Name
Ceana [KEH-na] (her last name is known to no one but herself... and some estranged family she hasn't seen in forever.)
Nickname
The Echo - A name she was given as a mercenary, because once she finished a job, an echo was all she left.
Age
21-23 (3 millenniums and a couple of centuries)
Gender
Female
Appearance
Ceana's medium brown, flowing locks fall to her hips, (so yes, it's much longer than what is shown in the gifs), framing most of her slim body. But while the captain's build is outwardly frail, every smooth bit of caramel skin covers lean muscle. Her legs are long and strong, her chest lacking in volume, but shapely nonetheless. She stands at 5 foot 9 inches, tall by human standards but rather average by demonic ones. She has dark brown eyes framed by thick, black lashes which are usually made heavier by a stroke of kohl both above and beneath them, and her long hair is usually in a long, thick braid.
She has both of her ears pierced in the lobes and the cartilages. Both are usually filled by small silver hoops. On her right jaw is a shallow scar stretching a little over an inch, and on her lower lip is another, although much smaller. The captain's usually spotted with a sarcastic smirk adorning her features, which has a tendency to contrast sharply with the coldly analyzing look in her eyes.
Occupation
Ceana's technically a mercenary/assassin, but she's been working as the demon king's captain of the guard for quite a while by now, so people seem to have forgotten her actual occupation.
Skills/Equipment
The captain's talents when it comes to combat, are unmatched. She has spent most of her life training, and so both with and without weapons, Ceana is more than just moderately capable. She considers herself the best and has yet to be proven wrong. She's also a very capable leader, and she's amazing when it comes to looking at the big picture, which makes war strategy a piece of cake to her.
In Dothri Regum, Ceana always carries twin-swords on her back, which are forged with magic and can cut through anything - even diamond. They're her most priced possession. She also always has a minimum of five throwing knives hidden around her body - this is something she maintains while on earth as well. It is also not rare to witness her carrying a crossbow, although she realizes that, along with her swords, it is a bit too conspicuous on earth.
Personality
Ceana is a demon in every way: she's cold and ruthless to the core, and following the stereotype, she has quite the temper. The thing with her temper, however, is that she's very much learned to control it, but she only does so when she sees fit and considers an outbreak of temper to be outright disadvantageous. For instance, she never fully looses her cool while in a war meeting, or on the battle field.
while Ceana is indeed a very cold woman, she is not formal in any way. She was born a farmer's daughter, followed by her associating with thieves and thugs, and her behavior and attitude are clearly affected by this past. Her manners, according to most nobles at court, could use some work, but Ceana sees no reason to please them. She carries sarcasm with her everywhere she goes, and she's not afraid to sass even the king. However, she's also a smart girl and she knows exactly which line not to cross. After all... she's very aware of who pays the gold, and she knows her worth.
That's the thing about this woman; she follows the gold. At all times. Whoever pays the most, has her loyalty... until someone else comes around and pays more for it, but then, who can pay her more than the king? She never does anything that doesn't benefit her in some way and she doesn't come cheap. When it comes to her men, she doesn't care whether they respect or fear her, as long as they do one one or both of them. She has no preferences, because both options instill obedience, and if they're not smart enough to do either, she'll be sure to teach them exactly why they should.
She doesn't hold any loyalties towards a specific race; not even her own. She has worked for Vampire nobles, Lykae lords, and everything in between and beyond. She's killed demons for vampires and lykae, but likewise she's also killed vampires for demons and lykae, and lykae for vampires and demons. Honestly she doesn't care who she kills for whom; it's all about the gold, and even vamps and lykae have long ago realized that the best assassins... are demons, because they're cold and unfeeling by nature. However, now that she works for Sabine, her loyalties of course sit with him (or his gold).
Ceana, in spite of what some may think, is not a stubborn being. She has no problem giving in if that's what she considers beneficial and she's usually very patient; you have to be to be an assassin. If you cross her, she can easily wait years, just pending the moment you relax... and then she exacts her revenge. She doesn't take kindly to betrayal. Last time one of her men betrayed her, she skinned him alive... literally. Then she left him to dry for a day before finally chopping off his head. Hence the ruthless cruelty. She's not a forgiving soul.
History
Ceana was born to a poor farmer and his wife, thrust straight into a big family of now 18 children, some of course older than others. At the time, her oldest sibling was almost two hundred years old, but her parents kept having children because they simply needed the extra hands around the farm and once a son or daughter turned 120 they'd be sent away... sold, to the highest bidder. Of course things were different for Ceana. When she was 13 years old, a band of thugs and murderers opted to buy her. Of course her parents offered them older daughters, but apparently the leader had a thing for young girls. So she was sold to them, used for "amusement" to all the men. They are the reason she has two scars - wounds inflicted on her before she came into her immortality. When she was 19, she finally got the chance to escape, and she did. But she didn't return home; she had nothing to do back to, so instead she took to wandering alone...
As Ceana traveled, she met many men and women, but no favors, and of course, it being Dothri Regum, no kindness either. So for food and shelter, Ceana took to stealing, but also to selling her own body. After a while she realized she needed to move up in the word, to gain some skills and earn her place, so she did. Whenever she encountered a man skilled in some form of combat, she would offer him a deal; she would allow him to use her body in whichever way he wished, if only he would teach her. In time she found teachers in every little thing, from how to use a whip, to how to throw a knife. Of course, once her training was complete to her own satisfaction, she would challenge them to duels... and kill them. None of her teachers are still alive due to this; it was the only way to properly check that she was better. Besides, she needed the revenge. At the time, Ceana's attitude towards men was simple, really; they were all dogs who needed to be put down. A lot of hate and resentment took up home in the young demon's body.
As time went by, Ceana learned to channel her anger and hatred through her swords and she became even better. With time and many kills, she also got past her need for revenge, which enabled her to move on from her resentment towards men. It also made her all the colder, but it became possible for her to establish a name for herself, first as an assassin, and since, as she gathered herself a well-trained, professional group of men and women, a mercenary. At the age of two thousand, Ceana and her crew were widely known, rumours of their efficient ruthlessness fluttering about like a plague. Of course the leader herself was known solely by "The Echo" and most rumours described her to be a rather muscular man. Not that she particularly minded; all publicity is good publicity.
Around six hundred years ago, Balthazar Cross, having been ordered to find the demon king the best captain possible for his guard, encountered Ceana and her mercenaries. Of course he and his entourage were surrounded before they even had a chance to look around, but once Ceana learned of his offer to become the captain of the king's guard in return for a quite substantial fee, weapons were retracted. She and her group have been in the king's services pretty much ever since.
Other
The captain doesn't wear dresses. Never. Not since she escaped her "owners". And her history is not one she shares unless asked to, it is no secret, but she doesn't feel a need to speak of it either. Ceana's also got a slight addiction to motorcycles, she considers them the biggest benefit to spending time on earth.

I'm just going to assume by now that you all know how I write, so I'll leave this one blank, if you don't mind. =P[/font]
