ABOUT

CANON Original (the Project SERAPHIM series) AGE 100 (appears 30ish) BORN Ashwater, Washington SPECIES Synthetic humanoid weapon HEIGHT 5’7” BUILD Muscular/Athletic HAIR Mahogany, short EYES Forest green PLAYED [community profile] noctiumrp

GEMBOND Ruby


DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
Scars FACIAL Left side: Cross about an inch under her eye, and another horizontal that comes up from under her chin. Right side: A diagonal scar a couple inches below her other eye, across the side of her forehead, and another vertical one coming up from her chin to her jaw. The scars actually appear to be purposefully inflicted and not accidental.
BODILY Stab wound in the back of her right shoulder, another across her chest (over one and under her other breast). Various other scars, including a horizontal knife wound in her throat.

OLFACTORY Generally tries to stay hygienic, though might have some difficulty washing out the scent of sweat and blood, which she tries to mask under strong fruity-scented shampoos and body soap whenever she can (seriously). Outdoorsy (i.e. grass, pine, dirt). Those with a heightened sense of smell would likely be able to pick up on hints of death and sulfur.

ACCENT Western American (originally constructed in an underground facility below a city called Ashwater, in Washington); can imitate others, though. Soft-spoken (almost, dare I say, "cute" sounding) voice, but very foul-mouthed with it. Usually avoids pronouns such as "I" and "me" in conversations. However, it has been shown that she drops this front in favor of a more personable demeanor depending on her relationship with that person. (Sounds like Jena Malone. But a warning: Lots of cursing at the start of that video!)

ATTIRE Severe allergy to sleeves (no, not really. But she is averse to covering her arms regardless of the weather). Wears tanktops or sleeveless hooded vests. Cargo pants. Combat boots. Favors earthy colors, like green and burgundy, also black. Wears dogtags belonging to "R. Schuyler" around her neck (not her real name).

MISC Imgur album for visual reference here.
Her hands are rough and full of callouses.
Hair is always kept short and unkempt.
Cybernetic physiology: Skeleton is heavier than it would be for the average person of her height and build, causing her to weigh well over 360lbs (163kg).
Heart and brain are also cybernetic, allowing for memories to have once been written, rewritten, and manipulated. Access to her cerebral system is located in an invisible port buried under the skin on the back of her neck, on the spinal column.

ABILITIES
MEMORIES Has access to the memories and experience of eight very different skilled and unique women over the course of nearly a century.

SOLDIER Military training exceeds well beyond that of the average combat marine: Skills range from long-ranged firearms to melee weapons and close-quarters combat. Specialty lies with automatic and sniper rifles, handguns, bayonets, and combat knives, as well as disarming opponents. Along with basic first aid, she also carries the experience of previous incarnations as highly skilled snipers, soldiers, and special operatives as stated above. With superhuman endurance and equilibrium, Rey's keen sense of movement allows her to be heavily skilled in being able to run through environments via rolling, dodging, vaulting, and climbing. A significantly higher strength and pain threshold than the above-average human, which can be obvious from her well-toned physique.

SALAMANDER Possesses a particular set of skills energy called Brísingamen; this energy supplies her bionic physiology with the ability to utilize her abilities to maximum capacity. Skeletal structure is made up of fervidium alloy, a type of glowing metal that burns up when activated by the Brísingamen energy. This would not be visible unless her bones are exposed. Can unleash heat particles, generating enough energy to cause any nearby persons as well as herself to erupt into flame, and manipulate atoms to create heatwaves and bursts of hot energy. Takes on the form of neon red veins pulsating through the parts of the body energy is being applied to. Basically, she's a walking powerhouse. Immunity to fire and extreme hot and cold temperatures.

When utilized at its best (say, the rate it would need to burn a person alive), skin secretes a black, oily substance called samandrine. Can be hardened on the skin to look like black armor. Samandrine can be toxic when ingested, resulting in temporary paralysis and inability to breathe. Do not eat.

Thanks to her bionic structure, she is also built like a tank (hence why she weighs 350lbs). She can get hit by a speeding car and just walk away grumbling about it. High pain threshold.

Note: In Noctium, the larger and more intense the flames generated, the more Manna is consumed. Range is capped to 20 feet.

GENETICS Due to enhanced genetics, she is able to recover quicker from injuries. While she is unable to regenerate missing limbs or rapidly heal major wounds without rest, broken bones and minor scratches and bruises can take between a few hours to a couple days to recover from. May be able to reattach missing body parts, if given time.

Moreover, her skin and organs are cloned from the DNA of both her "mother" and "father", Dr. Undine Stransky and Lucas Coffey. Due to the immortal strain of cells belonging to her father, also known as LUC-x56 or Cleary cells, Rey has a natural ability to heal fast. But due to the mixture of the human and immortal cells, she is not quite the same as her father, and as such her healing has some limitations in that she cannot heal others. It does grant her immunity to sickness and disease.

Note: Self-healing will exhaust Manna reserves. The more severe the wound, the more Manna is taken. If Rey is nearing a Manna depletion, she will not be able to heal herself on her own.

MULTILINGUAL Fluent in 10 languages: English, Spanish, Zulu, Dutch, German, Gaelic, Russian, Italian, Arabic, and Hebrew.
Rusty in some Latin phrases.

GEMBOND As a Ruby, her existing fire abilities are amplified and utilized similar to pyrokinesis, but consumes Manna. Additional lightning-based magic.

RESIDENCY
After spending a little over a year living the murderhobo lifestyle living like a feral cat eating out of trash cans, Rey has built a modest home on a small plot of land in the forests of the Emerald District of Sumarlok with her now-handfasted partner, Kainé.

Having once been known to break into homes and steal their food and shower supplies (but otherwise takes nothing of value), now this yurt-style place by the river now houses just about everything she needs.

Built from the ground up, the rustic home somehow manages to have an already lived-in feel to it, with circular walls, furniture, and enough space to welcome guests (both human and not). Appliances seem to have been collected from random places or handcrafted, rather than purchased brand new.
 
 
 
 
Powered by a generator and a small dam up the river, and plumbing runs through the kitchen, bathroom, and an outdoor shower. Is that a barrel full of booze by the front door? Why, yes. Yes, it is.

A private loft leads to the upper section of the yurt, with a collection of junk and seat cushions, as well as pillows and duvets that seem to form a kind of makeshift bed if you squint hard enough -- really it's more of a blanket fort lit by fairy lights than anything else.

Interior is heated by a gas furnace with some insulation, and kept cool by the shade of the trees.

Outside is a campfire with a tripod and a dutch oven, for when Rey feels like indulging in outdoor cooking.

There is also a small patch of lunar tears growing around the back, with a little outbuilding that serves as a guesthouse for visitors as well as the residents for when they are not-so-human-shaped.

FUN FACTS
  • Due to her past lives having differing dominant hands, Rey is ambidextrous.
  • Despite what her appearance might tell you, she actually does love feeling girlish. Even if she's a little self-conscious about it, she enjoys having an excuse to dress up and feel like a woman.
  • Used to be deprived of her sense of taste to discourage her from participating in outings and other social events, which resulted in most food and drink to have an expired flavor to her. Because of this, Rey was not partial to eating despite the organic aspect of her body requiring sustenance.
  • Since having her sense of taste restored four years ago, Rey has developed some less-than-polite table manners and eating habits. Feel sorry for anyone who ever has to witness her feeding herself.
  • Favorite food is dim sum (specifically no mai gai and dantat).
  • Prefers lagers, but bourbon is her liquor of choice. Loves black teas.
  • Has a soft spot for animals. Refuses to hunt for food unless it's for survival. Otherwise, she prefers to purchase already prepared meat or stick to an omnivorous diet.
  • Almost never brushes her hair after waking up, meaning she has constant bedhead. Always cuts it herself with a knife.
  • Snores and talks in her sleep. One could probably have a conversation with her while she's out if they're lucky.
  • Can sleep while standing up. Usually rests while sitting down with her back pressed to something. Sometimes takes naps in uncomfortable-looking positions.
  • Doesn't sleep much more than 3 to 6 hours.
