Powers and Stats
Tier: 7-A

Name: Valdis, The Night Queen

Origin: A Tale of Lost Swords

Gender: Female

Age: Unknown

Classification: Vampire

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Darkness Manipulation (via the Sword of Darkness she can manipulate darkness down to its concept. She can attack and defend with primitive constructs of solid darkness such as blades and spikes with Danmaku levels of frequency, tear away the darkness inside people away from things to cause internal damage, and bring the night with her to shroud her surroundings in a heavy darkness that not even enhanced senses and extrasensory perception can see through), Invisibility (can shroud herself in a darkness that turns her invisible), Mind Manipulation (can bring "darkness" on people's minds, dulling their perception and thought processes), Transmutation (can transform incoming attacks into harmless darkness, can transform people into darkness that quickly disperses, effectively erasing their physical bodies), Summoning (can summon Non-Corporeal spirits of darkness to attack her enemies, these spirits can also possess the corpses of the dead and use those corpses powers), Magic, Blood Manipulation and Absorption (can use Divine Words to absorb the blood of all nearby enemies and drain it from their bodies with her mind, then drink it to absorb their life), Statistics Amplification (can vastly increase her speed and strength by absorbing sources of life), Duplication (can remotely create and control very basic clones [combat-inapplicable] of herself out of darkness to communicate over long distances), Regeneration (Mid-High with a sufficient stock of "life", vampires can regenerate from being reduced to dust. Valdis in particular has a massive "stock" of life, such that Erebus felt even if he repeatedly "killed" her for a thousand years she would not die), Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - Vampires lack the Divine Word (concept) for "life" within them, and subsequently also lack a concept of "Death", as things must be alive for them to experience death. This allows vampires to "survive" even if they are reduced to dust, though they are not generally conscious while dust, and even regenerate if exposed to a source of life such as blood from a living being), Resistance to Madness Manipulation (barely affected by hearing several Divine Words, when even a single one can bring madness to lesser minds), Mind Manipulation (mental strength like that required to resist the insanity of knowing the Divine Words is equatable to the mental strength that allows people to resist mind manipulation), Soul Manipulation (can withstand Chaos infecting her soul, can withstand channeling large amounts of magical energy which can burn away the soul, can take hits from the God Swords which strike at body and soul equally), Life Manipulation and Death Manipulation (due to lacking both concepts - was unaffected by the Authority of Life using both Life Manipulation and Death Manipulation on her)

Attack Potency: Mountain level (defeated and killed the Authority of Life, who should be comparable to other Seraphim. Fought with Erebus Orestes and blocked the Sword of Light's attack with a construct of darkness)

Speed: Massively Hypersonic (fought with Erebus Orestes and a Seraphim)

Lifting Strength: Superhuman

Striking Strength: Mountain Class

Durability: Mountain level (took hits from the Authority of Life during their fight. Blocked attacks from Erebus Orestes)

Stamina: Extremely high. Vampires stamina is linked to their stock of life, and as long as they do not lose this stock of life through their regeneration, they will not tire. Additionally, even once they have lost this stock of life, vampires can fight on with "lethal" injuries due to being unable to naturally die.

Range: Tens of kilometres (can affect this wide and area with her darkness manipulation)

Standard Equipment: The Sword of Darkness

Intelligence: Fairly high. Has accumulated a large amount of knowledge over her long life. Fairly adept at military battle tactics.

Weaknesses: Her stock of life can eventually run dry and thus disable her regeneration, though Erebus felt this could well take a thousand years of repeated "deaths".

Notes:


 * Vampires in AToLS are not traditional vampires. They are a separate species of being who did not have the concept of "life" given to them when the Seven Heroes repaired the world and re-established its laws and concepts. As a result of never being born with "life", they equally lack the concept of "death". As they lack both life and death, they are unconsciously driven to seek these things, gaining an extreme and never-ending hunger for sources of "life" - most prominently in the form of other being's blood. Should they not have enough "life" within them, their death-seeking urges awaken, and they turn into feral monsters that mindlessly attack anything around them, completely ignoring defense and injury as they attempt to provoke others to kill them. At the same time though, absorbing the life from others increases their strength, speed, durability and how much magic they can channel.
