DualMegamiCharacters/SerasWinterblood
Name: Seras Winterblood
Caste: Zenith
Game: Crowned with the Sun run by LeSquide
Nature: Leader (was Bravo, but she's undergone quite a few changes)
Anima: A snarling, lone wolf in Halogen-blue.
Physical Appearance: Seras Winterblood is a tall, typically Northern-looking woman standing 6'1," broad across the shoulders and small around the waist. She carries herself in a proud, regal manner (considering her station as ruler of a small city-nation), always dresses nicely and is never unarmed. Despite her refinement, there is a certain amount of roughness in her build leftover from the barbarian in her bloodine. Her hair is silver and kept short, fluffily sitting on top her head. She has bright green mischevious eyes that glitter when she is scheming and glow when she is angry.
A Solar Exalt before the breaking of the Jade prison, the first few years of her Exalted life were difficult--considering she Exalted before a huge crowd, and from there on out was unable to hide the divinity within. For decades she was Wyld Hunted until her palace became her prison. But, as per the direct order of the Unconquered Sun, she survived; there were far greater things to be accomplished than simply surviving. This would not be easy, because before she could ascend to true greatness, there were more hardships to overcome. (To be detailled later when I write up a synopsis of the whole game!)
With her Circlemate, Ordus, a member of the Twilight Caste and former mortal thaumaturge, by her side the two face all odds....and so far have come out on top. Solar Power!
Thought I'd include two small segments from the games that really put the character's personality into perspective.
To set the scene, Seras had a lover (also a prejade prison solar) who died trying to save her. Somewhere between then and now, he gave his shard up to a Deathlord. The result is a sexy female Abyssal by the name of The Widow of One Thousand Weddings. (the "dearie" thing is just how she talks...)
...Seras heaved a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at the Abyssal. "So. Am I going to have to fight off an army of Zombies every time I sleep with you?"
The Widow sighed deeply, though she was not entirely surprised by the statement. She didn't look back at her lover and continued the descent down the stairs. "Probably, dearie."
Seras nodded and, after giving it a moment's thought, replied, "We're going to have to do something about that."
This time, The Widow looked the Solar in the eye, pausing to make sure she had her attention. "You could just not sleep with me, dearie."
Seras snorted. "Now why would I want to do that?!"
Later, after forcing the Realm out of Rubylak, she took 5 DragonBloods as prisoners of war and used her incredible Charisma + Presence to get three of them to serve her willingly.
"...since Mnemon decided she was going to live forever." Tepet Melidos finished with a definitive nod of his head.
"Wait," Seras replied, suddenly looking interested, "Decidedto live forever, or actually did?"
"Decided," The Air Aspect responded.
"Ah." Seras pondered this for a second or two. "Well, so have I."
Melidos seemed momentarily amused...or bothered. "The similarties between you two are distressingly similar. If you've ever sacrificed your lovers for astrological purposes, I'd say downright identical."
The Solar looked postively aghast at the idea. "Absolutely not!</b> Lovers are for loving!"
