Personality ▶
A being of an incomparable, odious nature. Flora is someone who pays no heed to anyone's needs but her own, a selfish being who acts on her own whims with little regard for the wants and wishes for others. She is of a particularly sinful stock, with even the most despicable and malignant acts being nothing more than "pleasure" to her. She gives in to her baser instincts, a bloodthirsty creature with little in the way of "purity" as others may call it. She is also highly narcissistic, in love with herself to a high degree she does whatever must be done to keep her power. Violence is second nature toher and it often shows. She shows little remorse, little care, and little hesitation in showing herself to be one of the most corrupt beings to walk the Earth.
However, this isn't to say she lacks control. In fact, despite her energetic & ruthless habits she shows herself to be quite charismatic and Machiavellian in her dealings when she can. She is quite wise, but her enlightenment is found in the worst aspects of the soul, of the deepest depths of the abyss. She quite often gives this wisdom willingly, but not without a heavy price. Despite her lack of subtly she knows how to willingly bend people to her side, knows how to take charge when it is time to do so. She is a commanding presence, a powerful figure that very few people can defy.
However her love for herself also gives her a sense of honor, preventing her to harming those who swear absolute loyalty & love to her. It is one of the few positive qualities besides her great intelligence that she shows. Those who she values she keeps safe, because she views herself as better than other & when they belong to her, they are an extension & as an extension she protects them.
Biography ▶
Can you hear the echos of the ancient histories? The untold secrets of a past lost to countless eons?
There are few who can hear these whispers. Few that know the secrets held within the dark expanses of history. Those that do were often told the tales, but there are those who were there. Those were lived within those untold ages that came before the Heroic Age, before the War of Dawn, before the world as it is now came to be. Those who helped shape the world in some way by surviving in a land so harsh that it was merely a test of their willpower to even draw breath. Those who saw first hand the most dangerous of powers that the world had to offer. These types of beings are few & far between but when they come up they bring with them knowledge unlike any other. Tales that will astonish, natures that have since faded. Time may have changed them for the better or for worse. History is not kind, but for some they still find themselves molded by its expansive events.
Flora is one such creature, a lost member of an old coven of vampires she is one of the oldest and most villainous vampires to every walk the cursed Earth. Before the vics took power, before Thentis was a plan, before the vampires took the shape they do today Flora was part of the Fomor, a clan of monstrous vampires who stalked The Black Fields, a place twisted by the pervasive powers of the Abyss. Flora lived as Cethlenn, one of the more beautiful of these vampires but no less dangerous. She was somewhat of a seer back then, ruling over the clan with her husband Balor. Flora and Balor ruled over their people with iron fists, expanding the territory of their clans with a violent fervor. There were few who were able to stand up to them, for they relied on a poisonous power. There were of course those who stepped up to stop them, to end their reign, but none of them were capable of lasting against them.
Flora herself however knew that nothing would last forever. She knew that eventually someone would be strong enough to stop them. The birth of one of her many children confirmed this for her, this one far less monstrous this one with a pure spirit. She was rare, clean of the taint of the abyssal energy that permeated the fields. Her husband wished to kill her, but Flora? Flora was not the type to fight fate. She was not the type to change history where it was not meant to be changed. She convinced her husband not to kill their child but to send her away. She knew one day this child would birth one who would lead the charge of their destruction and of this she was proud. She was going to let it be, continuing to be the monster she was.
In the meantime Flora was contacted by a sage from beyond their poison lands. He knew of her from tales, from legends of her spread by others and knew that she might be able to help when the time came. It was revealed to her that the forces of the Abyss were gathering, growing stronger. Their reality was being ripped apart by its power and that in time nothing would be left. He wished to push it back, to stop the abyss before it took hold and twisted their world even more. He knew how to attain power, power above all others , powers that could only be heard of in legends.
Flora was no hero, but she had no desire to see the world she lived in swallowed whole by some force she had no love for. She went along with his plan, but in this she learned of ascendancy. She was led to the pool where an ancient power resided. She knew if she partook in this she would become linked to a greater fate, but she did so anyway with the others. She drank of the liquid and underwent the change.
The Abyss was indeed growing stronger and stronger. She knew that soon they would have to stop it. The abyss had its own champions, one strong enough to devour all things if left unchecked. There were other ascendants, they were forced to fight together to stop it. This was greater than the fate she had when she was a mere vampire, a mere creature whose only purpose was to cause chaos. She, and the others were going to keep the universe in balance. She fought with them to push it back, day by day moment by moment they fought. She was fighting the thing that twisted her, the thing that gave her life....she felt great. She wasn't its puppet, but its destroyer.
Of course, the details of such times are known only to her and the others, but eventually the day came where they all stood as one and fought a magnificent war to push the abyss itself back until it retreated back from whence it came. The world was safe from its darkness, but they knew it would come again from the depths so they had to be ready, but for a time they were to resume their lives or pursue new ones.
She returned to her tribe, changed but they did not know this. She lived as she had before when the day she knew would come arrived. The Grandson of her daughter came to lead to their revolt. She and the others fought, but she fought knowing that she was to "die" her people were annihilated though she gave one strike to her grandson to make sure he died, her last act as Cethlenn before she moved letting them think she was dead. She moved to a place that barren, empty, cracked. Using a spell she kept the place from the sun, shrouded in a dark mist. Eventually people came to her home, made it their own. She let them. She would occasionally give them advice, but otherwise she kept to herself slaughtering those who came to close to her place of living.
However the people she allowed to live in her lands were vampires, people like her. She made sure it was a place for them to live so long as she was kept alone. It changed quickly becoming a sprawling civilizations, they left well enough alone.
However, the war between Fae & Humans would have consequences for her people as well. The Fae took her people and turned them into monsters. The Fallen, the fallen were a menace, gathering strength & power. She kept from it in accordance to the laws set by the council of ascendants. But her people suffered in the coming war. She was kept out of it, but it began to become apparent, it was more than the Fae who sparked this, but the Abyss had some hold in this. Upon this realization the council was allowing them to fight, especially once they were petitioned by the united army.
However, she would not join at first, not until she was shown that this army had some power...and this is where she met Saho. She was unaware of it, but there was some part of here connected to were but neither would truly know this instead the cow came to fight her, to show her the type of power that they might have. The fight was more than she anticipated even when she took her ring off. Though she won she knew this army might have the power to win.
Flora fought in the war, taking on the few targets who were so tainted by the abyss that the army never stood a chance. She tore apart battlefields without mercy, enjoying it more than anything. She was happy, though of course with the king of her people she made sure to wipe out any clan who sided with the fallen or bore tides to them. She was merciless, no one safe from her wrath. She was never going to allow such a thing again. She was more of a monster than she wars in her days as Cethlenn.
She moved back, living in peace only leaving her tomb to bring slaughter when it was time, or when her cravings hit high. The world around her was changing, but she mostly left it alone. Giving help to her people when it was important enough. The Former king of vampires, stepping over his own bounds. She did not act however, watching the vics take over, watching them enslave the others to their own gain. She had somewhat of a hand in it despite not being of their ilk...she told them the doing of the others. She let them know that their opportunity was nigh. They took her advice as she gave it, growing stronger. The Adze & Jiang even using a bit of her training to create stronger assassins for them to use. She remained still however, watching them change the country she watched form. She was impressed, but at the same time unimpressed with the king himself for he was pathetic man in truth.
The king came to her, unable to sire an air with the queen. Flora might have refused but she saw a spark within the queen, one that she knew might lead to some interesting event. She sired a child with the queen using an ancient blood ritual though neither of them speak of it often. She retreated back to the shadows after to let the unhappy family flourish, watching them. She offered advice when requested, gave the vampires knowledge where they lacked it, but she mostly kept to herself.
She lives within the castle with the royal family, leeching off of their good will for her own. This has been her life for some time, and how it may remain until the day her services are needed once again.
Other Vices or Virtues ▶
Not a question you wish to ask her unless you know you can survive.
Or you can ask the harem she keeps, or the lovers she has.
Or ask Saho, they basically share.

- Combat Strengths ▶
- Monster Combatant:
Flora's skill in battle is nothing to be scoffed at. While her style often seems wild she is in fact a very direct and smart fighter able to look for the weak points in peoples styles and going after them with no mercy making her capable of taking out legions of people in battle with great ease. She has a killing instinct that is almost totally unrivaled and her lust for battle only makes it worse.
She is known as being a true monster, tearing her way through even the toughest of enemies with no sense of fear, no care, no hesitation. It can be noted that in battle she grows even crazier.
- Merciless:
Flora's lack of care for anyone but herself & her toys makes it so that she never hesitates to kill or take advantage. Honor is just a word people justify weakness and she has none of it. Her lack of mercy makes her dangerous to both friend and foe alike...and she likes it like that.
- Fomor Flesh:
Flora's twisting by the forces of the abyss has left her covered in a armor skin made of her own blood that always seems to be on her body. She has shown the ability to move it & manipulate it as she wishes. It also has natural weaponry that seems to come from it, strong as steel so that she is never without weaponry. This is a trait found unique in her clan, though most if not all the others were killed ages ao in the wars.
