Re SCRYED - OOC Characters. Name Unknown, goes by Babydoll Bathory Age 24 Appearance !-- m --a classpostlink relnofollow href ... a-54088817a!-- m -- Her mask, the rest in the bio Sexuality Asexual Personality Predatory, Possessive, Cruel, Numb, Surgical, Practical Bio The woman who would later be known as Babydoll Bathory in the circles of the poor and some scared rich had the semi-typical ghetto upbringing. Her mother and father tried to live as farmers and scroungers, but found their large number of children to be more of a hindrance than a blessing. Her mother found the middle daughter to be the hardest to deal with, the girl cried when they tried to cut her hair, spoke of hearing music when no one else did, and always seemed off. The children and parents learned to live with little and the children also learned to bear the brunt of the parent's wrath. The father and mother both beat the children when times were tough, when they were too noisy, when they were too lazy, or just when they were pissed. At around twelve the middle child decided she had had enough and went to strike out on her own. The music she could hear led her to a thriving city and all of the troubles it possessed. She had no money and no where to stay but no one beat her here, at least for the first few days. She was cornered in an alley by a group of thugs looking for easy prey when the transcendent moment in her life happened. Her last full memory of perfect vision was the man swinging a torch down on her face. She remembers the heat, the burning, the smell of seared flesh, and the dire urge to not die. The next thing she knew the alley around her was missing stones, metals, and other items and her hair was lashing out at her attackers. Only it wasn't just her hair, it was coated in everything she had absorbed and was sharp and deadly. She took down the thugs and knew that, for the first time in her life, she had power. She didn't need to be pushed around ever again. Since that day she has used her abilities to the best of her desires, carving out a niche for herself in the wild lands of native Alters. She is rarely seen without her mask and cloak on by anyone who lives, not that many could place her scarred, one eyed face that holds smiles and charm with the cynical and brooding woman behind a cracked mask who jokingly refers to herself as a Babydoll. She typically works as an assassin for hire or for the fun of it, covering her scarred face with her long hair on one side and getting men to take the pretty lady into their rooms where they are most vulnerable. She has no desire for sex as anything but as a tool to get what she wants and uses her charms on men who like women and women who like women if it will advance her agenda, though she prefers to get what she wants before actual sexual contact and then take care of her target. Out of her work gear Bathory appears like a somewhat sultry woman of around her age. When she loses concentration her remaining eye shows a wear and cynicism beyond her years. Her hair is a lustrous blue and her remaining eye is black. Her skin color fluctuates depending on if she wears her cloak or normal clothing for long stretches of timeand her face almost always seems paler than the rest of her body as she prefers to wear her mask whenever possible. -Alter- Alter name Medusa Grace Alter type L1 and L2 Alloy Alter Nature Bathory's hair is the epicenter of her power. She can use it to form stabbing implements, bludgeoning implements, piercing implements, and all other sorts of of basic items. She can use various strands and her own talents to play music like a harp, guitar, violin, or other stringed instruments. She can grapple with her hair which she usually does to grab trees or ledges to haul herself up with. The downside is that her hair is full of nerves or at least causes feedback. Getting a hunk cut off would be the same as having a chunk of flesh ripped out sensory wise which is why she prefers to not grapple people. Her hair is stronger but not invincible. L2 Tensile Transcendence At this level Bathory gains shape-changing abilities with her hair. She can form basic items such as a sword, a hammer, a bow and perhaps fire strands as arrows, throw her hair as needles, and it is virtually unbreakable in this form and thus use it more effectively as a shield, huge wings for flight, a gigantic sphere to roll away, etc. The toll it takes is very physical, leaving her drained and very hungry, generally for meat to obtain the necessary protein to both re-strengthen her muscles and to build up her hair once more. L3 ??? PROFIT! Alter Appearance Her L1 looks rather like dark colored metal that shines lightly in the proper light and feels like a light coating of chainmail. Physically the hair floats around her as if it is in water and moves almost like snakes being charmed which doesn't immediately cause any fear or really a lot of worry. When the strands lengthen and shoot out like arrows or slice around like swords, cleaving stone and wood in twain does the properties truly show themselves. The hair can reach about twenty yards from Bathory and thus she continually moves while she fights and often makes a spectacle of dancing to the music only she can hear in her head. Sometimes, after she has incapacitated an enemy, she hums giddy tunes as she slowly eviscerates them. L2 Bathory shivers and quakes with what looks like to be a bit of masochist glee. Her hair takes on a form more like mercury than actual hair, changing shapes as quickly as she can think to guide her killing impulses across the field. The items that come from her terrifying mane are never complex enough to mimic a car or gun or anything but she can throw spikes as large as a train stake and form swords and other weapons. If she needs a better angle she can form wings or even a sphere to roll in and has been known to use this form as a shield and even as a cage if the people get close enough. -Player- Player name Misanthropiclove I do hope this is okay.
