Personality: tends to be merciless, underneath hard exterior lies an inner feeling of remorse, which Crescent calls her “Elven side”, shall only fight if provoked or asked to by the Demon Council, is over confident and takes failure harder than she should, cannot see herself ever being “good”, but has doubts of what it is she’s doing

Appearance:
Neutral state (a.k.a. Shadow Form):
In Crescent’s neutral state, she's tall (6 foot), shapely (has an ample bosom, is thin), has long full black hair that reaches all the way to her ankles, has white soft skin, has purple-amethyst-like eyes with thin black eyebrows above them, has elf-like ears that extend an inch from her head, she has a stone in the middle of her forehead just above the bridge of her nose that is shaped like a crescent moon that is an onyx-like-black, and she usually wears a leather halter top and leather short-shorts that are black. She is seemingly a sweet, pretty woman, but she always covets power, and will use her body as a way to get it, but if she can't, she will transform into her aggressive state.

Transformation:
When Crescent transforms into her true form, she will arch her upper body forward, her hair will start to rise 'till it floats above her head (which will rapidly turn white during the entire process), her pale skin will rapidly turn black, her body will begun to bulge with muscles, a ripping sound will be heard, and then her upper body will jerk backward as her leathery wings spring from her back, she’ll clutch her thighs and pull out two scimitars from her legs, her eyes will turn all white (no pupil or anything), and the stone on her forehead will kind of ‘burn’ white. This takes 30 seconds and appears to be a painful process, but it only hurts Eclipse to change into her shadow form, which is the vice-versa of the process to turn into her true form.

Aggressive State (a.k.a. True Form):
In Crescent’s aggressive state, she’s slightly shorter than her neutral state (5 foot, 10 inches), is shapely, has rippling muscles, she has long white hair that reaches to her ankles, has coarse black skin, has all-white eyes (no pupils or anything, but can see in the dark and in daylight), long elf-like ears (slightly longer than in neutral state and also stick upwards more), the crescent stone is a bright white in the middle her black forehead, she has leathery wings like a bat that can carry up to 250 pounds (they have a wingspan of 12 ft.), her fang teeth are as long as most demons’ are (about an inch long), her weapons are two scimitars (both have black blades and have white-metallic-like handles) and she is usually wearing a black leather halter top and leather short-shorts. She appears to be a demon or a drow (a.k.a: a dark elf) and is highly vicious and greedy, and usually is only in her true form when she plans to kill someone or is forced to show her true form by something holy.


History:
Crescent:
Parents:
Mother:
Her mother’s name was Azhure, and she was a moon elf (had white skin, white hair, amethyst eyes, thin, shapely, appeared very weak, had healing powers). Azhure was fooled by Crescent’s father (Demetrious) and gave birth to the abomination that is Crescent. She was of a rich noble family, and always longed for adventure, so that when Demetrious appeared in her town (Luna) and offered her a way to see the world she longed, she of course went with him. As they were on the road, Azhure fell in love with him, and a month later, she was pregnant. A month before Crescent was born, Demetrious left Azhure in the middle of the night without even leaving a note, and she was stranded at an inn with no money and no way to get back home. Azhure, the determined woman that she was, refused to give birth in that inn with no way to even feed it, so she started walking the road back home. Eventually, a merchant (Jack) took pity on the elf and gave her a ride on his wagon, but he fell in love with Azhure on the road, and Azhure agreed to marry the human (she was desperate, and did not truly wish to return to her family who probably had no idea where she had been and would be ashamed of Azhure who was giving birth to an illegitimate child), and gave birth to Crescent a week later. Afterwards, she lived in Jack’s mansion (he was a very well to do merchant) until her death.

Father:
Her father’s name is Demetrious, and he is a fire demon. He came to Crescent’s mother in his shadow form (white skin, black hair, blue eyes, appears very muscular and strong, very handsome, elf-ears (stick out more horizontally than demon-ears), soft skin), but came to his daughter in his true form (black skin, no hair, all-red eyes, leathery-bat-wings, lean and muscular, pulls a spear from back, long upper- and lower-fangs, demon ears, coarse skin). He bred with Azhure with the primary intention of creating Crescent, the one who would make the demons the rulers and the elves the slaves (presently Elves are the governing force in the land and demons are slaves). He never loved Azhure, but he knew Azhure would be attracted to him because of his magical allure to the opposite sex. And he chose Azhure, because he knew that she carried in her the bloodline of the ancient Elf Mystics that had banished the demons in the first place, but the bloodline had grown thin and could only be revived through the awakening powers of demon blood (it makes all magic within the genes viable/useable). A month before Crescent’s birth, he was called by the present demon council to discuss the plans for Crescent. He did not return for his daughter until she was three, the ripe age to begin teaching her the dark arts of demons. Now and again, he appears to her, but only to guide her/to tell her the council’s demands/requests, not to talk to her like a father or have father-daughter moments. He is jealous of his daughter’s future and power and only seeks to use her to further himself on the demonic ladder.

Birth:
Crescent was born one week early, at the exact moment the sun and moon completely eclipsed, on the open road to her step-father’s mansion. When her mother looked up at the sky afterwards (eclipses don’t hurt Elven eyes), the eclipse was slowly fading away and you could see a crescent of the sun, hence what Azhure named her daughter. She was born with dark skin, white hair, and all-white eyes, and an odd crescent-shaped stone upon her forehead (which also influenced her name) and Azhure was sure that this was not her daughter, because it looked just like a drow, and she was pretty sure that Demetrius wasn’t a drow and that she definitely wasn’t a drow. But she was convinced by the midwife that this was her daughter, and that this abomination was of Azure’s blood.

Childhood:
For the first three years of Crescent’s life, she lived with her mother (who disdained her) and her step father (who was a traveling merchant and was almost never home) in her step father’s mansion. She was mainly cared for by one of the human slaves, who was named Leona, and that was the only love she had ever known. Azhure liked to keep Crescent’s white hair short, almost like a boy’s cut, except with long bangs to cover up the crescent-stone on her daughter’s forehead, she always had Crescent dressed in clothes that would cover up most of her daughter’s black skin (even in the hottest of weathers), always made her wear a hat (so people would have a hard time seeing her daughter’s all-white eyes), and, despite her mother, Crescent was naturally strong and muscular. When Crescent was three and was asleep in her bed, she was awoken by a stirring in the room. She looked about with her eyes (which could see in the dark) and saw the strange demon in her room. Even before learning what demons were, she just simply knew that he was a demon, whoever he might be. It presented himself before her bed, and spoke, almost in a hiss, and asked her simple questions like what her name was, how old she was, what her mother’s name was, ect. But then he started to ask her more difficult questions (like do you love your mother, would you care if she died, do you want to leave your mother, ect.) and she shrewdly asked him questions in turn (like what’s it to you, who are you, what are you doing here, ect.) and he finally revealed that he was her birth father, that he was the reason she looked the way she did, and that he was there to take her to his home. She quickly agreed and disappeared that night. The next 10 years, Demetrious taught his daughter everything about demons, and taught her how to make her wings grow, and how to fly, how to use her magic, how to learn about her own magic, and what it meant to be a drow (a.k.a. a dark elf). She learned even more quickly than Demetrious himself did, and that made him curious (“Was it her Elven blood that helped her learn so quickly?”), jealous (“I can’t believe it, she’s surpassing even me. That’s not possible”), and proud (“My daughter is meant for so many great things”) all at the same time. After learning all she could from her father she began traveling the world in her shadow form, searching for ways to become powerful.

Adulthood:
At the ripe age of 14, Crescent was already one of the most powerful demons of the Seven Hells, and the council of Demon Lords called her to a meeting. There, she was tested by the many Lords, and she survived each struggle for her life, even killing the Lord of the Third Hell. They felt that she had proved her worth for all the trouble they went to, to conspire her birth, and basically to guarantee her survival in the many dimensions of worlds, so they offered her to become an esteemed assassin for their cause. She was given many riches, and a few Lords offered her love and lusts, but she refused until the day her father convinced her to accept. Although she never revealed it, she highly revered her father and wanted him to love her, and she was willing to do anything to make that happen, and if guaranteeing her entry to hell was a cost, she was willing to pay.

Wow...I just sat here for probably fifteen minutes reading this, but it's amazing. My friend, this is perhaps one of the best, most detailed, most original characters I've ever seen in the BA. I'm sure you'll end up being a greater fighter here. Heh, it took me a while to understand her forms and powers, so I ahd to re-read a lot, and I still don't completely get it! But I understand enough to know that this character rocks, I give you my utmost approval!

*puts a lil approved sticker on Cresent* She won't hurt me for that right? ^_~
