Sylthea is a witch. She is a black mage, occultist, and alchemist all rolled into one package with a frighteningly powerful mana pool to draw on...and even other sources of arcane power that are more disturbing still. She can use her own life as power, even her own soul, or channel the emptiness of the void itself.
On top of that, as far as lamias go, Sylthea is rather...big bodied, like the lamias of En'Shala, due to her rich anaconda lamia heritage.
But her Taipan heritage gives her something else, rather deadly venom that anaconda lamias do not possess. From two fangs in her mouth, she is capable of delivering a venom so lethal that is doubtful even with medicine that they would survive it. If injected right into an artery...it is "The Kiss of Death".
Nevertheless, with magic and with alchemy, she has learned to control this venom, and change it to do different things.
So, here is a short list of Sylthea's abilities!
1. Multi-Talented: Sylthea can draw abilities from mana, her own life, her soul, psychic power and even the void itself. This makes "shutting her down" extremely difficult.
2. Dark Sorceress: Sylthea is capable of manipulating Cold, Electricity and Heat in many forms. Cold winds, frozen air/water, lightning or electro-balls or straight out beams of energy, fire, plasma, lava. Sylthea is accomplished in these things.
3. Death Priestess: Sylthea is capable of using the abilities of evil priests, channeling curses, hexes, and even possessions into her enemies, as well as cursing and corrupting their minds. It is through this that she is also able to channel death itself or "Shadow" as a destructive force.
4. Psion: Sylthea is an accomplished psychic, and has a limited ability to foretell the future, fate, or the true nature of things around her.
5. Occultist: Sylthea's power in every area is amplified by powerful pacts made with demonic and void entities. She is not only capable of using "evil" magic, but void magic as well, and is capable of summoning them into the realm to serve her needs.
6. Alchemist: Sylthea's knowledge of herbs, metals, and various powers related to the material world allow her to mix potions, elixers, and force metals charged with powers normally one would not see in the natural world.
7. Enchantress: Sylthea's knowledge of Alchemy and Magic mixed allow her to imbue items with powers normally not seen in the natural.
8. Big and Powerful: Sylthea's Anaconda Lamia heritage has left her of something of a powerful lamia. She is not trained in being a physical fighter, but her constriction should not be scoffed at...she is trained at taking down prey by these means, and could reduce a man to a bloody pudding in under 3 minutes if she wanted to.
Due to her human half's sheer physical size, a punch would also hurt, something like 3 to 5 times as painful as an untrained man, and equal-ish to that of a trained human male warrior. She is DEFINITELY nothing special, or all that strong, though. She cannot win a fight against ANYONE trained in any way like this, but could overpower the average human.
9. Venomous: By default, Sylthea's venom is a 45-minute death sentence, but due to her knowledge of magic and alchemy, she is capable of giving her bite different effects. Some of the more prominent are listed below:
-a. Lust Venom: Getting bit by this will make you hornier than you ever thought possible!
-b. Hypno Venom: Getting bit by this will make you an easily suggestable zombie.
-c. Acid Venom: An amplification of her normal venom, but you won't just become poisoned, you will melt from the inside. This is not something she normally does, and reserves it for people she truly hates.
-d. Charm Venom: Essentially a love potion.
-e. Sense Venom: Depends. It is used to make the victim feel a certain way. Examples include freezing, or burning, tingling, being rubbed all over, etc. This is one of the more complex venoms and works through the use of alchemical magic.
-f. Food Venom: One of her favorites, this venom will possess the victim of a maddened desire to be eaten...usually by her. She reserves this for those she disdains.
-g. Thrall Venom: One of her most magical and malicious of venoms, one bite from this will turn someone into her slave forever, to be ended only upon death...they will serve her, sex her, even feed themselves to her if they wish. Though, there are rumors the woman has an even scarier version of this venom...one that will last past even reformation, but there are no known cases.
10. Hungry: Well...she can unhinge her jaw, she can unhinge her ribcage, and every last aspect of her digestive tract from her mouth to her ass is stretchy as hell. Her acids are no joke either, but she has ways to make them more efficient, or even not active at all. So, watch out! Upon meeting her, your scent alone may be the key factor in her decision to dine!
