Physical Description
Cerci appears to be a rather young, slender looking woman with long raven colored hair, and dark, brooding violet eyes. Her skin is pale across her entire body, which is hard not to notice as she wears a long silk suit that is mostly see through, with a dark golden trimmed cape hanging behind her back. Her hair is usually holding golden hairbands to keep in place the intricate style. As well as a crowned crest on her head.

Personality
For the most part, Cerci is a cold and distant woman, preferring not to speak unless forced too. She is constantly watching however, paying attention to every little detail around her, waiting for any opportunities to present themselves for her to exploit. Of course, this is just her usual persona. A lot of the time, Cerci can be found acting rather seductive with a mischief charm to her, as she is forced to tempt men with her body. Even though she is fully capable of acting the part, Cerci dislikes it immensely, but as circumstances permitted by her curse worsen, she is often left with no other choice. She does, however, carry a deep respect and even love for those she has created with necromancy. She dotes over her undead minions like a loving mother, and can be wounded when they are destroyed. As a result, the undead in her service have began to respect and like her as well, often referring to Cerci as their "Mother" when forced to speak about her.

The much darker side of her personality, however, is truly terrifying. If Cerci goes long enough without consuming the mental energy of another sane being, her own sanity will begin to deteriorate rapidly. Being around for thousands of years with only the dead to keep her company has weighed heavily on Cerci's mind, and she MUST consume the mental energy of sane victims in order to keep her own intact. Otherwise, the result would a completely bloodthirsty merciless psychopath.

Magic/Abilities

NECROMANCY
Cerci is a necromancer. Her magic is very old, but still very very powerful. She has the ability to turn nearly any dead creature into a minion for her army, and with little effort. With this magic, she is able to reconstruct most vital parts of any being's physical form, and completely dominate their mind. The dead are enslaved by her magic, and therefore have no will of their own. They are bound to her and her alone, and will do anything in their power to complete the tasks she has set for them.

HEXING
A terrifying aspect of Cerci's magic, she is able to hex most beings she comes into contact with if she so wishes. These hexes often curse the target in question in a form that only Cerci can decide, and usually involve black magic. Her curses are quite strong, but they have limits. For one, there is ALWAYS a way to break her curse, but that way may be very difficult to figure out. And none of her curses are capable of taking control the body or mind unless the target is undead.

IMMORTALITY
Cerci is immortal, but not in the way most would think. She had been cursed many years ago, but the curse set upon her soul by Death has kept her body and mind awake for the entire time. Cerci is incapable of leaving her physical form, and is forced to remain trapped within it for eternity. If any damage comes to it, her body will automatically reconstruct itself with the dark magic coming off her curse. While to some this may seem as a gift, Cerci views it as an abomination, and would like nothing more to get rid of her immortal curse and escape the prison of flesh and bone.

Relationships

History
Long ago, in a time forgotten, there was a wealthy king among the sands. This king was well known throughout the region, and very cruel. He always had an army of slaves that would work for days on end without any form of mercy upon them. Many would die by exhaustion, and be thrown into the desert to be consumed by the sands. However, the king still had a soft spot in his heart for pretty woman. One woman in particular had caught the king's interest. A young slave girl, who only aged 19 at the time, had shown the king love. The two indeed fell for eachother, and lost themselves in love... But it would not last.

The tyranny of this king did not pass by unnoticed. In fact, is was the spirit of Death who took an interest in his work. The slaves conditioning worsening every year, gave death more and more souls. As a result, the evil spirit took control of the King's body and mind, and turned to his queen. The spirit too could not help but admire this woman's beauty and personality, and soon the king in the possession of the spirit, had a child with her...

This child was named Cerci.

Over the years, Cerci grew up living like a princess in her mothers arms as Death watched contently, but something about the girl was off. An evil aura, one similar to his own, trailed the child wherever she went. That's when he realized, this girl may have been born from the flesh of the king, but her soul was a reflection of Death's... Knowing all too well he could not let this continue.

Death soon found out he could not kill an offspring of his own. If this child died, her spirit would still endure, and he would be incapable of harvesting it due to her being his own child. And soon that spirit would grow in strength to rival his own, and even replace him. To fix this problem, he decided to make sure she could never take on a spiritual form and escape her body. Using Cerci's mother's soul as the sealing power, Death cast a curse on Cerci, imprisoning her inside her body for eternity. Never allowed to escape...

Never allowed to die...
