Appearance
Name: Tatiana
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Class: Brawler
Race: Ghouls
Age: 34 (looks to be in her early 20’s)
Gender: Female
Height/Weight: 5’8/156 Ibs
Eye Color: Dull Red (brown in life)
Hair Color: Black
Physical Appearance : A distinct feature are her long bangs that covers over her right eye. The back of her hair has grown longer so that reaches to the back of her neck. On the outside, she is considered a cute, normal girl that one wouldn't suspect of being a ghoul. She often wears a long coat of dull crimson, leather boots, and a dark red scarf. She possesses a rather lithe build, little in the ways of curve and sports a B cup.
Personality: Tatiana has a rash attitude that comes from having to live a hard life and due partly to the event of her death. As a turned ghoul, she has revealed a more reckless and ruthless personality full of hatred for the living due to an inborn jealousy. Her time in undeath has warped her mind, causing her to see humans as little more as inferior creatures and a source of food. Though she is not above toying with her prey. Because of the circumstances of her death, she especially despises men. She can be described as a socio-psychopathic killer.
Abilities:
Ghoul Physiology- Due to her curse of undeath having succumbed to Ghoul fever, Tatiana has become a ghoul; creatures associated with death, cannibalism, and degeneracy granting her a form of supernatural condition. This disease has granted Tatiana several unique traits. Physically Tatiana is stronger than the average human by some degree, though this is more to do with her mind no longer placing self restraint on itself. Allowing her to exert the maximum potential of her body without fear of self injury. Thus she can punch through preson with her bare hands, or hold a full grown man aloft with one arm.
Speed wise Tatiana is slightly faster than the norm for humans on two legs, making her the equal of an Olympic runner, but can reach speeds of 60 mph in a sprint on all fours. Her reflexes are notably superior to a human's, granting her superhuman agility allowing her to be extremely agile. She also boasts the strange ability to adhere to nearly any surface much like a spider allowing her to climb very easily.
Her durability is unsurprisingly vastly superior to a mortal, as she does not require internal organs to function. A dull kitchen knife (not designed for combat) would break against her skin. She can still be dispatched by the removal of her head, or by disembowelment, the layer of skin over her stomach not being unnaturally as tough as the rest of her. Her senses have been enhanced, but more notably her sense of smell. She can detect specific persons, objects, substances or even places, locate their origin and track with nothing but her nose.
Beast Within- Normally Tatiana does not benefit from the attributes above (aside from her heightened sense of smell.) possessing rather basic human capabilities with a slight increase to her reflexes and her lack of ability to feel pain still allows her to abuse her strength. However, when enraged her mind altars to that of a deranged killer with animalistic ferocity. Heightened hearing, smell, eyesight, and durability as stated above fully awaken. Her muscles visibly tighten as movements become more instinctual and forceful, her eyes becoming pitch milky black with red irises. Her posture also reflects a crouching to protect sensitive areas. The drawbacks are an expelling of human self. She becomes something else, something that could be called cruel and sadistic. Something vicious and possessing no mercy. In this form her claws and canines extend becoming as hard as steel and as sharp as obsidian, possessing the unique trait of growing back rapidly. Tatiana always struggles with this other half of her, only giving into it when her unlife is threatened.
Darkvision- Due to her state of undeath, Tatiana is capable of seeing in a black and white perception when void of any light sources. Allowing her to see in the dark about 60 feet away.
Healing factor- Tatiana can heal wounds or even reattach lost limbs (though not grow them back). This healing takes hours however, thus it is not a ability one can rely on during combat.If Tatiana manages to consume or imbibe flesh, especially human flesh, her healing factor kicks in, allowing her to heal all but he most severe wounds in a minute or so.
Skills:
Tatiana utilizes an unusual mix of self-learned boxing, grappling and wrestling techniques, but possesses a strong fondness for mauling her opponents after a take down, making stern use of her surrounding environment whenever possible and hatefully straggling her adversaries. Known back in her own plane in the Iron Kingdoms for parrying melee blows with her twin cestus and forcibly relieving opponents of their armaments using her titanic dynamism, elevated reflexes and supernatural speed and agility. Those that have survived this ghouls savage onslaughts and animalistic murderous zeal often come to describe her as a shameless cheat and a soulless fighter with a self-destructive lack of personal honor--but begrudgingly come to acknowledge her capacity for unadulterated destruction, her acute resourcefulness and her general efficiency as a skirmisher despite her street urchin past.
Armament:
Duel Cestus- The ancient cestus was used by gladiators in Tatiana’s plane like a glove, to bludgeon and brutalize their opponents into submission. These bladed skull cestus take that design and enhances it, giving it a kick of brutal and Gothic design. This weapon consists of a simple backing that rests against the wearers hands and is secured in place by a wrist strap, as well as finger-loops. The backing features a wicked bleeding skull design that hides a fire-styled throwing dagger, while the sides are pierced by several ring loops for added decoration. The finger loops are attached to plates that are adorned with stainless steel spikes, while two large stainless steel blades arch over the hand and extend out like claws, ready to rip and shred through anything Tatiana takes a disliking to. This glove measures approximately 11.5 inches long, while its bladed appendages have an overall length of 9 inches. Having spent such a long time absorbing the raw nether necromantic energies from their wielder, these Cestus’s react much the same way as enchanted weapons do. Allowing Tatiana to use them like natural weapons to harm incorporeal enemies while giving them unnatural durability.
The blades can be discreetly extended or retracted from a mechanism worn on the user's wrist, utilized in conjunction with a protective bracer over the forearm.
Special trait:
Mohrg- A ghoul possess a predatory organ that functions as their weapon and claws called a mohrg. It is red as blood and flexible like the flow of water (Also called liquid muscle.), but firm and sturdy physically resembling elongated human tongues. When released, a ghoul's physique is strengthened, they are more resilient and their mobility heightens. A mohrg is composed of Rc cells, which flow just like blood, can become as solid as teeth and can be described as "liquid muscles". The Rc cells are released from piercing trhough the skin, and the released Rc cells form the mohrg. A mohrg can be repeatedly hardened and softened at will by the ghoul. Tatiana has her mohrg located at the small of her back. Releasing them forces her to unleash her ghoul nature, thus she loses her sense of reason becoming unpredictable. She has four Mohrg in all, each with the maximum length of approximately 22 feet. The can mend themselves when damaged, but such takes a number of rounds (at least 3) depending on the nature of the wound. Titania requires three preps to unleash her mohrg.
History: Tatiana’s story is a sad and tragic one. A series of events not unlike a slowly unfolding train wreck. Born in a realm of the Iron Kingdoms, Tatiana lived the life of a mortal adventurer in her time before becoming a ghoul. (more to come in time, likely reveal IC over time)
