- Sanguinius Blood: Like most of her species, Lennidus benefits from heightened physical abilities, from her senses to her agility and strength. Her lineage also allows her to heal from wounds exceptionally quickly.
- Hunter's Instincts: Lennidus is, first and foremost, a hunter. As such, she's trained for hundreds of years to be the most efficient she can be in tracking and killing.
- Mastermind: Always thinking several steps ahead, no matter what.
- Silver Allergy: When exposed to silver, her skin blisters and can lead to severe and even permanent injuries the longer she's exposed to it.
- Photo-Sensitivity: Ultraviolet lights have a similar effect on Lennidus as silver, burning and even injuring her depending on how long she's exposed to it. If she's ever caught out in sunlight for too long, it will result in her death.
- Blood Dependency: Being vampiric, Lennidus is heavily reliant on a strict diet of blood, and if she doesn't feast regularly, her mind will slip into a state of increasing madness until she isn't able to control herself. If she succumbs to this level of madness, it would be expected of others in her coven to put her down as the only humane action.
Born on Eshan to an Echani mother and Sanguinius Vampirika father, Lennidus was taught at a young age that she was different from most. She required a specific diet shared by her father and his coven that would help in raising her. Her father was a strict man, instilling proper etiquette and nothing less than ideal form in everything she did.
When she began growing her hair longer, her father thought nothing of it, having a head of long white hair himself. When she began wearing gowns like her mother, that was when her father intervened. He had raised her as a boy, as "Ventides III," heir to the Effriem estate. That honor instead went to her younger brother after Lennidus was estranged from the family for refusing to carry down its name.
It was then that she looked to the rest of her father's coven for guidance, finding it in a man named Facilles who would aid in her transition to the woman she was. She would spend the next hundred or so years learning under him in the way of the hunt, staying in contact with her mother and occasionally her brother, while her father remained adamant about his decision.
While on the planet Ruuria, Facilles and Lennidus would become separated from one another on a hunt and she was left to fend for herself for weeks. It was the first time she had dealt with real hunger, and she had never felt such desperation for blood. Living off of scraps while trying to make her way out of the jungle, she would eventually find Facilles again, having fully succumbed to the hunger madness. Lennidus reluctantly ended the man's suffering, knowing that he only could have gotten himself lost if he had been searching for her.
Vowing never to hunt with anyone else's aid ever again, she took to the galaxy on her own, resigned to inevitably meet her end without another life needing to end on her behalf. At least, another life she didn't despise. She had come to be mistaken as a bounty hunter, tracking and killing those who had committed heinous crimes, but the only bounty for her was their blood.
During the time of the Galactic Civil War, she had primarily been located on the planet Halamir, picking off the irredeemable criminals who had gone in hiding there with the refugees. Her presence became feared in one corner of the planet, but few were able to catch glimpses of her in the dark of night.
Eventually, when Halamir had developed on its own and become more self-sufficient and secured, she left for various other planets that were known to be hives for the most awful the galaxy had to offer. Only in times of desperation would she hunt someone who didn't deserve it, but taking blood from someone didn't necessarily have to lead to their deaths.
Her most recent stop that she's been residing at for over a hundred years has been the planet Hoylin as part of a coven of vampiric individuals. Led by a Garhoon known as Abyless, the site of their cathedral had been a cursed one. Stories tell of a woman who began the coven thousands of years ago to have spread tainted blood throughout the woods for miles that forever changed them, making some nights last for days or even weeks only for those to be caught among its tainted soil. Whatever the case, the woods made for ideal hunting grounds, practically a world unto itself whenever a night became pale or bloody. She remained a lone hunter, but one that was respected among the coven no less.
