"...Your bravado is appreciated. But your heart... is speaking something else."
Name: Alma Vaux
Nickname: Longinus, The Smiling Assassin
Age: Appears to be 21
Race: Human
Class: Demon Hunter
Appearance:
To a more traditional priest or priestess such as Max, Alma's attire could be considered a bit odd, although the young priestess is still wearing priestess robes, it is fairly obvious that the garments are custom altered. The robes, taking a light purple shade, are more tight-fitting then the traditional robes, and cut off slightly below her knees. On the back of the robes, a large black cross is patterned, with the two horizontal bars of the cross replaced by angel wings in an upward position. Underneath her robes, Alma sports a simple tight black top and pants, allowing for high mobility without any hindrance. Fitting to this theme are plain, violet colored leather boots, tightly fitted for quick movement.
Although the demon hunter is rarely seen personally due to her robe, there are instances where Alma chooses to reveal herself to others. Alma has light violet eyes, which many describe as both exceedingly kind and excessively cruel, they can take the form of both, but never just one. Many who manage to see her eyes often describe them as being able to stare straight into their very being, shuddering at the young woman's uncanny ability to read the emotions and feelings of other people. In most cases however, most do not see her unusual eyes, because Alma bandages them at almost all times, due to the power they can contain. Alma also has short brown hair, neatly parted and going slightly past her shoulders, with a few locks hanging stubbornly down her forehead. Her frame is fairly slim, yet clearly athletic, with toned muscles and pale white skin that never seems to darken even with her excessive time in the sunlight. Although her form is almost always covered by her robe, her skin is most notable covered in a great number of indigo runic symbols, covering her arms, shoulders and legs, as well as her hands.
Physique:
Alma's body is already fairly athletic due to her intensive training, able to dash to-and-fro with remarkable swiftness, but the demonic energy that she is endowed with bolsters her strength and speed to levels far beyond a mere human. In addition, Alma is incredibly flexible, able to twist and deflect enemy strikes with graceful precision. Because the agent is blind however, she has trained her other senses to be exceptional compared to the regular human, although they are not quite up to wolfen standards.
Personality:
The young looking agent of the Order of Erlosung is as much of a mystery to her companions as her enemies. Always concealing her emotions in a facade of kindness and gentle warmth, it is clear to most that Alma does not follow the orders of others so easily, she has her own agenda. No one, not even herself perhaps, know what her emotions truly contain, due to her almost too well-done mask of kindness, but at times her true emotions can be seen leaking out in her terrible, perfectly perfected smile designed to put people at ease... it is through this mask that she operates, and thus her friends and foe alike have dubbed her "The Smiling Assassin" due to her constant wide smile and laughter even while doing acts of utter cruelty. Few know her intentions, but the agent known as "Longinus" to the Order of Erlosung is not one to be trifled with. Whether it is through her disarming tactics of reading a person perfectly and commentating on their weak points, or her overwhelming combat ability, Alma does not allow many to hamper her plans.
Even with the inability to see, Alma's ability to read the emotions of other people is almost supernatural. She can see the weaknesses and true thoughts of people with uncanny precision, and whether she takes pleasure in it or not, often uses this to her advantage, disarming many an opponent with a subtle, devious suggestion. However, she recognizes the need for more drastic maneuvers at times. While many take the blind woman to be an easy target, her combat ability is top notch. Compounded with her ability to fight is her almost callous attention to life. The Demon Hunter, seeing life almost as a triviality, has no qualms in silencing those in her way. Despite this, she usually opts not to bloody her hands, ending conflicts through her persuasive abilities.
Most interestingly enough, though she mostly approaches everything with her usual mask of benevolence, Alma appears to almost have two personalities distinctly at times. One side of her is truly gentle, kind and benevolent, but the other seems just as cruel, callous and sadistic. Regardless, the Demon Hunter approaches everything the same way, with the same mask that she has been wearing for who knows how long...
Weapon: Runic Hand- A skilled hand to hand combatant to begin with due to a detailed understanding of martial arts, Alma's hand to hand combat is further enhanced through her runic symbols. These symbols dramatically enhance her speed, strength and endurance when Alma tap into their power, channeling the energy of multiple demon souls through her body. She can also focus this energy onto her hands, her runic symbols glowing a light lavender hue as she focuses the energy of her demonic souls. By doing this, a dark violet aura surrounds her hands, and the nickname given to her by the Order becomes clear. "Longinus", the spear that pierced God himself, was given to Alma because of this demonic energy, by focusing the power of the runic symbols onto her hand, Alma gains the ability to pierce even through solid rock itself. Although there is little that can resist her fortified attacks, heavy armor, such as those made of steel, should be able to resist being punctured by her strikes. In addition, overusing the energy of the demons can drain her stamina quickly, and excessive use of this will lead to exhaustion. If Alma has focused this energy onto her hand, she can also launch projectiles and blasts of demonic energy at her foes, proving that staying at a distance is futile.
Element: Gravity/Soul
Abilities:
Demon-Bane Eyes: Alma, despite being completely blind, has a pair of remarkably powerful eyes that force her to bandage them at most times. These eyes, classified as the Demon-Bane Eyes, can detect the presence of any demon or evil spirit around her in a remarkable 30 meter spread. Because of this ability, she has gained renown as perhaps the strongest demon hunter in existence to this day. The eyes contain other minor abilities as well, Alma has gained the ability to see energy around her in the form of distinct auras, the demon hunter can see the life energy of a nearby tree, or of an opponent launching an attack at her or firing an energy-based projectile. This gives her a limited understanding of the surrounding world around her, and coupled with her above-average senses, often allow her to perform admirably on a battlefield. However, there are limitations to her sensory abilities. After all, in the end, Alma is blind, and in large groups or areas with many people, it becomes difficult to keep track.
Fiendish Gravitational Pulse: Alma has a good understanding of her elemental affinity, and, combined with the demonic energy she is blessed with, can fuse the two together for interesting results. Focusing her gravity manipulation abilities, Alma can gravitate projectiles, light objects, and pull lighter opponents towards her in a 5-meter spread, forcing them into a spiral patterned orbit around the demon hunter. Infusing demonic energy into the spiral, Alma can accelerate the orbit to breaking speeds as she builds up energy, her runic symbols glowing a light hued violet as she focuses it all to one point. When a sufficient amount of energy has been built up, Alma can violently expel her demonic in a brilliant burst of indigo, damaging all foes around her and sending any energy or person caught in her orbital attack in all directions at break-neck speeds. The attack has limitations, as opponents with a average build will find it much easier to resist the gravitational pull, and heavier opponents might even resist it altogether.
Soul Transfiguration: The runic symbols on Alma's body are not simply tattoos, similar to Max's pendant seal, each symbol is an individual seal for an individual demon she has captured. Although it is unknown how she can house such a high number of souls in one body, it is clear that she can tap into the power of these demons quite easily. Although a basic use for this energy is physically bolster her body, she can use these individual souls in a far more drastic way by physically transfiguring her body temporarily into the image of these demons. Tapping into such a forbidden power has made her both the Order's greatest threat, and greatest weapon... but power does not come so casually. Borrowing such power is temporary, and there are expected consequences for such abilities.
-Winged Terror ~ Alucard: Certain souls are easier to use for Alma then others, although powerful souls tend to be harder for her to control due to their stronger will. Alucard however has been whittled down through years of being Alma's favorite soul to transfigure with, and the resulting Transfiguration means greater resonance for the two, and less energy used during the transfiguration. When fusing with Alucard, Alma temporarily gains black batwings that span the length of her body, which enable her to take flight with ease. Additionally, the Demon Hunter gains razor sharp claws that extend a little past an extra inch, which enable her to slice through a plethora of objects easily. Her strength, agility and endurance are also bolstered while in this form. Alma, having great synergy with Alucard, is able to hold this form for a maximum of five posts. After that, she will revert to her regular form, and a significant amount of her stamina will be drained.
-Magical Witch ~ Hecate: Although Alucard has great synergy with Alma, the mischievous Hecate most certainly does not. Because of this, Alma dislikes using the witch, because it is difficult to predict whether she can maintain the form without having Hecate wrestle for control of the body. The rewards of their fusion however, are fairly great. While fused with Hecate, Alma's eyes take an abnormal hue, a strange mixture of her natural violet and a chilling shade of icy blue. The demon hunter's robes also change from their usual violet hue, to a dark shade of blue. Hecate's magical abilities bolster Alma's enormously in this form, and any use of magical energy, whether it's gravity manipulation or her energy blasts, are doubled in strength. In addition to this, in this form Alma can form dark blue energy constructs such as barriers, shields and projectiles with relative easy. Due to the nonexistent synergy between the two, Alma only has 3 posts before she is forced to revert, and most of her stamina will be depleted.
