Predatory: When overtaken by the savagery of bloodlust, typically mint colored eyes take on a hollowed out moonstone hue, glinting around the iris with the sheen of luminescence while the very center of her pupils come to light with crimson pinpricks. Both canines become sheathed with rattlesnake like fangs that hollow out at the tip and serve as a mechanism to funnel the forceful gushing of arterial flow. Bottom first bicuspids also sheath with shorter, sharpened fangs that assist in latching more effectively onto struggling prey. |

Renewed with a sense of untapped power, Sera is poised and endowed with a predatory and near feline gait. She is still incredibly attached to basic human physiology, so it would not be uncommon to witness the rise and fall of a chest that no longer requires air, the recoil from fear of pain, or the choking sobs that are utterly lacking actual tears that typically would follow. Mundanes may easily mistake her for a junkie or an unfortunate victim of anorexia, but the smell of death on her person is unmistakable to those with the ability to sense it. |

The wisp of a creature may not look like much but sans the direct introduction of a considerable amount of silver to her blood stream, she is impervious to true death. Even in the face of horrific disfigurement, regeneration is imminent and the speed with which this occurs is only dependent upon her regular consumption of blood. While disease may be introduced into her body by way of said consumption, it does not affect her in the same manner as it would a mundane. She can carry and pass on any manner of blood born illnesses but will never succumb to any of them herself, no matter how fatal it may be to mortal beings. |
>B l o o d |
The bane of her existence. Having been an actual vegan in life, the necessity of blood in order to function poses a nightmarish dilemma for the fledgling. Even though she's maintained enough principle from her humanity to abstain from imbibing the life giving liquid, the absence of it in her body inflicts unimaginable pain on what is left of her. Without it, every fiber of her being aches, similar to the aftermath of third degree burns on the entirety of her body. Her insides feel hollow, dried out and bruised and every part of her obsesses like an addict for the taste of iron on her tongue. |

Even as a young vampire, Sera possesses the physical ability to turn a human being into one of her own kind, however she severely lacks the experience or the desire to do so. There is a very specific way in which her breed of vampire turns their spawn and since she woke alone and with no one to mentor her, she really has no idea what that ritual entails other than the fact that she came to consciousness submerged in water tinged with blood. |
Telepathy* |
Sera can hear thoughts as well as project her own thoughts into the minds of others. She woke up to this ability developed in full force, though she doesn't fully understand its nature or how to harness it. Having come to in the center of a bustling business district, it was a miracle she made it out without causing (too much of) a scene. Unmastered, this ability is incredibly intrusive to both her and the people around her. Hopefully she'll get a grip on it soon. Without any ability to psychically protect herself from the onslaught of surrounding thought, she hears every thought that runs through the minds of the people around her both involuntarily and indiscriminately. Thoughts come to her clear as day, as if the words are passing from lips and not from minds at all. In these early stages, it would not be uncommon to witness her in a perpetual state of agitation when surrounded by more than one or two people at a time, succumbing to seemingly unprovoked outbursts directed at something someone likely thought in passing. It is also common to catch her shifting bewildered and knowing looks toward people she's never met. Outgoing: { 60% manifested | 80% controlled } Sera came to be aware of her ability to push her thoughts and emotions onto other people thanks to Dr. Hartley. Once he learned of her ability to hear and feel others, he suggested that she could do so in turn. She practiced on Aedan and while it's still very unpredictable, the way her thoughts and memories are portrayed, she seems to have a better grip on it than controlling her intake from those around her. Once mastered, this will be a skill useful for both silent communication *and* the luring of prey. Negative: luring prey, manipulation |
Psychic Empathy*_ _ _ _ _ _ |
Sera possesses the ability to feel the emotions of others as well as project any given emotion she chooses into others. This is not limited to humans, but it is most potent when used on the mundane. She woke up to this ability developed in full force, though she doesn't fully understand its nature or how to harness it. The result has been erratic behavior fed by a paradox which wreaks havoc on her mental state with its unstable vacillation between endless hunger and stubborn morality. While it is advantageous as a predator to use her compulsion to soothe her victims or even make them eager to present themselves, feeling their pain can also hinder her resolve, thus weakening the affect of her compulsion. Without psychic protection of some kind, she can be permeated by the feelings of other people and while the emotions are not imbued with the same potency as their original owners, too much at once will overwhelm her into a state of panic or frenzy. Outgoing: { 0% manifested | 0% controlled } There is not much to say on this facet of her telepathic ability just yet. As she comes to terms with what she is and in turn, takes to learning the nature of her abilities and how to control them, it will become apparent that she can also insert desired emotions or sensation into the minds and bodies of others. Negative: subduing prey, manipulation |
Enhancement | In addition to newly adapted psychic abilities, Sera's sense of smell, touch, sight, and hearing have advanced well beyond what one would consider normal. She can move at speeds just above what is detectable to the human eye, possesses enough strength to crush metal beneath the force of her fists, as well as pinning and restraining a full grown man twice her size without much difficultly. That being said, she is still considered to be of average strength among her peers, finding her more powerful assets to be those of the psychic variety. |
Regeneration |
Sera can heal with astonishing quickness, though the variables involved will dictate how quickly and with how much difficulty. Variables include level of blood consumption, the severity and complexity of the wound, and the nature of the weapon used to inflict it. Reattachment of limbs is difficult, though possible. It may require some ritualistic procedure similar to what was necessary in order to turn her to begin with. |
*Regarding consent |
If it doesn't come up right away, I will initiate a discussion revolving around this ability. I'm flexible with playing this with various degrees of intrusiveness based on your comfort level. If I don't bring it up, please do! It's important that this is fun for both of us! |
