Description:
Like a tower silhouette against a clear, blue sky, she is noticed by her size. Roxanna Nightingale stands at approximately six feet and four inches of height, which is rather tall for a female. She is leggy, lanky, and long in every which way. Perhaps this might make one look awkward, but she flaunts it wonderfully, giving herself elegance and grace to her massive, towering-tall height. She has an angled chin, slightly caved-in cheeks, high cheek bones, and a light smile, if you get the chance to see it. Vampire fangs jut out of her mouth by about two centimeters. Her body, though, is slim and slender, with only faint curves around her hips. She's much thinner than she is curvy, but this doesn't matter to her. She feels having a sexy body would only hinder her in her efforts to rule her county. Impressing men isn't at the top of her priority list, if on it at all.

Pale and flawless, her skin hasn't a single mark of beauty nor disfigurement upon it. No freckles, no moles, no scars. Smooth, soft skin, nearly white as paper. Only drinking others' blood gives it a flesh color; if she is deprived of the substance, her body drains of strength and color, leaving her to look like an ivory statue. Well, except for her hair and eyes. When she's fully fed of humanoid blood (because she never drinks the blood of beasts), her eyes are a pale crimson. If she's overfed, which is usually a good thing because it puts her in a better mood, they are a very dark-colored red, similar to blood but as if the night graced it with the essence of shadow. If she's underfed, her eyes will drain of color, soon going white themselves, except for the pupils. It's quite eerie, looking as if she were possessed, ghostly, a spirit... Gone from this world.

Her hair, on the other hand, always remains either very dark grey/brown or light black – whichever you would like to call it. It's rather long, cascading down her back to her waist, though she usually wears her bangs loosely tied behind her hair, allowing her shorter bangs to give her a more professional look. Her hair is dead straight, naturally, and it's silky soft and smooth.

Roxanna isn't very much into dressing fancily, like one might assume a noble would. The only thing remotely "fanciful" or "dressy" about her is her twelve ear piercings. Most of the time she wears skintight or black clothing, which serves as a light armor that shields her from severe damage from potential sudden attack but also gives her an easy outfit to move around in freely like a cat would. Her movements are indeed catlike, and she needs the proper clothing to suit them.

Her bow, Hatreds Soul, as well as the arrows that accompany it, is a smaller-than-average longbow. It is about six feet in length, just barely shorter than she is. It is a finely crafted bow made of Draconian True Silver, along with the shafts of her arrows. Crimson accents signal its enchantment of fire. Her arrow heads are made of Saeculan Steel, sharpened to perfection and enchanted with the power of the flame.


PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Alignment: Lawful neutral
Religious Affiliation: Selfish (secretly)
Likes: being in charge, being superior, killing, darkness, night, being sneaky, power, animals, bossing others around
Dislikes: Falkor, the fact Falkor is the king of Verfell, her brother, her past, disrespect, ignorance, obliviousness, bubbliness, superficiality, shallowness
Description:
One might call her a bitch. Well, that is probably because she is indeed just that. Perhaps not to that degree, depending on how close you are with her. Roxanna is usually very sarcastic and dry, asking rhetorical questions and angering when one oblivious, aloof soul has the nerve to answer them. She tries to keep her cool, but it doesn't work out so well. She gets heated frequently, and she just loses it.

When she's not angry, she has a tendency to be snappish and snarky, replying with witty comments that allude to her cunning. True, she's not always polite. She has an air of arrogance to her occasionally, though she's not that egotistical and self-centered. Roxanna is perhaps more confident and proud than she should be, and perhaps she could be a little bit nicer in times of indifference. But she's not completely negative and mean in every way possible.

She knows respect. She knows it and worships it, much like she worships The Santach. Kingdom rulers, kingdom medics, kingdoms, counts, countesses, the emperor and empress, the empire – they all receive her respect. While it may not seem like it because it is curtained behind her impolite attitude, she would never belittle another kingdom's ruler or medic, at least not in their presence. It's quite possible when she is angry, but it would rarely ever happen. She tries to find the good in everyone, just like she has found the very little good in herself.

Honesty is one of her strongest traits. Honesty isn't always a good thing, but at least you know Roxanna will never lie to you. Whether it be an opinion, something she did – anything – she will not lie. She can be trusted to be honest, though you are forewarned: sometimes she is... Too honest. Brutally truthful. Compliments come seldom, so don't expect a nice opinion when you ask for it.

Speaking of trust, Roxanna finds it near impossible to trust others. She never really trusted anyone in her early days as a mortal, and she has learned it's better off that way. Perhaps one of the only people she trusts, if there are anymore, is Holly Skies, her beloved mystic.

When it comes to battle, she is merciless (though that's no change in her normal personality). She becomes a silhouette of the night, slipping in and out of shadows without a noise. The next thing you'll know, an arrow will be flying into your chest out of nowhere or a dagger will slice your throat before you even get the chance to scream. And with that one last gasping breath, as you frantically look around to see your murderer, she'll be gone.

PROS AND CONS

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Height: 20 ft at the shoulder, 30 ft wingspan
Weight: 15,000 lbs
Physical Build: lean, agile, built for speed & stealth, not strength
Description:
Arkadios is a dark, navy blue dragon. He is the color of midnight. The horns and spikes on his head are a lighter silver-blue color. His wings are barely translucent, and they are the same color as his horns. The spikes running down his back are also that same, silver-blue color. Inside his mouth is an ice-blue color. His eyes are almost blind – they see the darkest gray possible while movement is black. The color of his eyes is a vibrant yellow, and he doesn't have pupils.

Arkadios is averagely muscular. He's not built like a war dragon, for he prefers sneak attacks like any loyal citizen of Acerbus Umbra. He is thin and toned, with a long, sleek tail used for balance and surprise attacks. His face is angular, and many spikes as well as his two horns protrude from it. Inside his jaws is a set of sharp, long teeth and four serpentine fangs. His talon-like claws are sharp like obsidian, and they deal a painful blow. Running down Arkadios' back are very tall spikes, preventing enemies from attacking him by jumping on him. All in all, Arkadios is about twenty feet tall with a wingspan of thirty feet. His tail is as long as his body.


PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Alignment: Lawful evil
Likes: bossing around others, being mean, being in charge, superiority, respect, others fearing him
Dislikes: disrespect, Falkor, arrogance where it is not deserved
Description:
Arkadios is nasty. He expects respect for his position in society and is rude and controlling. The dragon is cold and sarcastic, just like his mistress. He schemes cunning plans and devises crafty tactics. Arkadios is a master strategist. He's very big on revenge, too. Do not do wrong to Arkadios. He will lash back.

He doesn't like ignorance or stupidity at all. If a question with an obvious answer is asked, he will rudely snap at you with the answer of course. Arkadios growls a lot. He's very intelligent, despite his barbarism, and can typically help you when you need it. He will be rough and careless, however. Arkadios is very blunt with his opinions and the truth. He, like his mistress, enjoys being brutally honest. It's not that he enjoys hurting peoples' feelings; he simply likes the reaction when reality hits them like slamming into a brick wall.
