Character Information

Summary

Very charismatic Runemaster Dryad Banshee.

She's friendly by Banshee standards, having the categories of 'useful' and 'innocents' in addition to the usual 'friends' and 'food', but is still mostly sociopathic and doesn't give a shit about anyone except her friends/family save for a dislike for killing innocents.

Goals

  • Get an actual home Achieved!
  • Get a really nice home. Partially achieved!
  • Find a new family. Achieved! Some teething problems.
  • Become a vampire matriarch / Queen, 'as beautiful and terrible as the Dawn!'
  • Go to SPAAAAACE! This one has a few problems.
  • Find the vampire that turned her. Then either thank him or eat him and make mead out of his blood. Probably both. Achieved! She couldn't eat him, but head = mist is good enough.
  • Become an awesome mage
  • Become swole Achieved!
  • Fuck a hot lady approaching her height or taller

Background

There was once a promised Awakened fashonista by the name of Amara Tanaka. However, while on a break from her career to focus on raising her daughter, she was attacked and turned by a vampire, a black sheep of the Ordo Maximus. Amara died that day, the shattered pieces driven only by hunger and loss after her girlfriend fled with her daughter.

Eventually, those shattered pieces were found by a Runemaster with more courage than sense, seeing something worth saving within the mad Banshee. With the help of the Gods the shattered shards of her mind were reforged, and Tempest was born, clinging to the gods and, soon, some found family to replace those she had lost. She joined with Ezekiel Martin's crew but soon moved to work as a more independent runner, distancing herself from others.

At first, she cared little if she lived or died, ever seeking Valhalla. Then she found some family, and clung to Midgard for the sake of her daughters and duty. Now, in the arms of a gorgeous woman, she finally has something to want to live for.

New Family

1 Runner, powerful combat mage. Has some enemies. Her appearance changed around late 2023. Archaic-speaking dramatic goth bitch.
3 Infected, wanted by the Ordo Maximus, Fed Boeing, and the Sioux National Police. Devout Norse. Strange mutations. Blew up part of the Fed-Boeing tower. Generally fond of socialising with her fellow runners, and friendly by Infected standards.
5 The contents of her bounty table, pretty much. Banshee, with a tendency towards 'avenging angel' vigilantism feeding upon rapists, abusers and the like.

  • Weapon License

Appearance

Incredibly tall - taller than most wakyambi or giants - and leanly muscular, though with 'ware giving her the curves lost by her Banshee transformation's lack of fat. She has solid black eyes and skin like bleached bone (which glows faintly), with her LED tattoos usually set to a runic rendition of the Poetic Edda covering her whole body in glowing blood-red. Her fibre-optic hair changes colour often, but she usually leaves it at its default glossy black.

  • Her Nasty Vibe aura of 'primal fear of being eaten' and Glamour interact interestingly

Clothing

She is an absolute dramatic goth with access to the Fashion spell, so her wardrobe changes like the weather, but she does have a particular style

  • In public, she usually uses a synthskin mask and polychromic contacts to pass as an albino
  • In daytime or the cold, she wears a heavy black faux-fur cloak with intricate engravings, hooded enough to hide her face - she can use magic to achieve the same, but it is uncomfortable
  • Her preferred outfit is a long dress, tight over her impressive figure but loosening out below the hips flamenco-style for some swoosh, often worn with an underbust corset.
  • In daytime or when she needs to be formal, the dress is high-collared, sleeved and paired with long opera gloves, but she prefers to show off her muscular shoulders and arms along with quite a lot of cleavage
  • Colour-wise, she wears a lot of black and red (to noone's surprise), often with silver and/or gold decoration in various intricate patterns
  • She wears a lot of jewellery in the typical goth fashion, though with a heavy Norse influence. She sometimes wears a thin crown - think LotR elf crowns with a runic twist
  • Despite her natural height, she's fond of tall heeled boots

Foci

A lot of her jewellery is arcane in nature, foci and fetishes. Their auras are hidden by her Mask when inactive, but a keen eye might note these particular pieces of jewellery are a constant in her changing outfit.
