• Name: Demonica Serkan
• Age: Appears 19
• Gender: Female
• Race: Human-like Demon
• Hair Color: Almost-black brown
• Eye Color: Grey-blue, changes to red in battle
• Height: 5' 5"
• Weight: 154 lbs

• Occupation: The sole heir of the fallen Serkan Army, she is unemployed but will take assassination jobs. She writes fiction for her own entertainment.

• Personality: Cold, cruel and logical, she has a tendency to lose her temper. Most regard her as insane. As for her self-esteem, she tries to appear confident and tough but has the emotional integrity of butter.

• Appearance: Demonica looks like a 19-year-old human girl, with the exception of the blood-red demon wings sticking out from just above her shoulders, barely noticeable white fangs, and the long, spiked red tail trailing behind her. Her forearms, covered in cream-colored human-like skin, slowly phase red, matching her wings. Her hands are completely demonic, crimson, and with almost human fingers that end with a sheathed talon, like that of a furless lion (the same is true of her feet, but with shorter talons). She is clothed in a worn reddish tee shirt and black ankle-length slacks, frayed at the edges. Her only jewelry is a rusted dog-tag choker, a memory of her time in servitude.

• Background: Demonica was once the daughter of the powerful demon lord Itzal Serkan. He and Demonica's mother, Azar, were the rulers of a small clan of demons, bent on the conquest and destruction of neighboring clans. War after war, Demonica's fighting skills grew, until her parents gave her control of the Serkan Army. She did well, and the clan's territory grew exponentially. But she made a fatal mistake.
One of the Serkan's oldest enemies was the Inferno Order, a huge tribe of humans trained in fire magic. Demonica and her army attacked their capital, and were defeated in a matter of hours. The demons fled, but their enemies followed, and targeted Demonica's home. The humans set it ablaze, killing Itzal and wounding Azar inside.
Demonica was devastated at the loss of her parents, almost sad that she hadn't been killed alongside her father in the fire. Rage having gotten the better of her, she fled her burning territory, leaving her army to die without her.
She was eventually caught by the Inferno Order and sentenced to three years in slavery and servitude, beaten frequently by her master due to her tendency to ignore orders. After the three years were up, Demonica fled to Scara Brae, looking for something to do.

• Skills: Demonica prefers hand-to-hand combat, using her claws as weapons. However, she is also trained in dark and demonic spells. They are only really effective against humans, but their power grows with the demon's anger. She can speak Latin fluently.

Spells to stupify humans:
***One that makes blood rain from the sky in the area around the target
*One that makes the scenery around the target to burst into flames (they do not touch the target)
*One that sets off a minor earthquake (1 on the Richter Scale)
*One that makes the target "see nightmares" (the visual representation of their greatest fears; is an illusion but appears real; those who have a strong will can see through it)

Spells for combat:
**One that sends Femur into a frenzy, clawing at anything in sight (mostly for entertainment value)
*One that doubles the length of Demonica's talons for one round
*One that makes her claws pulse with a darkness "poison", infecting and slowly damaging anything they hit for one round (the poison is extremely weak at first, causing little more than a stinging sensation, but will strengthen as Demonica levels up)

*=number of times that it can be used per forum

• Equipment: Standard medical supplies (a small store of herbs and antibiotics, gauze, tape, antivenin, etcetera), a notebook and pencil, and a photograph of a friend long dead.

• Familiars: A cat skeleton brought to life by some ancient spell, named Femur.

A cat skeleton named Femur... Funny.

Anyways, there are several edits/clarifications that need to be done before I approve this.

She can be average in hand-to-hand right now.

Also, I need to know what kind of dark and demonic spells she has. You should limit yourself to two or three rather weak ones for now.

And I need to know how strong her talons our. I'd allow them to be as strong as steel for now since you have no weapons.

Most of her spells are harmless; several are used only for the purpose of terrifying humans (i.e. blood raining from the sky, the background appearing to burst into flames). The only other ones are just for temporarily souping up her claws (making them pulse with darkness, for example).

Her claws have about the strength of enamel; that is, they can be chipped and/or broken if hit hard enough, but not sliced clean off. They have about the sharpness of a razor blade but are thicker and require frequent sharpening on rocks and trees. If broken, they grow back in a few months.

Any more info I should add?

Yes, I would appreciate if you included a list of spells she can cast and what are their effects. Right now, your description of her magic would allow her to cast a wide array of spells, which would be a bit unfair towards other people who start off with two or three spells. So that's really the only thing I'd like you to do. Just limit yourself to a couple of spells at the beginning. You can add new ones as you progress.

Oh, okay. They don't really have names; the effects just sort of happen.

Spells to stupify humans:
***One that makes blood rain from the sky in the area around the target
*One that makes the scenery around the target to burst into flames
*One that sets off a minor earthquake (1 on the Richter Scale)
*One that makes the target "see nightmares" (the visual representation of their greatest fears; is an illusion but appears real)

Spells for combat:
**One that sends Femur into a frenzy, clawing at anything in sight
*One that doubles the length of Demonica's talons for one round
*One that makes her claws pulse with a darkness "poison", infecting and slowly damaging anything they hit for one round (the poison is extremely weak at first, causing little more than a stinging sensation, but will strengthen as Demonica levels up)

If that's too many, I can delete some. Mostly, I just wanted her to know a lot of relatively weak spells, but she won't use them often. She prefers her claws.

Ok, I'm going to give you some leeway and allow a relatively large number of spells. However, you have to limit the strengths of some of them for me.

With the one that makes the scenery around the target burst into flames, flames can right now cause only mild burns and she can only inflame a small area.

With the one that makes the target "see nightmares" please state that people with above average willpower will be able to see through the illusion.

That's about it. Now, please copy/paste the spell list in your first post with the necessary edits and you'll be approved.

Alright, I took the liberty of editing those into your profile and separating the segments of your profile to make it easier to read.

On that note, you are approved! Thank you for your cooperation and welcome to Althanas. If you have any question, don't hesitate to PM or IM any of us mods. We're here to help.
