APPEARANCE:
A "young" woman with a tired look about her and no flush to her brown skin. Mixed race white and Chiricahua Apache. Back-length black-brown hair; honey-brown eyes. 5'8" (173cm) and slender, without well-defined muscles. Distinctive features: a burn scar on her right calf, and a subtle sense of something predatory
ABOUT:
A priest within a Gnostic order of vampires who fight the not-so-sanctioned fight against their more predatory kind. short write-up | way too long write-up
ABILITIES:
✧ undead physiology: immunity to poison and disease; reduced damage from attacks that aren't flesh-cleaving ✧ vampiric senses: hear heartbeats and smell blood at range; natural night vision ✧ expend consumed blood to rapidly heal wounds, or give minor physical boost ✧ ecstasy-producing bite ✧ blood-binding and ghouling: naturally addictive blood that also produces increasing levels of obsession in the drinker; mortals can consume blood to become "ghouls" with limited vampire abilities [will only use any of this under extreme circumstances] ✧ enhanced speed (requires blood) ✧religious ritual magic
OTHER:
Weaknesses: ✦ fire ✦ sunlight (will be downplayed for playability) ✦ staking: puts her into vulnerable stasis ("torpor") ✦ beheading: straight-up final death kills her ✦ frenzy: a berserker state resulting from overwhelming hunger, anger, or fear (especially of fire/sunlight); her resistance is good but it's still possible ✦ "predator's taint": lightly pings mortals and/or humans as something dangerous/predatory ✦ dependent on blood to function and to heal (animal blood works, but only weakly)
