Shadow Master Corps: Maya Sundaresh Maya: 1st degree Master of Shadows, previously 3rd degree Master of Shadows(aka Shadow Master 3°)/also part of a secondary, elite hunter group. Motto: I'm a hunter. Master of tricks and traps. No method too low. No stakes too high. I enjoy the length of the hunt. Not the kill. Physical appearance: [spoiler]Age forgotten, appearance of age, approximately 25. black hair with red highlights. One red eye while the other is a gray blue. Slender build. Whitish skin with a light tan. Wears a black and gray cloak and tunic with many patched areas. Tight black leather trousers. Wisps of smoke constantly drip off the edges of the clothing. [/spoiler] Armor: [spoiler]uhhhh... Well.. There's none. Maya Sundaresh is better at dodging (not in the godmod way but like a nimble on the feet way)[/spoiler] [spoiler]wait! There is a vambrace on her arm. That's her armor. It has ten notches for arrows that she has set aside, because of various attributes(exploding, poison, gas, confetti, etc.) also an extremely small shadow veil shield pours out and solidifies from the vambrace. It's meant to slow down piercing projectiles and cushion the blow of blunt force. A last resort flimsy shield.[/spoiler] Weapons: [spoiler] [u]Small black knifes.[/u]: Multitude, stored within the shadow realm. The left hand carries a single edged blade. The right a double edged. When left alone for a short amount of time, they dissipate back into the shadows(the blades.... Not the hands...) [u]Long bow[/u]: made of a pure black wood. Extremely strong and fires arrows powerfully. When being fired, Maya grabs in front of the string ripping an access point open to allow the next arrow to notch. Pulling back and grabbing the string as well. Allows continuous firing without moving the arm down [u]Spears[/u]: conjured by retrieving from the Shadow Realm, this is a preset weapon, and has no copies(if stolen I have to get it back). This weapon is hardly used except in desolate anger. When facing a dire situation, this spear can be revealed to be a thin sword by removing the wooden staff outer edges. It is a Cursed blade stolen from Maya's father. Composed of metal that grows within the City Under the Sun. Nigh unbreakable. Believe me. Maya has tried again and again in anger to destroy it. It enhances the speed of the wielder tenfold which increases quickly after that from the curse. And there is very little it cannot cleave. Magic has no effect on the Cursed blade. It resists transfer of any energy based attacks (not blocks, just resists which means strong enough energy can still get past albeit weakened). Can be destroyed by throwing it in a new born star, and left alone for two months. Any other somehow successful destruction. The curse it wields will be released upon destruction. (The curse is a trio of shadow Demons from the shadow realm. They are unified and speak through one raspy voice. Always hungry for destruction. Greatest wish for them is to be released in this dimension where if they do get released, they will never ever be captured again except by the entity of the Shadow Realm herself (One of Twigs characters) It's downfall of using the blade unprotected by the staff's form is that Maya will begin to become possessed. Once fully possessed. The sword must be physically removed from her person and she must be exorcised of the demons. DO NOT ALLOW HER TO ENTER THE SHADOW REALM WHILE POSSESSED. IF THIS HAPPENS. SHE COULD WREAK HAVOC WITHOUT EVER GETTING APPREHENDED AGAIN. So use large flash bangs to wash out all shadows, or plunge everything into pitch black darkness (second option is more dangerous but easier to accomplish for lengthy periods of time. Dangerous cuz the possessed version of Maya can still see perfectly) Update: Maya transcribed a greenish seal into her hip that helps her control the Cursed Blade when in use. Not a permanent solution. Just to help slow the possession down or to negate the possession when not in an intense fight.[/spoiler] Abilities:(via Shadow Master Corps) [spoiler]Shadow manipulation/A very tight grasp of shadow world control. (An interdimensionary realm of shadows. Imagine a gas cloud in space if you want a mental image but darker and chock full of red and black. The shadows take on a more smoke like appearance there. Easy to get lost for the newer shadow trainees.) Included: teleportation, (oneself and other objects) clones, traps, (I.e. Dig a hole. Fill it with shadows and change the appearance to convey normalcy) storage, a safe zone, shadow barrier [A thick wall that can be pierced only by the strongest of projectiles but not blades.(needs considerable speed and momentum to pierce.)] and to skrew the vision of opponents and prey. Also possible: forcing the shadow down the throats of enemies to cause obstruction of breathing. Ability to hide in plain sight just by standing in a normal shadow. There is one dangerous ability/move I can use. You may have seen me use it once before. But I'm not revealing its nature here. It's extremely dangerous to me. Even fatally so... It's a last ditch power move. If it pops up on any fight of mine. I'll explain it then. Not before. It's secret. Haha[/spoiler] Abilities: (via the elite hunter group) [spoiler]Keen eyesight (dark/length), strong sense of smell. Ability to grasp the intent of animals communications. (I.e. Warnings, targets, basic info etc). One of the best trackers around. Knowledge of hiding without the use of 'Shadows'. [/spoiler] Weakness: [spoiler] · an excess of light as such that no shadows can be seen anywhere. A shadow is needed to enter or access the shadow realm. But exiting can be done without the need of a normal shadow. · Pitch black. Some form of light is needed for shadows to be seen.... ·Pure light. If the light successfully washes away every shadow available. Them I can't access the shadow dimension or it's abilities · A normal human body so... Fatal stabs, cuts, etc. Anything that would kill a strong hooman. It'll do the same to Maya. Minor injuries are inconsequential as minor injuries are quickly healed through shadow abilities, so no making her tired or bleed out from massive amount of minor injuries[/spoiler] Healing: [spoiler]i have no major healing mid fight. Smoke Bandages yes. Healing no. Requires a long time of sitting in the shadow realm. Lost limbs are not easily repaired. The other end of the limb is required. And even then it's healing and reattachement is not guaranteed. (Basically? If you cut my leg off. I attempt to finish the fight or lose quickly. So I can go back into the shadow realm. Irl I flip a coin with my eyes closed. Heads= leg is fixed. Tails=..... Well... I'm gonna need a prosthetic with a hollow part so I can fill it with tea and liquor[/spoiler] Backstory: [spoiler]Maya Sundaresh was a terminally ill child. Her parents mostly ignored her, assuming she'd die eventually. Even going so far as to having another child and naming it the same name; Maya Sundaresh. Maya, fed up with this treatment left at the age of 10 and went into the world. She stumbled into a dark padoga that seemed religious. Being there, she accidentally made contact with the being that is the Shadow Realm. (It's a living dimension. Everything within is one entity. All of the tangible physical shadows, creatures, demons, etc. Everything) The Shadow Realm dimension entity offered her power for her soul and a cure to her terminal illness. She accepted and then was found by the Shadow Master Corps (very small group who also made pacts with the Shadow Realm entity. Mostly unknown group) The Corps trained her for 30450 years (unlimited life when in a life bonded pact of the Shadow Realm) before she became a 3° master of her own and was allowed to live her own life in accordance to the Shadow Master Corps religious doctrine. Joined the dojo, began to train Roy, a child of light and dark with an affinity but not pact with the Shadow Realm. Eventually left the dojo in search of the method of the Green Seal to slow down the possession rate of her Cursed Blade and to work on getting promoted two more times to 1st degree Master of Shadows. She is now one rank away from attaining Shadow Priest. The final Testament to her long journey as a Shadow Realm religious apostate. Promotion will happen soon and will come with a slew of new abilities. [i][b]Roy Is another rp character from a separate person[/b][/i][quote]that's all I got for backstory for now[/quote][/spoiler]
