-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Superhuman Strength: Lady Death possesses some degree of superhuman strength. She is capable of using his magical powers to augment her strength, enabling her to lift well in excess of 100 tons.
Superhuman Speed: Lady Death is capable of running and moving at speeds greater than even the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Stamina: The various mystical energies flowing through Lady Death's body augments her musculature so that it generates virtually no fatigue toxins during physical activity. As a result, Lady Death possesses almost limitless superhuman stamina.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of Lady Death's body, while similar in appearance to a human's, are considerably tougher and more resistant to injury than the tissues of a human being. Lady Death's body is virtually invulnerable to conventional injury. She is capable of withstanding great impact forces, high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her superhuman durability, it is possible to injure Lady Death. However, her unique physiology and mystical energies enable her to rapidly recover from almost any form of injury. She is capable of regenerating almost any damaged or destroyed tissue, even missing limbs.
Immortality: As a demon, Lady Death is functionally immortal. She is immune to the effects of aging and is immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. Lady Death is also beyond the need of food, water, or oxygen.
Magical Manipulation: She can use this magical energy for various effects, among which are the augmentation of her own physical strength, levitation, teleportation, the projection of mystical energy as force blasts, invisibility, matter manipulation, image projection, size transformation of her body or other objects or beings, the creation of temporary interdimensional apertures, and so on.
Death: Death itself can liberate the soul or spirit of a living being but generally leaves this task to the various beings of the afterlife, such as the Valkyries, Hela, or Doorman. Because Death is the embodiment of all death, every lost soul belongs to it, so the agent of passage is irrelevant. Death can also reverse that passage and return a being to life, but that rarely happens. Death itself cannot die, since it is not truly alive; the basic laws of the universe would have to change to erase death.
Immortality: Death can choose to ignore certain beings, possibly as a mark of respect for their ability to survive. The Elders of the Universe fall into this category. Other beings with the proper knowledge, such as the Sorcerer Supreme, can challenge Death directly; by succeeding at this challenge, they become immune to true death.
Soothing Appearance: If Death manifests itself to a mortal being in its final moments, it may take the form of a loved one.
Learned Abilities: Weapons Master: Her skills with weapons mainly focus on the use of bladed weapons the one and two handed sword.
Equipment: the chaos blade, Death's scythe, slso has a sword that can turn into a kusarigama
Weaknesses (Must Have): her mothers soul she would do anything if someone had it, and casting her though heaves gate would kill her
Background: Lady Death (or Hope, her original name) began 'life' in Europe during the medieval era. Her father, Matthias, was a sorcerer of great power as well as a feudalistic warlord. Matthias was also a 666th generation descendant of the fallen angels, a strong contrast to Hope's mother, Marion, who was of such purity that her bloodline reached all the way to heaven. Before her marriage to Matthias, Marion was married to the Viking Agnar, to whom she bore two daughters, Vulnavia and Vandala, previously unknown sisters of Hope. Marion's attempts to escape Matthias' brutality proved ineffectual and led to her murder at his hands. He, in turn, captured her soul for use in maintaining a gate to hell.
Matthias' aspirations for power included deals made with demonic overlords in Hell. In exchange for the souls of the newly dead, which were harvested through constant warfare, the overlords granted the sorcerer power. The constant battles eventually even claimed the life of Hope's beloved, Niccolo, who had taught her medical knowledge from distant places. It was when the plague struck the town in which Hope lived that she was forced to put this knowledge to use by saving the life of Agnes, the only friend she had. The town's church leaders saw this display and declared it unchristian. The town declared her a witch and prepared to burn her at the stake. Meanwhile, the townspeople found Matthias cavorting with demons and after a bloody struggle managed to kill the sorcerer. Unfortunately, it was their hatred he had sought all along, as it was the key to his ascension to power in hell.
Sentenced to an unjust death, Hope renounced her humanity, allowing demons to transport her to Hell. There she met Lucifer, who offered her power and the advice that in hell, desire equals power. Her response was to spit in his face. He cast her into a pit, where she fought to tame two demonic wolves, which would be her companions in times to come.
Meanwhile, Matthias had lead a great army against Lucifer and apparently vanquished the prince of lies. As the ruler of hell, his first action was to hunt down and kill his daughter. Hope had in the meantime decided to fight for herself and, renouncing her name, took on the name of Lady Death. With the help of the demonic blacksmith, Cremator, Lady Death fought and overcame hordes of demons only to face Matthias and learn that Lucifer was still alive. Lucifer had set out to create a creature of darkness from a pure soul such as Hope, and had engineered the entire war in hell to accomplish this task. Matthias' soul was locked away as Lucifer revealed the intricate plot he had weaved.
As he had revealed to Hope, in hell desire equals power, and Lady Death took this lesson to heart as she battled Lucifer. Angry at being used for mere 'amusement', Lady Death desired nothing so much as the death of Lucifer. After a fierce battle, she struck the mortal blow which apparently killed Lucifer. With his dying breath, he cursed Lady Death to never again walk the Earth until all life on that planet was extinguished.
Her solution was a pragmatic one. She would wipe out all life on Earth. Hell itself was transformed into a gigantic graveyard where Lady Death ruled supreme. For four hundred years she attempted to wipe out humanity until at last she met Ernest Fairchild. He proved to be her most loyal and destructive servant ever, and at last her goal seemed to be approaching completion.
Hell was then turned upside down as the vampiric goddess, Purgatori, attempted to defeat Lady Death and take her god-like blood as a prize. It soon became apparent that Lucifer was still alive and well, having concocted an incredibly complex scheme to further evil through Lady Death. By aiding the destruction of life on Earth, Lady Death had performed splendidly for the Prince of Lies. Lady Death was completely overcome by Lucifer and her demonic side emerged, creating Lady Demon. This demonic incarnation cast Purgatori out to Earth and became Lucifer's consort.
This did not last however, as Marion's spirit contacted Lady Demon and Lady Death returned to her senses. Absorbing her mother's angelic powers, Lady Death returned to battle Lucifer. This time her defeat seemed certain, until she remembered a transdimensional portal known as Heaven's Gate was said to destroy creatures of pure darkness. With her last strength, Lady Death managed to kick the dark prince through the portal, effectively destroying him.
Weakened, Lady Death found ruling Hell far more difficult. Lucifer's defeat was said to foretell the Judgment Era of the Fallen Angels, but Lady Death merely wished to return home to Earth. Before she got to test the theory she was cast out of Hell through the vile cunning plans of Pagan, the court jester of Hell. She ended up floating in a void known as the Unknown, a place where all theologies coexist.
For a brief time she returned to Earth through the efforts of Evil Ernie. The curse proved yet effective, and she was forced to bid her emissary farewell. Returned to the void, she was unknowingly sent on a series of missions by Vandala to prove that she was the chosen one to save the Asgardian people from Genocide. Having completed the missions successfully and having destroyed a demon seeking vengeance for Lucifer's death, Lady Death went with Vandala to Asgard, where she began to learn the true nature of her existence, but was also forced to battle to save Asgard, and reality itself, from the forces of Genocide...
Personality : Lady Death is truly evil, she shows no mercy or passion and is always dispassionate and cold. She has a very sick and twisted sense of humor she and has a short temper if she gives you an oder you follow it to the death or face her wraith. As Hope she's kinder but has a bit of a temper as she hasn't been human for hundreds of years and is more use to dealing with demons then humans.
