Bio: The wandering soul of a long dead city. Though once the greatest city-state in all the world, a never ending fountain of trade and culture, the people of Nineveh allowed their enormousness wealth lead them into decadence, corruption, and infighting. After a long period of costly wars, both at home and abroad, and a steady decline the city was overtaken by armies from the surrounding cities. Her people were put to the sword, her buildings to the torch, and her great works were torn up by hammer and carried off to all the know corners of the world and beyond. This judgement of Nineveh, however, only put cracks into the mortal shell of the city and from the ashes arose the cities essence. What was left of the city was shattered to dust as all that was once good and true dragged itself up out of the rubble and set off to wander.
Nineveh is seeking the numerous treasure that were stolen from her during her sack, but is most often waylaid by her fascination with new people and culture.
Powers: Nineveh is incredibly strong, durable, and heavy with a body like solid stone, and can "see" in a 360 degree circle around her body, and doesn't need to breath. She does need food and water however, in much larger portions than a human being. She does not heal like a normal person unless she has access to the raw materials necessary to make "repairs," which segues into her real power.
Nineveh's most interesting train is her ability to absorb raw materials like wood, metals, gems, and stone and output products made from these materials. The ability is augmented by another which allows her to set up "trade agreements" with others. When other people make such an agreement with Nineveh anything they agreed to send her are spirited away to her automatically and replaced with whatever she agreed to send back. The goods that Nineveh creates is of the finest quality and made to the specifications of whoever commissioned it, however she can only create things up to her current early-medieval technological level.
She can absorb people in the same manner. They, however, must willingly become a "citizen" of Nineveh. If they do they are never seen again and not even she truly knows what happens to them. Absorbing enough citizens in this way could theoretically raise her technological level and the items that she is able to produce.
