Character Application
Name: Amoura Clarice Ethelia Sex: Female. Age: 102 Race:: Vampire Rank: Rank 3 I believe. I'll look again when I'm done ^^; Them Songs: Angered At Another:"The Devil's Own"-Five Finger Death Punch During A Fight: "Die Mother Fucker"-Dope or "Her Portrait In Black"-Atreyu Deep In Thought: "Bless The Child"-Nightwish Depression/Sadness: "All I Need"-Within Temptation
Appearance: "Never judge a book by its cover"? Wise words but you'll never know nowadays. If someone looks like they can cause trouble then it's best to keep your distance.
This is what Amoura gives off when a stranger looks at her. Does she actually cause trouble? Heheh, you better believe it. This cruel and sadistic woman always has this look in those vivid green eyes that makes you feel you're being pierced right through over, and over, and over. Why, one may think that she's already plotting on slaughtering you in the most merciless way possible! And for all you know, that might be the case...
Long, flaming red hair stops just above her slim waist which she'll often times pull back in a pony tail, braid or something else. She can get very creative at times so Amoura might come up with the most random styles there is. However, she does love the feeling of her hair against her back so most of the time it will be worn down. I suppose one should blame the influences of Star Wars for her quirky styles.
Amoura stands at about five foot seven and her figure itself is very lithesome. Like all vampires, she has the stereotypical pale skin. Rather than having her eyes turn a red, purple or whatever seems to be the usual color for vampiric eyes, hers remained vivid green only it took on a more venomous form. When angered, they seem to glow but only enough to make one realize it might NOT have been a good idea to piss her off in the first place. However if you're a worthy adversary then maybe it will only excite you before the fight!
When it comes to attire, the vampiress will do what most vampires are known for doing: wear darker clothing. Due to not being able to go out into the sun, she no longer owns brighter clothes. First off, if you wear colorful attire in the evening that's practically screaming, "SHOOT ME/ RAPE MY ARSE/ KILL ME" and so on. Now, Amoura doesn't mind a good fight and all but she doesn't like having too much attention being drawn to herself. So she takes care to avoid gothic attire as well. If what she wears helps her blend in with the night, that's all that matters.
Makeup is a rarity to be seen on this vampiress. Though sometimes her pale skin will make her stand out like a candle in darkness if there's enough light to catch it. This led to her sometimes wearing a hood over her face to peel off staring eyes. Of course that sometimes draws more than needed attention. In this day and age it is sometimes difficult to conceal what she truly is.
Cloaks are very much out of the question so she'll wear a leather trench coat with a hood. Haha! Funny no? Considering how popular that is among many. So what if it's in the movies? These coats last longer and they keep you warm. Then again, vampires really don't have much body heat to spare now do they? At least it's easy to hide any weapons she owns.
During a fight, her sometimes calm appearance will take on a different form. She'll have a wild look in her eyes and movements will be swift. As mentioned earlier, her eye will take on a slight glow which makes it easier to find her in the darkness. Think of an animal who stares at you from the dark with those eyes and their demonic-like glow...
When it comes to fangs it all depends on her current situation and emotion. When calm, they aren't too noticeable but she takes care to hide the fact they exist. It took time but she learned how to hide them well. When angered, they elongate and at that point, she will have to be cautious since she can easily tear her lower lip. At one point, they grew past her lower lip but that was only during a high level of blood lust and during her earlier years as a vampiress.
With her now drinking blood when needed, she no longer has those moments but if angered to a certain extreme, then that side will come forth. At that point she'll become a mindless killing machine. Ehehe, not a good way to have attention drawn to you am I right?

Personality:
"Oh please don't kill me! I beg you don't! I have a wife and children to look after! We're barely making enough as it is!" A young man pleaded while on his knees before the vampiress. Rather than showing pity, a cruel, cold smile appeared on her ageless face. "I don't give a damn if you're innocent or not. I'm bored out of my mind and besides...I'm hungry...."
Hmmm...well I guess it's safe to say that she falls under the category of a psychotic killer. Whereas most vampires try their best to save others, she happily slaughters! Yeah, typical of a vampire to enjoy carnage am I right? This vamipress LIVES to see blood spill onto cement! Just the idea of watching it ink across a sidewalk and form into a beautiful pool under the pale moonlight excites her to no end!
She followed one Countess' example and bathed in virgin blood for a time. It was great until washing the crimson out of her hair got harder and harder. Naturally, she had to give up on doing that and could only resort to dipping most of her body in it. In this day and age? Rather hard to do that since finding criminals has become somewhat easier. BUT with the rise in crime, the authorities are too busy! Haha! And so the insanity shall ensue!
For this vampiress, it doesn't matter what age you are. Be it an infant to an elderly woman, she will satisfy her urges to kill whether it's barbaric or not. Then again, killing for pleasure is a savage thing to do so why should age matter?
Another very odd fact about this vampiress is she's a necrophiliac. For those who don't know what this is? She likes to "make love" to corpses. Something about the body being cold and stiff attracts her to that idea. Now she's never made love to anything that moves so, oddly enough, she lost her virginity to some random corpse. Odd way for that to go isn't it? --- "I don't understand. Why did you help me back there?" A young woman asked Amoura. Her trench coat was draped over the human's shoulders to keep the chill of the night out. With a sigh, the female looked over at the younger one with a surprisingly gentle glow on her face, "I was like you once. No one was there when I needed help. I don't want people to become what I have..."
Alright so she's not completely heartless. Under that savage-like personality of hers, she can be very, very caring. Hard to believe, yes, but that gentleness is still there. Those who witness both sides come to wonder why on earth she's like this. Naturally, the vampiress doesn't want to get close to anyone for fear of killing them or someone else doing that job for her.
Whether she likes it or not, Amoura is alone most of the time because of that one urge she has trouble taming. Even at her tender age she still cannot reign that one part of her personality. When it wants out, she normally gives in. Now if she made friends with one who was capable of handling her while in this state of mind, then she'll gladly accept the company for a time.
Who's to say she won't strike out when her current ally is asleep? Or when their back is turned? Another reason why she refuses company for too long. A rather sad existence, yes, but this was the path she chose the day her Master let her go.
However I will say this. It's rare to see Amoura when she has this part of her revealed. --- Amoura threw back her head and cackled maniacally as the slayer looked at her with a confused expression. "YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME YOU LOW LIFE?! LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT THEN! COME ON! MAKE MY NIGHT!"
Fights. Something this vampiress enjoys more than anything! Allow me to change the lyrics from "music is my hot hot sex" to "violence is my hot hot sex". We already know about this so might as well move onto the next topic. --- Amoura glanced out the window, elbows resting upon the window sill as she stared up at the stars. What was the vampiress thinking about? What could suddenly bring that look of torment and sadness into those piercing green eyes...?
Being as old as she is, Amoura has moments in which she doubts if she should continue on in this life. Her urge to take life or anything else suddenly becomes less appealing to her and she sits alone in a dark room for days on end. During that time she'll think on what to do in the future. What goals should she have to give her a reason to stay on earth? Should she change her ways? Perhaps go elsewhere and find other meanings to life? Seek out a religion? Those sort of questions. These phases don't last for too long.

When two teenagers decided to have sex without using any form of protection, Amoura was born nine months later. Rather than abandoning her, the couple, including Amoura left the life of being farmers and moved into a small town where they raised her to be a fairly decent child. As the years rolled by, Amoura lived a good life with her loving parents and would get along with everyone around her. Many thought she was the perfect child due to how obedient and polite she was.
Unfortunately, when she turned eight, things turned for the worst.
Hardship hit the family hard without any chance of recovering. Her father would come home late at night drunk as a skunk and smelled heavily of perfume. He was having affairs left and right, plus he would beat his wife to take out any further frustration he had pent up. One night, little Amoura walked in on him throwing her mother against a mirror. When she fell and didn't get back up, Amoura screamed causing her father to look straight at her. Frightened, she ran and hid in her closet.
Her father found her.
When the night was finally over, Amoura had to stay in bed due to numerous injuries to her legs and arms. If her father wasn't stopped by her mother, she probably would have died that very night. However, something did die that night.
Her child-like innocent view towards the world.
Everything was dark, cold, no one cared about you and the only way you can survive is to take out aggressors. Constant beatings from her father finally made her believe this.
At the age of nine, she was always getting into fights, stating that she enjoyed watching blood spill and hearing people beg for mercy. Frightened that her daughter was losing her mind, Amoura's mother took her to a pshyciatrist who simply stated she was going through a phase.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a phase, a part of Amoura just enjoyed doing harm to others no matter what the cost!
One time, she nearly killed a student which led her to being expelled from school. Because of this, her mother place Amoura in an asaylum. For years, she stayed there, constantly biting the necks of her barbie dolls, claiming she was a vampire. Because of this, the other children who were there took care to avoid her. Those who weren't lucky were attacked and bitten by her, often times she would drink as much blood as possible before she was pulled back and locked away for a while.
Realizing that this won't get her freedom, the child behaved and was eventually released back to her home. Her father was still drinking and doing his usual routine of beatings but this time, the female wasn't going to let him go.
While he slept on the sofa, she sharpened the meat cleaver her mother used and skillfully slit his throat! Oho! The child didn't stop there! Heavens no! She began to hack his body into pieces! By the time she finished? It was hard to recognize who he was!
You should have seen the look on her mother's face when she walked in, finding her daughter bathing in her father's blood! Worst of all? The child seemed to be in a trance! Her eyes were wide and an eerie smile was on her face. While sitting on her father's remains, she began to sing a lullaby! Talk about creepy!
Back into the asylum she went and there she stayed for another ten years. She was at the age of thirteen when she was released for the first time and turned twenty three when disaster struck the place.
One night, a vampire attacked the asalymn, setting everyone free including herself. However, the vampire saw potential in her whilst watching her mercilessly slaughter anyone who got in her way and decided to turn her into one of them...against her will. This sudden sharp pain in her neck brought Amoura out of the state of mind she was in only to awaken to another nightmare.
Her Master, Vex, brought a horrid definition to the term "Master and Slave". Years and years of torment and such only caused Amoura to become nothing more than an empty shell! Naturally, her Master grew sick of this and ended up setting her free.
Lost, confused and without knowledge of the world around her, she wandered the streets unsure on what to do...
A few times she managed to capture a mortal or two to feed upon but it wasn't enough to keep her from growing weaker....and weaker.................... --- Amoura woke up later on in a warm bed to a few friendly faces. They stated they were also fellow vampires and wanted to help her out. Naturally, the vampiress agreed and gladly accepted their help. They taught her how to defend herself, read higher leveled books due to the fact that her education was cut short from her time at the asylum and other things that will help her in this day and age.
It took time for her to learn how to trust the people before her. The group itself consisted of ten people, six of which were male and four were female. The female's names were:
-Karissa: She became very close to this one, almost like a sister she never had. She taught Amoura Kong Fu every other day in the week. When she wasn't being trained in self defense and such, they hung out in the living room of their home, talking and playing games. During a battle, she was nearly killed and from that point on, Amoura was frightened of something else happening to her...
-Samantha: These two were rivals from the start. Samantha loved causing problems for Amoura since she was a troublemaker to begin with. Just to irritate her, she'd poke the bottom of her blood packet and RIGHT when she takes a drink, the blood leaks out onto her attire. Naturally they tried to get back at each other as much as possible! But during combat, they got along well since everyone had to work together or they'd get their asses kicked.
-Ashley: She was the computer nerd in the group and would often times not talk to anyone. She'd be on the net looking up information, trying to increase her knowledge. The relationship Amoura had with her never went beyond acquaintanceship.
-Sarah: Sarah was like a mother to everyone and was the doctor as well. She taught Amoura first aid and other medical needs in case if someone was down during combat. These two were best friends for a time until she was killed in action by a werewolf.
The male's names were:
Jonathan: He was Karissa's wife and looked after Amoura like an older brother. In a sense, Karissa and Jonathan pretty much adopted her as their own until she was able to understand things better. When Amoura was in the mood, he helped her read and even taught her higher levels of math to sharpen her way of thinking.
Yohan: Yohan and Amoura DID NOT get along AT ALL. They were always getting into fights, always making snide comments behind each other's back and many times their little one on ones did not end well for each other. I guess one could say she learned how to defend herself a lot better after having to deal with the bastard for a long time.
Maxwell: He was the half-crazed fellow on the team other than Amoura. The two of them got along just fine since they both had a desire to spill blood. Not much to say on their relationship.
Jacob: Now Amoura had a very, very close relationship with Jacob. They were inseparable but never went to the level of being lovers. Yes, they did love each other greatly but felt that sex wasn't needed in their relationship. Unfortunately, while the two of them were on a solo mission, he was killed right before her eyes and even used against her in a fight. Due to this incident, she refused to make any other close relationships. The idea of another being used against her again only makes her remember the the torment Jacob had to go through before he finally met his demise...
Peter: He was the pervert of the group and would often times hit on Amoura just to piss Jacob off. When not bothering poor Amoura, he'd play with the other female's minds and would even taunt the men. Hey, everyone needs a pervert to smack every so often am I right?
Ronan: He was a lot like Maxwell. The two both shared an equal passion for a good fight. Not much else to say on him.
That aside. When Amoura learned the fighting styles taught to her, they moved her onto higher levels which came in handy when she went out on missions to take care of troublesome beings. If you were an anime geek like myself? You'd think of Hellsing only not as high tech.
For about forty years of her life, she stayed with them, following orders without question-say for a few times. But when the death of Jacob suddenly came around, she left the group one day without saying goodbye... --- Now on her own, the vampiress ran into many difficult situations but with thanks to the training with different weapons, she was able to fend for herself. Past urges soon arose and eventually, Amoura became what we know today....

Other
Specialties:
Amoura loves to play the flute whenever she gets the chance to do so. Sometimes, before she slays a lycan, fellow vampire, or human for sport, she'll play a quick tune before the bloodshed ensues. During whatever spare time she had, she learned how to play the fiddle as well and knows a few celtic tunes. Guitar is also something she can play too.
Aside from her artistic talents, she's a black belt in Kong Fu (with bits of Praying Mantis Kong Fu thrown in). Most of the time she'll resort to street fighting though and that she had to learn on her own.
Blades and guns are both her specialties whenever it is needed.
If need be, she'll use her Ruger SR9's or Desert Eagles. Other weapons she possesses are Tessen (Japanese War Fan) for up close combat and double bladed boomerangs for long distance shots.
Weaknesses:
One of her biggest fears is large, rabid looking rats. If she sees one, she'll go crazy, grab her cheap bullets and shoot the hell out of that thing until it's a pile of slime. Another one of her fears is going into the ocean due to watching Jaws films way too many times, yes, even Flipper scared her a bit despite how cute that dolphin was. The last thing Amoura wanted was for a dolphin or a shark to suddenly come up out of no where and either bite or prod her.
Another fear is the thought of losing a loved one or a companion so she takes care to avoid that. To her, relationships are a waste of time and a sign of weakness since anyone could use that person you care about against you.
Likes:
-Amoura loves music of all kinds but she mostly prefers Death Metal. It gets her going and makes a fight much more entertaining! -Playing her flute, guitar, fiddle and singing. -Carnage *is shot* -Getting drunk when she can
Dislikes: -People who are full of themselves -People in general -Fangirls when it comes to anime and such (*is shot*) -WHEN PEOPLE TOUCH HER WEAPONS OR INSTRUMENTS! She's HIGHLY protective of them. You touch? YOU DIE! A slow and PAINFUL death!

Her pale cheeks puffed, brushing off dust from the fresh carvings. For a third attempt, they didn't turn out to be so bad. Well, more work was needed but this will do for now. Besides, this was starting to get dull. With the carving in her pocket, Amoura put away her dagger and then continued to star gaze. One arm rested upon her bent leg whilst her chin rested upon her open palm.
The tracing of constellations began once more. Alas, the names STILL will not return to the red head! So, she'll just make up names for them until she found the answer! There we go. Problem solved. Now she did know the Big Dipp-oh wait, was that even here? Emerald eyes squinted, she looked above only to find no trace of said constellation. Eh. Why did this even concern her?
A rat scurried about in search of food only an arm's length from the female. One second later, the rodent was snatched into her strong grip and she held it out, watching the pathetic being squirm! Oh yes! It tried to bite her but he'll have little luck with that. The terrified squeaks and the clawing only served to amuse her even more!
"Awww...what's the matter little fella? Scared I'll eat you? Gut you? Bleed you? Tear you?" Her smile took on an eerie form as she began to constrict the poor creature! The squirming continued for a while longer until the rodent hung limp within her grasp! Such a short, unfulfilling form of entertainment but it will have to do. With a sigh, she dropped the rodent onto the grass below and swung both legs over the edge, allowing them to sway to and fro.
Now! What shall she do? Go terrorize families? Become a boogieman to a children? Or even better: an angel of death? Yes, yes, yes, very exciting to some but not to Amoura. No, she had to do something else! But what?! What can this female due to ease her boredom?
Slaughter! Best of all the town up ahead wasn't too far off! Her mouth watered at the very thought of watching blood splash to the floor! To watch it glimmer under the pale moonlight! Such a beautiful color blood had...such a wonderful shade...
Now at said town, she glanced up ahead to find two people walking: a man and a woman. Both of them were wearing rings but how...unalike they were. Adulterous couples...the best kind to exterminate. Her lips parted into a sadistic grin before she ducked into the shadows, waiting for them to come closer. Closer. Closer.
Then she rolled out, aiming her gun loaded with cheap bullets. WHAM! He fell to the floor from being struck in the middle of the eyes! What sharp eyesight this woman had! Not once did she stray from the very center!
"HENRY! OH GAAA-AH!" The woman was now pinned against the wall behind her due to a tight hand being clamped around her throat, "OUR FATHER WHO ART IN H-" Her iron grip tightened while the woman cried out a prayer. "Come out of the dark times my dear! Those verses mean NOTHING any longer! Have you been blind all these years? Typical of humans..." She chuckled. Swiftly, she shot up and sank her canines into the woman's shoulder, tearing off the flesh! Blood sprayed forth from the jugular vein and into the red-head's wide open mouth! Oh how wonderful it tasted! Her mouth was unable to keep all of what flowed in! The crimson dripped from her mouth and splattered onto the ground below her.
Ah yes, the woman struggled while her trachea began to slowly collapse! Then, she hung there, blue in the face, eyes wide in terror! By now the woman was drenched in her own blood as was Amoura. A bath will be called for but not here. Slowly, she withdrew from the corpse, allowing her to fall to the ground.
"Too bad you didn't have anymore to spare my dear," she stated while her long tongue lapped at the still warm blood on her hands. The scent, the flavor, the color! So damned orgasmic! Shivers ran up and down the woman's spine while her tongue savored the taste as if though it were a rare treat!

I really like your character. Very sadistic; it's nice to have an evil character lounging around the board And your profile was a very entertaining read. Your writing is very enthusiastic. Though I'll have to ask you to keep most of your exclamation points in your dialogue. It's ok to use them sparingly elsewhere but they were starting to become a little excessive.
A few things I'd like to address in Amoura's story: -Considering that the majority of her life was spent with this group of vampires, I think you should write more about her relationship with them. Bring in specific characters she became attached to, or that she avoided becoming attached to. Maybe that's where she learned to fear relationships? Also, if Amoura is so adept in fighting methods, you should write more on her training. -Speaking of fighting methods, I think you should limit Amoura's abilities. I know we haven't specified how many weapons a vampire can have or whatnot, but A. her life doesn't revolve around training in weaponry or fighting styles, and B. she's over-powered compared to characters at her rank. -Lastly, since you mentioned silver bullets and bible verses, I just want to make sure you've read the races section. Silver bullets have no special affect on lycans or any other race. Also, angels and demons are governed by The Veil, not Heaven or Hell.
Please make those corrections and let me know when you've finished editing ^^
