Blood Orchid

Type:  Vampire

Gender: Female
Type of Character: Vampire 

Character Description: BloodOrchid stands 5'7ft in height, with rounded curves and blood red hair that falls in waves to her waist. Her skin has always been pale and flawless, but since she was embraced it is almost snow white. She has dark blue eyes that flash or change to silver when she is highly emotional are catlike in shape, and can easily grab someone's attention and hold them to the spot. She has high cheekbones and full lips that nearly always look like they are in a playful pout. Dimples grace her pale cheeks when she chooses to smile. Strikingly beautiful, she has often used this as a weapon. A tattoo of a snake graces her lower stomach which she received when she was a child. Her voice is deep and husky, with no particular accent.

Mental Description:
Often confused since finding herself on this island. Having lost many years
her personality has changed dramatically. She was once all about her, but
now finds herself feeling loyalties to that she would have once delighted in
slaughtering. Has a habit of being edgy around people and sometimes quiet,
as she prefers to now watch others. She has a craving for knowledge and
often needs to know what is happening and why. She has a sharp temper on her
that many others just don't know the full extent of.


Character History:
A princess and priestess of the 18th Dynasty, she was the third "daughter" of Pharaoh Akhenaten, (also known as the 'heretic king'), by his third wife. Her mother not being a native Egyptian herself is the reason for Bloodorchid's looks, having inherited her mother's rare blue eyes, crimson red hair and pale skin. An evil person, she craved power and in doing so killed off many of her own family members in order to gain it. Manipulated
many emotionally and physically also, she would always be looking for a way to strengthen her own ambitions. She was caught in the attempted assassination of one of her sisters and the council had ordered her execution. She does not know how it happened but somehow managed to escape and in doing so she found herself embraced at the age of 25. For centuries she traveled the world, constantly seeking knowledge and abilities. She
spent many years during the Dark Ages in Europe, before returning to the the earlier 19th century, when war made it uncomfortable to remain. Going underground, she slept for nearly 100 years and upon awakening craved knowledge and understanding of the New World and all the opportunities it presented her. Traveling by sea she left Europe and headed for somewhere new when the ship she was traveling on met with disaster, sinking to the
bottom of the sea. The next thing she realizes is she is on this island, with very little memory of who she was and where she came from. With the help of others here on the island she has regained most of her memory but there are often times were she finds herself at a loss.

2. Isis Mirror: Also has the ability to take on the form of another person. This requires quite a bit of time and considerable concentration on her part. Not only does she take on their form but also the tone of their voice, but also this cannot be done just off the mark.

( roll of 10 to ignite, must out roll target if they resist to see true self)

2. Serpent's Stare: Like a snake staring its victim in the eye and holding them in their power, the person under the control of Innocent Eyes would be unable to move from the position they are in unless their willpower is stronger than that of the one holding them there. (out roll target)

3. Mistress' Will: Concentrating harder and holding the eye of another this person can be held for an extended period of time under her control. First though she must have a taste or sample of the victims blood. Her voice becoming a husky murmur she can ply them with suggestions where they are willing to do anything she asks of them. If they struggle with the
suggestions and feel uncomfortable it takes considerable effort on her part to continue to hold them, draining strength and energy. ( must do a ritual of 200 and then out roll target if target is uncomfortable you must out roll them by double. If Target is OC against this like sex etc. can not be forced to do.)

Needs a short amount of time to focus in on the victim and their thoughts before this can be performed. (must roll a 16 to ignite and out roll target)

3. Mummy's Touch: Gives a freezing cold sensation down the spine of the victim she is concentrating on. Causing the skin to shiver and teeth to rattle, also placing a sense of sheer terror and fear within the victim. Takes a lot of strength of will and effort, draining on her strength as she calls upon her blood to bring this ability forward. (roll of 20 to ignite target must out roll you by 5 to stop it)

Frenzy of the Beast:

1. Blood Feast: Can manipulate another to go into an insane state of madness, most effective on those that have not recently fed or are in a highly emotional state at the time.

evoking them into a mental state where anything and anyone around them may in turn become their victim. Friend or foe alike.  Needs a certain amount of time and some preparation for this to be performed. Meditation on the victim at hand.  (ritual of 1000 no roll under 15 counts, must out roll target when casting final effect, last 2 real days)
