Personality: In short, Sapphire Lupin can be rather snooty and stuck up with the strong belief that she, as well as her sisters, is far superior to everyone else. She does not use contractions when she speaks and tries her best to keep what she says 'proper' for day to day conversation. She acts like royalty and expects to be treated as such and if you don’t well she will just leave and not talk to you then because that’s just sort of how Sapphire works. She is easily the most beautiful of the Lupin sister and boy oh boy does she have this habit of drawing unsespecting men to her.
That’s right, Sapphire does enjoy twisting weaker minded fools into thinking they have a chance before shooting them down gun to a duck. Many people are unsuspecting of this though, because at first Sapphire comes off as completely fine, and very polite. However, very slowly people start to realize there is something off about this seemingly perfect member of the Lupin family.
The formal young woman is quite the talker most of the time, though the things she says are quite unsettling. She won’t be afraid to tell someone how it is even if it scares them for she believes that no one should be shielded from the truth no matter how much it damages them. Of course, the hypocritical side of this, is Sapphire is an excellent Liar and if she is on the job, she can easily silver tounge her way through any conversation and convince virtually anyone or anything or anything. She is just that charismatic, she is the popular girl at school that no one believes is mean or cruel until they find out the hard way.
Sapphire also has this thing with perfection and because of her unhinged nature, she gets a little, irritable if she doesn’t have things her way. If things don’t go her way then she will make them go her way, if she doesn’t look perfect then she will force herself to look perfect at no matter what the cost. If everything starts hurting then she will make it stop hurting. Her drive for greatness and perfection is a much of a virtue as it is a curse, on one hand, she will always get everything done well not matter what she does, the and thing is no one knows what that sort of thing will cost.
During her time in the labs, Fusionist succeed in breaking the young woman's mind, making her quite the psychopath, but not in the psychotic killer sense, more like in the cool calculating criminal sense with a far more twisted edge Her mind was broken a long time ago and despite her families best efforts to aide her Sapphire doesn’t look like she wants to put put it back together again.. Sapphire has a strong belief that everything she does is right and completely justifiable by the laws that she has set up for herself. Sapphire will not hesitate to horribly maim someone, torture them or anything that involves violence really as long as she gets paid for it somehow. Even gaining some gruesome inspiration for her next painting that she will no doubt gain a lot of money for. (or at least she hopes so)
The one thing Sapphire holds above all else, though, is family. She believes that she is truly the only person that knows what is the best for her family, and even if they don't agree with her, its Sapphire's strong belief that they will in time realize that only she knows what best for them, even if it means locking them in a little box, keeping them safe from the rest of the world. This of course causes confrontations amongst her family which she really doesn’t understand, she would think that they would want this and has a hard time understanding other peoples views being more correct than her own. It’s because she’s always right and almost nothing can change that.
With that mentioned, Sapphire has been wrong before and when she has been wrong, she has been really wrong. Sapphire finds it absolutely terrifying when she makes mistakes, because that means something didn’t go according to plan. She has a habit of taking this out on herself or others without any sort of regard for anything. Her emotions have this habbit of overwhelming her and Sapphire has a hard time controlling them in her normal cold and cool way when they just burst. She hold so much back at times that when she feels something, she feels it in a big way and it is almost beautifully tragic to watch her just…break.
Sapphire does however have another soft spot besides her family, Sapphire is rather soft on children as well and is surprisingly maternal and kind to them. Long gone is the horrible, deranged, insane witch of a woman and in comes a warm, caring youn woman with a big heart. Very few people know why she is so soft on children, but for those who do, they find it no surprise that the darkness manipulator has such a soft spot.
Hobbies/ Interests: Any sort of art in general Sapphire has a passion for but her passion is mostly for painting. She also enjoys hunting down her enemies and killing them in creative ways.
Job or part time job and description: Artist: Sapphire is a critically acclaimed artist who sells a great deal of paintings. The style wavers between the strange and unrealistic to realistic. She is only paid on commission however so she had to get a second job in order to pay the bills.
Assassin: Killing people has always been something Sapphires good at. Sapphire has connections to various mob bosses and crime lords all around the world and she is very well renowned as a killer for hire. She most typically goes under the name The Artist or the Angel of Death, depending on who hired her.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: Loosing her Family:
Becoming more of a freak than she already is.
Getting to close to someone.
Special talents: Shes a great artist and has a true fascinating knowledge of the medical world due to her time as the personal assistant to the mad doctor who tortured her family for so many years. She also has a really great talent of killing people, which has given her the nickname in the Assassin world as the artist.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Lawful Evil.
Sapphire has her own laws that dictate her actions, problem is, those don’t always follow the laws of society, she isn’t a good guy and she probably never will be one. Sapphire kills people for a living without any remorse and has a hard time feeling sympathy for those she’s about to harm. But this doesn’t forbade her from doing good deeds on occasion. The Darkness manipulator isn’t a complete monster by any stretch of the imagination; she is just a disturbed young woman who believes that her way is the right way not only for herself but everyone she meets.
Mutations: Darkness Manipulation
Sapphire has control over shadows and darkness. Shadows are the naturally occurring benign and intangible shadows of this world. Darkness is the inner turmoil of Sapphire's soul manifesting externally as a physical shadow.
Sapphire can create tendrils from the darkness that are intangible until she pours negative emotion and Darkness into them. The more Darkness from her soul that she puts into the shadows, the more solid that they appear. The dark tendrils aren’t actually solid, despite the fact that they are able to be used as a solid object (like a dagger) would be. In other words, they are a substance that is in between solid and gaseous. When Sapphire makes a shadow solid, a piece of her own darkness is inside the shadow giving it some substance..
Sapphire uses her tendrils to interact with her surroundings, as if she had telekinesis. However, unlike telekinesis, it isn't actually the power of her mind moving objects, but her ability to manipulate and make shadows “solid”.
Shadows of the world can not be manipulated by Sapphire other than her teleportation abilities, all her tendrils must come from herself and nothing else.Sapphire uses her darkness to do mundane things than normal people could do more often than not. Not because using darkness if fun but because she has become so used to it being a part of herself she has a hard time remembering a time when she didn't use it. Not only this but because of the massive strength the tendrils have, Sapphire's physical body is weaker because of it.
If Sapphire can see where the tendril is headed, it can extend outward to a max of 50 feet (About the length of a large foyer in a rich persons house) from her body when it is allowed to be as hard as iron. With great concentration and some of her Darkness, she can form the end of a tendril into a physical form seemingly as hard as iron. Sapphire likes to impale people on her hardened tendrils, using them like a weapon. She can use her tendrils offensively and defensively, with the offensive tendrils being sharp, thing and spear like, sharp and deadly as a solid Iron sword or the defensive ones, Wide and thick looking more like a shield like object.
Sapphire's body holds approximately the same amount of Darkness as the amount of blood. The more solid-like a shadow is, the more of her inner darkness she must inject to maintain its corporeal-like nature. The more solid a tendril is, the closer it must remain to her body.
Strengths: Sapphire is very practiced with her darkness manipulations. She is obsessed with this ability. She is able to make darkness into differing levels of solidity, from a state more similar to plasma, to a state that appears solid and is able to pierce objects. Sapphire is also able to teleport via her darkness powers. She is able to teleport semi large objects, like filing cabinets or dead things. Just not really easily and she has to use a blood exit to do it, same limitations from those Exits apply to objects as well.
one tendril=100 pounds
two tendrils 200 pounds
Maximum weight limit for a massive amount of tendrils 500 (IE 5 Tendrills) pounds and this is also the maximum amount of tendrils sapphire can use at once. But this large amount would require a great amount concentration on Sapphire’s part to keep them all in check.
Sapphire can mix and match the offensive and defensive tendrils interchangeably but using both would cause far more concentration than when she uses her maximum lifting weight of her darkness. Sapphire can also use these tendrils to guard over other people but she primarly uses them to knock other back in order to keep herself on the offensive rather than the defensive. Blunt force and piercing damage isn’t a good way to damage Sapphire’s tendrils which will stop at nothing to keep the attacker away from Sapphire.
Sapphire’s usage of this brand of darkness is not limited by times per day, just how much staminia she can keep up.
Weaknesses: Because of Sapphire's obsession with her mutation, she has neglected to build up a large amount of physical stamina. Sapphire is vulnerable to physical hits (punches, kicks etc, Any direct hit to her is not good for her). The darkness' connection to her is so strong, that if she is somehow cut off from it in any way for an extended period of time, sometime between an hour or two, Sapphire will start to weaken physically and mentally. After several weeks she will continually weaken to the point of death is she is not reunited with the Darkness. Sapphire’s physical strength is very weak and she is unable to function very well without the darkness. If she isn’t protected by the darkness, she can essentially be knocked asunder by several blows from a 12 year old.
Without her darkness, Sapphire can’t do a lot of things many normal people do in a day to day life, carrying heavy objects and even some lighter objects, she requires help for all of it. The darkness is an essential part of keeping her alive. Sapphire doesn’t appear to be weak, she isn’t frail or doll like, but she has given almost all of herself to the darkness and because of this, if she is unable to use it, she will not be able to function normally in society. She might as well be handicapped. She may be an expert assassin, but she isn’t physically durable, which is why the majority of her defenses revolve around keeping her physically protected from blows.
She must keep her concentration in order for the darkness to become solid enough to physically affect things, considering the fact that this power comes from not only the shadows/darkness around her as well as her inner soul, she is has to concentrate on more than one thing at once at times. Too much inner chaos and not as focused on a goal makes Sapphire’s control waver.
Sapphire can only attack with her tendrils behind her when she uses her inner darkness.
Sapphire’s Defensive tendril are weaker when it comes to things like bullets, Sapphire Has a harder time shielding against them, only able to use her shielding ability once after in shatters under a bombardment of bullets. She could maybe take at maximum six bullets, before the Tendril shatters and become gaseous darkness again. This only means regular bullets, like from Police Issued glock. The stronger the caliber of bullet as well as gun the more likely Sapphire’s shield will shatter. Sapphire’s Tendrils of Darkness certainly can’t take anything like a grenade or a high caliber high powered sniper shot without shattering This means mutants that use energy blasts or have general explosion like ability have the upper hand on of Sapphires.
Also having a gun always works too. This also goes for her offensive ones as well making them weaker to bullets, energy blasts and explosions than anything else. It can also be destroyed by blunt attacks or piercing attacks but it requires a lot more damage over time in order to do so, under a constant barrage her shield tendrils would break but it would take more of a barrage than anything. Sapphire’s shield is defensive for physical attacks, which tend to hurt her the worse so it’s no surprise that her abilities formed in order for her to be able to shield herself better against them. Also if a tendril gets destroyed, it cuts it’s range and strength in half, making It’s user far more cautions and reluctant to fight.
Secondary Mutation: Darkness Teleportation:
Sapphire Lupin is a twisted individual, as we all know, she has a hard time dealing with reality because in almost every step of every day. Her own mind is a twisted cataclysm of god only knows what and because of this she has become very unstable, not only does her body naturally produce the darkness but her mind does too. The darkness she uses to teleports, is the darkness of the world, as in shadows or darkness of buildings that she sees. By pouring out a good portion of her bodies darkness (similar to a normal person cutting a part of their body and draining out the blood). This is a very risky move because she must wrap herself in her own darkness to enter it. It looks like she is being covered in black tendrils and then sinking down into a shadow.
Once inside, she sees every shadow nearby as an exit hole. Sapphire has a maximum teleportation range. She can only teleport as far as she can see before she goes into the darkness, in this manner. For long range teleportation, however, she must use a different system. For this to work, she must have purposefully shed blood at the location that she wishes to go to at a prior time at least 2 days before. This works because her blood contains darkness, and allows for her to open an exit using that darkness. As long as this is established, she is able to teleport to that place at any time in the same manner as with short distance teleportation.
Strength: This is a different type of darkness than Sapphire’s normal darkness caused by a mutation, this particular brand of darkness is mainly caused by the darkness she sees in the world around her, she has to use shadows and the dead of night in order to teleport. But it still provides a wonderful escape route for her. Really it’s strength is it’s range is that she can get at least 3 miles away in about 10 minutes, which isn’t a bad commute in a city like New York.
Weakness: Other than the fact she can only use this ability at night and only to and from in dark places. Using her own shadow to teleport physically drains Sapphire, in relation to the distance that she travels. She is also vulnerable while sinking into her own shadow and exiting a shadow, because she is wrapped in the physical manifestation of her body’s darkness. If someone were to harm the shadow Sapphire sank into, the damage would be dealt directly to her. Also if she teleports a long distance using the blood she shed earlier she would have a harder time standing afterwards.
Blood exits last for 1 day before reformation is required. Has to be done before hand and cannot be interfered with by of cleaning. It also has to be in a place where there is a low amount of light. Like a corner of a room, or an alley way or a black car with tinted out windows. Her range at Maximum is 6 miles away from her current location and for that, she has to be uninterrupted when she teleports and when she is done teleporting she will most likely need to sit down and replenish her energy by resting in one spot on maybe drinking some sort of energy drink, or eating.
If something does happen to the blood however, it will damage her physically by causing the wound she inflicted upon herself in order to form the portal will start to look rotted and it will cause her stinging pain in the area she inflicted it. And her blood contains darkness, not her blood is darkness, she bleeds darkness and blood. Once an exit is used it dissengrates and leaves no trace of itself behind, including Sapphire's darkness infected blood. So essentially once she exists out of a darkness portal, she is stuck at the location she is at unless she created another portal beforehand.
Also she has to have full strength to do it the teleportation so if Sapphire is nearly dead, or heavily injuried, she cannot teleport.
Fighting Style :Explanation: Sapphire mainly uses her darkness to fight defensively and offensively. She never uses any physical attacks and she typically uses stealth to get surprise her opponents, often striking them from behind or from beneath.
Pros for fighting style: Shes extremely good at the element of surprise, Long range is also a strong point, Sapphire’s abilities make her very dangerous to get into range. With a combination of tendrils and the 12 years of training since her time at the labs, Sapphire is a hard foe to take out.
Cons for fighting style: Shes not to great at Fighting close range but if pressed when she does fight at close range, she just has a harder time keeping concentrated if the fight is too close, she will attempt to keep the people farther away. Sapphire is also weak physically, so if she is forced wth hand to hand combat she can’t do nearly anything. All of her strength is in her tendrils and the force behind them, otherwise she is a sitting duck.

History Of Your Character:
Sapphire was born to Jade and Vincent Lupin on a private Island off the East Coast of Florida. She was the oldest of the Lupin sisters and enjoyed her family immensely. Her first thirteen years of her life were uneventful and plain, living the same life as any other 13 year old girl should. One day however, everything changed, strange men came to the happy Island home and took the young girls away from their parents into a laboratory run and operated by a man named Dr. Morris Fusion, known to his test subjects as Fusionist.
The “good Doctor” had been kidnapping mutants and experimenting on them for the past thirty years and had a particular fascination with the Lupins mother Jade.
When their mother escaped from the Labs, the madman was convinced that she was still out there and was determined to get her back and make her hurt at all costs. Instead, he took her daughters away from her, making them his newest pet project. Sapphire was the first to be separated from her sisters after a long 4 months, cold and miserable in a prison cell. It is unknown what happened to the oldest of the Lupins for those two hours she was locked behind closed doors with Dr Fusion, all that was known was the fact that Sapphire came out a changed teenager.
Her once blond hair had been changed to a dark black while her light blue eyes once filled with life became listless and lifeless. She walked by her sisters cell and as they begged for her to come back, she just continued walking, not knowing or caring how much her betrayal hurt them both.
From that point on Sapphire became the Doctors Assistant, helping him in any way he deemed possible, whether it was torturing the other experiments or killing them she really didn't care the young woman was absolutely devoted to the Fusionist. She allowed him to do whatever he wished to her as long as she could protect her sisters, well protect wasn't exactly what she was doing. Sapphire also had a hand in the experiments that were performed on her siblings making them as strong as they needed to be to face the cruel world that she believed would try to tear them all apart.
For 7 years things continued on like this, Sapphire being at her Masters right hand, being his angel of death to all of his experiments. This was when her younger sister Emerald escaped from the labs, sending her dear master into a frenzy. Emerald and Sapphire had been part of a an elite group of assassins called the Chaos Soldiers and with the techniques Emerald had learned, Sapphire knew that her younger sibling could help bring the organization down, ruining any plans she had. Sapphire vowed to bring her sibling back for Fusionist and set off on a quest to find her younger sibling.
Eventually after nearly a year of traveling Sapphire found a news report on King Pharmaceuticals and recognized the Werewolf throwing a bus as her younger sibling. Hurrying to New York, Sapphire encountered her sister, trying to convince her to come with her and after several incidents that often involved in fights Sapphire learned Ruby too was in New York. After learning Fusionist had left her baby sister for dead out in the middle of a blizzard, Sapphire learned that it may be in her best interest to aide her sisters in destroying the man they once called master in order for them to be a family again. Later on, the girls reunited with their parents, giving Sapphire and Emerald a small window of time to plan the downfall of the once prosperous Genetics research facilities of Fusion Corp
Things soon changed however, her sisters were taken to the Mutant Camps and once again Sapphire was all alone with her thoughts. While she could have saved her sisters easily, she did not wish to get caught herself, not wanting to get herself killed. So Sapphire waited and as soon as she caught wind of an escape Sapphire rushed to the location of the camps and aided both Ruby and Emerald in their escape, soon after this Emerald and Sapphire as well as many others took down Fusion Corp and removed its influence from the world.
However, this did not mean that things were okay between the older of the Lupin sister, Emerald still didn't forgive Sapphire for all the horrible things she did to them while in the labs. Because it turned out that Sapphire had a choice between being continuously tortured every day like Em, meaning she would stay with her sisters, or becoming Fusionists assistant, meaning she would in directly help her sisters but mainly cause them more hurt than Aid. Eventually Sapphire choose her darkness abilities over her families animal like abilities, ridding herself of her dingo shifting forever, something that she viewed as one of her final imperfections. The females of the Lupin family resent her for this but Sapphire pays them no mind.Sapphire till this day insists that what she did was for the good of the Family and will destroy anyone but her sisters who question that.
Roleplay
Where did you learn about this site?
Do you have any other characters on MRO, if so who: Emerald and Ruby
Sample RP:
Darkness, pure, blissful at times it seemed like it was the only thing that truly understood her. Other mutants and humans alike didn’t understand her strange obsession with her own powers, this relationship she had with it can only be construed as pure and utter devotion. It was almost like she was in love with the darkness and everything it had “blessed” her with, great power, great skills and a great tool to help her do the simple things in life.
People just didn’t understand her relationship with it, which was fine; they were far too dumb to figure something like that out anyways. The darkness manipulator in all her glory, practically glided across her kitchen floor, her white flowing dress streamed behind her. With a quick flick of her wrist, a darkness Tendril erupted out of it and wrapped around bottle of her favorite rum. Another Tendril made its way to the lid and unscrewed it; a small smile crept across Sapphires face as she watched the liquid swish back and forth in the bottle as she brought it to her lips.
Sapphire drank for a long time, and once she got her fill, she quietly refastened the lid and went over to her living room, apron tightly grasped in hand. She tied the white apron to her body, allowing the two Tendrils to fasten the knot as she made her way into the Living room. A man was tied there, struggling and flailing about as per usual and it might have been because she broke into his house, tied him up and drank a good portion of his Alcohol all while painting his panicked self. Or the fact she was very beautiful, she preferred to think it was the fact that she was very beautiful, She sort of hoped it was that last one, because that would just make her day.
Now it was time to begin.
