Diana Bp62412 (Dropped)

Diana regularly drinks the stolen blood of vampires. So long as she's got any in her system, she has immense strength, incredible senses, instant reflexes and indomitable endurance.

Vampires draw upon the power of their blood for their ability to instantly regenerate from nearly any wound, Diana has learned to replicate that using stolen blood; although for her it's not the reflexive power it is for them. By concentrating on recovery and spending some of the vampire blood in her system, she can regenerate from any wound that doesn't within a minute. Of course, she has only so much stolen blood, and the worse the wound the more it takes; and concentrating on recovery means she has to be conscious for this recovery to take place. Any blood not connected to her mind is unavailable for such healing, which makes losing large chunks of body especially unlikely for her to be able to recover from on the spot; even if she were able to maintain consciousness. Anything that doesn't kill her can be recovered from eventually, however, though it might require assistance to secure the vampire blood necessary to deal with that level of injury.

The powers of the blood vary, so long as Diana has blood within her system drawn from someone who fuels his or her powers with blood. Diana can replicate one such power that she has witnessed being used by the source of the blood. Doing so requires spending some of that particular blood, and the more powerful the ability the more blood it takes.

Diana can spend some the blood taken from quite a common kind of vampire to take on traits normally associated with certain animals. Claws and fangs of predatory beasts, the echolocation of bats and the smell of wolves.

Many urban vampires have a supernatural way with people. By drawing upon the blood of such a vampire, Diana can grant herself a kind of superhuman focus; naturally drawing the eye of people. While doing so, she can double down and use more of that blood to charm people, encouraging to think of her as their best friend and confidante.

Diana has three weapons dedicated to her job; while all are designed to exploit common vampire weakness, they should prove effective even against other targets. The first is a railgun that fires wooden stakes with magnetic core. It's a high power long-range rifle with scope that takes some time to charge. Effective for sniping, less useful in close combat engagements. The second is a one-handed flame-thrower. The last is a heavy mace covered in a thin film of blessed water, with a reservoir that replenishes any lost water.

Diana's tools allow her to keep hunting vampires. The most notable of these is special syringe that allows her to extract and preserve the blood of her prey for future use, without coagulating and losing its potency as such blood normally does. Besides that she has a workbench to maintain her weaponry, and a small laboratory that lets her do thorough biochemical analysis of samples she brings in, along with a skilled AI which guides her and gives her actually useful data from the analysis; though if working on unusual off-world anatomy it needs reference materials from that world to give any in-depth analysis.

Diana's hatred of vampires has roots in a system of predation and oppression that turns humans into somewhere in between glorified lifestock and slaves. It's unfortunate that even in her own world not all vampires share culpability for that, and outside they don't. Her inability to recognize that on an innate level means she's going to treat vampires with overt hostility on first impression, and is likely to resort to violence when she has reason to believe they are in the middle of harming someone or about to. With time, individual vampires may overcome this prejudice, if they're willing to put in the effort for someone who clearly hates them.

Diana usually goes to bed around nine in the morning, and doesn't get up until the late afternoon. As such, when needing to act during proper daytime hours she's often groggy, more irritable, less observant and slower to respond. This is especially true if she needs to act like this on short notice; but even when she's had time to prepare it still impacts her. There is no supernatural component to this, however.

Diana has learned the hard way that caring too much about specific people can be a weakness. Rather than accepting this fact and being more careful, however, she simply chose not to let people get close to her. To push people away. Even if that means rejecting useful allies. Even if that means hurting the feelings of people who have done nothing to deserve that.

Diana's method of fighting back gives her access to some of the powers of her enemies without most of the drawbacks. Unfortunately, for reasons she doesn't understand, the weakness to the application of sacred implements and methods remains. For any ability or power that specifically hurts demons, evil spirits, or similar; Diana qualifies. Furthermore, any injury inflicted upon her while standing in any kind of holy ground is substantially more severe.
