"Oh, aren't you just a delicious looking morsel. Let me have a bite, hmm? Pleeease?~ Aww, don't give me that look...I'm not a venomous wittle spider. Probably~"
Appearance: If standing on her human legs, Atla reaches a respectable height of five foot seven. If using her spider legs for support, she can reach nearly six foot three - quite an intimidating boost, especially since she has a tendency to sneak up on people for giggles. She has light brown hair, and is typically seen as somewhat dainty and slight of frame. Most would likely consider her to be fairly attractive. She has amber eyes, though typically she walks around with them closed, oddly enough. In her hair she wears a simple hair ornament, and she is a fan of simple, yet elegant seeming dresses.
Of course, when she's alone her appearance takes an entirely different nature.
Six spider legs grow from her back, able to be manipulated as well as her other limbs. The limbs themselves are covered in a hard, chitinous carapace that end in sharp points. Useful for stabbing things and in close combat. Six, pupiless eyes can be seen on her forehead above her two 'main' ones. She has spider like fangs that extend from her top two canines, that are difficult to hide.
Name: Atla Vethoth
'Suzue Yamazaki' to most humans.
Age:Actual: 25
Physical Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Jorōgumo (formerly)
Reincarnated Devil (Currently)
Chess Piece:Queen -
As Dililah's queen piece, Atla is quite adept in all areas. She has a knights speed, a rooks defense, and a bishops capacity for magic. While she perhaps may be somewhat lacking in the physical combat area, she is far from defenseless and could be a formidable opponent in a number of ways.
~Sacred Gear~:N/A
Magic:Youjutsu Like most Jorōgumo, Atla is fairly skilled in the art of Youjutsu. That is, a form of magic solely used by Youkai that create Illusions. She is rather adept at the art, and can create some fairly nifty and often times terrifying illusions. She can create things that seem entirely real to all senses, and many would have difficulty telling the difference.
She is by no means a master however, and as they are illusions they don't directly cause any direct damage to something - though they can render a foe immobilized as they are seeing something different than what is actually happening, and unless they can somehow overcome the illusion they will likely not be able to do much. Even if they know something is an illusion however, it takes a bit more than simply knowing something is fake to contend with it, as their very body will perceive all that is happening to be real.
- Eight Eyes of the Jorōgumo:
A series of Techniques developed by her family, inherited by her and her numerous siblings. They are a series of fairly effective and powerful Youjutsu techniques, so called the 'Eight Eyes' after a spiders eight eyes. She hasn't mastered every technique yet mind you, but she is still working on it.
- Eye of Petrification:
The first eye, it fills the area with an intense, oppressive aura - the victim will imagine they are being watched from every direction. It induces temporary paralysis upon foes through an absolute seeming, all consuming fear. It is her weakest illusion, however, but quite effective in small doses and useful in settling arguments. It can be useful in temporarily stunning more powerful targets, and making lesser ones flee entirely. - Eye of the Sightless:
An illusion that deprives one of their vision, rendering the foe completely blind to their surroundings as far as visual senses goes. For those with enhanced hearing and other senses it's effective might fall a bit, but having your vision suddenly drained from you is always going to be a bit jarring to start with. By combining this with 'Paralyzing Gaze' she can make the foe imagine large, immense eyes gazing at them from all directions, further enveloping them in an illusion. - Eye of Agony:
The victim will feel themselves being cut, torn, and otherwise wounded by blades or whatever other weapons they fear or dislike the most. Most notably, all pain they feel is real and they will perceive all wounds to actually appear on their body wherever they feel the pain. Not restricted to man-made weapons either - they could feel as though they are burning alive or freezing to death. - Eye of Hostility:
One of the more powerful techniques in her arsenal. It will make the foe imagine there is in fact, another enemy present. This enemy is only visible to them, and they will more or less be wholly convinced they are completely real. The enemy can be something she chooses, or something created by the victims mind. If created by her, it will behave as she believes and expects it too. If created by the victim, it will behave as the victim expects.
Fire Magic:She is, in fact skilled with fire magic. While perhaps not as skilled in the art as she is with Youjutsu, she can still cast some fairly potent mid-level spells with it.
- Combustion: - A range spell that causes a mass of magical energy to converge on an area, creating a localized explosion on a certain target. Not too powerful but good at catching foes off guard and keeps them moving.
- Flame Pulse: - A somewhat defensive spell that creates a large pulse of fire in a circular motion around her, typically shoving foes away from her.
- Spider Fangs - Fire magic that takes the form of large fangs, resembling that of a spider and her most powerful fire spell currently. The jaws clamp down on a foe, immobilizing them and burning them alive. It is a close range spell at the moment, however and takes a fair bit of energy to use.
Flight -
The spider can fly now, like most other demons. Have fun with that, kiddos.
Skills:Thread spinning/ControlAtla is able to spin very fine, very strong threads from her body. Most notably her spider appendages and her hands. The threads are sticky, able to cling to surfaces - however they are much more durable than normal spider thread and would require a bit more effort to break than just simply cutting them. They can be used for restraining, as well as setting traps of difficult to detect wire and thread or quickly traveling about.
Miscellaneous Skills:- Chef:
Likes to think she's an excellent cook. She usually is. - Piano Maestro:
Is fairly skilled at playing the Piano. The spider limbs help a bit. - Spider Tongue:
Spiders, well, like her. And she can talk to them. Yep. Pretty useful for recon. - Venomous Fangs:
Her fangs are in fact, venomous. Being bitten by her will in fact, end in likely death unless someone has some resistance to venom or other defenses. It does take some time to completely work, though. - Wall crawling:
She is indeed, able to hang from walls and crawl on ceilings with her spider legs.
Personality:At first, Suzue, or rather Atla, would come off as incredibly polite and friendly. She is very formal in her mannerisms and tends to treat everyone with a high amount of respect and proper decorum. Indeed, she's fairly servile in her mannerisms at first glance. A bit catty and flirtatious, she doesn't take anything too seriously. She cares greatly for her comrades and friends, and while she doesn't like conflict she will never let anyone hurt those she cares about, even at probable cost to herself. She tends to dote slightly on new members of the peerage, treating them as 'younger siblings', and his highly overprotective of them. She is a fairly determined person, though she can often obsess over things and ends up perhaps getting too much tunnel vision on a single goal.
Of course, the longer one spends around her the more they might find a slightly domineering person who takes great enjoyment in teasing people. Not that she's mean or overly aggressive mind you - she just likes messing with people - a lot. Expect pranks, harmless flirting and teasing. She herself, also has a tendency to like being spoiled and doted on, if only because she has rarely experienced such things in her life, usually being the one doing it.
History:Atla didn't have an especially interesting history until joining the peerage. If anything, she was rather average as far as Youkai went. She was the oldest child in a rather large and old family of Jorōgumo, on her mothers side of course. By the time she was ten, she had at least eight other siblings of various ages. As busy as her mother and father were doing their daily jobs and life to support their large family, she was often left to take care of her younger siblings when they were busy.
She had no desires for power, no desires to learn her families Youjutsu secrets despite the urging of her mother. She simply desired to watch over her younger siblings and lead a fairly normal life. She greatly was endeared to them, often striving to better her own schooling and teaching so she could better take care of them. She often spent days cooking, cleaning, and using her thread and extra appendages to take care of them and settle any arguments the rather large family would inevitably have. Of course, she never really intended to join a Devils Peerage either. It was the desire to protect her siblings that led to her becoming a devil. The youngest one had always been a bit of a delinquent. Getting into scuffles, trying to start trouble. Of course, she couldn't just sit by and watch - he was going to hurt himself.
It was during one of these fights she decided to directly intervene. She cared more about her younger brother than keeping the fact she wasn't exactly human from well, humans. The ensuing scuffle was quick and rather tragic. One of the thugs brought a gun with them, of all things. You can imagine how it played out. Atla was shot, and that was that.
It seemed however, that the scuffle caught the attention of a Devil that happened to be passing by. Delilah saved her that day, and that was also the day she lost all contact with her family. It hurt her to make such a decision to be sure, but she felt it would be easier on them to simply assume she had been killed and well, whoever did the killing simply got rid of the body.
She's been with Delilah and the Peerage for around five years now, one of the older members. She sometimes seems a bit down about being unable to contact her family, but considers the Peerage her family now so she doesn't let it get to her much.
Other:- Akeno, definitely Akeno.
- She wishes to learn Senjutsu, and other forms of magic, though is focused on still refining her Youjutsu.
