⊹ 𝐯a͟m͟p͟yr - 𝘀elina's 𝗽𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 ݁ ۪ ৎ୭
witch, bloodsucker, parasite. when she was selected for the power development process, selina was designed to exhibit traits shown in desmodus rotundus, more commonly known as the vampire bat. inspiration for her abilities also stems from predatory animals that utilize aggressive mimicry and appear beautiful to attract victims. every aspect of her being is meant to draw in prey. to make them lower their guard just enough for her to slip through and attack.
selina is a very emotional person who often suppresses said emotions. that paired with her complicated relationship with her lack of humanity leads to a sort of mental block that “locks” many of her abilities. only a few of them are frequently used at the time of my first shift. now unfortunately, the researchers who collaborated on her creation were a bunch of comic book nerds, and now she’s essentially someone’s irl oc. luckily, she’s cool enough to make it work. meet the unnaturals' very own vampire.
future mutations/powers are marked with this symbol : ⏾
𝓒OMPLETE VAMPIRE PHYSIOLOGY .
ཐི⋆ཋྀ the user possesses the traits, attributes, characteristics and/or abilities of a vampire, a being who subsists by feeding on the life essence of living creatures (often in the form of blood), regardless of whether the vampire is undead or a living person/being. this user in particular gained these traits through genetic experimentation. this physiology allows the user to enjoy a number of interesting abilities including :
- enhanced strength, speed, flexibility, agility,
durability, reflexes, and senses
- slower aging
- mist and vampire bat forms ⏾
- blood consumption
- immortality ⏾
- night vision
- predator instinct
- night empowerment
- contaminant immunity
- nocturnal physiology
DRAWBACKS? her vampiric nature can cause her to lose control of her humanity and develop a harmful bloodlust. strangely, this limitation only applies to human blood. genetically enhanced and animal blood seem to be "neutral" to her. the user has a slight vulnerability to sunlight. it's not lethal but does cause some discomfort to her eyes, so she wears sunglasses frequently and is often seen with her eyes closed. sensory overload can occur in environments with overwhelming stimuli due to her enhanced senses.
ℋEMOKINESIS \ BLOOD MANIPULATION .
ཐི⋆ཋྀ the user can freely create, shape, control, and manipulate blood, and they possess complete control over blood, an essential body fluid in humans and other animals. the user possesses complete control over blood and all its components, and is able to freely control it. in the future, she will be able to use her blood as a healing agent for herself and others through contact or transfusion. to see more of what this user can do, view the application and technique sections of this page!
𝓢UPERNATURAL BEAUTY .
ཐི⋆ཋྀ the user is beautiful to the point of being able to almost mystically influence the mind of an individual, causing a form of forced subservience within the minds of the user's thralls. at this level, the user’s beauty can even bypass certain levels of mental resistance and even supersede certain personal biases, such as sexual orientation. this power allows the user to access other sub-categories of this ability, such as :
- supernatural charisma
- pheromone manipulation
- awe inducement
- aesthetic activity
- enchanted allure
- fully hypnotize others into doing her bidding ⏾
DRAWBACKS? supernatural beauty can be considered both a gift and a curse; the user tends to attract unwanted attention and obsessive behavior from others.
𝓔NHANCED COMBAT ABILITIES .
ཐི⋆ཋྀ the user possesses proficiency, capabilities and knowledge regarding general combat. essentially, they are extremely skilled in combat, capable of beating the toughest of opponents or dozens of aggressors at once. the user is also able to perform combat maneuvers and other stunts much more proficiently than the average person.
ℬLOOD BASED MAGIC .
ཐི⋆ཋྀ the user is able to use blood magic, an ancient and very powerful but still dangerous form of magic that relates to blood. this particular kind of magic predates the modern word-based magic via incantations and was considered by some to be more powerful than most due to the esoteric nature of blood, as the user has the inherent power in their blood, they can cast extremely powerful spells. it’s currently unknown if this ability came as a result of the experiments or if they manifested from her own will. main applications include :
- spell casting
- blood oaths
- symbol magic
- ritual magic
- link inducement via blood
- conjuration
𖤝 [ SPECIAL MOVES ]
her favorite move, affectionately trademarked as “bloody crucifix”, is characterized by a series of portals discreetly opening up underneath her opponents before they are impaled with multiple razor sharp spikes. usually non-lethally of course. at least one enemy will be hung up to resemble jesus on the cross.
another move selina uses is called “puppet master”. by swiping a small amount of blood on to her target, she’s able to manipulate their bodies as if they were her own. she can also use her target’s eyes to see the world from their point of view. however, it’s a highly difficult technique and requires large amounts of energy/concentration to pull off.
another move where her nerdy ass manipulates blood to form two guns like death the kid from soul eater. she even wields them like he does. the bullets are infinite as long as she has a steady supply of blood available.
𖤝 [ PHYSICAL CHANGES ]
the most obvious change to selina’s body as a result of her powers would be her blood red eyes. bodily mutations include enhanced night vision to see prey in the dark, razor sharp retractable fangs and claws, a hemokinetic blood composition with higher amounts of iron for easier manipulation, regenerative cells for faster healing and slower aging, enhanced olfactory senses to detect blood from far away, and perfect skin despite consistent scratching due to her regenerative abilities. her body is able to process and digest even contaminated blood, though it still tastes disgusting in comparison to "clean" blood. the infections or diseases will naturally separate and expel themselves from her body, usually through urination.
she doesn't technically need blood to survive, but she usually does feel a sort of boost in her energy levels and powers when she does drink it. selina mostly eats normal human food, but has noticed if she goes a few weeks without feeding, she tends to get a dull headache and feel a bit tired. the main hypothesis is that the foreign blood is stored in reserves in her body that she can utilize for her hemokinesis instead of her own. her powers are fairly taxing on her body and she's partially nocturnal, so she's often seen taking mini power naps during the day to regain strength. she also tends to sleep upside down like a bat 😭.
all of the unnaturals were taught hand-to-hand combat by aria, and her influence and basic techniques can easily be seen through their individual styles. for selina, she prioritizes speed and agility. she doesn’t particularly prefer to get up close and personal ( she greatly dislikes getting dirty or hurt ), but she will if the situation requires it. she often uses her legs which are the strongest part of her body to deliver blows. strong punches are usually aimed for the temples of the head and the gut.
most used styles : taekwondo + greco-roman wrestling
as for her usage of blood manipulation, she tries to be creative with her attacks to maintain unpredictability. weapons such as guns, knives, and blades are often utilized. she tends to use her hemokinesis rather aggressively as shown in her special moves section. her main objective is always to ensure that her opponent can't get back up and continue fighting.
