CHASERS
BOUNDARY OF THE CRIMSON SKY

GM

@KoL

Co-GMs

@TheWindel & @McFazzer




"When the night falls
the boundary is pierced
and beyond it
lies a world of red."

Intro

Mysterious occurrences have been happening through the city. Rumors tell about queer looking creatures stalking the shadows, people disappearing from the streets during the night, crime syndicates so powerful that the law can't even touch them and much, much more.

The common men dismiss such tales as nothing but urban legends, fabrications of the collective sub-consciousness of all who inhabit this sprawling jungle of concrete and steel.

However, there are few who know the truth that lies beyond every corner, within the back alleys where the light never shines and above the rooftops where the wind howls fiercely. These persons are know as Chasers, men and women of every age and path in life that always have at least two things in common.

First, they all know that the world is much more than the eye meets, that the supernatural beings wait inside every shadow, waiting to prey on the unwary. And second, somehow everyone of them has seen what lies beyond this world, the other side of reality that is best left unknown to the everyday men, this other world is know as... The Crimson Sky.

The Crimson Sky

All Chasers know of the Crimson Sky, in fact the ability to get in and out of there is the first and foremost difference between a normal human and a Chaser, and most of them gained their other abilities when they were sent there by accident, or dragged there by one of the Crimson Sky's inhabitants.

Entering and leaving the Crimson Sky can only be done during the night, for those who know how to do it, it is just a matter of crossing the right street or turning a in the correct direction corner. However, the easy with which it's done, meaning the number of places where the crossing can be done, varies with the phases of the moon, being much harder on new moon and almost childishly easy on the full moon nights.

The Crimson Sky is home to a number of different creatures that the Chasers dubbed Youkai for easy of reference. Some of them are friendly, some indifferent, but the great majority are nothing but predators always seeking their next meal.

Glossary

Sonomachi

Map of Sonomachi by Night

A large city located somewhere on Japan's coast, it boosts an incredible variety of locations, from the Setsuna Mountains, inhabited by a variety of ancient and powerful spirits, to the Old Port/Industrial District, ran by the worst of Sonomachi's scum. This is a city that stands at a unique position in the conflict between the Crimson Denizens (commonly known as Youkai) and the Chasers, because of the concentration and power of the passages between both worlds, earning it the nickname of "Maelstrom of Strife".

The only other known place with so much resonance between the Crimson Sky and the Human World is the city of Prague, back in the heart of the Old World.

Chasers

Humans who dedicate their lives to fight off the threat posed by the rogue denizens of the Crimson Sky. They wield special powers and, sometimes, Treasures to assist them in their struggles and come from the most varied walks in life, united only by the flimsy banner of their cause.

Youkai

Denizens of the Crimson Sky, the Youkai are beings composed primarily of Spiritual Power and can come in all shapes and forms, though, most assume the guise of humanity, even if temporarily. They follow a flimsy hierarchy that is based on each individual's power level, which is turn is based mostly on said individual's age, meaning that the older an Youkai is, the more on top of the Crimson Sky's food chain they are likely to be.

The Crimson Sky

The Crimson Sky

A parallel world, beyond the boundary and borders of the everyday men's reality. It envelops and overlaps with the Human World on the places they are closest, meaning that a city on the Human World will be all but perfectly copied on the Crimson Sky, with the noticeable difference that there will be no humans around.

Pretty much any damage caused on the Crimson Sky will not be reflected on the Human World, even if you demolish a building it'll not do anything to its "real" version, unless the barrier between both worlds is exceptionally flimsy at the time. The contrary, isn't valid (most of the time), since the Crimson Sky get's "reset" at each sunset of the Human World, being a fresh impression of how the later looked at that time. Exceptions might happen to places of great concentration of Spiritual Power, such as a temple, or a hospital, since the laws binding both worlds get warped by strong concentrations of power.

Lastly, the Crimson Sky derives its name from its most defining characteristic, the sky that is bathed in the blood red light of the Moon that hangs ominously overhead. Inside the Crimson Sky, the time seems to go slower, and the night is permanent; the Sun never been allowed to touch this cold land. This discrepancy means that staying for extended periods of time in the Crimson Sky is a taxing task for humans and there's no known reports of anyone who survived for more than a week locked in that realm. The contrary is valid as well, since most Youkai can't survive on the Human World for extended periods of time; their Spiritual Power slowly drained, making then disappear little by little, this being the prime cause of Youkai attacks on humans to steal their Spiritual Power for themselves allowing for a continued existence on the Human World.

Treasures

Special items said to break the rules of reality, like a ring that makes the user immune to flames, a chime that can put those who listen to its tune to sleep, or a sword that can cut someone's spirit, without leaving a single wound on their flesh. These items are by their very nature extremely rare and to posses even one is the mark of powerful individual; during the whole recorded history it's said that no one had more than three treasures at a single time. To affirm the contrary is to declare oneself as a fool.

Hunters' Association

A gathering of the Chasers from all around the world, the Association offers help and support as well as basic handling on the maintenance of the Masquerade, by keeping the common people in the dark about the Chasers' activities. Sometimes, the Association issues bounties and missions for the Chasers and handles any reward they get. A member is expected to pay an annual fee based on their earnings, though it can be postponed if there's undeniable proof that a Chasers can't cover it for that year.

To turn one's back at the Association, or break their very lax set of rules, is to have a deathwish, since their priority is to keep the general populace safely in the dark about the truth of this world.

Youkai Junction

A coalition formed and ran by Miss Chikage Akane, probably the most powerful Youkai known, the Junction serves as a node to protect the Youkai who aren't dangerous to human lives and has a similar role in upholding the Masquerade, and handling of missions as the Hunters' Association, though their ultimate goals differ greatly.

The worldwide headquarters of the Youkai Junction are the rundown alleys of Sonomachi's Old Downtown, popularly known as the Youkai Ghetto, most properly speaking the Red Cloud Music Store, Chikage's personal facade business.

YTC

Shorthand for Yotsuba Technology Corporation, the worlds' lead technological conglomerate, having businesses in fields that range from pharmaceutical products, to fine electronics, military grade weaponry, power generation, so on and so forth.

They are also (unknown to the main public) the lead in Crimson Sky and Youkai research, having little to no morals in their pursuit for global monetary supremacy. With such a track, it's no wonder that YTC is the main opposing force to both the Hunters' Association and the Youkai Junction.

YTC is officially ran by a Shadow Council, whose true identities are unknown even among themselves (or so is said); the official face of the company is Edward Harker, a man better not to be crossed, any further information isn't known.

Jun Kaiki

"It must be hard, being so stupid I mean."

Name: Jun Kaiki. He doesn't like his name so he prefers to be called by his surname 'Jun'

Title: Cryoslinger

Gender: Male.

Age: 19

Height: 1.73 meters

Weight: 74 kilograms

Appearance: Jun Kaiki is a blonde haired man of fairly average height. His eyes are blue, round and big.

He tends to be dressed in large coats or similars during winter, which almost always are colorful, along with a pair of pants and a long sleeved shirt underneath his coat. He still wears long sleeved shirts even in summr or spring, though. He vastly prefers them because he can simply roll the sleeves back if needed.

He wears a pair of glasses with a black, square frame. He doesn't exactly need them and they are not corrective, but he feels more intelligent with them (not to mention that he loves propping them up).

Personality: He is not the strongest man in the room. He is aware of that. However, he always does try to be the smartest one in the room.

He is cunning, manipulative, arrogant and often times sarcastically sharp. In fewer words, he is an asshole.

Jun prefers to keep his social interactions to a minimum, however. He is good at academics and his marksmanship is second to none, but he is painfully aware of the fact that several other people surpass him in other aspects of, mainly when talking about sports or physical capabilities. He prefers only to engage in conversation with people he can brag about his brain and intellifence with.

Despite his often unfriendly nature, however, Jun is in fact a lot more of a good kid that you would expect him to be. He is just one big attention bitch seeker. If you want, you could also call him a bit of a tundere. He is too shy to admit that he just wants the attention and too proudful to admit he was wrong.

He may even shoot you, for all that matters.

Regardless, he always tries to be helpful and support his teammates, even if it doesn't seem like it or if his words often contradict his actions.

Short Bio: His mother is a simple Japanese woman and his father an American weeaboo who came to Japan as a kind of cultural exhange and ended up staying after meeting Jun's mother.

His real name is in fact 'Kaiki Aster Jun', but to better fit in Japanese schools, he decided to use only his mother's maiden name.

Aside from that, well, Jun's life has been more or less boring. Honor student, good with a gun, dealing with bullies by making them feel stupid, one or two beatings he had to go through. Nothing really special, aside from being a Chaser of course.

Also, he doesn't like his name because he doesn't like the character Kaiki from the Monogatari Series, nothing more, nothing less.

Powers: Cryokinesis

Jun has the power to create ice out of seemingly nothing, though he in fact freezes the moisture ever so present in the air, rendering this power useless in arid areas or such.

He can mold and shape ice to his liking, making weapons and the like is an 'icy' matter for him. Get it? *cough*

Jun prefers to use his power to mold bullets with which he can freeze his opponents at long distance with his gun. He cannot, however, flash freeze an opponent due to their corporal heat. It'd need several bullets for him to actually freeze an average sized adult.

He can also create ice below the feet of his opponent to make them trip or make his bullets more pointy in order to pierce through some of his opponents.

Weapons: 2 Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum Revolvers to be used alongside his power. He does not carry ammunition.

Worst comes to worse, he keeps a ninjato hilt with which he can create an ice blade to protect himself in close range, though he tries for this not to happen.

Equipment: A pair of holsters by his sides for his guns.

His glasses, though when he gets actually serious he takes them off.

Binoculars

Other: Great marksman and avid otaku. He also keeps with himself some book or other, though the cover always seems to be the same. Often, the books he reads are Light Novels. He also keeps a pair of earphones in his person at all times.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

Your character is ok, though I'd like you to wait a bit and see if @TheWindel, or @McFazzer has anything else to say, before posting him at the CS tab.

Sure, I shall wait. I'm gonna be busy today, anyway.

Katherine Sinclair

"I don't need anger management...you just need to stop pissin' me off."

"Call me Kat."
Name:
Katherine Sinclair. "Kat"

Title:
Havoc Aegis.

"Well, if you want to know...I'm actually an amorphous space alien-WHAT THE HELL do you think I am?"
Gender:
Female

"Meh. Old enough.
Age:
24

"Tall and got legs that can kick your ass. Got a problem with it?"
Height: 5'8",
Roughly 1.76 meters.

"Don't worry, that's all muscle."
Weight:
154lbs,
Roughly 70 kilograms.

"Seriously, are you blind?"
Appearance:


Blonde hair usually tied back into a ponytail and dull bluish-grey eyes are the things people would notice about her. Standing roughly at five foot seven, thanks to her rather athletic build she can come off as a bit intimidating to some people. Her snarky attitude doesn't help either. Usually, she wears a dull grey military vest stocked with all kinds of different ammunition and other things. Like her cigarettes, and a canteen filled with the good stuff. (That's alcohol.) Various first-aid supplies and other stuff that someone of her profession might need in a pinch.

Under it, she wears grey, military armor designed to be lightweight and able to stop a bullet if it had too. It covers only her vital areas on her chest, leaving her arms quite vulnerable. As for pants, she wears black military issue pants, modified of course to hold more equipment that is essential for surviving in the Crimson Sky. Insulated to be resistant to heat and cold. On her hands, she wears open-fingered gloves to help with gripping things. Wears steel-toed combat boots. Yeah, you do not want to get kicked with that.

"Me, eh? I like tacos, cheap ramen, and puttin' a bullet in some jackasses head. You wanna date or something? Buy me a shiny new gun and a bottle of vodka then we can talk. Oh, and I don't date older guys, so don't even try."

Personality:
Kat, is usually pretty friendly despite her snarky attitude and somewhat hostile seeming behavior. A sarcastic jackass, some would describe her, anyone is fair game for her snark and insults. Even herself, if she does something stupid. This makes people kind of...well, they don't exactly dislike her, but she doesn't exactly have a lot of friends for this reason. Not that she really cares.

Despite the bit of shunning she receives from other people, she's not a bad person and doesn't think much of it. Mostly, she just doesn't really care much of for other people, since they don't really care much for her, though she will save a total stranger if she happens to be in the same general vicinity whether they like her or not. Still, she can't stand most people and would rather work on her own, or a well functioning team. Unfortunately, the latter is proving difficult to find.

Clever and resourceful, she's quick to adapt to most situations.

Short Bio:
She grew up in London, though never knew her real parents all to well. She was adopted by a rather wealthy family, and had an easy time growing up. She's always had an attitude problem, though, even as a kid and was constantly getting into trouble. Smoking, drinking, getting into a lot of fights, doing...extracurricular activities with her friends. Basically your typical delinquent, and she hasn't mellowed at all since then.

Joined the military at the age of 18, and dishonorably discharged after turning 22 for getting into a fistfight with a superior officer after disobeying orders. Moved to japan after that, in hopes of possibly finding her biological father, along with working with the Chasers.

Powers:
Force-field generation.
Kat has the ability to make, and manipulate localized barriers. She most often employs this by keeping what someone might refer to as a 'shield' around herself almost at all times. And while it's no means impenetrable, it can easily provide quite a bit of protection from most projectiles.

The force fields can come in many shape and sizes, though most often she prefers making them sphere or square shaped and can be used for more than just defensive purposes. Slamming a large one into an enemy at high speeds tends to hurt. Not to mention trapping, and slowly crushing something to death inside of one. Her favorite though, is using them like bullets themselves.

Of course, they can be used traditionally for defense, if she has to, though it's not her preference, even if it's what she's probably most skilled at using them for.

Most often, they appear clear, turning a dark blue color near the edges.

Weapons:
Her favorite Remington-870 Shotgun.
Combat Knife.
A back-up pistol, a Glock 17.

Having awesome kick-ass powers are nice, but she never discounts the reliability of human firearms and man-made weapons.

Equipment:
Lightweight combat armor. Not gonna stop any serious damage, but can provide some protection.
Extra Ammo for her toys.
A few first aid supplies. Can administer basic first aid to injured people. It's not gonna be saving anyone's life, but it can get people back on their feet long enough to not get dead.

Other:
Excellent marksmanship, thanks to her military training.
Skilled hand-to-hand combatant.
Doesn't know when to quit, even if she's been pretty badly injured.
Fairly agile, even with her combat gear.

And there she is. I think that's it. If there are any problems with her, do tell and I will do my best to address them~

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

Liking your character because she likes tacos.

As long as it isn't from Taco Bell and actual tacos, that is.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Liking your character because she likes tacos.

As long as it isn't from Taco Bell and actual tacos, that is.

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

oh yeah, it's actual tacos. Ugh, I can't stand Taco Bell myself either. She'd probably shoot something from taco bell xD

[GrafRoy Zeppeli]

Then I like her even more. And now I am craving some tacos. :v

[TheWendil]

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

Looks fine by me. Please place him into the Character Tab.

@Rune_Alchemist

Looks fine, but just one question. What alignment does she work for?

[Rune_Alchemist]

@GrafRoy Zeppeli

@Rune_Alchemist

@TheWindel

...you mean her moral alignment? Chaotic Good, obviously. Blowin' shit up, kicking ass, and saving people all at the same time.

Otherwise? uh, the Chasers I guess? I didn't realize we could chose. Apologies if that wasn't clear.

[TheWendil]

@Rune_Alchemist

Ah. I was confused since her bio says she works for the Crimson Sky. Which is kind of impossible since the Crimson Sky is a location, not a group.

Luciel Lenore

Name: Luciel Kasadin Lenore "Kaz"

Title: Rosemarinus (The Knight of Roses ("Rose"))

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Appearance

Luciel stands at a lean 5'8 sporting a swimmer's tone and lithe features. While they tend to prefer abstract designs and vibrant colors, his manipulation over flora allows him to change the color of his attire and strangely even his hair. However, his eyes hold a rosey amber hue, implying that he may be albino; natural oils worked into shampoo give him sway over his hair color. There is little influence from his mood and most of his choice in appearance is deliberate.
From this, it is hinted that Luciel's attire is an amalgamation of plant material that is made, sustained and repaired by his power. Crass assumptions have been made as to what he wears, underneath.

Personality: On the surface, Luciel has stark two-face tendencies. At times, he is sincere and empathetic albeit a little aloof on occasion and dealing poorly with drama or strong emotions. Countering that, his 'casual' state holds a misty cheerfulness to it, though he is anything but outgoing. Pleasant to be around, though finds it difficult to take the initiative to begin conversations making him come off a little socially awkward to converse with, especially to strangers. Though they wield a gentlemanly demeanor towards women, Luciel has...different tastes. 'Rosemarinus' warms up well and is quite a loyal friend when you get to know him...depending how well you get to know him.
The other half, especially when forced into conflict or on the job, is cold and calculating to the point of statistical nonbias even regarding allies. Though the cheery empathy can still be seen below the surface, it becomes more clear that there is a considerable level of nearly sociopathic regard to emotion. Luciel's true face is professional and orderly, seeing emotion and social formalities as a game which he's become unsettlingly good at.

Short Bio: Luciel's heritage stems from a father of French descent who met his mother while she was on a business retreat in Paris. Though they settled down and were comfortable living in the flat above his father's flower shop, money was still made to put Luciel through fairly prodigious schooling to receive his associates in psychology at a fairly young age; however, he decided to stay and help with the shop rather than continuing education or seeking entry positions.
So easily, everything fell apart one night when Luciel's father simply went missing. Surprisingly, his mother wasn't too broken up and left the shop in Luciel's name before leaving to continue her career. While it wasn't difficult or strenuous of work, the bitterness from unexplained abandonment at the age of 17 wore on him. Today, the shop is demolished with who knows what to take its place. Firemen had been called to retrieve a child from the store which had become a tangled mess of plants gone rampant.
The right questions at the wrong time resulted in Luciel falling in with the Hunters' Association to hopefully find some closure regarding the fate of his father. From what he knows, the search is off...

Floramancy

The obvious drawback of requiring plant life of nearly any form to 'cast' is quite ever-present in an urban setting. However, Luciel makes up for this by carrying packets of seeds on him as well as a few 'emergency munitions' woven into his attire.
-No form of plant life can take a form outside of its organic potential (Moss cannot grow spikes, but can rise up to bash or restrain targets). Because of this, his 'weapon of choice' usually falls in line with roses for their nasty possibility to grow razor-sharp thorns, thus earning him his name.
-Manipulating the shape and color of his attire, Luciel can form some fairly convincing camouflage, even in urban settings. However, his power truly shines in forest settings. The extent of his sway over nature in 'home turf' gave rise to a witty nickname "Oberon" which he resents due to its implications, though many argue is more accurate of a title.

Tactics usually utilize crushing strikes or lashing tendrils to overwhelm opponents or bind them for being finished off through more conventional means. Often, oak and maple trees' anatomy can be bent into barriers or even a simple shield.
More aggressive methods are utilized with thorned or poisonous plants which are mostly utilized on the fly with a bit of creativity. Luciel has no 'signature moves', only an affinity towards plants and a preference for potentially dangerous strains.
Branching out towards Venus fly traps and pitcher plants

Weapons:
-Pappenheimer Raper
-Luciel frequently weaves bits of metal in with the soles of his boots and heels to be deadly in a pinch.

Equipment:
-A booklet of fertilized sheets of assorted seed strips to be torn off and used in his spells.
-A messenger bag containing various reading materials (which he doesn't like people going through...) as well as a first aid kit and a self-preening kit.
-A ring of unknown significance

Other: -Speaks with a slight French accent.
-Very poor when it comes to firearms, having no experience.
-Unfamiliar with Japanese customs

Lucy

Name:
Lucille Renfield

Title:
The Countess

Gender:
Female

Age:
56

Height:
5' 6" / 1.67m

Weight:
143 lbs / 64.86kg

Appearance:

Lucy

Lucille often dresses in black or grey garments, as depicted above. She keeps her gun and extra magazines hidden in her overcoat and out of sight. She often wears high heels, which combined with her respectable height usually allows her to look down at most people. For the rare times that she is seen during daylight hours she wears sunglasses and carries a dark grey umbrella to shield herself from the sun. Her scarf is also on her person almost all the time, but especially during the day. Her skin is somewhat pale but remarkably smooth and young despite her age. There are no scars or blemishes on her body, not even under her clothes, though she does have a case of heterochromia (one iris purple, one iris pink). Her silver hair is mostly cropped to shoulder-length but some extends even beyond her waist. She appears as if she is in her twenties though that is far from the truth.

Personality:
A woman of class and dignity. Lucille was always very educated and time has only made her grow wiser. Her calm maturity comes as a surprise, as her behavior is akin to a woman in her fifties when she only looks to be in her twenties. To that same effect she can take a mothering nature to teenagers and young adults, considering she has experience raising children. She will baby fellow Chasers that are much younger than her, despite looking to be of a similar age, and she'll do it whether they like it or not.

While she is caring of others, particularly others younger than her, she still has the capability of turning cold at a moment's notice. Serious matters require serious efforts and Lucille is no fool. She can read a situation quite accurately and act accordingly without skipping a beat, much in the same way she can understand other people and treat them accordingly. Her empathy and respectful nature makes many consider her to be a mother-like figure or perhaps a matriarch among the Chasers. She isn't particularly known for getting angry, but nobody wants to see her when she is. Any outbursts of rage are quite dangerous considering her abilities but thankfully it isn't easy to push her to that point. Lucille only gets angry when other Chasers get hurt, and she only becomes enraged in similar but more extreme circumstances.

Short Bio:
Born as Lucille Ptackova in the Czech Republic, she married into the wealthy Renfield family with her university sweetheart Milo Renfield at the age of 27. The Renfield family had been the owners of a famous textile company for generations, with Milo's father being the CEO of the HatCo. corporation at the time. Though her life was rich and leisurely it was relatively unremarkable. Lucille and Milo had two children, both boys named Steven and Harold, who were groomed to become the next owners of their family's corporation. Milo, however, tragically passed away from a terminal illness at the young age of 45, leaving Lucille a widowed mother.

The Renfield family was eventually able to cope with the loss. Her two boys grew up smart and capable, and are studying at Oxford University in the present day. This left a middle-aged Lucille all to her own devices. With no husband, no kids at home, and no real job, she had a lot of free time. She took up travel as a hobby, visiting many places across the world. The Crimson Sky wasn't on her itinerary, but lo and behold she wound up taking a wrong turn somewhere and her life has never been the same since. The aging woman was attacked by a humanoid creature in the middle of the night, being easily over-powered and forced to the ground for it to suck her blood from her neck. Lucille refused to go out without a fight though, drawing her concealed handgun and firing the entire magazine into the Youkai's head. This splattered its blood across her face but got her free, which she took the opportunity to run as hard and as far as possible.

It wasn't until the next day, in her hotel room, did Lucille see changes in her body. Her wrinkles and blemishes were all gone and she looked twenty years younger. She also learned quickly that sunlight was intolerable, to say the least. She had been thrown into the world of the Crimson Sky and had to change her lifestyle to fit her new needs. She became largely nocturnal and reclusive. She only communicated with her children and family by phone and never attended any business meetings except through video conferences. Most importantly Lucille began researching the Crimson Sky and vampires, which eventually got her noticed by the Chasers. As a woman of status and wealth the Chasers had a tough time tracking her down, but now she has become fully integrated into their ranks. Being a Chaser has broken her mid-life crisis of monotony, giving her something to do with her new powers and free time. And considering they mostly worked at night it was icing on the cake. She dreads the day she will have to tell the truth to her sons, but the mystery, intrigue, and action of being a Chaser is a great way to keep the thought off her mind.

Powers:
Vampirism

Vampirism

Vampires have many abilities and traits, so for ease of understanding they will be laid out in two categories of "strengths" and "weaknesses". Some physical attributes include having enlarged canines, pale skin, youthful appearances, and low-fat athletic body frames.

Strengths - Lucille has strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond that of normal human beings. She can't quite dodge bullets but she can outrun most motor vehicles in a sprint. Speaking of motor vehicles it is actually quite easy for her to pick up a sedan and throw it though heavy vehicles such as buses and semis might be a little too much for her. Her endurance is also frighteningly good, allowing her to survive typically lethal attacks such as decapitation. She has a natural regenerative ability to heal most wounds within a few minutes, but regrowing mutilated parts isn't within her ability. She would have to reattach missing limbs and heal them back into place. To the same effect she has eternal youth, granting her a youthful appearance for the entire duration of her almost immortal life. Her senses are honed far beyond normal humans as well, allowing her to have flawless vision in the dark and a hound-like sense of smell and sound. She doesn't need to eat or drink to nourish herself, only drink blood. Though she can still enjoy the taste of most foods as she chooses. Lucille can create minions by biting a creature without completely draining them of their blood. They become subservient to her and lose all capability to resist her influence. Conversely she can create other vampires by letting other creatures drink her own blood, though they do not become natural servants to her.

Weaknesses - Even the most infamous of vampires have their weaknesses. The biggest weakness by far is the sun. Contact with direct sunlight will burn Lucille, even if it was only for an instant. It would only take a few seconds of direct exposure to burn her to a crisp. UV lights also burn her but to a lesser degree, taking over a minute of exposure to destroy her. While mutilation isn't fatal by itself, Lucille cannot control missing body parts. Though she has a natural resistance to poisons she is not completely immune, making poison a good way to temporarily disable her though there is no toxin potent enough to knock her out for much longer than a minute. Silver and Holy Water are natural weaknesses as well, causing burning sensations where applied. A silver sword can deal good damage against her, reducing or temporarily disabling her regeneration factor. Ultimately she only has three fatal weaknesses: sunlight, malnourishment, and silver striking her heart. She can feel pain to a certain degree, but anything short of those three conditions will fail to kill her. She needs blood to survive but can go up to a week without drinking blood. Any blood will do (except her own), but human blood is the most nourishing. If she takes longer than eight days to nourish herself than she will most likely die of starvation.

Magic

Magic

Lucille has a natural affinity for magic and has been trained over the past couple years by a fellow vampire named Aria. She is not well practiced and could stand to improve in this regard, but she can perform feats of magic to a certain degree.

Telekinesis - A limited form of telekinesis. Though not strong enough to move other creatures around it can be used for things like cups, plates, or chairs. Lucille primarily uses this to manipulate her weapons and to bring back mutilated or destroyed body parts.

Levitation - Lucille can use magic to levitate in place. This is similar to her natural telekinesis, but it only applies to herself. She isn't strong enough to magically lift another person.

Telepathy - Lucille can read the minds of others to a limited degree. It only allows her to hear what they are thinking in the moment, but she can also place her own thoughts into their head. This can be used as a way to silently communicate, as well as becoming an effective translator for non-human creatures. It is because of this magic that Lucille can communicate with dogs, cats, bats, etc.

Weapons:
Colt M1911 Pistol - Because .45 ACP is better than 9mm Parabellum. Hollow-point rounds are used for maximum organic damage. Lucille's gun is always her first method of attack.

Equipment:
Sunglasses - zztopcheapsunglasses.mp4
Umbrella - Designed to protect from rain, used to protect from sun.
Designer Purse - An expensive handbag, popular among wealthy women, used for storing money, keys, and other miscellaneous tools or trinkets. Lucille's contains money, keys, an address book, a wallet, her phone, and hand sanitizer.

Other:
Theme Song
Fight Song

Also, @Hawlin glad you didn't change the name.

@j8cob Here I was about to make the guard to Luciel's rapier plated with silver ^^; (Still might edit that part in since its otherwise an insignificant choice of aesthetic finesse)
But yeah. I can see how they'd very easily get along. Still not sure about the name, but I guess that's what nicknames are for.
