About
Born to the criminal Adrastea class on the planet Khera Charis was a lowly thief that picked the pocket of the wrong man. Or right man depending on perspective. Choosing to try to rise above the status she was bred for she joined the elite Coda warriors, making a name for herself as a warrior capable of going even with their highest ranking member. Unfortunately, this rise would abruptly end when she was framed for the murder of her entire Coda sisterhood while they were stuck on Earth.

For nearly three thousand years she's been fighting to not only clear her name but also to protect the humans on Earth from being used as tools in a war beyond their comprehension. Working in the shadows there have been whispers of her exploits throughout human history, often taking the form of myths ranging from a goddess of vengeance avenging the dead to a goddess of war leaving a bloody path in her wake. She's solved mysteries with Sherlock Holmes, fell in love with D'artagnan of the Three Musketeers, fought aliens on the Titanic, was a wanted outlaw in the wild west, fought in the shadows in every major war, and saw the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

Now she's finally gotten her revenge. Finally cleared her name. But what's a woman to do when she's lived on the run as a monster for so long? When the only thing that's made her feel alive was barely escaping death? Good question. She'll have to find an answer eventually.

first impressions

Charis holds herself as the single most nonchalant woman you will ever meet. Her posture is constantly relaxed, as if she doesn't take anything at all seriously. There's confidence to her movements that can easily be seen as reckless or even cocky. There's also a sensual element to a lot of the way she moves and the way she handles herself. As if she knows she's attractive and isn't afraid to use that. She typically has a smirk on her face or a smile of some kind, showing off a playful energy.

fashion

Typically Charis wears a black and red body suit with glowing blueish/white lines around it. There's a harness like design around her chest and a long butt cape. The pants that go with the suit have several holsters and straps that could be used for weapon storage. Finishing off the suit are a pair of boots that reach just below her knees that have heavy flat heels. It's capable of creating shields of various sizes and strength.

When dressing in civilian clothes she's fairly good at blending in with the time period and adapting to what will fit in. She favors clothing that allows movement or that's quickly modified to allow for combat. She usually favors elegant clothing that also accentuate her assets. Things like tight white button down blouse with grey pants, suspenders, and high heeled boots. For dresses she tends to prefer white loose flowing gowns, often in a Greco-Roman flair.
Powers
Kherubim Physiology
Kheran's are immortal, unable to die by natural causes or disease. They have enhanced senses allowing them to see and hear far above the human level. They're also capable of neutralizing most poisons, toxins, venoms, radiation, and bacteria. They're extremely durable with tough skin that's almost impossible for normal weapons or bullets to pierce. In addition to that they are capable of regenerated any damage to their body. She has enhanced speed and reflexes, much higher than even the peak human. She also possess enhanced strength, able to life a small to medium car with effort. All Kheran's have low level telepathic and telekinetic abilities that are extremely limited but allow them to at least block out other telepaths from accessing their mind.

Empathy
Charis is able to sense people's emotions to an excruciatingly accurate degree. It's impossible for her to turn off, which has both positive and negative qualities. On the positive side she can almost always tell if someone's lying to her or when people are approaching with an ill intent. On the negative side she can always feel the emotions of others, for good or terrible. She can sense emotions from a very long distance as well as residual emotions of a room and of corpses. She's also able to touch people or objects and get a psychic "surge" from them. This surge can let her see someone's past, their deepest secrets that even they might not know, their deepest desires, and sometimes even the future. She occasionally has glimpses or feelings in regards to the future at random.

On the extremely negative side, she can become easily overwhelmed by the emotions around her. This is particularly true if the person has very strong feelings. If she picks up on the emotions of someone who was murdered and who died wanting vengeance she will become completely taken over by the desire for vengeance until she avenges whomever died.
Permissions
Empathy
As Charis is completely unable to turn off her empathic powers, she can always pick up on people's feelings to some degree. I won't ever use this in threads unless you give me permission. If you're fine with me using it whenever, feel free to let me know here. If you'd like to fully opt out of it, let me know here as well and she'll find your character a cold spot. Due to canon experiences with that she'll be wary of your character though!
