*"Wretched warriors. Nothing more than flesh and bones. You no longer need to suffer. I offer you peace and salvation. Be not afraid, your soul is now mine."*

## Personal Status

### Age

1000+

**Adira Sakura** is an executioner for the Dark Lord, occasionally serving as an advisor or a capable substitute for a military leader if need be. She has the title of **Executioner of the Dark Lord**, executing anyone and anybody the Dark Lord deems unworthy of living.

## Appearance

Adira seemingly wears ceremonial garbs made of leather, linen and cotton, coloured with ashen grey and crimson, with rope bindings for both her upper body and limbs. With lacquered steel armor covering the shoulders, forearms and shins, she also wears a large waistcloth, eerily decorated with white puppet heads which symbolize the victims that she's executed.

The mask she wears is completely white with a face that is both ominous and sunken, lacking any sign of remorse or emotion, as well as horns stretching out of it. The ropes for the mask is lined with cloth streamers, and on the mask's face, a reminder of her status as executioners is etched upon it.

## Personality

A cold, remorseless killer, Adira is not one to trifle with. She has no mercy, and has a tendency to strike down those in her way without a second thought. She is forward thinking, her mind set to the simple task of resurrecting the Dark Lord. Despite all of what she is capable of, she is cunning. She knows when to lie and when to fight. She doesn't rush in like a cave warrior, but tries to think if she could handle the situation.

She isn't emotionless though. They can definitely show, especially anger and cruelty.

## Background

Adira was born a long time ago. Her family, mostly her parents, were servants of the first Dark Lord, near the end of his regime. As the second Dark Lord took over, she quickly joined him, much as her parents did with the first one. She served in the military, and quickly gaining reputation for being cruel, even going as far to killing her own squadmates for not following through on orders. She quickly grew in power, getting promoted, and was quickly noticed by the Dark Lord himself. She grew to be a trusted and loyal servant of the Dark Lord, with him even confiding in her sometimes. She was given the title *"Executioner of the Dark Lord"*. She did exactly what her title said, executed people. Dissenters, assassins, people who the Dark Lord deemed unworthy of living. She did it.

And as usual, since everybody dies, so did she. But the Dark Lord would not stand for his Executioner dying. So, a group of young necromancer heeded to his wishes, and brought her back. When she came back, she was different. Not a mindless being, like some are when they come back, that was for sure. She was cruel as she was before, but powered, she was worse.

Time went on, and the kingdom and reign of the second Dark Lord fell. And Adira? Well, she disappeared, along with the Dark Lord. But there have been recent sightings of Sakura the Manslayer. A person, demon, creature, whatever, hunting for a way to bring back the Dark Lord, and release terror upon the land once again.

## Powers and Abilities

Adira, after being brought back, was changed. She had several powers.

**Life steal** - Adira is capable of stealing the life of a person who she has killed, absorbing what is left of their waning life, gaining strength and power with it.

**Supernatural strength** - Her strength isn't just normal powered strength. Since Adira is able to take souls from those she kills, she draws her power from the souls, giving her superhuman strength.

**Possession** - Adira has no space for weakness. Her spirit, soul, ethereal being, whatever it is, is able to possess weak-minded individuals. The person is under her control, and seemingly gains supernatural strength as well.

**Dark communication** - Adira Sakura is capable of talking with spirits of the dead.

**Regeneration** - Sakura is capable of regenerating from damage she sustains, even mortal wounds. If she were to be torn in half, she would obviously die, but she still capable of regenerating from wounds.

**Immortality** - Though she isn't entirely indestructible, Adira seemingly doesn't age.
