[[ I dislike doing character sheets, sometimes. I had to do one for a chatroom I moderate in dAmn, so I did this. It's not my usual character, it has quite the many mistakes, and well, yeah. lol, but, well, only sheet I've found as of late]] Name: Inéz De La Cruz Sex: Female Age: 20 Race: Human Physical Description: Inéz is far from the stereotypical redhead, though some small details are still present in her form. Her Spaniard descend makes itself be known through small hints in her appearance. Ivory skin with a gentle milky hue adorns her curves, which are moderate, nothing out of proportion. Not much upfront, not too little behind. Shes the type of girl with a petite build and fresh and young facial faction with simple and scarce features that could give away her ages. Her body is well toned, muscled and trained. Despite retaining the simple beauty she was blessed with from her birth, she has a very athletic and strong body able to perform at its optimum capacity most of the time, under any given situation. Usually she well toned stomach and abdominals -which look well developed without taking from her femininity- are concealed beneath her top(s). Strong arms but subtle in mass and muscle are always concealed, one way or another. If anything, Inez dislikes showing off too much. Inéz has high cheekbones that hide discreetly under her cheeks, and mature features that give her an outwards older appearance despite her body and frame. With Plum rosy lips that always rest pursed in a neutral expression lay in contrast with her pale skin, she retains an exotic hint only highlighted by thin arched brows and a small beauty mole resting like a caramel toned freckle, on the left corner of her lower lip. Though, she usually hides the little freckle behind a bang of dark red-copper tones hair that usually covers half her face. The rest of her hair kept back into a tight pony tail, or occasionally left loose to curl to its will. If Inéz was asked what part of her body did she like the most, her answer would immediately be her candy brown eyes. They usually shine a bright candy brown, and when in states of heightened emotion of when there is enough light around, they change into a very subtle tone of orange. Clothing: Anything simple, form fitting would please her. While anything too loose or too baggy, or anything that exposes too much will not be seen on Inez form unless situation calls for it. Usually she is seen with either tight knee-length skirt, or some loose dress-like pants that take to her thighs and widen slightly further down the knee. As for tops anything from a tank-top, a shirt or a tee will do. Inez hates monotony, so she likes to mix things up and mix-match her outfits As long as they look good on her, she will be content. Despite this, she will not wear anything that hides too much or anything that reveals too much. Thats of course unless the situation calls for it. Weapons:She is able to do well with whatever is available at the time, but prefers to carry on her form some sort of knife(or bladed weapon). Inez doesnt hold any emotional attachment to most of her weapons or blades, for they are just that. Yet she will not think twice before taking care of a dagger of a greater quality than the usual. If she has the money, she will carry around several throwing knives concealed in her form to aid her in her self defense. Among the weapons stored beneath the layers or clothing and hidden in her form, she will always carry a dagger or knife along with a few throwing knives. Usually she will wear a knife/dagger holsters around her abdomen, carrying small 2 inch throw knives in a rather long belt she conceals seamlessly beneath her top(s). Al thought it is not unusual for her to do the same thing and carry a knife strapped onto her inner thigh beneath her skirt, or even pants. When she is truly serious, she will wield her sword. This sword is named Esperanza, Spanish for hope. Yet, the name completely contradicts the very swords existence. The sword is an illusion made reality, channeled through a fine and detailed hilt. The hilt made to fit perfectly and comfortably within Inez hand, so it is thin but strong enough to hold its own weight. Made of fine and strong wood, the hilt extends to a total reach of one foot and 3 inches, while the bottom of it takes a slight curve inwards. The curve is prolonged and wide, finally creating a rather wide angle between the straight section of the hilt and the end of the curve. The end of the hilt (and curve) is flat, and lacks any detail worth the mention. Now, where the swords guard should lay instead rests a small brace of metal that clings to the end of the hilt, while leaving a hollow inside where the metal blade SHOULD rest. While the hilt is adorned with extravagant yet simplistic detail in its carving and the black and red lace that lays around it, it is lacking any metal blade or sword. This does not make the blade inexistent, only mysterious in nature. The sword is nothing short of an illusion as mentioned before -, only coming to reality whenever Inez shall will it so. And even then, the sword is invisible to the naked eye. This is possible because of Inez ability to manipulate and materialize ( using a loose definition of the word) her Ki into a physical representation of her bloodlust, into the form of a blade attached to the specific hilt. Esperanza is the name given to the blade, and not the hilt. But, to actually use Esperanza in case she looses the hilt, Inez will be obliged to create a new hilt with very strict and specific limitations and rules through a very rigorous method. The hilt is used as a medium to channel the sword, and while it is not impossible for Inez to channel Esperanza into a real sword, it beats the whole purpose of its existence. Esperanza is not limited to one form and its shape can and will vary according to Inezs emotions and desire, bloodlust, killer intent and her output of ki. Esperanza is a truly frightening sword invisible to the naked eye, unable to be perceived by a commoner or person without any real experience or magical abilities. Inez can manipulate the blades shape, strength, sharpness and length but this does not make the sword invincible; it can still be stopped by physical objects. Yet, someone with a matching killer intent, aura, ki or even magic, is able to sense and see the blade, as well as parry and/or avoid it. Esperanza is by no means an undefeatable sword; it Is only shapeless and wicked in nature. Weakness: Inez is strong, but not invincible. She is unable to surpass human limits in the middle of combat, it is not in her. Most of Inezs strength and skill lay with a sword, or any type of blade. If met with anyone with a better mastery over swords, she will most likely be rendered useless. Without her blades her strength and abilities are limited severely, improvisation can only take one so far... In the end, she is truly, only human - Specialties/Powers: Inezs abilities are simple in principle and theory, while complicate to actually perform. Through training since childhood while being exposed to a rough world Inez learned to control her emotions, aura, energy(ki) and most importantly her bloodlust and killer intent. These can take different forms which compose her abilities and/or powers. First of all, Inez has the innate ability to perceive and see another persons aura. If only a faint trace, she can sense hidden intent and ulterior motives behind a strangers smile just from the feeling, patterns and fluctuations in their aura. This ability is an innate and peculiar trait Inez has carried with her since birth. Through the years of experience and interactions with all sorts of people she has learned to read minor changes in aura. And though impossible to predict behavior, mood and sentiments from aura alone, she can pretty much guess and go by intuition alone. From this trait, comes Inezs second ability. She can ' project ' her aura, covering a widespread area. Usually her aura would not be sensed by commoners or anyone who isnt trying, but by projecting and augmentation she can impose her presence and aura upon others. The effects go according to her mood, really depends on the impression she wants to leave. She can make herself easier to approach by allowing a warm and inviting aura/presence to escape her, or she can make herself dangerously unattainable by projecting a killer intent. This is pretty much a worthless ability in its first form, though it has its good uses. The third ability and the one that really sets her apart is the ability to manipulate ki; The natural energy running through each inanimate and living being. Yet, the ability goes further into detail when explained in theory. There are cases in which Ki is used to surpass human limits, Inez would be no exception. Her strength, speed and agility dont simply come because of her bodys performance. They are boosted through the manipulation of Ki inside her own body and how she has trained her own body to be able to perform with said ki. Yet, the extent of her powers take the form of a sword, Esperanza. Many, many things can be done with Ki. It can be manipulated in so many ways. One way is filtering into weapons to give them special properties. This was done by Inez personally to create the hilt for her sword Esperanza, through long weeks of preparation. This gave the hilt the ability to channel concentrated amounts of Ki, allowing Inez to create an invisible but physical materialization of her ki in the form of a blade. This of course is possible exclusively through the custom make hilt. The manifestation of raw ki becomes solid, but not definite. It can change in form, strength, consistency and sharpness upon Inez will. She can make it take the form of a rather thin and long blade, while she can make it mimic the shape of a scimitar. Inez can also make the blade dull, sharp, or even intangible. This blade of ki is strong whenever compressed and solidified to its maximum expression of power, usually in the shape of a long, refined and exceptionally sharp blade. And though invisible to the naked eye, more experienced warriors, ability/magic users will be able to sense the strong sense of energy and killer intent from the blade. This expression of Ki is not invincible by any means, and it can be parried, blocked, dodged and avoided in many ways. Yet, that does not make it any the less dangerous. If one were to describe Inezs ki and Esperanza, simply wicked would do. Other Abilities and or Skills: After years of training during her childhood and adolescence, Inez found where she excelled. Inez is said to be strong beyond the usual strength of a regular female, to the point of being able to overthrow a grown adult male. Her speed is exceptional, even for a human. Meanwhile her athletic and flexible body allows her for much more free movement and possibilities during a brawl or fight. Her physical strength betrays her demeanor, appearance and body. While her unnatural speed only highlights her strength. Despite being talented at hand to hand combat, Inezs self defense tactics are all mostly self-taught through experience. Because of this, she prefers to wield a blade of the fight is serious. Most of her skills lay with a blade, thus she becomes dependant on wielding a knife, blade, sword or some sort of weapon. As for any non-combat based abilities and skills, Inez is a very tact, discreet and tranquil person when it comes to dealing with others and/or problems. When she was raised her guardians influences brought her up as a very social, mature but independent person. She can carry her own weight around in life, without having to lean on someone else. Personality: Inéz is actually talkative, respectful, fun yet ever so discreet. She enjoys a good conversation about any topic, and admires each individuals points of view. She is very diligent in her work, or whatever task and mission is assigned to her; looking always to better herself through knowledge while growing from experience; always looking for a challenge or a medium to test her skills and abilities, as much as her capacity. Appearing callous and cold is only part of her demeanor and the way she carries herself, but it is in no way her true nature. Outwardly, she is confident and sure of herself. Never allowing anyone to put her down. While in she does not fail at admitting her faults, she strives to better them while hiding them to the naked eye of the beholder. Inéz is kind hearted, simple and caring despite being mostly emotionally detached to the sorrow of others and how it affects her immediately. And again, despite this she is very well capable of comforting anyone she does care about. For those very same reasons, she appears to be a puzzle; harder to solve the more you get to know her. In the end, Inez has no one but herself. So she strives for her own good, always looking to better herself. Through acknowledgement she gets to know her own limits and abilities, so leaving behind a strong mark in anyone part of her life has been a never wavering motive for her to live on. Through the years many people taught her many things, gave her memories that no one could replace. So, if there are any ulterior motives for her feigned selfishness, it would be her very own selflessness that propels her forward, headfirst into the future. If so many left an impression in her heart, some bigger than others, whos to say she cannot leave her own? As tiny as it may be. But not to get her wrong; anyone she ever admired would be the apple of her eye. Devoted to make that person proud, Inez would go to the end of the world for them. Nothing becomes as satisfactory when she acknowledges the person, and she is acknowledged as well. And though usually it takes time for her to look as someone as her equal (especially someone who eventually was her superior in one way or the other) she will not lag behind. Callous and Cold, detached and proud; words written across her books cover. But once inside, they find someone with an unwavering will and a strong and deep sense of friendship, while valuing any type of relationship at all( be it a love interest, a sempai, or fellow student). Like a treasure, hard to get But well worth it. History: Inez childhood was simple but very interesting, for a lack of a better choice of words. She was raised along side her brother Draco under the influence of pestilence, war, death. In a town were bandit raids were nothing but common, and criminals found their home with ease. Strangely enough, no one dared lay a finger on Inez simply because of her upbringing. The siblings were brought up and raised by her grandparents from their fathers side. The reasons were never known to Inez and Draco, but they did know they were turned over to their grandparents after their mothers death. The father felt incapable of raising children and left them in the care of his own parents. A callous and cold grandfather that still showed a kind heart and nurturing nature, along with a sweetheart for a grandmother than only aimed to please. They would later become the biggest influences in her life, shaping her personality to portray traits, qualities and faults of both. Starting with the generations before her, her grandfathers story was nothing short of amazing. Her grandfather was known as a general in the times of war, a true general that knew not how to loose a battle. This reputation preceded him even past his prime, and even as he settled down in that small town which later became a home for crooks. Meanwhile, her grandmother was a Sorceress who posed seamstress that one fateful day fixed a shirt for a retired soldier still young and handsome. It was inevitable they hitched and settled down elsewhere. Maybe their secretive pasts lead them onto each other. But whatever the reasons, these motives would later reflect upon their grandchildren. With these two people as guardians, grandparents and even more so as Parents, both children progressed through life with the knowledge passed down to them by both. Inezs brother Draco was more peaceful and slow in nature, always clinging to his grandmother, while Inez found herself seamlessly pulled by her grandfathers subtle charm. Draco eventually was destined to take a more a simple style of life before coming into adulthood. While Inez was a bit more outgoing. Inez since little was filled with subliminal messages and rough play from her grandfather, who against his wifes wishes taught the girl how to defend herself and wield different types of blades, swords and weapons. As she came of age her grandfather taught her how to manipulate and use what he called Energeia, which in reality was Ki itself(something Inez would later learn in life). Unknown to his granddaughter, the old man had been to taste the fruit of money and success just because of the abilities passed down through each generation. These secrets were passed onto her, while her brother took the path his grandmother had once walked. |
