Description

Personality: Hiems is best described as a stoic. Which isn't to say that she doesn't feel emotions, just that she strives to master them, to keep them tied closely to her heart. She is a hard nut to crack, motivated by the task at hand, questioning it later.

She can be vengeful, cutting loose into clouds of wrath. But such a state does not serve her well, and she tries to avoid it, preferring instead a more calculated approach to problems. She is tactically capable, and a quiet but observant person. She's good to have around, something of a troll to friends, and not afraid to put herself into high-risk situations if necessary.

History: Raised in a gladitorial circuit, Hiems learned all about show-fighting and grabbing a crowd's attention. When she was old enough to leave home, she hustled bars and gambling halls, where she learned to fight dirty. She also mastered playing darts and drinking people under the table. When she was in her mid-20s, she was tapped by one of the gods of her world to be his Rullshath and destroy the demons that plagued existance. She's been on such a quest ever since.

Rullshath: A Rullshath is a deathless champion of the higher powers. The three Kuralldesh (gods) of the world can each take a champion who will serve them until they are overwhelmed in battle or in sleep. A Rullshath is afforded fantastic strength and sustainability, and the ability to be healed by their Kurlladesh's domains.

Hiems serves Ixris, Kuralldesh of water, and so is healed by water and will never drown. However, his domains also extend to Darkness, Death, Creativity, Revolution, Swordsmanship, and Depression. Darkness, being the only 'elemental' aspect in that list will also do very little to harm her, and Hiems welcomes challenges with wielders of the type. She is also a better swordsman now that she is in Ixris' service.

For the most, she appears human. However, she can slip in and out of her full-Rullshath abilities. These are signified by her eyes glowing bright blue, her voice changing to a multi-layered voice, and the emergence of her wings, which are non-corporeal and can fade into darkness as necessary. In this form she is no more or less skilled than before, but she is able to take much more damage, as she becomes full of her Kuralldesh's spirit. Such a state can last for moments or hours, depending on her needs. She prefers not to use this state for too long, as she sometimes loses time to it.

Abilities: Very minor ice magic - mostly she can frost the ground beneath your feet, but it takes a while and a bit of concentration. Frequently she's using all her ice to layer a rime on her own skin to prevent the worst of sunburns. Flight, improved jumping, quick reflexes, improved strength and stamina.

Strengths: Swordsmanship and brawling - this girl will clean your clock and then gore you. Healed by water. Can't drown. Good with projectile weapons - especially darts and throwing knives. Goal-oriented. Can and has taken down monsters the size of large buildings on her own. Acrobatic and athletic. Physically stronger than she looks. Gets along very well with horses.

Weaknesses: Can be killed (lol, it just takes a while). Deny her access to water and mortally wound her, she's done. Albino - Sensitive to bright lights and prone to sunburn. Judgmental. Stand-offish. Has an uncanny fondness for tiny cakes. Decisive in a non-negotiable way. She makes up her mind, that's it.

Fighting Style: She's a bruiser. There's no honorable or delicate or lady-like fighting in this girl. She will punch you in the face, knee you in the stomach, crunch your instep, and run you through on the way down. She favors neither a normal nor a backwards grip, and will fight fluidly between various grips and stances in swordfighting. And then kick you in the teeth. For her, everything is a weapon. And she doesn't care how disrespectful or tactless a fight seems from the outside, the important part is neutralizing the opponent.

Other:

- She is albino. Thereby she's photosensative and prone to sunburns.
- She is extremely watchful, to the point of seeming distracted and disinterested in other parties.
- She's actually not that complicated. Lol.

Likes:
- Swords. Knives. Darts. Things with points.
- Shoes. Boots. High heels.
- Soldiers.
- A clear goal.
- Killing monsters.
- Bicycles. 8D
- Tiny cakes.

Dislikes:
- Idiots.
- The undead.
- Monsters. Dragons. Vampires. Zombies. Demons. Do I need to keep going?
- Whining.
- Futility.
