I suppose that should bring this character to level 1, so I’ll put up a profile for that. If not I’ll just take out the little bits for the level one update.))

Name— Antionette Corallini (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e238/TaintedTruth/samuraisword.jpg)
Gender— Female
Race— True Vampire
Age— Ageless/Unknown
((Though she is ageless her maturity looks to be early to mid-thirties))
Height— 5’ 5”
Weight— 130 lbs
Eyes— Cherry
Hair— Platinum Blonde
Occupation—
Diabolist: A diabolist’s main goal is not to be the pawn of a devil, the mere henchmen to power, but to become a demon themselves. This lust for power affects all aspects of their lives, including their personal relationships with people.

Appearance/Characteristics— Antionette is the epitome of vampire. Her gentle curves, smooth milky skin, and pristine white teeth are what all vampires should be expected to look like. However, unlike the diseased vampires, Antionette is a pure breed, pure blood unlike the others. Her vampire teeth never retract, but are cautiously covered by her thin, blue lips.

Her eyes are a light red, sometimes pink in color; she refers to it as rose most often. Her eyes are very vibrant, and immaculate. Her flesh is a light hue of moonlight blue and milky white. Her form is not as impressive as the rest of Althanas, no huge breasts but close to perfect dimensions for her size.

Antionette personally has small things from her point of view also. Her blood is extremely thick and flows very little; it is a deep black color also. Her flesh and body is as cold as ice and the average temperature is around fifty degrees. Her bite is ecstasy to those bitten ((only up to two levels higher)), and fills her with the lust for more (must be overcome by the vampiress). When she feeds her eyes become clouded as well, like cataracts. Finally she sees the world in monotonous colors, except for reds which are much more vivid in contrast to the other colors. Hence her love for the color.


Personality Traits—
+|+ Haughty ----- Ah the bastion of the noble’s mind, the haughty and often overconfident nature of their aristocratic upbringing. Antionette has been hated and scorned by the lesser casts for her portentous attitude towards them, but in her mind there is nothing higher than the love of wealth and the casting down of peons.

+|+ Greedy ----- She holds dear the love of material possessions. Money begets power, in her eyes, and woe is on the one who speaks otherwise. The vampiress has a serious problem with the lust for monetary gains, the desire for wealth, and the power that is often accompanied by them.

+|+ Scornful ----- Antionette is a very hateful person. Not many earn her trust, and still fewer are given that ‘sweet side’ that the rest believe non-existent. Friends are a hazard and nothing more then blocks on the road to conquest, in her eyes. To become a friend, much less garner the lighter side of her often hate-filled heart, is an accomplishment of its own degree.

+|+ Conflict-seeking ----- Trouble would be Antionette’s middle name, if she wanted one. She often finds herself in fights, in conflicts of many sorts, whether my accident (hardly) or on purpose (most likely). The vampiress may not be the best fighter, but she is far from helpless against a foe.

+|+ Graceful ----- It abounds from the woman, touching everything that has to do with her. Grace and charm, she has enough of the two to drown an elephant. Though charm is rarely exhibited, due to the fact that she is more or less the epitome of loathing, grace is expressed through all aspects of her life. From fighting, when she seems to flow and dance as she attacks, to simply walking, when she seems to glide across any surface as if it was marble, Antionette is poise.

Items—
+|+ Clothes ----- The clothes of the vampiress are far from acceptable among the throngs of society. Long ago Antionette once wore the garb of the noble life. She owned a throng of dresses ranging from the most revealing to the most tight and closed. All was black, as is her style. However time had given her something else. Tattered rags remain where once a grand abundance of clothes were.


Weapons—
+|+ Cursed Blade (http://www.oriental-weaponry.co.uk/acatalog/AW441.jpg) {Locked} ----- Twenty-nine inch steel blade, etched demonic runes, solid steel handle and pommel, smooth and polished human bone handle…

+|+ [5] Double-sided throwing blade (http://www.loveleaf.net/ts/image/GRYK22TS.jpg) ----- One foot overall, each blade is four inches with a four inch handle between them, metal goes all the way through and wrapped in cloth then leather.

Armor—
+|+ Ancient Battle Suit ----- Antionette’s prized suit that she used when going into battle, or when she generally did not feel like looking the part of the ‘lady’ anymore. It is a full length suit made of mixture of brushed suede leather, ramie, and rayon. Rayon and ramie base, off white in color, with ‘pin stripes’ of black suede leather. Strength is equal to what would be tier 2 for cloth… ((Rayon: “has many of the qualities of cotton, a natural cellulose fiber. Rayon is strong, extremely absorbent, comes in a variety of qualities and weights, and can be made to resemble natural fabrics. Rayon does not melt but burns at high temperatures.” Ramie: “is natural white in color, has a high luster and an unusual resistance to bacteria and molds. Used in fabrics, and often mistaken for linen, it is extremely absorbent and dries quickly. Ramie has excellent abrasion resistance and has been tested to be three to five times stronger than cotton and twice as strong as flax. It is an inexpensive fiber from an East Asian plant and can be spun or woven into a fabric.”))

Racial Strengths
+|+ Strength
+|+ Dexterity
+|+ Speed
+|+ Acute Senses
----- I’m going to explain these all at once, since they are so easily explained. Being that Antionette is a rather… weak vampiress at the moment, her skills as a vampire are sorely lacking. Slumber sapped much of that though. As she grows stronger they will slowly re-exert themselves within her though.
((Formula for skills as follows: (average person attributes) x (level). So at level 1 her skills are at average, at level 2 she will be twice as fast at average and so on. However, the skills will never ‘naturally’ advance (through this equation alone) beyond 3 times.))

+|+ Immortality ----- Being a vampire has its perks. There is hardly any way that a true vampire can die. Though it is not impossible, or improbable, that anyone could kill a vampire there are specific ways they can die. First and what matters most is that a vampire must feed. If a vampire does not suck the blood of a something, be it animal or some humanity, at least once every three days then it will die. For a rich and fruitful life, filled with usual vampire strength and powers, the vampire must feed once a day at least.

The next way a vampire may die is when put into light or attacked by a powerful divine spell. Fire will also do a vampire in, engulfed in flames is the worst way to go but will destroy a weak vampire without remorse or thought. The other ways they may be killed is by destroying the vampire’s heart or head. A sword through the head or heart can kill just as easily for a vampire as for a human.

Racial Weaknesses
+|+ Divinity ----- Vampires, undead, brothers and sisters of the dark all have a reaction to spells or abilities relating to a divine source. As it stands Antionette will be hurt nearly the same as if she brushed her hand through sunlight. It will burn, cuts will cauterize, and the pain will be severe.

+|+ Sunlight ----- As with all true vampires, weak or strong, the vampiress is extremely vulnerable to sunlight. Though she takes precautions to stay out of the sun, if the worst ever did occur it would take a mere minute for her entire body to burst into a short flame before turning to ash. As she become stronger her resistance to the sun will grow also, however. Being one of the true blood vampires, born to her fate, will make it near impossible to ever be in the sunlight without dying or gaining a serious burn for her trouble.

Skills/Abilities
+|+ Demon Tongue ----- Time and time again her well versed abyssal has been called into question. The skill was originally learned so that the ancient grimories that she found in pre-damned Fallien would actual be of use. Abyssal is a rather gruesome language, spoke by most demons of the ‘old tongue’, all devils, and anything else that has ancient connections with the ‘language of the flame’ as it has been called.

+|+ Swordsmanship ----- Years of use of her tainted sword has given Antionette quite a way with her weapon. She is easily capable of wielding the weapon, quickly and dangerously, or slowly and calculatingly. It does not matter which way she chooses to kill, for the target will die.
Above Average

+|+ Throwing Proficiency ----- Antionette is able to wield her throwing blades well. Practice and determination have given her more then a sure shot with the weapons.
Above Average

[Size=1] Magic
+|+ Demonology ----- Demonology is the magic surrounding the naming, understanding, and summoning of demon’s. Through the study of grimories the caster, often a warlock, is able to dispel, seal away, summon, and control demons of different levels. The most powerful demonologist’s branch from demon’s to devils, working their powerful magic to trap devils and wield the power of the abyss.

For Antionette the seals are already known, as all her magic is, it is just a matter of regaining what centuries of slumber have worn away. As her strength comes back the seals come back, seals which are literally apart of her. Markings in the forms of tattoos were once across the woman’s body, magical symbols summoned and cast from tombs of grimories. When one appears demons with the strength equal to that seal are able to be captured again. Only one demon may be captured ‘within’ the seal and summoned at will, the seal will act as a deterrent or weakening spell when demons of that level or lower are within a certain area around Antionette.

((The Area of affect for seals for demons equal to or weaker then Antionette is a radius of thirty yards in all directions.))

----- Abyssal Seal’s -----
[Level] [Tattoo representation / Name in Abyssal] --- Description
[1] [Ra’ill] (http://www.zhippo.com/HyperspaceStudiosHOSTED/images/gallery/fish-tattoo-M.jpg) --- The seal’s activation gives Antionette the ability to trap a single demon. The demon can be no higher then the level of the seal. Currently no demon is trapped.
+|+ Fog of War ----- It is the only spell that the vampire was able to learn. It affects the area around her, allowing her to cast a thick fog that lasts for quite a while (ten minutes or about ten posts in a battle). Though she cannot see through it either, neither can her opponent. It covers an area of thirty feet by thirty feet and rises up to forty.

History—

“I… I remember.

“Things have changed, things had moved. When I was alive a grave distrust had been commonplace. The world was no so… desolate.

“I was the bringer of woe, the whisper from the shadows, the dissenter. People were used by me, cities and leaders were toppled by my ideas, by my goals. Destruction was my game, Fallien was my playground.

“Vampires were just beginning on the island nation. Thriving too. We had a place with plenty of… livestock to call our own. I was part of an original ten on the island, true vampires, born vampire, not these despicable and rather pathetic excuses that Althanas sees nowadays. I was born of the original carrier of the disease. In my blood courses the burning virus, from my life-force countless have spawned.

“Life was simple for the original ten. Being class one vampires in a society of fools made the world that much simpler. We were strength. We were desire. The simple thought us gods, the common feared us, and the affluent desired to be us. We were the apex of humanity, or at least the highest point on the food chain that any single being could hope to go. We thought we were gods.

“Then it turned again.

“When in a life of decent and decadence you would never believe that such ideals could turn against you. Power, prestige, pleasure, they played on our conscious constantly. Pieces of the island had been allotted to the original Trump Society. Each of us had split to our different ways, invulnerable to the people, satisfied with ourselves and our influence. But greed knows no bounds. I was the first to be struck, being the supposed ‘weakest’ of the bunch.

“Apparently the greedy bastards! They could not settle with the riches, the spoils of the lifestyle. They became bored! Of all idiotic ideas… a vampire, an immortal tiring of a life of power! Whatever a virus was given to me, a virus that inflicted true pain through my veins. My very blood, the very life-force that flowed within was attacked directly. The virus of vampirism was torn and attacked by my very ‘brother’ of the darkness. However, my power was gravely misunderstood and misjudged.

“Darkness guided my hands.

“Rituals kept the anti-virus, as I had come to believe it was, at bay. However, the price I paid was slumber, a deep and indefinite sleep of the damned. Luckily my brother’s, and sister’s too, thought that it was my demise also… or so I suppose. In my crypt I was left alone, left to my farce.

“It was not until now that you woke me, that you cast your dark rituals to resurrect the dead… though dead I was not.”

Racial strengths is fine for now, but I anticipate it might have to be weakened, or tweaked to effect only one or two characteristics. But that's when you level.

Anyway, seems fine. The fog lasts a long time, but I'm not an ass. Approved, sorry for the wait. EXP will come soon.
