Persona
Name: Desdemona Nix
Alias: Nix, Des, or Mona
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Birthdate: 01/06
Sexuality: Bisexual
Special Characteristics: Being a bit of a masochist, Nix has several cuts along her arms from razors and other sharp instruments The majority of the cuts are hidden beneath her various intricate tattoos. On her back are numerous lash marks from chained whips. Extending horizontally across her stomach is a poorly stitched gash, having purposely been done as such so it would leave a visible scar.
Personality: Nix is a budding masochist. She enjoys pain....alot. So much so that she often takes part in various acts of minor self mutilation, such as burning or cutting herself. The feeling of pain has a euphoric effect on her, often sending her into a pain-driven lust. This sexual state of mind usually lasts until she has had her fill of pain or....alternate activities, whichever comes first. Nix' appetite for either is incredibly hard to fill, and as such, it often takes days if not weeks for her to return to a somewhat normal state of mind. Unfortunately during that time, towns are usually driven into martial law if not altogether evacuated or destroyed.
Nix is also unbelievably sadistic. According to her, she cannot function properly in a day without causing some time of harm to someone around her. It doesn't matter whether she knows them or not, if they are within her reach....they usually won't walk away without some kind of injury. Her favorite pastime is implementing various methods of torture on any victim she can get her hands on. Her usual victims are lonely men or women she has managed to seduce into joining her at home, although she is not against attempting to break up a happy home...said happy home ultimately requiring years of psychological therapy after a run in with her. While out during her day, she resorts to using her magic to inflict pain on people, often dropping the temperature of her body or lips to below zero then touching or kissing someone. The end result is often severe frostbite and hypothermia, which Nix enjoys seeing greatly.
Despite having a sadistic streak a mile long, Nix is also a huge flirt. Whether it be through a certain look or full on physical contact, the act of flirting greatly amuses Nix. Nix is a fairly sexual person, and as such, she will attempt to seduce anyone who catches her eye. Both men and women fall prey to her wiles, to the point where they will often flat out offer to be her slave for a chance to go to bed with her. Nix will often entertain their request to become her slave, but will rarely allow them the opportunity of her....company, reserving that right only for those who she believes has earned it....which usually consists of inflicting great amounts of pain on her to the point where she is ready to beg for mercy. But because she has such a high tolerance for pain, it rarely happens. She is not against flirting during a fight either, using her seductiveness to attempt to distract her opponent. This ploy is successful a great deal of the time, though, to her displeasure, there are some people who are unaffected.
Oddly, Nix has shown to have a deep sense of camaraderie and respect towards those who have earned it. If they are worthy of it, she will go through hell and high water to protect their integrity. This is especially true for her guildmates, whom she has come to respect and love as a second family. It usually doesn't end well for someone who is foolish enough to disrespect her guild in front of her.
Likes:- Suffering- Because Nix is a sadist, she revels in the suffering of others. If she is having a bad day, she will often cause someone around her pain to instantly put her in a better mood.
- Self-mutilation- Nix has masochistic tendencies. She is a firm believer in the "pain is pleasure" mantra, usually inflicting injury on herself to change her mood....or put her in the mood, in some cases.
- Sabertooth Guild- Nix thinks of the members of Sabertooth like her extended family, going to great lengths to show her dedication to the guild.
- Tattoos- As an extention to her love of pain, Nix has several tattoos. The majority of them are visible on her arms and torso, while some are hidden by clothing.
- Piercings- Nix has several piercing on her body. Many of them are visible, such as her lip, tongue (when she speaks), ears, and bellybutton. The others...well, there has to be something left to the imagination, right?
- Torture- Once again, due to her belief in sadism, she enjoys torturing people to the point of passing out. She very rarely will continue to the point of death, as that would reduce the amount of future enjoyment she could have with the victim.
Dislikes: - Disrespect towards Sabertooth- Because of her great loyalty and love for her guild, Nix has little to no tolerance for any type of disrespect shown to it. Doing so would result in being subjected to her full wrath and ultimately a slow and torturous death.
- People with low tolerance for pain- Since Nix enjoys both dishing out and receiving pain, she finds those who are unable to do so as well highly annoying. If she believes a person weak, she will often disregard their entire existence until they have proven otherwise.
- Her parents- Because they could not accept the new person she had become and instead disowned her, Nix has developed a deep loathing for her parents.
- Overly heroic people- More specifically, Nix hates people who put on a heroic act in order to gain favor with people. She believes if you have to go to such lengths for acceptance, you have no real reason to exist in the first place.
- Disrespect towards herself- Nix has a low tolerance for any disrespect towards her. Even though she believes others have to earn her respect, she thinks that they should automatically respect her regardless.
- Oppression- Nix is incredibly free-spirited. As such, she hates any type of obligation. She believes that she should be able to take care of things at her own pace, whether there is a pressing need for it to be done or not.
- Structure and Order- Nix enjoys wreaking havoc and chaos wherever she goes. As a result, she has a strong disdain for any type of structure or order in things. If it were up to her, she would ensure total chaos worldwide. But such as it's not, she is content with chaos in her immediate area.
Motivations: - Nix has a natural penchant for causing chaos and suffering. As such, her main motivation is to see as many people suffer as she can.
- Nix is deadset on leaving as much chaos as possible wherever she goes, to the point where she will actually plan out how she can effectively "set fire to the establishment."
- Nix has an insatiable sexual appetite. Due to this, wherever she goes she will pick out men and women who she thinks will be able to satisfy her.
Fears:- Nix' only real fear is becoming desensitized to pain, whether it be self-inflicted or received from an external source.
- Another, albeit less extreme, fear of hers is not being able to find a person suitable enough to actually accept the way she is. She has some patience in regards to this...though she is still open to the idea.
- Nix is constantly on the prowl for victims to sate her sadistic ways. Deep down, she has a small fear that she will not be able to and therefore succumb to boredom.
- Strangely enough, and perhaps a bit ironically, she is scared of tigers. This fear is a bit odd, being that she is in the Sabertooth guild. Even still, she has an almost paralyzing fear of them....not the pain they could cause her, just the fact that they are large, formidable beasts.
- Nix is also comically fearful of overly kind people. A little kindness she can handle, but when someone is way too nice and cheerful with her....it unnerves her to the point where she will go out of her way to avoid them.
General Appearance

Eyes: Nix' eyes are actually two-toned. The irises themselves are a deep scarlet, while the outer ring around said irises is a sunset orange.
Skin Tone: Slightly tanned
Appearance: Nix is an incredibly attractive woman, to the point where a single look from her is enough to entice those around her. She has a curvaceous yet toned build, often wearing tight or revealing clothes to show it off. Her eyes have a half opened, dreamy look to them, giving her a sultry look. This coupled with the small grin she always seems to have makes for an incredibly seductive expression. She usually wears her hair straightened and flowing down her back, using a headband so separate her bangs. She can usually be seen wearing thigh-high high-heeled boots over fishnet stockings, an enticingly short hip-hugging skirt, a form fitting v-neck cut off that shows off her stomach as well as a provocative amount of her cleavage. This outfit is accentuated by the studded choker she wears around her neck as well as the sleeveless overcoat. As far as make up goes, she usually wears pale blue eye shadow and lipstick. She also likes to wear dark colored nail polish, mostly either dark blue or black.
Guild

Rank: D
Magic
Primary Magic: Ice Godslayer Magic
Secondary Magic: None currently
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Being a Lost Magic, Godslayer magic is one of the most powerful magics in existence. Thought to have been obliterated long ago, the very use of it is considered extremely taboo. Ice Godslayer magic, in particular, is believed to be strengthened by the wielder's own impure and harsh thoughts. Because of her personality and sadistic nature, Nix has turned this already formidable magic into something far more deadly.
Strengths: Being a Lost Magic, Ice Godslayer magic is quite possibly the strongest form of ice magic in existence. Being able to wield it gives Nix a near immunity to other conventional water and ice magic, though she still takes some damage from it. Dragon Slayer Ice and Water magic is slightly more effective, though not by much. Unlike with Dragon Slayer magic, Nix is capable of eating her own ice to strengthen herself, though she will rarely do so except as a last resort. Earth and Wind magic have very little effect on her, as well, though she still does take some damage from it.
Weaknesses: Although it is a Lost Magic, Nix' Ice Godslayer magic is still susceptible to most forms of Fire and Steel magic. Fire magic, both conventional and Dragon Slayer, are quite effective against her. Although she has yet to encounter another Godslayer, it can be assumed that Fire Godslayer magic could be borderline fatal to her. Steel Dragon Slayer magic, though of a lower grade than Godslayer magic, is still effective against her.
Extra
History: Humble BeginningsNix grew up in surprisingly humble settings. Born Thalia Grayvale, her parents were both in merchant guilds, and she herself had no real interest in the world of mages. Her family was well-liked in their town and everyone looked after little Thalia as if she were the daughter of them all. Nix was also quite adventurous in her younger years, often turning up in strange locations. Her favorite place to frequent was the forest outside of her town. There, she could often be found climbing trees, wading in the streams, or interacting with the local wildlife. This of course worried her parents as well as the other older villagers to no end, but they eventually came to accept it as Nix being a normal curious child.
Tragedy and a New PersonaUnfortunately, this happy childhood would not last forever. At the age of fifteen a few days before her sixteenth birthday, during one of her usual visits to the forest, she witnessed a band of dark mages robbing a merchant guild caravan. The mages would not have been aware of her presence, had she not been curious and moved closer to get a better look. As she crept closer, the rustling of the forest floor alerted the mages to her. The mages threatened to kill her as well, though she seemed to think they were playing a game with her. She took off into the forest, naively challenging them to catch her. However, just as she had gotten a few feet away, one of the mages, a metal manipulator, ensnared her leg with a magically elongated chain. As the mage roughly dragged her back across the forest floor, Nix realized that they were not playing a game with her and had every intention of causing her great harm. She began to panic, crying and screaming for help as the mages laughed evilly. Her screams fell on deaf ears, unfortunately, as the mages proceeded to assault her both physically and magically. Midway through the attack, something inside her changed, she had strangely began to become aroused by the pain she was receiving. An unsettling smile spread across her bloody and bruised face. When the mages felt they had beaten her enough to ensure their secret was safe, they finally noticed the smile on her face. They immediately became unnerved by this, resulting in the metal manipulating mage impaling her to the ground with an elongated metal rod. At the same time she was impaled, a low moan escaped her mouth and she licked her lips. The mages left her there, beaten and bloody. Nix most likely would have bled to death where she lay had it not been for a fisherman coming upon her on his way back home. Nix spent several days bed-ridden and recovering from her injuries. During that time, she began to embrace her newly found fascination with receiving pain. Once she was well enough to freely move around, she made a drastic change in her appearance, dying her now incredibly long hair bone white and straightening it. She also gave herself a few piercings: two in each ear, her lip, and her tongue. To further complete her change, she dropped her birth name and took up the name Desdemona Nix.
Joining the world of MagesTo say the townsfolk were worried about Nix new change in appearance would be an understatement, they were downright scared of it. They began to notice a change in the once cheerful and kind little girl into a mean-spirited and pain obsessed teenager. Her parents attempted to speak with her about it, but each time she would simply blow them off. Catching Nix in the middle of cutting herself and reveling in the pain was the last straw for her parents, they an ultimatum: Cease her out of control behavior or be disowned. Nix was barely phased by it, indifferently opting to leave their home and the village altogether. As her parents watched in dismay, Nix went through with her plan and left the village, never to return or speak with them again. For the next few years, she moved from town to town, taking odd jobs to support herself. She eventually came into the company of a strange old man. He offered to teach her how to use magic in so that she could take on better jobs and receive more money. There was a catch, however, Nix had to live as his servant until his death, which he assured would not be long away. Nix agreed to his terms, and was thereafter taught Ice magic. Nix felt empowered by her new found ability to wield magic, and as such developed a sadistic pleasure in using the magic to inflict as much pain on others as possible. When her mentor noticed Nix' sadistic streak with her magic, he offered to give her better control over it through the use of lacrima. With it, he promised, she would be even more deadly than she currently was. Nix agreed without hesitation and thus prepared for what she assumed would be training to use the magic.When her mentor noticed Nix' sadistic streak with her magic, he offered to give her an even greater form of it: Ice Godslayer magic. With it, he promised, she would be even more deadly than she currently was. Nix agreed without hesitation and thus prepared for what she assumed would be training to use the magic.
The Lustful GodslayerThings were not as cut and dry as she thought, however. as the old man, who now revealed himself to be a disciple to the infamous dark mage Zeref, informed her that the magic could not be trained, but rather had to be implanted into her. He also informed her that it would be quite painful. This appealed to Nix' masochistic side, and she readily agreed to undergo the procedure. The priest proved correct, as the pain was excruciating. Nix, however, remained in a euphoric state during the entire procedure, the pain bringing her an ecstasy she had never before experienced. Once the procedure had been completed, the old man gave her one final task: kill him. Nix was reluctant to do so, and questioned his reasoning for wanting to die. The old man calmly stated that he was bored with the world as it was now and wished to be done with it. Although still curious about his reasoning, Nix complied. With a gentle kiss to the forehead, she drained the heat from his body while flash freezing him. Nix then left the old man to crumble away, returning to her life of jumping from town to town. Eventually, she decided to settle down in Magnolia, where she made a living as a mercenary mage. She also made a reputation for herself as a seductive temptress with an insatiable appetite for pain, torture, and....alternate activities. Word quickly spread that there was a person capable of using the forbidden Godslayer magic. She was eventually approached by the guildmasters of both Fairy Tail and Sabertooth. While Makarov attempted to appeal to her from a friendly and loving point of view, the Sabertooth guildmaster chose a different method. Knowing of her reputation, he challenged her to a duel. If he were to win, she would join Sabertooth. If she won, he would give up his position as guild leader and become her servant. This offer intrigued Nix and she accepted. Despite possessing such formidable magic, Nix was easily beaten by the guildmaster. The pain she received during the fight was so intense that it nearly rivaled that of her Godslayer implantation procedure. On that premise alone, Nix agreed to join Sabertooth. She strangely also developed a sort of twisted crush on the guildmaster, believing that the pain she received was a declaration of love. Her joining the guild came with an addendum, however: If she were to join, she would be free to pursue her love of torture, chaos, and....alternate activities as she saw fit, without retribution. The guildmaster agreed and Nix officially became the proclaimed "Ice Queen" of Sabertooth.
Rp Sample:A swift shape moves through the trees and along the ground. The setting is a midsummer forest nestled between an expansive valley and a looming, snow-capped mountain range. The shape becomes visible as it emerges from the forest and darts through the valley, revealing it to be a large fox having silver and crystal blue fur as well as several tails. The fox fades from view again as it increases its speed and once again vanishes into the forest. The fox continues through the forest until it reaches a small village. The inhabitants show little surprise to the fox, some actually greeting it as they would a person.
"Hiro, what's the hurry?" A man calls as the fox runs past. The fox doesn't respond, continuing towards a larger house. It stops and starts to stand upright, taking on the form of a human. When he has fully changed, the man walks to the door. By appearance, he looks to be in his early to mid 30s, but his mannerisms and attitude suggest he is much, much older. A steel gauntlet covers his left arm, the fingers ending in sharp claws. His eyes are blood red in color, the pupils vertical like a cat's. He is wearing light leg armor over middle class pants, his chest bare except for an old scar. He opens the door and walks into the room. A woman lay on the couch, breathing steadily with her hands laced together gently over her stomach: she is in labor.
"Saiyah." Hiro says quietly as he kneels next to her. She opens her eyes and looks at him, smiling warmly. She is in her early to mid 30s, possessing the beauty of a goddess yet not the vanity as well. Her eyes are a soothing teal green, wide and beautiful. She grabs hold of Hiro's hand and places it lightly on her stomach.
"I feel...that the time...has come, my love." she says, her voice delicate and lovely. Hiro nods then stands up and walks to the door. He climbs onto the roof, changing back into his fox form as he climbs. He assumes his fox form completely and lets out an echoing call, getting the entire village's attention. An elderly woman, most likely the village doctor, walks hurriedly to the house and through the door. Hiro jumps down from the roof and enters the house. He returns to his human form just as the elderly woman gets herself situated.
"Lady Seung Yi...is there anything you need? Is there any way I can assist you?" Hiro asks. The elderly woman chuckles lightly then shakes her head.
"No, Hiro, there is no need for your help right now. But should I have need for your aid, I will call you." she says then turns to Saiyah. Hiro hesitates then looks at Saiyah. She smiles warmly and lightly takes hold of Hiro's armored hand, causing him to gently close his hand around hers.
"Your concern is...appreciated, but..." she winces and tightens her grip. She breathes deeply several times before loosening her grip and breathing regularly. "...unnecessary. I will be fine, worry not...my love." she assures then smiles again, releasing his hand. Hiro kneels down and kisses her gently on the forehead then once again leaves the house, grabbing hold of a sword as he leaves. Hiro ties the sword to his waist and walks to a small clearing behind the house. He walks to the center of the clearing then holds up his armored hand. Black symbols begin to slowly etch their way into his gauntlet from his shoulder down to his hand. When the symbols reach his hand, an orb of black fire scorches from his palm. Hiro balls up his fist then slams it to the ground, sending lines of black fire snaking throughout the clearing. The lines stop in random places around the clearing, pooling into rippling puddles of darkness. Hiro stands up and grabs hold of his sword hilt. The puddles begin to bubble then dark creatures begin to rise from the puddles. The shapeless beasts take on the likeness of a man and begin to multiply until there is a small army of them surrounding Hiro. He tightens his grip on his sword.
"Death...Cyclone!" he says fiercely as he quickly unsheathes and slashes it outward, sending a slashing funnel of wind ripping through the beasts and destroying them. He resheathes his sword then takes a knee and bows his head. The wind begins to rustle through the trees, carrying a faint whispering voice with it.
"I ask that you not pass this burden to my child, it is not a life I wish for them to live." Hiro says in a slightly pleading voice.
"You knew the terms of our agreement before this day, do not think that now you can change it." the voice echoes quietly.
"You would have my child do your bidding from the womb?" Hiro questions as he raises his head.
"Are you willing to forfeit your own life in return for your child's?" the voice responds. Hiro hesitates then lowers his head again.
"As I have said, it is not a burden which I would wish upon my child. If I must sacrifice my own life so that my child may have some resemblance of a normal life, then so be it." Hiro replies solemnly. There is a brief silence and the wind stops. The wind picks up again and the voice speaks.
"Very well, your resolve has swayed me. The Death Whisperer curse will end with this child, your next will not be afflicted." the voice responds.
"And the immortality and power?" Hiro asks.
"You wish not for your child to bear the curse, yet you wish for them to gain its benefits?" the voice asks.
"That...is correct." Hiro nods.
"Then I shall not remove the curse. Rather, it will change with each child afflicted. This child, your first of two, will be forced to walk both planes of existence: the living and the dead. Your second child will be forced to feed upon the souls of their victims to sustain their power." the voice says.
"Those terms are steep...but so be it. I agree to your terms, Great One." Hiro says then stands up.
"Be vigilant, for I will need your services soon, Hiro..." the voice echoes, his name carrying in the wind. Hiro looks down at his armored hand.
"Hiro!" An elderly voice exclaims. He turns quickly and sees Lady Seung Yi standing at the edge of the clearing, a look of fear in her eyes.
"Lady Seung Yi, what troubles you? Is Saiyah alright?" Hiro asks.
"Saiyah is fine, she has given you a son. However...a dark omen casts its shadow over him, you must come quickly!" Lady Seung Yi urges. Hiro nods and follows her back into the house. Saiyah lay on the couch holding a small, blanket-wrapped baby. Hiro hears the whispering voice again then a wispy dark cloud trails through the air above the baby before disappearing into the baby's nose and mouth. Hiro narrows his eyes intently, still looking at his newborn son. Saiyah opens her eyes and looks at him.
"Hiro, there you are." she smiles then gestures for him to come closer. "Come, have a look at your son." she says. Hiro kneels down next to her and looks at the baby. A small wisp of dark mist rises from his mouth and fades then a glowing symbol flashes briefly on his forehead. The symbol fades and the baby opens his eyes abruptly. He looks at them curiously, staring at them observantly. Saiyah smiles and places her hand lightly on the side of the baby's face. "Such a handsome boy...he favors you greatly, Hiro." She says quietly. Hiro continues to stare intently at the baby, the baby returning his gaze. Hiro once again hears the whispering voice before the baby's eye color turn light orange and the pupils change vertical.
"He does..." Hiro says distantly.
"So what shall we name our child? I was thinking perhaps..."
"Daimos...we will name him Daimos." Hiro interrupts, still staring at the baby. Saiyah gives him a slightly worried look but it is quickly replaced by a warm smile.
"A fine name, I believe he will be a great warrior...just like his father." She says then looks down at the baby again. She leans down and lightly kisses him on the forehead. "Welcome to the family, little one." She whispers.
