I'd like to get in on this using a character i've used before and have been itching to use again.
Name: Serenata Wildfire
Personality: For a villain she is very sweet, gentle, and sometimes too kind. Her heart rips in two whenever she must take a life but deems it a necessary sacrifice if her interpretation of justice is to be achieved. Whenever someone looks on her, they are almost always rewarded with a warm smile. Yet touchy, keeps to herself, and rarely sees it appropriate to bring up her mysterious past.
Power: Serenatas' power is solely based on sound and her only weapon is a handcrafted skeleton violin. She has the ability to manipulate the sounds by the notes she plays on her violin to have diverse effects on the human body but mostly in the inner organs of the ear. Her signature technique is her song "lost in dreams". This illusionary technique is more like a spell, it affects a persons sensory and traps them in an illusion to slowly erode their minds to mush. It is very painful and the agony seems endless for her victims, despite it's horror, it is her most beautiful song.
The songs "Slither" and "sleeping with serpents" are two songs in junction. "slither" is part A of the song and "sleeping with serpents" is part B. A must come first because it is a summoning spell that summons snakes of various kinds ranging in sizes of a few inches to a few hundred feet. Part B is a continuous song that manipulates and controls the summoned serpents.
"heart of glass" is a song used to inflict deep sorrow or dread on an enemy. Originally it was written by a blind woman who weeped for her deceased child whose face she never knew. Serenata has taken this and made it into a terrible ballad to demoralize even the hardest veterans.
"Escape to fantasia" a song cherished by her allies and those she would play it for. This is a hypnosis that influences emotions and endocrine glands. The person hearing the song is taken away to a nature setting of that persons choosing, like perhaps they imagine their in a forest, by the ocean, or wherever their souls are at ease. While their mind is soothed their body releases hormones to begin rapidly regrowing their cells for rapid healing.
"Sting" this song has a part A and part B as well. It sounds demonic, and her strings make more of a screeching sound like fingernails on a chalk board. It targets inner organs of the ear that regulate balance and coordination. Symptoms experienced by victims are nausea, loss of balance, dizziness, and light headedness. Part B of the song influences the amygdala gland to inflict the sensation of fear, stress, and even helplessness.
"Love in war" is manipulative of emotions as well and causes secretion of hormone glands like sting but for the opposite effect. It causes her to appear to them in more positive ways. It can be used to befriend them, cause fascination with her, or even be seductive. It manipulates their will to be bent towards her agendas.
Weaknesses: her songs arn't garantee to work 100% all the time every time. Whenever she lifts her instrument to her chin she is taking a gamble. 25% of the time someone in the audience will not be moved by songs that manipulate emotion, because they only influence how that person feels, they don't actualy take control of their mind and brainwash them so their free will remains intact. Illusions made by her most beautiful song, can be broken if her song is interrupted, the person feels a great deal of pain that isn't inflicted by her(either self inflicted or inflicted by someone else.) or if they are dipped or dumped into some very cold water to wake them up.
A real genius who knows about her techniques could easily avoid being affected by them simply by wearing earplugs.
She is not a physical fighter at all, her constitution is fragile, and even throws a fit when her hair gets spit ends.
Serpent songs take a few minutes to do and leave her open to counter. Moat all songs take immediate effect over a wide and long range as it is sound that is her weapon but her illusions and manipulations have adverse effects as said before, only work on the hearing, and cannot be interrupted or the effects are canceled. Only if a song is 100% completed will it have lasting effects.
Extra: why is Serenata a villain if her heart is so pure? Because she believes that the world was once beautiful and flowed with a perfect harmony, but corrupt beurocrats, a cracked system of justice, and selfish immoral represenatives have flooded her home and enslaved those who would be audience to those pure of heart. But at the same time she is a self centered diva determined to enslave the world to her music.
Evil theme song:(may not seem that evil.) Shadows by Lindsey Sterling.
