Si ça t'irritait, mon vieux, je peux arrêter... mais alors, comment t'appellerais-je? Apophis a dit, quand Xerxes semblait être énervée par sa façon d'appeler, même si elle l'a fait depuis autant de temps qu'elle l'a été avec le Salut.
Cependant, elle est restée silencieuse, car Xerxès a expliqué les tâches qu'il fallait prendre soin de lui. Ce n'est qu'après qu'il eut terminé son discours qu'Apophis leva la main gauche, pointant sur la capitale impériale : « Je veux aller à la capitale, mais je n'y suis jamais allé seule, alors je me disais si Sol ou Sayu voudraient venir avec moi? Le vieil homme a dit que ce sera plus facile si nous allons sur celui-ci, après tout."
Après avoir exprimé son intérêt, Apophis se tut de nouveau, attendant la réponse de ses compagnons tout en léchant les doigts comme d'habitude.
Name:
Apophis
Nickname/Alias:
Snake of Paradise
Gender:
Female
Age:
26
Personality:
Creepy, is perhaps the first word to come to one's mind, when they think about Apophis and, actually, that's not a bad way to describe her.
Usually, Apophis keeps to herself, doing whatever is it that pleases her at the time. When she interacts with someone else, generally it's through ominous sounding phrases and meaningful glances.
Yet, there's something alluring, almost... erotic, about Apophis. Perhaps, it's her perky goth looks, her penetrating stare, or the way that she moves around (with that habit of licking her fingers the whole time), or perhaps, it's all of these things together that give Apophis the aura of ophidian danger and sexiness that she's better know by.
History/Bio:
The history of the being known as Apophis is shrouded in mystery. Pretty much nothing is known of her early childhood, considering that even Apophis can't remember said period.
Apophis' first real memory and the first known official register about her, is of waking up, dressed in hags, on a test facility covered from head to toes in the blood and gore of several corpses that were scattered around her. Furthermore, her right eye was missing and on its place laid the cursed relic that would give Apophis her name and infamous powers, the Eye of the Serpent Lord.
Without knowing who she was, who those people were and what their objective was, Apophis was left to roam the land, clinging to the only thing that she still had, her life. And she did so, with lethal consequences to those who threatened to take it from her, until she came across an attack party belonging to Salvation that, instead of trying to kill her for her unspeakable powers, took her in and offered the empty girl the chance to do something more of her life other than survive.
Apophis ended taking the chance and joined the group from that day forward, under the condition that they would try to find more about her origins and who was responsible for giving her that cursed eye.

Weapons/Items:
Apophis' only noteworthy possession is a silver cross pendant that she had with her when she woke up on the facility. It has some initials engraved on it, but Apophis could never find out what it means.
Armor:
None.
Imperial Arms:
Eye of the Serpent Lord: This fake eye has a snake-like pupil and might look creepy, though normal at first sight. For the owners to have any benefits from its power, they have to sacrifice one of their own eyes. However, with great sacrifice comes great power, in form of a host of minor gifts that can be summed up in the phrase "The user becomes a human serpent".
Aside boosting the user's strength and toughness to the point were they are able to resist otherwise lethal wounds and rip their foe to shreds with their bare hands using the strength of the great constrictor snakes, the Eye also:
- Enhances the user's senses, including infrared vision;
- Gives the user an hypnotic gaze;
- Makes the user immune all but the most vicious poisons and toxins.
However, for all of it's seemingly great powers, the Eye also has a huge disadvantage, all of the user's bodily fluids become a powerful neurotoxin, capable of killing even the mightiest warriors with a small dose.
