Description:
Nika is an odd creature, she appears to be mostly human however not all is as it seems. A large scar spans the middle of her chest running down from the nape of her neck right down to just above her belly button. A long and winding vine link growth grows from just under her bust, it curls around her body, and is covered in lots of small flowers. Her body is athletic yet still wonderfully curved giving her quiet the appearance. Her hair is practically crimson in colour, a deep red with hints of a deep black running through it, at her forehead its almost like the hair forms into petals around her head. Her face is stunning to behold, the stern lines and angles, the slightly slanted glowing yellow and orange eyes and those perfectly plump red lips, all drawing in the eyes of those who look upon her. Her skin a perfectly smooth pale green, almost like the flesh of a seed, her body is covered in strange leaves instead of clothes, they just barely cover her ample bust, leaving her stomach and stem on show, her arms starting with the same strange petals at the shoulders, flowing down into green branch like limbs. Her fingers clawed and tipped red. Her legs donning the same dark green and black leaves, making it appear as if she is wearing thigh high boots made of plants, however it is in fact her own flesh. Her very body screams the beauty and vibrant life of nature and clearly she is much like the plants of the forrest she was born within, beautiful and riddled with deadly thorns.
ShadowThorn Seed:
Nika knows little of what she truly is, she has learnt that her body is simple a shell, a seed for the plant she will eventually grow into, her true body grows and sprouts from within her current shell, roots acting as her bones and nervous system. How this came to be she does remember, she simply grew from her seed, a need to protect herself and claim sustenance to allow her body to grow. She is a sentient Shadowthorn seed a name she gave to herself for she knows no other. From what she has learned of herself, her body is able to mimic the humanoid creatures that venture through her woods. She has adapted to appear as if she were one of them, to enable her to better blend in and hunt down this most nutritious prey. Her body is not skin and bone like the creatures she mimics, hers is a protective layer of thick skin, leaves and flexible bark, much like the thick skin on a seed. She has no real internal organs other than her seed and roots, though her body can mimic the organs of those creatures, enabling her to better understand and break down her meals.
However Nika does need to be wary and protect herself, her body is made up of highly Nutritious flesh. Her entire body is designed to hold nutriants and proteans for her roots and plant to feed upon. Adapting to counter this nature, least she be hunted down herself, Nika has developed many poisons and thorns that can grow from her body, even her nails can inject powerful toxins into the bodies of her would be predators. Able to sprout wines from her back, whip like torns that act completely to her comment, a deadly weapon able to strike from afar and inject her deadly poisons. However should someone be able to get past her defenses, they will find a meal far more valuable than any creature of flesh and blood.
Nika knows she is not like other plants, she is not even like the humanoids she mimics, she does not know how much she needs to feed to make herself grow, only a innate instinct pushing her on what to do. Sunlight also has a strange effect on her, it causes the petals on her body to open and an alluring scent to spread out around her, drawing prey towards their doom. During the night her petals change colour, almost to a deep glowing crimson, the scent intensifies, almost like an aphrodisiac to most of her prey, they simply walk right into her clutches, drugged and ready and waiting to feed her. Due to this, she primarily hunts at night and explores or rests during the day, though she can hunt and feed whenever she pleases.
History:
Nika knows little of her past or what she was, only dreams of times before she was the Shadowthorn seed. How this came to be she does not know. She remember some things, a human female, a clever woman who stalked the shadows of night. A person who could venture in darkness without being seen, trained and honed of skill since childhood. Though she remembers little of the deeds that woman achived. She does remember one thing of the woman clearly, the name Nika. As she first thought on those words they felt right to her and it seemed to open the pathway for more memories for her and from these she slowly learned to speak, at first only her name and basic words, though soon the rest came to her like a skill she had forgetten she had.
Through this it helped her remember her time linked with her mothers roots. A beautiful tree like plant in her eyes, a majestic site she dreams she herself can strive to be. Though unlike her, her mother spoke no words, only the bond between them remained. Though again memories of that woman Nika returned to her, she found herself dreaming of her once again fighting for her life in these very woods and falling to them, claimed by the land that her mother called home. Only bits remained of what happened to the woman, constricting vines, being processed as food in a pod, little else remained in her mind, though she knew from that woman's death came her birth and her name remained out of respect for the creature who dared survive the trials of her mothers forest.
She remembers sleeping for weeks and dreaming, though some months she remembered nothing, only growing within the warmth of her mother. Though soon she was released and fell to the ground. How long she lay there she was not sure, but it was this moment her roots grew, pushing around her body and taking hold. Soon vision came to her and sound and she lay there listening to the wind. A slight pressure on her chest made her look as the small nub of a stem pushed at the flesh and not yet breaking through. Though with a shaking hand she rubbed it gently with her fingers.
It took her a few days to be able to stand, a couple more for the memories of that woman lost to come to her and with it the ability to walk. Though she was unsteady for the first week. She remained near her mother, feeling content, during this time that small nub pierced her chest as she saw her first sprout and she could only smile in glee. Soon however she ventured out into the forest, leaving her mother behind. As sheleft she found strange items in the forrest, a dagger and scraps of clothing and armour clinging to the forest brush. She knew little of what they were only that they once belonged to that woman. She moved them together and placed then left them to the forest, out of respect for the woman in her dreams.
Now though she has left the cover of the forrest and she searches to learn of this world that woman knew, wishing to learn what she can before her time to take root in the ground comes to her.
Personality:
Curious, spirited and determined are best ways to describe Nika. She can however be childish and naive to the world around her. Though she it not evil, she can be sadistic and unforgiving when claiming her food.
Playstyle:
Nika is a very curious character and is constantly seeking to learn of the world around her, searching for that place to eventually root. Though she hungers to keep her body fresh with the nutrients for her seed and roots. She can gain sustanance simply from water and the sun, though its not enough to keep her fed indefinulty so she seeks other sources of food. She can eat other fruits and seeds though this feels wrong to her. And so she seeks the food source like her mother, creatures like that woman. She can use the roots in her body to feed from them, leeching the nutrients and warmth from her preys body. She can also devour them whole and digest them within herself, leaving nothing behind. Nika prefers not to kill such creatures but sometimes her own hunger pushes herto d such feats, she prefers to feed from other creatures, sapping them but leaving them able to recover with time.
Known Abilities:
Vines:
Nika's hair is not all hair, she had tought vines hiding within her fiery read main. The vines can be controlled by her and used to grab and snag her prey. They are mostly used to house the dark blue flower buds that sit throughout her hair but have sharp thorns on their lengths, allowing her to use them to hold onto her prey.
Roots:
Nika's primary method of feeding, use can extend the roots in her hands into her prey, delving them deep through the muscles and blood stream, there she can feed off those she had planted herself within, drawing out their nutrients into herself. The method is slow and somewhat painless, often just leaving her prey very tired, needing a rest and the next day very hungry and weak for a short time.
She can however use this method to completely suck eveything she needs from the prey, leaving them a dried us husk of skin and bone, their muscles and liquids pulled into her body. She prefer not to though if her hunger is enough she will not stop herself when a meal stands before her
Mimic Organs:
Using her flesh and roots Nika can create human like organs in her body, producing similar effects. Such as a stomach to hold her prey as she allows her special enzimes to digest there body, absorbing all that is broken down through the roots into herself.
A womb in which she can either house her prey for future use, for some fun or to feed on them, trapping them in her body and the womb acting much like her stomach to digest her prey.
Shadowthorn Poison:
A shadowthorn has poisons running in its sharp nails and thorns. The poison has a number of effects and is used to defend herself from other predators that want at her highly nutrisious flesh.
List of effects:
Aphrodisiac: Makes her prey gradually more and more arroused, unable to think on much else.
Paralytic: Paralyses her prey allowing her to flee from them or feed uppon them with ease.
Nerv Toxin: Damages and destroys the nerves in her preys body, one sure fire way to take down her prey and feed on them.
Sleep: Simple as that, it puts her prey into a deep slumber. Usually used to help prey she has fed from rest so long as she has not killed them. Its also a means her to get around undetected.
Acidic: Digests her prey from the inside out, leaving them as a nutritious soup for her to simply suck up through her roots. She usually just finds a hole on their body and drinks from them while they are digesting and still alive.
Poisoned Darts: Simply allows her to fire a dart that is a mixture of all her poisons from the flowers in her hair, however can only be used at night whilst they are in bloom.
