Background
Melaina was born from the union of a devil and a dhampire. She wasn't the first child, but unlike her other sibling, she was taken to be raised by her father, Soma. Melaina had the darkness inside of her but growing up she was able to control it. Mostly. As Melaina became older, she grew to realize how dangerous that darkness inside of her truly was. For a point in time, Melaina lived in complete seclusion, keeping away from all that she could. Despite the loneliness she felt, which seemed to be amplified for her as she was by nature a 'social' creature... She believed by isolating herself that, she was keeping others safe. There was also the fact that she always felt like something very bad out there was watching her...
Melaina quickly learned that her theory of isolation wasn't helping. Darkness seemed to find her anyway. A group of demons approached her dwelling in the woods one evening with the intent of killing her and taking her blood. When death seemed almost inevitable, Melaina passed out. When she woke up all she found were the remains of the demons that had attacked her.
Horrified, Melaina reached out to her father. Her father had her train with elders and scholars and whoever that was available to help understand and control what she was. After her training, she began to see that her abilities could be approached in two ways. Either as a curse... or to use them to help people. Melaina has decided that she wanted to help. She wanted to do what was right.

Special Abilities
(These are skills, things that can be learned or trained, like martial arts techniques, Jutsu or magic spells. Abilities that are outside the norm of regular humans, but only because they have not had access to them.)
Some basic self defense. She knows how to throw a punch/kick.
Powers & Merits
Succubus: In her succubus form, Melaina grows large sleek bat-like wings on her back and smaller 'batwings' on her head. Her wings are sentinent and are able to fight on her behalf (Whether she wants them to or not), block attacks and twist into different shapes.
Blood Drain: Melaina can transform her wings into tendrils (or hands) to grasp an opponent and literally squeeze or drain blood out of them.
Mirror Doll: Melaina can create one mirror image (clone) of herself. She can use this to fight with her in combo moves. Or she can use it to go do things for her outside of combat.
Shadow Wave (or Shining Blade, I don't know whatever it's freaking called): a large power infested uppercut against her enemy
Soul Fist: a fireball shot thing made of soul energy? I dunno. made of something.
Splendor Love: Melaina, uh, goes naked and bats fly around her which at that point she flies at the enemy and if she gets close to them, the bats beat the shit out of the target. This hurts. A lot.
Gloomy Puppet Show: Melaina throws a top hat at the target, exclaiming 'It's Show Time!' and if it hits the target, they find themselves on a stage with a spotlight while Melaina holds up a sign reading dance moves. If the target cannot dance well to suit the audience, the audience will boo and throw crap at the target. This'll be a more comedic move but it really really hurts too^^;; this is one of Lilith's strongest supers.
Shadow Tentacles (or Arms of the Abyss): she has the ability to use and control them. She gets this from her father and her mother.
Dhampire Essence: Melaina has the blood of a Dhampire in her veins and as such (also by being a devil/succubus) she is gifted with supernatural strength, reflexes, speed and stamina. She can take massive punishment and survive, as well as inflict high levels of damage with melee attacks. This also gives her enhanced senses and the ability to see in the dark, but her other senses are all attuned to blood. Blood drinking will refill her inner strength and help restore her, but not as much as a vampire would.
Gift of Shadows:
- Darkness: Melaina can form a 10' globe of absolute darkness.
- Shadow Form: Melaina can turn into a shadow, allowing her to enter any area where light is available, and teleport to and fro visible shadows.
Merits
- Clear Sighted (3): You are not fooled by illusions, and you get an Alertness roll to see through illusions, Difficulty 7, any time you face one.
- Soothing Voice (2): You have an entrancing voice. When using your voice (speeches, singing, poetry), you get a +2 Bonus on Social rolls. When making casual conversation, +1 Bonus.
- Innocent (2): You have an aura of childlike innocence (whether you really are or not). +1 Bonus involving Subterfuge or Manipulation.
Unique Items
None.
Items Of Note
Cellphone. Likes to play Cellphone games.
Weaknesses & Flaws
Melaina is a hybrid of devil/vampire/human. Holy attacks will hurt her pretty badly. While she does not have the traditional weaknesses a vampire has, or the need for blood, she still sometimes craves it which scares her. She absolutely does not like violence and is constantly worried what her darker half would do.
If Melaina were to fall unconscious or is about to fall into extreme danger or enter a deadly situation, there is a chance that her succubus self will trigger and do whatever it takes to protect her. This also freaks her out so she will always be incredibly cautious in all combat situations.
Flaws
- Enemy (3): Somebody's out to hurt you or your reputation, or even kill you (or people close to you). A 1-point enemy is less than or comparable to your own ability, a 5-point enemy could easily kick your ass into next Tuesday. Note: the severity of the flaw also explains how much the person is out to get you. A 5pt Enemy is pretty much dedicated to pounding your ass in (and can), whereas a 1pt enemy is either a devoted Rival or a stronger opponent who'll take any chance to crush you but generally ignores you unless you get in their face. Taking a 3-5 Point enemy is basically asking the GM to send out a SERIOUSLY dangerous person after you on a regular basis. (Selene has a big issue with her. and if the opportunity presents itself, she will hunt her down and use her body.)
- Masochist/Sadist (1): You either enjoy pain or enjoy inflicting it on others. In addition to the inconveniences this fascination may cause you, you may also be seen as sick (and, well you are), or even more sick people may use you for your obsession. (She doesn't mind pain at all.. and this freaks her out.)
- Outsider (2): Though you're not exactly infamous, you have a poor reputation amongst your kind. +2 penalty on all social rolls when interacting with your group. (Melaina does not want any part of her succubus or vampiric heritage. This often pisses her kind off.)
- Group Enmity (2): Some group amongst your kind, i.e. another clan/tribe/tradition/whatever, doesn't like you and may prevent you going places you might otherwise go or may otherwise give you hell in a variety of ways. (Demon Slayers.. Vampire Hunters. Take your pick.)
