[XERIA]

XERIA

Human Form

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Orientation: Heterosexual

Race: Raven Hanyou

Occupation: Unemployed (for now).

Looks Aren't Everything

Birthmark(s): A small, bean-shaped mark on her hip.

Scar(s): She has small scars over her arms and legs which she keeps covered. But she has a massive x-shaped scar over her left side. One slash goes from her collar bone down to the small of her back. The other goes from the front of her hip to the left shoulder blade.

Appearance: Her human appearance is that of a normal seventeen year-old girl. She has violet hair that she keeps in a fashionably messy style with longer side-bangs and a short back. Her eyes are a very light rosy-brown. She's on the shorter side, at 5'5", and has a slender 'cute' build to go with her high pitched and rather childish voice. Her eyes always look friendly and inviting, and she's always got a faint smile on her pale face. She looks delicate but is very sturdy.

Xeria is normally dressed in a type of hooded tube top. The bottom of the shirt is framed with gold and rests just below her breasts, and covers her shoulders completely. There is then long sleeves of the shirt that end by quickly forming a large wrist hole, think of a kimono, kind of sleeve. Then forming from the shoulders and a slightly deep v-cut, a hood comes up to cover her head. Normally when she has it up you can only see from her nose down. The shirt is lined with gold and the main fabric colors are a dark red, with gold and black designs over it. Then around her waist she wears mini shorts. They are plain black with a gold rope tied around her waist to hold her sword. Then to top it all off she wears long black leggings that don't cover her feet, instead they extend to her ankle then wrap around the middle of her foot and they extend to about six inches below her shorts.

On her left side, she has a scar in the shape of an x. One cross goes from the front of her hip bone on the left side so the left shoulder blade. The other goes from her right collar bone to the back of her left hip. Her arms and legs that are covered with her sleeves and boots, are riddled with smaller scars.

As for her demon form, she lacks the full demon blood to turn completely, so she keeps a relative human form. However three small horns (aka thorns) sprout on either side of face, on her cheek bones under her eyes. Her eye color changes to blood red. From her back she sprouts raven-type wings with reptilian influence. The armature of the wing is covered in black scales, like a snake's but from the rest of the wing jet black feathers grow. The wings span about 20 feet combined. Her hair grows longer and reaches down to about her waist. Her nails grow longer into claws.

What's Beneath the Skin

Personality: Xeria has a childish hostility about her. She's very polite but there's always that very faint line with her that you can almost see. Pushing that line will make her a tad cross and the childishness drops a bit to a more demanding and mature ego. However if you break that line you're in for it. She transforms into a more powerful demon form. However some may find her creepy, as she can make a kill and her childish, happy-go-lucky attitude won't even flicker. Despite her childish stature and blood-thirsty dark side, she's a social butterfly. She talks a lot and often rambles, sometimes even talking to herself.

She personally sees this whole demons reining over all of Japan thing rather silly. To her she's the only one in charge of her and she never bows to anyone. She's very much an "I'll do what I want, when I want, how I wanna do it" girl. So of course this brings up the point that she is sensationally stubborn. When she sets her mind to something she finds it hard to focus on much else. She's also got a rather quick temper.

She's very hostile toward humans and anything with human blood. If you're half-demon she'll tolerate you, but only because of the demonic side of you. She can normaly hold herself together around humans, but you know us right? We just enjoy pressing people's buttons.

Strengths:

• Skilled Marksman - She fights mainly with bow and arrow and over the years as mastered it fairly well, thought she's not so good as an older master.
  
• Flight - When she's transformed she can fly. This allows her to attack and stay out of reach.
  
• Her Personality - She can often fool others into thinking she's just an innocent little girl.

Weaknesses:

• She breaks down and can anger easily.
  
• Her marksmanship skills are wonderful and she rarely misses, however despite her wielding a sword, she's really not that great as close-combat. So she's pretty screwed if you get close to her.
  
• Her flight, while a blessing, is also a curse. She can't maneuver as fast in the air and with her wings she becomes a bigger target. Long range weapons become her enemy while in flight.

Fears:

• Bugs! If you're a bug demon or are holding a bug, you will be quickly beaten then asked questions later.
  
• Falling in love with a human. She's not afraid of love, she just isn't too proud of the human blood in her. She despises most humans and fears that her family lineage may end up leading her to follow the pattern and love another one who's blood is tainted.

Being a Part of Me

Items: Her weapons mainly. She also wears a necklace on a golden chain that was given to her by her full demon father. She keeps it as something to cherish her father. She has nothing of her half-demon mother, as she despises her for the human blood that she had.

Weapons:

• Bow & Arrow :: Her bow is black and slender with golden designs weaving around it. In the middle it pinches in and is wrapped with golden twine. Her arrow pouch matches her bow and she harbors both pure silver and pure black arrows, used to conceal them depending on what time of day it is.
  
• Sword :: She has a simple katana with the standard silver blade. The metal in the handle is golden with the manta ray skin wrapped around the handle, then the black covering wrapped around that. The sheath is simple and black.
  
• Wires :: She has wires that she can attach to her fingers that she fights with. They are very thin and hard to see, and also very sharp. This is the only of her weapons she has completely mastered.

Abilities:

• Inabikari - Basically she harbors bowling-ball sized wads of lightning between her hands and rockets them toward her opponent. They do damage but aren't that powerful. They're more of a stunning or stinging type attack. She can rapid fire these.
  
• Chiraido - A massive explosion of lightning and thunder that she releases by firing an arrow loaded with the strike. It simply has a small blue flame on it, but when it hits it explodes with the previously stated lightning and thunder.
  
• Red Lightning - She calls down huge pillars of lighting that she can somewhat aim. She can use them to distract and hide to attack her enemy. The lightning bolts are blood red and screech as they rocket toward the earth.

Flaws:

• Inabikari - While she can rapid fire these without much effect on herself, these are only stun-type attacks. They won't do much damage and if the enemy is strong enough, they probably won't even feel it.
  
• Chiraido - It takes a bit to load the magic into the arrow, so if she misses or is being under constant attack it can be hard for her to bring this about.
  
• Red Lightning - She can only preform this in her transformed demon stage. She doesn't have a lot of control over the lightning, so she has a high risk of being hit as well. When the attack is over ,it's sapped all of her remaining magic and she falls unconscious. So if the enemy is still able to move after it, she's in deep trouble.

From Whence I Came

Family:
Bartoth: Father. He was a pure lightning demon. She loved her father dearly and he is still alive, she just as no idea where.

Amilika: Mother. She was a half-demon. Xeria always hated her. She despised her mother for the human blood and she despised her mother for tainting her. Xeria's, blood with humans. Her mother is dead.

History: When Xeria was born, her father was seldom around, and she was raised by her mother in a human village. She was met with constant hostility because of her human blood and she responded by retaliating the hostility right back at the humans. She soon came to hate all humans. Her mother tried to steer her away from the feelings, but Xeria knew her mother was half human, her hate extending to her as well.

When Xeria reached around six years old, her father returned to them and she grew to adore her full demon father. She forgave him for being with the wretched half-demon and humans. Her father taught her to use her weapons and how to fight, as well as the beginnings of his more simple lightning magic.

Later this proved to be a mistake. As a war grew near their home, her father set off to fight. Set on going with him, she tried to escape the village. Her mother, however, held her back. She tried to stop her and this sent Xeria over the edge. Her mother snapped that fragile string holding Xeria together. She attacked her mother and watched as she fell, dead, at her feet. Ignoring the blood that had spattered over her body and clothes, Xeria fled into the rain after her father. She never found him.

She grew up on her own, teaching herself to fight and to live. She would slip into villages and buy food and clothes and repair her weapons with money she'd stolen from fallen travelers. This life went on for years until she finally emerged from the forests for good.

While she still slept in the forests, pretending she had a house hidden there, she came down to the village every day. She was well known to everyone, and she developed her childish personality here.

When she reached the age of fifteen she set off on her own, telling everyone that she had a 'special someone' waiting for her in a village far away. This, of course, was a lie. She set off fighting every demon she encountered, building up her strength.

She now lives in the shadows of the forest, hoping from village to village again. She still retains her hostility for humans, and while she acts pleasant when her true form is hidden, she's very touchy.

Blood has become a constant part of her life as well as a constant nightmare. She's always reminded of her mother, laying at her feet and the fear of what her father would think if they ever met again.

How You Play

RP Sample: The trees of the forest stood tall and proud around Xeria. Her pale skin was looking molten under the scattered shadows of the leaves. She was very near a village now, and so her hood was pulled up over her head, hiding her violet hair and rosy-brown eyes behind a wall of shadow.

As the village came into view her soft lips curved up into a slight smirk and a high pitched chuckle escaped her throat. She had to fight the urge to rush down and go on a rampage through the village. Instead she walked briskly to the edge of the forest, then down the grassy hill to the main road. She felt the soft grass change to hot dirt against her bare soles and winced slightly. Freakin' sun.

"Hi!" a small group of children waved at her from a dirty street as she entered the village gates. She put on a grin and waved excitedly over to them, hiding her disgust for humans, but unable to really hide her love of young.

"Hello, little ones," she said in her very high voice, "Do you happen to know where I can get a sword repaired?" Their looks of confusion as to why such a young girl would need a sword repaired made her backtrack. "You see, there's this guy I owe, and this is his sword. So I need to get it fixed for him," she said, winking at them. Understanding of her lie flickered over their small faces and they pointed her in the right direction. She waved a thank you and bounced off in the direction they'd pointed.

As she rounded a corner, she pulled back to a walk, the small smirk replacing itself on her face, her eyes smoldering in the shadows.

Alrighty, I just have a few things.

• For the Personality, you're just shy of 200 words. Add one or two more sentences, and that should be all good.

That's it! After that, you should be perfectly fine!

[REDEMPTION]

Accepted.
