Nickname: "I don't mind really, as long as it's not something silly or meaningless. If you're going to give me a nickname, it must have meaning. Baby wont cut it." Lucretia doesn't mind nicknames. When shortening her name, some call her Lou and others say Lulu. If you'd like to give her something more original, she'll accept it happily, but, if you're one for pet names such as babe or baby, you should know there's no better way to piss her off than to give her a generic name used by everyone. The more a word is used, the more it loses it's meaning.
Age: "Close your eyes. Now, imagine being forced to watch everyone you've ever gotten close to die while you stay exactly the same. Not a pretty thought, is it?" Appears to be eighteen, but is really 399. She will be 400 in two days. She is supernatural, meaning she's immortal, but to her, it's a curse rather than a gift.
Gender: "Ouch, that one hurt." Female
Appearance: Being supernatural, Lou is very beautiful. What better to draw her food in than with immense beauty? She has luminescent white skin, extremely pale, but not washed-out or ill looking. More like smooth, icy, white, perfection. Her hair is deep black, that lays in glossy, soft ringlets, swishing down to her hips. Typically, she tosses her bangs up and to the side, creating a wind swept curls look, but sometimes she just lets them lay, sweeping gently across her forehead to the right. In some lights, one can almost see an iridescent shimmer to her hair, a play of lustrous, changing colors. Framed by this strange set of locks, Lucretia has a very delicate looking face, with a dainty chin, small, nose, defined jaw, thin, perfectly shaped black eyebrows, and bright lips, often painted in blood red or rose pink lipstick. Under thick black eyelashes, she has a pair of captivating velvety black eyes. When hungry, these eyes glitter with the same iridescent sheen as her hair often does, though much more noticeably. For body type, Lou is a lithe little thing, with a small frame and delicate structure. Her clothes are often tailored to fit her perfectly and reveal as much as possible without seeming desperate for attention. She likes to wear anything that draws the eye to her best features. All of how she looks goes into the way she feeds. Down to her make up, Lucretia prides herself on perfection, drawing the prey in. As for body art, Lucretia has four cartilage piercings in her right ear, as well as
three piercing in both ears. For tattoos, she has a flower design on her left shoulder, and two bird shaped ones on her hips. Typically, she hides her tattoos, slightly embarrassed of them, but sometimes she'll let them show.

"What can I say? I get what I want." Lucretia is extremely self-preservant. She puts her own self preservation before everything and everyone, not caring who she has to knock down in her way, the lies she has to come up with, or the hearts she has to break to get what she wants, or to keep herself safe. Some would say she's ruthless, or emotionless, but this is far from the truth. She is actually very troubled. Her power makes life hard for her, and keeps her from growing close to anyone. She cannot share it with anyone, otherwise, they would use her as a weapon, or she'd have to kill them. She's extremely strong, forcing herself to do what she does even though she hates it. She tries her best to do right by people, but she has a hard time trusting.
Years ago, Lulu swore off all emotion, promising herself she'd be a ruthless bitch for the rest of her eternity on earth, looking out solely for number one. She's locked up tighter than a vault, and, though it is possible to crack her code, most people don't even attempt it. Somehow, she's been cursed with both a power of touch that she hates, and a need for physical contact in order to live. It's a cruel mix, and she doesn't know what she's done to deserve it, but she makes the most of it. That's what she does. Makes the most out of terrible situations. Her solutions may not be the best in the long run, leading to more suppressed feelings than anything else, but she'll do anything for a quick fix.
Lucretia is incredibly persuasive and deceptive. She's cruel, wicked, smart, and elusive. She spins words with ease, and loves the thrill of seduction. She may not be open with her emotions in any way, or willing to let people in, but she is willing to play games with them. Though it forces her to kill as well as use her power, Lou loves feeding, for it satisfies her need to feel loved and important, tempering her loneliness for a short time.
Though she swears off all emotion, Lou is a wild mix of confused feelings all wrapped up in a pretty package, in desperate need of help and guidance, but too prideful to accept it if offered. She does what she wants, when she wants to. No questions asked. The way she has the world figured, she has eternity to live, and has been given a shitty mix of power, so she might as well try to make the best of it and move on. So far, her power hasn't killed her, merely made her stronger.
Species: "Come on... Just a little kiss. It wont kill you. I promise." Lucretia is a psychic vampire, meaning she gets her nourishment through a humans energy. She must make physical contact in order to feed, which is why she is the way she is, personality wise anyway. She is not a leader of anything other than herself, so she has two powers. One is the ability to teleport with a thought. She merely needs a slight visual, name of the place, a person she's teleporting to, memory, or slight description, and she's able to transport herself there in a blink. Her second power makes her need for physical contact extremely hard. When she touches another person, skin to skin, she instantaneously knows everything about them. Their history, moods, memories, friends, family, plans, thoughts, everything. She can even do this with items if she concentrates, seeing everywhere it's been, everyone that's touched it. The problem is, her victim can feel it. There is no possible way for her to use it secretively, and when she does, since people generally don't like strangers in their heads, she can often get into a lot of trouble. Since it sometimes seems too invasive, even for her, Lucretia typically wears a pair of gloves everywhere she goes to keep from using it. This power she keeps a secret, for, should anyone know about it, they would try to use her as a weapon, for she'd practically be the perfect spy, and being used is not something she allows. This power also sets her apart from other psychic vampires because she typically has to kill her victim after she feeds off them to keep her power a secret. She wishes she didn't have to sometimes, but she's traveled far and wide, and, after three hundred years of searching, finally gave up on trying to find a way to control it.

Weaknesses:
Though she acts it, Lucretia is far from perfect. She has several power weaknesses as well as personality weaknesses, making her just as defeatable as anyone. For one thing, her seclusion, and refusal to feel emotion can be a strength, but also a weakness. It makes her lonely, and causes a lot of her sadness, often making her depressed no matter how hard she tries to force back the emotion. Her stubborn mind can also be a vice of hers, for it makes her too focused on one thing, unable to see the bigger picture. Her need to win, makes her try and try again until she beats you. This could easily lead to her downfall. Her fear of fire, as well as thunderstorms could easily be used against her. Her desperate need to be cared about, or feel important could lead to more than one problem for her. When it comes to power weaknesses, Lucretia has a few. Her ability to teleport is completely useless when around iron, meaning that, if someone knew this, they could easily imprison her, something she absolutely cannot stand, being caged or held down. The strength of Lucretia's power makes her life lonely, rough, and dangerous, for, should anyone know about it, they could easily use her as a weapon for their own game. This makes it almost impossible for her to trust. It also takes a great toll on her to use this power, for she is forced to live through a persons every emotional memory in a manor of seconds, bathing her in a hundred feelings at once. As far as she knows, Lucretia's power of knowledge-by-touch has no weakness, but, as she hates it and doesn't use it often, she would give absolutely everything to find one for it. Should someone know how to control her power, she would give them her very soul.
Other: I think I covered it all
I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like.
Is it over yet, in my head?
I know nothing of your kind, and I won't reveal your evil mind.
Is it over yet? I can't win.
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.
[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.
Is it over yet? Let me in.
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.
[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
[Bridge]
I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating.
[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
She's into superstitions black cats and voodoo dolls.
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall.
She's into new sensations new kicks in the candle light.
She's got a new addiction for every day and night.
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life but she'll take away your pain
like a bullet to your brain. Come On!
[CHORUS:]
Upside, inside out she's livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down, livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red and her skin's the color blanca
She will wear you out livin la vida loca Come On!
Livin la vida loca, Come on!
She's livin la vida loca.
Woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
she must've slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order French Champagne
Once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same
Yeah, she'll make you go insane.
[CHORUS]
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain.
She'll make you live her crazy life
but she'll take away your pain like a bullet to your brain. Come On!
[CHORUS]
