Surren New

Race/type: Lamia
Name: Surren Seyleymor
Age: 28
Appearance: Surren is tall and slender like most lamia. The scales of her tail form a geometric pattern of whites's and red of diamonds intersecting and breaking, this pattern crawling up towards her stomach and stopping just over her breasts. The pattern retakes itself up her arms stopping over her hands. Her face is quite pale, paler than most other Lamia's she knows. Over her face is as well a single empty, red diamond right above and between her eyes. Her face itself is quite slender, with long black hair braided with golden beads, and blood-red snake eyes.

She typically wears a red and gold priestess gown, draped over her body rather than truly worn. Multiple layers of light cloth, one over her shoulders and covering down towards her stomach as a poncho, and another that trails behind her, that starts at her waist as a long skirt, longer in the front than the back.

Backstory:
	Surren was born quite frail. She was a small thing, underweight, and had a strangely pale. Her scales were a white, and red, in a cryptic pattern around her body. She was abandoned, living at the temple for the Mapmaker, taught and raised by their priests, who she came to see as her true parents. When she was growing up, another kid made fun of her for her appearance, and all their friends in joined along. They circled around her and pushed her onto the ground, scraping her arm on a rock. Summoning her powers fir the first time, she stabbed one with a knife of blood, and the rest rest away. She throttled the blood around him as he tried to run, dragging him back, before their caretaker dragged her away. From then on... no other kid picked on her, or even talked to her at that. Though, she liked the silence.
	Over the years the other shamans of her village would, not teach her as they had never seen a mage such as her, but guide her to better learn her powers. As her lessons grew on through her teens she learned to better control the blood and form greater shapes, forming blades to cut practice dummies, or use it in tasks around the temple. As well she learned to notice imbalances in the blood of someone However as more she grew in her magic, the more she grew attached to it. Others, even the shamans shunned her. After finishing her training, or as far as the shamans would allow, she became a priestess to the Mapdrawer as she was taught through her life.
	She would fulfill the normal duties for the next 8 years before slowly come to be dissatisfied with her position. The people of her village still feared her. She still both hated and liked this fear, but she still felt empty inside. She never felt accomplished with anything within her life unless she was binding the blood of another and seeing the life drip from his eyes. So one evening when a man from the outside world came to her village seeking knowledge she let him in the temple. Hearing of the world outside of the islands, and outside of her village, filled with new experiences. In return for this information she took him to bed, but before he could get undressed even, she laid upon the bed and drew her hand forward. She drew the blood from his veins, stiffing his body as he was caught off guard and forcing him to rise in the air. Drawing her dagger, she stabbed him in the throat. With his body laid across the altar to as a sacrifice to the Mapdrawer, for giving her new purpose, she left the village. Still she felt empty, although she reveled for a moment that she'd wish to find again.

Equipment:

A jagged, ritual dagger, normally used for sacrificing animals, made to specifically make bleed.

Clay Jars, one on each side of her body to carry around blood.

Rucksack.

Basic Supplies.

A pendent to the Mapdrawer.

Magical affinity(if any): Wild-magic: Haemomancy (Blood magic)

<Basic>

	Blood Blade: A blade made from blood, either in the form of a slicing curved wave, or as daggers to piecing, cut and be thrown.

	Blood Shield: A shield made from blood, infused with magic to act as a defense. As the damage is absorbed, the blood itself decays as it absorbs the force.

	Transfusion: Drawing energy from fresh blood, Surren can derive mana from it at the cost of the blood itself.

	Blood Vein: Controlling the blood in herself, she can stop her own bleeding, and pump the blood in her body more quickly, to give herself more energy as she controls her very body with her magic. Or she can harden the blood, and slow it's flow, to aid in defense and block an attack with her very own body and blood as a last resort.

<Advanced>

	Haemostasis: By closing at and drawing in the blood inside of someone, she slows it's flow and moves it against them. They're body grows weak, as they're effectively suffocated, and they're joints and muscles stiffened as they are forced still with her magic.
