Personality ▶
To put it plain & simple? Lyrica is a broken shell, a creature whose very nature is defined by an internal struggle against her nature & societal standards. Between one set of lives & another. One whose feelings have been lost to the fractures of pain, only able to feel against be indulging in the darkest aspects of life. She is without shame or remorse, partaking in all things abhorrent as though it were normal. She bears the sting of a life tainted, without empathy or understanding of lines that separate beast from man. She takes pleasure in the most twisted aspects of life where others would turn away. She merely plays at emotion, at affection and at love, but, her love & care is often twisted in a sense made synonymous with harm. She is often more or less blank in her presentation, distant to the reality in which she lives.
She is a loyal thing, loving her family (Generally) with all her heart but she often sets out to enforce her will upon them even where she has no authority. She is essentially a very dominant figure, the only person ever to take this from her being her mother though sometimes she attempts it with her as well. She is quite clearly in love with the worst aspects of life, twisting them into great things and shunning the light. She takes the hate she earns in stride for no ones words carry any weight but one persons.
She is no fool though, being highly intelligent & skilled she is without a doubt a very clear threat but no one is sure whether she is one their side or not. A reaperish existence, a walker of shadows. She is not to be trifled with in any regard.
Her personality is no stronger than when dealing with her mother in specifics. She seems to bear a fanatical love & reverence for her mother that is unmatched. When it comes to her mother she is the most alive, the most loving, and the most protective. There is hardly a single thing she will not do, or say in protection of her mother. She does not take threats lightly when it comes to her Goddess and will kill anyone, friend or foe. Family or Filth, that threatens her mother with no remorse. She is utterly devoted to her mother in every way.
There are times where she seems...unbalanced. Somewhat different than the normal her, but a twisted behavior that is more than just destruction, no she seems more intone with the suffering. She is more chaotic. A corrupted mind of epic proportions. Someone who cannot be saved, at least so it seems. In love with the worst humanity has to offer. The only thing she ever seems to give heed to is her mother, though this is not often set in stone as sometimes she has to be set right. She is not the knife in the dark but the chaotic monster parents tell their kids about, a poison that has taken form. Her vast fury given where she normally keeps it bottled up.
There is seemingly another personality within her, one that is somehow different. Calling herself Fan, the personality is less mad, but somehow even more cold than Lyrica even is. Fan is personable, charming, and caring but bears the same tendency as her mother to do literally anything to succeed. Fan's speech is more concise, elegant, & less jovial when active almost more like an aristocrat than a spoiled child but most times...people fear Fan much more. A separate, but same improvement on the already mad princess. They even talk to each other, sometimes it seems Fan is the only thing keeping Lyrica from going totally mad.
Biography ▶ Lyrica was born to the future queen of the vampires. One of the first born she was a disappointment to her father who wished for a son. The girl was left in the care of her mother because of this, only subject to her father words when she got on his nerves. Lyrica was often beaten as a child, not by her mother glorious hands but by her fathers for very innocuous or childish mistakes. They weren't gentle either, for being a vampire & the son of a Vic they were without control so often times she would cry to her mother, her face bloody & bruised. Her mother was always kind, singing to her to cheer her up, letting her eat or take her anger out on a doll with her knives.
Of course, Lyrica was somewhat normal until the day her father sent her away, off to the The Jiang when her mother was off on diplomatic missions. The Jiang were happy to have another doll, another blade so they instantly took her into their fold. They ignored her cries, her begging, her screaming and set her into shackles planning to transform her into the perfect little pet. It wasn't everyday they got to take some form of revenge out of the Vics, but there they had a toy, given to them by the very man who was supposed to love her but didn't for her not being the son he wanted. She was given to one they called The Jade General, who was in charge of breaking & turning various slaves for the Jiang. Her mother was told she had been killed by an assassin from the human kingdoms. That they tired to save her but no one could....there would be nothing left of her.
Her time with the Jiang was nothing pleasant, kept in a cage until it was time to train her. They was no mercy found in their action. Failure was punishment & punishments were brutal. She was pushed to the brink of death day after day. Her aggression only found her pain, her strengthen turned upon her. The Jiang did not tolerate defiance & they were sure to break her down. For decades she endured the abuse, her mental barriers falling. She began to even forget her original family and who she was. Eventually all she had were vague mental images of her family, one good & one bad. She learned to project that bad image onto the Jiang's enemies until her rage allowed to her kill. The good image was used to subdue her, to get her back into her cage. Her only solace was a mirror she could sometimes look into & speak to when the light hit it just right, and a woven choker her mother made for her with a golden pendant.
Lyrica was lost even to herself but in her place cam Fan Jiang. She was broken, a tool for use. She was frighteningly effective in their own personal force but no one was sure who she was for she was always forced to wear a mask when she was outside of the city. She was used to show just how strong the Jiang's training was, an enforcer to worked for whoever her masters sold her to for a time. She even showed that she was capable of besting almost the entirety of the Krighund in combat whether it be single or grouped. She was rewarded for her prowess & loyalty of course, being taught by the upper echelons of the Jiang though this was only to make her even better, make this her home...a type of tactic the vamps used to break people.
Fan's nature was so deadly that at some point she was even forced to do battle with some deranged cow that had be terrorizing the kingdom. She was defeated (Along with literally everyone who tried), but her performance in the battle was enough to earn the Jiang a prestigious spot among the kings forces. She remained in their service, working for the kingdom from time to time to do was necessary up until she was called to do combat with the queen in an exhibition....all thanks to a flash of her golden pendant.
The battle between the two was something unexpected, with Fan something being strong enough to contend with the queen though everyone expected her to lose instantly. It was as through Fan knew the wife of Alden somehow, as though she were privy to some manner of information that kept her in the fight. She could never win, but she did the impossible by keeping up & this brought the attention of both the queen upon her in a way that would put her right back where she belonged & change the kingdom.
The queen tracked to her to the one beautiful place in their ugly kingdom Fan was allowed to go to on her own, a small grove where the mercy of a mage allowed things to grow. Of course, the queen was not the only one to find her, but other assassin did as well...jealous of her. They attacked first, but she managed to dispatch of them all in a glorious show of violence that riddled the grove filled with blades, but her mask was damaged letting the queen see one of her eyes...and that told her something, it told her a truth she had believed for so long was nothing but a lie. The queen attacked her, She was caught off guard in an attack of sorts, hardly able to defend herself. She did her best to fight back but that night, as the moon was high she was defeated & her mask was broken....her mother saw her face.
The infamous Fan Jiang was the missing first born, the daughter who had been killed. Her eyes the same ruby her mother had given to the world but those eyes did not look upon Carmine as a mother as they once had, but with unfamiliarity & confusion. She was confused the most when Carmine embraced her. It was familiar, but she wasn't sure. Her mother however took her with her. She took her fury right to the Jiang who told the queen the truth. She was furious, but she took her...away from her home and to the place she truly came from. She spent the next decade being broken, being taught who she was. She returned slowly after so long, but she was never the same. Lyrica came home, but Fan never left. It seemed that finally broke her. Lyrica was no longer a good little girl. She was an À̵̧͕̤͙̖͇̜͛̅̉͊͊̿͂̊̊̽͘͝͠b̸̨͖̖̮͓̦͍͎̰͇̪̊͋̆̈̿̔͒̈́̐͌̏̅̒͋͜ǫ̸̙̰̯̜͊̅̋̈́͌̍m̴̖͈̠̝̯̯̗̲̰̗̳̯̀̎͛̽͗̃̒̂̒͊̔͠ͅi̵̢͈͓̥̯̣̰̰͓̟̜̱͇̪̝̊͊͆̊̏͌̽̀͋̓̍̉ṅ̴̟̟̞̥̹̪͖̰̭̘̬̞̇ͅạ̷̠̗̽̑̉̏̿̾̏̈́͂͗͝t̵̛̘͚̫̘͇̙̊̇͒͂̀̏͊̏͒̑̈́̕̕͝i̶̧̢̮̖̥̪̝̙̳͙̠̟̽ö̷͔̩͚̤͔̱̼̞̳́͂̌̈́͋̅͐́͊̌̚͘̚ͅn̷̡͈̥̳̬̋̌̓̎̈́̓́͝ ̸͈͙̼̫͍́͋̓̉̓̈́̆̽̍̃̈́͝͠ amazing child, the greatest child. and nothing was going to change that for her. No amount of therapy or talking was able to change her, she knew of truth. She hated her father. She despised him, he hurt the only person who loved her. She would never forgive it.
Lyrica's change brought concern to all but her mother who saw it as more of a gift. Where others tried to s̵̛̫̰̓̌̽͑ą̶̥̟̬̜̈͂̑ṿ̸̄́ě̴̖͔̖̟ hurt her, her mother was always there to bring her back. Her mother trained her in the ways of the Krighund so that she might be complete. Lyrica took it perfectly, her mother was proud of her. She was becoming one of the best children for her. Lyrica was proud of herself, the more she grew the easier it was to k̴̰͚͇̜̤̽̿̅̕i̵̗̘̜̺̋̀̕l̷̠̺̺̣̋̈́̕l̶̻̙̺̹̰̋́͐͛̂̿̇ play with others. She was well fed, rewarded by her other for it. She was completely unaware that her mother was c̶̡̧̘̹̭̫̻̳̘͛͌ͅö̷͎̱͓̮̙̖͎̺̲̬́r̶̛̗̲̉̇̓̌r̶̢͓̤̖̫̀̓̓̅̑͝͠ȕ̵͓̝̰̜̒̾p̷̠͆́̿͆̊̎͝t̸̤̬̼͚̰̫̀ȉ̶͔̳̦͈̋̊̍̈́͝ń̷͕̫̺̱̹̊͛͛͂̚g̴̺̘̦͔̭͇̳̉͐̓ , trying to train her even more for her eventual great task. Of course, for years & years this went on until finally Lyrica was proven to be ready.
Lyrica was even sent to live with the Upyr to cement a story about her, one that would be told to all others. While her mother sent her to the Upyr in hopes that it might fix some of the damage the Jiang did to her, she instead began to fall deeper into the lie. She took the Upyr ways, began to learn prayer & soon she began to view her mother as her Goddess. She worshiped her other mother lovingly. To most, even to the family, this was a move made by her mother to cement fragile alliances & consolidate control. A genuine show of sorts, as though Lyrica's absence was actually just an elaborate move the entire time plant the seeds.
In truth, all it did was rant her mother the perfect weapon for not only was Lyrica's deadly nature hers to command, but it was commanded with a holy fervor. Lyrica was totally subservient to her mother, to the point where she'd even attempt to hurt her mother to prove her love. It was a loyalty made completely manifest. It was all Carmine needed in truth.
Upon her return from her "Pilgrimage" her mother asked her to do something to do one thing. Kill her father, put her on the thrown. Lyrica spoke with Fan & they agreed.
Lyrica & other members of the Krighund broke into the house eventually under cover of night where they ambushed her father. It was a short lived battle but Lyrica disabled her father, even revealing herself to him to show him that it was her who was here to kill her. She savored his pain, his hatred, his pain before she killed him. Lyrica was not done. She went around the castle slaughtering everyone before she was dragged out. Her mother was proud of her, she was happy. She put her mother on the throne for good & because of that she was allowed to have as much fun as she ever wanted so long as she did hat her mom asked. She had no problem with that & has been enjoying it ever since.
Other Vices or Virtues ▶
Ask her mother & several others.
- Ｃｏｍｂａｔ__Ｓｐｅｃｓ
- Combat Strengths ▶
The Sanguine Swallow :
Lyrica's skills as a killer are intense. Trained by her mother, The Jiang, & the Kirghund in combat, but in no area did she prove to be more deadly that with a scythe. From the moment she picks one up to the moment she sets it down she a menace of epic proportions. Her skills are so intense that she has killed large groups of experienced warriors with ease, and in mere seconds of combat beginning.
Her whole combat style is based on a combination of scythemanship & an ancient system of combat used by an ancient order of assassins. The typical form of this is known as "Full Flight." it is focused of a combination of strength & elegance, simple movements meant to evoke he image of an elegant bird. Simple & quick.
When Fan is awake it becomes more of an evolved style, but one where her speed & reaction comes more into play. She is shown to even match her mother for a time. This style uses all of her, but when it comes into play her entire form is a weapon, every movement has a purpose. She is at her best, and operates to the point where even Carmine has had some manner of trouble overcoming her. It is rare, but it is beautiful in its execution.
Killing Instinct:
Lyrica also has one of the best killing instincts in the relm. Due to her relying on death to give her the biggest rush & her lack of remorse she is able to understand killing on extremely high levels. In fact, her command of killing is so high she can pinpoint the best way to kill someone within moments & with execute plans to play on these methods within mere moments. She is a menace if she wants you dead & the piles of bodies she leaves in her way.
A Black Tongue:
Lyrica isn't her mother, but she picked up a skill her mother excelled in and twisted it to her needs. Her tongue is not used to convince a person to do what she wants, no, it is meant to break a person to do what she wants. She can mentally drive a person to insanity by just talking to them, break their spirits with just a few words. She proves to be frighteningly good at this.
This is especially clear when Fan is active it becomes good enough to even drive some people to destroy themselves.
Combat Weaknesses ▶
- Loud Noises are able to throw her off balance, though they have to be acute like a bell.
- An old eternal injury sometimes causes her to flinch, it has trouble healing especially when she doesn't have blood, its a piece of cold iron stuck in her hips.
- Typical Vampire Weaknesses
Expertise ▶
- She makes a great tea she calls "The Shadows Nectar." it is tea only matched by some dumb cow somewhere else.
- She has an amazing singing voice.
- She is great painter.
Equipment ▶
Spirit of Mother Will:
Specifically created for Lyrica, her scythe is a wonderful armament meant to fit her style in every single way. It is light, but strong able to cleave through a body with a simple swing. There is a mechanism built into it by the Peri where Lyrica can feed her blood into the scythe and out from the edge of the blade allowing her to complete her blood rituals in mid-combat with more ease.
x10 Throwing Daggers:
Throwing daggers she is very proficient in. They are shaped like crosses & must be thrown a certain way, but she seems to carry them under her loose coat at all times.
X6 Long Steel Chains:
She makes use of a chain in combat at well to make up for range. It is attached to a very large metal spike. It is a thin line, but she seems to be very effective with it as well. This she got from the Krighund.
