So the first-person schizz is new. You realise what you're letting yourself in for, right? Naguya doesn't like templates, so go with the flow a bit here. ^_~
Abilities:
So I only have four of these, but I've practiced them to perfection. They are, alphabetically listed; Giver of Death, Hellfire, Necrokinesis and Soul Reaper.
Fighting Style:
None. This is one of those Human things that, quite frankly, are below me.
Magic-Conjuring Medium:
None. This is one of those Wizard things that, quite frankly, are below me.
Weapon:
Now this section is more like it! I have a long, thin knife and a revolver, but I can - and do - fight with anything else I can use to hurt people with.
Naguya was raised by one of the cruellest demon families around and as such has become like that herself. As a child, warmth and compassion were denied to her and she became very bitter and cynical from a young age. The demonic powers that she found herself able to use only served to make her more powerful and a better killing machine. She spent her youth training to fight and kill and is now an assassin, earning her living through blood money. She has come to be feared by many in Haven because of her reputation as the guiltless Assassin who can get any job done. Her first victims were the family she grew up among, not because she disliked them any more than anyone else, but because she thought it would help her become a stronger assassin and enemy of justice. She sees other life forms as a burden to her and avoids making friendships or commitments at any cost. There is no place for fellowship in her cold and twisted world.

Just so we're straight on this from the outset, Naguya's profile sounds like she's the perfect character of her league, but that's only because it's being written from her point of view. The way she writes it ought to be a pointer on a few of her faults.[/font]
[/ul]Strengths:{Times are tough in our City...}
Hi my name is Jess and I’m a <guess the number> year old female. I have been rping for a year and a few months now and find that I’m addicted. I found this forum via Mia and I think it is a worthwhile consumer of my time, a fun place to RP and a forum with a lot of potential and a bunch of great members already. But enough about me, let me introduce you to my character…{But we'll still accept you with open arms...}
My name is Naguya de Morte (pron. nah-goo-yah deh mort) and don’t you forget it. I’m a 25 year old female and I enjoy a good (how am I supposed to answer this honestly and keep it clean?) lot of trouble, death, general misery on the part of other people - you could say I feed on it, but I'm not big on being called parasitic, shockingly - and pleasure, for want of a better word, from time to time. Hanging out with me is like trying to balance the blade of a knife on the tip of your tongue - painful and highly unpleasant, but remember I’m a Demon so we may not get along. But not to worry we may just be on the same side, bad is what I am (or at least, that's what I'm referred to as, but people don't see the world through my eyes, so they're wrong if I say they are), so can we befriends(oh please, as if - try mortal enemies, they make the day more eventful)?
Appearance:
Well, I don't like to really boast but if I must describe myself I look like this:
Okay, so I've given you pictures, but I grant you might not be the brightest bulb in the box, so I'll put it in plain and simple english for you. I'm more to look at than most of the rest of you and you know it, so don't deny me the luxury of being told so. My hair is several shades of brown, blended in such a way that my head seems to glisten in the light. My eyes are a sort of pale jade-greenish-grey shade - too pale for most people's liking, which makes it easy for me to scare them. In my eyes, I have the perfect face, but the jealous wretches among you won't credit me that. My skin is so pale I can pass for dead, which is a useful skill to have at times, and very befitting of the demon in me. I'm tall enough to look down at most of you and I've got a good enough figure to show it off in front of all of you, so I begrudge unnecessary clothes, because they're just that. Still, you won't catch me going around the city in my birthday suit: black really suits me and I make the most of that. I like jewellery, but only silver; it suits me so much better than any other colour and it goes nicely with my eyes.

Personality:
I can't say I get along with everyone and I can't say I'm perfect but I am who I am and this is me.
Most people call me evil, but I call them narrow-minded and biased. It's true, I delight in the pain of others, but deep down more of us do than admit to it, no? Most people are too tame and self-conscious - you don't have that worry with me, I assure you. I may not be anyone's favourite person but I have qualities that people admire: I'm brutally honest unless you're one of the very few people I deem worthy of my respect, in which case you'll hear a more flattering kind of honesty. I make the rules and I come first - that's how it's always been and a tigress never changes her stripes. I don't go in for the whole friends business - why burden myself with unnecessary and pathetic life forms when I could be free of any responsibility? - and I don't like to form any attachments unless these work to my immediate advantage: killing is easier and more pleasurable than even making the effort. I enjoy being a figure of mystery and I don't like having to make things public - where's the fun in life without guilty pleasures and deep, dark secrets?
Occupation:
- I am stronger than the average Human. You can imagine, this is pretty helpful to me when it comes to fighting and doing my job.
- I can be astoundingly fast when I need to be. You won't escape, I promise.
- I am both sharp and clever, especially by Demon standards (I'm not exactly proud of the average intellect of my race, but the lesser beings are needed to show such greats as myself for what we are), and it doesn't take me long to catch on. You can figure that tricking me isn't going to work. I don't take the bait if I can take a life instead.
- I am, by all standards, an excellent fighter. I don't lose. Period.
- I can see in complete darkness. Yep, you guessed it - that means I can see you even when you can't see me. Scared much?
- So, to think of something mildly construable as criticism, I'm told I have too much faith in my own abilities (well, they never have let me down), which can lead to me 'underestimating my opponents' - that means I get a scratch or two in the process of killing my opponent and winning the fight.
[[Naguya's overestimation of herself has gotten her into her share of trouble in the past, but she still refuses to accept that any can beat her. Several of her fights have left her worse off than her opponent, but she never allows herself to admit it.]] - I suppose you could use my lack of tolerance and patience as a weakness, if you're looking to put me down.
[[Naguya's shorttemperedness can make her seem cold and irritable and often distances her from people.]] - I know there are bigger and better people out there, although I doubt there are many. I'm not saying I'm afraid of them; but there are fights I'd rather avoid, if you follow.
[[She couldn't win all her fights on strength alone; she can actually be quite cowardly when she comes up against a stronger opponent.]] - I don't particularly like daylight. I'm not a Vampire or anything bizarre like that, but I do prefer to roam at night. I have a strong hatred of the sun.
[[Where some people are afraid of the dark, Naguya is afraid of the light, because it makes her easier to see and makes her feel more vulnerable.]] - I guess I don't do so well in the modesty department, but why would I - it would be lying.
[[Naguya thinks more of herself than is often right and views herself as being better than others.]]
