appearance
personality
Outwardly, Luzia cultivates an appearance of normality, where she is just a girl with normal interests; including but not limited to things like pretty outfits, cute animals, and sleeping in warm, dry places. To a degree, this is true, but the sweet girl facade hides a deep evil, one that has bloomed into the mind of a serial killer, and when she has no need to keep up this act, she sheds to to reveal her true nature.
Emotionally stunted, and thus, on the childish side, Luzia is nevertheless an extremely sadistic person, taking pleasure in the pain and fear she inflicts on others. In particular, she has a deep obsession with blood, so strong that it evokes a deep, primal pleasure, a happiness that sustains her more than food or water. This obsession drives her murderous tendencies more than anything else, and she would be perfectly happy going through life killing, relishing the not only the violence of the moment, but the fear one creates from such acts. To her, fear is respect, and respect is love.
Despite years of victims behind her, and outwardly seemingly to care very little for anyone, one of the primary driving forces she has is her want, her need to be desired. The exact manner doesn't matter anymore; sexual, platonic, romantic... she wants to be wanted, to have a family, friends, though, at the same time, a part of her knows that, due to her lifestyle, she'll never get it.
background
Luzia's life as it truly began to form began with the accident that took her parents away. She was born, and for 10 years, she lived, but nothing of note began until that night. A road slick with rain and a sharp turn makes for terrible driving conditions. She survived with miraculously few injuries, but her parents died on impact.
With no other family, she became a ward of the state, and was quickly taken into an orphanage. Luzia's life, while all but idyllic, abruptly came to an end. "Ill repute" a generous description, the orphanage was little more than a building, a method for the owner to take money from the government. Life was suddenly very hard for Luzia, the least of her struggles being two little boys that made themselves bullies to new children, the newest being Luzia.
Still a hopeful young girl, despite everything, she did everything in her power to hold onto that light; and yet, with each day, the lack of kindness from her caretakers, the decrepit conditions of the orphanage, and her ever-present bullies quickly darkened her mind. Lying and stealing became normal just to get food.
She withstood this for two years, but her bullies pushed her too far, she was playing in the woods near the orphanage when her bullies appeared pushing her, taunting her, and letting her get back up just to push her down again. This time, they went too far, and shoved her down in a way that made her hit a rock. Bleeding and dizzy, something in her snapped, and the rage she had bottled for 2 years exploded, and she took the rock taking it against her assaulters' heads again and again and again until she was covered in red and the torment of her bullies would cease forever. Being so young, and fearful of the repercussions, she fled, with the orphanage burning her information as to avoid tarnishing its 'record.'
For several years, she lived on the streets, going from abuse to loneliness as she ate from dumpsters and stole money to get by. Along the way, she ended up discovering an ability, one that made her more unique than the norm: hemokinesis. Her mind snapped, and a sadism and dark nature that may or may not have been latent took effect, and though she never officially trained, over time, she learned how to use it, and came to terrorize the city she lived in as a serial killer, taking the lives of whoever wronged her, and, on occasion, simply because she had the urge.
powers
Power - Ability
Name: Blood Manipulation
Description: The core of Luzia's combat abilities, and indeed, her very being, to the point where she cannot imagine life without it, is hemokinesis, the ability to mentally control blood. A psychic ability, not magic, Luzia is incapable of creating blood, and thus is limited to move, shape, and otherwise control any blood, animal, human, or otherwise, that is not in a body, even a dead one, and performs feats and effects very much akin to any person capable of manipulating liquids. She is also able to manipulate the clotting and rotting of blood - as long as she is able to control it, and thus turn old blood fresh, though she is only able to do so up to an overnight's exposure to air (conversely, the opposite is true); by effect, blood will never rot or clot while under her influence. While most of her abilities and techniques have their own limitations, the fact that, despite her experience, she is relatively poorly trained means that she could have more to learn, with her biggest – but not only - limitations being her imagination... and the amount of blood available to her. She is capable of manipulating blood without line of sight, but it is vastly helpful, and operating without it, while not impossible, is as limiting as you would expect.
Damage Type: N/A
Subset: Control Self - | N/A | Notably the only instance of her controlling blood within a body, Luzia passively and subconsciously controls her own blood in emergencies – even while unconscious – by keeping her blood within her veins whenever her body would start to feel effects of blood loss. In simple terms, Luzia cannot die of blood loss, external or internal, or feel the effects of low blood amounts, as her powers force her blood to stay within her veins if it ever dwindles enough. This ability cannot be controlled by her; it’s as much an instinct as the fight-or-flight response, thus making her unable to die through this method even if she wanted to.
Power - Technique
Name: Blood Constructs
Description: Amongst her kind, a rather basic ability, yet incredibly versatile, is the power to create constructs of their element, in her case, blood. Vastly different from the concept of blood clotting, a natural process, Luzia is capable of solidifying blood to mimic properties of other materials, including metal, fabric, and crystal. The exact qualities of her constructs depend upon the type of material she mimics as well as her skill and knowledge in such materials; for instance, her metallic constructs mimic the properties of steel, however, it is a poor steel, comparatively fragile, though this applies more to defensive than offensive use. However, at the same time, her fabrics are much tougher, allowing them to be used as an armor slightly better than leather. Due to her powers, constructs made from this are effectively weightless for her, despite actually weighing roughly the constructs would weigh, and can telekinetically control them similarly to how she can control liquid blood. However, she is limited to basic shapes and figures; swords, axes, and knives are common examples, with things such as chains and clothes also possible, with relative difficulty.
Damage Type: Physical
Power - Ability
Name: Blood Sustenance/Regeneration
Description: As a lesser part of her powers, Luzia is capable of consuming and subsisting on blood, much like the vampires of lore. She is capable of eating and digesting normal food, but is also able to consume blood, either through traditional means, through her skin, or even through a blood transfusion. Consuming blood additionally allows her to heal, though it’s useless in a battle; rather than giving her a healing factor, it simply increases the rate at which she heals naturally, allowing a broken limb to be healed within a week if she consumes enough blood. Even limbs can be regrown, though such powerful and quickened healing requires a steady supply.
Damage Type: N/A
Subset: Hypergeneration - | N/A | As part of the several evolutionary traits that further separate her species from humans, Luzia generates her blood at a relatively extreme rate, though it doesn't kick in unless her body needs blood. The average person must wait about 8 weeks if donating about 2 pints of blood, however, as her body senses the lack of blood, it generates it at such a massive rate that she only requires, at most, a week to donate the same amount of blood again. While not particularly useful in a fight, it does allow her to utilize her blood as a resource much more often than anyone else would.
Variant: Blood Drain - | Physical | A direct application of this ability, in the form of technique, is Luzia draining her victim of blood. She favors the more traditional method of biting someone - preferably the neck - and sucking, however, as she is able to absorb through her skin, she is also able of inserting her hand into or against an open wound to do so, lacking the strength and durability to actually shove her hand into someone as an attack.
Power - Ability
Name: Blood Resistance
Description: Possessing a unique blood biology as some sort of evolutionary side-effect of her powers, Luzia has an extreme resistance to hostile elements communicable through blood, such as diseases and poisons/venoms. This means that she is immune to bloodborne diseases, and adapt a rejection of toxins introduced into her bloodstream almost as soon as it’s introduced. Additionally, she can accept any sort blood in transfusions/sustenance, including non-human, however, for the same reason, she cannot give her blood for a transfusion, with her blood all but poisonous.
Damage Type: N/A
Variant: Blood Purification - | N/A | A direct application of this ability, Luzia is also able to purify blood, pulling it away and leaving impurities behind, both macroscopic, such as chunks of body parts, or microscopic, such as what she is normally immune to. However, she still cannot manipulate blood inside of a body, limiting this any blood that isn’t in someone or something’s body.
Power - Ability
Name: Blood Sense
Description: Passively, Luzia is able to sense the presence blood, whether it’s dripping, pooled, or even pumping through someone’s or something’s body, effectively giving her a radar for living things, though it’s muddled by the mere presence of blood. Though she can only sense the general area, direction, and amount of blood within about a 10 foot area, through focus and concentration, she can extend this skill to allow her to focus in on blood so much that she can all but literally see blood through walls, and, if said blood is in a person, she can tell as much as their height and basic build as well as their exact location. Overall, however, this sixth sense has a range of 50 feet.
Damage Type: N/A
Power - Technique
Name: Blood Ballistics
Description: Not without her methods of ranged combat, along with simply controlling amounts of blood and attacking with them, she has the ability to take blood, as little as a drop, and introduce a sudden and drastic amount of kinetic energy - in other words, fire it, whether it's one of her constructs or otherwise. The speed and damage can vary depending on how much force she applies and what exactly she shoots, though the upper limit is speed and damage equivalent to bullets.
Damage Type: Physical
Power - Technique
Name: Blood Bombs
Description: Similar to Ballistics, Luzia infuses a drastic amount of energy into blood, usually in the form of orbs the size of baseballs. In this case, however, she doesn’t fire the blood, she instead simply fills it with so much energy that it becomes unstable. This creates floating orbs that, either by contact, or through Luzia introducing just a bit more energy to send it off the edge, explode violently, with force equivalent to small grenades. Though it requires a few moments longer to charge than Ballistics, she can charge a couple handfuls at a time, and can even make bigger bombs at a matching increase in charging time and explosive damage/radius.
Damage Type: Physical
Power - Technique
Name: Blood Thermovariance
Description: Among many of the things she can do with blood, Luzia is also able to control the temperature of blood, and, by extension, her constructs, to the point where she can freeze it or to the point it boils. She can do so near-instantaneously, needing just a few moments to create a source of heat or chill it, however, unlike the rest of her abilities, this requires direct contact with the blood. Larger amounts of blood also tend to require a bit longer to manipulate, with the time depending on the amount.
Damage Type: Physical
final smash
Final Smash: Blood Drive
Description: Desperation and a strange energy fueling her, Luzia sends her body into a sort of overdrive, forcing it to produce an inordinate amount of blood in a short time - enough to fill a small swimming pool - to the point where it bursts out of her veins, giving her a significant amount of blood to utilize with her other abilities over the course sixty (60) seconds. This overdose of blood also empowers her, allowing her to run faster, hit harder, and overall improve her physical performance to the point of peak human abilities. Once she reaches the end limit of the blood she creates, the Final Smash ends and her physical abilities return to normal, though all of the blood remains for her to utilize however she sees fit.
