Thread: CHARACTER PROFILES [updated 4-26]

Re CHARACTER PROFILES And they say that revenge is dead. Name Switch Maltrese Age 230 Appears 23 Race Hybrid Half Demon, Half Human Gender Female History of an Avenger Switch is the illegitimate child of Lucifer's thirteenth son when he came to Earth and mated with a human woman. Upon her birth, her mother lost her life when Switch had to be cut out of the womb in order to survive. Her mother's heart gave out in the process and was unable to be revived. The name 'Switch' was given to her due to her almost duo personalities. She grew up in a world where darkness and light fought for dominance and she herself was the center of it. Like Dhampire children, Switch was prone to changing into a killer when her anger was ignited until something or someone stopped her rampage. After a time, she came to be able to control her anger once it was lit and channel it into targeted killing and controlled mass murders of certain syndicates. Once that occurred, she gained a bounty on her head, effectively earning the term, The Devil's Own. The struggle between her human self and her demon half was constant, unable to merge into one sentient being. Due to this, she lived alone, had no friends but a demon cat that had found her home one day. Jack, her kitten companion, prowls around their home, keeping out strangers and safe-guarding her from other demons. Switch inevitably meets her notorious maker, Lafayel, when she goes into the woods to find Jack. He is a rather handsome Devil, and strangely enough is able to instantly recognize her and comments that he expected her to die and is rather pleased she was able to reach the age of one hundred without meeting such an end. They exchange words and he actually appears remorseful in having been unable to locate her until now due to a charm placed on her by her nurse the band around her left arm. They exchange more words, some heated, some muted, before he helps her merge the two halves of her soul. She is soon able to keep herself in control at all times, except in extreme cases, but it helps ease the constant internal struggle she faces daily, such as helping or injuring someone for the sheer fun of it. With his only gift given, he leaves to return to the Underworld and leaves her with a question. Where do we go when we die? The next century and more of her life is filled with bloodshed and unseen battles while cleaning up the messes as she made subtle alliances with vampires and other such creatures of the darkness. But even she made partners with such beings as good witches and even a grouping of angels. She becomes part of the Avenger class in that she may be of a neutral party, she will still kill people whether for a reason or simply for the hell of it. And now she, with her companion Jack, she roams, looking for a new place to settle as she takes somewhat of a break from the murder business. Quirks Though she is quiet and sarcastic, she has this uncanny habit of being able to guess what you might be thinking. She knows when you are armed, whether you are physically armed or not. She happens to be a virgin, only because she killed all her suitors, whether on purpose or on accident. Also, Jack bites people he likes. She has a thing for nice and quiet men with a sense of humor and a backbone. Personality Quiet and sarcastic but not unfriendly, Switch usually keeps to herself but will talk to others when they speak with her. She enjoys sharing company and drinks, and doesn't mind making a friend or two. Still, it takes a lot to get within her inner circle, and even more for her to allow you her trust. She isn't much of a sexual creature due to her constant struggles and moving from place to place, but isn't so much of a prude to not know when she's being hit or or anything of the sort. She likes cars and weapons, and has no problems being blunt. She is polite and well-mannered, but get on her bad side and you might as well write up your will and testament. She also has a wonderfully morbid sense of humor. Abilities Heightened senses and extremely fast. She can teleport or shimmer to wherever she wants as long as she can picture it in her mind. She also had a Berserker mode in which she herself blacks out and ends up destroying everything in sight that is alive until someone or something snaps her out of it or she comes out of it on her own. The black outs can last anywhere from five minutes to five hours. She wields multiple swords as her choice of weapons besides her fire and shadow abilities. She can create and manipulate fire and control the shadows as long as she is not exhausted or is in control of herself.
