Gaia Name: KairiNightingale
Name: Nora Gale
Nickname: Lady Nora, Lady Gale, Ms. Gale.
Sexuality: Bisexual
Gender: Female
Age: At least a few centuries.
Race: Vampire - Nora is from a rare lineage who is going extinct due to being cursed with a great many weaknesses as well as being unable to reproduce except by turning humans into vampires.
Powers:
-- Dark Magic: Nora can summon a scythe from the demonic plane and borrow it for combat. It eats away at light and can slice through most materials and magic. It is especially poisonous to creatures of light.
-- Mist: Nora can dissipate her body into mist for a few seconds.
-- Creatures of Night: Nora can shift into a small black wolf or bat and has the ability and inability inherent in each form.
-- Night Vision: Nora can see perfectly fine in the dark.
-- Strength and Senses: Nora is up to three times stronger than she looks. She can also sense people who are of a holy or light nature.
-- Vampire's Kiss: If Nora drinks directly from a person multiple times during a short period of time, they may run the risk of slowly becoming a vampire like her.
-- Regeneration: Nora is hard to kill and can recover quickly from most wounds. Regeneration is faster when blood is consumed.
- Levitation: Through manipulation gravity, Nora can levitate and glide through the air for short periods of time.
Weakness:
Nora's scythe is not as effective against other creatures of darkness, most especially demons.
Nora's mist ability only lasts a few seconds and is especially draining.
She cannot communicate directly with animals or humans at all when in her animal forms. Shape-shifting is also extremely disorienting and draining on her.
In addition to ability limitations, Nora's vampire lineage is cursed with the following weaknesses:
- Garlic is poisonous to even touch.
- Holy water burns her like fire.
- Bright lights hurt her eyes.
- She must drink a certain amount of blood a day to keep up her health, youth, and strength or suffer severe anemia.
- Human food can make her sick if she consumes too much of it, especially non-meats and juice drinks.
- She is incapable of entering holy places of worship and becomes extremely uncomfortable near blessed or holy objects or beings.
- She cannot enter homes or living spaces without an invitation (but has infinite access when given one).
- Wounds from wooden stakes and blessed objects as well as fire, holy water, and light magic heal as slow as a human's would.
- Decapitation is fatal and a stake or holy/blessed object can instantly kill her. Fire is also extremely dangerous and kill her if engulfed and not put out fast enough.
- Human blood sustains her the most, but is rare in the city. She can drink other blood types but they do not work as well. Animal blood does very little to sustain her. Some blood from certain creatures is actually poisonous to her. Loss of blood makes rapidly increases her need and desire for blood.
- Healing magic with elements of light or holiness does not work on her, and in some cases can actually harm her instead.
Weapons: Hell Scythe
Bio: She was originally human, changed into a vampire in her early twenties. She doesn't talk about it much, nor does she talk about how old she is. She seems to have really enjoyed the Victorian Era in England but has since been bored with life. Upon finding the city, she worked her way up to become a council member and then eventually council mediator to keep herself occupied. When not performing duties on the council, she runs an antique store called 'Victorian Treasures And Other Antiquities', from which she sells furniture, costumes, artifacts, artwork, decorations, and other items that she has tracked down and collected over her lifetime.
Personality: Calm, collected, independent, active, sociable, self-centered, and often condescending. She has a great time teasing those she likes and dislikes and often hides her intentions. Nora is never afraid to voice her opinion, although she may mislead others as to what her true opinion is when given an ulterior motive to do so. Not above flirting or teasing people to make them uncomfortable or for a bit of fun. She can become very passive aggressive to those she dislikes. She enjoys attention and solitude in equal measurements.
Personal quote: "Those who lack intellectual thought are of no interest to me, and I pray that they crawl away to the far corners of the world to wither away in the most unassuming of deaths."
Likes: Reading, writing, history, culture, antiques, chatting, tea, wine, steaks, strongly flavored foods.
Dislikes: Children, immaturity, people incapable of intellectual conversation, unfounded confidence, ignorance. Especially hyperactive or arrogant people annoy her.
Secretly like: While she prides herself on having many acquaintances without many friends and never seeks long-term romantic endeavors, she actually finds her existence a lonely one and sometimes entertains the idea of what a more permanent relationship would bring. She also has many regrets about her distant past and despite seeming very comfortable and more than accepting of her life as a vampire, she still sometimes dwells on what had been taken from her in the process. Although she lives somewhat modestly, she has a great store of wealth from her various exploits during her lifetime.
Other Info: She's 5'8'' in height and has managed to keep up her strong British accent. She has a second language consisting of French. She is also the council mediator.
