| Have you see the OVA or read the manga series of Hellsing? If so how far have you gotten? If not please direct your attention to youtube, and watch OVA 1-4 at least. Warning: If you have watched the anime we require you watch the OVA, or read the manga. The anime is not canon. This is not our opinion. This is the law set down by the creator of Hellsing, Kouta Hirano.Yep. Did so. Read and saw everything about Hellsing you can imagine. Name: Carmina Hancock aka 'Mina' aka 'Black Beauty' aka 'Tamer' aka 'The Cannibal' aka 'Beast' Age: 26 Gender: female Physical appearance: About 1,75meters tall Carmina is slender but nevertheless quite feminine since she has got F-cups -which she often curses in combat because they are so impractical, even if they men really attract what she enjoys a lot!- and a very pretty face with ripe, red lips. Her skin is almost white but her hair with a deep parting at the right of her head reaching to her west is deep dark brown while her eyes are red like bloody rubies because she’s almost an albino and her glance impresses always a mix of a thoughtful melancholy and a skeptical disgust. In fact the only colored parts of her body are her hair, her lashes and her eyebrows. However it is possible that she has darkened them since she even has got emerald green contacts to make her look a bit more 'normal' if she's in public. An other matter of fact worth mentioning is that one of her legs is missing. So Carmina has got an artificial limb instead of a 'normal' left leg. However this prosthesis is quiet a piece of high technology so it is almost more solid and better than her natural one. (I will use pictures by Victoria Frances and my Manga-Me by Headshotmaster for avatar) Clothing of choice: Carmina prefers elegant gothic clothes. Mostly she wears dark jeans, narrow shirts (usually black, dark red, violet or brown colored) with a deep neckline that stress her curves, decorated with ruffles and lace. Furthermore she has something like a boot fetish, so she has got lots of black leather boots, both military or outdoor proofed and high heeled. She loves wearing long dresses, leather corsets and black coats, too and her slogan if it comes to talking about fashion is 'black is beautiful'- just as you would expect from a woman who really cares about holding a certain kind of victorian lady gothic style. Steampunk is fine with her, too. It seems impossible to meet her without silver jewellery. She always wears a cameo necklace and ring –what gives a proof for her passion- as well as earrings with red precious stones. Weaponry of choice: Her preferred weapon is quite a long, black leather whip with silver thorns. Furthermore she has got a L85A1 Riffle, a sword called 'Vindicator' and a silver dagger, covered with old, Celtic runes which she hides in one of her boots. Whip| Spoiler: | | |  |
>>Vindicator<<:

An about 4 feet long sword. Both sides of the holly silver blade are so sharp that cutting with it through an human body seems so easily like cutting butter. It can be used both with one single hand and even with two and was forged by her direction.
L85A1 Riffle with SUSAT

Weight: 4.98 kg Length: 785 mm Barrel length: 518 mm Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt Rate of fire: 610-775 rounds/min Effective range: 650 m Feed system: 30 round detachable STANAG magazine
Dagger

Length: 54 cm Blade length: 30cm
Race: Special Human
Abilities: What makes Carmina being a special human is that she seems almost unable to feel pain if she gets hurt (except someone would cut her leg or arms or something like that off, of course!), she is extraordinaryly fast and even stronger than an average girl – and she has a very special relationship to animals. It seems as if they would always understand what she wants them to do and they follow her orders, just like Mina knows what her little friends want to tell her, so it is said that she can speak with wild creatures.
However her true talent is that she can read peoples mind if she can keep direct eye contact for about a minute or more if her opponent has got a strong mental barrier and even use telepathy to communicate – and she developed this skill to control animals time limited as well. (How long she can use them for her purposes depends on the race and about how trusting the certain animal was already before she controlled him.[in any case not longer than 4 posts and she has to have a break from controlling for at least 10 posts.]) So it is supposed that she probably can control humans –or at least such ones with a weak will-, for a short time, too, if she only develops her talent still further.
A very well eyesight gives her the possibility to see almost perfectly in the dark or about high distances. But her amazing eyes can even be a disadvantage, for example when the sun is shining bright. So she always has to wear sunglasses if she’s out by day.
Moreover she is extraordinary agile and that is what she uses together with her rapidness in battle to chain people with her whip, to immobilize them and more. It is very useful for fighting with her dagger and her sword -her favorite instruments of mutilation-, too. Black Beauty has quite a good knowledge of human nature and even very good reflexes and these two aspects make her appearing as if she could foresee her opponent’s next action. That and the reckless, violent way she fights as well as her red eyes is why she is even called ‘the Beast’. Furthermore her artificial leg is extremely robust because it’s made out of human skin like varnished adamantium what gives her the possibility to use it to protect herself from bullets, fire doesn’t harm it and she can even destroy doors or even some walls and so on by kicking them with it easily– at least if they aren’t too thick.
Another fact worth mentioning that cooking is one of her passions, the more precious the ingrediants are, the better.
Organization: Millenium
Personality: Carmina is quite a pragmatic, clever, ambitious, reserved, cold and serious woman who seems to know neither mercy nor clemency and never acts without thinking about what she's in progress to do. She has a very dark, cynical, cruel sense of humor and torturing people physical and even psychical or even watch how they get tortured is one of her quite sadistic passions.
However she just can’t stand it if someone harms animals –which she really loves what had been the reason for her to become an animal tamer- or the nature. That’s why it is quiet easy to get it that the young and beautiful woman is a misanthrope -just like a vegetarian because she never could harm a brute, however it isn't really sure what she's doing with the corpses of her victims...but she has got a nickname that gives a slight idea of what someone she invents for dinner might see there...- who can't stand people touching her and so on, who feels sick of disgust if she has to spend time in a huge crowd. From her point of view most people deserves to die, no matter if they are humans, lycanthropes or vampires. Her opinion is that they are usually stupid, worthless and miserable creatures who only destroy a world that is so much more special, beautiful and important than every single one out of them.
Furthermore Carmina is very skeptical and trusts in no one, even if she talks with almost everyone quite outspokenly because she don’t care about other people’s opinion, about what they think of her and what they know. Insteed of that she likes it to manipulate them -especially because she has got a high IQ from about 140 points- and to use them since she feels nothing for anyone. The reason for that is to find in her tragic past and a conclusion of her skepticism. Because the woman is sure everyone is a liar and you have to care only for yourself if you want to have a chance to survive, she had become quiet selfish and cold. The ancient tamer is even quiet proud of her beautiful body and face and cares a lot about that what makes her seeming quite narcissistically. That might be why she becomes easily very angry if something doesn’t happen like she wants to. The fatalistic way she sees life is why just everything, e.g. politics, religion, life, death, embarrassing situations, hopeless situations doesn’t matter to her - and Mina really emphasizes that everything ranking among her is her own good.
This egoism is why she has got a serious problem with obeying authorities. Usually, she prefers to be the one who gives orders instead of doing what she is told. But since she knows what is good for her, she can keep her arrogant unruliness under if the person speaking to her could be a danger for her welfare. However, if someone who is no threat to Carmina wants to force her following his orders, Beast has not the slightest awe to cut this someone down to size - what means to her the same as to ice him. Since she is quite ambitious to rank up to get a higher position, killing weaker superiors is just a means to an end to her.
But nevertheless good manners are very important to Cannibal. She disgusts gocheness and people without honor and a lack of tact are still more endangered to become her next 'toy' or even 'snack'.
You may think she is a very strong personality and she certainly is quite dominant, independent and extremely temperamental, nevertheless able to control herself and her feelings and gestures if she wants to in a way that makes her seeming almost emotionless, but if she comes to like someone, she clings more to him or her than she would ever admit since she thinks that would be a kind of weakness. Nevertheless Mina might appear somewhat impish, almost heartless against everyone in public and really wants to keep that front. But there’s one thing on earth she really loves and can hardly hide that: cats! Especially big cats. She loves their soft pelage, their bright, beautiful eyes, their pride and independent nature… so she really can forget everything else if she only gets the possibility to hug one of this animals.
Furthermore Carmina is interested in reading Nietzsche, Poe, Tolkien and Lovecraft as well as in some metal bands, mostly misanthropic ones like Samsas Traum. She often uses quotes by her favorite authors and bands in conversations.
Rank: Leutnant (Assassin, Executor, Spy and Chef in one person!)
Biography: Carmina was born 5th of November 1977 into a rich Romanian family. She had been really well educated, but had even to follow quite a strict code of behavior what certainly didn’t fit that good with her temperamental nature. Even if she got everything money could buy she still felt quite uncomfortable in being a ‘young lady’ -even if she loved those precious dresses and jewelleries she got- but she tried to keep smile, just because she knew that there were so many other people in her country who really would give up everything for such a life in material luxury, and she didn’t want to be ungrateful.
Her outstanding IQ from about 140 points was the reason why most people thought she was 'strange' from the very beginning of her life on. While other children has been watching cartoons or something like that, the young girl preferred the Discovery Channel. When her classmates called Spiderman their hero, she favorited Beowulf. She always had a deep interest in history, philosophy, nature, myths and legends, especially in creepy ones and horror, so she read a lot of scientific books. When she grew up she began to interest in novels too, however. In no time the ten aged girl had found out which kind of literature was hers: only a few authors, but absolutely every book by them was a pleasure to read for her. Her faves became J.R.R Tolkien, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Oskar Wilde, Thomas Harris and H.P. Lovecraft. She was –and is still- fascinated in mystery and fright and even the human insanity is fascination for her. So it’s not surprising that she admires this seven writers the most because of their kind of expression and their extraordinary inventions, their visions of fear, the way they describe both, the worst madness and the most brilliant genius and even how they use symbols in epic stories which she always interprets at her own kind of view to give them a deeper sense. But what should be note is that her idol was not a 'real' person but a invented one: Dr. Hannibal Lecter. It was while reading the Hannibal Trilogy by Thomas Harris when she decided that she wanted to study psychology after finishing school. Her fascination for this cannibal genius coined her life and character development maybe more than you would think by the first sight.
So the young girl spent her childhood in dark thoughts, exploring both, the human mind and the history of the world and when she was eleven she didn’t longer seem to be a child but a bitter adult in mind what made it again more difficult for the calm outsider girl to come along with other kids. They thought she was strange, called her names but that did the little lass never mind. Sometimes it seemed as if she would life in her own world, not noticing what happened around her. Her indifference was because she felt good like she was and she had her goals which she wanted to reach. That her closest friends was books was okay for her – until she was about 13. There was a feeling inside her starting telling her, that only dreaming, reading and sometimes writing was not enough. There had to be more. She decided: She would take action.
Carmina joined a fencing club because she thought it could be interesting to get the skills she admires the most at the knights of the past and she supposed that a sport whom demand concentration and even agility might be very well for her constitution and make fun for her. It obtained quite fast that she was gifted in fencing. So it’s not surprising that she loves it still today and that one of her favorite weapons is a sword. At the same time she joined a shooting club, too. Her calm nature made aiming to no problem for her, even if she wasn’t as good in shooting as in fencing.
With about 16 years the pale girl became a part of the subculture of >Gothics<. She liked their styles, their music and a lot more –and still does- but she had to recognize that she wasn’t able to identify with the ethical ideals etc. of this group at her school. They weren’t only Gothics, they were Satanists too and she saw no sense in praying to the Lord of Hell. (She even doesn’t pray to any >Gods< or something like that. She’s an Atheist because she dislikes the idea a higher, unknown power could rule her life and fate. She thinks Religion is useless and only a cause for fanatics to start wars and killing and brings nothing but misery, fear and death to the world - another reason for her to think the human race is nothing but scum. ) So she left this creepy teens again, even if she kept their kind of style – and humans around lost more and more the importance to her.
That was when her rather enjoyable life should change drastically. When her parents recognized her daughter ignoring people around her because of her growing disgust towards the average humanity but talking to animals, they thought she would have lost her mind and so they sent her to a psychologist who should ‘fix’ that again but since she wasn’t insane there wasn’t anything to give therapy to, either. But of course no one believed her and the procedure continued – until her psychologist decided that there would be no way to ‘help’ Carmina anymore but heavy psychotropic drugs – and her family agreed. What followed was a time full of pain, agony, terrible suffering and isolation. The young woman herself almost started believing she would have become mad but she got easily that giving up would make only everything else worse. What sustained her to get through all this tortures was that her most beloved author Nietzsche had even been sent to a lunatic asylum but…she had never believed that he really had been mad because such a great philosopher just couldn’t be insane! So Mina felt confident that she wasn’t, either!! When the clever and temperamental girl just saw a little chance to escape this hell on earth because her minders seemed to be busy with something else she took it and run away without thinking about any consequences since she couldn’t imagine anything worse than that! That was when she was 15.
The following months she had to manage somehow to survive in the wild by her own, suffering from heavy withdrawal symptoms because of the psychotropic drugs but not having the heart to go to a town and to look for help or at least a job because she thought she could be found by her parents or someone else looking for her and she was very afraid of the discipline she surely would have to await. That is why the girl lived hidden in the deep forests of her home country, loving her newly acquired liberty at first and surviving by using her talent with animals to get what she could eat, what not and where she could pass the night safely. That was alright in summer and even in autumn, but when winter started, Carmina had to recognize that she wouldn’t be able to bear the hard frost – but fortunately she met someone who gave her the opportunity of a whole new life. Several days after she had become 16 the young girl reached a strange place, full of funny looking people in costumes, wild animals in cages and quite colorful tents. It was the winter camp of a traveling circus.
Fascinated by this quite unusual place she walked through the wide camp until she reached the tiger cage. Immediately under the spell of this big, mysterious, wonderful cat Mina tried to get into conversation with it what didn’t passed unnoticed by the circus director. He approached her, recognizing her very special talent when she was petting the now purring softly tiger that had killed the circus’ last tamer and he made her quite a seductive offer: she could join the circus and become the new tamer – and Mina agreed.
That was when she got her new stage name because of her new job and her appearance as well as her other talents she used there for acrobatic shows: the Beast.
What should be mentioned is that Carmina lost her leg there when she was 19 while trying to perform a very dangerous stunt at the trapeze. But since the circus had some mysterious connections to every kind of ‘useful’ people she was given her amazing artificial limb what made her getting over this loss relatively easily.
However, the circus director didn’t use his very skilled workers only for shows; he even had another, much more profitable business for them: incursion and contract killing.
Because of her agility, her knowledge of four languages (Romanian, English, French and German because of her favorite music as well as Latin what was barely useful for this jobs), her merciless, efficient fighting style as well as her possibility to use animals for absolutely inconspicuous ‘spies’ to keep watch while a break-in and her deep loyalty to the director since she was grateful for the new life he had given her, Tamer became quickly one of his best operatives, never bringing anything in question, always doing what she was told to do and fulfilling every mission without any remorse. Humans had lost every importance to her while her long suffering at home and the following time in the wilderness.
The fact that there was nobody who could withhold her from any information because she just could read his mind made her to the perfect spy – and so her boss vest her on a very special mission one day. There were an old laboratory where strange looking people in obsolete Nazi uniforms would practice some obscure researches. The director warned her several times that this guys were enormous dangerous and surely no 'playmates' for her. All he wanted Carmina to do was to spy what they were doing there exactly.
But she ignored his warnings to be careful and so, she started the mission in a more creative way than she usually was used to: she flirted with one of the soldiers, claiming her car had a flat tire. Mina succeeded so far that the man was really attracted by her - but not in a classically romantic way. He wanted to rape her - and Beast made clear that she was not his whore by putting her dagger into his head. Annother soldier witnessed this scenario and came to 'kill this damn slut' - and in his mind, the young woman was able to read about Millenium, about the plan to destroy London, about artificial vampires and after breaking the man's arms to bites by an incredible fast attack with her sword and her adamantium leg Carmina chained her victim with her whip.
So this man became her ticket for an hearing by the commanding officer - and after a long conversation and demonstration of her skills the Romanian woman was allowed to join Das Letzte Bataillon.
Since Beast had developed quite an exquisite taste and taught herself to cook to satisfy it she became chef in Millenium's lunchroom - and Cannibal's bloody but cordon bleu formulas became very popular with the soldiers.
Furthermore she's often forced to use her skills as a spy, or even an assassin as well as an executioner, famous for her cruelty and sadism. Concerning that Carmina often notes proudly, that 'It's quite an advantage for a chef to be the one who decides how a delinquent has to be executed - you can take care that the most delicious parts of the flesh stay untouched and use them afterwards for preparing the dinner.'

| Good job. The character is extremely detailed and well thought out. The only thing I am not quite sure about is the talking with animals but it is fine.

| First off, explain to me how she got this immunity to most pain. That sounds a lot like a medical condition another member has in their bio (I'm not saying you copied them, just siting because I can't remember the name). Check out Stein in the approvals if you want to know what it is.
Like the others said, the animal talking is kind of out of universe, but I'm fine with it as long as you don't go all Mary Sue with it or use it to god mod ("This fly happened to overhear secret plans and told them to me!"). In fact, this is what you said she does in her bio, so keep it in check.
With the abilities, be careful with the mind reading stuff. That's a very hard thing to not god mod with, since you can do the same thing I said above, but without the fly. Put some kind of limiter on their, at least.
Your comments on the rank bother me; for one, her style of fighting and general personality don't seem to fit an assassin at all. You also didn't mention anything about her being able to cook in her abilities section, but at the end of her bio. This isn't a problem, but it just feels out of order for me.
Another thing; if she was so loyal to the ring master, why did she up and leave him for Millennium right after one of their soldiers tried to rape her and the other tried to kill her? It also doesn't seem like the Major to just let someone who maimed and killed two of his men right up in his space for no real reason.
She also seems to take to everything she does with ease, which is a serious red flag to me. This is a very Sue tendency and gives the possibility of god modding, once again, if all you need to do to learn a new skill is do it a couple times. Also, watch your spelling and grammar; you have a lot of mistakes.
In conclusion, I'm seeing a lot of Sue tendencies in this sheet, but not enough to slap a disapproval on it just yet. I feel this character can be salvaged if you're willing to change some of these things; even taking just a few of my suggestions will help this sheet tremendously. With all this said, I'm going to hold off on my vote for you. |

| Well, this ‚almost no pain feeling‘ stuff I used already some time ago in the ability section of an old character of mine(Selina Gorgo). Maybe that’s what you meant? I admit that I’ve reclaimed a lot of the attributes of my two older charas since they both are deleted and out of play. What I had in mind with her pain resistance is that she had to bear so many experiments and so she had become somehow ‘used’ to sufferings like this.
I’ll give my best not to god mode, I promise. I constrained the mindreading thing by writing that she needs direct eye contact for about a minute or more if her opponent has a very strong will. Is that ok? I even changed her animal control a bit. Since everyone commenting my chara mentioned he or she don't like that idea I even can delete this part entirely, even if I actually never intended to use it that often. It's just the idea of lower telepathy that lead me to write this paragraph and maybe the option to use it for some jokes, especially regarding Leto and his phobia.
Concerning the loyality: she joined Millenium just because everything they want is war. Carmina is a misanthrope and hates nothing more than humankind and seeing humanity exterminated would be the most wonderful pleasure to her she ever could imagine. Well, about the joining thing I’m still thinking how to make it believable. *sighs* But I didn't expect, that would be such a problem. I mean, Walter killed a whole groupe of Nazi soldiers back in 1944 and all the Major saied about that was 'you're very skilled boy. Don't you wanna join us?!' I don't remember the exact wording anymore but that was roughly what Montana was like.
Well, I thought the ability-section would contain only stuff like the fighting skills. I added the cooking.
…and I know that my English still needs a lot of improvement..x_X

| Thank you for giving some background on the pain, pushing back the animal stuff and telepathy. The difference between you and Walter is he was just a little kid while you're nearly an adult. If you had to pick this insanely powerful boy who uses nano-wires to kill things over someone who, as far as you know, can break arms and stab people in the head, which would you rather make the effort of getting over.
The English is the biggest problem, but with misspellings flying everywhere, it gets to be a pain on the eyes. I can tell you're trying there too, which is much appreciated.
While I still have some problems with this character, I think you've done enough for the moment. I'm not sure how many approvals we're going by anymore, so I'll hold off on the moving until someone tells me.
