Appearance
Lyssa is a vision of predatory grace, her skin a canvas of solid black ink that forms swirling, obsidian sleeves from her collarbone to her fingertips. Her clothing is aggressively minimal, consisting of jagged leather straps and torn fishnets that barely conceal her frame. She has a wild, unhinged look in her eyes that contrasts sharply with her conventionally attractive, almost doll-like features. A wicked silver dagger is usually spinning in her hand, or held between her teeth.
Mannerisms
She tilts her head at unnatural angles when listening, and she tends to stand far too close to people, invading their personal space while maintaining a hauntingly wide smile.
Personality
Lyssa is a paradox of charm and manic violence. She speaks in a melodic, airy tone that can turn into a guttural growl in a heartbeat. She treats every social interaction like a dance before a slaughter, findind amusement in the terror of others. She is extremely charismatic, able to manipulate others with a wink, even while blood still stains her cheeks. She is genuinely unhinged, often laughing at jokes only she can hear.
Ideals
Art. Death is the only true masterpiece, and I am the most prolific artist in Atrix.
Bonds
My skin. Each tattoo is a sacred memory of a soul I have personally extinguished.
Flaws
I cannot resist a beautiful target, even if killing them would bring the entire city guard down upon my head.
Quirks
Background
In the sprawling, soot-choked city of Atrix, Lyssa Vane is the shadow that even the criminals fear. She began her career as a simple cut-purse, but found that the tactile sensation of a blade meeting flesh provided a rush that gold never could. She doesn't just kill for profit, she treats each murder as a grand performance, an offering to the chaotic silence that follows a heart's final beat. The black ink tattoos covering her body represent the memories of her most 'beautiful' kills, literally wearing the lives of her victims as her second skin. She eventualy found her way into the College of Whispers, not to learn music, but to master the art of destroying someone's mind before finishing their body. Her time in the criminal underworld of Atrix has stripped away any semblance of morality, leaving only a sharp, charismatic predator who thrives on the screams of the elite. To Lyssa, the world is a stage, and she is the final curtain call that everyone eventually faces, dressed in silk and blood-stained fishnets.
