Name: Ladist Korth
Age: unknown, though it is assumed that she is the second oldest of the mages
Gender: assumed confirmed female
Race: assumed human


Looks: 
her rusty brown hair was once black. She has piercing red orange serpentine eyes that will glow darker when under the magical influence. A strange glowing spiral tattoo will also appear when she is using her magic. It is assumed that this is a mark of her change. She stands at 5'6 and weighs 123lbs. She wears a white robe and a dark violet hooded cape as well as her old battle Mage armor

Abilities:
:bulletred: Control over the blood in living and dead things- Extent unknown
thanks to all the hubbub, it is unknown to all others just how powerful her control over blood is. there floats rumors that she can boil people with their own blood or that she can pull it out of their bodies and burst vessels and have them bleed out or drown.
       To those with the same skill as her (limited to other judges)... She can manipulate the blood in their body to a certain extent. She prefers to keep them rooted for a few seconds or cause them to move in a way that she can use to her advantage. In these cases, Ladist will rely on her physical ability, using her magic in quick bursts to cause them to stumble or make a crucial mistake...

Ladist can also use any blood she can control to her advantage... anything from an entire battle field full to just her own to a mouse's.
:bulletred: Weapons
In a pinch, Ladist can create a temporary weapon out of blood. While they do not block effectively, they are stunningly resilient and resemble their metal counterparts quite well. These weapons can range from daggers (which she has been seen using before) to scythes (which is just a rumor at this current moment in time) to a garrote wire. Ladist works to expand her control over this and quickly improves.
:bulletred: Healing 
Ladist heals from injuries relatively quickly... she can also use her control to minimally heal others... for example, she can scab deep cuts or (non)lethal stabs with ease. Difficulty scales. She rarely heals those outside herself.


Personality:
Every word she utters and every emotion she reveals is used as a means to an end, to herd those around her and have them bend to her. 

Ladist is a crafty individual, a strategist. She cares not of the process as long as it effectively gains the result she desires. Ladist is often criticized for being merciless, but she merely does not care of the cost of her actions... however, the less loss, the better. Whatever the situation, the Mage always seems to have a back up plan to the back up plan of the back up plans back up plan. Her tactician prowess is her most defining trait, and while she does not like small losses, she will accept them in stride and continue to fight on another day. She feels that her fellows, while skilled, are bumbling idiots. She is a hunter that takes her time to exact the perfect strike at the perfect time. Most think of her as a bit of a sly control freak who enjoys speaking in riddles... they're not wrong at all.

Strengths:
:bulletred: Planning and anticipating others moves
:bulletred: High magical prowess
:bulletred: Unemotional
:bulletred: Calculating 
:bulletred: Able to manipulate and read others easily
:bulletred: Skilled in the use of double daggers (she was a battle mage)

Weaknesses:
:bulletblack: does not take major loss well
:bulletblack: does not trust those that she cannot understand... in fact she just doesn't trust anyone.
:bulletblack: has many tells (they include:  smirk- 'everything is going perfectly', picks at her fingernails- 'deep in thought, something feels wrong', playing with her own blood- 'uneasy, mistakes were made')
:bulletblack: while under full control of another persons/group of persons blood, Ladist is near defenseless as it requires a large amount of energy and concentration (it varies with the ability, the magical strength/protect of the individual or group, and Ladist's current state of health)
:bulletblack: tends to ignore her injuries under duress due to her healing factor, after all, there is often more important things on her mind.

Likes:
facts and information
exploiting people's weaknesses
when everything goes according to her plan
getting leverage
confusing others
tea (preferably Darjeeling, Earl Grey, or Green Tea)
sweet foods
chess
she still enjoys watching storms and lightning. In a storm, people may often catch a glimpse of Ladist taking a walk, no matter how bad the weather seems. 

Dislikes:
tea (herb tea. blech... and sweet teas)
betrayal
not getting the information she needs to know on time
tight pants
the concept of DESTINY

History:
Written in history books and fables long worn out, Ladist was once a highly-regarded battle mage. Her magical command over the element of storm at such a young age was commendable and she was a fearsome tactical opponent, rarely losing her battles. She had the most potential to become the general of her army. It is said that she was instead caught unawares by the enemy, betrayed by her ally who was determined to climb the ladder of military power. Her battalion was cut off from the main body, surrounded by enemy forces. All of them were slaughtered, though she had managed to escape death thanks to the bravery and loyalty of her company. The loss however devastated her strong spirit and corrupted her morals. Ladist disappeared off the face of the earth. In her fall, she abandoned her ability over the storms in favor of something much more powerful and much more dark.

Coaxed by fallen gods and dangerous demons, Ladist turned down a crimson-soaked path. 

She returned to her command in the army which was now under the control of the very person who had stabbed her in the back. No one thought her any stranger or any different from before, though many now say that they remember seeing a crazed light in her eye. Ladist bided her time, slowly crawling to a place of dominance through death. 

Once she had skillfully murdered her way to the position of right-hand, it is relayed that she confronted her once ally... and proceeded to slow the flow of the blood in her body, savoring as she suffocated and writhed on the cold ground... before removing her blood and using it to murder everyone in the army.

That day, the halls were coated crimson.

These are all stories, of course. There are many versions of this and countless other tales. The story above however is known as the most accurate history of Ladist Korth.

Warrior preference:  
the crafty and the ambitious. 

Relationship to other mages: 
Acknowledgement of their power and mocking respect. 

:bulletgreen: NATURE- Tochoa strikes her as naive, ignorant to the changing times. It is slow in intellectual build up, but it is also quite interesting to listen to when she has the patience; it can be a well of information if she can sit through a game of chess with it... It doesn't hurt that it brings her the most wondrous of teas

:bulletpink: ASTRAL- She finds Sera to be a little too blindly arrogant. Ladist does admire the Astral Mages adaptability, no matter how stubborn and painfully prideful... A fickle idiot, but easy enough to predict.

:bulletpurple: SPIRIT- She despises Kaal, who she finds inexperienced. She does, however, acknowledge that he can be a useful tool at times. However, Ladist rarely manipulates him. (Mostly because it's just too simple... And because the rest of the time, he manages to screw up a part of her plan
