Summary[]
Ser-Vasra, the Ravenous Perpetual, is a character from Crestseal. She is a high-ranking Cavil and Congregator of her own Congregation, Vasra Fleet, a vast space Armada consisting 13 Cometwardens.
History[]
Early life[]
Ser-Vasra was born to Ser-Kutava, her father, and Mi-Tasarum, her mother, both were Soldiers for the Velkian Congregation, both having the rank of Conjor at the time of her birth. She was expected to join the family their parents founded alongside thousands of her siblings. She was one of the seven siblings her parents had, while the other thousands were Conpeons meant to be led by her and her "true siblings" to further the Tasarum family and establish it as a formidable Cavil dynasty in the future.
There was a lot of pressure on not only to her but to her siblings as she grew up. While her other siblings, in typical Cavil fashion, turned the pressure into determination and trained harder as they grew up. Ser-Vasra remained uninspired, and lacking behind her siblings in terms of power, capability, and size as her size remained small for Cavil standards. By the time she was 15, her parents had ascended to Condenants, and their expectation of her grew even more, only to be disappointed as Ser-Vasra was not getting stronger nor was she getting good at combat. They were always on the verge of disowning her.
Discovery of Rapacity[]
By the time she was 20, she was disowned in all but name. She would not be invited to family gatherings and be treated like an outsider if she ever showed up. Even dozen of her Conpeon siblings have surpassed her already. She didn't know why she was not improving like others but would find the reason soon enough. Ser-Vasra was later recruited to join part of a Cavil force when the Cometwarden she lived in was attacked by another Cavil Congregation. During one of the battles, her friend, Va-Nakso, was killed. Desperate, Ser-Vasra raised her hand towards him and was about to scream his name, only for Va-Nakso to transform into a pill in her hand, which she was tempted to swallow. After which, she was able to Summon him as if he never died, though he clearly was not the same.
Over the course of years following this battle, Ser-Vasra continued to improve her Method further. She gave the name Rapacity to her new Method, and gave the name Collectee(s) to those she has consumed and can summon at her side, and gave the name Collection to the entire asset of Collectees she has. She was able to appear in the right place at the right time to collect powerful individuals to her collection. And, after 10 years, she returned to her family to prove that she was now powerful. She divided and organized her Collectees based on power and utility.
Shattering of Bonds[]
Ser-Vasra arrived next to her parents, and, after a brief chat, she displayed her Inborn Method to them, expecting their approval and saying they were glorified by the way of their daughter. Instead, she found shock, fear, distrust, and disgust, as both her parents considered Rapacity to be a cowardly Method. To them, she ended up being worse than before, not only a weak person but a coward who hides behind puppets. Her father slapped her and told her to get lost, never to see them again.
This was the last straw for Ser-Vasra. At that very moment, as that slap contacted her face, her love and admiration towards her parents turned into hatred and contempt. She immediately Summoned several of her strongest Summons and attacked her father, who blocked the attack. She was now in war with two formidable Condenants, but this was no problem for her as she had dozens of Cavils of the same rank. After unleashing all of them, she killed both her parents and added them to her collection. She won this fight, and lost her love, her desire, her sense of pride and glory typical to Cavils. Later she would consider this moment to be her enlightenment.
Following the decades after battling her parents, Ser-Vasra developed to be a completely selfish, self-serving Cavil who was spitting at the face of all values Cavils held dear. She was actively antagonizing other Cavil forces, causing wars with them, which allowed her to add more to her collection. During these decades she also gathered many other like-minded Cavils, and, with the help of her Summons, she founded her own Congregation named Vasra Fleet after building 10 Cometwardens. Many other Congregators grudgingly accepted her status but were hostile to her, a mutual feeling. Her constant antagonizing swallowing her opponents and make them her slaves caused her to be known as the Ravenous Perpetual
Attack on Talith Congregation[]
Ser-Vasra was involved in an attack against Talith Congregation allied with another Cavil named Vse-Sarka. The plan was to conquer the Moon, but she withdrew after a brief battle, betraying Vse-Sarka in the process.

Resistance to Electricity and Paralysis (Unaffected when struck by several Boltmance attacks from various Cavils, some of whom had properties to paralyze their target)
Attack Potency: At least Large Building level physically (Ser-Vasra is uniquely physically very unimpressive for a Congregator, though she is still superior to Conrals in terms of physical strength, who have the assignment of Rank 9 and can combat those of the same rank). Varies (Ser-Vaska has a wide array of Summons which she calls Collectees, the power of Summons can vary massively depending on their class). At least Large Building level to City Block level (Weakest Bronze Summons are at least Rank 9 or can combat against those of that rank, while some stronger ones are Rank 8 or relative to that rank).

Stamina: Superhuman. Much weaker Cavils can continue fighting for days to weeks with severe injuries as well as Lathar deprivation, potentially Infinite as Congregator can remain active even when reduced to a skeleton, though their offensive abilities are severely weakened in that state, this is not as big of an issue for her since she relies on Summons
Range: Standard Melee Range, Dozens of Meters with Rapacity (Rapacity can be used from at most 60 meters distance)
Standard Equipment: None
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. in combat. Ser-Vasra is one of the high-ranking Cavils when it comes to capability, and despite the lack of physical prowess, she regularly competes with other Congregators and consistently outsmarts them, leading them to trap and consume them, adding them to her Collection. More intelligent than many of her Collectees, who are geniuses in their own right and masters of several different Proficiency Paths. Despite her own impotence to improve her physical or power capabilities, Ser-Vasra developed and improved her defense, being one of the few individuals who can resist Precogaze without being Precogaze masters themselves. Able to efficiently command dozens of her Collectees and take down larger forces with ease.
Standard Tactics:
Ser-Vasra's favorite move is Rapacity, but because she has to somewhat weaken the target to use it she first uses her Collectees to attack them and keep herself away from the battle and surrounded by several Collectees, as she is not good at direct combat and will do all she can do prevent having to fight directly by herself, but if she has to, she will go for restraining with Adhesense. Her Collectees have both close-range and long-range options. If she feels too threatened, she can change her appearance to one of her Collectees via Rapacity: Assume to keep herself even safer
Weaknesses: Ser-Vasra is not very capable in direct combat and mostly relies on Collectees
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Cavil: Ser-Vasra is a Cavil, a member of the Cavil species. Being a Cavil alone grants several innate abilities.
- Lathar Sustenance: Cavils subsist off only Lathar, as such no need to breathe.
- Grit:Cavils are linked to their Grit, also called mental Grit, which is the determination and resolve of an individual Cavil.
- Survival: The more Grit Cavil have, the more they can push through and survive in situations that are otherwise fatal. Gor-Talith, as a Voitain, can survive even as a skeletal structure and remain functional due to the mental grit.
- Adaptation: Cavil grit allows them to adapt their abilities and body to combat inconveniences, they can temporarily alter the way their own abilities work to make them effective against targets that previously resisted it
- Adhesense: Adhesense causes Ser-Vasra's hands to be always thread-like and sticky unless she consciously disables it. She can use her hands to restrain her enemies via threads and its sticky nature
- Rapacity: Rapacity is Ser-Vasra's Inborn Method. This allows her to consume her targets and summon them as servants on her own side. This works in 2 parts, first transforming into small pills, which are small enough for her to swallow at once, and consuming them. She can partially consume her opponents by biting or tearing parts of their bodies and consuming them, which results in a partial Collectee whose abilities and nature are equal to whatever pieces Ser-Vasra consumed worth. She can directly use Rapacity on much weaker targets, but She needs to somewhat weaken her comparable or more powerful targets to use Rapacity, getting, many of whom are not only far stronger than her but also more capable in combat, something she lacks as her physical strength and combat proficiency never improved. Early on, she could only Summon 30 at one time, Summoning more than 30 may cause them to go rogue and not obey her commands, though they still would not attack her or other Collectees. After going through a process she calls "Rapacity Decrypting", she gained the power to summon as many of her Collectees without them ever going rogue.
- Rapacity: Assume: Ser-Vasra is able to transform her physical appearance to one of her Collectees, allowing her to hide more efficiently as the enemy would not be able to tell which is Ser-Vasra.
- Note 1: All Collectees retain their abilities before being made into a Collectee, but due to it being so diverse, they are not indexed on the list.
- Note 2: While Rapacity Decrypting is a significant boost to her summoning (At most 30 controlled Collectees vs. Hundreds of thousands of controlled Collectees), I saw it as not worthy of warranting a whole separate Tier. It would be important to specify which version of Rapacity she has in any scenario involving this character."
