Skills/Magic
Blind-Cila fires a small glob of dark magic at an opponent’s eyes, temporarily blinding them. The blindness lasts about two minutes.
Shadow-She can turn completely black and transparent, like a shadow. She can move around her enemy easily and set them up for a deadly attack. Cila can’t be hurt like this but also can’t hurt anyone else. Ineffective in light.
Modon-Cila can fire an orb of dark magic at her enemy to hurt them. A fast attack but doesn’t cause too much damage unless the person is weak to dark magic.
Abyss-Calls forth all her dark magic, Cila can open a portal to the underworld, Doumund. From this portal comes the evil spirits that attack and try to kill the opponent, usually succeeding. However, the time to set up this spell is extremely long giving the opponent plenty of time to stop her. If she does use it, she is weakened to a near death state and cannot defend herself from any more attacks. The evil spirits are unable to hurt someone who is pure of heart.
Appearance: Cila wears a strip of grey wolf fur around her breasts and a fur skirt that reaches her ankles but has slits on both sides for maneuvering. She also has a black belt that holds her whip on her left hip and a sheath for her dagger on her right hip. Her dragon wings have pure black scales with almost-clear white webbing in between. This dragoon has a lithe body that could be attractive if she wasn’t covered in a myriad of scars. Her nails on both her feet and hands are a tad longer and sharper than normal, giving the impression of claws. Cila’s purple eyes are often cold, hard, and piercing. Her voice is usually calm, no matter the situation. She has pale skin and soft curves.
Personality: Calm, collected, and very serious. Cila never gets close to anybody, preferring to be on her own most of the time. The dragoon usually doesn’t make presumptions and only observes what has happened. She his also very intelligent and an excellent strategist. Most of the time, she shows no emotion whatsoever. Cila mostly doesn’t care about anyone, but sometimes she can get a sense of justice that not even she can deny. If anger under the right circumstances, Cila can act like a wild animal, but this happens very rarely. After she found out that her mother and baby sister survived, Cila has a brighter outlook on life. She still rarely smiles but can be coaxed into one or even laughing. The dragoon also isn't quite as careless about her life as she was before. She's a little more social, too.
Biography: Deep in the Yana Forest lies the hidden dragoon city, Grydon. It was here that Cila was born, the offspring of a Lightning and Dark Dragoon. She lived peacefully there for three years with her parents. But one day her father left the city without telling anyone. Her mother was heartbroken for he had left while she was pregnant with another baby. However, Cila’s mother continued to care for her and try to be as happy as she could.
Then, a week later, Cila’s father came back to Grydon under the cover of darkness. He demanded that Cila come with him. Her mother refused and tried to get help but the father knocked her out cold. He grabbed Cila, covered her mouth so she couldn’t scream, and took her away from Grydon to the Gemini Mountains. There they went to a clan of shadow wyverns, the creatures that her father had left Grydon to be with. Wyverns are evil dragons with wings and hind legs, no forelegs, and shadow wyverns are the wickedest of all. Cila cried and cried to go back home which caused her father to beat her to near death. He had become an assassin and left her with the wyverns whenever he went out for a job. The wyverns tortured the young dragoon by nipping at her and casting dark magic on her.
Then, at the age of ten, her father spent his spare time to train her to be an assassin like himself. Whenever she did something wrong, she was punished severely, usually resulting a new scar. She was taught to kill without remorse by her father. The wyverns, however, taught her by attacking her relentlessly, forcing her to fight like a wild animal. Both tried to teach her to be a killing machine, without pity or moral.
Finally, after seven years, Cila was taken out on her first assassination. Her father allowed her the kill and she did without pausing. But the dragoon was left with a guilt she couldn’t overcome. The father told her that the guilt would lessen with each kill. So she killed and killed but it didn’t weaken, instead, the guilt grew. It grew until on one mission she couldn’t murder the target. Her father was furious and knocked her aside to finish the assassination. But Cila had had enough. She attack her father and killed him with her own hand, with strength she didn’t know she had. She didn’t lament his death but, rather, felt freed by it.
Cila walked away from her father’s corpse and from the terrible path she almost took. She never returned to the Gemini Mountains. Instead, she became a mercenary among the humans. The dark dragoon, of course, never deals directly with her employer but uses a letter system to communicate. Cila takes most jobs, even assassination if the target is a criminal. Her expert skills have earned her the nickname 'The Demon Mercenary,' a name she uses with pride. But her greatest wish is to return to her birthplace, to be with her mother again and her baby sibling.
BA History: After a while, Cila heard about ruins with a time portal situated in them. Thinking she could use it to maybe stop her father or at least see if the rest of her family was still alive, she went there. At the ruins she met a soldier named Nyle with the intent of destroying the portal and Cadenza who also wanted to use the portal for personal reasons. After destroying the portal, Nyle created separate portals for each of them. Cila went back to four years after she was taken away and snuck into the Yana Forest and Grydon. There, she saw that her mother had survived and even remarried. She also saw that her baby sibling was actually a sister, a lightning dragoon. Overjoyed to the point of tears, the dark dragoon returned to her own time, happy that her family had survived.
