PERSONAL DETAILS
DESCRIPTION:
Despite being twenty-four years old, Adelaide doesn’t physically look a day over nineteen. Vertically challenged since youth, she stands at 154cm and clocks in at a feathery weight of 44kg, adding to her deceptive and slightly masculine looks. Like many Europeans, she is of Caucasian ethnicity, left perpetually pale in tone due to having lived an almost exclusively indoor lifestyle. Her emerald-colored eyes are large and brimming with spirit, profiled in tandem with her features by soft blonde hair that hangs as low as the middle of her back, but is typically kept neatly tied in a ponytail so that only her oddly styled bangs are left untouched. She can easily be spotted in the crowd by the lone strand of hair that pokes up; to her dismay, no amount of styling product can keep that sucker down.
Adelaide’s upbringing and her personal life has a strong influence on how she chooses to appear before the public. During most, if not all of her business affairs, she matches her professional and rigid demeanor by wearing a three-piece suit colored black in all of its entirety, accessorized by a pair of matching leather gloves and cufflinks, and a silver bracelet worn on her right wrist. Whether a result of her great affluence or her own ineptitude with shopping for herself, she had the outfit custom tailored to meet her diminutive physique. Her work shoes are a pair of brown leather monk shoes, imported straight from Switzerland and kept polished on a regular basis.
On her days off, Adelaide freely abandons this formal dress code and adopts more of a casual look that better befits her feminine qualities but still manages to live up to her polished mannerisms. Her hair is braided and then curled so that it forms a cute little bun on the back of her head, and keeps it held there by a large, blue, velvet ribbon. She wears a plain white blouse with long, cuffed sleeves and a prominent collar where a second, smaller ribbon is tied. Fitted snugly over Adelaide’s waist is a pleated, navy blue skirt, with the waistband fitted so that it stops just below her breasts and hangs exactly at knee level. Full-length black stockings and brown, ankle-high boots complete her leisurely ensemble.
All it takes for Adelaide to assume her Demon Hunter guise is a single transition to Inferis, dramatically altering her outfits to adopt an opulent semblance fit for a woman of her class. The extravagant dress she wears is multilayered, made with both ease of movement and protection from the elements in mind. The bottommost layer is a simple white under-dress trimmed with petal-like frills near the knees, worn so it conceals her breasts and everything in between, including her arms. The upper layer is an overdress dyed a lavish royal blue tones and given gold trimmings near several of the seams, cut and fitted to better accent the white dress beneath it. The bosom is made with a T-shaped opening as well as a wide, symmetrical split down the front of the legs, while the shoulders are designed in a frumpy, puff bolero style until they reach the sleeves, which hug Adelaide’s arms snugly.
Finally, adding a tremendous amount of warrior attitude to her ensemble, Adelaide dons several pieces of fully functional armor. Distinctly speaking, she wears a fitted chestplate that has been decorated with ornate markings in sapphire color; silvered, articulated gauntlets and sabotons, and two, enormous metal tassets that shield the sides of her hips and upper legs, which are attached to a black cincher around her waist and underneath the chestplate, topped off with a large, blue loincloth that conceals the split in her dress, given more gold accents and finished with little tassels. In spite of the bulkiness of her so-called “battle ballgown”, Adelaide does not appear to suffer from any kind of movement or combat penalties while she wears it.
PERSONALITY:
As a rule of thumb, the first impression that someone leaves on other people is usually the one that lasts the longest. Adelaide is not exempt from this, although she is one of the few aberrations to this unspoken rule in which she can quickly change someone’s initial opinions of her through repeated exposure. At a glance, it’s not a farfetched notion to assume she’s the snobby rich girl type with little regard for the lower social classes. Her well-heeled refinement holds major control over her overall personality; Adelaide radiates sophistication with every word she speaks, and elegance seeps out of every action she takes. Surely her background must make her pretentious by default, right?
Hardly so, in fact. Her outwardly detached and stoic mannerisms are little more than a public masquerade to help her compensate for the fact that she is extremely inept on a social and personal level. Having struggled for so many years to live up to her parents’ expectations and being severely restricted in her contact with the outside world, Adelaide falls short in a wide number of aspects of daily living, aside from maintaining finances and paying taxes. Being completely immersed in the lap of luxury has its benefits, as well, but overexposure to having everything handed to her on a silver platter had a negative impact on her ability to sustain herself; were it not for the butlers and maids at her service, Adelaide would honestly fall apart at the seams.
Her near-total lack of common personal skills has taught Adelaide a valuable lesson in both gratitude and, by extension, humility. She’s fully aware of these shortcomings, but this doesn’t stop her from asking for assistance when she needs it, and will graciously show her appreciation to those that help her in return. Similarly, Adelaide is well known for her humanitarian tendencies, from volunteering at soup kitchens to donating money and food to charities and philanthropist organizations. She strongly feels that charity to others and the compassion it brings is its own reward, and will give whatever she’s able to, whenever she can.
Due to work-related issues and constraints, Adelaide isn’t given many opportunities to grow attached to anyone in particular, which leads others to conclude that she values her job more than she does having a social life. That’s partially correct, but only because she’s wise enough to know that her career is what’s keeping her financially afloat. However, this doesn’t insinuate that she is totally incapable of making friends—rather, it just serves to further emphasize her stunted social skills. Though her facial expressions will never show it, Adelaide is extremely shy around complete strangers, and will hardly go out of her way to talk to someone if she isn’t given explicit reason to trust or feel comfortable around them. Thankfully, she boasts a powerful sense of moral right and wrong that borders on uncanny, which helps her make wholesome decisions both in and outside of work, even when under intense peer pressure.
There are some who do succeed in gaining Adelaide’s trust. Those that do are quick to discover an adventurous and friendly young woman behind that mild-mannered frontage of hers. Fully in charge of her own agenda, she’ll make the most of whatever free time she has to spend going out on the town in search of the latest and hottest trends. Her lack of street smarts bleeds through during her strolls, and while she’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to engaging in “normal people activities”, she’s very eager to learn anything she can about whatever has got her attention if it helps her to simply do it better.
Her quiet and well-structured life has invariably been flipped upside down over the month's course. After meeting the grinning Alex Stone and the cheeky Lazarus Carter, her hidden Demon Hunter genetics have been forced to the surface against her will, and two visits to Inferis—one unplanned and one of her own volition—have dramatically changed her views of the way she sees herself and others, yet it is unclear as to whether or not she sees this transition in lifestyle as something that could be beneficial to her in the long stretch of things.
However, one thing can be said for certain: upon crossing over into the realm of Lucifer, Adelaide undergoes an evident shift in mentality. She behaves very much like a soldier would on the field of battle; her mind is steeled and focused, always thinking one step ahead of the game, even though she herself cannot fully comprehend how such feats can be accomplished. But as she learns to understand her gifts and potential, more questions about her genetic legacy begin to form. Exactly what are the Demon Hunters, and precisely what are their motives for doing that which defines their very existence?
Only time will unravel the answers.
HISTORY:
- BOOK I – LEGEND:
Adelaide’s lineage as a Demon Hunter spans as far back as the end of the 5th century, where her bloodline begins with the conception of the legendary Arthur Pendragon, son of Uther and Igraine. Uther Pendragon was renowned for his mighty strength and his endless quest to vanquish the creatures of the night, but despite this popularity, not even he bore the cleanest of slates. Arthur’s conceiving was a product of rape by deceit; Uther’s growing lust for Igraine had attracted the attentions of her husband Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall and a former vassal of his. After he made a public spectacle of his lunatic obsession with her, the Duke had her and their three daughters—Elaine, Morgause, and Morgana le Fey—escorted to Tintagel for protection, which Uther saw as a convenient excuse to declare war against him.
On the night that the Duke of Cornwall died in battle, Uther had contracted the assistance of the demon wizard Merlin to create a spell that would transmogrify his image into that of Gorlois’, under the condition that he would be given the resulting offspring as payment for the spell. After he was placed under the enchantment, he infiltrated Tintagel and bedded with Ingraine under the pretense that he was the Duke.
Shortly after Arthur’s birth, Uther upheld his end of the bargain and relinquished the infant to Merlin, where he was whisked away to the forest and placed under the care of Sir Ector, a noble knight errant that raised a son of his own, Kay. Sir Ector was instructed to train Arthur in the ways of the knight until he came of age, where he would fulfill a prophecy where he would step forth in Britain’s greatest hour of turmoil and claim the crown and the throne. He would eventually set forth his divinely appointed destiny by drawing the enchanted sword Caliburn from a stone pedestal at age fifteen, marking him as Uther’s true successor and the future king of Britain.
A vast majority of Arthur’s history as a king was either engineered or obscured by fantasies and myths to conceal his growing activity as a Demon Hunter. Like a medieval superhero, he ruled Britain kindly but justly when his audience was needed, only venturing outside of his realm on personal crusades to eradicate demonic influence wherever it arose, much like his late father had done. It was during the height of his rule that Arthur had embarked on a journey throughout all of Britain to recruit twelve of the strongest Demon Hunters of his time, resulting in the formation of the legendary Knights of the Round Table, whom were considered the human apotheoses of chivalry, honor, and justice in the name of God.
Sometime during his sovereignty, Arthur and his half-sister Morgause bedded with each other, unaware of their kinship, and conceived two children illegitimately. Upon realizing that their night of passion was an act of incest, Arthur had desperately ordered the infants to be split apart from each other and left to die in the wilderness. One of these children was discovered by Arthur’s second half-sister Morgana le Fey, who had grown into a powerful sorcereress due to her dutiful study of black magic and necromancy, and raised the child in secret, naming him Mordred. Over time, he would come to develop a powerful grudge against his father for his cruel act of abandonment, which eventually fostered into a form of curse that consumed the last of Mordred’s sanity during their final battle at Camlann. Though he dies by his father’s hand, Mordred used every ounce of his withering strength to inflict a fatal wound against the king, which played an integral role in his eventual demise.
Arthur was eventually taken to Avalon, the Isle of Apples and the place where his legendary demon-slaying sword, Excalibur, was forged by the fairies that lived there, where he was expected to recover from his wounds through the powerful angelic magic that resided there. Sensing his demise, the king ordered Sir Bedivere of the Round Table to dispose of Excalibur before he breathed his last, thus permanently extinguishing the reign of one of Britain’s greatest rulers.
Excalibur, and the fate of Arthur’s second illegitimate child, were forever blotted out by history and legend.
- BOOK II – CHILDHOOD:
The identity of Adelaide’s biological parents is currently unknown; somewhere within a month after her birth, as she was abandoned on the doorstep of a wealthy British couple’s mansion and were never heard from again. The child was the collateral result of a one night stand gone totally south, compounded by a length of indecisiveness in regards to whether or not the child should have been aborted. Adelaide’s life was fortunately spared due to conflicting morals on the mother’s part. Her adoptive parents, Winston and Lucia Kingsford, found the baby Adelaide at night during a rain shower when her crying alerted them of her presence, where they took her in and kept her at Lucia’s persistent requests. Days later, the infant was placed under their legal protection.
The Kingsfords were widely known throughout London as a respectable and powerful couple of private solicitors, and were repeatedly sought after by those who could afford their unparalleled but costly skills in the courtroom, as their hard-earned reputation was achieved through their zealous pursuit of justice for the greater good of society. Worried that exposure to public schooling might corrupt Adelaide’s moral compass and blemish her ability to make proper decisions for herself, Winston chose to have their adopted daughter tutored from the comfort of their private estate at the request of his loving wife.
Adelaide began her long and grueling education at the tender age of four years old. Taking full advantage of their wealth and resources, the Kingsfords hired the best tutors money could afford in order to completely enrich their adopted daughter’s learning experience. From languages to classical art and literature, equestrianism to formal dance, and even fencing and archery; whatever they believed would help shape her into a well-mannered lady in mind, body, and spirit, that was to be Adelaide’s next lesson.
But, as the old axiom says, all work and no play makes Jack and Jill a dull person. Adelaide slowly grew bored with her round-the-clock studies and desired to explore a world that was entirely foreign to her. On the days her parents were called out to investigate potential cases, she would sneak around the estate grounds, exploring places she was never allowed near without supervision. Her little adventures helped to spark a love of the unknown, which motivated Adelaide to spend lots of her free time in her father’s library, reading all kinds of books that were able to grab her attention.
On a moonlit night, when her parents had yet to return home, a nosey Adelaide returned to her father’s library and searched for a book to sate her curiosity. She had grabbed a large, dusty tome, one that was bound in a cover as black as midnight and engraved with all kinds of strange runes and hieroglyphs. Unable to hold back her spirit of inquiry, she opened the book and thumbed her way to a page at random, where her eyes were treated to an article on a creature that, according to the picture that accompanied it, could assume the form of anyone it desired; the words that detailed the article were written in French, a language she was in the process of learning.
She had managed to skim her way down the page until she reached a section that translated into a detailed process on how to summon this creature. But before she could act on the temptation and attempt to read the accompanying incantation, her father had suddenly burst through the library doors and found her daughter clutching the black grimoire with her eyes glued to the pages. Beside himself with fear and fury, Winston wrenched the tome away from his daughter and threw it into the fireplace nearby, harshly scolding her for entering his library without permission and snooping through things that didn’t belong to her.
With the tears flowing from her eyes, Adelaide ran off to her bedroom and simply cried herself to sleep, emotionally and physically overwhelmed with the guilt of having angered her father in a way she had never done.
- BOOK III – VIRTUE:
Much of Adelaide’s later teenage years were filled with the same nonstop studying and learning that her childhood was composed of. Her adventurous streaks hadn’t dwindled, either; however the incident with that black book her father burned had taught her a valuable lesson in earning trust and maintaining it. Though she had succeeded in repairing and strengthening her father’s credence in her throughout the last couple of years, Adelaide’s relationship with her mother had progressively grown more and more withdrawn, as if Lucia had underwent a complete change of personality and wanted nothing to do with her family anymore.
It was also at this point in her life where Adelaide had finally become sick of living up to her parents’ unreasonably high expectations of her. In an effort to lessen the burden of her overwhelming number of studies and give herself room to grow on a personal level, she negotiated a compromise with her father; she would complete a daily routine of duties and chores around the estate in exchange for a limited amount of free time, which she would be allowed to spend roaming sections of London that her father personally granted her access to. It took roughly two days before the terms of agreement were set.
Through diligence and hard work, Adelaide was able to repeatedly gain permission from Winston to wander the London streets, using her limited free time to search for the next thing to steal away her interest. As if it were a direct attack against her parents’ original fears, the lively Kingsford girl displayed staggering self-control over her moral principles, even in moments where her better judgment was put to the test. Her values would be challenged when Adelaide happened upon a distraught elderly woman; upon approaching to learn of her plight, she was told that a robber had stolen her valuables at gunpoint, and was likely getting away as they spoke. Unable to solve the problem directly but still feeling sympathetic for her situation, Adelaide guided the lady to the authorities proper for both counseling and to express the situation in better detail.
On her way back home that same night, she had pondered over the events that had transpired, feeling personally uplifted by her act of kindness and concern for a total stranger. This good deed set a new bar for her little strolls, and motivated her to perform as many random acts of generosity and selflessness as her time limit would allow, going so far as to make a game out of it on days she was bored stiff. The more she helped others, the clearer things became until she reached an epiphany: she could serve the people by pursuing a career as a solicitor, allowing her to continue helping those that were harmed or wronged while her parents could focus on bringing the criminals responsible for such wicked deeds to justice.
Just when Adelaide thought she had her future fully mapped out, her life would throw her a curve ball she would soon never forget.
- BOOK IV – TRAGEDY:
A few months before her nineteenth birthday, Adelaide had strengthened her relationship with her adoptive father to such a degree that he was fully confident in her ability to fend for herself, and would reward her studious behavior with an all-expenses paid gift of her choice. To his surprise and delight, Adelaide expressed her desire to pursue legal education, and requested that she enroll in the University of Law’s York branch, a request that Winston was more than happy to fulfill, seeing as he attended that particular branch himself. She would spend the next four years learning her trade, where she achieved her Bachelors of Law degree in human rights during her third year for outstanding academic performance. Her fourth year was spent taking the Legal Practice Course full-time, where she graduated cum laude and was awarded the prestigious honor of becoming a certified attorney at law.
Nearly two days before she would officially be ready to leave campus and return home to her London estate, Adelaide had received a letter that was stamped with her father’s personal sigil. Believing it was a letter of congratulations for her successful studies, a matured Adelaide—now twenty-three years of age—had opened the note in anticipation. What she felt instead was utter dread. In a sparse two lines of dialogue, the letter had read in hastily written cursive: “Don’t come home. Something has happened.” Adelaide was torn. Her father’s instructions were crystal clear, but lacked any grounds as to why they were issued. What could have possibly happened while she was away that would motivate her father to insist she stay over in York?
Hungry for answers, Adelaide hastily packed her belongings and made haste to London, her mind racing with growing anxiety about inciting her father’s anger but motivated that her concerns for their safety came first in priority. Upon returning to the Kingsford mansion, she had noticed all the lights were off, and at such an early time of night. She opened the door, and her heart sank deep into her stomach—the lights hadn’t been turned off; they were completely shattered and broken. The entire complex had been trashed to oblivion as if someone had broke into the place and burgled everything of value. Now feeling justified for going against her father’s request, Adelaide frantically searched the estate grounds for her parents until she was struck by a bolt of intuition, which led her to Winston’s library.
Shouldering her fears, Adelaide barged in to check the damage, and was horrified to discover that her father’s prized book collection was now in shambles. In the moonlight that shone in from the glass window behind her father’s desk sat Winston himself, drenched in his own blood and carrying a pistol in his hand. Devastated and panicking, she rushed over to aide him before he commanded her to stay back, pointing his gun in her direction. Before Adelaide was allowed to react to her father’s supposed lunacy, a hideous scream echoed from behind her before a shot rang out, silencing the source. She turned around and looked at whatever he had killed, and felt herself swallowed by pure horror.
A hideous creature that was not of this world laid dead, marinating in its blood and riddled with several gunshots, apparently from an earlier struggle with the most recent hole still smoking from the bullet’s impact. This thing was wearing her mother’s clothes, now tattered and ruined. Adelaide pieced the evidence at hand together; this monster had attacked her father, but had wounded him in the process. This was why he wanted her to stay back in York? Desperate for answers but far more worried for her father’s life, she tended to the wounded Winston and demanded she call the paramedics to have his injuries treated, but he adamantly refused, saying that the authorities would never be able to comprehend nor believe what had just transpired.
During the final minutes of his life, Winston had expressed to his adopted daughter a truth that he kept hidden from her for all of her life: he was a Demon Hunter, one of a select handful of people that were born with the genetic ability to enter Hell and eliminate the demons that spawn from there, and that their existence was to be kept highly classified and out of the public ears. Though he chose to abandon that lifestyle, evil still existed in the world in some shape and form, thus he took up studies in law to became a solicitor for the express purpose of making the world a better place; when Adelaide entered his life, he focused his life’s mission entirely on her, and wanted nothing more than to make sure she grew up without ever experiencing oddity or peril. Winston expressed his undying gratitude for being the light she projected into his dark life before he took his terminal breath.
Adelaide suffered a complete emotional breakdown that night, having lost her only family to a creature she was hard-wired to believe never existed in the first place. The corpse of whatever it was that assumed her mother’s form had disintegrated into a pile of dust, forever obscuring the truth behind her father’s demise from the rest of the world. A funeral service was held for her parents, attended by her and many employees of the law firm with which they both worked for, before she was legally granted full custody over the Kingsford estate and all of its assets at the young age of twenty-three.
For a full year, Adelaide struggled immensely to recover from the losses she suffered that night, further shouldered with the responsibility of keeping the details of the incident a well-guarded secret under the very real threat of being passed off as insane and shipped off to an asylum. Now plagued with nightmares that refuse to subside, it seems as though her sanity is on the verge of being pushed to the breaking point.
- BOOK V – AWAKENING:
A chance encounter with an effeminate-looking blond man would act as the very key to transforming the mild-mannered Adelaide Kingsford's entire life, for better or worse.
After an evening of personal meditation and expensive Indian cuisine, Adelaide suddenly found herself being inadvertently assaulted by one Alexander Stone, whom was flung from his bicycle after coming to realize a moment too late that his brakes had suddenly given out. While she escaped the ordeal with a few bumps and bruises, the older man had fractured several bones; one phone call of desperation later, and her chauffeur Cornell had arrived to pick the two up and take them to the hospital where Alex could get his injuries treated.
But in a sudden twist of events that would make M. Night Shaymalan's head explode, the solicitor was delivered a blow to the head, waking up hours later to discover that she had been literally dragged straight to Hell; what was worse, her chauffeur had actually been a Demon, a Blood Sword wearing the skin of an older man, and threatened to devourer the frightened, defenseless woman. Alex Stone would rush to the scene and fend off the creature, harming himself further in the process, but it was in her anguish as she watched on, unable to assist him, that she had finally awakened her dormant powers as a Demon Hunter by drawing the holy longsword, Caliburnus Albion, from a torsion in the air.
The battle had not been won without some kind of sacrifice, however, as Alex had defeated the Blood Sword in an act of logic-defying determination before she could enact on her desire to protect the dying young man, forcing the newly awakened Demon Huntress to carry his wounded, unconscious body to an Outpost where he was able to recover. After a moment of well-deserved solitude and personal reflection, Alex and Adelaide had crossed back over into Earth once more, and went about their separate ways with an awkward shake of hands.
Like any Hunter that was wet behind the ears, nightmares shortly followed after the ordeal. Images of the Demon entered her psyche, followed by the sudden surge of power and the glimmering sword between her fingertips. But her job never allowed her to look further into things, and all seemed to return back to normal. That is, until a visit to the Kew Gardens and an encounter with a purple-haired teenager with an eyepatch. A van full of armed men had rolled into the park out of nowhere and caused all sorts of havoc, yet the two of them managed to escape by the skin on their teeth.
Yet perhaps the single-most defining moment of her new supernatural career happened in the form of one Lazarus Carter, university student and an overall cheeky fellow. One spilled cup of coffee and a short exchange of dialogue later, and the redhead found himself acting as a last minute tutor for the lady Kingsford as they crossed over into Inferis once more, this time of Adelaide's own volition and from the comfort of her mansion estate. The goal at hand was to toughen her up, put some experience under her belt, acclimatise her to the hellish conditions of Inferis. But as they traverse through the twisted parallel of her manor and fight Satan's hordes as they go, memories from the darkest moment in her life have begun to slowly boil to the surface...
And, sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up to the Lady Kingsford.
