Name: Nerissa De Lacosta Delorme Saab
Age: 60
Sex: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Custos/Angel
The Supernatural Bit
Custos/Angel
Deity: Neptune – Roman god of the Sea
Faction: Sea serpent (megaladone) rider
Ethereal Form: She has four--- The first is when she is in the water and not riding Megaladone. She has black eyes – like a shark. A row of fines that runs from the base of her neck to the edge of her tail bone, picture a shark’s dorsal fin. She comes complete with a tail but don’t picture a mermaid. She’s has a shark’s tail. She wears enough clothing to cover the essential bits but doesn’t bother with anything else. She carries blades straight to her arms and waist and her hair has slight green-ish tint to it. The second form is when she is riding the very large shark she calls friend. It’s basically the same as the first form, just no tail. The third is her land-Custos form. It’s similar to the first two, right down to the fins down her back. Her wings are a tough, leathery gray color – think a great white shark’s hide – black eyes. She tends to wear a split skirt (with the split running all the way to her hips). Any clothing she wears in this form tends to come in military green. Her nails will lengthen out and harden into serrated, metal-like blades – think shark teeth. She carries a long sword with coral set into the hilt that she has lovingly called Storm Breaker. The forth and final form is her angel form, which she rarely uses. She employs it when she has to act like a nymph. Large, fluffy sea-green wings with matching hair and eyes. She wears a white robe that generally ends up very nearly transparent when it gets wet.

Personality
Out of all her siblings, Nerissa was the quiet, nerdy one. She likes to learn about things but generally isn’t all that great in social situations unless a large body of water is involved.

Basic History
Nerissa is the oldest of ten children. It’s really no wonder that one day she just snapped and gave up her position as general in her father’s army. Much to his annoyance, he’s never been able to find anyone with the same sense of ruthlessness as his oldest daughter. Oh so few Custoss these days are willing to yank out a subordinates heart in order to prove just who is the boss, half-breed or not. After leaving his army, Nerissa ran away to the Arabian Peninsula and decided to go play with sharks. Neptune was happy with this idea and gave her a Megaladone to ride around on. She headed up his force of Sea Serpent rides for a few years and then annoyed Neptune by having a kid.
Which, as Nerissa so kindly pointed out, was Neptune’s fault. She met Zahir on Neptune’s boat after all during a expedition to find some lost statuary. They met, dated, and married. Zahir’s mother never did approve of her son’s choice for a second wife. Once Zahid was born, the real action started,
Zahir was the headman of a formally nomadic group of Custoss. Due to a splinter group, one that proved to be much larger then those loyal to Zahir’s father, Zahir became a city boy long before Nerissa happened. Now this splinter group is still trying to wipe out Zahir and those loyal to him when Zahid was born.
The headman of the splinter group, nervous about his rival having a heir, sent a group of men to Zahir’s home to kill both woman and child. He’d done it before and succeeded but that had been a somewhat useless French woman and he’d taken the boy as his own. This headman’s men didn’t know just what skills Nerissa had up her sleeve. Not even Zahir knew all of his wife’s tricks.
When he’d rushed home after receiving the news that his wife and child were under attack, he found Nerissa calmly cleaning Storm Breaker with Zahid stared in fascination at the blood splatter patterns on the wall. Nerissa had a lot of explaining to do. Turns out it’s no so easy to tell your husband of eight years that you’re the oldest child of the Custos king of france, who also happens to the overlord of the fifth layer of hell. And that you used to be the general of his army.
All was hunky-dory for the next ten years. And that same headman tried it again. This time he succeeded in killing Zahir, kidnapping Zahid and very nearly taking Nerissa along with the boy. Megaladone was able to save her. And now Nerissa was out for revenge. She went to her father with the promise that she’d return as General if he’d just give her control of his cavalry for one day.
She used that force of mounted troops to rain death down upon that headman’s family out of the desert. Imagine what he must of have thought when he saw 500 Custoss mounted on full-and-half blooded hell horses with hell hounds running at their heels pouring down from a sand dune…
His death wasn’t pleasant. First, Nerissa corrected the man’s idea of her. And then she used Storm Break to slice him open from groin to chin. The only two people who weren’t killed in that raid were her son and his half-brother; that heir that the headman had taken as his own.
Now she and her son have taken to living in her father’s home in hell
