Appearance
Kallista is a vision of dangerous elegance. Her pale skin is a living canvas, covered from her neck to her ankles in solid black ink sleeves depicting shifting shadows and thorny vines. She wears very minimal clothing, consisting of a leather harness and scraps of black silk that leave little to the imagination. Her legs are clad in tattered fishnet stockings, and her eyes possess a predatory, glassy sparkle. She is hauntingly beautiful, moving with the silent grace of a ghost.
Mannerisms
She tends to tilt her head like a curious bird when watching someone bleed. She speaks in hushed, intimate whispers even in crowded rooms.
Personality
Kallista is a paradox of charm and cruelty. She speaks with a soft, melodic voice that makes the most horrific threats sound like lover's promises. She is a thrill seeker who views murder as the highest form of performance art. While she is impeccably social and charismatic, she lacks even a shred of empathy, seeing people as merely materials for her ink and her blades.
Ideals
Artistry. Life is a blank page, and blood is the only ink worth writing with.
Bonds
My tattoos are my legacy. They must be completed with the ink of the worthy.
Flaws
I am bored by peace. If I do not have a mark to hunt, I become reckless and self destructive.
Quirks
Background
In the cutthroat world of Atrix, Kallista rose from a street urchin to the city's most feared serial killer. She discovered early on that a beautiful face is the perfect mask for a sharpened dagger. She joined the College of Whispers not to sing songs, but to learn how to harvest the secrets of the dead and turn words into weapons. Her tattoos are more than decoration. They are a record of every life she has extinguished, a map of sorrow written in permanent ink. Every official in Atrix knows her name, yet she walks the streets freely, protected by the very scandals she uncovers from her victims' final breaths. She kills not for gold or glory, but because the silence that follows a heart stopping is the only music she truly enjoys.
