Name: Hero MacRae (or Princess Hero)
Nationality: English
Age: 504 yo (Appears to be 15)
Hair: Long and black
Language: Archaic English
Status: Undead, formerly part of the royal MacRae family at the British-occupied Waerlden castle.
Backstory: Hero’s dad was cursed by a witch to have his firstborn child born with a demon inside of it. That firstborn child was Hero! It wasn’t apparent she was even harboring a demon until she was assassinated one day, forcing her demon half out. It went on a murder spree and killed everyone in Waerlden!
The
ghosts
of her victims won’t let her near civilization, so she hasn’t gone far
from the castle since after her rampage. They’ve explained what’s inside
of Hero before, and being covered in blood, she had no choice but to
believe them and agree not to leave. After all, why would the ghosts of
her subjects and parents lie to her?
Many of the ghosts liked Hero well enough before they died and
understand why she killed them, so they’ll occasionally socialize with
her. They’re only visible to Hero, so they can’t stop anyone from
entering Waerlden.
Having not kept track of time and being unable to age, she thinks that
maybe only 20 years have passed.
Abilities: When Hero falls asleep (or is rendered unconscious), she switches between her human self and her demon self depending on the last one that was awake, with no knowledge of each other. Hero can’t be killed by any injury (except maybe being vaporized), and her demon form has x3 her normal strength. Hero still feels pain, but her demon half doesn’t really care about it. Normal Hero sort of likes pain, though she hasn’t really noticed.
Eye color: Brown, red when possessed
Clothes: A black bodysuit
Personalities: Demon Hero, as you might guess, is an unstoppable instrument of death, and kills everyone in her path. She doesn’t talk at all, instead making grunts or laughing when her prey tries to stop her. If her demon side ever calmed down, it’d mostly just be emotionless and irritable. Regular Hero is much less murderous and cares about the well-being of others to lock herself up in castle Waerlden. She’s nice, brash, a bit immature, and likes making friends with just about anyone. She would have been a great queen, if the demon hadn’t killed her subjects…
Location:
Castle
Waerlden, Scotland
(About the size of Edinburgh castle and filled with terribly inbred
animals! A departure from her former princess duties, Hero’s had to take
care of animals for a while now, taught by the ghost of the farmer that
kept care of them. The animals’ cages have been unusable for decades, so
Waerlden is teeming with roaming animals. As a consequence of that, dead
chickens, pigs, or cows that Hero never took care of can be found
occasionally all around the castle.
Its front gates have been locked for ages, so it’s rare for anyone to try getting inside.)
