Duke of the Void
Name: Glumisun Palma Cristi

Meaning of Name:
Glumisun [pronounced as 'gloomy sun'] is a wordplay based from the song Gloomy Sunday. It is also known as the Hungarian Suicide Song. It is said that those who listen to the song would actually commit suicide.

Palma Christi, also known as Castor plant, is known to be the most poisonous plant according to Guinness World Records. This plant also has the ability to heal.

Age: 2669

Gender: Female

Race: Sirenical Demon

Clan: Serpent's Kiss

Rank: Leader

Weapon: Chaos' Song



To those who do not know of Glumisun's abilities, a musical instrument is not considered as a weapon. Chaos' Song, as she has affectionately named it, is a Tuvshuur with four spikes [all points of the triangular body and the head] and a sharpened blade on the lower side of its body.

Serpent's Kiss is a clan known for their alluring auras and water magic. Instead of chanting the spell out or creating the appropriate sigils/actions, Glumisun does the spell through music. Chaos' Song amplifies the sound and affects even those who could not hear within a certain area.

The down side of Chaos' Song is that it is a double-edged sword. It requires the blood of powerful beings to be effective against the opponents. Glumisun has to wipe the strings with her blood to awaken the weapon's potential.

The longer it is played, the bloodier and more numb the hands would be, the more magic drained, the more powerful the spells are released. That is why she uses the instrument sparsely for her fingers are important to her. When the battle is over, Glumisun has to be left in her devices to try and get her bearing again. Her sense of balance, as well as direction, is distorted by the loud sounds the instrument could get.

If an enemy closes in, Glumisun could use the spikes and the sharpened part of the instrument and turn it into a battle ax. This feature is only used as a means of self defense. Once the damage had been inflicted, she usually tried to get distance and finish them off with her spells or that she flee from the battle.

Passive Abilities:

  • Pheromone Secretion - all of the member born to the clan has this ability. How much they actually 'secrete' depends on how willing the demon is or how much they are affected by their emotions. Pheromones is like an invisible miasma where the demon creates a distinct smell that triggers a social response to those around them. The closer one is to the demon, the more interested one is to the demon. Glumisun uses this to her advantage by secretly secreting it inside the room in the middle of meetings.
  • Siren's Call - like the name suggests, Glumisun entices her targets by music. She would lure them with her songs before finishing them by drowning them.
  • Magic Haywire - Basing from her strong emotions, she would bring forth natural destruction from water. Examples would be rain, hail, fog, snow, freezing of an area.
  • Demonic Attributes - though she lacks strength and speed, she makes it up with her agility and fast reactions. She has sensitive hearing and a sharp sight. Her sight on land is the same as her sight under water.

Active Abilities:
Poison of the Sirens - Clan Ability
The ability brings forth a rain of poisoned ice needles. Upon hitting a target, it quickly turns to poisoned gas. Either injected, ingested, or inhaled, the poison would immediately take its effects. Disadvantage of the poison is that it does not damage any of the vital organs [that is, if the needle actually went through the body, that's a different story]. What it affects is the brain.
  • First minute - the sensation where the needles pierced the victim will feel as if the skin underneath was splashed with something cold.
  • First hour - the cold is then changed into heat. The skin starts to itch and prickling sensation occurs. Lungs starts to hurt.
  • Second hour - Chest convulses. The act of breathing is hard because the it feels like gulping in very hot air. Blood feels like it is boiling
  • Third hour - Hallucination occurs. Every touch or the kiss of the wind feels like the skin is being scalded. Movement feels as if every bone in the body is being snapped in half. Victims will beg for death at this point
  • Fourth hour - poison looses its effect. It shuts down the body.


Note: This is all in the mind. The only symptom when another examined the victim is the increase of heartbeat and the fast movement of the eye.

The ability will not stop until the caster, the leader, is unconscious or that their mana pool is empty.

As for Glumisun, she went and developed the technique into something more lethal. She could control the poisonous gas and transform it back to poisoned water and use it as a weapon.

Water manipulation - Glumisun, like the people born in the clan, are masters of the waters.

  • They need to do gestures, create sigils, or chant spells for them to bend water to their will. They cannot just manipulate water with the power of their mind
  • They do not create water. They need a source whether it be in any of the three states; solid, liquid, or vapor.
  • Could only manipulate water, not liquid. For example, they could play around with mud but could do nothing with magma and lava.
  • The most dangerous thing that they can control is blood. They will not control the body, however, they will force the red liquid out of the body.
Music Magic - Glumisun relies on her music to create spells. She is faster this way than chanting or creating the symbols on the air.
  • For her spells to work, the target must be within earshot
  • If she uses her magic to manipulate water, she does so by dancing and playing the instrument at the same time. This is why she needs a bodyguard when going into battle
  • Like said previously, if she does use her instrument to cause damage via sound, she, too, is affected. For example, if she so wish for the opponent to bleed through their ears, she creates a noise strong enough to rapture an eardrum. Being the source of the sound, her own eardrums will also burst.
Blood Rain - A killing ability if the timing is right. The user would drain the blood of someone through the victim's pores, bursting some of the skin and parts.
  • This ability is most powerful when the moon is at its fullest.
  • Could be performed only at night. During which, if not performed during the full moon, it only weakens the opponent but not enough to actually kill them.

Healing Pools - infuses the water with magic to help in healing her fellow demons. Since most of the more powerful demons could heal themselves quickly, this ability is somehow useless. What it does to them then is to remove the fatigue and helps the body rest. It eases the mind as well as replenishes the magic pool of the one taking a bath. The maximum Glumisun could infuse is an Olympic size swimming pool.

  • The person who infused the waters with their magic will not enjoy the replenishing ability of their creation
  • Samples taken from the source looses its healing abilities. This is why Serpent's Kiss is the only place where one can find them
  • When used on a human, it will corrupt the body. The experience of a human during this is like acid being poured on their skin.
Likes:
  • Music
  • Coffee
  • Research
  • Spell creation
  • Sweets [Though she dislikes anything coffee-flavored]
  • Red Mallows
  • The cold season

Dislikes:

  • Leaf Water [Tea]
  • Her own status in Haven
  • Her demon form
  • The corruption or tinting of the healing springs
  • Talking smack to her clan
  • Weapons that are long-handled i.e. spears, halberds, lochaber axes
Personality:

As a member of the sirenical demons, Glumisun's flirtatious nature had been embedded into her very core. Adopting to the person's nature and luring them to see her side has been second nature to her. The irony of this was that the current leader of Serpent's Kiss wears her heart on her sleeves. Her loyalty to her clan, as well as Haven, is well known. She will do anything in her power to make sure that the members are not just surviving. She wants them to live. The magic she does backs up this fact; healing pools, calming music, diagnostic spells, etc.

Though she is not a [melee] fighter class, she revels in the sight of blood of her enemies. This triggers the more violent side of hers where her words are unfiltered and her spells turn destructive.

Bio:
Growing up under one of the most powerful families in Haven, Glumisun was stripped off of her freedom to decide. Those taking care of her would just give her what they thought was best. This turned her to a living doll, a pretty thing to be shown to the public. Her father, the founder of Serpent’s Kiss, was shocked. He tried to correct what was already ingrained into her system.

“So, what do you want to do?” That question had shocked the female. Never in her life was she given this type of choice. Her father sighed and gently told her that she would start living in a temple not far from the family’s compound. Off course, Glumisun nodded.

She was welcomed by the monks and healers and treated her like their own; on equal grounds. Slowly, she learned how to feel. She was guided in learning the healing arts and how to play music.

During her rounds [she became a healer], she stumbled upon a stranger playing the peculiar instrument. She asked what it was and requested to be taught how to play. The stranger warned that his instrument was cursed. She did not care. He tried to persuade her to drop the idea. She persisted by visiting every day and mimicking his movements. Finally relenting, the stranger offered the instrument.

The first thing she did was to have her palm cut when she slid it across the strings. The stranger, her tutor now, tensed. When nothing happened, her tutor gave a smile of affection. For years, she was under this person’s care. She had learned from him how to create spells using any instruments. As her final ‘exam’, she was to create an original composition.

Like promised, she composed the song. “Would you let me hear what you have?” her father gently asked. Glumisun knew of that he was trying to get closer to her. She knew, even though very busy, he would come by the temple and watch her perform her everyday task from the shadows. He did care for her but was too afraid to openly show it. With a shy smile, she played the song. Her father was impressed until he identified the instrument. He ordered the execution of her tutor. She pleaded for him but was cut off when her father was being summoned into the heart of Haven. He patted her head and excused himself.

This was a problem for Glumisun. She could not overwrite her father’s command. What he ordered was absolute. She dashed to the temple only to enter a scene that would scar her for a lifetime. Her tutor was turned into a weapon’s rack; long-handled weapons were driven into his body. Her grief was short lived when one of the officers came into the room and dragged her away stating that Haven was being attacked. She was placed in a protection barrier with a few officers that would make sure she was safe. The day ended; the monster was sealed. Glumisun was too shocked to even react.

Devastated that both her father and her tutor died, she shut herself from everyone. Who came in and dragged her back to civilization was the same person who rescued her from being minced meat at the temple. She was forced into leadership and was taught to fight like her father. Her trauma with weapons was further stirred when her hands [most important part of her as a healer and musician] started having blisters and callouses. There was a time in her training where she finally snapped. She disregarded the spear and went to take her instrument. Without thinking, she unleashed a series of spells that had most of her fellow demons injured [nobody died]. This was when she discovered her sadistic side. She continued torturing her comrades until some of the officers pinned her down and grabbed the instrument from her.

After that incident, she apologized to her victims and announced that she was not her father. She never was. The officers and survivors then realized that their new leader was trying to carve her own path. Since she never dreamed of commanding a small unit [much less the entirety of her clan], her decision making for the betterment of her clan needs improvement. Thus, she started calling forth those with experience in every front of the political world to help her. Centuries of trial and error until the current system for the clan was established. She tried and failed to give the reigns to someone else.

"If you want me to be the leader, I ask of you to guide me then."


Extra:

  • The insignia of her clan is located at her nape.
  • If one is to look for her, she is usually found mingling with the scholars and 'commoners'
  • She wears a pair of thin gloves to hide the fact that her hands are covered with wounds.
  • Though she could not fight as good as the other warriors, Glumisun is a master in the art of running away.
  • Usually disappears three days per the turning of the moon. She disguises herself as a plain civilian and just visits other parts of Haven.
  • She has a crush on a cafe worker named Axel.
  • Rarely drinks but is a heavy weight.
  • She tends to mix up her native dialect and the common language used by Haven.
  • Every three months, her pheromone secretion would not be controlled. During this period, she locks herself inside a room and stays there until she can control her body again. The members of Serpent's Kiss knows of this and stirs clear from the room but still gives her comfort by sending food and other things that might help their leader.

Awesome character. All I ask is that you add a weakness for each of your abilities except for your clan ability and you're all set.
