PowersNeed someone captured? You should hire Nadia Verdansky. With expertise in ranged weapons, demolitions and stealth, this woman makes quite a fine bounty hunter. She is also a formidable opponent when it comes to unarmed combat, being able to deliver a rather strong barrage of punches and kicks. But of course, she isn’t one to fight clean and follow the rules…
Fire: Her twin pistols, Obsidian and Opal, are able to channel the element of fire into several types of attacks:
---
Fire Orbs: Medium sized orbs of fire with moderate “intelligence” are launched at the enemy. Nadia is able to launch ten orbs (each one drains 3/30 out of 30/30 of fire energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out.
---
Fire Trackers: Small needle-like objects made out of pure energy. Though the damage they deal could be seen as minimal, they are able to follow the locked on enemy around for quite a while as they seek to land a hit. Nadia is able to fire fifteen trackers (each one drains 2/30 out of 30/30 of fire energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out.
---
Fire Laser: A continuous stream of fire that deals considerable damage upon contact. Though highly superior in power when compared to the other two possible forms of attack, the Fire Laser is quite harder to control. Nadia is able to send five lasers (each one drains 6/30 out of 30/30 of fire energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out. There’s a 25% chance of inflicting the burn status for two turns.
Ice: Her twin pistols, Obsidian and Opal, are able to channel the element of ice into several types of attacks:
---
Ice Orbs: Medium sized orbs of ice with moderate “intelligence” are launched at the enemy. Nadia is able to launch ten orbs (each one drains 3/30 out of 30/30 of ice energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out.
---

Though the damage they deal could be seen as minimal, they are able to follow the locked on enemy around for quite a while as they seek to land a hit. Nadia is able to fire fifteen trackers (each one drains 2/30 out of 30/30 of ice energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out.

Lightning: Her twin pistols, Obsidian and Opal, are able to channel the element of lightning into several types of attacks:
---
Lightning Orbs: Medium sized orbs of lightning with moderate “intelligence” are launched at the enemy. Nadia is able to launch ten orbs (each one drains 3/30 out of 30/30 of lightning energy) from each pistol before the element’s energy runs out.
---

Though the damage they deal could be seen as minimal, they are able to follow the locked on enemy around for quite a while as they seek to land a hit.

Fireworks:: Nadia’s Limit Break. Draining all of the three elements’ energy within the guns, the mercenary is able to fire a huge shower of elemental orbs and trackers at an incredible speed, creating quite a beautiful yet deadly firework show. The attack ends with four randomly chosen grenades, thrown at her foes for extra damage.
Weapon
[/size]
Obsidian and
Opal: A twin set of elemental pistols, Nadia’s beloved special item. They are able to contain a certain amount of elemental energy within them and unleash it in orbs, trackers or lasers. Currently it is only able to channel three elements but the number might be able to increase in time. The energy it contains is measured by */30 units, the gun being able to contain a limit of 30/30 units of each element at a time. Once an element is drained, the weapons will recharge it for four posts to completely fill it once again; as a plus, every time Nadia is hit with an element her pistols are able to channel, they will absorb a minimum part of the energy for her to use (basic tier = 5/30, -ra tier = 10/30, -ga tier = 12/30).
Darts: Nadia is also able to charge her weapons with darts, used for different purposes. Every thread she starts with eight poisoning darts, five paralyzing darts, eight slowing darts, six confusing darts and five healing darts.
Grenades: These babies are something that can’t be left out in any mercenary’s inventory. Nadia carries plenty of these useful gadgets while working, all for different purposes:
---Adhesive Grenade (x3): Covers the target area in a gooey bio-adhesive that traps anyone caught within the effect. It quickly degrades, allowing allies to soon pass unhindered.
---Fragmentation Grenade (x8): Fragmentation grenades are very basic. They explode when thrown, showering the enemy in shrapnel. It's not elegant, but it's definitely effective.
---Freeze Grenade (x3): Releases an extremely cooled liquid that freezes on contact, causing intense pain and damage to victims caught in the effect.
---Ion Grenade (x3): These grenades emit an extremely strong burst of energy devastating to any electronic devices caught in the effect.
---Plasma Grenade (x8): These grenades release a quick burst of an incendiary agent that ignites immediately, damaging all enemies near the area.
---Sonic Grenades (x5): These grenades explode loudly, but the majority of their effect is delivered in disorienting frequencies the ear can barely perceive, even as it is damaged.
---Smoke Grenades (x1): Releases clouds of thick smoke to obscure the enemies’ vision, allowing her to escape if needed.[/right]

Appearance[/size]
Nadia's hairstyle is quite different from those commonly seen in fellow mercenaries for the simple wish of hers to be immediately recognized by her “glorious deeds”. Her hair reaches down to her waist, falling in gentle, straight locks down her back. Her bangs reach down to just above her eyes, splitting off into different pieces. Verdansky's face pretty much falls under the heart-shaped category, with high cheekbones and a soft jaw line. Her eyes are rather wide and tend to lend her the image of unquestionable determination. They are a bright green color, and probably the highlight of her face. Her lips are a shade of soft pink, lightly accenting her ivory complexion.
Gifted with an athletic and sound body, Nadia is both sturdy and slender. Standing at a mere 5'6" and weighing in at about 119 pounds, she possesses fairly slim shoulders, flowing down along athletic yet feminine arms. Nadia's waist is considerably slender, which is quite an accent to her larger bust. Her hips are narrow as well, though a fair bit wider than her waist. This allows her torso to form the fairly known hourglass shape. Her strength however, lies in her surprisingly powerful legs.
With that being said, it is obvious that her small frame doesn’t limit how powerful she can be. Verdansky tends to have a lot of strength behind her lithe form; not to mention, she can shoot anything with uncanny accuracy regardless of the situation. It can be said that she’s a fairly strong woman, even though her size might draw her opponents into underestimating her.
Her choice of clothing and attire is meant to be another weapon for the huntress, usually serving as a distraction for males in order to give her an upper hand. A short, black tube top is worn to “cover” her body’s upper part, beneath a rather tight silver jacket of leather. Matching leather pants are held in place by a rather voluminous tool belt, where the mercenary keeps her darts and one of each kind of grenade for quick, easy use. The rest of her handy dandy explosives are kept inside a small backpack hung around her shoulders. When it comes to footwear, Nadia usually wears a pair of big black boots. She also wears a pair of golden earrings as accessories as the cherry on top of this “whore” outfit.
Occasionally, however, Nadia wears diverse wigs and matching clothing to go unnoticed while she hunts.
Personality
Nadia is often viewed as a considerably bad-mouthed, sarcastic young woman. Regardless of the situation, she won't hesitate to swear her pretty little mouth out. Being quite temperamental, a string of insults almost becomes an expectation when anger gets her. When that doesn’t shut them up, she resorts to using her athletic body and physical strength to put those people in their place. Actions speak louder than words, after all. Nadia is often the type to jump to conclusions easily, and as a result of her temperamental nature she can also become quite violent and abusive.
As vulgar as she may seem, Nadia still has a soft side for a certain number of people, sometimes ending up being your regular kind, and sensible person. As Nickolas was her only sibling and a very easygoing person, Nadia is very fond of younger children, especially wild ones. Should anyone bully, tease, or harass a young child, Verdansky would be the first to know and to kick the hell out of the criminal.
When one is able to clamber into her good books, they will certainly be in for a very strong friendship. Nadia’s allegiance to her friends and family is unwavering. In fact, she considers her closest friends to be part of her family. Even if it does not seem like it, she is willing to do whatever she can to help them, be it shooting some skulls, singing some Katy Perry, or anything else in between.
While she might be able to put on a strong, confident face in most situations she's granted with, Nadia can show a hurt and vulnerable side when it comes to certain situation. She is often highly conflicted within herself, especially when it comes to her purpose in the Universe. Her views regarding light and dark remain clouded and equal so she can go either way.[/right]

Background[/size]
Eucharistia; it was a small world of happiness, full of joy and life. Its people lived peacefully under bright blue skies, where the sunlight shone every single day of their existence. In this little world there was a little kingdom that shared the world’s name; the Queen was selfless and just, willing to help those in need while she ruled. In short, it was quite a wonderful world.
Nadia was born in this happy, little kingdom to a young couple, loyal to the Queen and her regime. She was quite a bright and promising child, charming people all over the place with her remarkable voice. Like everyone else in Eucharistia, the girl had one item that reflected her soul and marked the path she was to follow: a short, white sheer dress. It was believed that she was destined to become an entertainer.
It seemed as if everything was following its course; the people remained happy and content, and they sure loved their life as it currently was. Obviously nothing could possibly go wrong… right?
Then it came: the period known as the Great Darkness. For several days and several nights, the world of Eucharistia was surrounded by a thick sea of darkness. The sunlight did not shine upon them and not even the twinkling starts could be seen in the skies above. The citizens locked themselves inside their homes, fearing that this could be the beginning of the end.
But Nadia was not afraid; being a fourteen year old youth, her curiosity clouded her survival instincts. During the fifth night of the terrible darkness, she escaped the safety of her home. The castle’s streets were deserted, resembling the empty soul of a ghost town. The girl longed to go outside, to see and face herself what others feared.
The next morning, Nadia was nowhere to be found in the kingdom of Eucharistia.
She was never sure of what had happened that night; her memories regarding the event were clouded, almost as if her mind had locked them away in an attempt to save itself from shock and insanity. The next thing she remembered was waking up, laying on the cold pavement of an unknown place.
Soon enough, the teenager was found by a man living nearby; he was a mercenary going by the name of Jolak Verdansky. Though initially reluctant to trust him at first, Nadia eventually began to feel empathetic toward the man; he was kind, just like the Queen back at her kingdom. Jolak explained to her how he had found her: unconscious, sleeping in the middle of a main road. They talked for a while and soon came to the same conclusion: she had come from another place far, far away. She was no longer in the world of Eucharistia.
The man immediately forged a link with the girl; he did not want her to roam alone at night, especially since she knew nothing of her new surroundings. And thus, Jorak took Nadia under his wing and treated her like a daughter of his own, training her in the ways of the bounty hunter. He had another son, Nickolas, whose mother had been lost years ago to a strange disease. The boy, though brave, had proven himself to be inadequate for the mercenary way of living; he was one with nature and did not dare to harm a fly. Nadia and Nickolas were quite close; she loved and protected him as an older sister should while he looked up to her as a younger brother usually did.
The years went by and Nadia Verdansky soon became a fine mercenary like her father, skilled in various fields of demolition and weaponry. Her special item, the entertainer’s sheer dress, had changed form, becoming a trusty pair of twin pistols for the huntress to use. By the time she turned twenty, Nadia had already a good reputation to back her up.
However, there were also those that despised the huntress for her deeds. Long story short, many people wanted her dead. And they all eventually got their chance to act; their plan was perfect: there was no way they could fail. Nickolas, however, overheard one of the men talking about their “grand” plan; he was not willing to lose her sister.
And thus, the young Verdansky decided to act. Donning her sister’s clothes, he walked outside to the streets; there was no other way, his sacrifice was required for her to survive. The angered men, thinking he was the woman they all hated, simply struck Nickolas down, draining life out of him.
The young boy’s death was a low blow for Nadia. She was filled with hate, rage and thirst for blood. The huntress wanted revenge; she wanted all of them them all to pay for her brother’s death. So she hunted them down; she hunted every single one of them and drained life out of their beings, just like they had done with her brother.
She was never the same afterward.
Nadia showed no mercy; she killed her targets slowly, she liked seeing them suffer. The woman thought this would fill the void in her heart.
Eventually, the Heartless came. Long story short, they found the keyhole and the world was surrounded by the darkness that consumed it. And that is where the story currently lies…
