Name:Qara-Gal Yisun-Erlik-Burilgi (Qara),not her real name, but the only one she'll give
Age:21
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight enough, but she's never really explored that part of herself that in-depth.
Parent God: Yabash Han,the god of defeat, son of Erlik of Mongolian origin.
Appearance: Qara has often been mistaken for an overly effeminate boy due to the lack of...overt feminine attributes. Her 5'5", 110 lb. body is almost completely devoid of body fat, leaving Qara with well-defined muscles and a certain unnatural flexibility and grace to her movements that not even she can exactly understand.
She is unmistakably Asian however, Mongolian specifically, and has a certain habit of tapping her fingers together while steepled.
Always wrapped around her arms up to the elbow are bandages topped off at her hands with studded gloves. These bandages are not medical in nature, simply to stabilize her arms in order to better strike. She is somewhat of a rebel, and wears clothing that matches with this archetype. Her shoes are flexible enough to allow her complete mobility, but strong enough to be able to survive the wear and tear she puts them through on a daily basis due to her wandering existence. Jeans and a plain black shirt that hold to her body without too much flapping about, allowing her to move between stances and opponents without giving them much to grab ahold of. It's also quite comfortable for her.
As far as hair is concerned, she wears it very short, the longest of it reaching her chin and framing her face, her only real attempt to dissuade others from thinking she is a guy. She's also dyed it into a multitude of colors, starting from the sides as her natural hair, a dark brown, to a dark white, almost gray due to the fact that she had it done so long ago.
Personality: Rebellious, but calm enough to a point. Unfortunately, although she is not inherently competitive, she is determined when she commits to something, and can oftentimes lead to more than just her winning. She has to utterly defeat her opponents, as it's not enough for her to climb the mountain, she has to have thrown mountains on her competitors and buried them beneath them.
But, for most of the time, she's quite laid back, and thanks to Batu, very rarely more than a few seconds away from being prepared to do whatever is needed. Not particularly jovial or loquacious, she is very determined to complete her personal goal, and incredibly secretive when it comes to her family, as she is ashamed, while also strangely proud, to be a descendent of the first Man.
Power:
Spirit of Defeat, aka Batu: The line of Erlik has forever had their own personal assistants with them since time immemorial, for Qara, her spirit assistant is Batu. As her father is the god of Defeat, she is given certain abilities due to the fact that the spirit is her symbiote, short of Erlik himself ripping Batu out of her body, they are together forever, whether they like it or not.
The Spirit of Defeat gives her greatly enhanced strength,speed, flexibility, and awareness close to those of the most powerful demi-gods ever known to mankind. As a result, she is almost unmatched in combat by many god-offspring alive today. Add onto that that Batu himself can extend a part of himself outside of her body(six feet at most, and unseen by those without divine sight) to trip an opponent, grasp for another handhold to continue climbing, or simply to pick up a piece of paper from the road.
Batu, finally, can take complete control of Qara's body from her should she need it, allowing broken arms and legs to move normally without pain, blindness to recede, deafness to return to hearing. However, all the activities she did while under Batu's direction will accumulate, and once she regains control of her body, pain returns immediately, as well as any extra damage done to them from his excursion. However, she must be completely conscious in order to give up control of her body, she cannot be slipping off into unconsciousness. But what he can do while she sleeps, or is not completely there, is to communicate with her, allowing her to rarely, if ever, get caught off her guard, as Batu is a spirit and needs no sleep, he keeps watch over her, as they are a part of each other and an extension of themselves.
Batu himself is a sarcastic, if sometimes morose, comedian of sorts. As it turns out, he himself is a victim of her grandfather's ego. He refused to give sacrifices to the god in his youth many centuries ago and was snatched from reuniting with the entirety of his family by Erlik after he was stricken with something that caused his insides to rot while he was still alive. Enslaved for countless centuries, he rose through the slave ranks somehow and was given the great "honor" of becoming a spirit assistant.
Minor Attributes:
Adept Martial Artist - While in no way a master or even truly an expert, Qara is well-versed in a variety of them, having taken lessons and competed in tournaments since she could walk, leading to her extreme flexibility and strength, constantly looking for new things to add to her repertoire. Unfortunately, she has never really broken through her mental barrier when it comes to using weapons in her style.
Soul Snatch: As a direct descendent of a god of death and disease Qara is bestowed with the ability to pull the souls of the recently dead from their bodies before they travel to their individual destinations, able to keep them with her so long as she holds them, and temporarily enslave them to do her bidding, causing them to answer questions she wants, or do whatever she wants so long as she holds onto them and an hour has not elapsed.
Mongol Blood: A people famous(or infamous) for their savagery and lethality do not completely pass into the darkness no matter what happens and how much time passes, Qara is simply much closer to the source, and as such, can become a true monster in combat, never giving up, never leaving an enemy with a broken jaw when a snapped neck ends their threat more permanently, and ensuring should a message be able to be sent, that one is all that needs to be received. As a result, she is vicious and the fact that she is who she is makes those that begin to understand this fear her all the more.
History: Qara's mother never exactly explained how she met her father, only that learning that she was with child caused her to flee their Mongolian home to Korea, and growing up was beset by a voice in her head, an invisible friend that assisted her, and berated her when she did wrong. Starting as a child gymnast as a school activity, she branched out to the Korean martial arts, which are among the most versatile in the world, incorporating various styles and stances, and is constantly evolving. It was not until a competition in her late teens that she actually found out about Yabash Han, her father, and his father, Erlik. Having begun it, Batu suddenly warned her to avoid a hit, and she did. Turning on her heel, she saw her mother sitting with a strange old man, obviously heatedly discussing something, before it quite suddenly escalated into the man hitting her, launching her across the room. Qara rushed to her mother's side and lost the man in the crowd that formed around the two, before she was rushed to the hospital. The woman slipped into a coma for the next day and a half, eventually awaking and informing Qara of her father's...family troubles and competitions. Nothing particularly world changing beyond the fact that her grandfather wasn't too happy she wasn't being raised exclusively by her nameless aunts to become another generation of the Black Sisters, though unfortunately for him, he was unable to force her to return with him due to the fact that she was of both divine and overworld heritage, and therefore protected by Ulgan.
Unfortunately for her mother, she was not so protected from his spirit assistants, and became deathly ill weeks after being released from the hospital, and there was no explanation as to how she contracted a rare condition not seen outside of a handful of places in the world, none of which were particularly close to the Far East. They struggled with it for a handful of years before she eventually succumbed to it. She left to travel the world the next day. A burning desire to find a way to kill a god has driven her ever since, keeping her moving from place to place, fighting in underground clubs to improve her own abilities, browsing the occult bookshops of the world, meeting the occasional god-child, learning at least the basics of countless languages of the world, and discovering exactly what is required to enact her fury on Erlik. The fact that Dionysus was loose on the world and enacting some plan, as well as a group attempting to stop him interested her, as how many ways were there to stop a god? And if she found out the way in which to kill a god of another pantheon, perhaps she could work on that to find a way to kill her grandfather, Erlik.
