Name: Priscilla (surname unknown)
Some of the titles Priscilla has built up over the centuries include "Priscilla the Ancient", "The Black Queen", "Priscilla Blackheart", and perhaps most in/famously, "The Skull Queen"
Physical Age: 25
Actual Age: 2,107
Personality: Priscilla is every bit as haughty and self-righteous as you'd expect somebody of her standing to be. Especially in vampire society, where age determines everything. Permitting debate or questioning only from her fellow Ancients, she is a vampire who has already seen whatever her eternal life can throw her way. As a result, she's extremely quick to come to decisions, and expects others to do as she says. Surprises are known to throw her completely off-guard because of this.
Despite how high she holds herself, however, those who have had her as an ally know that the Skull Queen can and will prove to be a fiercely loyal ally, a leader who aims to improve her underlings, and if one manages to impress her, a compassionate friend. She's also not afraid to join her soldiers on the front lines of battle. Indeed, Priscilla will always be the first to offer to put her life on the line if somebody in the team has to, claiming "I've lived enough to sate even the grandest of kings, and seen enough battle that even Mars himself may never raise a weapon again."
Having said all that, she's been asleep for almost three and a half centuries. The technologies and customs of the modern world are things she hasn't quite gotten a grip on yet, and she's not particularly fond of all the fancy gadgets and gizmos today's world offers.
Bio: The child of a Roman general, Priscilla grew up in a Roman Empire that knew war quite well. She wanted to be a soldier, but there was no place for a female soldier in that day and age. So instead, she became the next best thing. A gladiator, and oh how the people loved her. Before going to take up such a dangerous career, her father had ordered a set of armor be forged for her. Because of the armor's black-as-night color, many Romans who watched her fights came to know her as the Black Queen, a vicious and cunning fighter.
One fateful night, she battled an opponent who had been a gladiator at least twice as long as she. Many called him The Immortal because no matter how much he was wounded, the guy just didn't seem to die. Priscilla had been the one to slay The Immortal, formerly one of the Ten Ancients. To celebrate, she drank her foe's blood. While this custom was normal for her, the blood of The Immortal was a new dish entirely. By means of drinking vampiric blood, Priscilla became a vampire. She awoke the next night surrounded by lesser vampires, welcoming her to their ranks and explaining what had happened.
She took the news surprisingly well. The Black Queen resigned from the gladiator business and made way toward Greece, where she became a sellsword; offering her blade up to the highest bidder. Throughout the centuries, she continued following this path, gaining more and more fame among both vampires and those seeking to hire such people as mercenaries.
In the year 1,357, Priscilla was given the title of one of the Ten Ancients. The ones who had lasted from The Immortal's time were impressed to finally meet the girl who had slain an Ancient without even knowing what she was dealing with. From there, Priscilla's life of battle only intensified. As she became more and more famous as a vampire, vampire hunters also became more aware of her existence and power. Driven to slay her, they came by the dozen. By striking down the hunters, Priscilla was able to hone the powers of necromancy. By 1,672, she had a veritable army guarding her home, and earned the title of Skull Queen. She then entered a deep slumber, planning to only awaken when she was needed.
Fast-forward to now; 2014. Her undead army has decayed to uselessness, and she was quite rudely awakened by a lesser vampire and told about how the takeover of Japan was going awfully. After a short time spent learning the language, Priscilla moved out. This situation called for an Ancient. Now that she's here, only a handful of vampires remain in this nation.
Skills: Priscilla, having come from an empire famous to this day for its impressive military, is a peerless swordfighter and tactician. She also specializes in using the necromantic powers of the vampire to raise the dead.
Anything Else: The armored mask on Priscilla's face conceals a burn she suffered from holy water. The burn will never heal, and reveals her skull plain as day should the mask be removed.
Currently ranked Number Three among the Ancients. This effectively means she's the third-oldest vampire in existence, as well as having only two who are more powerful.
