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 homeAchieved!- 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 swoleAchieved!- 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
- Swerve - Auntie. Disregard the fact that she's over a decade younger.
- La Rapide - Auntie

- Nearl - Daughter

Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
- Celerity / Elongated Limbs - "Hey down there."
- Changeling (Class III) - "Well. I ate another vampire and then ended up stranded in an aurora. Those mixed... interestingly."
- Common Sense - "Do I know this is a terrible idea? Yes. Am I going to do it anyway? Hell yes."
- Death Dealer / Witness My Hate - "Mwahahahaha! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WITNESS THE POWER OF THOR!"
- Dedicated Spellslinger - "I'm not a Seidrmadr. It isn't my place to call forth the dwellers of Yggdrasil."
- Infected: Banshee - "Don't worry. I don't bite people that I like."
- Too Pretty to Hit - "Heh. People get a little... distracted around me when I play my cards right. They subsequently tend to be worse at aiming."
- Mentor Spirit (Dragonslayer|Jotunnslayer) - "Thor's got my back in a fight, and Loki's got my back in a conversation, and together they're my light in the dark places where I live."
- Nasty Vibe - "I am born of death and sustained by more of the same. It shows."
- This manifests as a feeling of primal dread, of being near something higher up the food chain
- Soul Swallower - "You know those people who'll eat the McHugh's Hungry Troll Special and be hungry again in an hour? I'm, um, like that with my kind of food."
Negative
- Berserker - "Hǫggva mann ok annan!"
- Cold-Blooded - "The ice won't leave me now. Always so hard to get warm..."
- No Man Left Behind - "I had to leave my daughter behind. I'm not leaving anyone else."
- Poor Self Control (Combat Monster / Thrill Seeker) - "Indulging in one's metaphorical bloodlust helps keep the literal one at bay. Helps."
- Scent Glands - "I'm always reminded of what I am, now. Always blood."
- Wanted (Ordo Maximus - 12k, Fed Boeing - 30k, Sioux National Police - 25k)
Wanted Scoreboard
- Ordo Maximus - 12k: Killing her sire. Pro forma 'cause he wasn't well liked by them, hence small bounty
- Fed Boeing - 30k: An unfortunate mistake involving the Fed-Boeing tower, ball lightning, and civilian casualties
- Sioux National Police - 25k: Killing a Council Elder (he was a blood mage but shhhh) and his grandson for kidnapping a girl for marriage

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.
