- Undead body: This is an umbrella category for basically a small list of things Kierella can or can't do because she's lost her humanity.
a. Survival: She no longer needs to sleep, eat, or drink to live. She also has a somewhat higher stamina than humans/does not tire as easily. A good example of this is when a normal mercenary is fighting, he might tire after 20-30 minutes. By this point, however, Kierella is only breathing a little bit harder than before. She can die, but it will take a lot to kill her. She knows that if she loses this undead body, she becomes a complete spirit instead--unable to do anything except wander the land uselessly. b. Non-aging: She can no longer age beyond her current 20-year-old self. c. Emotions: As described in detail in the personality and history sections, many of her emotions are dulled or gone. d. Senses: She cannot taste, smell, or touch. When she touches something, she can feel her fingers wrapping around an object, for example, but she cannot sense cold, heat, textures, etc. e. Pain & wounds: Her body is able to be wounded, but it regenerates slightly faster than other bodies. For example, if it takes 2 weeks for a cut to heal on a normal human, for Kierella, her cut would be healed in about 5 days. Furthermore, her sense of pain has significantly dulled: even deep wounds only sting a little to her senses. (This, of course, is also a disadvantage: it's harder to know when to stop/retreat when one cannot feel how much pain they're receiving.)
- Controlled phasing: Normally Kierella's body is corporeal (able to interact with solid objects), but with a little bit of undead magic, she can phase through objects at will. It's not perfect: she can't hide inside a wall, for example, because she can't keep up her incorporeal magic for more than a minute. So if she's not careful, she could get stuck inside the object.
Alignment: Aiada: Keirella's motivations, which are largely subconscious and influenced by her lack of humanity, are appreciation and obedience to her demi-god, Synk--or "Death"--for making her this way.
Other:
1. Kierella is out of her element, in a world without her god. As such, she will feel disoriented for the first couple of weeks: disoriented enough not to go around just killing people. In fact, her internal guide will tell her that Synk is somehow absent, therefore there's no one she needs to kill. After these few two weeks, this will change and she will go back to her usual undead self, but she will have learned about the appearance of the Death Reaper and this world's consequences regarding killing. She's subject to her god's desires, but she ain't stupid.
2. Kind of represented by her face claim, but Kierella has always looked and acted a bit "androgynous." She is not very feminine and often has a more masculine demeanor, gait, and even facial structure.
