Velia Double double, toil and trouble, you just got cursed, bitch! Original Character PLAYER NAME: Tori JOURNAL: corpsequeen TIMEZONE: EST PB: Teresa Palmer

OVERVIEW What do you get when you raise a little girl on a giant space ship run by oppressive leaders, criminals, and unhinged individuals? Velia. Traveling the universe, Velia and those on the B.S. Tiamat try to save planets touched by an unfathomable force hellbent on consuming any planet they touch. The Ancients are madness personified. When the veil between their world and ours weakens, their power seeps through and begins corrupting that particular planet. If the gates their followers (Cultists, who are possessed by the Ancients' corruption) open remain unlocked, the Ancient will be released, and that planet will be destroyed. Members on the Tiamat travel across the universe, guided by their soothsayers who enter a trance-like state when the veil weakens and an Ancient begins to corrupt a planet. Sometimes, they're successful and lock the gates, banishing that Ancient. Other times, it's mission fail. The ship's lost a number of crew members as a result due to a failed mission, which results in the destruction of that planet. Divided within the battleship are 'houses.' These are based on the Major Arcana, with each house representing a certain branch of specialization. Velia is from House Death, which dabbles in death magic. PERSONALITY "You don't bite people... and you don't bring a knife to a fist fight!" Velia's guilty of doing both over the course of her life. She's scrappy, yet elegant. Boisterous, yet poised. The girl is an uninhibited, free-spirited, impulsive creature who thrives on living in the moment. A mixture of contradictions that will make someone's head spin if they ever try to understand what makes her tick. Because of this, she's quick to temper, but also quick to forget about why she got mad in the first place (exception: you do something that lands you on her shit list). Unless she wants something from you, she’s a total selfish butt. This blondie is sexually uninhibited--which is on par with life on Tiamat, considering most of the ship's inhabitants pass the time by having sex or participating in orgies. As such, she frequently fails to understand that not everyone likesbeing touched (or having their asses groped). To recharge her magical stores, she'll also participate in sexual activities. (As a note, I won't shove sexual stuff on you in our threads, but please do realize that she will turn something sexual if given the opportunity.) She tends to act like a know it all around some new people, but really, if it's outside the realm of magic or tattoos, she's likely full of shit. But hey, she is a firm believe of "fake it 'til you make it." ABILITIES Ghost whisperer. From a young age, Velia's been able to communicate with the dead. It hasn't done much for her sanity, considering she's seen things no child ever should. Each day, she's under a constant barrage of voices whispering in her ears, some corporeal, others not. It's not uncommon to see her arguing inside an empty room. Necromancy. Being a mage isn't an easy life. The body becomes a vessel for magic, running high on the risk of burnout and destruction if a person isn't careful. Velia can convene with the dead and barter with a spirit to temporarily seal it into a corpse of her choosing. What that spirit decides to do after its reanimation is up to it, but unlike many other necromancers, Velia's undead tend to actually listen to her. One spirit in particular, named Horace, has taken a liking to her over the years. Due to practicing necromancy for most of her life, Velia has developed a number of spells, some of which range from exploding said corpses she reanimates, to using the spirits around her as a temporary shield against projectiles. Tattoo artist. Artist by trade, Velia is Tiamat's best tattoo artist. But it's not just the artistry that makes her skill invaluable, but the infusion of magic into the ink. Any tattoo she makes can act as a magical battery on a person. Recharge the ink, and you've got an endless supply of magic at your fingertips. She's covered in her own tattoos, which include something which looks kind of like this design on her arms (Link1, Link2), as well as a tattoo of a bird which will fly along her body.
