Scarlet
Name: Scarlett
Region: Crimson Machina
Race: Vampire
Archetype: Bruiser
Element: Water
Age: unknown (appearance 20’s)
Appearance: Scarlett is adorned in Victorian-era attire, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her clothes are often dark and richly detailed, befitting her noble status. When she succumbs to her blood thirst, her appearance becomes wild and disheveled, with torn clothes and a feral look in her eyes. Preferably white/platinum hair.
Backstory: Scarlett hails from a lineage of great nobility, a family of vampires who have ruled the shadows for centuries. In the new age, where gears and steam power the lives of many, Scarlett and her kin stand apart, denouncing the rise of technology. They believe fervently in the old magic, a powerful force that only vampires like them can wield.
As the leader of her vampire clan, Scarlett strives to maintain an air of nobility and grace, embodying the elegance and sophistication expected of her status. However, beneath this composed exterior lies a fierce and primal nature. When overwhelmed by her blood thirst, Scarlett’s demeanor shatters, and she transforms into a savage monster of the night. In these moments, her clothes tear as she hunts for blood, driven by an insatiable hunger.
Personality:
Noble and Graceful: Scarlett carries herself with the poise and dignity befitting her noble heritage.
Traditionalist: She holds a deep disdain for technology, believing in the supremacy of old magic.
Savage: When her blood thirst takes over, Scarlett becomes a fearsome predator, losing all semblance of her refined self.
Motifs: Victorian Elegance with hints of bat wings in her attire. Black/Red/White as primary colors
Examples below: Gothic themed outfits that have a seducing design.
Passive: Heals for 0.1% attack per basic attack. Scarlet does 40% more damage at full health lowering as she loses health to 0% at 10% or less health. Scarlett gains stacks of blood hunger for each target affected by bleed stacking up to 8 times. (Note, these stacks do not go away once the bleed effect ends)
Ability (Slash): Range 1 Hex.
Scarlett fires out a wave of blood magic in an arc in front of her costing 5% of her health dealing 40% magic attack damage. Scarlett is healed for 3% of her health for each target hit.
(Ability health cost cannot cause her to go below 10% health). Applies bleeding for an additional 20% of Scarlett's magic attack damage over 4 seconds.
Example - Blood and bat winged themed particles and effects.
Special: Scarlett loses herself to her blood thirst. Consumes all stacks of blood hunger to become enraged increasing attack speed by 10% per stack of blood hunger. Passive effects are doubled during this duration. Lasts 8 seconds.
Special Animation: Scarlett enters a blood frenzy and begins swinging much more rapidly with her hands and nails. Character is slightly transformed so the model will require glowing eyes, removal of outer clothing attire and attack animation to have VFX to represent fast and powerful swipes. Upon ending of duration Scarlett will transform back and magically recover her outer layer of clothing. Special Cut Scene:
Should frame on Scarlett’s lips baring fangs and licking lips and pull back to red glowing eyes. Camera then goes black and the sound of clothing tearing.
Camera shows full pose of Scarlett smiling with terrifying glee as she rips away her outer layer of clothes and prepares to rampage.
EDIT additional notes: Scarlett should have qualities of pride and confidence. From staging to animations, she should show confidence in her movements, seducing expressions, and arrogance in her posture and attacks. She believes she is better than everyone. Despite being a bruiser she attacks with magic. This means her attacks can be with effortless swing of her hand, gaze or an otherwise non lethal weapon.
Example of weapons:

When in her blood thirst form. She will lose her composure and change to more aggressive intentional attacks like swinging her hands and claws at her opponents. Her transformation should have elements of seduction mixed with horror.
Final note: While we want to keep the theme of Victorion style, do feel free to dip into the more Gothic side as many of the characters of this world are inspired by popular gothic monsters and myths with this character being an important figure representing this in her world.
