― Scarlet Mist

Rine Palung (also known as the Scarlet Mist) is a villain and a reincarnation of Bloody Mary.

Personality

Rine is marked by the contrast between her former self and the dark entity she has become. The trauma of her transformation has instilled in Rine a deep-seated desire for vengeance. She keeps a relentless hatred for those she perceives as responsible for her suffering and is ruthless in pursuing her goals. Rine shows no mercy in battle, reveling in the pain and fear she inflicts on her enemies. Her actions are driven by a need to exact retribution and to assert her newfound power. The emotional warmth that once characterized her musical performances has been replaced by a cold, calculating attitude. Rine is highly strategic, always planning her moves with precision. In combat and in her dealings with others, she displays a chilling detachment and she analyzes situations with a clear, ruthless logic so that her actions maximize the suffering and chaos she brings. Beneath her hardened exterior, traces of Rine's former self linger. She often reflects on her past life, the beauty of her music, and the innocence she lost. During quiet moments, Rine may be found staring into the distance, lost in thought. She occasionally plays haunting melodies on her cello, expressing a sorrow that words cannot convey. While she embraces her new identity, a part of her still struggles with the darkness within. Sometimes it leads to moments of hesitation or unexpected acts of mercy, though they are rare and fleeting. Her torment is evident in the intensity of her actions and the fury of her attacks. Rine shares a deep bond with her partner Aeni. She feels a sense of responsibility for Aeni's transformation and is fiercely protective of her. In battle, Rine fights with even greater ferocity when Aeni is threatened. She trusts her implicitly and often coordinates their attacks with precision, highlighting their unbreakable partnership.

Powers and Abilities

• Blood Weaponry: Rine wields her transformed cello and bow, now a greataxe and greatsword, with a sinister mastery over blood. She can perform a wide array of blood-based attacks, turning the battlefield into a symphony of chaos and pain. Once she inflicts enough wounds, she can manipulate the exposed blood to cause excruciating pain from within her victims. By transforming her weapons back into a cello, she can play horrifying, discordant notes that resonate through the blood of her enemies, causing their wounds to deepen and their agony to intensify.
  • Bloodstrike: Rine swings her greataxe or greatsword with immense force, causing deep wounds that bleed profusely. The blood from these wounds can be manipulated to enhance her subsequent attacks.

  • Blood Curse: Rine curses her enemies with a blood plague that weakens their defenses and saps their strength over time.
  • Sanguine Symphony: Rine transforms her weapons back into a cello and bow, playing a haunting melody that resonates through the blood of her enemies. This causes excruciating pain and internal damage.

• Enhanced Strength: Despite her somewhat sluggish movements, Rine possesses extraordinary strength, wielding her massive weapons with ease. She can deliver devastating blows that can crush enemies and break through the toughest defenses. Rine's attacks with her greataxe and greatsword are powerful enough to flatten opponents and cause significant structural damage. She can lift and swing her weapons effortlessly.

• Enhanced Durability: The dark magic hardened Rine's body, making her highly resistant to physical injuries. She can withstand tremendous amounts of punishment without faltering. Rine's skin and muscles are reinforced to the point where she can endure heavy blows, cuts, and impacts with minimal damage. She is capable of surviving prolonged and intense battles.

Rine's proficiency with her weapons enables her to execute swift and precise strikes, parries, and counters. She can switch between her weapons, utilizing their unique attributes to maximum effect in combat.

Equipment

• Crimson Greataxe: Once a cello, it has been twisted into a menacing greataxe, now resembling a huge lump of bloody iron. It has been imbued with a sinister power, making it a weapon of devastating force. The axe head is a grotesque, blood-stained iron mass, its surface marred by jagged edges and crimson streaks. Each blow from the greataxe delivers overwhelming force, capable of flattening enemies and leaving them reeling from the sheer power of the strike.

• Crimson Greatsword: Once a bow used to draw music from a cello, it has been corrupted into a coarse, bloody iron lump fashioned into a greatsword. Its sheer weight and size is designed to mow down foes with brutal efficiency. The blade is a massive, jagged iron slab, dripping with the essence of blood. It exudes an aura of menace and unyielding power. Its immense weight allows it to cut through multiple enemies in a single swing, its raw power amplified by the bloody energy coursing through it.
