I decided to submit a bio for my necro character rather... it describes her best!
________________________________-
Name: Tanya De Winter
Age: Assumed 26 (actual age unknown)
Race: Vampire
Class: Necromancer/Elementalist
Height: 5'3"
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Physical Description:
___________________
Her medium-length, silver/black tresses reach to her shoulders, the slightly- wavy black-inferno ringlets calling you to reach out and touch them, experiencing their silkiness. Tanya is poised and elegant. This adds to her mysteriousness and increases the aura of intelligence which surrounds her; for she knows that it is better to remain silent and be thought wise than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. She is 5'3" and is slender of build-but curvacious. Although a classic beauty, she relies heavily on her intelligence and nature to win hearts. As you look into her eyes, you can not ascertain what encaptures you and causes you to be lost within the lucid orbs. Still you are drawn in and can not resist the desire to unlock whatever secrets lie hidden in the icy depths.
At first sight Tanya seems unapproachable, exotic and slightly intimidating. Her pale ivory skin strikes an extroardinary contrast with her full colored lips, like someone that has spent much time indoors. She wears a pair of soft leather boots that come slightly up her shins and are the color of black resting on her feet. Her main outfit consisting of a soft and hard leather skirt that flairs around some when she walks. The top of it crossing with intricate weavings on it and a belt to keep it closed and in place.
Tanya 's top is very feminine and leaving most of her front showing off her smooth and flat stomach. It has two thin hard straps with metal rings attached over each shoulder of hers. The rest of the top being made of a soft leather and seen almost like a bikini that crosses slightly with intricate sewings on the leather. An earing in one of her ears as well as a leather necklace around her thin neck to top the outfit off. Both the skirt and the top showing off her curves and figure.
Personality Alignment:
___________________
Although a vampire, she has emotions and thoughts like the average mortal. So essentially she is Chaotic Neutral.
Personality Description:
_____________________
Tanya has experienced time as no mortal has, and in the process eliminated all the essential emotions that makes a being, mortal. Although the personality traits that she has now, is the direct result of discovering her mortality again, even though she is a vampire. Always ambitious and extremely cunning, she is adept at strategy and her artistic nature always seeks the thrill of the moment. Her natural curiosity always lands her in extreme situations and if faced with a choice, would see the good and the bad on both sides of the coin. This in turn can lead her to making difficult decisions, which makes her uncomfortable. If faced with her own failure, she would draw within herself and reject all contact with others until she is ready to sweep it aside.
The few emotions she possesses are anger and love. In her eyes they are one and the same, and often find it difficult to trust people.
Character Powers:
_________________
When she was embraced, she possessed all the qualities that a fledgeling would: Enhanced sight, hearing and touch. She even mastered the ability of Shape-Shifting and can accurately shape-shift into two forms: A wolf, and a hawk. But over the years she started to develop her mental abilities to increased aura perception, and aura shielding. Although Tanya showed a penchant for dark arts and magic. Thus started along the path of occultic lore and chaos magic that involved extreme spells of nature and the universe. In recent, Tanya's necromantic powers have blossomed to horrific new extents, as though some new source of death-energy had arrived in the world. But as with everything she eventually decided to practice these powers with something to safeguard her against these negative energies. And found that love was the ultimate safeguard against being consumed by the darkness that resided within her.
Now, after years of seemingly pointless existence, Tanya finds herself with enough power to challenge the host of new superhumans in the world.
Character Equipment:
_____________________
Scimitar style blade-The 38 1/8" long sword boasts a sweeping "fanged" scimitar-style blade inscribed with magic runes that translate, "death before dishonor." With a hardwood handle, solid metal pommel, rattail tang construction. It magnificently displays an obsidian crystal deeply embedded in the center of the handle and almost has a dark fiery glow to the blade itself, that creates the impression that it was no ordinary sword.
In fact the blade itself contains magical properties and is necromantic in nature. It protects Tanya under extreme cases and seeks blood as payment for its undying devotion to her. The sword itself has the ability to use teleportation and uses mild telepathy to communicate with her, often being the eyes and ears when she is sleeping.
Personal Journal:
We are the many-born. We are the Pure Ones. We have been known by many names throughout the ages, though few have understood the truth of our existence.
Endlessly, we die and are reborn, changed yet unchanging throughout the ages. We move from lifetime to lifetime, taking up bodies as garments.
We are watchers and we are wanderers.
We seek knowledge and understanding above all.
Long ago we strove the sunder the life of our body from our roving minds, for it grounded us. It held us back. It bound us to a single span of days. Through a ritual of death and rebirth, we severed our living ties and gained immortality.
Now we are freed of the life of the body, but we are irrevocably tied to the life we cut away. It sustains us and empowers us.
We thirst for life and we feed upon it.
It is our greatest weakness and our greatest prize.
Eternal, we wander the aeons, moving to the rhythm of our own inner tides.
Freed from the most fundamental of cycles, we are nevertheless beings bound by cycles. Our heightened awareness of ourselves and the world around us forces us to acknowledge natural rhythms that others simply ignore.
As the day waxes and wanes, we can feel it, and we know that the true realm of magick is the night, for that is when we wax in power. As the moon grows gravid and slim, we feel it, and we know, too, that there are more complex rhythms of power tied to her phases. As the wheel of the year turns round, we feel the wild times, the apogees and nadirs of power.
The dark time of the year is our time, as are the threshold times when we celebrate Samhain and Beltane. These days are our Im Kheperu, the Day of Transformation, and our Im Sekhemu, the Day of Double Power. As beings poised on the threshold of many things, the energies of these holidays affect us profoundly. At these times we enjoy our greatest power, but in balance, we also pay a stronger price. Waves of energy rise and fall within us, and when in their grip, our hunger burns.
Forever, we are active elements moving through passive worlds.
Our rules are our own. We accept no others. We define who we are and what we shall become. There is nothing in our lives which we cannot control if we but choose to.
Our memories are carried like gems within our souls. Over the lifetimes they build and crystallize until we can take them out and gaze upon them as we choose.
Life sustains us, but death defines us. We are the many-born. Our conception was in death, and each death now brings us a new beginning, forever without end.
Everything we touch, we change. We take in energy constantly, and although this is how we feed, this energy is never destroyed. Through us, it is transformed. It changes states. It resonates to a higher level.
Yet every birth is accompanied by struggle and pain. Every rebirth is just as painful. It may seem that we bring destruction, chaos, and turmoil to all those around us. And in a sense we do. But the changes are always for the better, even though the initial change may seem terrible.
Change is terrible. It tears away what we've grown comfortable with. It destroys what we find familiar, stable, and simple, leaving uncertainty in its wake. But to face uncertainty and to thrive is to become stronger. Everything must change or die. We are active participants in this universal mystery.
Every person that we come into contact with, no matter how casually, is altered. Wherever we go, change will follow. Our dynamic spirits stretch out all around us, and the wake we leave in our passing is like ripples on the ocean. Only the ripples we cause can become tidal waves.
As beings on a threshhold state, we are living embodiments of the dynamic complimentarity that keeps the universe in constant motion. This is our burden. Yet this also is our purpose. In the gray area between two polar opposites lies revelation. We feed upon all around us. Yet we can also harness that energy to heal. We tear away and bring destruction, yet we also nurture new growth. This is our nature, the mystery of who we are.
There is no rebirth without destruction. Light only blinds without shadow to throw it into relief. Understanding comes from balancing all these things within the Self. We are that Balance. We affect it, and it affects us. We are facilitators of the universal flow. We must accept this, and never fear to move with that flow.
We are neither wholly born nor wholly made what we are. The choice for us to become was made long ago. From that time onward, we have been reborn again and again, carrying within us in every lifetime the seed of what we are.
Sometimes we forget ourselves, and wander our lives like sleepwalkers, only half-aware of our true natures. Yet sleeping or awakened, we are born with the potential for transformation.
Awakening is a process of expanded awareness. Anyone with gifts and talents of a subtle nature undergoes an awakening in their life. This is when they come into their own, finally accepting what has been latent within them since birth. For us, the process can be traumatic, as the existence we awaken to opens us up to a host of strange thoughts, sensations, and experiences which lie outside the limits accepted even by other Awakened.
Awakening is the alchemical forge in which we are transformed from dross to spiritual gold. It is the recalling of a part of our Selves that has become clouded over time. It is becoming more than the little self of this lifetime, grasping the totality of who we were and who we are to be -- our Essential Self.
Some of us have greater potential than others. Some are born with an instinctive understanding of their potential and they may gradually come to realize that potential on their own. They recall without prompting and their power is great.
The bulk of our number are born ignorant to what they are. As they grow and mature, there are subtle hints of the latent power, but fear and self-doubt generally keep these from being acknowledged and accepted. Such as these must be awakened to their true selves by another of our number already familiar to our ways...the Elders.
It is here that I end my thoughts in hope of seeking those that oppose us.
And eventually destroy them.
