Description of Summon: Isis is a gift. A souvenir. You may ask who would have the capability to deliver such a... "gift", to Raphael. Well, it's a simple story. This 'girl' isn't really a person, but a member of a race that is only rarely ever seen. In fact, this race of monsters is possibly one of the rarest species out there. They're known as Droklothon; men and women who, upon the return of the Sins, were possessed with a wretched energy that consumes their psyche. Now, to be more specific, the Droklothon had to have been within a kilometer of the Tower when the sins were beckoned back. It turns out that there was a port of traders and courtesans, a very tight-knit community of sailors and dancers. Isis was one of these dancers, a young woman very talented in her... profession. It was a very quiet day, really. She didn't even notice the change until a few weeks later, when her first transformation began. A transformation into a deformed monster. An angry one.

The ones quickest to transform were the luckier ones. The sins influenced these people in unimaginable ways; the ones infected with Wrath murdered or attacked people for the simplest provocations. The ones infected with Lust fell back into debauchery and all manner of sexual acts. The ones infected with Envy were equally as vicious as the Wrathful ones, and the list goes on. Essentially, they became primitive creatures resorting to their natural, unkempt persons. They had no civility or established sense of morals left, and lived entirely off of their base desires. This of course means that many Drokloths were killed over silly and simple things. And, considering they can't breed, this means that there are very few of them left. Isis is one of these monsters, corrupted by Envy. However, despite her connection to this sin, another sin took interest in her: Lust.

Lust broke her. It didn't take long, either, considering her capability at messing with people. She killed off the Envy inside of her with discipline. Whether this discipline came from brainwashing or from physical abuse, varies. Eventually, though, Isis became a weapon for Lust to utilize. Until she realized that she was sick of her presence, and how many would eye Isis while in her august presence. She wasn't necessarily jealous of her, but she was a hindrance to her success with people. Especially since having a brainwashed slave didn't make you look very humble. And, after it seemed that Cherry was taking more and more control of her, she gave Isis to the person she saw to be the most fit for her: Raphael. That man was essentially like her progeny; he was perfectly capable of keeping her in line, using the same tactics as Lust. And since he was a man, Isis had little to be jealous over. It was a fairly flawless plan to equip the man she'd practically raised into her own image with the weapon she'd raised into the image of a soldier. After all, someone had to protect her children.

Isis has the ability to switch from a humanoid with a large broadsword and a kite shield to a monster-like creature with two strange looking arms. These arms are essentially like swords, but they have been fashioned to cut through even the most tough materials. The saws along her arms plunge into thick steels/other materials and then rapidly slash through them like mad, shredding them in a matter of a second. The way this is done is simple; her arms are like chainsaws, and the saws make their rounds, slicing through whatever is in their way. On her back are very large, bug-like wings, although rather than flying you could consider what she does with them to be "gliding". She'll jump very high via traction with the surface, then descend onto her opponent, her saws ready. Of course, she has some abilities to assist her with mobility, considering she's almost entirely physically based.

Before explaining her mobility skills, I'll talk about her passive ability to never lose track of her target. Essentially, Isis can lock onto enemies and as long as they don't leave a kilometer of range, she always focuses on them. She can precisely follow their movements, and if she has knowledge of their type of weapon, she will react appropriately. This makes her very effective at countering melee attacks, as well as responding promptly. In fact, her ability to counter can be so overwhelming that she's been known to brutalize people; breaking their bones purely off of impacting correctly with their strikes. This applies to both her humanoid and Drokloth form. And, this ability also applies to her mobility skills, meaning she is very effective at closing in on targets.

First of them is Attract. It's a C-ranked skill; every time she uses it, she quickly readies her legs and then pounces long distances with outrageous speed. It's her most useful method of closing the distance via land, but there's a similar ver. via air.
This is known as Connect (also C). When she's in the air, her wings blast energy behind them and she's propelled forward very quickly. The level of speed gained from this also increases the impact of her initial strike on them, assisting in breaking their defenses quickly with her saws.
The third ability is Cross-Slash (B). When a physical or magic attack is about to strike, she'll hold her (very sturdy) blade-arms in front of her body, which harden up before the moment of impact. Once impact has been made, they very rapidly slash outwards. The slash is increased in power and range (via magic), and is capable of cutting through flesh like butter. This can also be done without countering, but the point usually to slash during the moment of recoil, almost assuring their demise.
The fourth ability is the Blade-Saw Grave (S). Isis will grow these saws all over her body, and spin wildly around like a spinning top. The saws, as well as her arms, will increase in range. The powerful aspect is that rather than a decrease of mobility, Isis will move more quickly around and be able to descend faster from the air. Considering her saws can easily slice strong materials apart, it's simple enough to say: stay the ******** away. She'll absolutely dominate anyone who tries to fight her like this. After three posts, or whenever she feels like, the spinning will end and all of the saws she grew (hundreds) will launch at the enemy very quickly. The longer she has spun, the faster and more forcefully they'll launch after gaining momentum. After three whole posts, the launch will be rapid and very hard to predict, or deal with. In fact, some might consider the launching of the saws to be Isis' most deadly attack.

It should be noted that the skin of Isis in this form is naturally very thick, similar to the hardness of steel. Her legs are also very mobile, despite carrying her seemingly heavy blade-like arms and her 'helmet'.

Now, to describe her humanoid form. Despite her imposing stature, and her very large sword and shield, she's more of an agile fighter. Her shield has the special ability to leap off of almost any surface, including air. She's extremely flexible, and along with being quick on her feet, she's very quick with a blade. So quick, in fact, that her strikes are almost as a blur. Her blade is an enchanted part of her heritage, as light as you could imagine a sword being. Her hand-eye precision is very, very good, and she's skilled at chaining attacks with her sword and shield. For example, she'll often lure someone's sword into protecting one area of their body and then bash them with her shield. Her shield is not as quick as her sword, but the blunt impact is almost bone-shattering. And with abilities, it can be more than bone-shattering.

Envying your Bones (B) is a shield bash that is increased in speed and power by a surge of bright energy. In fact, this energy is so bright that it can blind nearby enemies for a moment of it being channeled. When the bash connects, it's been known to smash through skin and flesh like a wrecking ball. People rarely survive a direct impact with this skill, although it's somewhat difficult to directly land. Still, it has other useful purposes, like disarming.

Another ability involving her shield is Save Me (C), where her shield will rapidly grow and completely cover her front like a wall. It can even grow to cover her all 360 degrees, like a ball of steel-hard defense. The expansion of the shield is rapid, although not impossible to outspeed. This ability, like all of them, can also fulfill other purposes. For example, she's been known to expand it while pressing it against the enemy's body/weapon, which essentially forces them to lose their balance and she can smash them against the ground.

Now, onto sword abilities: the first of these is Zenithblade (A). The sword can become extremely difficult for the enemy to focus on, or even see. In fact, it becomes so blurry that you can barely tell where it is or where it's slashing at. This only lasts for one post, where at the end of the post a golden sun-colored extension of energy emerges from the tip and pierces through almost any weapon.
The second, and final of her abilities, is Defend Raphael (S). This "sword strike" is actually a punch. Her arm strangely grows along her blade, extending to about six feet. She'll infuse a massive amount of energy into her fist, which will in turn harden significantly. In her next strike, she'll unleash one of the most brutal smashes known to man; whatever she makes impact with will quiver and crumble apart, bones shattering and flesh breaking. It's far more brutal than the Envying your Bones ability, which makes sense. After the strike is over, her arm and blade return to normal. It's not recommended to defend this, but to avoid it. Notably, though, until the strike is over, it will not cease. So, the best plan of action is to somehow get it to hit something else, preferably not even close to you. An example of how brutal this strike is... if it were to hit your sword, the strike would completely shatter the blade, then the impact would run down your arm and break your bones as it travels through your body. It'd probably at least fracture most of your ribs from just that one strike on your sword. Being hit with this is almost an assured death.

The switching of her human/non-human appearance is seamless, almost instant. This provides a good mix of mobility, strong attacks, quick attacks, defense, offense, et cetera et cetera. Some extra notes:

1. Her shield is harder to pierce than her non-human carcass, and is more resistant to elemental attacks.
2. Although the humanoid Isis is faster in stats than non-human Isis, non-human Isis is considered as faster because of her abilities.
3. The stats are (spd/str): 10/7 Humanoid; 8/9 Droklothon
