APPLICATION
OOC
Name: kitty
Age: 25+
Contact:
meowed
Character(s) Played: also apping peter parker (tasm)
IC
Name: carmilla karnstein
Canon: carmilla webseries
Canon Point: end of S1, before being recovered after the final fight (so pre kiss) +crau
Age: 340ish, looks 18
Appearance: A very pretty girl, Carmilla has dark black-brown hair that she usually wears curled, dark eyes and fairly pale skin. She is almost always seen wearing dark eyeliner and eyemakeup and she has an extreme fondness for black nail polish. She is slim and slight, and on top of that is not particularly tall at 5'3. That said, she has confidence and presence that often makes her seem taller.
Abilities:
— vampirism. Carmilla is an old vampire, and that affords her some of the usual vampire skills. Super strength, super speed, super reflexes, you know the drill. she heals quickly if she's well fed, and the fed in this instance is blood (though she does still enjoy food, chocolate especially). She is more resistant to damage and is stated that she will survive most anything unless she loses her heart or her head. she has no weakness to garlic or sunlight, like some vampires, though she is burned by genuine holy water, as in properly blessed. She's fine with crosses, as she wears one sometimes for her goth aesthetic and remains unphased. She does not need to be invited in to enter a residence.
— suggestion. For those particularly feeble of mind, Carmilla is able to persuade them towards her wishes. For example, she convinced someone she attacked that he didn't need to be upset about it, and then he wasn't. It requires the low hypnotic voice and eye contact, and it doesn't always work. She doesn't seem to use it much, and only on less-than-intelligent individuals, so it's likely it isn't effective on stronger willed people. I don't intend to use this much since Carmilla used it like twice in canon, it's clearly not her sorta thing. She usually just does the bad bullshit and lets people be mad about it. That said, if it ever did come up, it'd only be with explicit permission!
— dream influence. Anyone who sleeps around her is prone to having nightmares. Carmilla has no real control over this and it doesn't even indicate she has foul intent, it just happens. It seems to be something sprung from the original book. The dreams are usually about drowning in blood or giant cat monsters. Dreamcatchers seem to more or less prevent these, or the show forgot about it past s1. ANYWAY,
— cat monster. Speaking of cat monsters, she can turn into a cat monster. Think panther. Big enough to drag jocks across the quad in her jaws. This is apparently from the original novella, so, that's something.
— teleportation. She can poof around in black smoke. She can't teleport anyone else, just herself. Range is not clearly stated canonically, but I know this is a nerf ability in beacon so I am fine with whatever limitation you want on this one!
— pyrokinesis. She usually uses this to light candles to mood light her brooding, but she also set a huge leather book on fire.
— psionic scream. Vampires of a certain age in Carmilla's canon have the ability to let out a psionic scream, which disorients or knocks out others. That said, she's young enough that she has no control over this ability and more or less it hurts people's ears when she is especially upset.
— non-vampire stuff. She is an old vampire, and especially well read. She is familiar with many languages, many of them dead, and some of them not. She's lived through a lot and knows a lot of history.
(Optional) Personality:
Age inspires indifference. Carmilla plays at a dismissive, disinterested girl, and she plays at it quite convincingly. She seems inspired most by hedonism, and failing that what sparks her interest at the time. She's a selfish creature and spares little thought to those around her unless they can be of use to her. She's mean and she's unsympathetic, unless it serves her. Which is not to say she's entirely without her charms. Carmilla is charming, smart and witty, and she uses all of these facets to engage when she wants to. Sometimes it's well intentioned, sometimes it's because she needs something. Either way there's usually a disconnect between most of her interactions and what she really feels.
That said, her act of disinterest isn't a perfect facade. Occasionally something strikes her, breaks past the indifference. Honestly it happens more than Carmilla cares to admit. She is a romantic with her bleeding heart scarred over with age, yet it is far from desiccated. She still finds something to admire in innocence, even if hers disappeared a long time ago. Carmilla can find figments of humanity that she is engaged by and when that happens she tends to show a more true version of herself. One that can be affectionate, one that can be playful, one that can be thoughtful and kind. It isn't a side she shows to just anyone, and often her own removal from truly connecting with others is a perfect way for her to avoid getting close enough to care.
When she does? She does intensely, with her entire self. Be it the endearing qualities, like subtle shows of affection, genuine thought and interest in the other's life or concern and worry for their health, or the less-than-endearing ones, like her willingness to do anything to protect them. Because in the end, that violent and vicious side of her exists. She often references it as a threat, and sometimes it seems just like that. It is important to not forget she's more than capable of any shade of violence she decides will help her, silence her pain, or protect those that matter to her. She's not above feeling guilty about it after, because she knows it's wrong. Still, it's too late to pretend she doesn't already have blood on her hands. what is a little more, in the scope of things?
