Thomas/Thalia [Approved 2-4] ~WiP

Sueki

Name: Given name is Thomas, but insists on being called Thalia
Age: 320
Gender: trap
Orientation: They are a part of the sanguine court

Personality: At this point in time, Thalia and Thomas have evolved in to two entirely different entities, yet they are both the same. However, their personalities are very different, and so, without further delay, here they are:

Thalia:

• loves sweets: Whatever you do, you shouldn't take Thalia's sweets from her. She is addicted to them, and extremely protective of them. It is nearly impossible to catch Thalia without a lollipop in her mouth. She does like other sweets, particularly rock candy, but lollipops are her utmost favorite.
  
• Playful: Thalia won't ever do something in a boring manner, always making whatever she is doing in to a game. If she can't figure out a way to have fun with it, she will make up excuses, or outright refuse to do it. She almost died once because she refused to go drink some blood "because it was too boring".
  
• Issues with authority: Thalia does not like any body of authority, even having a slight dislike for the sanguine court. She keeps this to herself for the most part though, at most giving a small glare to some of the higher ups within the court. She often ignores any orders given to her, preferring to decide for herself what to do.
  
• Anger management issues: Thalia is quick to anger, and when she does, you should probably look out. She will attack anyone who angers her, falling in to a rage extremely quickly. It is unlikely that she will snap out of her rage unless someone holds her down or otherwise prevents her from getting to her target while the target is removed from her site. Even then, it will take a while for her to calm, averaging at approximately 15 minutes from the point at which she can't see her target any more.
  
• Seductress: When she meets a male, or even most females, Thalia will attempt to seduce them in to having sex with her. She doesn't care whether her methods are underhanded or scary, in fact she prefers black mail and making the person afraid, as those can be used for return visits. She can't help but lust after almost everyone she sees, it is just something that happens.
  

Thomas:

• Violent: Thomas is violent, a fighter by nature. However, even this violence is quite elegant, performed with fluid, feminine movements. This is proof that Thomas is not purely the manly side, and he does have some feminine aspects.
  
• Lusts for battle: Like someone who had been forced to endure without sex for years, Thomas yearns to be on the battlefield. He prefers to fight, showing off his true nature. In his mind. it is only on the battlefield that he and Thalia can work together, returning to the true androgynous person they truly are.
  
• Extremely loyal to the sanguine court: Unlike Thalia, who has trouble with authority, Thomas is bound extremely deeply to the sanguine court. If it were in his hands, they would do whatever the court desired them to do, however this is not the case. Most of the time he is contained within Thalia's shadow, acting as her power. Still, he tries to push her towards being as cooperative with them as possible.
  
• Protective: Thomas is extremely protective of Thalia and the other sueki. It is one of the few things that could push Thomas in to disobeying the sanguine court, if he was told to do nothing while a sueki was in danger. To him, they are his family now, and he must protect them at all costs.
  
• Reserved: An odd trait for a sueki, Thomas doesn't really enjoy talking and socializing with people other then Thalia, though he wouldn't often have the chance. This trait isn't so odd in reality though, Thomas actually doesn't know how to socialize with others any more, being stuck within Thalia's shadow for hundreds of years, only able to talk to her.
  

Appearance:


Racial Powers:

• Sueki do not retain any Soul State, Chi from humans or Demon powers or abilities.
  
  
• Kumopu: The ability to burst into an artificial veil of shadows and dash to a target location at extreme speeds and reform back to your usual form. This ability is the Sueki version of Shunpo and Sonido, granting them similar speeds but with a shadowy visual effect. During the moment they are shadows, they become invincible but cannot attack until they have left the shadowy state. The state will only last between the jumping point and landing point.
  
  
• Kumitsu: The ability to cover oneself in an artificial veil of shadow that blocks of Reitsu from the outside and world and from within. This allows any Sueki that has covered themselves in shadows to become undetectable. Also, if used at night or in very dark places, the Sueki becomes invisible to the naked eye.
  
  
• Blood Sucking Nymphs:: All Sueki characters live off of two things: sex and blood. If either of these are ignored, then the Sueki will start to age rapidly and turn to ash during the night of the 7th day without drinking blood or having sex. The withdrawal symptoms slowly start to becomes noticeable on the 5th day and get worse by the seventh when the Sueki will look about 100 years old. After drinking blood, the Sueki will feel full and no longer hungry. After having sex, the sueki will feel energised. After both has occurred within 7 days of each other, the body will deteriorate in age becoming more young. The actual age it stops at changes depending on the person.
  
  
• Child of the Night: When outside in the light of the moon or covered in natural darkness and shadow, the Sueki's body begins to react faster, move quicker, think rapidly and generally become much more aware and agile than if the sun was out. This also means, training and fighting in the moonlight or dark places enhances their potential, increasing their general power by around 10% giving them a small advantage over others that are not one with the night in combat. It's also no surprise that some Sexual activities are held on balconies or in the nearby forest due to the moonlight and darkness that envelops them. It is said to enhance them in the youthing process.
  
  
• Solar Frailty: Sueki have a very big weakness: The sun. They cannot come into contact with solar energy or sunlight otherwise the ageing process within their bodies starts to rapidly react and they will die within ten minutes. This makes it difficult for Sueki to fight or do anything while the sun is out and have a disadvantage against solar based characters. Fire, electricity and other non-sunlight abilities do not cause this effect. Thus, candles, light-bulbs etc do not age them.
  
  
• Human State: This is not a form in the slightest. Sueki are capable of entering a sort of meditation that shrinks their fangs so they appear to look like normal teeth. They also deny reitsu access to their powers in this state of meditation. They can move and react as normal as though they were 5-5 tier humans. However, holding this state for too long eventually tires the user.
  
  
• Reproduction Control: Sadly, Male Sueki are incapable of this trait. Women however, are able to use it at will whenever they wish. By reducing certain messages from the brain to their body, the female Sueki can stop their reproductive organs from working for a short period of time. How long they can stop it varies, but it allows them to forcefully reject pregnancy.
  
  
• Sexual Energies: Sueki require sex to survive. However, how does this actually work? It is not necessarily the act of a man and woman making love, but it can also be done between two people of the same gender and even by oneself. The more people however, the more powerful the energies are. As long as all participants climax, the energies are spread through one anothers bodies as one. It is common for people that require this kind of ecstasy to resort to incest between members of their own families due to their needs. Others take it out on other races, as it does not require all participants to be a Sueki for the energies to work.
  

Unique Powers:

• Affinity for shadows: Even more so then most other Sueki, Thalia feels more comfortable in the darkness and shadows. She gets double the benefits of the racial child of the night ability. However, it is difficult for her to be in well lit places for very long, making her extremely grumpy and should she decide to stay there for more then half an hour, her tier would decrease by 1 sub-tier.
  
  
• The shadow of Thomas: When she was a normal human, Thalia was actually a feminine persona created by Thomas, a male who felt partially female. When he became a sueki, the male half, Thomas, was trapped within his own shadow, leaving Thalia, the female half, as the only one in control. Thalia will sometimes hear Thomas' voice emanating from her shadow, and he doesn't make it entirely clear whether he is happy about their current arrangement. Sometimes he seems to tease her indiscriminately, other times he will sooth her and help her out. However, to anyone else around her, these voices can't be heard, they exist only for Thalia.
  
  
• Shadow Body Change: Thalia can actually use her control over the shadows to give her a temporary sex change, creating female genitalia in place of his/her usual male ones for the next 6 hours. When (s)he does this, there is never any risk of anyone getting pregnant, it is in fact impossible, due to him/her not having male genitalia, and his/her female genitalia reversing to male genitalia before (s)he could get pregnant. Doing this does have its drawbacks though, as if (s)he does this, (s)he will require sex within 4 days instead of the normal 7.
  
  
• Shadow weaponry: Thalia can actually solidify shadows, making them 3 dimensional objects. In addition to this, she can manipulate shadows, making them longer or shorter, larger or smaller, and changing their shape and size. This is often used to create weapons or shield herself. A single shadow can be extended up to 60 feet from its origin. To manipulate another shadow, she must first touch it with her own shadow, and she can then manipulate it for 2 posts, before she would need to touch it with her own shadow again to maintain control over it.

Umbra State Appearance:

When her Umbra State activates, first her shadow quivers, a body rising from it. It is a carbon copy of Thalia's body, except the feminine features aren't as pronounced. The hair has been cut shorter, and while he still looks fairly feminine, it is not nearly as feminine as Thalia. Her shadow disappears completely, absorbed in to this new body, now housing the spirit of Thomas within it.


Once her shadow disappears, Thalia starts to transform, slowly dispersing in to a large cloud of shadows, which then pull together, forming in to a large wolf, shadowy and with glowing red eyes. The features of the wolf are not well defined, the shadows flickering back and forth as if not completely solid.


Once Thalia has finished her transformation, shadows leak out from Thomas' left hand, like blood leaking from a bite mark, and form in to a large scythe shape, which then turns in to a black metal scythe with some glowing red glyphs on it.


Umbra State Abilities: Shared

• Two halves of the same being: Thomas and Thalia are both two sides of the same coin, connected too tightly to survive if the other one is killed. While in their Umbra State, if one would deal a killing blow to Thomas, it forces them out of their Umbra State and causes Thalia to loose consciousness.
  

Umbra State Abilities: Thomas

• Hell-shadow scythe: Thomas' scythe is not some average scythe. If one would remove it from his hands, it will disperse in to shadows, immediately reforming in his hands. In addition, it has an extremely dangerous edge. When one is cut by his scythe, a little part of Thalia's shadow, in other words, a small part of Thomas, separates from the blade and enters the bloodstream of whoever he cut. It will remain latent within the person's body for one posting round, slowly absorbing the blood of the person. After the one posting round, it will force its way out of the body, traveling like a bullet from their insides to Thomas, puncturing a whole in them from the inside. After doing this, Thalia will have been considered to have drank blood, though she will keep her current physical age unless it is over 15 years of age. If it is she will return to a 15 year old body, her preferred age. In addition to injecting a bit of Thalia's shadow in to a person, being cut with Thomas' scythe does one other thing. When his scythe cuts you, a poison leaks in to your body from the blade. This poison causes a person's pain receptors to fire at an unnaturally high rate. Anyone with Pain Endurance lower then his/her shadow affinity is sent to the floor in pain, unable to control their movements for 15 seconds due to the pain. After these 15 seconds, the pain disappears entirely.
  
  
• The body of Thalia: As a physical duplicate of Thalia, Thomas has the exact same stats as Thalia has when outside of umbra state. In addition, he has inherited all the abilities she could use when outside her umbra state.
  

Umbra State Abilities: Thalia

• Apparition of Shadows: Her body being nothing more then shadows, unless she wishes it to be solid, it isn't. Normal object will pass right through it, as if she wasn't even there. She will always solidify herself just before attacking someone, though she can solidify in other ways.
  
  
• Benefits of the wolf: Being a wolf, Thalia's physical strength and speed are boosted slightly, her strength and general speed rising by one rank. However, as she doesn't have hands, she cannot use any weapons except her natural claws and teeth. She is unable to use any of her abilities she had access to before her umbra state.
  
  
• Poison Fang: Thalia's maw has two particularly vicious fangs on her upper jaw. She uses these whenever she bites someone, and when she sinks them in to someone, they pour a poison in to their system. It is a paralysis type of poison, it suppresses the nerves related to moving the area in question. This is only affective against limbs, and so long as she keeps her teeth in the limb, it is completely paralyzed, unable to move at all. if her target has willpower higher then her umbra control, they can overcome the paralysis after five seconds, though the limb's reaction speed is slowed, their general speed with that limb dropping by 1 rank. One posting round after her fangs have been removed from the limb, the poison is purged from their body completely.
  

History:

Birth of Thomas

On the night of July 13th, 1993, a child was born in london. Growing up, things were strange for him. He seemed to have a desire for feminine things most of the time, but a fair amount of days he would go for more masculine items. His parents were very open people though, and bought him two wardrobes of clothes, one for his feminine side and one for his masculine side. Life went well early on, and he was extremely happy.

Unfortunately, this child was very perceptive, realizing things weren't as people claimed them to be. Being able to see past the veil, he realized that being of the night, ones that drank the blood of other humans, they existed. Having come to this realization when he was six, he of course told his parents and friends. His friends, being young children, thought it was extremely cool, never thinking once to doubt what he said. However, his parents didn't think the same. They punished him, believing he was telling lies in order to boost his ego. Thomas got upset at this, deciding to prove it to his parents once and for all.

One night, Thomas sneaked out of his home, walking in to the forest. He walked for an hour or two, determined to reach his destination. When he finally came in to view of the house he started to creep around, watching the house with anticipation. For a while he watched, making sure of their activities, planning his attempt to sneak in.

The request of a child

After a bit, the child walked quietly towards the house, and crouching low, he started to pick the lock on the door. On this night he had decided to dress as Thalia, the name he liked to be called when he was dressed as a female. He was only 8 years old, so there wasn't much that differentiated between males and females at this age. However, as soon as he managed to pick the lock, his plans fell apart. The whole house was awake with action, and after a few minutes of avoiding people as he scurried around, he was spotted.

He was immediately pinned to the ground by the inhabitants, thinking he was some sort of spy or something. At that moment, the most beautiful woman walked by him, and he started to struggle harder. Shouting out, he begged her to turn him in to one of them. He didn't know what had overcome him, something had just clicked within him, that he wanted to be that beautiful, even though he knew it couldn't happen. After 10 minutes of begging and crying, the woman agreed to it. She would have him become one of them that very night. Beforehand she warned him that he could not go back to his family, that he would be stuck here with them forever. Thomas didn't care though, and he quickly agreed.

At midnight, Thomas went down to a room where a couple of the men there strapped him to the table. One of them looked at another, and spoke, "Why is Miss Violette granting the kid his wish? Sheesh, sometimes I just don't understand her." With that, a needle poked his arm, and pain flew over him. It wasn't like any other pain he had ever felt, like his bones were melting, his body engulfed in flames, yet there was no fire or acid anywhere. Though he couldn't see it, more tubes and needles were added, the pain too much for him to be able to focus on what was going on. Pumps were hooked up, and slowly his blood would be replaced with blood from the one who had taken on his request. For hours he screamed, enduring the pain, strapped to the table. Then he couldn't hold on any longer, and consciousness left his form.

The second face comes forward

When Thomas woke up after the procedure, something had changed. Despite having told them his name was Thomas before, he now refused to be called that. He insisted that Thalia was his name, and he only enjoyed feminine things. He had become fairly feminine, though his body was still male. He even went so far is to ask them to refer to him as a female, but it wasn't going to happen. He was taught more about who he was now, exactly what had to be done. For the next 10 years, life would be fine, he didn't need to have sex or drink blood just yet. Thalia eagerly learned, increasing her knowledge. However, weird things seemed to happen to her. Her shadow would speak to her, making snide remarks about her on most days, while on rare occasions it would actually compliment her looks. Despite this, no one else seemed to be able to hear this voice, and it worried her.

One day, when she yawned, stretching her arms up, her shadow seemed to reach up off the floor. It freaked her out, but after a minute, she calmed down, and tried to do it again. After a few minutes of practicing, she realized she could control her own shadow, stretching it and changing its shape. Happiness filled her, this felt so natural, so right to her.

The first taste

On Thalia's 18th birthday, she was given her first sexual experience. In a night long celebration, everyone in the mansion had sex with her. Whether they be male or female, there was something for them. The men filled her ass one right after each other, and the woman just used her shaft. It was exhausting, and she passed out plenty of times, but she enjoyed immensely. A few days later she was given blood to drink, and she enjoyed the taste. For now she wasn't able to catch her own prey, so she often went to the blood bank in order to satiate her needs.

Her life was feeling great, and she practiced controlling her shadow, trying more and more complex things with it. She was soon forming weapons out of it, it was just an extension of her natural self, another limb to utilize, that was all. Years past by her abilities improving, and she was able to find prey on her own if need be. Thalia also found she could manipulate her shadow and change specific parts of her body, most notably her genitals. Things were going so well for her.

The shadow emerges

One day when she had been on this earth for 220 years, her shadow spoke to her. However, this time was different. For years it had been quiet, but now it spoke again, telling her if she allowed it, it could make her much stronger. She listened as it told her it was her other half, and that his name was Thomas. If she worked with them, their strength could grow. Each of them alone was only half of a being, only half of what they could attain together. She agreed, letting him teach her. Thomas had already figured out the secret, but he had no physical body to act with, and he was determined that she would learn it. A year passed, and Thalia mastered the movements, then they went to work. Months past, and then it happened. It clicked, the two finished it. He became the one with a human body, she had the wolf form. It was natural for them both, their true forms. However, this form was draining on them, and could not be kept up for long. They worked on it, pushing the limits of their powers as they reunited their selves.
