Mori Matsudaira Level 0 Profile
Name: Mori Matsudaira.
Age: 85 (estimated; appears as though she is 19 or 20 years old).
Equipment:
Weapons: Iron katana, iron tanto (medium-sized knife that is similar in appearance to a katana), six iron bo-shuriken (4-sided spiked throwing pins, roughly 8 inches in length).
Armor: Steel chainmail undershirt and leggings, leather gloves and boots.
Appearance: Despite her old age, Mori is very youthful and beautiful. Her body is in peak physical condition and is what many people would consider to be a “perfect” figure. Her jet black hair is several lengths, the longest of which only reaches past her neck, and is extremely messy. Her eyes are a bright and vivid green that is a stark contrast against her deathly pale skin. Her lips, as well, are a very light pink shade that hardly differs from her complexion. Also present at all times in place of her canine teeth are a pair of long, sharpened fangs used for piercing human skin to drain blood for sustenance.
Mori’s outfit consists of an under layer of steel chainmail, the upper portion of which covers her entire torso from stomach to neck and shoulder to wrist, as the bottom portion covers her hips to her ankles. Black robes with white trim, fitted almost like a dress, are worn over the chainmail, the skirt portion of which is imprinted with a tribal-like design and is seemingly cut in half as it covers only her left side. The upper portion is long-sleeved and hangs off of her shoulders completely and crosses in the middle to just barely cover her breast. At her hips is a black leather belt complete with two pouches on each side; these pouches are used to store her projectile weaponry (bo-shuriken) and items such as first aid supplies and the like. To finish off her ensemble, Mori wears fingerless leather gloves that cover her palms to her elbows and black boots that stop just below her knee. A saya, or sheath for her katana, is always strapped to her back for easy access to her deadliest weapon and a similar sheath is located at the back of her belt for her tanto.
Personality: Due to a lack of general human interaction (aside from business propositions and the like), Mori is without the most basic social skills any normal person would possess. In many situations where contact must be made with someone, one could say that she is painfully stand-offish. She is brutally honest, blunt, and downright cold to many who speak to her. An underlain tone of sarcasm is almost always present in her normal speech. To say the least, Mori is not very nice or amiable.
History: Unfortunately for Mori Matsudaira, she can only base her history and background from her travels and work-related experiences over the last twelve years, due to a large deterrence early on in her long life. There was one point in which food was hard to come by for any young and inexperienced vampire such as herself because of war, famine and plague in an area of Corone she inhabited at the time. The survival rate for vampires during this period was slim to none. It was hard to travel on an empty stomach, with no stamina whatsoever, to search for food. It became necessary for Mori nearly fifty years ago to hibernate until food wasn’t so scarce, until the land wasn’t so ravaged and the human population wasn’t so low. She slept thirty eight of those years until an unknown force disturbed her rest and brought her out of her deep sleep with an offer she couldn’t refuse: Fresh blood.
Since the day she awoke the memory of the years before her rest have completely vanished from her mind. Through pure instinct during necessary nightly hunts for blood, Mori has discovered her various talents and abilities due to her vampirism. It was only a matter of time before she picked up a sword out of curiosity, taken from one of her numerous victims, and discovered her talent with that as well. Within the aforementioned last twelve years, Mori has become a bounty hunter as well as a mercenary on the side accepting low payments for her services, wanting mostly to enjoy the thrill of the hunt, obtain a meal along the way and daresay, kill for fun.
As a bounty hunter she is also given access to information on many people on a daily basis, thus peaking her interest to stay in the profession. Mori is currently in search of her reviver using her constant supply of information from various prisons and private parties so that one day she cannot only thank her reviver, but to perhaps gain knowledge of her lost past as well.
Mori was last seen somewhere in Corone after finishing a mercenary mission, effectively killing her target. Because of her profession and needs for survival, Mori does not associate herself with or talk to anyone besides her employers, thus secluding her from nearly all forms of sociality and life completely.
Abilities:
Vampirism: Due to her race, Mori is granted many abilities which a normal person would not possess. In order to survive and function normally she must drink human blood on a regular basis (at least once a day). When she is fully energized, Mori can move faster than any human (about 15 MPH), jump much higher (a single leap can reach up to 15 feet directly upward), can endure more damage, and heal rapidly (a small wound can take around 10 – 15 minutes to heal whereas a larger wound would take hours to even possibly days to fully heal). Because of her vampirism, Mori cannot be killed unless she is decapitated, burned, exposed to sunlight, or stabbed through her heart. Drinking the blood of the dead can also act as a hindrance to her as it is deemed poison amongst vampires.
Mori is also immune against many poisons that would be deadly to humans. Her body naturally expels any poison sometimes leaving her feeling the side-affects; unfortunately, her body cannot expel blood drunken from a corpse, so she must rest immediately after ingestion of said blood or all of her endurances and immunities will fail and she will essentially be rendered mortal. Drinking dead blood should only be used as a last resort and should never be ingested more than once every great while. Also, sunlight is a big and obvious hindrance against any vampire. Any exposure to direct sunlight will only spell death for Mori.
Fighting Skills: As a professional Bounty Hunter, Mori is skilled at hand-to-hand combat and swordplay. She also possesses a good sense of stealth and is capable of following someone for great lengths of time and distance before being detected.
