Name: Seraphina Pisslicker Ancestry: Cambion Gender: Female Age: 25 Level: 9 Lifestyle: Comfortable Appearance: Lean, diminutive build in her natural form, where she also has red skin, white, pupil-less eyes, small horns and short dark hair. As a human, she is attractive in an unassuming way, deceptively curvaceous. In that form her eyes are gray and her dark hair is usually shoulder-length.
Riches: ?
Upbringing: Born in Azūl some twenty summers past, Seraphina is the product of an incubus or devil and a human woman who told no one of her infidelity to her largely absent husband; indeed, Sera's mother did not know of the infernal nature of her lover. It was a difficult birth, but both mother and child lived. When Sera's father saw the babe, though, with it's red skin and white eyes, with its tiny horns and tail, he bellowed about blasphemy and threw the thing into the sewer. Sera's mother protested -- so much that her furious husband struck her, and kept striking her until she moved no more. Sera was found, saved, and raised by a clan of sewer-dwelling goblins, the Pisslickers. (To this day she has many goblin allies.) She didn't yet understand the true nature of her heritage, but as she grew she learned to hide those features that most frightened the city's populace.
Physically skilled, light of foot and strong-willed, the girl eventually fell in with the Black Hand, a guild of assassins who the Pisslickers worked with, often disposing of bodies and such. It was worked as a Black Hand assassin that Sera learned the story of her birth, and who her father was. One night, on her 16th birthday, she visited his home, daggers in hands.
But she found not an unthinking brute, a man who had struck her mother down on her birthing bed, but a wretch who's life had been ruined when he killed his wife, the love of his life. Repentant and pathetic, her father was a shell of a man, a broken soul who had since devoted his life to helping others, and to atoning for his sins. When she stayed her knives, though, hell yawned for its soul -- the man's time had come. Barghests raced out of the night, belching fire as they came to drag the man to his reward. Sera defended him, and for her trouble was also brought to hell, where she came to understand just who she was, and her true purpose.
Now, Seraphina is about to be loosed on Urth, to corrupt, to slay, to drag souls to their heinous fate... and though she's not told her infernal masters, the half-breed is going to have none of it.
Personality: Sera was raised by goblins, trained by assassins, and finally 'put on the right path' by devils. So... yeah.
