Scarlet

Do you fear what lurks in the darkness?

0 · 436 views · located in Zorgoth

a character in “The Guilds of Zorgoth”, as played by ajemokid

Description

Scarlet
Age: 20

Gender: Female

Class: Hex

Class: Ability: The power to use powerful magics but every use puts strain on her soul, the amount of strain varies from the spell.

Class Description: A hex is a person who has had a special curse placed upon their soul from a young age. The curse strengthens the users amount of magic, binding their magical abilities to the persons soul itself. The magic for the curse itself comes from a Torin mage who saute to make the ultimate warrior some one hundred years ago. By tying a special curse to ones soul he discovered that the users magical power would be amplified and manifest like never seen before. The form which the magic took was based on the users soul, Light if the person was pure and lived a happy life, fire if the person was passionate about everything and anything they did, water if the person lived a sad and depressing life, and a shadow like form if the person has a soul full of hate, darkness, and is no stranger to insanity. (Scarlets magic manifests in a shadow form.) Shorty after the curses discovery it became an issue and a risk to countries safety, the counsel in Torin banned the magic shortly after its discovery. In this day and age it is a rarity to see a Hex, even the mention of it is a Taboo subject in the magic community.

Weapon: Powerful soul magics, other than that she carries around a small dagger on her person.

Size and Structure: (5"9, around 115 pounds, thin with little to no muscle mass.)

Appearance: Scarlet has blond hair down to her waist which is often has two long strands tied and hanging in the front. "The eyes are the window to ones soul" This old saying is true to Scarlet, her eyes being a dark purple shade reflecting her souls magic.

Personality: Scarlets past and the people she has cared most about deaths have left her cold, decisive, and in a broken mental state. Watching your loved ones doesn't exactly leave you mentally un-scared after all. She does have feeling for her other guild mates, though she doesn't show them often. Outside of battle Scarlet is much like a mother that constantly pushes her children to excel. In battle her persona drastically changes. She throws away on concern for her own well being and sometimes the well being of others. "Whatever it takes to kill the enemies." No one knows why not even Scarlet herself but for some reason she enjoys killing. It may be the blood, the rush, or just inflicting a fraction of the pain she as suffered on another.

Home: She grew up in Nosit, spending her younger years in a wealthy, loving family.

Back-story: Scarlet spent the first six years of her life with her loving family in their home in Nosit. They where wealthy, powerful, and kind. Life was good for Scarlet until her sixth birthday. She came home to find her parents slaughtered on the floor, when she went to go to them a man grabbed her and carried her off to a shrine on the outskirts of the city. The man told her they planed to make her and another into their own personal weapons before he threw her into a cage with a young boy around the same age as her. This cage would be her home for the next year.

As the months went by Scarlet began to grow feelings for the young boy, slowly becoming happy once again. One day they dragged her new friend away, his screams could be heard all the way back to her cell. Once he was returned to the cell she asked him over and over what had happened but he wouldn't tell her, all he would say was "Why?". The next day the same man came and took Scarlet away, her friend pleading with him for her to be spared until she could no longer hear her friend's voice.

Scarlet's eyes widened in fear as she entered a room with a table covered in blood stains. The table was made of stone with leather restraints nailed into it. The whole room had an eery smell to it, smelling of a mixture of blood, sadness, pain, and magic. Before she could put up any sort of struggle she was strapped face down onto the stone table. Her captors cut away the back of her shirt, a cold feeling spreading across the exposed skin then being replaced pain. It was no ordinary pain however, it felt as if her soul itself was being stabbed over and over again. It was her screams that filled the hallway that day.

When it was all over she was thrown back into the cell into a hug from her now crying friend. Neither of them slept that night, instead they cried and remembered better times before they were kidnapped and thrown into a cage like animals. just an hour before daybreak there was fighting at the entrance into the shrine. A few moments later the smell of blood pooled into the main hall where their cage was, followed by a group of guild members who were covered in blood. A bloody battle broke out around the two children, ending in the death of their captors. "We're saved." Scarlet thought as a smile came onto her face. The smile turned to horror though as one of the people said the words "Time for some target practice." All she could do was watch as an arrow flew into the chest of her friend. She closed her eyes making the people laugh at her "Is she gonna cry now?" One asked as the shadows around their feet sprang to life. "Swallow them in eternal darkness" She mumbled as she opened her eyes revealing them to have changed to a dark purple. "Tare them to shreds!" She yelled with a huge smile across her face as the shadows ripped the people apart. She let out a laugh before collapsing onto the floor.

Scarlet was found by the leader of Dark Cross two days latter who had stumbled by the shrine on the way back from a job. He carried her back to their guild house and nursed her back to health. As time went by this broken little girl became like a daughter to him, he tried as hard as he could to fix her. Just as Scarlet was starting to become happy again a hit was put out on her guild master. Once again she was forced to watched as someone close to her was killed by a dark guild assassin. Scarlet lost all control of herself at the sight of her new father figure being killed in front of her. A dark swirling substance manifested in her outstretched hand. The smile she wore so many years ago came back across her face as the spell shot out from her hand and cut the man in half. She didn't stop there however, she instead broke out into a violent half crazed laughter cutting the man into smaller and smaller pieces. She was stopped by Ravyn grabbing her now blood covered body and pulling her away. A few days later they found the leaders will and it stated that Scarlet be made guild master, honoring their masters last wishes Scarlet was put in charge of the guild.

Guild: Leader of Dark Cross

Extra: Scarlet has a symbol on her back "The mark of the cursed and damned" some call it. It is a manifestation of the curse put on a Hex.

Scarelt watched as Ravyn practicly jumped out of her skin, landing on the floor. It was a slightly amusing cycle of events to watch. “Morning to you Scarlet, thanks for the terrific wake up call.” she said as she walked away putting her arrows and bow by the door before making her way to the counter. Scarlet saw as Ravyn glanced towards her wound before sitting down and turning to her with a smile. The smile was a tad bit unnerving though she didn't understand why she felt that way about it.

“So last night I got some information on the other regions, and the other guilds.” Ravyn said taking a rather relaxed position in her seat. “The Duke of Torin has some sort of Demon in his dungeon, but I doubt it will stay there for long. As for the guilds, nothing new, besides some of them starting to expand, maybe we should “hire” one just to see what they can do? And I don’t know if you know about White Cross, since well that priest left here to make that guild, but they have some sort of blood lust member.” Scarlet watched as she took out a bottle and downed some of the ale strait from the bottle. A horrible habit. Scarlet merely sighed and shook her head. "A Demon huh? Now that is a rarity in these days. Even more so then you or I." Her thoughts shifted to that deserting priest bastard.

"White Cross." Scarlet mumbled to herself, clinching her fists in anger and bringing on a new wave of annoyance from her cut up hand. "A blood lust member you say? Do think this person is a..." She paused before continuing as the topic could be a rather bad one. "You two may get alone huh?" Scarlet said in a taunting and annoying voice. She lent back against the counter putting her hands together and against her face, which was an often unknown impulse she had while thinking. "Tell your contacts to keep there ears open information on White Cross." Scarlet cringed as she said that name as if it were a sour fruit or rotten milk. "Also keep an ear to the ground for information on the demon. It has...peaked my interests." She said getting that look she commonly got. a look that screamed I want to kill it.

Scarlet walked over to the table, taking a seat and started to eat. "A good meal keeps the body strong and the mind sharp." She said while staring up at Ravyn, obviously hinting at something. "As entertaining as it would be I wouldn't want you going Feral on me on a job." She said as a crooked smile came across her face and she stood up from the table. As she went to walk out of the room she looked back a Ravyn again and said "Then I may have to kill you and that wouldn't be good for anyone now would it?"

#, as written by 360Tan
The sun rose brightly upon the shingles of the medium sized town that the guild Black Cross resided in. The sun was still young in the sky but life in the town was already filling with the cries of life as shop owners prepared their stores for the coming day and tradesmen leaving their homes to begin a new day's hard work. Cries such as "Fresh fish, Caught just this morning, Fresh fish here." or "Breakfast pies, hot and steamy, perfect way to start the day." filled the market place as Chris walked through the quickly filling courtyard to collect the food for the day with Lilly walking close at his heels breathing in the heavy aroma of baking bread and sweets. Her eyes were sparkling with a kind of childlike curiosity that Chris smiled at as he moved from stall to stall buying what the guild would need for the day. Grocery shopping was not the kind job you'd expect a paladin and his charge to be doing but Chris did always enjoy the simple things in life, plus it gave him and Lilly the early morning exorcise that was hard to get when one lived inside a city or town.

Lilly's stomach growled and she quickly tugged on Chris's shirt to get his attention, We almost done? she quickly flashed in the secret little hand language the two had made up years ago t ocommunicate, The smell of the bread is making me very hungry. Chris laughed as he sent back his answer, Yes were done now. You can go back and enjoy these nice breakfast pies I purchased for everyone. Chris smiled and held up the small bag of little tiny pies in front of Lilly and watched as her eyes stared at it before she too started laughing. No voice escaped the young girl's lips but her face was bright and cheery.

The pair made their way back slowly, enjoying the warm rising sun on their backs as they took the road to the edge of time and turned towards a rundown abandoned looking building just on the edge of town. Chris wished that Scarlet would take out the funds necessary to fix the exterior of the place up but she never did. Chris didn't ask why though, he guessed that it had something to do with her still living in the past. Though the women was the same age as Chris, she did manage to scare him a little. She had a good soul, it was just the circumstances of her life that had turned her dark. Truthfully Chris felt sorry for Scarlet. He knew from his studies that becoming a Hex was not something done with a person's will, and though he knew very little about her past. The death of the Black Cross leader before her had hurt her. That much was evident. Who was he to question what she did with her house though.

Chris knocked on the door twice to announce that he was back before swinging the front door open to walk in. The interior of the building really was well kept and Chris was happy to notice that both of the women in the guild were up, though it was recent as Ravyn had yet to move far from where she had fallen asleep on the couch the night before. Chris gave them a warm smile as he shut the door and placed the baskets Lilly and him were carrying onto the counter. "Good Morning Ladies." he greeted as unpacked the few groceries they needed and started putting stuff away. "Breakfast is hot and ready when you want it." Chris explained as he placed the breakfast pies on the counter for all four of them to grab.

As Chris was putting away the rest of the food though, Lilly had glanced around and while her mind was on the meat pies, she noticed Scarlet's bandaged and bleeding hand. The women scared Lilly but Chris was hear and it was her duty to at least ask if Scarlet would like the wound healed. Slipping out a pen and slip of paper from her pocket, Lilly quickly jotted down Would you like for me to heal your hand? and approached the older women before handing her the small slip of paper.

Ravyn popped her neck and took another drink, knowing Scarlet didn't like her drinking, but it did calm her down and with it took her longer to become insane with she didn't get any blood. "A Demon huh? Now that is a rarity in these days. Even more so then you or I." She listened to Scarlet, what she said was true. Yeah, maybe take some heat off of me. She thought, but being called back to reality hearing Scarlet mumble White Cross, Ravyn rarely brought them up, but she wasn’t sure if Scarlet knew about the blood lust member, though now knowing she had no idea about it. She was still confused on why exactly the priest left, but Ravyn wasn’t complaining, it was one less person that could kill her in a second, and she didn't like living with someone who could do that, to Ravyn he was almost more dangerous than Scarlet.

"A blood lust member you say? Do think this person is a..." Ravyn shot a look over at Scarlet, both knowing the following words could start something bad between them, and more than just a verbal fight. "You two may get alone huh?" Scarlet continued, just making Ravyn laugh. “Yeah, I bet, we could ever go blood drinking together!” She said sarcastically, watching Scarlet begin to think, "Tell your contacts to keep there ears open information on White Cross. Also keep an ear to the ground for information on the demon. It has...peaked my interests." “Yes ma’am” Ravyn said with a smile like smirk before drinking what was left in the bottle and tossing it across the room and into a basket which held other drunken bottle of ale and wine.

Ravyn watched at Scarlet got some food and begin to eat, thus reminding herself that she will need to feed soon. She listened as Scarlet teased her about eating, other people would be confused about what she said, but Scarlet was the only person that Ravyn knew that knew about her being part vampire. “Yeah, as if. I haven’t even seen myself that way, you don’t know how deadly I would be. So if you want to test…” Ravyn trailed off with a smirk before getting up and letting her hair out of a pony tail and had it cover up some of her eyes, guessing they might be a little blood shot. And hearing a knock on the door, ad reaching her side for her knife but then seeing it was just Chris and Lilly. “Morning to you too.” She said before getting out of their way so they could put whatever they bought away.

“No thanks, I’m not in the mood for breakfast.” Ravyn said, trying to pick the correct words so it wouldn’t exactly be a lie while not leading on about her being a Dhampir, since it had scared a couple other members away, and killed others since Scarlet didn't think could keep their mouth quite from their reaction. She walked back over towards the couch and sat down, putting her feet on the table. “So what are we going to do today. I don’t want to sit here all day doing nothing, I might go insane.” She said, chuckling but keeping her teeth out of sight, since like other vampires she did have fangs that were noticeable by a smile or a laugh. “Hey Lilly, Scarlet doesn't need any healing. A bandaged hand wont slow her down. Now I think Chris needs some help.” Ravyn not letting Lilly heal Scarlet’s hand, mainlyfor slight payback for scaring her.

Scarlet glanced over to see Chris and Lilly had finally returned which brought her mood up a bit. Not because of her missing them but because now they could do more difficult missions, after all killing bandits does get old very very quickly. "Good to see you two are back. I take it the job went well." She said watching Chris put the basket down on the counter. "Good Morning Ladies." he greeted them both in his usual cheerful tone. Scarlet didnt know how he was always so happy but he tended to keep the others in high spirits so she never bothered to question it. "Breakfast is hot and ready when you want it." She remained silent as Ravyn declined the food for reasons obvious to her. "What the hell, a little more to eat want kill me." Scarlet said as she grabbed out one of the meat pie, proceeding to bite down on it.

“So what are we going to do today. I don’t want to sit here all day doing nothing, I might go insane.” Ravyn asked making Scarlet turn toward her and see her feet where prompted up on the table, a horrible habit. She just shook her head for a moment before Lilly handed her a piece of paper that read. Would you like for me to heal your hand? Before she could say anything Ravyn spoke up “Hey Lilly, Scarlet doesn't need any healing. A bandaged hand wont slow her down. Now I think Chris needs some help.” A small smirk came across Scarlet's face, she knew this was Ravyn's "revenge" for her nice awakening earlier. "Im ok Lilly its just a few small cuts." She said before patting the girl on the head. "Besides." Her voice had now turned somewhat darker. "Sometimes it is good to be hurt. It reminds you...that you are still human." She said staring down at her hand. She stood there for a moment lost in the painful memories of the past, before shaking her head to snap herself out of it. "Im fine, this little cut want slow me down." she said bluntly before walking back towards her quarters.

"Oh and we have job request that came in. There is a caravan that needs protection. There are whispers that a rival company has been less than pleased at all their business as of late and have sent out a request to stop and or kill their caravans. We will be protecting one of their main caravans, our job is to make sure it reaches its destination in one piece. "Don't worry, my sources have reviled that the other company spread the rumors them selves, so odds are it is just a scare tactic." She stopped walking for a moment, turning around with a serious look about her face. "If indeed they have been targeted though it will no doubt be a dark guild doing the attacking. The Guild relations have been strained as of late and this could be the skirmish that causes an all out war." A small sadistic smile came across her face. "If the caravan does get attacked the story we spread to the other guilds, it could start the war everyone has been fearing. If this mission turns ugly we aim to kill, no survivors." Scarlet couldn't hide the excitement in her voice as she said the last sentence.

"I will be in my quarters getting ready to head out and thinking on some things. If you have any questions knock first for the sake of your health." With that Scarlet walked back down the hall and into the dark abyss that was her room. Her body almost shook with excitement and the shadows around her seemed to dance as she prayed that the rumors where true, that she would get to kill today.
