Name : Saga
Alias : The Northern Demon
Gender : Female
Age : As old as the hills themselves—perhaps literally. She stopped counting after centuries of watching civilizations rise and fall.
Race : Demon
Sexuality : Bisexual
Marital Status : Single, incredibly hesitant to begin any solid relationships.
Origin : Born of Lantio's memories and dreams, Saga is as native to the oblivia as one could be.
Current Residence : Has no set-in-stone residence. She is almost always on the move, namely due to her many contracts that must be fulfilled, and generally rests where she drops.
Occupation : Bounty hunter—though mostly of monsters and other demons, with a very rare human or similar mortal species in the mix.
Height : 6'5” in.
Weight : 196 lbs.
Body Type : Rather tall, with much of her height being in her legs. Slender and toned to a tee.
Skin : Somewhat smooth to the touch in what few relatively unmarred places there are left on her, it does not tan much more than what it is now, and that is only a light one. Very rarely burns in most places, though it does become more common in the desert. Had an odd bluish tone to it. The skin beneath her mask is very pale, and soft as though the mask has been protecting what little bit of unscathed skin there is left on her.
Eyes : An icy blue. They are piercing to her foes, and yet warm to those close to her, they are rather reflective of Saga as a whole. Somehow, they always seem to speak of a sadness or loneliness.
Hair : Very long, a slightly off shade of bluish silver. Often wears it in braided cat tails.
Physical Description : (Will be filled out soon.)
Speech : Roughly average so far as pitches go, but she speaks somewhat...oddly, as though she's noticeably trying to pronounce words in a way they would be understandable. If not trying hard to do this, though, the language patterns of the Sojourn still leak from her, her sentences fluid and almost seeming to lack punctuation.
Personality : Saga seems to be completely different in her behaviours on the battlefield and in a more peaceful situation. In a fight, especially against other demons, an ancient viciousness stirs up in her, a true warrior's spirit who has been honed over centuries. At a peace and relaxed state, though, she is quite friendly, and sociable to an extent. May come off as almost motherly at times, especially around children.
Likes : She is a demon of simple pleasures, to be sure. The forests and coasts are her favourite places to be, other than the city. Happiness, sunshine, birds singing; it's all enjoyable. Peace is something she strives for, and though she knows an everlasting peace is impossible, she revels in it when it is available. She likes to be around other people in her spare time.
Dislikes : In spite of the path she has chosen, Saga actually does not like fighting nor conflict in general, and really only does what she does in hopes of one day finding and killing the despicable Daemon. She hopes that then she would be able to rest, but deep down she knows she wouldn't, as there would always be some menace in the world to fight, and people who need the menace fought. It's very frustrating to her when others won't listen to her, especially when she has their best interests in mind. She thinks the scars that wind all over her body are ugly, speaking of violence that she is not proud of. The only thing she may possibly hate is the Daemon, although she does pity it in some small way or other. Despises greed and selfishness.
Fears : Losing those close to her, to an extent where she is often afraid of forming relationships at all. All other fears have come and gone with time, and she fears little else.
Family : Technically, her parent may have been Lantio, but she never considered him as such, and was raised by the “wind and snow” of the north. Lantio fathered three sons, but all were killed by the Daemon. Has a somewhat distant sister.
History : (Will be filled out soon.)
Allegiance : Being a bounty hunter, Saga isn't particularly allied with anyone. She serves her client and strives to fulfill the contracts she accepts—and she is rather picky about them, no innocents period. However, she does ultimately aim to do well for all.
Weapons : She has the skills and experience to use just about anything as an effective weapon, but in particular, she keeps multiple daggers on her person when not in a peaceful settlement, fine bows and arrows, and almost always carries two ancient swords, which often end up being her most reliable weapons. Typically wears a short sword of some sort at her hip- a more or less disposable sword that the select few who know her fighting habits the very best refer to as the "Forced Blade."
Magick : Has a moderately high grasp of magick, with her ability to learn it so fast when she sets her mind to it perhaps coming from her creator being a powerful wizard, as the legends go. Aside from the spells she must learn to face monsters and demons in her contracts, she has mastered several ice-based spells. In particular, freezing—in people, she usually will only use it to the extent of encasing a limb in a relatively thin layer of ice, only to stun them for a moment. It generally does not cause any permanent damage. However, if she so pleased, she could easily send someone into hyperthermia, or cause them to freeze to death in a block of ice. This is not how she works, though, and rather prefers deaths to be quick and precise if she must kill at all. Her bows, arrows, and swords all seem to have varying degrees of magick in them. Their secrets have yet to be entirely revealed, however, and even she does not know their full extent of power.
Strengths : Perhaps her largest strength would be her inability to die of old age, being a demon. Everything else may kill her, but she is very resilient to diseases and often fares well with wounds mortals would find to be very severe. She heals rather quickly. With her centuries of life, she's trained practically every part of her body, and is very graceful and swift, allowing her to strike with quick precision. She is very skilled with blades and bows, and can think fast enough to turn almost anything into a weapon or shield. As aforementioned, she is somewhat skilled with magicks, and has a good enough memory to memorize several one-use spells used in fighting a particular monster or demon. Fairly level-headed in almost all situations.
Weaknesses : Unfortunately, one could strike a rather sour chord with her by bringing up her dead children, and picking at her helplessness then. She may become blinded with rage if persistence is practiced, and that makes her stupid, just as anyone else. Her motherly instincts can also be exploited very well, particularly by shapeshifters. Does not hold up very well against fire. Also, as said before, she may be unable to die of old age, but anything else may kill her, and powerful magicks are particularly effective.
