Wooow, look at this creepy and mysteryous apocaliptical sky atmosphere you created, it's beautiful! I love the border bright light u did on the church sillouete, it really did add some cool effect. About ur own character, I can't beeelieve u created such cool body marks, looks like clothes, I don't know if it's one, but it's really cool I can't really say for sure. It may be actually part of her humanoid bodey, and her expression is priceless, such cool action pose, did u use some refference? Well, by the end, the wing, it's what I like the most, it has such reflect and shades that I liked and some holes and tears on the membrane, also it's me or she lost her other wing? Anyway, it's a really good piece of digital art u made, congratulations for the work! I hopw I'll become skilled enough to learn how to do this on photoshop ^^ Keep on with the good work!

Nope, no reference for this one.
The body marks are plates that she wears. Well, it's more Rickard, her 'partner', that dresses her.
It's kinda horrible... they are metal plates that she bends round her body. They have various needles, spikes and barbs on the reverse (facing her body), that she then drives into her body to keep them in place. She heals around them so they don't constantly bleed.
Thank you so much again BadGuy85,
It's wonderful to have someone show an interest, but there is a lot behind these characters and I really don't want to bore the pants off of you...
I'll copy and paste a little of the information about her History I have on her from my Character Database, but HONESTLY - really REALLY understand if you you just skim ... ^___^
===
Rakelda's father died before she was born. Her mother, a deeply religious fanatic, subjected Rakelda to a very rigid and harsh upbringing. The abuse she suffered at the hands of the towns priest whilst her mother turned a blind eye to the events, drove her to kill both the priest and her mother as she had started to loose her mind. She slit their throats whilst the vicar was listening to her mothers confessions.
After this, she fled the town of her birth and lived on the harsh streets of Caphearno. Scared, hungry and alone, Rakelda turned to prostitution.
She was turned to a Vampire in her 27th year. Rakelda now follows Rickard around (The Vampire who turned her). Why this is remains a little unclear. He does posses her frequently and it may be that she likes relinquishing the control to a like minded killer. But this is not always the case. It is difficult to establish the thoughts of such a crazed and thoughtless animal; a rabid beast. But she does show some kind of loyalty to Rickard. Before she was turned she knew Rickard as one of her customers. He mistreated her back then, but by the time she meet him, she had lost her mind and saw this individual as some kind of stability in her turbulent life.
When Rakelda was turned into a vampire, her desire to escape the horrors of the world around her and the contempt she held for her own frail, helpless body created a being who was blindly savage and possessed immense physical power.
Rakelda died the night she was turned, she relinquished her soul, turning towards the darkness so that she would never again need to see the horrors that had followed her in her life. The gift a Vampire receives is a dark gift; It personifies that which is in a person, in such a way as to construct a killer. It looks for the darkness in a soul and hunts out the traits that can be bent to evil. Rakelda's wishes were granted by a nightmare and she now leads an existence of silent and ignorant brutality.
She was a Simple Girl who had lead a tortured life. She was a weak person who despised her own weakness and longed for the ability to remain oblivious to the hardships she faced as she had long since lost the ability to deal with them. She had descended into madness long before she was turned, upon becoming a Vampire she abandoned thought.
Ignorance is not bliss - she's now a unthinking murderous fiend.
As with all vampires, the gift lends itself differently to Rakelda than to other Vampires and increases over time; It granted her phenomenal strength, speed and physical prowess - Farly brainless powers when compared with the gifts that were bestowed upon someone like the serial killer and rapist Rickard.
As the years have wore on she has started to develop wings which are strengthening with time. She can tear the wings out which stiffen and she then uses as Sythes. She Typically tears one out to use as a savage weapon, and one wing is left in place which she uses to defend herself, attack others and assist her in her movement. Again, as with all Vampires, Rakelda is Immortal and will not die. She can be killed but her almost instantaneous healing, superb and vicious fighting style and extremely aggressive nature makes this virtually impossible.

Oh, don't worry about horribleness, I also imagine some stuff that could make my daddey shiver in despair. Good for him I spare him this little things, don't want him dying early and suddenly by heart attack. Anyway I just adored the concept of her outfit, it kinda reminds me of Pyramid Head in Silent Hill: Homecoming, he uses some type of iron helmet whose got some inner spikes or needles, that hurts it's face, it's so saaad, I feel like hugging him everytime I see him in that game. Sure he isn't the same as the other Pyramid Heads on the other games, in each game they are heavily influenced by the mind of the protagonist. Anyway, look at me blathering. ^^ How sweet.
It's really not a problem being interested into ur characters, I'm sure that if u did put this into more groups about vampires, OCs and fantasy, more and more people would come to know and become interested in it, after all the history behind them and thought putted into it is fantastical, I'm enchanted. And really, don't be silly, I'd not skim it even if u wanted me to. Oh, yeah, there's something else, forgive me by my english, I may have lots of grammatical errors, but it's cuz english isn't my home language, I'm from Brazil and portuguese is sooooooo so different. So excuse me. Rakelda's story at the beggining reminds me very much of Carrie White ^^ Sure we know Carrie was mistreated by her mother and school mates, and Rakelda's by mother and priests, I am very glad she did slit their throats later then, it's "divine" punishment ^^ By possess her frequently, I think u mean rape? I guess... Well it's kinda common to a turbulent mind see an abuser as a person who actually cares for her, since her mother was an abuser too, may she see in Rickard some kind of twisted confort, after all she doesn't really learned what real care and love actually feels like. That actually answered my mental question about her fisical strenght and body, she seems a very strong creature, not just in supernatural force, but in anatomical composition. I guess she wasn't like that before she turned into a vampire. It's very interesting her contempt about her frail and weak late body influencing into her fisical mutation, it's very creative. It impress me very much about the vampire gift searching into human beings for the darkest part of their heart to feed upon it and develop from inside out influencing also into body transition and phisic strenghtness, that's such an creative concept that could earn a book. Althought, it's true, that is pretty much unfair about a rapist serial killer gaining much more superior gifts as a victim, but guess that is just natural, the most twisted and sick mind, the most dark the heart the most powerfull the gift. ^^

Rakelda is for sure such and amazing original character, she is a little bit similar to my own character, Richard, the brunette blindfolded prostitute that worship money. They both died to turn into something else. But Rakelda kinda wished for her "gifts", Richard was a little bit different, he was a very sweet, naive and pure boy, but he ended up as a scapegoat when he was around 14 years old, he was forced into some kind of ritual that ended really bad and the failure infuriated their master, so their master choose Richard to try and fix what was left with a bloody sacrifice. Basically abreviated, he stole Richard virginity with a rape, before offering his soul to the demon he worshiped, than he stabbed him with an athame to death. Richard was an offer, but an impure offering, cuz a offer must be send virginous, and their master knew that, he purposely rapped Richard before so the devil could send him back. Richard descended alone into hell, the devil still provided their master wish, but corrupted Richard with something else and sent him back to earth. The young brunette was bloodly murdered that night and died, what came after it, was something more, it came within and tainted Richard into another being, and inccubus, damned to survive only by feeding into vital fluids or sex energy. Richard was left alone into a town, just like Rikelda, he firstly became very desperate and hopeless, lived some years into torture by the hands of others, till his thirsty and hunger proved on. The first ones he murdered, than later he turned into a prostitute, so he could feed without killing. He became to feed upon young and older mens, and gaining money by it. Through the years he was already familiarized with his reality, and learned that without money nobody gets anything, so he became to adore money and gold, discarded late love feelings, darkened his soul, turned into exactly what his master wished. An selfish, egocentric, manipulative, subtile, lithesome and clever inccubus.
Did u thought u were the only one who could bore the pants out of me? ^^ Guess what, I can be very talkative too, just u wait, haha.

LOL!
Ramblers unite ^___^
No worries about you English - I can't imagine how hard it must be to express idea's such as yours in a a language other than your native tongue, and You do exceptionally well!
Never been a issue, and I'm grateful you make the effort as without your skill in English we wouldn't be able to talk - I can't say a sentence in any other language so you're far ahead of me ^___^
Great reading about Richard - I love the way you take him from his innocent and pure beginnings to the twisted Incubus he becomes. AN amazing journey with a believable and compelling transformation!
... actually By "posses her frequently", I actually meant that Rickard has the ability to posses people. That is to be able to take control of them bot physically and mentally. He actually does have sex with her regularly and this often plays a part in there murders and rapes, but that isn't what I meant.
When he was first turned to a vampire, being a sick twisted individual already, the dark gift granted his desires. It's kind of like mind control, but he found it easier on people who were already a little dark themselves. He can sometimes just take over your body and use you like a marionette, or other times, just play with your head. As he aged and strengthened, these skills became stronger and stronger...
He can also stretch his limbs and 'darkness follows him' so that wherever he is, is bathed in perpetual darkness. He can forever stalk his prey in the shadows and play with them as pawns in his sick games...

I'm happy u did praise my english I have been learning it by my own over some years now, learn by urself is more difficult, but sometimes more effective, and it's always nice to see it's giving good results after long effort. Thank you very much ^^
Yeah, that was actually a very very resumed explanation about Richard's similarity with Rakelda, but his story as expected still has a lot more of little details and important flashbacks that explains lots of things into his personality evolution according to the social enviroments he was exposed into. He is one of my most intrinsically done OC's, there are also more five individual stories that collides, mingle and influencies his own, both into the past as into the future. He must be hated by all of the people who read his story, my readers doesn't actually like him very much, he can be reasonable hated by his cruelty and vain acts. His murderous intentions and poisoned mind, but I very much understand him, he has all the enviroment propicious to develop such awlfull manipulative personality. Rape, abandonment, abuse, betrayal , torture and this types of thraumatic experiences coupled with demoniac influence may create wonderfull darkness sometimes. Twisted minds, deviant behavior and phsychological disorders.
I see, by possess u did mean a different thing, I understood, thank you, I must say "possess" in my language may have a little bit too much conotative meaning behind it, so that's why I thought. With ur explanation it got cleared. So, ramblers unite. ^^ See ya soon, byee

Oh, yeah, well not a really big deal, u know, don't be silly ^^ I learned by playing games, listening and studying music lyrics, watching movies without subtittles and some basic online lessons. But what helps me the most is listening music, I guess, I am really good at memorize my favorite songs, and stuff, I'm good at memorizing just what I like, and I LOVE music, so that's why it helps me the most, I have lots of lyrics songs in mind and I can sing them, and it works in time I have to form a full sentence. What I can't do neither remember, a online dictionary always works very good for some weird words, like "Sympathize, that I ALWAYS forget how to write it, it's really weird, hahahaha, well anyway, Thank u very much by the praise. Every single country wich english isn't the main language, has english as a escolar subject. English is very important for good jobs nowadays. U very lucky to know it since ever ^^ Also know something of French, not cuz it's important, but cuz I think it sounds beautiful ^^ Au revoir, cher. Bybye o/
