This is...different. What do you expect from her in the latter part of the RP when she's relatively stronger?

Might regret it later but eh, here's a CS
(Not sure about many things on this though, so please help me out here >.<)
Spoiler
Name: Vivian
Race: Alraune
Personality: Despondent, only following orders around like a doll. Secretly has a very inquisitive nature, but never voices it out loud.
History:
War. What a curious act it is. Men oppress their own people for resources, promising a greater good when the war is won; and they proceed to bear their arms against each other, taking lives from each other, until nothing but ocean of corpses, and a handful of surviving 'victor' were left.
What purpose does it serve? To defend the "good" from "evil"? But who gets to decide what's "good" and what's "evil"? The victor? What about the defeated? The vanquished? Don't they too, have their own sets of "goods" and "evils"? What would happen to their beliefs? Their ideals?
I would not know.
All I know is that their blood; their corpse; their rage, and their regrets; are what help me grow and bloom. They sustain me. And in turn, they will serve as a catalyst. The catalyst that will hasten the revival of Typhon.
Abilities/Talents:
+ Parasitic Body: Vivian could use her spores to control corpses. The control is very limited at first, but will grow as Vivian's power and experience grew. In the event of her main host's death, she could transfer to nearby controlled corpse, given that there are any. Vivian's main host, however, have to be a female.
+ Magic Resistance: Vivian has a naturally strong resistance to magic. Or rather, she is capable of absorbing magical energy from the vicinity to a certain degree. When she put her effort into it, she is also known to be capable of weakening or even erasing magic.
+ Natural Healing: Vivian is capable of refining absorbed magical energy, and infuse it to her host's body. This increases the healing factor and physical strength of her main hosts, giving them uncanny strength one would not expect from their frail exterior.
Just curious, but what exactly is here specie? She's some sort of parasite? Or a group of parasites?

Possibly interested.
The more, the merrier.
I like everything about that suggestion. If you are fine with it, it is swell. I was aiming for a more monstrous side of the gorgon but this semi-Lamia type would do well for a Charm Spell.
Also thanks for the Typhon nod. I was aiming for his daughter but wasn't sure about the timeline of the collapse, so I want her to be a great-granddaughter. Possibly, around 20 years in age still not at the peak of her charm. I have just the perfect advanced form for the pic you suggested.
Here are my suggestions. Just tell me if something doesn't fit to your liking.
Abilities/Talents:
- Petrifying Glare will be turned into somewhat of a curse and will activate when the conditions are met. I was thinking of something along the lines of "Those who succumb to Medusa's charm or to their own lust slowly undergo a process of petrification when in her presence." Throughout the RP, this curse may be altered and modified into something else completely. Abilities and other spells can stem of this one.
- Arcane Potential - With this one, Medusa would get an affinity to the arcane arts. This would give her a higher proficiency in learning magic and grant her some sort of resistance and a large pool of magical energy.
- Stealth - Instead of this, I would suggest maybe something like a set of physical abilities that would allow you to achieve a relative degree of stealth. Since Gorgons are snake-like, maybe you could make use of that? Slithering, skin shedding, maybe include poison generation and body temperature manipulation. You could also include some sort of enhancement to her senses like a snake's?

What kind of technical advancement are we looking at?
CS:
SpoilerProbably what end game looks like
Spoiler
Name:
Medusa
Race:
Gorgon
Personality:
Loyal to Typhon only, others are just means to achieve her motive of putting Typhon back in charge and begin another golden age.
History:
The history of Gorgons is a long and amusing one. One of the most feared Anathema elites under the Alidan Command, it is said that they were the first ones to be turned to beasts by the spite of the God they conspired to kill and in his rage he cursed them with high potency but almost no longevity and an interesting bit. If a female was to be ever born to this tribe, she would hold the might of the ancient tribe but that chance was almost impossible. Thus began their brood, a tribe of monster serpentine goliaths that had almost ephemeral lifespans, none living to each past early adulthood.
Though they had highest charm among the despicable beasts that survived the Usurping, they never were lucky with their offspring until the first Woman Gorgon was born. Stheno the Fearsome, a terror of diabolical proportions that terrified the lands of Revea before the times of Typhon. It took a massive offensive to kill her and the losses were heavy but Gorgons came back into the limelight and in fables.
Then came the time of Typhon and the Second Gorgon of note, Euryale. Some say that she was his second wife, a symbol for the Anathema that they were like kin to the mad emperor. It is also said that her terrifying leadership and loyalty was what drew out the battle for destruction of Typhon for such a long time.
Now, as if by fate, a third one has been born. What terror would she unleash is not known for now but some say that you can catch a glimpse of both Euryale and Typhon in her, provided you are not turned to stone, that is.
Abilities/Talents:
Abilities: Petrifying Glare - She can stun people temporarily as a fight or flight response.
Arcane Potential
Stealth
Just to make things clear, the setting for this RP isn't completely dark/serious, just pointing that out.
No problem with your character. I could suggest an image for you to use. Maybe this?
I'll be altering Petrifying Gaze and tie it with the Gorgon's nature to charm its foes. I'll be buffing Arcane Potential and Stealth too. I'll post the revamped versions later.
Given the picture I suggested, maybe you could Medusa could be a gorgon with human blood, which explains her more socially acceptable features. Of course, she'd be some sort of descendant to Typhon.
If you want her to be more monstrous in the latter parts of the RP, go for it.

Not exactly; I think a better term would be a "noob monster". Not necessarily weak, but nothing extraordinary. Basically pseudofodder.
