Red Demon hails from the volcanic peaks of the Farreach at the northern end of Abalathia's Spine and descends from warriors. A strong, proud, and boisterous woman, she was trained in the way of the warrior and left home to enter the mercenary tradition of her people. Because of her impressive career on the bloodsands and success as an adventurer, she rose to local fame and, following its re-establishment, joined the Immortal Flames.

Appearance

"I'll do it, if you're willing to pay me." —Red Demon

Red Demon hails from the volcanic Farreach of Abalathia's Spine.

Standing at a massive at seven-fulms-four-ilms tall and weighing about 250 ponze, Red Demon is a monster of a woman. Typical to her race, Red's entire body—arms, legs, even her neck—are thick with muscle and sinew and her limbs are as mighty tree trunks. Years of battle have left the statuesque forty-four year old Hellsguard's reddish-brown skin rippling with chiseled musculature, yet very few scars mark her flesh.

Usually seen with a confident smirk spread across her angular face, Red's eyes are a deep shade of crimson that matches her usual shade of lipstick and the small ruby on her forehead. Like most Roegadyn, her nose is wide and flat, but relatively small. A smattering of black ash coats the tip, as is custom to her clan. Dark makeup lines her eyes, and long scar is drawn down her left eye. Surprisingly, she is very particular about her appearance and, while she doesn't use a great deal of makeup, she never fails to put it on before going outside and considers herself very attractive.

A head of thick, hard, wavy, jet black hair covers Red's head, typically slicked back to fall against the nape of her neck. On rare occasion, her hair will become disheveled and loosen to drape her wide shoulders. She often decorates her hair with a crimson dye, streaking her ebon locks with a blood red to match her name. The other parts of her body are typically shaved, as she tends to show off her arms and model in swimsuits, preferring not to be seen with any unsightly hairs.

Years of hefting her family's Bravura have left her hands calloused and tough. She keeps her fingernails short and free of decoration, but always seems to file them in such a way that they match unless she happens to break one. It's not unusual for her face to be slightly darker than the rest of her body, as her armor doesn't cover the front of her face below her nose.

When she speaks, Red is prone to being proud and boisterous in her deep contralto. She has a frank manner of speech and isn't the type to use overly complicated words to get her point across. Despite her brevity, she's quite fluent in the common tongue—both in reading and writing—and shows both intelligence and wit under her bluster.

Most often, Red's attire includes a black, leather longcoat with gold trim worn over a black bra and red sash. She keeps her sleeves rolled up and has a golden amulet around her neck with a small ruby set in it. A large pair of white sarouel pants covers her legs, gold leaf patterns embroidered on the right leg. The pair of gold-trimmed, black gloves she wears matches her boots. Save for the coat, her outfit is largely of Near Eastern design.

Red is sometimes seen in a small, black leather top fastened with laces at its back and a silver strap at its front. Overall, the top covers little more than her buxom chest, and still manages to have a hole to show off her cleavage. There's a smaller strap over the cleavage window that she prefers to keep fairly loose. Clearly, she's not shy about being seen.

Her leggings, on the other hand, cover everything. Jet black to match her top, they're fastened by two belts and have a loose, baggy style. She sometimes wears tight, leather pants instead. Her boots are short and black with three zippers each, but she's been known to wear the more typical Roegadyn-crafted leather sandal. A pair of black, leather gloves cover her hands.

The armor Red wears is a traditional warrior's garb—Fighter's Armor. The garb is ensorcelled to bring her inner beast closer to the surface. This armor was forged specifically for her, unlike her axe, in the forges of her home in the northern reaches of Abalathia's Spine. The plates of the armor are made of sturdy darksteel and wolfram with sturdy hippogryph and saurian leather padding and trimmings made of vanya silk and cashmere.

Not only is the armor sturdy and intimidating, it's functional. The snarling furor with which Red fights is testament to its worth. While Red's body is largely unscarred, the armor cannot say the same. While by no means in a state of disrepair, it's clear where blades have tried—and failed—to pierce or sunder her plates. Most of these markings are found on the wide armguard attached to the left gauntlet, which Red has used to great effect in mitigating opponents' blows.

Of particular note is her Bravura. While custom dictates that these axes be beaten down and destroyed when their wielders abandon the life of a warrior, Red's family has never had need to do so. This is because not a single member of her family willingly left behind the life of a warrior, many dying on the battlefield or passing the axe to another of their bloodline. Forged in the mountain hearths of Abalathia's Spine, this black axe was forged of metal from an ancient meteor and the secrets of its forging are largely lost in the modern age.

Intelligence Despite lacking a formal education, the education that Red received among her tribe in Abalathia was actually rather good. For the purposes of entering the mercenary trade, she learned to read and write in the common tongue before learning any of the ancient Roegadyn language. While Red is largely a kinesthetic learner, she can also easily apply knowledge from reading. Red is also quite good at mathematics, which is beneficial to her business.

Quirks Red tends to assume anyone she meets has already heard of her and occasionally brushes people off as fans seeking autographs before knowing what they're asking about. Because she's not easily embarrassed, she doesn't feel ashamed if someone should walk in on her when partially, or even fully nude.
