Lilith Ithelrion

[devil]

Basic Information

Full Name: Lilith Ithelrion
Age: 110, has no memory of the past 90 years.
Gender: Female
Birthday: December 21st
Codename: Used to go by Jersey Devil until she realized there really was one...now she's in between names. Just goes by Lilith.
Classification: Unknown. (She appears to be a race of strange elf, although some of her mannerisms have been equated to an orc or much worse a ghoul. In reality she is a form of elf.)
Abilities:

Shadow Melding - She can use the shadows to blend into her surroundings. She can do a form of teleportation for a very short distance.

Healing Factor - She can heal from any shallow wound, and slashes are especailly easy. Broken bones are tough but can be done, but puncture wounds take the most time. Mortal wounds can be healed if she's given assistance by medical personel. The more serious the wound, the longer it takes. Due to this healing factor, her muscles are able to recover twice as fast as a normal woman, maybe more. Meaning she has the speed and agility of an olympian, and the proportionate strength equivalent to lifting a small car.

Enhanced Senses - She can hear and see more clearly than normal. Why she's no where near the sight of a hawk, she sees further than a human. She can hear especially well, and her reaction time is quicker due to her senses. She can distinguish certain smells and recognize them. Her eyes are equiped for the dark.

Alignment/Occupation: Unknown...
Special Skills: She has the athletic skill of a person who regularly works out, with a very high level in acrobatics. She can see in the dark in consequence of her light sensitive eyes and can deduce a liar by the pheremones they exude. Has a very strong sense of taste, making her the perfect kitchen guinea pig. She's also technologically adept.

Weapons: Her body. Her nails, her teeth, her feet and hands are her weapons. She has knives and a gun but rarely will she use the gun. She has been trained in an art of combat that utilizes a persons entire body.

The Look

Appearance: Conventional is not the word you use when you think of her, its just...a lie. Her hair is a dark reddish color, now at her shoulders. But its her face and skin that are so strange; pointed ears, like an elf, yellow eyes used to living underground...but her skin is a strange palor. It is a ashen blue. Her eyes are almond shaped and her lips are rather full. She isn't that tall and her feet are rather big. She is almost completely lean muscle.

Celebrity: None yet, I still have to figure out the graphics.

Style: She dresses in various styles depending on where she's going. But her normal style of dress when she's in the field is a pair of dark cargo style pants with a pair of black combat style boots. There is a silver chain on one side and either a black tough tie up camisole under a leather jacket or a black three quarter length shirt with a jacket.

It's The Inside That Counts

Personality: Foul tempered, territorial, dour and dark, she is the epiphany of the stereotypical 'dark elf', though its unclear whether she is or not. Her eating habits are apalling, her manners are as well, and the grace she has is in her athletic ability, not in poise and collectiveness that normal elves seem to have. She is secretive in a contradictory way, and has problems dealing with her anger. She's prone to violence and is very volatile towards people she thinks are trying to get in her way. Regardless of this when she does make friends she can try to be loyal, and will fight to the death if she feels her convictions support it.

Likes: At least three or more.

[Eating and cooking]
[Filming documentaries]
[Roaming]

Dislikes: At least three or more.

[Egg salad]
[Being cooped up indoors]
[Day time]

Fears: At least two or more.

[That she's not what she thinks she is.]
[That she'll go blind.]

Weaknesses: At least two or more.
[Light. Her eyes are very light sensitive, this can be used against her.]
[Her own nature. She quickly sabatoges herself. ]
[Blood. It sort of makes her...well...a bit more testy.]

Strengths: Two or three.
[She can see in the dark.]
[She's very athletic.]
[Good with technology]

History:

Lilith had been left alone as a baby, a very strange thing to happen to any elf. It is believed her parents met an unfortunate end. Either way she was raised in a household of elves who happened to be very very positive in their opinion towards humans. But despite their wish that she always did good, it was her ability to be easily influenced that had her thrown with the more seperatist thinking elves. So she began to have more dangerous views. But she never crossed the line between distrust and hatred.

She wasn't ready to make this decision herself, and was very confused witch side she should have; should she wish for a chance for their world to take on the humans? Or should she want peace and treaties? She didn't know, but she was starting to be a bit angry with the strange treatment she got from other elves where she was, considering her strange appearance and much more dour personality. She didn't feel like she fit in, and it would be a fustration for her for the rest of her long life.

The only thing Lilith remembered was waking up in a modern world with no memory of her past or what she was in her nineties, just before she would've reached adult maturity for an elf. Alone, again ostracized and scared she lashed out at people, attacking and mugging them in New Jersey, and using the name Jersey Devil. She adopted an accent in an attempt to fit in but it failed her constantly.

Her story begins in New Jersey, after realizing a real Jersey Devil exists she abandoned the name and now moves from place to place looking for some form of safe haven, angry at the humans and elves and unsure of what she is, she could be a friend or a foe.


The Person Behind It All

Name: Just call me Liz
Age: 21
Gender: Female
RP Experience: This is my second rp ever. My first was an x-men rpg. This place was recommended by Ivy.


RP Sample:

Lilith would crawl out of the sewer coughing and sputtering. That had gone...horribly. And here she was covered in murky water having been washed through New Jersey's sewer system in complete and total darkness. It was nasty, but she'd find something to wash off in soon enough. How did she wind up here? She didn't exactly know but it was downright damn annoying that this seemed to happen. It was like she had the crappiest luck in the world.

Her vocabulary had suffered...yea...

Anyways, she combed her long nailed hands through her dark red hair, now almost black due to the slickness of the sludge. Yellow eyes opened to the night, and letting out a sigh of relief that the flood lights were now out. Light had always been annoying and sometimes painful to her....

And now it was time for her to figure out where she really belonged...

[Abe Sapien]

I just need something clarified before I continue, what exactly is her race? She's exceptionally powerful and I'd to know a bit more how she came upon all these powers. If they're learned or was she born with. As of right now, we're not allowing "Madeup" races nor half breeds of magical beings, like as an example Elf/Orc. We do allow in for example Elf/Human or Orc/Human, etc.

[devil]

I'm sorry I had thought since Dark Elves are sometimes considered a subrace of elves that they would be allowed, its fine i can come up with something else for her race, no problem.

Either way, her powers really are just the three. But the rest of it is just how that power ties in with her. For example any athelete who works out hard enough will get stronger due to their muscles recovering and healing the tears that you get while lifting weight. If her healing is advanced its only natural she'd be stronger. Now take this and add that muscle strength contributes to speed and core control, it would affect her agility and speed as well. The shadow melding in itself isn't anything but a part of the theme. The senses would make sense for a creature more adept to livin in the dark, hence why her eyes are very sensitive to light and her skin is pretty ashen. A creature living underground for example would have adapted to either see in the dark or gain a strong sense of smell or healing.

Her powers would be natural for a ghoul at least, she's not controlling anyone her powers only affect herself...the affinity with the dark, the sensitive eyes and the violent nature would fit perfectly with one.

And I was alluding to the fact that in the actual game, it shouldn't be easy for someone to discern she's one way or the other. I had said she was in truth a sort of elf in that section, she wasn't mixed with anything except for elf. And elf with ghoulish tendencies XD I had mentioned that most people would assume she was more orc than she ever could be an elf because they normally assocaite graceful, pale peaceful with elves, not blood thirsty, ashen, and yellow eyed. I could actually have her be a ghoul....if thats okay I don't mind making changes.

Dark Elves are allowed, but when you put Unknown under race, then that means to me you haven't picked one. What is written in a bio is not IC knowledge amongst the characters and thus OOCly the admin staff must know the majority of your character. I wont say everything because that is inherently impossible. However this brings me to the point where you say her powers would be more natural for a ghoul, which to me is a separate race of an Arabic monster/parasitic entity that eats the flesh of the deceased.

The teleportation is where I'm not seeing it fit in with either species. That's not covered by Norse, Germanic or Scottish version of the Svartálfar or Dökkálfar (respectively, dark/black elves) and Drow. As as much as I know about the Arabic ghoul, it is just a individual who eats the dead. Remember, take your inspiration from actual myth and folklore, not movies, games or tv.

If you want to stick with a dark elf, that's perfectly fine. If you're leaning more towards a Ghoul, that's awesome. The TLDR version is pick a race you want and stick with it's powers.

Alright, I think I was a little bit confused by what I read before but I see what your saying now...

I understand about OOC knowledge here. In the other game I was on, I've seen some messy situations with people using bios to gain knowledge on how to beat characters or know about them without permission, pretty much cheating through metagaming. (Mostly done by SHIELD agents) It took people specificially saying what people could know IC and OOC in bios for it to be fair again.

But you are right I need to pick a race and stick with its powers, regardless of how it is. maybe you can help me?

Now I've never seen a single representation of a ghoul on any T.V., movie or game. So in reading your post i did more research. According to what I've read, since there isn't alot on ghouls, this comes up:

"The ghoul is a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting demon that can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary travellers into the desert wastes to slay and devour them. The creature also preys on young children, robs graves, and eats the dead.[3] Because of the latter habit, the word ghoul is sometimes used to refer to an ordinary human such as a grave robber, or to anyone who delights in the macabre."

To be honest I would assume that any demon who can shapeshift probably could blend in shadows, and since i refuse to make her a shapeshifter as thats too much power, I guess a ghoul is out of the question. Moving on...

Versus a Dark elf - Theres a bit more on the Norse basis for the Dark Elf, but again they seem to resemble just how I've described Lilith and her behavior.

(Its a bit long so I just pasted the link if thats ok...) www.cauldronfarm.com/nine/svartalfheim.html and thats not the only link I found, but the first that talks exclusively about that race using merely the bases of Norse Mythology.

Again not only very ghoulish in nature, but the fact that they hunt and kill living prey (sometimes human) like Ghouls do adds credit to my wording that according to most normal elves (who probably wouldn't like Dark Elves anyways) she displays ghoulish behavior, also considering ghoulish also applies to normal people who have morbid interests and are unpleasant to be around. Thats actually what I had to refer to in her bio at first, the term ghoulish applies more towards how she acts than what she is, just like in any real life situation.

To be honest I think her description fits a dark elf (the Norse basis, not any movies or games) perfectly. Glamor explains the shadow melding instead of plain shapeshifting ( I honestly think shapeshiftings too powerful for her character here, Ghoul or Elf she'd have to be hundreds of years old before I even considered adding that.), the elves themselves seem to have supernatural level strength and senses, the aptitude towards silent hunting explains the agility and nocturnal underground living explains the eyes. Their unpleasant destructive mannerisms which even got them banished as a race would fit her own nature perfectly. Now take someone who was cut off from her training at a young age and you have someone who is very very depowered and cannot rely on the weapons efficiency that others in her race could if she had spent her whole life with them. Combine that with the fact that years afterwords she was in a place where not only was her behavior very discouraged, but her own nature was being combated with the arguably more serene nature of the light elves. You have a very confused, unskilled dark elf with just athletic prowness and primal abilities you'd see with any dark elf and no ability to expand on the traditional teachings of her own race.

Sorry abotu the long winded response but I wanted to figure out what to do with her. Can you please tell me what needs to be edited out of her bio? I'm more than happy to make changes. Also to note i'll be changing her surname to a more fitting realistic one for something based on Norse. Probably Miðlangr.

EDIT:

Just thought of something. What if I stuck with the Dark Elf, and sacrificed a bit of strength and alot of the healing in order to give her higher profiency with illusion magick? That would make her glamor spells of higher quality, and therefore she could focus them more towards hiding herself than towards shape shifting conciously.
