((Alrighty then. This is an old char. Really old char. Like, Pre-pre-crash I think, when Hashi was around. Before Damon Kaosi was even regestered old. If only by like a day. She was Level 3 at the last time I remember, and I can get at least two people to vouch for me if I need to.))
Name: Maia Kristel
Race: Appearance of a Human
Gender: Female
Age: Unsure
Height: 5’9
Weight: Seems to vary
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Sparkling Blue
Appearance:
Maia looks almost exactly like she did when she was last seen. Of about average height, but still able to make other look up to her easily enough. She has a curvaceous body, strangely unmarked of scar tissue despite her history of battles. She is tan, and seems to stay at that skin tone no matter where she is. Her hair seems to stay clean and doesn't get frizzy that easily, despite managing to go doing to the small of her back. Her face was, and still is, described as angelic by most who look at her. She wears her heart on her shoulder, and it is often plainly obvious whatever she is feeling at that moment. Something often considered strange, is that Maia hardly ever notices how good looking she is, nor how natural ugly something else is.
She tends to favor white clothing, though often wears an orange skirt with two long slits down the side allowing her to run quickly if need be. She has two large wings as well that comes out of her back, at about the same area as her shoulder blades. They are very much like Angel wings, which has led to some calling the girl just that. She can "fold" the wings up somewhat, and make herself appear more human, but never for longer than several hours at most, and even then it begins to tire and hurt her while she is doing it. She wears a little jewelry, only a single golden loop on her wrist and a necklace with a rare gem on it.. She also tends to wear rather sturdy shoes that cover her feet and protect them, but little else.
History:
Maia has a curious history, especially since she seems to have forgotten most of it. Her latest memories only manage to encapture the Grey Braves War, in which Malice destroyed the former power groups home in Salvar. The girl just seemed to wake up within the frozen parts of Salvar, as if out of a daze. Her mind was almost wiped clean, vut everything was wiped cleanly away. She could remember some of what she had done, but she drew a complete blank in other spots. Where she remembered the Brotherhood and her friends there, she could not remember her childhood. She could remember why she had wings, but she couldn't remember what happened to the tail that she once had. It was as if someone has carefully removed those memories from her mind.
Despite this, she has begun to journey across Althanas, her few possessions still with her. She didn't mind terribly about her memories, but there were more important things that the girl needed to find. She had enough friends across the different countries, but whether or not they were still there or even remembered the lass remained to be said. Still, she had enough reasons to continue traveling, it was simply finding the people she knew that was the problem.
Weapons:
-Kept on belt, and often perpendicular to her hips and about where the small of her back is.
Titanium Dagger- a simple, if slightly long, dagger that looks to be brand new.
Free Blade- A strange dagger, with the strange power of burning undead creatures when it cuts, and cauterizing their wounds. As well, seems to cause more pain to those who have evil intentions at time of wounding. This includes wishing to harm Maia, so it almost invariably deal nearly thrice as much pain as it should. Recently the handle broke, and the blade is all the Maia still has. Kept in bag and currently hard to use.
Boomerang- Maia actually holds three of these iron boomerangs. They do not return if they are knocked off course, and do to the way they are sharpened, are nearly impossible to catch without inflicting a deep cut on the catcher's hand.
Armor:
Demonskin Shirt- While not made out of the same skin as those from hadia, Maia's shirt is still demonskin. Going beyond that, most bladed weapons would have difficulty piercing it, though it will not stop the impact in the slightest. Currently dyed a pure white color.
Vlince Skirt- An orange skirt with two slits along the sides, as described in the appearance section.
Items:
Belt- Holds Maia's weaponry, though it is currently full right now.
Adamantine pendent- Maia does not know where she got this piece of jewelry. It is of a rare, very deep blue set in adamantine. Will not, and cannot be sold due to the bad feeling others get when they hold it or put it on.
Small pouch- Made of burlap and has survived more adventures then Maia's weaponry, she has grown as attached to this bag as the things inside.
Medal of Trestoria- makes Maia a friend of Alerar for her work she cannot remember, nonetheless will give her good standing in Alerar if she decided she needs to flash it. Kept in bag.
Tool Kit- Complete with finely made thread, needle, several other small tools. Kept in bag.
Skills:
Weapon Skill- Maia would be considered very adept with throwing her weapons, and could hit most stationary targets from a reasonable distance away. For example, she could hit a small target with a dagger from 10 yards at best, whereas a boomerang she could hit a smallish target from about 30 yards. Though, hitting a moving target requires a bit of luck. She can defend herself easily enough, but not for much more than several strikes before leaving herself more open then a novice. One thing of note, is that the girl depends more on fast legs, the first strike and looks in a fight then actual skill or striength.
Dancing- While not so much a real skill, Maia enjoys dancing, and is pretty good at it. Also, she has a good voice for song, and can sing better than most would think.
Inventing: Maia is skilled at tinkering with random things, and can often take apart foreign machines and put them back together without any ill effects.
Flight- This is more of an oxymoron. Maia cannot fly without a running start, and even then cannot fly for longer than about two or three minutes at full speed, but can go for nearly half an hour at an easy pace. She cannot hover, but has an average flight speed of about 40 miles an hour, and two gross yards or so in height. She can fly longer or faster, but this would need a nice hill or updraft. Mostly used for travel, she cannot carry people very far without help, even if they are light.
Magical powers
Spirit Theft - Maia's only really active power, this must also be performed regularly so that Maia stays nourished. It can be performed with any part of her body, though her hands are the easiest. It involves plunging her hand into someones chest, and then pulling out a bit of their soul, which is absorbed or eaten by Maia. Despite the tone, this is about as dangerous to someone, physically and spiritually as getting hit by a cardboard tube. Though more can be taken out, Maia often only takes the bare minimum so that way she doesn't hurt whoever she is doing it to. Differing effects may happen to Maia whenever she does this, but often mooks will do nothing, but a truly strong person would dramatically change Maia as a person before her own body makes the soul apart of hers and she returns to her normal self. However, when needed Maia can take nearly all of someone's spirit, absorbing it and almost certainly a good portion of their personality, skills and traits. They would recover later, but it often would be a crushing blow for them at the time. However, in other cases it could enrage the victim, making them more powerful and berserk. ((That bit bout skills and stuff requires permission from everyone in the thread. So it won't be powergamed. Hell, whole move needs permission.))
Aura- A curious skill of Maia. Depending on her mood, things around the girl tend to reflect her feelings. When she is happy, rooms seem just a tiny bit brighter and warmer, food tastes just a little bit better, and people, including her, fight and act slightly better. The opposite is true when the girl is sad, and things seem colder and darker. Often, it is only when she is in a stronger mood, and normally does not take a noticeable effect.
Healing: Exactly what it is, Maia regenerates her body at an alarmingly quick rate. This often leads to her eating more than a girl her age and size normally does, but the result is more than worth it. Given enough time, Maia will heal from any wound, no matter how disastrous it is. However, she is also somewhat weak, and can be taken out easily. Often she will concede a fight that doesn't require someone to die when she bleives the other person has won. In addition, she is weaker as she heals, as it often requires some rest before she could operate at peak efficiency again. Often it only takes a few seconds for wounds that are neither mortal or terribly dangerous. The most obvious example would be catching one of her boomerangs. When she breaks a limb, it would only take about an hour for her to heal it, but she often can do little else but stay in one place, as it also involves her bone moving and resetting itself in the correct spot after. She came as regrow an appendage, and once did with her former tail, and that takes nearly a week, and it was the single most painful experience of the girl's life.
