THE BLOOD MAIDEN
The
blood maiden is an extremely powerful spirit, bound to a small (and
apparently indestructible) figurine. She is, as far as is possible to
tell, a ghost bound with powerful magic that is related to the various
vampire and lycanthrope curses. The favoured theory as to her origin is
that she was a witch who bound herself with strange blood magic into a
figurine.
When
immersed in a large quantity of blood (the requirement seems to be the
blood of 100 completely drained victims), the figurine reshapes it into a
larger version of itself, and the blood maiden takes a human form.
Though she appears human, she is made of blood, and as such is
incredibly difficult to kill (see below). In addition, she possesses
incredible strength and agility, making her a deadly opponent even when
unarmed.
Both
in human form and when a figurine, she has moderate telepathy, and is
able to talk to sensitive individuals and those of her followers who are
attuned to her. She also possesses minor mind control abilities that
allow her to, over time, manipulate someone into becoming her ‘high
priest’, and preparing the ritual that allows her to return time and
time again.
Her
human form is an incredibly beautiful, black haired woman. When engaged
in 1978 she favoured firearms, and had prepared many of her followers
such that she could, when needed, drag the blood from them to heal
herself. We have reason to believe that she is capable of other, similar
blood rites.
As
she is made of incredibly dense blood, normal gunfire is highly
ineffective, as is any melee weapon that isn’t a power tool. Anything
capable of piercing through her merely elicits a blood spatter, and
deals little lasting damage. Severing her limbs (a difficult task) is
the most effective way of depleting her blood; as the limb will dissolve
into dead blood soon after severance.
She
was defeated in 1978 after being pinned with a tractor, and then slowly
dismembered with a chainsaw. She is believed inactive, as following the
1978 incident, the figurine was buried deep within the earth after it
was found to be indestructible.
In
2003, a team tasked with recovering the figure to reattempt its
destruction was unable to find it. As such, this report on her
capabilities and what she is has been compiled and added as an addendum.
In
summary, the Blood Maiden is a highly dangerous individual, who should
only be engaged by a heavily equipped, and prepared, team. Her
followers, however, will only increase in number slowly, and are human.
This makes her a low priority threat.
