Overview




    Almaeisha Almawt is a ghost walking through centuries of war and renewal. Mute since her throat was torn out in 1500, she communicates through a fluid hybrid of sign-language and ancient hand-mudras. Her movements are deliberate, precise, and silent—each gesture heavy with purpose. She has hunted monsters longer than most civilizations have stood, yet she shows mercy to the innocent and restraint toward the damned. Her eyes betray millennia of grief—but also a flicker of weary compassion.


History


Born in 1476, Jamila was a quiet, gentle and kind girl who grew up the daughter of a successful merchant who specialized in selling the pots & pans that blacksmiths would commission him to sell in other villages, towns and cities. But Baynit Shafrat, Jamila's father, did more than sell cookware. He also made large sums of money and favors selling information and passing information from government officials, other merchants and even underground rebels against those governments or merchants.

Growing up with her father, her mother having died from tuberculosis when she was a child, young Jamila watched carefully as her father taught her who to trust, who to look for, how to change techniques when talking to different cultures, and how to get the information from people who did not want to give it.

Jamila grew and became a partner with her father and together they managed to become the most sought-after information brokers in the three kingdoms. Somehow, they managed to keep their identities a secret from their contacts, never giving their real names or even where they come from.

But playing both sides of any conflict, even a minor one between merchants, is dangerous business and danger finally caught up with Jamila's father when another merchant, from another kingdom, happened to travel through and stop at the same tavern that Hillina's father was meeting with a rival merchant. Before Baynit could talk his way out of this situation, the traveling merchant stabbed Baynit in the chest and then attacked and killed the other merchant.

Jamila, who had avoided this meeting in order to meet with a suitor she had been exchanging letters with over the last year, had no idea any of this was going on until the next morning, waking up after a romantic love-making with her suitor, she went to go find her father.

Grief stricken that she had not been there to defend her father, Jamila left the kingdom and her suitor, in order to seek revenge on the merchant who killed her father.

Several weeks later, on the same day she realized that she was pregnant, she accomplished her mission and killed the merchant who had taken her father from her.

From there, Jamila began to train orphan street children to spy for her as she set up a network that spanned several countries to gather information. On one trip, through România, Jamila, seven months pregnant at the time, was heading back to her rented villa, when she was attacked by Count Drakul Morbius, The Living Vampire.

Left for dead, with her throat torn out, the vampire venom surged through her system and into her child. The unborn baby completely absorbed all the deadly venom and, dying, passed on an immunity to the effects of vampire bites. Her body, now as powerful as the undead, healed itself as best it could, closing her throat, but leaving her with no voice.

Silently wailing for the loss of her child, Jamila vowed to use her new powers to hunt down and destroy all vampires, werewolves, and other creatures of darkness.

From then on, she became known as Almaeisha Almawt, the Living Death.

Fashion & Armor Style


Prefers functional stealth wear: black high-collared adaptive nano-weave coat textured like soft leather, etched with Arabic calligraphy and sigils that only shimmer under moonlight. Beneath it, she wears a reinforced combat bodysuit of alchemical silver-thread. Carries minimal adornment—a single locket with a Qur’an fragment and a lock of her unborn child’s hair.



Gifts


    Accelerated Healing:
    • Almaeisha can rapidly recover from injuries, including deep cuts, punctures, and internal damage. While not capable of regenerating lost limbs, her healing factor allows her to return to combat readiness far faster than a normal human.

    Advanced Longevity:
    • Her hybrid physiology significantly slows aging, allowing her to maintain physical prime over an extended lifespan. She ages at a fraction of the normal human rate, with minimal visible change over decades.

    Aerial Mobility (Winged Flight):
    • In her transformed state, Almaeisha can manifest wing-like structures that enable sustained, high-speed flight. Her aerial control is precise, allowing rapid directional changes and combat maneuvering mid-air.

    Appearance Alteration (Monstrous Shift):
    • She can transition between a controlled human appearance and a more predatory, supernatural form. This transformation enhances her combat capabilities and unlocks additional abilities tied to her vampiric nature.

    Biological Transfer (Contaminant Manipulation):
    • Almaeisha can absorb harmful substances—physical or supernatural—from others into her own system and then transfer or expel them. This allows her to cleanse allies or weaponize those same contaminants against enemies.

    Blood Psychometry:
    • By tasting or interacting with blood, she can perceive emotional and sensory imprints tied to past events. This allows her to reconstruct moments of violence, trauma, or conflict with unsettling clarity.

    Enhanced Agility:
    • Her balance, coordination, and movement precision exceed human limits. She can perform complex acrobatics, rapid directional changes, and fluid combat maneuvers without loss of control.

    Enhanced Durability:
    • Her body can withstand significant physical punishment, including impacts, extreme temperatures, and energy exposure. While not invulnerable, she can endure damage that would incapacitate a normal human.

    Enhanced Reflexes:
    • Almaeisha reacts to threats with exceptional speed and accuracy. She can evade close-range attacks, intercept projectiles, and respond to danger instinctively.

    Enhanced Senses (Multi-Layered Perception):
    • Her senses of sight, hearing, smell, and taste are all heightened beyond human capability. She can track targets over distance, detect subtle environmental changes, and perceive supernatural presences that others cannot.

    Extrasensory Perception (Supernatural Awareness):
    • She possesses a sixth sense that allows her to detect mystical energies, entities, and disturbances. This awareness operates independently of her physical senses and alerts her to hidden threats.

    Gas Form Transformation (Mist State):
    • Almaeisha can dissolve her physical body into a mist-like state. In this form, she can pass through narrow spaces, avoid physical damage, and infiltrate enclosed areas. She can also invade other beings’ internal space, disrupting them from within.

    Healing Transfer (Restorative Bite):
    • Through controlled contact, she can deliver restorative properties stored in her system to others. This allows her to stabilize or heal allies by transferring energy or purified biological material.

    Immunity to Traditional Weaknesses:
    • Unlike full supernatural predators, Almaeisha is not affected by common vulnerabilities such as sunlight, symbolic deterrents, or specialized materials. She can operate freely without the limitations typically associated with her kind.

    Regeneration:
    • Her body continuously repairs itself at an elevated rate. This passive recovery complements her accelerated healing, ensuring resilience during prolonged engagements.

    Self-Exorcism:
    • Almaeisha can forcibly expel foreign entities attempting to possess or control her. Even when partially compromised, she can maintain autonomy and purge invasive influences.

    Self-Sustenance (Blood Replacement Dependency):
    • While she does not require traditional feeding, her body depends on a specialized substitute to maintain stability. This sustenance regulates her physiology and prevents loss of control.

    Superhuman Speed:
    • She can move at speeds exceeding human perception in short bursts, allowing her to close distance instantly or evade attacks before they fully register.

    Superhuman Strength:
    • Her physical strength allows her to overpower most opponents, break restraints, and deliver forceful strikes capable of significant structural damage.

    Superhuman Stamina:
    • Her endurance allows sustained physical exertion for extended periods without fatigue. She remains combat-effective long after normal limits would be reached.

    Supernatural Combat Instinct:
    • Her predatory nature grants her an instinctive understanding of combat, threat assessment, and lethal efficiency. She reacts not just with training, but with ingrained survival behavior.

    Limited Sorcery (Ritual Magic):
    • Almaeisha possesses a narrow but functional grasp of magic, primarily focused on containment, binding, and suppression of supernatural entities. Her use of magic is deliberate and controlled rather than expansive.

    Shapeshifting (Animal Forms):
    • She can transform into select predatory or evasive animal forms, enhancing mobility, stealth, or intimidation depending on the situation.

Weaknesses


    Almaeisha Almawt has one weakness shared by all vampires. The thirst for fresh blood. However, early in her vampiric life, she saved the Hidden Cities of the Kanderosi from being discovered. There the Order of the Red Room of the Inhumans All-Caste gifted her with specially forged weapons, the Soultaker Blades, that would grant her the ability to gain vengeance on all vampires. A side benefit of the Soultaker Blades, are every person (monster, demon, human, undead) the blades take down, the blades will transfer their life-energy into her, slaking her thirst and quenching her desire for fresh blood.

Pregnancy: Due to the loss of her baby, and the change to her body, Almaeisha can never again get pregnant.

Red Sun Radiation: While she is not affected by normal (yellow) sunlight, Almaeisha is vulnerable to sunlight from a red star, which is able to burn her skin. Longer exposure to red sunlight can be fatal. Interestingly, this means that at sunrise and sunset, when the sun looks red, the radiation/light spectrum is the same as a Red Star and can be fatal to her.

Electronics: While she is able to understand and drive/fly vehicles, she finds today's technology to be beyond her. Computers and smartphones are confusing to her and she shows no desire to learn how to use them.




Weapons


Motorcycle

Costume Specifications: Synthetic fabric which has been augmented to be highly resistant to damage from small magic and high temperatures. Microscopic gecko-pads on her costume allow her to scale walls and cling to ceilings.

Personal Weaponry: Almaeisha Almawt's gauntlets have wrist cartridges containing various tools of the trade: employs silver, garlic, sunlight, ultraviolet rays and anticoagulants; Holy-Water pellets, a sonic transmitter (useful against werewolves) and spring-loaded silver cable (laced in garlic).

Special Weaponry: Various automatic weapons and firearms (loaded with silver bullets, garlic-filled hollow points, etc.), and the Soultaker Blades. She also uses a device often referred to as Death's Sting that is capable of emitting highly potent electric shocks with a maximum of about 30,000 volts that can burn even a vampire.



Equipment


Soultaker Blades: The Soultakers, twin blades, were forged in the 14th century by the Order of the Red Room, whose swords were said to be Blessed and make those who were wronged commit vengeful acts. Their unique construction seems to be a blending of all that monster, demon, human, and undead fear. A very brief scan of it by The Engineer showed that is had the same properties as silver, garlic, wood, and (stranger than all) holy water. Even the wood component was unlike anything on record until Genesis was able to confirm that it was a long splinter of the Cross of Jesus.

Trivia
(Physical Features/Speaking Voice/Likely Vocabulary/Characteristics/Mannerisms)

Mute: She is mute. When she was bitten by Drakul Morbius, it was in the throat, and he ripped out her larynx so she could not scream. Though she has healed, her larynx did not regrow and she wears a scarf or high-necked outfits to hide the terrible scar that will not heal.
