Appearance

Anatomy
From a first glance, she looks like your typical, rambunctious, voluptuous teenage girl. However, upon close inspection, she has many other, demonic qualities to her that no normal teenage girl should have. She stands at 5'11, with the hair on her head giving her an extra 2 inches, making her actual height about 5'9. Her long, black, unkempt hair is very spiky, wild and crazy, just like her personality. It reaches down to about her thighs. In addition to it being long and crazy, thanks to her demonic power, Taomin has the ability to potently control every strand of her hair, thus allowing her to alter stiffness and hardness as well as longness at will. As such, she can potentially make every strand as sharp as a blade instantaneously. Her eyes, originally black, have become a piercing red thanks to her demonic attributes, intensifying her original ability to see the supernatural, metaphysical and spiritual entities of the universe. Also, with this redness, her eyes also became very perceptive, allowing her to see slight changes in light and in the atmosphere, as well as allow her to see easily in pitch blackness. Some of her teeth also became extremely sharp and pointed, useful for ripping flesh from very tough substances, which only accentuates her new, bloodthirsty nature. On her face and body, there are scattered, yet symmetrical, blood red markings on her body. She has 2 long, tiger like red stripes on her cheeks, one on either side, the same stripes being on her shoulders and her calves. A squiggly looking mark makes a ring around her midsection on her stomach, right across her belly button and around to her back. These markings are one with her skin and are found to glow a piercing red at times, as well as her eyes. They are also known to grow when she is feeling surges of emotions or being overwhelmed by the demon in her.

Due to her demonic attributes, not only the appearance of her body has changed, but her physical capabilities, as well. Her skin, though it is soft and smooth, is actually extremely durable and not easily pierced. Her skin and bones are able to take the sharpest blades and most destructive forces without being broken or cut through at all, giving her great durability and defense. Her speed also improved to drastic levels, allowing her to run at more than breakneck speeds, to the point where she is invisible. In addition, her movements in general are so quiet that even at full speed, a pin is able to drop in an empty hallway and be the only thing heard. Her physical brute strength increased as well, allowing her to punch through boulders and rip through steel with her blade effortlessly. Not only this, but she has extreme agility and balance and is very acrobatic and flexible as well. Lastly, her vocal cords have become extremely powerful, and she also seems to have extremely potent control over all aspects of her voice. As such, she can create massive, powerful, concentrated pure sound waves from her mouth that decimate and obliterate everything in their way. She is also known to create eerie noises that mess with the perception of those who hear the noises, sort of like making illusions. It is said that her own physical capabilities increase even more drastically the longer and brighter her markings get.


Attire
As a whole, Taomin tends to wear nothing but skimpy, slutty clothing ever sense being demonized. She wears a very low cut black baby-tee which hugs her large breasts, showing off cleavage as well as her stomach. She also wears very tight, extremely small, black booty shorts that accentuate her ass quite a bit, leaving barely anything to be desired. Her boots are odd, slightly plushy looking, cushioned, oversized, red cosplay boots which hang loosely halfway between her shins and ankles. Around her wrists, she wears two red magical cuffs. Originally, these cuffs were golden Holy Cuffs, but were tainted once Tao was, and altered themselves once she became demonized, becoming red. They are completely indestructible and are imbued with great power, as well as the ability to repel things from their presence on Tao's will when struck. She wears all black and red all the time, being apparent in her shirt, shorts, shoes and arm cuffs.

Though Taomin is accustomed to wearing her extremely slutty clothing, because she is still a priestess (though now demonized), she still sports a Kimono at times where she summons things. However, her Kimono is demonic now, being completely black with red, evil marks on it, staying true to her strictly black and red attire. While wearing her Kimono, she has a bit of control over it, being able to extend and stiffen her sleeves like blades or whips in the same fashion of her hair. Also, she may stiffen up the entire Kimono as a sort of super-armor, making her even more resistant to stronger attacks that her remarkable strength would not be able to take. This is because her Kimono is made out of both demonic threads and her own hair, giving her that control. Otherwise, it is simply a normal Kimono.



Personality
Before becoming demonized, Taomin was a sweet, religious, holy priestess-in-training who was very kind to everyone and everything, sporting very high moral values and very high respect for all things. She was very dedicated to her family and the values and traditions they held. However, because she forsook her family heritage, a very powerful, high ranking demon was allowed her body, which changed her into the complete opposite of what she once was. She started to become twisted, demented and destructive. She lived only for entertainment of herself (mostly parties), the slaughter of other living beings, and sexual activities with anything that will have her. Her cruelty combined with complete sadism made killing for her easy, and she became a bloodthirsty serial killer. She is now a conceited, cold-hearted bitch with no real cares for anyone or anything except for herself. Not to mention she's a buck wild horny teen who craves the attention of males... Then most times whoops their asses after she gets what she wants. She takes joy in demoralizing people and committing sinful acts of all kinds, and has a personal appeal to seducing and tricking people into her own wiles. Though she has the capacity to work with people, she rarely does it, and usually works alone. Because of her heritage, however, she has a special liking for any sort of Traditional Japanese foods, and tends to become docile at even the very mention of these foods. She also seems to have a high respect and liking for people like her or (some) people that are more powerful than she is, so long as they seem cool. In short, she will do damn well anything she wishes to get what she wants, whether it be blood, sex, entertainment, or just the screams of those she hurts.



Taomin's Story
Taomin... A girl from a family of a long line of priestesses. From the day she became of age, she learned under her mother the ways of a priestess, the Divination of her heritage. Her family was not like normal priestess families, however, for if they made deals with the spirits and demons, themselves. If they were to forsake their priestess ways, evil would take over their bodies and change them, corrupt them... Demonize them. For the majority of her life, Taomin spent all of her days loyal and faithful to her priestess ways, all up until her 18th birthday... When she became 18, she began to question her priestess lineage and heritage. She began to wonder what she was doing this for, what the purpose of it was.. Why it even mattered. It was that moment that she gave up her ways as a priestess. Sooner than a week's time, she began to change for the worst, a powerful and high-ranking demon being promised to corrupt and become one with her body, mind and soul, making them one. Once this evil took over her body, she lost almost all sight of the ways of her priestess heritage. To keep her from reverting back to her normal self, her evil and new demonic will manifested into an evil sword with two blades on the hilt, able to flip downward to become a double-sided blade (something like Pit's from Smash Bros.) and able to flip back up to normal as if it were still a two bladed sword. The demon twin sword's name is Makkani, the manifestation of Taomin's evil and darkness to seal and hold her goodness in place. In addition to this, the demon merged with her became her own Living Shadow, which was both its own sentient being as well as a controlled part of Tao's own body. With her Living Shadow, Taomin no longer cast a real shadow, and her Living Shadow was incapable of casting a shadow, as well. Once she had locked away all of her holiness and goodness of her former self, she began the slaughter. She killed off her family fast, quick and in a hurry, making sure that none of them used their adept Divination to revert her back to normal, since only a talisman from the holy family is the thing that can make Taomin normal again. After that was done, she licked off the blood from her face and blade, smiled and went on her way, the final part of her transformation being complete; her black eyes turning a bright red for eternity. This was when she left her former home and became a nomad. As she traveled, she found out the extent of her demonic abilities. These ranged from her incredibly physical capabilities to Taomin the potent control over shadows and darkness as well as demons to get what she wanted. She used these key abilities to proceed with killing people and stealing at will. All those she fought with the darkness or shadow element seemed to have no effect on her whatsoever, for all of the shadows and darkness just made her stronger, most of which was to feed her blade. No other sorts of divinations besides ones from her family were even able to affect her, making exorcising the demon from her literally impossible. Tao also has some adept abilities in summoning and controlling evil spirits at her will, and various other spiritual abilities as well, due to her being a priestess/druid. Her manifestation of evil was getting stronger.




Form Changes
Tao also has her Demon Mode and Full Demon Mode. In Demon Mode, her red markings all over her body glow and allows her resistance to elemental attacks to increase, making their effects quite lessened. Like fire. She won't be burnt easily, if at all. Lightning... She can take a few direct hits from lightning and still keep going practically unharmed. Her need to breathe lessens as well, meaning she doesn't need air to breathe for long periods of time. Her speed and strength also double as well, as well as the power and speed of her talismans. Her body becomes extremely durable, moreso than before. Normally, Tao can take a direct cut from a sword and have it only do a tiny scratch, however in her Demon Mode, the cut would feel like a pillow, depending on the power it was slashed with. It's not impossible to penetrate her skin, just really hard.

Full Demon Mode is even more crazy than the Demon Mode. Tao's Living Shadow becomes her body, making Tao herself a living shadow. Now, just to be clear, you cannot control a living shadow because it has a mind of it own, and you cannot control Tao when she's in the Full Demon Mode with the shadow on her because of the fact that there are 2 minds and 2 wills allowing her to move, meaning that it would then take double the power and control to make them submit, which would be quite hard already. Now. Her markings still glow through the shadows Her sword elongates to twice its size and instead of just absorbing energy, it absorbs everything it slashes at, even an entire person. Tao also becomes able to open up the Demon Door and summon hte Forbidden Temple at will, which is very bad. Also, spiritual hands that will instantly destroy you if touched, called Vectors (For a reference, go watch Elfen Lied. <3). Lastly, she can eat shadows and darkness at will, as well as drown out all light around her. So if light comes around her, it instantly nullifies, regardless of power.



Summoning

Being a master of Demonology as well as Divination, Taomin has the ability to summon demonic entities as well as holy entities if she really needs to. The stronger ones usually need time to prepare and some actually have seals that need to be broken... Otherwise, she may summon them via Talisman.

Eventually, Taomin gained the ability to summon the Door of the Damned, which is basically something that will attack with the demonic soul hands of... doom... and stuff... and claw at your soul... and try to rip it from your body and bring it to hell... And stuff. The hands are infinite, and there is no way to close the door once opened, unless Tao herself is stopped from keeping it open. She is also able to summon up the Forbidden Temple, which is able to lock foes in an alternate reality for eternity with almost the same method, however instead of hands, it warps the realm that they are in and alters it to the realm of the dead, then sucks everything in. Sometimes it may just eat your soul and leave the lifeless body. Her talismans, tainted with evil, are her only weapons other than her sword. Ah, good times... And on a side note, her exorcisms now work both ways for evil entities as well as holy entities...
