Necria the Undead

Description

Time for a new character!

She has been sitting in my computer for a few months now.

She is the Second member of team
This number is important because it tells the order of the characters in group pictures and other presentations.


Now what can i say? maybe i should start with the Tech specs for once.

Tech Spec
Name : Necria
Race : Undead (skeleton type)
Class : Necromant Warrior
Weapon : Sword and Scythe
Star Skill : to be determined
Height : i never could figure out this thing.... lets just say she is above average.
Weight : 7KG

Mensuration (believe me, i verified)
Bust : 22
Waist : 7
Hip : 27


The thing about her is that she tends to change class when climbing the undead ranks.
However, she only shifts between Warrior and Necromancer in various proportions depending on the rank. Her current appearance, as seen in the picture, is the last undead rank and it feature the best of both warrior and mage class.
She has some healing magic since she is a necromancer but not to the same point as Devil; however, she has Full Life All. The Marauders are a bit more balanced when it comes to healing magic since each as a bit of it. That way, they can be focused on fighting instead of being stuck as a healer.

One big thing about this character's stats is that her most important stat is her Defense. She got the highest defense of all the characters, even higher than Golem, but that depends on her Rank.

Major Elemental Affinity : Undead (special element)
Minor Elemental Affinity : none

Elemental Resistances
+ 75% Resistance to Darkness
- 100% Resistance to Light.
- 25% Resistance to Fire

Note : Fire attacks reduce her Defense by burning away her skin. The amount of defense reduction is proportional to the strength of the attack : low, mid or high.


Now for her backstory.
She comes from the same village as the 8 previous characters. She had the age ritual so despite being an undead, she does grow up and age. Has a life expectancy of around 200 years.
What else can i say?
Well, her gameplay element is that she start as a basic Skeleton Creature and move up undead ranks each time she finds a Necro stone and use it on a special Altar they need to find. 1 different Altar per Stone. She moves 6 times rank but there are 7 necro stones (just in case the player has a hard time finding one) and they can be used as a full HP/MP heal for her though thats a bad idea to use it as such unless its the extra one.
Her First Treasure is a Fragment of a Necro stone and the player as a side quest where he finds the other fragments over the course of the game.
Ranks goes like such
Skeleton -» Skeleton Fighter -» Skeleton Warrior -» Vampire (skeleton style) -» Lich -» Death Knight -» Queen of the Dead

For references, an undead of a different type (zombie or ghost) would go trough different undead forms but the vampire one is a sort of middle group for all of them, with appearance variation in appearance depending on undead type.

One thing to understand about her, is that since she starts as a basic skeleton undead in armor, she doesn't actually know she is a Girl since she does not have skin or anything, she only has her skeleton for reference and she does not know anything about anatomy, despite being her main feature. Its a funny point. Also goes by the name Necros for that short while.
So that mean that When the player Finds her again, she is at the Vampire rank and it comes at a surprise that she is a woman.
Still, despite her not knowing that she is a woman, a player with a keen eye can see that she still use classic womanly pose and gestures (hand on the hip!) and that the voice she has as a skeleton is a woman's voice, although sound distorted.

Anyway, in the Marauders' flash back, you can play through the parts where she gains her other ranks until she gets to vampire rank.
Her Subsequent Ranks, lich and death knight, show that newfound femininity by featuring partial faces instead of pure bones.
Also, both these ranks show her two classes : lich is a pure necromancer with high magic while Death knight is a pure warrior with high attack. Both have high defense, which is a blessing for the mage.

Queen of the Dead is a particular rank since its a important sidequest and her ultimate form. She needs to travel to the capitol of the dead where she meets the current King of the Dead (hes a ghost type undead btw).
There, to gain access to the final altar, she must challenge him in a 1 on 1 boss fight. When she wins, she gain this appearance of her with this gray skin, composed of corpse ashes (not hers' or anyone else, they spontaneously generate), as a extra layer of defense; also, this form combine the high magic of lich and the high attack of Death Knight.
There, she also meet the inform thing called Death, the physical representation of the concept of death.
Hes a pretty fun and nerdy guy that explains that the reason that the Ruler of the Dead has such a living looking skin is that, as a ruler, it needs to be diplomatic and meet the other races on this planet and as such need a good looking appearance.

He also give his scythe to her (the previous king used it in his boss battle), explaining that since the superstition portrays it with a scythe and hes the representation of it, its obligated to have one. However, it explains that it doesn't actually have any use for it, and so it gives it to the current Ruler.

Afterward its colorful party time!
just to mess with the usual gloom cliché of the undead world.
A bit like the mexican fiesta en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_t…
It would also show in her ending where she goes back to ruling the deads, showing a still shot of her, all dramatic and dark looking on her throne, only so the next image explodes into colors and fiesta and she gets a annoyed expression.

If this game gets a newgame +, you can play as her final and most prominent appearance (the one in the image) since the start.


Lets talk about her appearance.
Technically, she is the only one of the playable characters that is of the Urkan race, despite being the most common. However, since she is an undead, it doesn't show that much, just the two tentacles that jut from the base of her skull.
Also, i asked that the skin show holes so that the viewer can see that between the skin and the bones, its empty. She got no other organ than her bone and skin. She has lips but no tongue or any flesh stopping an attentive viewer from seeing her spine from her mouth.
Her clothes is supposed to have a sort of bone armor.

Her scythe is a mechanical scythe that can rotate the blade, from close to the handle when its folded at 0°, to normal scythe position at 90° to war scythe position at 180° to something new entirely at 270° and then it is blocked by the mechanism and can't go further.
She can shift that angle while in movement and at any time. Some of her combos require many shifts of positions.
Another thing is that her side weapon is a Cinquedea sword/dagger/blade. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinquede… I kinda wanted the five lines but its a minor detail. Its interesting to think that she both use a two hand weapon and a one hand weapon, sometimes at the same time.

Shes a though gal.








Did someone realize the interesting thing about her measurements?
Yes i did verify it, on a skeleton, with someone that knew what measurements are.
