THIS:
Nation Nickname: Swith
Character Name (can be different than nation name): Captain Minerva Blackwater
URL to Character Picture or a few sentences about what they look like: Here
Character Species (nation personification, human, alien, etc): Cursed Immortal; host to Keeper of Secrets. (Former human)
Character Powers/Special Abilities (if any): Minerva can also utilize dark spheres and twist dark matter. She has extremely limited morphing abilities and assuming another form will cause her to die much faster. Minerva is a master of Time. Like Klaus, she can travel through pipes, jump into coffee cups and appear elsewhere - but the whole idea is "absolutely absurd" (her opinion) so she refrains from it.
General Cultist Abilities: Immune to the laws of physics so she appears to vanish into shadows, etc.; able to traverse dimensions and "Between"; telepathic ties with fellow cultists, daemons and gods. The daemon prevents telepathic attacks, allows her to look upon Eldritch without going insane, and grants her immunity to magic. She possesses certain magical items which also serve to protect her.
Other: Pilot; specializes hand to hand combat, throwing weapons, whip.
Character Weaknesses/Flaws: dies every 12 hours when her daemon departs to revitalize itself. She can't be healed by magic. "Chaos" can harm her if they recognize what she is. Use of specific powers (spheres, dark matter manipulation) speeds up death cycle as the daemon's energy is more quickly depleted. She exists outside of Time ergo being in the flow of it takes effort.
Character Background: Please note... this is going to be lengthy because I'm incorporating a bit of Cer's character, Klaus, into it. Consider it a partial joint-effort.
Minerva was born in India in 1918. That was the year the Flu Pandemic began its deadly spread. Her father, Basil Blackwater, was an officer in the Brisith Navy. He died before her birth and her mother succumbed to the flu a month before her due date. Minerva, named after her own mother, was placed on the dead woman's body shortly after delivery; she wasn't expected to live. Fate had other plans. Minerva spent her early years in a Catholic orphanage before being sent to relatives in London.
Britain declared war on Germany in 1939, and Minerva rose to the challenge. She was assigned as a Special Operations Executive (SOE) in 1940, and her job was espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance in occupied Europe against the Axis powers, and to aid local resistance movements. She specialized in underground railroads to move supplies (and fleeing Jews) in Nazi-occupied territories. Her assignment also brought her to the attention of Maximilian Klaus, a notorious Einsatzgruppe officer (Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary death squads of Nazi Germany) who was often hindered by her determination to protect Jews.
Klaus seemed maniacal in his desire to murder Minerva, wasting untold resources in an insane attempt to eradicate her and her "lads". He gave her the monicker unsterblich Miststück (loosely translated: Deathless Bitch) although he secretly admired her tenacity and drive. She was finally captured while freeing elderly "rats" from a rail car, and Klaus was alerted and boarded a train to finally "put a bullet into her head". Tragically, he never had that opportunity. Minerva fought to protect an elderly woman despite overwhelming forces, and her "churlish" behavior resulted in rape and sodomy of both her and the woman. She was used up and left for dead in a horse stall. Her final moments of life were spent curled around the woman in an effort to comfort her.
The condition of his worst enemy caused Klaus to psychologically snap. He'd seen many horrors but nothing had left him prepared for what they'd done to Minerva. To this day, he has never told her how she came to be possessed by a Greater Daemon, or how life was restored to her, but she was a cursed thing now beholden to Chaos. She also discovered that Klaus wasn't what people thought, and she joined him in secretly undermining Nazi Germany although she loathed him for what he was.
Minerva worked her way up through Chaos ranks until she was the leading cultist in charge of her god's forces. Her work (and Chaos' influence over Mankind throughout history) has meant that she has walked in the distant past as well as the far future. Prior to her current assignment, Minerva was Chaos' top god killer.
She was brought to the current timeline by Swith, an avatar of her god, and set to work in infiltrating the city, ferreting out enemy movements and organizing Chaos forces. Her lads are fiercely loyal to her and assist her in her efforts. Her most recent events brought her face to face with Yellow King as well as the Drone Empire. (It should be noted that in a prior RP on a another forum, Minerva and Klaus where charged with killing Cthulhu. After they finished him, they worked their way down the list of Great Old Ones, sparing Azathoth and leaving off with Nctosa and Nctolhu in order to work for Swith.)
Her rank of Captain is merely a term of respect. She is, by nature of her death, asexual (despite Klaus' damn efforts to court her). The irony is that she the top cultist for the God of Lust and Hedonism.

One paragraph that sums up your character. This paragraph is what we'll use on your player tab on the first page of the thread. This MUST be brief. Your tab will contain a link to your application so people will have full details:
Minerva Blackwater is the cultist leader for Slaaneshi forces stationed in Bielefeld. She works directly for Charumati Thriller, who is an avatar of the Chaos god. She is no-nonsense (for the most part.)
