Faction: Independent Occupation: Trapped Being, Slayer Combat-style: Blade Manipulation/Hemomancy - High destructive/agility Height: If possessing a desert hound, 7'0" (213 cm). In her proper Darkin form before imprisonment, 19'3" (587 cm). If possessing another being, she will adapt her height and size to the host's. Hair Color: Snow-White with faint greyish highlights. Appearance: Naafiri's appearance changes drastically depending on the body she is inhabiting. In her proper Darkin body, before imprisonment, she is an extremely tall Darkin woman with a lithe and muscular frame. Her Darkin body is a corrupted and twisted version of her former Ascended body, where her armor, garbs and once animal-like features melded together by the constant usage of Hemomancy, her skin is pale grey with with bits of dark dusty blue armor around her chest, legs, arms and the back of her hands that roughened in a rock-like texture and an extension of her body, a high-collared silk cloak that drapes around her upper chest and blade-like protrusions that fans up around her shoulders. Reddish patches of skin around her eyes with steel-like edges, mimicking eyebrows, with red palms and spots of red around her waist and stomach. She has snow-white hair with greyish highlights with a tuft of hair braided with a gold ornament and a hanging golden earring in the shape of long icicle. Her eyes and sclerae are bathed in a orangish yellow color. Lore: Born during the Golden Age of the Shuriman empire in Shurima in a small family to a modest family. When reaching adulthood, Naafiri joined the Shuriman military. Her mastery of the dagger, be it held or thrown, her agility and litheness, and devotion to the emperor made her rise through the ranks. This lead to her being chosen for ascension, ascending her to a God-Warrior. After the Emperor's death and sudden infighting of the many God-Warriors, discovery of Hemomancy and the subsequent usage of the magic, morphed her into a Darkin. The Darkin and their pride were their folly during the Darkin War, where the Aspects and mortals united to defeat them by sealing the Darkin in their weapons. Naafiri was trapped in her daggers and brought in a hidden underground crypt for a few millennia, waiting for her eventual release. Combat: Due to her extended usage of hemomancy and corruption of her Ascended form, Naafiri in her prime was a ruthless and dreadful warrior that channels her celestial and blood magic. She wields a deep crimson dagger with silver edges, a pommel and a hanging chain from the handle. Naafiri uses hemomancy to accentuate his celestial abilities, allowing her to achieve immense speed, strength and evasiveness. Due to her proficiency with daggers and thrown blades, she will use to slash through her target and hurl precise blades. Naafiri can use blood to shape and enhance her body for various means. Note: Naafiri speaks in a deep and echoing tone. Naafiri see herself and her fellow Darkin as the rightful beings to rule and subjugate all of Runeterra, seeing mortals beings as lesser than Darkin. Because of her good standing in reputation within the old Shuriman Empire, her pride and ego grew, her ascension only exasperated those feelings. During the Icathian uprising, she was in the frontlines against the encroaching Voidborn invading the physical realm. Seeing her brothers and sisters getting fell shattered that perception of invulnerability and troubled her deeply. Naafiri is ruthless and a bit vain. When Naafiri is bound to her dagger, she can open one emerald eye on the surface of her crimson blade. Because Naafiri was locked in the crypt for so long, she will be unfamiliar with the outside world, the new kingdoms and empires, etc. IMPORTANT: If a sentient makes contact with her possessed dagger, she will try to overpower their mind and take control of them, a feat ONLY a few powerful and mentally resilient beings can halt her hijack. If Naafiri possess a host, he will have access to the vessel's knowledge, memories, etc. and slowly morph the vessel to rearrange and reflect her former glorious body. The more control Naafiri has on her host, the more of her dark dusty blue armor will grow on their body. If Naafiri possess a pack of Dune Hounds, she will split her consciousness across the pack of hounds and control them as one, rejecting the notion of individualism for that of collectivism and therefore referring herself as 'We' instead of 'I'. The alpha of the pack will be her main vessel, having a dark dusty blue, red and white color scheme with the knives protrusions around its neck. The other hounds will be much smaller, their skins a bright red with a sharp blade protruding their heads. They will hunt, act and talk in a pack. Naafiri hunts and feed on the blood of her prey to keep her form from decomposing and strengthening her hemomancy.
