Name: SilverAge: 15?
Gender: Female
Height: 5’4”
Species: Kitsune
Profession: Necromancer/Mercenary/Tavern Owner
Also known as the “Soulstealer” (a rather catchy title that she got after she humiliated the Templar order numerous times. Note: she doesn’t really steal souls), Silver is a pretty level-headed, but peppy girl…if you look past the fact that she can summon a horde of zombies at whim (in a bad mood, she summons MORE than zombies). She’s pretty much a nice person to be around, though she has this quirk of placing emphasis on a word in each of her sentences (sometimes to a scary effect).
Strengths:
Not-so-typical Zombies: Her zombies aren’t mindless, soulless sacks of flesh. The way she creates zombies is different; she “swaps” the soul of a dead person with an artificial soul. Dead soul gets taken to wherever they’re taken, and she has a functional zombie that won’t simply decay, and isn’t really that mindless (though it’s a work in progress. Sometimes she makes mistakes).
Some of her zombies include:
Paladins, Mages, Knights, Michael Jackson (don’t ask), Dragons, Waiters, Merchants, Massage Therapists, Archers, Miners, Blacksmiths, Medics (what? Someone has to fix up a zombie if they were blown to smithereens, and it’ll be a pain if she does all the work).
Business Sense: Maintaining an army of zombies does require logistics. For one, she can’t rely on their old armor (she killed them in the first place, so if she could kill them, the armor they were wearing when they were alive is pretty much useless, and let’s not get into the problem of weaponry). For that, she runs a mercenary business for anyone who needs some help, or…those who need some “insurance” on an adventure. ‘Course her prices could be sometimes steep, but they’re usually worth it.
Spirit Magic: She uses non-elemental magic, utilizing artificial spirits for attacks and defense (she DOES need to fight sometimes). Worst comes to worse, she can detonate some for some strong non-elemental boom. Of course, she uses these spirits as well to take over corpses.
At most, she carries around 30 (as the process to make them costs a lot, both of her time and resources). She can't call out more (hasn't really thought of summoning more actually, which might be good for everyone else). How she manages to make the zombies after a battle if she keeps such a few amount? She has some zombies haul the bodies back to her place where he has all the time to make some more souls in relative peace.
Dimensional Tearing: Where does she keep her army? Stocked away in some other dimension, where she can call them out on the battlefield. She could be deadly…if she used her ability to manipulate dimensions in an offensive manner, or for transportation. She’s young, so she doesn’t understand how that would work (and the last she tried transporting herself, she got dizzy and a headache after. Who knew it could get disorienting?)
Swiftness: She’s fast naturally. However, what other magic she has, she uses it to augment her speed. It can be hard to hit her, with her being small and swift.
Paper Fan: She packs a mean swinging arm when it comes to a paper fan. She never tried it with a frying pan, or a bat.
Weaknesses:
Fragile: She’s hard to hit, but when she’s hit, she doesn’t really take hits well. It’s easy to send her flying, or knock her out, which is why she needs to use her horde to act as a shield as well.
Lazy: She’s not really much of a fighter, but she does have some talent for it. She finds weapons cumbersome. You’d also be surprised to actually see her do some actual work herself, outside of her “necromancy”
Sweet Tooth: She loves to spoil herself with sweets. You might easily get on her good side if you got her a really big cake…. She’s got a very strong sweet tooth that she even gets distracted in battle if she saw something really sweet.
Hates Ponies: For some odd reason, she just…loses it when she sees a horse. When she fought the Templars, she had all the horses killed BEFORE the people riding on them. Sometimes, the Templars use this to their advantage, but sadly she has the upper hand in numbers (seeing as they keep giving her bodies to turn).
Can’t hold her liquor: She LOVES to drink. Sadly, she can’t handle it very well, and it’s easy to see her get drunk. Can be a problem at times, but this is mostly harmless.
Loves to get pampered: When she’s tired, call a therapist. She built a Jacuzzi really for herself actually, and a hot spring. All the drinks she serves she drinks herself (see above). Why walk when you can call an otherworldly rickshaw to get you anywhere you want? By the way, she loves getting petted on the tail and ears.
Weakness to Holy: She's a supernatural creature, and like most, any magic cast against her that uses the power of the divine would really put her in a pickle. The only real reason she didn't get hurt when she fought against those Templars was that she used her zombies, instead of attacking head-on. And now she has Holy-element zombies. Weird, huh? Still, if one manages to hit her with it, she'd be running, FAST.
Limited Supply: She has trouble keeping up the dimensional tears she creates, so she summons zombies in the 20s at most. She adds more as the battle goes on, but she can't summon what would be called to the scale of a zombie apocalypse immediately. She's (somewhat) still inexperienced in creating those tears (and never really thought about trying to drop a very large horde on top of someone).
Doesn't think far ahead: A good strategist would use her abilities, even at her skill level, to cause maximum damage with as few as possible. She ISN'T a good strategist. The best she can think of is "Zombie" and "More Zombie". She also likes to see them walk out just ahead of her in a charge, never really any strategic placement. This also explains why she does run out of stock a lot: she only buys for the day, and for a few people. She never does learn.
Additional background: She was a gate guard to the afterlife in one dimension...but she soon got bored of it and ran. Managing to escape, she found herself wandering several planes. Along the way, she used her knowledge of the afterlife, to be able to create a new form of necromancy. Ever since she's running, she managed to kick the butt of several shinigami that ran after her for leaving her post.
A funny story about her nickname: she came across a city where they were being handled by corrupt paladins. Being irked about it (and annoyed that she couldn't walk around without hearing the words "holy", "justice", "glory" wink , she had some zombies take out a paladin. Instead of fearing her, the people around were actually thankful to her. Sadly, that meant the paladins were going after her...which she brushed aside with her army, and now with new paladins in her army. Some paladins escaped, and went back to their organization to siege the city (which only gave her more bodies. It became to a ridiculous point that she used the very men and women that fell to her as her army, and they vastly outnumbered the attacking templars). They soon gave up, cursing the city (which the city council didn't mind) and giving her the nickname.
Her real age? 90 (don't call her grandma)
