Ophelia Lestat [REMAKE]

» Name: ???
» Titles: None
» Age: 304
» Gender: Female
» Moniker: Ophelia Lestat

» Affiliation/Rank: None

» Physical Appearance Description:

Hair: Blonde hair descends from an elegant and well-kept head, usually brushed and treated well but never tied or kept in any sort of fashion. Its long wavy nature is unaltered and maintained by way of various shampoos, conditioners, and a tad bit of magic. Ophelia has wanted to make it as luxurious as humanly possible.

Head: Ophelia's head is feminine, with pronounced cheek bones, rounded edges, and clear golden eyes that, on occasion, turn red whenever Ophelia is exerting particularly potent spiritual energies. With these eyes, Ophelia will gaze at everything with a cold, understanding warmth that only she understands. Her eyebrows are thin and help express little emotion other than the calm, weary expression she has when dealing with her common every day life situations. It is not often you see her without her trademark smile of calm and serenity which betrays her true nature.

Body: The entirety of Ophelia's body is slender and hourglass-shaped, with a modest C-cup bust that hides away under her semi-tight maid's outfit. Her maximum height reaches about 5'7 and her weight... well that can vary based on several things, but usually she weighs about 144 lbs. No part of her body seems to show any notable muscle mass, but that doesn't mean she is physically weak by any means. No, her body holds many strange secrets. Secrets that even Ophelia sometimes forgets.

Outfit: It is surprisingly never that Ophelia wears anything that isn't her maids outfit, or pajamas for when she's alone. She's so attached to her frilly little outfit that she'll even wear it in public when she's not on the job. The outfit looks like a red variation of a standard french maid's outfit. Her legs are covered mostly by two black thigh high socks that end in white frills, her feet adorned with black high heels that match the mostly black outfit.

When Ophelia isn't wearing this outfit, she is most likely at home in her pajamas which consist of a loose orange top and orange pants.

» Personality: Ophelia, at first glance, is a kind and caring mother figure who takes care of seemingly everyone around her. Her mouth is usually curled into a warm smile and her eyes reflect that of understanding and mercy. She does not appear to enjoy violence to most of the people that meet her. However, there is an underlying, secretive side to this woman. Ophelia's true nature is muddy and nondescript. She can appear to be a loving motherly figure, and she can appear to be a cold, calculating machine who's interested in nothing but her ulterior motives. Her mind is dead set on finding and finishing whatever her goals may be regardless of who or what gets in her way. There is no remorse in Ophelia's heart, no matter how much she may convey that to those who she must lie to on a day to day basis.

When it comes down to it, Ophelia understands the value of a life, and the weight that death holds. If at all possible, she'll avoid fighting for the dual purposes of respect and self-interest. Respect for death and its repercussions, and in the self-interest of not raising suspicion of herself. The last thing she needs is people who are actively aware of her existence. It will only make her task that much harder. As a result, Ophelia's powers are dedicated to keeping the world in the state that it is, despite her true feelings towards the world and the things on it. Having lived for hundreds of years, Ophelia has become jaded towards most of everything. All she wishes is to move on with her life, and if people will try to disrupt that wish, she will not hesitate to remove them from the world. It's not like she won't see them again in 10 years anyways.

Ophelia's interests include salty and/or bitter foods, snakes, the colors red and white, the spring and fall season, and tea. Her mentality is that the weak should become strong, or die trying, and she is more than happy in enforcing that thought. The only times she won't are when she knows the repercussions of such an act will ruin or hinder her goals.

Dislikes include toddlers and babies, the cold, bigotry (even though she's guilty of that sometimes too), people who play themselves up when they're actually quite weak, not doing anything, and things that won't die. There really isn't anything that she absolutely hates, but if anything came close it would be those who pretend they're bigger than what they really are.

In combat, Ophelia takes her time to learn her opponent's tricks and attack patterns. Even years down the line, she will remember that person and what makes them tick, making learning their abilities and personality that much more important. Her memory, much to her dismay, is actually impeccable. Chances are that something that happened to her years ago will stick with her even when she has no reason to remember it.

When faced with a situation or individual who Ophelia has no reason to fool, she will toss aside her cheery facade and show her true colors. Her face will no longer be that of a caring mother figure. Instead, it will become that of an apathetic ancient spirit who's only purpose is to break her curse and truly reunite with her daughter. She has lost the will to care about morality anymore. The likelihood that she will merely fail and repeat her curse again is very high. That, mixed with the 10 year cycle of repetition, has caused her to become jaded towards the world around her. If nothing that she does matters, then why care about what she does? Not only that, but Ophelia has simply become an uncaring individual over her many years of experience. Killing no longer hurts. Life is hardly a valuable thing anymore. And her child? That is the only thing she wishes to make happy. There are no other goals in life for her. She simply wishes to break this curse and get back to her previous, normal life.

To a degree, Ophelia has become somewhat sadistic in a sense. After losing most if not all of her morality, she has started to find emotional pleasure in watching those she dislikes suffer greatly. It doesn't matter who they are or what side they're on, it just makes her heart flutter in excitement to watch them in cry out in pain. While she won't torture them outright, she will not take the time to put them out of their misery. It's not her job, after all, to deal with their problems.



» History: Ophelia was a spiritually talented human woman with a very normal, free life. There was no other historically important moment to note. She used to enjoy things such as making music, sewing, dancing, and spending her time with her family. Unfortunately, during a series of unfortunate events, she was cursed after coming in passing with a particularly powerful spiritual being. Her husband was slaughtered, and her body was morphed into a form her daughter did not recogniaze. Not only that, but once every 10 years, she dies and is reincarnated at the exact spot that she was cursed. History repeats, and now Ophelia is obsessed with taking the limbs of extremely powerful beings in order to stitch together a new body for her to inhabit. One that would be powerful enough to break the limitations of her current one and allow her to shatter her curse. It will allow her to return to her daughter and live a normal life once more. Unfortunately, she has repeated life on this world about twenty-eight times. Her personality has become more bitter and relentless. Her mind has become muddied and clouded with memories of the now meaningless experiences she has had over her time repeating this life. It has been so long that she even has trouble remembering how she became cursed in the first place. All that remains in her memories are the feelings of when her daughter once called her mother. Oh what she would give to hear those words once more...



» Equipment:



» Skills:

• Amplified Body: Ophelia's reiatsu naturally enhances her physical body without changing its appearance in any noticeable way. Her strength increases relative to the amount of spiritual energy in her body, so the more she grows spiritually, the stronger she will become physically. This change isn't immediate, but will happen over time once her body adapts to the new energy. It can take weeks before it actually happens, making so any immediate changes in reiatsu won't instantly effect her strength. However, if it is indeed a permanent increase in spiritual power, her strength will soon follow.
  
• Unidentifiable Reiatsu: The strangest thing about her is that Ophelia's Reiatsu is not identifiable as a Reiatsu. Sure it can still be sensed like usual, unless she actively attempts to hide herself, but no matter what, her Reiatsu will NEVER feel like... well, Reiatsu. Instead, it feels more like raw energy that gives off a feeling of nostalgia, as if anyone who senses it has felt it before. Because they probably have.
  
  Those who get a decent feel for Ophelia's Reiatsu will find themselves feeling the same way they do about pleasant childlike memories, if they have any. How or when her spiritual energies started to give off this feeling, she does not know. It's been theorized by her and a few others that it is due to the fact she lives in the past, and that her Reiatsu as a whole gives off the feeling of nostalgia because of her attachment to old memories of pleasant days gone by.
  
  
• Martial Arts Training: Ophelia is highly proficient in at least two or three martial arts, though mostly uechi-ryu (originally known as pangai-noon). It involves open-handed strikes and no additional weaponry. It also involves special physical conditioning that aids in withstanding blows, although against particularly powerful foes this becomes less important, as getting hit even once will spell trouble. This also doesn't mean one can just nullify the damage, but instead avoids becoming immediately affected by the hit. Anything that's strong enough to break through their conditioning is probably something they shouldn't be dealing with in the first place.
  
  Just because Ophelia is proficient in Martial Arts does not mean that she prefers fighting close up. If she could help it, she would fight from a distant with longer range powers. The days in which she did that are unfortunately gone. Her powers are now relevant to melee combat, and so she taught herself martial arts to help with that. As much as she wishes that she had her old powers, her overall power level is hindered by the curse she holds, the same one that causes her to repeat the same ten years endlessly. As a result, she prefers efficiency over style or appearance so as to maximize what little power output she can manage.
  
  
• Swordplay and Knife-Handling: Ophelia has used most bladed weapons at least once in her life, but is particularly skilled at handling swords and knives. Her precision with them, be it when throwing them or just using them in general, is near perfect. The only time it fails her is when the person is moving at speeds she cannot see, has created illusions, or is using some other way to physically avoid her and her line of sight.
  

» Powers: Ophelia's powers revolve around manipulating and altering the natural phenomena within her body. Through movement and contact with her reiatsu, Ophelia can cause various effects within the world around her, allowing her to do things relating to altering objects or even people in varying ways. Sometimes even on spacial levels, though it isn't limited to just that. It's merely an example of one of the ways Ophelia can alter or manipulate the world or its contents.

Blade Conjuration:

Nostalgic Glare:

Half-Release:

» Pure Abilities:

• Near-Absolute Poison Resistance: Only in her Ascended Sacred State will Ophelia gain this ability. When active, however, any poison created and used by those with the same power control level or less than her will be nullified. This is because her ability to control natural poison has made her body used to the effects. No poison, artificial or natural, will affect her unless it is made by someone stronger than her. Even still, they would have to be notably stronger than her for their poisons to fully affect her. Anything lower than a full one skill level higher than her in Power Control will affect her at half strength.
  

An incantation is required to enter Ophelia's first Sacred State. It goes as follows:

» Sacred Release Appearance: A Cadenza is a solo piece of music inserted into a movement in a concerto or other work, typically near the end. Ophelia's first Sacred State is named after such to signify that she is nearing the end of her current encounter. If she cannot end it herself, the amount of energy she'll use with this release will, at worst, render her unable to continue the fight. With this, it will end in either her victory, or her death. However, this is simply the Cadenza, it is not the end. And among all of this, in the middle of a release of pure white reiatsu, Ophelia's hair turns snow white and her eyes an intense golden. A familiar form to the woman, as she's had many years to get used to this power. Ophelia sacrifices her ability to use Act Premiere to temporarily give her the following powers. Act Cadenza is roughly 1/4th of her total power.

» Sacred Release Powers:

Ripple Effect: Ophelia's reiatsu will take any force that she puts into her attacks and transfer it through one thing and into another. An instance of this would be that she strikes someone's shield, but the force of the blow carries through the shield and into the person holding it. The energy has to physically be able to move through something and into something else. If there is nothing for it to transfer into, it will simply disperse from the other side of the object. To describe it better, imagine Ophelia punching a wall and from behind the wall, a gust of air comes out from it. This is because the force of her punch carried all the way through the wall, and because it had nowhere else to go after getting carried through the wall, it was simply dispersed into the air, creating the gust of wind. The wall remains unharmed because the force was carried through it entirely.

Ophelia primarily uses this to ignore strong physical defenses and attack a person's internal organs and/or bones. A way to counter this is by putting up a shield strong enough to block the attack, without it being in contact with your body. That way, the force cannot reach you and instead, disperses into the air after getting carried through the shield.

She does not have to use this ability every time she attacks something. Blades from Blade Conjuration can carry extra reiatsu to transfer any force they carry through something and into something else, just like Ophelia's attacks. The caveat to this is that they will not pierce skin, as they momentum from the blade will instantly transfer throughout the object and into whatever else Ophelia chooses it to. All of the properties of this ability apply to the blades, as well as her other physical attacks.

Aura of Petals: A visual effect that happens when she enters this form. Her Reiatsu glows white and similarly colored flower petals start to form around her, floating away in the breeze. Really, these are just concentrated bits of spiritual energy that clump up and form petal-like shapes. They're as light as the real deal, though they're much tougher. Ophelia cannot control these petals, nor do they do anything. They're just an indicator that she is nearing her old level of power.



» Ascended Sacred State Appearance:



» Ascended Sacred State Powers: As this is a state that Ophelia has not yet reached, but has the potential to, the powers she obtains from this form are limited. However, her appearance changes to how she used to look before she was cursed, and all of her previous powers become unusable. The first time she releases in this form, only one power and one pure ability will become available to her. In addition, her Reiatsu skills will become shuffled. Whatever her Physical Augmentation is will switch with her Power Control, and her Energy Resistance will switch with her Energy Usage/Regeneration skill. Her general skills will remain the same. In this release state, Ophelia is at roughly 1/2th of her full power.

Chapter 21: Aeon of Blooming Wilds: Ophelia's old powers were the ability to manipulate nature through the use of her own Reiatsu. Because of this, her spiritual energies stop reflecting the emotions and idea of "nostalgia" and start to feel reflect the feelings of beauty and nature. Merely standing in range of her Reiatsu will make people feel serene and calm, while the actual energies themselves let off a scent of green forests and meadows. Exactly what kind of forest or meadows the person smells may differ from person to person.

The actual powers regarding Chapter 21 are the ability to cause several different types of flowers to blossom forth from the aether. The effects of these flowers have differ from each other. The way that Ophelia learns to create new flowers from this power involve spending elongated time with said flower and learning what makes it grow, its place in nature, what its effects have on humans and/or animals, and coming in physical contact with one. She would need to travel to certain parts of the world just to find one to touch, making it a hassle to assimilate new kinds of flowers into her power. In the end, she doesn't actually mind it much. Ophelia enjoys flowers so much she revolved her old powers around them, so going on trips around the world to find new flowers is exciting for her.

Ophelia can create artificial flowers from thin air, but having seeds to help real ones grow is significantly better. While real flowers can't be used for combat purposes, Ophelia's Reiatsu naturally helps all plants grow at abnormal speeds, but not through abnormal methods. She can also expand a plant's lifespan by years just by being near them for a mere moment or two. The flowers that Ophelia will be able to create upon her first entry into this semi-final Ascended Sacred State are the following:

Sunflowers: The sunflowers that Ophelia creates are extremely tough and resilient. They can withstand blows from blunt objects, block sword strikes, and even withstand other people's powers. Their actual ability, though, is to extend from a point of origin near infinitely. By this, it means that when they grow, their stalks can extend for miles and can move at speeds that would be blinding for regular humans. Ophelia can cause them to grow out of the ground miles away from her, or even the air in her immediate vicinity. She uses these as whip like weapons, or as powerful blunt weapons should she hit a person with the end of one.

Lily of the Valley: A highly poisonous flower that can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, reduced heart rate, blurred vision, drowsiness, and red skin rashes. In Ophelia's case specifically, anyone who breathes the air within 50 feet of one of these flowers will feel those similar symptoms. Their insides will twist in pain while their body forces them to vomit in an attempt to expel the poison. The victim's heart rate will start to fall to dangerously low, and in some cases lethal, levels. If the person keeps breathing the air around one of these flowers or fails to expel the poison, they will become drowsy, their vision will blur, and they will pass out. About two hours later, skin rashes will form on their body, causing them anywhere from mild to extreme pain based on their poison tolerance and their energy resistance. These flowers need land to grow in, but like the rest of Ophelia's flowers, can sprout from the slightest bit of earth. No sunlight, water, or anything else is needed. Even sand will suffice.

Normally these plants are only poisonous upon ingestion, but Ophelia's powers cause their pollen to naturally regenerate and continuously fill the air.

Gloriosa Lily: Another flower that is poisonous upon ingestion, however, that is not the reason Ophelia uses it in combat. The petals are long and separated and, with a little modification via Reiatsu, incredibly resilient. Because they are long and flexible, Ophelia uses them to restrain people. Normally flower petals would be easy to break, but usage of Reiatsu makes them able to withstand even blades. Of course, if someone were strong enough they could break/cut/destroy these petals, but that would require them to be as strong as Ophelia at the very least.

Rose Thorns: Merely thorns that can pierce or cut through soft things with ease unless their durability is up to par. These thorns are a part of vines that can be conjured from thin air within Ophelia's immediate vicinity, or can come from her body so she may better control them.

Wolfsbane Poison: Currently the only poison that Ophelia can manually create with just her Reiatsu. Her blood naturally contains this poison, and she can secrete it from her skin on a whim. These are the only two ways she can generate this poison. Skin contact is nonlethal, but will slowly numb wherever it comes in contact with. After prolonged contact with the poison, their skin will naturally absorb it (takes roughly 5 posts). When this happens, their nerves will start to feel as if they are on fire, followed by sudden vomiting and nervous excitement if absorbed in moderate amounts. Ophelia can coat her other flowers with this poison, but only after coming in physical contact with them.
