Nieves Salazar

Summary
Born into the La Luna bloodline of vampires, one of the few to escape the destruction of Earth in more than scattered numbers, Nieves had most of her life planned out for her as a child, as a vampire. However, Nieves wanted to be more - she wanted to be a mage. And she, eventually, managed to wrest that concession from her parents and go down the path to becoming a magical officer.

Eventually, she did become one, positioned within the region in which she was born as a junior officer. It didn’t take long for her to rise up to being one of the senior officers, due to her strength and skill, and she eventually became personal assistant to the Green Flash herself, Maple Kuna. At around this time, her mother was killed in an incident involving Mars, and her older sibling became the head of the bloodline.

Appearance
Nieves is a chubby girl of average height, with brown skin and the bright red eyes of a vampire. Due to being shortsighted, she wears glasses. Her hair is black, and is very curly, with messy, ragged bangs. It is fairly long, going about halfway down her back. Her eyes are nearly constantly accompanied by heavy bags underneath them, due to her lack of sleep. As a vampire, she has sharp teeth, claws, and wings. Most of the time, she wears a grey mage's uniform - a heavy trench coat, peaked cap, and normal pants. In her free time, she wears simpler, looser clothing, favoring blouses and skirts, but avoids showing much skin.

Personality
Nieves is a very quiet, somber, and serious person. She takes everything very seriously, especially her job. She is strict, professional, and formal, referring to her fellow officers by their titles and being irritated when they refuse to call her by hers. She is very protective of others, and very idealistic, though this is occasionally tempered by pessimism. She is loyal, dependable, and good under pressure.

Gentle and kind, Nieves is patient and enjoys helping others. She is most calm in her workplace's ordinary situations, though she tends to falter in more uncomfortable ones, typically those involving interacting with people. She is obsessive and meticulous, and is terrified of failure. Despite this, she tends to shoulder everyone else's burdens and take the fall for their failings. Although not a perfectionist, she feels she has to meet and exceed every expectation due to her family's high standards. She wants to make them proud.

In more personal situations, Nieves is shy and easily embarrassed. She is a very anxious person, and stutters and gets shaky when nervous. Nieves tends to get infatuated with those who give her more attention and praise than normal, much to her own annoyance, and finds that it is painfully obvious when she has a crush. She talks more when nervous, but also when comfortable, though she shuts up quickly when informed of this. Although she isn't stoic, she tends to bottle up her emotions to an unhealthy extent, and easily falls into periods of negativity.

Standard Equipment:

- Espada Chupar: A magical type of sword created by and passed down the La Luna bloodline of vampires. The sword’s magical construction allows it to drain the blood of those it cuts and transfer it to its wielder, giving them a steady supply of blood when in combat. In addition, by using the iron in the blood it drains, the sword can reconstruct itself if damaged.

Intelligence: Genius. Nieves is a highly skilled mage, trained in her magic since her childhood. She is also a very proficient swordswoman, having been trained in the art as a child, similarly to her magical abilities. As a fairly high-ranking officer of the TGWA, she is an experienced manager, leader, and combatant, as well. Having developed her own magic, she is well-versed in its use, as well as in biology and genetics in general, due to the knowledge needed to properly use it.

Weaknesses: As a vampire, she's very weak to sunlight, although she can circumvent this with barriers.

Key: Start | EoS

Abilities
Magic: The act of using one's understanding and willpower to direct the power of Fantasy. Nieves is an experienced mage, trained since childhood by her family. Her magical skill is enough to be a fairly high-ranking officer, and she continues to expand her knowledge even then.

Nieves' magic grants her many abilities. It sustains a near-constant, 360° magical image of her surroundings that is far more reliable than her eyes and much harder to circumvent. It also allows her easily sustained, near-effortless flight.
 * Absolute Barrier: A magical barrier that protects the user from external manipulation and attack, on every level of existence. An Absolute Barrier protects the user’s body, mind, and soul - their cells and atoms, the magical and physical forces keeping them together, and everything else. It is akin to a magical immune system, protecting the mage from threats and adapting to future attack. It passively protects the user from most types of attack, manipulation, and control, as long as the barrier is strong enough - a witch of substantially greater power can punch straight through one. An Absolute Barrier is passively maintained at all times, even in sleep, requiring no energy to maintain, and can only be removed by a stronger witch actively stripping it away, or by the user consciously lowering them.

Helix: A unique magic based around the manipulation of genetic structure and information. Nieves developed and mastered this magic herself.

Through its use, Nieves can alter the genetic structures of her opponents to inhibit the function of their body in various ways, such as making parts of their bodies transform into other things on a genetic level. She can inhibit regeneration by simply removing the genetic information for an injured or severed body part - if the body does not process it as having ever existed, it will not regenerate properly.

Nieves can use the magic on herself to alter her own genetic structure, whether to increase her strength or shapeshift. By accessing the genetic information in others, she can use it for her own benefit - for example, she can mimic genetic powers and muscle memory.

La Luna: As a vampire born into the bloodline, Nieves has a natural affinity for the highly advanced, ancient moon magic of La Luna. She’s been trained in it since childhood.

Through La Luna, Nieves can manipulate the lunar radiation and energy of Earth’s true moon. Nieves can project this energy in the form of blasts, beams, and etcetera. In addition, being under ANY moon during the night greatly increases her stamina, regeneration, and overall strength. Being under an eclipse, while risky, amplifies these boosts even further.

In addition, Nieves has a deep connection to her spirit through the true moon. This grants her heightened awareness of magic, both her own and the magic surrounding her. She can interact with and learn magic at an accelerated rate, and the very existence of her soul is a work of magic.
 * True Moon Projection: Through her moon magic, Nieves can project an avatar of her spirit onto the true moon, the spiritual and magical embodiment of Earth’s long-dead moon, created in ancient times. There, Nieves can reinforce and strengthen her spirit and/or gorge herself on the immense magical energy of the true moon. Nieves can simultaneously function on true moon and in the normal world without many issues.

Reality Wheel: One of the most advanced and powerful magical techniques. A reality wheel acts as a powerful magical extension of its user, and allows its user to change the nature of reality within its range. Reality wheels are incredibly difficult to use and properly control. In addition, they tend to drain a lot of energy and stamina, making it difficult to use them for extended periods of time, although this can be mitigated by more powerful mages.
 * Relative Lightspeed Spiral: A type of reality wheel, created and utilized with the intent of allowing technical faster-than-light movement. It functions by defining the user as their own universe - and in that universe, the speed of light is a variable they can change. So by increasing the speed of light for themselves, they can accelerate past what the rest of the universe defines as the speed of light.

Vampirism: As a vampire, Nieves has all the abilities associated with being one.

She has the fangs, wings, claws, and eyes of a vampire, as well as the physical strength of one. She can also regenerate from as little as a drop of blood, given time, and is functionally immortal on account of this.

This comes with drawbacks, of course; she needs to drink blood to keep her capabilities up, and sunlight will burn her body away without any ability to regenerate.
 * Shapeshifting: As a Myotis vampire, Nieves can shapeshift into the form of a bat fairly easily. Transforming into this form takes no energy, and although this form is slightly physically weaker, Nieves can still use many of her magical abilities. She retains her speed and regenerative capabilities. Alternatively, she can transform into a swarm of bats, though this takes more energy.


 * Eyes of Hunger: The greatest power of any vampire. Upon transformation into a vampire, one's eyes change in color to red, signifying their newfound vampiric powers. However, their eyes change in many, many ways. A vampire is able to see in any conditions, regardless of light, can follow the flow of blood in a target's body and identify places with the highest blood flow. In addition, they can see even the invisible, and can identify and track magical signatures through sight alone. In addition, vampires can project powerful magical beams from their eyes formed from a combination of stolen blood and magic. These beams can be incredibly precise, or unconditionally destructive.
