Character Series: Mahou Sensei Negima (Negima! Magister Negi Magi)
Character Age: 600+ (stopped aging on her 10th birthday)
Background: Evangeline's Wikia Page; Basic Rundown Wikia;
Personality: On the surface, Evangeline can seem like a quiet and antisocial young girl. This is a complete façade, one that Evangeline cultivated when she was cursed to remain in a school setting for 15 years. In order to "fit in," she basically refused to associate with her classmates on any real level, leading people to think of her as antisocial, as one who never speaks. In fact, at times when she does choose to speak, her classmates are surprised. Around those she knows, those who know that she's a mage and vampire, she acts quite different. In terms of Mayfield, she would likely adopt this sort of persona for school, once forced to attend, but otherwise she'd show her true personality.

What is this true personality, you ask? A good question, and one that requires several very lengthy paragraphs to explain. Grab a soda and a snack, this could take a while.

Evangeline is, despite what her appearance suggests, a through-and-through villain. She takes pride in her status as a villain, and won't hesitate to spout off how evil she is, how much evil she's done, why people should hate her, and possibly speckling all of this with mentions of her evil titles (see above for a truncated list of such nicknames.) Even her casual comments can come off sounding quite evil. She's amused by the fact that her name can inspire fear, and in the Magical World, her name is often told as an equivalent to the Boogeyman's.

At the tender young age of 10, Evangeline was turned into a vampire by an evil villain as a magical experiment of sorts. She went crazy with bloodlust and ended up slaughtering the people of the castle she lived in. She ran away, but couldn't escape the fate of a vampire. She was hunted, chased down, and even burned at the stake once. She was forced to grow powerful to fend off the vampire hunters, forced to kill in order to survive herself. It jaded her to the world, and being forced to kill cemented her own sins in her mind. She took on the role of a villain because it's what the world had decided for her, and because she thought of herself as one for being forced to kill others.

Despite that, all she really wanted was to be left alone. She rarely bothered those who didn't seek her out, and was content to cut off contact with all people. She didn't fit in anywhere in the world, or even in the Magical World, so she didn't see the point in contact if it was only to be the target of a witch hunt.

With that all explained, it should be noted that a good portion of Evangeline's evil talk, spouting on how much she hates the world and her villainy is amazingly evil, is hot air. At one point, perhaps she was just as evil as she claimed. But during the last part of her life, people have begun to accept her, some have even been foolish enough to try and save her, or call her a friend. And so while she still claims to be evil, she'll do so while helping people out behind the scenes, training heroes, defending her friends... Her evil words don't match her actions. She'll quickly deny she's doing anything good, or for any purpose other than her own, but that's exactly what she's doing.

The years also warped her personality beyond claiming she's evil. Despite her (mostly) good intentions, Evangeline does have a cruel streak. She's known to show mercy to those who show it to her, but she's pitiless to those who deserve it. She ruthlessly teases others, often to the point of being the world's most powerful bully. It's not true villainy, but that is a genuine part of her personality. She enjoys pulling people off their high horses, dirtying the good and the just with mud, and scaring small children.

Evangeline is also shown to be extremely irritable. Although she tries to seem calm, collected, and composed, she's very easily angered, especially if you know the right buttons to push. Generally, these buttons involve her height, her age, her lack of evil, or her middle name. If somebody somehow combined all of those into one insult, they would probably be dead. And despite being a bully, she doesn't take well to being teased. She falls for jokes and pranks, gets worked up over silly insults.... yeah.

Being a vampire, Evangeline doesn't age. While this is a sore point for her in terms that she is eternally ten, it also provides her with almost six hundred years of experience. Although others consider her a "young" monster because of her apparent age, she considers herself old, especially when dealing with normal people, where the differences in experience and attitudes really ingrain it into her that she is so much older. At times, she can dispense wisdom, enjoy tea, and act like... an old person. It's an interesting dichotomy.

Also, because she is so old, and has seen so much, she often becomes bored. Giant festivals are no fun after fifteen years straight of them, and even things like having adventures in a magical world full of dragons isn't any fun anymore. She complains loudly and often on her boredom, though nothing really cures it. She seems to enjoy the complaining, though.

All in all, Evangeline is a precocious girl who is also a bit of a bully and an on-again-off-again villain. She's much better to have on your side than against you, though, so people should really try to get on her good side.
Abilities: Evangeline is extremely powerful. It... really can't be stressed enough how powerful of a character she is. Her skill is unmatched, her power is legendary, and any one of her abilities could lend to her being one of the strongest in her world... but she has a billion of them. To get back to full strength, it would take a lot of time and regains.
MUNDANE
These abilities are considered "mundane" skills... in other words, they should come as-is, no regains required.

First of all, Evangeline is an incredibly skilled martial artist. She studied with the creator of aikido, and spent the better part of a century practicing and perfecting her skills. With aikido, she can defeat experienced martial artists, even those with ridiculous skill and access to chi/ki using nothing but the strength of her ten-year-old body. It's pure skill, no abnormal strength or speed or ki usage.

Second, Evangeline is a master puppeteer. Although her more unusual abilities related to this are cut off, on the more mundane side she is an expert at setting up traps with wires, or using wires to fight, maneuvering them in such a way as to tangle, tie, or trip an opponent. (Although it's completely mundane, no abilities involved, since it is a skill out of the norm for real people feel free to let me know if this would require a regain.)

Evangeline also has a number of mundane, non-battle related skills that she is a master of: things such as go, tea ceremony, and the like.

VAMPIRIC ABILITIES
Evangeline was turned into a vampire when she was young. Over the years, she's come to master her vampirism, learning new uses for it and getting rid of the usual weaknesses. While she started off weak to sunlight, etc., at this point she bears none of those weaknesses.

A step by step guide to Evangeline's vampiric abilities:
REGENERATION
Evangeline can recover from any wound. This recovery is almost instantaneous, but shown to so far be accompanied by some sort of show of recovering: such as splitting into bats or turning into shadow, then reforming whole and uninjured.

She says that no mortal sword or bullet can harm her. However, it's also said that recovering takes up some portion of her magical powers. As a mage of almost-unrivaled caliber, she has more than enough to spare, but it does mean that it's theoretically possible to kill her by forcing her to use all of her magical reserves and then dealing a mortal blow.

FEEDING
Evangeline, as her vampiric nature would suggest, can drink the blood of others. However, at this point she has no need to drink blood to survive. Rather, drinking the blood of mages, or those of magical nature, will allow her to replenish her own supply of magical power. If her powers are sealed or dormant, drinking a mage's blood will allow her to slowly regain her abilities.

It used to be that her vampiric nature would force her to drink the blood of others; a sort of bloodlust, a hunger that consumed her. When she was first turned into a vampire, she ended up slaughtering most of the castle she lived in. She has no such bloodlust any more, though she does still enjoy the taste. But she is in full control.

HYPNOTISM
After she feeds on a person's blood, she can take full control of them with a hypnotism that cannot be fought. The person or people fall under her command, doing whatever it is she bids. She can choose when to control or not to control them. However, this control can be broken, and when it is, the connection between master and servant is lost.

It's only shown that she can do this after drinking a significant amount of the person's blood, and it's also possible that mages are immune to this effect. I'll be playing it as if both are true.

FLIGHT
Most mages, witches, and wizards can only fly with the aid of an object, usually a staff or a broom. Evangeline is shown to possess the unique ability to fly without the aid of any object, so this is likely a power granted by her vampiric ability rather than magic.

It lets her fly. That's pretty much it.

IMMORTAL BODY
On top of regenerating from almost anything, being a vampire comes with other advantages. Notably, Evangeline is immune to poisons, sickness, disease, etc.

This is notable for her because, without her vampiric abilities, she is extremely prone to allergies, sickness, fevers, and any other malady you could name. Until this is regained.... she's going to be a very unhappy little girl.

ILLUSIONS
Evangeline has control over powerful illusions. These illusions are likely a mix of both magical ability and vampiric ability. It should be noted that her illusions are extremely good. A weaker doppelganger of Evangeline is able to cast a glamour over a large group that is good enough to fool the best illusion-detecting spells and technology of a magical empire. She's also been shown to pull people in an illusionary world, one which she completely controls, simply by locking eyes with them.

TELEPORTATION
She's been shown to be able to use shadows as a means of teleportation. Though there is a limit to distance, that limit is measures in kilometers. She could not teleport directly to her student Negi in Kyoto, for example, but could once she was close enough (though this still well beyond eyesight.)

MAGIC
Most of Evangeline's abilities come from her magic. (Yeah, I know, that vampire stuff was just a warm-up.) As a mage, Evangeline's abilities are top-notch. She is literally among the best of the best, and her power and skill are both beyond the realm most could ever hope to match.

A few things to note: most mages require a wand, a staff, a ring, or some other form of focus in order to cast spells, but Evangeline is so good that she, well, doesn't. On top of that, she shows a high-level of mastery with skills beyond her primary focus: in her case, she specializes in ice and darkness-based spells, but is shown using high-level lightning spells as well, something noted by others to be extraordinary.

I'm not quite sure how she'd handle magic regains: either by school, or by strength, or her more powerful spells separately... but hey, here's a list!
ENHANCEMENT
Evangeline, like most mages in her world, uses magic to fuel her body, giving her enhanced strength, speed, and stamina. And, being the powerful mage she is, Evangeline can pump this up to extreme levels. She can easily toss around train cars, punch hard enough to cause explosions of debris, and is fast enough to dodge attacks at literal lightning speed.
SHUNDOU
On top of this incredible enhancement, Evangeline also knows shundou, which is the ability to move almost instantly. Basically Negima's version of the flash step. Most people can only do it in one direction, once, but Evangeline can change directions, use it in midair... whatever.

MAGICAL SENSES
A combination of magical ability and vampiric ability: Evangeline has incredibly enhanced senses, including a sixth sense. She can sense when an animal enters the academy city she's staying in. In addition, she can pinpoint locations from a great distance if she knows who she's looking for. In canon, she pinpoints her student, who's in Kyoto, while she's heading in his direction from Mahora (near Tokyo.)

PRIMARY OFFENSIVE MAGIC
Evangeline, as mentioned, specializes in ice and darkness spells for her offensive capabilities. She's got enough raw power and advanced enough spells to do things like shooting off hundreds of ice or darkness arrows, or creating 150-meter wide fields of absolute zero. (They mention that, since it breaks the laws of thermodynamics, it takes more magical power to pull off than other elemental spells of similar properties.) It can be presumed that she knows and can use just about every spell in her specialty area.
EXECUTIONER'S SWORD
I feel this deserves its own mention, since she uses this spell often. It's an incantationless spell that creates a blade from her hand... the blade cuts anything, except magic or ki. It doesn't actually cut though, it converts substances from solid matter to a gas. Yes, pretty haxx, but on the plus side, it can only be used by a powerful mage. Like Evangeline.

SECONDARY OFFENSIVE MAGIC
Evangeline is... also shown to be proficient in other elements. As mentioned, this is fairly rare among mages in her world: they tend to stick to their specialty only, but Evangeline teaches Negi, her student, some advanced lightning attacks that normally even an awesome mage wouldn't be able to do if lightning wasn't their specialty. It can be assumed that she can use other elements, like fire and wind, as well. She's just that good.

UTILITY MAGIC
Magic isn't just limited to fighting. Evangeline is shown, or is implied to have, the ability to do things such as viewing dreams, reading minds, control bodies, create alternate dimensions, move objects, create water, create transportation circles, make powerful barriers, and more. I'll list a few of her more notable abilities as well.
BARRIER
She has a full vampiric and magical barrier up at... pretty much all times. Most attacks are simply stopped when they hit the barrier. It can be compromised with a strong enough attack, but... it does need to be a strong attack. Or one that specifically destroys barriers.

MAGIA EREBIA
Oh god, Magia Erebia. This is basically... the ability to take a spell (usually a very, very destructive one), absorb it, and convert it into raw power. This is a spell that Evangeline created herself for her weaker days, in order to gain the strength to fend off the witch hunts. And it works well for her since she's a vampire: if a normal human used this, then it would strain their spirit and mentality to the point of breaking, which is what classifies this ability as "dark magic." Not only does the user absorb the spell and convert it to power, though, but they also absorb some aspects of the spell: lightning spells can convert the user's body into lightning, etc. In addition, when using Magia Erebia, the user can store spells in their arms, leading to even more uses. So, to sum it up, convert spell to dope up hardcore, get nifty extra effects, dark magic.

SCRYING
Using a crystal ball or another surface as a medium, Evangeline can view events happening in other places. This is a pretty typical ability for spellcasters, but deserves its own mention because, hey, viewing shit like that is pretty cool.

DOLL MASTER
Evangeline can control up to 300 puppets over a 3 km radius using her magic. Keep in mind that... her version of puppets are killing machines, wielding swords and knives and, in some cases, more advanced weaponry. So this is kind of haxx. Oh, she can also give dolls actual life. They need her magic to move around, but even without it, they still maintain the ability to speak (and in most cases snark.)

Sample Entry: [ Evangeline is sitting on the steps of her new home's porch, a popsicle in her mouth and an extremely bored expression on her face as she looks out to the street. She had to admit that the dress wasn't that bad, but this place was even more boring than Mahora. She watched a few of the town's children - drones, they called them - out playing in a very typical fashion. She wasn't about to join them, of course, but watching them gave her something to do.

And why did it have to be so hot? Vampires didn't deal well with summer.

She fanned herself for a moment, tugging at the collar of her dress, before simply sighing. It was marginally cooler inside, she supposed.

Inside of the house, she found herself a nice seat on a chair. She sucked on the popsicle for another minute before deciding to do something about her boredom. She picked up the receiver on the old-fashioned phone and put out a general call. ]

Okay, I know you're all content to sit around on your asses all day and play out your nice game of house, but some of us are getting bored of it. Somebody give me suggestions for something to do. Anything.

And I swear, if I hear one person mention playing with dolls, I will kill somebody. And it'll probably be my "sister," since she's closest. [ The funny part is that Evangeline actually enjoys playing with dolls... but, well, that's not something she's going to admit publicly. Even if she is called the "Doll Master." ]

Just.... hurry up. I'm dying of boredom [ and heat ] over here.

((Also, a supplementary sample post over here, though it didn't get many replies. Thought I'd link it anyway.))
