Species Ability/Perk

Clarisse is a woman with an interesting past. For it is due to the happenings of her birth that she became a crossbreed between the Hunteress and the very thing that she hunts, a demon. Clarisse was born to a clan of supernatural hunters –the very clan that Natalia Pryde was born into and ultimately expelled from. Ironically, Clarisse also happened to be born to the same mother and father the vampiress was born from just decades earlier. As fate would have it, Clarisse was born with bright yellow serpentine eyes. Not only that, but it was also on the day that the serpent god decided to bring about destruction and chaos to the clans. Yet, Clarisse wasn’t born from just any demon, but to Apep, the Serpent God of Chaos and Destruction as well as one of the leaders of the underground realm of the dead. It was while she laid within her crib that the serpent god entered the young infant to escape the unexpected strength of the hunters. To avoid the demon from escaping, the hunters sealed Apep within Clarisse. With her body adapting to the change, Clarisse became serpant like and obtained the abilities that Apep carried upon itself.

1. Viper’s Kiss: Similar to that of a vampire’s fang, Clarisse is able to extract and retract serpent fangs for her personal use. These fangs cannot suck blood, but rather poison. The poison gives her an additional percentage of health points. This only works, though, with physical contact and her teeth literally having to pierce through her victim’s skin. This is the total health she can gain per use. She can only use this ability three times per thread. color=#ff0000]First of all, even if this has a 3 times per thread limit, it needs a cooldown since essentially spamming all the uses in a row can be too strong.[/color]

Poison Absorbtion Chart:
D rank – 3% additional Health
C – 4% additonal Health
B – 5% additional Health
A – 7% additional Health
S+ - 10% additional Health This perk is mostly fine, but there's something bothering me, this perk has two persons interact, you and your target, and having a flat damage number can be too weak against some people while too strong against some other. This is basically because if you're fighting a D rank mage, this has a very low power rate, it's basically 6% power when a D rank should be 10%(meaning is almost half as strong). However, by fighting an X rank mage, the ratio of power in this perk grows hugely to ta total of being 6 times as strong as a D rank spell (this is essentially because you deal 3 and heal 3, making it a total of 6% in a D rank perk/spell doing to an S rank when it should only do 1%). Now, how to fix this? I think the way we can fix this is by changing those flat numbers for Rank damage. For example, at D rank, you absorb half D rank damage, at C rank you absorb half C rank health from the enemy. This can balance it since instead of being more effective against higher ranks, it's more effective against lower, which makes more sense right?
So this and the cooldown would be enough to completely balance it, but there's something else, S rank can't be the same than X rank, and at X rank, this will only be used a maximum of 1 time since X rank spells are once per thread spells.

2. Apep’s Seal: Clarisse is a being with a snake demon’s soul, Apep’s, sealed into herself since her time as an infant. Therefore, due to their connection and strong bond, Clarisse is able to revert to Apep with just a tip of her hat. With the removal of her fedora, Apep comes into light granting Clarisse with serpent 'sensory.' This ability has the side effect of letting people know it is in activation through the change of eye color. The switching from yellow eyes to bloody red.

Sensory "Radar" Chart:
* D Rank: Able to perfectly detect those of D and tell what they are and rank within a radius of 7 meters. Those of C rank, she knows they are there but cannot tell of anything else.
* C rank: Able to perfectly detect those of D and C rank and tell what they are and rank within a radius of 17 meters. Those of C rank, she knows they are there but cannot tell of anything else.
* B rank: Able to perfectly detect those of D, C, and B rank and tell what they are and rank within a radius of 20 meters. Those of A rank, she knows they are there but cannot tell of anything else.
* A rank: Able to perfectly detect those of D, C, B, and A rank and tell what they are and rank within a radius of 23 meters. Those of S rank, she knows they are there but cannot tell of anything else.
* S rank: Able to perfectly detect those of D, C, B, A, and S rank and tell what they are and rank within a radius of 25 meters. Those of S+ rank, she knows they are there but cannot tell of anything else.
* S+ rank: Able to detect anyone at any rank perfectly.

Character Depth

Personality: Clarisse Emerald Pryde is woman who loves the unknown. She was born into a family of traveling mercenaries, supernatural hunters to be exact. Not only is she adventurous and carefree, but she is also strictly professional and "unemotional" as it is crucial for her line of work; a mercenary. At a young age, she was taught the quickest and deadliest ways to assassinate and gather information. As such, Clarisse is practically dead in an emotional sense, only pouring herself into her work and hobbies. Clarisse has a side that a few rarely see and that is her psychological state. Clarisse is not a stable child as she can easily jump to sweet and loving to deadly and unremorseful. Clarisse is a what some would consider a 'psychopath.' Although, in reality, a demonic soul was sealed inside of her as an infant. She enjoys tinkering with robotics and working out to perfect her skills and maintain balance. Clarisse usually seems as the hard-to-approach type of person, but perhaps it is due to it being a rarity to see her laugh and or even joke around. She almost always has a serious look upon her face, yet with family and friends, she carries herself with a warm demeanor. The only exception to this is when she is doing what she loves. It is then that Clarisse wears a warm, happy smile on her face.  As been taught to her at a young age by her father, Clarisse is not one to easily trust and it may take some time until she finally warms up to someone. Once a person has gained her respect and friendship, the person will find her to be an invaluable friend and asset. In her free time, Clarisse loves to read and explore. She is incredibly smart, priding herself with her eidetic memory. Other times, she preforms for an audience or communicates with the dead as it is a curse placed upon her at birth. In battle, Clarisse definitely is not one to be afraid to be in the midsts of it all. She rather enjoys the grand bloodshed and feelings of terror going on in a battle. She also isn't one to start brawls and or fights, but she will end definitely them. Clarisse isn't one to back down and will give it all she's got to be the last one remaining standing. Clarisse is full of patience yet, when it runs out... Beware! She prefers to bring a fast, quick death to her enemies, but has no problems with torturing methods to gain valuable information. Clarisse is an amazing leader and will take the role if no one does. She works well with a team, but she, at times, prefers to work alone especially dark at night.

Likes:
- Serpentine Creatures: Due to her correlation with the serpentine god, Clarisse has always enjoyed the company of serpents and they with her.
- Technology & Tinkering: Clarisse has always been fascinated with technological advancements. She could even go as far as calling herself an inventor of sorts due to her love of breaking things apart and remaking it.
- Information: As Clarisse is a highly specialized informant, she values the gathering of knowledge and information. After all, what would she be without her technique of taking and selling information?

Dislikes:
- Wasting Time: There is no greater pet peeve for the young serpentine than wasted time. Time is valuable as well as money. If you happen to waste her time, you better watch out.
- Immoral People: This, without a doubt, is vague. Here, though, the "immoral" persons she is referring to are those that do not keep their end of their bargain, those that crave and act upon constant sexual desires, etc.
- Undecisiveness: Clarisse works for a price yet, when her clientel cannot make up their minds, she hates that with a passion. She is someone who cannot tolerate the undecisiveness of people and may even end up walking away from a job or team.

Fears:
- Apep: Clarisse fears the takeover of Apep. She knows what Apep’s ultimate goals are and, regardless of the outcome, she does not wish for it to happen.
- Falling In Love: Clarisse is an assassin and infamous "underground" informant. Therefore, due to the secrecy that surrounds her and the fact that her job brings about death and destruction, love is something she cannot afford.
- The End: Clarisse fears the day that it all ends for her -her reputation, her work, her life to be completely taken away from her. This is something she knows will be inevitable and thus awaits the day with a held breath.

Motivations/Goals:
- Serving Elizabeth: Clarisse is an extremely loyal person. Yet, the only person up to date that she would give her life for is Elizabeth, Guild Master of Animus Sin. As such, she has become her personal informant and even joined her guild upon request.
- Perfect her skills. Not only does she want to perfect her magic, but also herself
- To help Ryu. The motivations for this are unknown to all except for her.
