Lady Eyes :: Jessica Seraphim Black

[insaney]

Name: Jessica Seraphim Black.

Answers to: Jessi, Jess or Sera.

Stage name: Lady Eyes.

Occupation: Traveling magician

Age: Unknown. Birthday is March 16th, however.

Race: Class S Vampire. (Regarded as the most powerful of vampire ranks, and having at least one very unique ability and/or weakness). Lower class vampires, if they get a whiff of a Class S vampire’s scent, usually stay away. However, Jessi doesn’t mind if they try to communicate with her or not.

Sex: Female.

Hair: Short, a little longer than chin length. Shiny black with a large, dark red streak in the middle of her forehead. The ends of her hair or more silver than black.

Eyes: Silvery

Weight: 123lbs

Height: Little over 5 feet.

Weapon: A knife that’s as long as her forearm. There is no handguard, so the handle flows directly to the blade. The handle is wrapped with a thin but strong, black, long rubber-like cord with the end attached to the tip. With this, she can use it like a mid-ranged weapon or whip, able to pierce or wrap around objects from far away. The blade is made of pure silver and is narrower than a katana, and has a special sheath that is kept behind her, under her jacket and held to her body with the belt around her waist.

She can also extend each of her nails using the proteins and iron in her blood. Each talon is about a foot long and razor sharp. Using these, she can inject a liquid that had entered into her bloodstream just before into an object or person. (For example, if she drinks poison, she can inject it into someone or something before it starts to take effect, curing her instantly). Because of this, the silver (that acts somewhat like a poison) can be removed from her system without it causing any harm. If they are broken, they can be instantly re-grown at will.

Strengths: Stronger and faster than your average vampire. Her every movement appears as a quick blur. So far, the only people who are faster than her, would be Rain and his sister, Raisha. Because of the ability to extend her nails and inject substances from her own body into other beings or objects, silver does not affect her, or any other poison for that matter. She can also walk out in the sunlight as much as she pleases, he genetics having been altered by drinking Rain’s blood long ago. Also, she is a master illusionist, able to manipulate most peoples’ senses to her advantage, or for her amusement. She doesn’t drink blood anymore, because of Rain’s blood. Because she’s a vampire, she is also nocturnal.

Weakness: Crucifixes and holy water can cause severe burns. Even though she learnt how to fight from Rain, she prefers not to take a forward approach, and uses illusion to make sneak attacks, which won’t work against other magicians or illusionists, or people with clear minds and future-sight. Since she doesn’t usually change how she looks when on and off the stage, she can be easily recognized and targeted.

Skills/Magic:
Other than normal vampyric abilities (defying gravity by walking on walls/ceilings, acute sense of smell and sight, nocturnal), these are the others she possesses.

Mist Form: Perfected. She can now easily squeeze through the tiniest of cracks by turning into a thick black mist.

Iron Blood: She can extend each of her fingernails, turning them into foot-long talons using the iron and proteins in her system. Explained in the Weapons section.

Master of Illusion: This is a special ability. It enables her to manipulate peoples’ senses (mostly their eyes) so that she can make them see what she wants them to see. But she cannot make it seem like they’re someplace else. For example, she can make it seem as if she turned a playing card into two live doves, but she cannot make an illusion in which the audience is ‘placed’ somewhere else, like a beach or outer space. In other words, she can’t make the whole environment change using her tricks, only a few things or people at a time. Another example: She can make it look like a tiger is attacking her, but cannot make the room look like a jungle. She does, however, have a unique illusion which she can draw her opponents into.

• 1000 Doors: The target is ‘transported’ to a never ending hallway with walls lined with doors (one thousand in all). The walls and floors of the hallway themselves are pitch black, with doors being a faded brown colour. The only way to escape the illusion is to open any one of the doors. Behind the door that is opened, the target will view something horrible happening to them or to ones close to them. What happens behind the door is random; the target could see himself or herself being killed in some unorthodox manner, or they could see themselves falling forever (if so, the illusion is sped up, giving the sense that time is passing and the target is getting older…or rustier…or whatever). After that is witnessed, the target is swiftly jerked back to reality.

Appearance

There is a black ribbon tied around her neck; the ends of it reach down to her thighs, and trail behind her when she moves.

Personality: Jess, having remembered what happened to her family has a soft spot for young children, and would perform minor tricks for them to make them happy. If one begins acting rudely, she’d act like a good mother and quickly set the youth straight, even if she doesn’t know his/her name. She is an extremely kind, soft spoken person. Although she can fight extremely well, she prefers to use her tricks to confuse the opponent before escaping. It takes a lot to make her fight. If one threatens a child with death, she will not hesitate to rip that person limb from limb--out of the sight of the child, of course.

On stage, Jess is almost a different person, she is much bolder, often asking for volunteers or going into the crowd to talk to people while using her illusions. If someone calls her by her real name instead of her stage name, she ignores them until her performance is over. She is as graceful on stage as she is off, smiling and bowing--she’s always a hit with the audience. If not, she’ll feel badly, and try her best to make up for it.

Rod Stewart - Faith of the Heart

Biography: Jessi was born a vampire, into a family of vampires. She had a single mother and a younger sister (Elizabeth). Although they were vampires, they were not evil, drinking the blood of cows in order to survive.

At the age of nine, her mother was brutally killed right in front of her seven year old sister by a man named Ulrich, who was an agent in an organization that was against all undead and demon-kind called D.A.M. The sisters would have been murdered as well, if it weren’t for the intervention of two vampires, Rain and Vanyel.

Rain had saved Jess from Ulrich’s grasp while Vanyel had looked after her sister.

In the end, Ulrich escaped with his life alone, leaving behind the four vampires. Because they had no parents to see about the girls--their father’s whereabouts were unknown--Vanyel and Rain decided to take the girls with them, regretfully splitting the sisters up, but promising to meet up every now and then.

Rain and Jessi journeyed together for a while, both overcoming difficulties and having some peaceful times. It took a small while before she warmed up to him, as he was treating her not like a daughter, but like a sister which is why she began looking up to him as a brotherly figure, more than a fatherly one.

By the time she was eighteen, she had already mastered most of her abilities, and was just discovering her ability of illusion. She and Rain had traveled to a myriad of places, gaining great knowledge of both the world’s greatness in both dangers and pleasantness. They were brother and sister now, for all they cared.

Even so, she was heartbroken when Rain left. She had waited for him, but he did not return. In her heart, she felt it, she knew that he was dead. After a while, she decided to move out on her own, adopting a variation of Rain’s surname and using it as her middle name--so that she would never forget him.

Jessica became a traveling performer, doing various magic tricks while perfecting her illusion skill. Eventually, she started to perform her myriad of tricks in small bars or restaurants under the stage name ‘Lady Eyes’, thinking that Rain wouldn’t want her to go on just wandering. But she traveled because she was hoping to encounter Vanyel and her sister in order to give them the news.

For years she did this, never giving up hope.

She heard all the rumors, of a duo that resembled Rain and Raisha, but it was hard to believe--Rain was supposedly dead, and from what he told her, Raisha was evil--nothing like is true sister.

But subconsciously, she felt something had changed. She began traveling to where the sightings were the hottest, but it was too hard to keep track.

Often, she would say: “Please…Leave me a sign. Anything.”

Eventually, she would reunite with him and fight by his side in the oncoming battle against Chaos.
