a job made her lie about almost everything in her life. It wasn't exactly easy to explain to your boss why you would randomly start talking to yourself when you were suppose to be working. Things were hard enough when you had a demon in your head, she didn't want to worry about having to hide she wasn't human on top of things. Why did supernatural beings have to hide for their sake, was her thought process on it. In 2009 she found and quickly joined the rebellion to go public about the supernatural world and has been aiding them ever since.
Name: Asa
Species: Demon
Appearance: Asa in the form of what Nora finds most attractive. He looked into her deepest desires and transformed his appearance to meet those desires. He stands at a fairly tall height of 6'5 and has a well built physique. His raven colored hair is long enough to cover his ears. It often sweeps across his face and over his eyes, causing him to constantly brush it out of the way. His skin is very gaunt, but is very smooth to Nora and lacking of any scars what so ever. He usually appears in a white button up shirt and dark jacket over top of it.
Personality: He finds Nora both irritating and absolutely fascinating, just as she does with him. His soul is driven to cause destruction and make her do dark things, but it is Nora that makes part of him care for her above what is supposed to be his true nature. Of course his love will never out beat his true being, but part of him at least wishes it could. He knows she enjoys torturing him and this is what generally makes him irritated. He cant stand her touching or being intimate with other people, which is something she does often. He likes annoying her in times when he is mad at her. He will talk about nothing in particular for hours just to make her feel annoyed. He also like to force her to remember moments between the two of them where they kissed when he is feeling particularly feisty. It causes her to become irritated and that is the part that is extremely fun to him.
