Kraven the Hunter

Name: Sergia Kravinoff

Villain Name: Kraven The Hunter

Age: 50 years old

Appearance: Sergia is 7’6” tall woman with a muscular build that’s made entirely for stamina, strength, and endurance. Her nails are filed down with her knife and she has a high number of natural callouses that give her skin a rough texture. Her hair is short and blonde sleek feathered pixie with tapered undercut that’s spiky and pointed back to make her harder to grapple and more aerodynamic. She has scars from various weapons, talons, claws, horns, and tusks that have tried to kill her. She has blue eyes with freckles on her shoulders and face. She wears a brown leather waistcoat that’s has a white stripe in the front with an open back that connects to a brown leather collar on her neck that has threaded black twine making x’s around it. She also has a lion’s mane that lines her neck like a scarf. And the teeth of several panthers on her bracelet. Around her neck is a string necklace that has a fang from every large feline man eater she’s hunted. Her pants are made out of cheetah fur and her boots are made from the leather of a black rhino. Her skin is slightly tanned.

Personality: Kraven is a very proud and loving person who personally takes time out of her day to appreciate and respect her family’s hobbies. To her there’s nothing more cherished than strength and family. Of course, that’s only for a time, she knows one of her children will try and kill her to inherit her great hunt. She’s excited for the day one of her kin can best her to be honest. Although she knows they probably won’t be able to pull it off. But she has high expectations. Of course her great hunt is to find someone who can actually beat her and kill her in combat.

She’s a very sensual and sensitive partner, she genuinely loves very hard. She’s a very kind soul to the love of her life. She looks for strength or submission from her partner, not in a domineering way, she respects her partner’s submission. But if they are ready to dominate her she will be more than happy to let them try, but she’s not going down easily.

Sergia is a master of combat and hunting. To the point her super senses can let her hear and see a fly over a mile away and hit it with her knife. In her rustic mansion she has a grand dining hall, a master bedroom, dozens of maids, her group of mercenaries called The Hunters, a room for Dima, her study, and her trophy room.

Quirks: Sergia isn’t without mercy, if she hunts within a city or town she’ll minimize the damage she does so it doesn’t hurt innocents. Of course as soon as anyone tries to stop her she’ll just kill them, but she’ll send flowers and a handwritten note to the family after her hunt.

Sergia has a deep and appreciative love for nature and animals. The only animals she hunts are ones that are considered dangerous to the environment or man eaters. She won’t kill any animal unless she has a reason to, and she always makes sure to respect the body by eating the meat and using the fur to make items. She will take care of the cubs of an animal she’s hunted as well and will release them into the wild when they’re ready.

Though her husband is dead she didn’t feel sadness, she knows he tried, but the Titanoboa was stronger. She doesn’t mourn unless her family members die in peaceful ways.

Achievements: Sergia’s favorite hunt was when she was in the Arctic hunting down a Wereyeti, it took her three months of brutal survival eating polar bears and drinking their blood before she finally found the elusive Wereyeti. When she finally engaged in combat with it, the battle took over two days with it running and regenerating every night until Sergia carved its heart out to finally kill it. She spent two more days in the Arctic skinning and fastening the hide of the Wereyeti into a cloak she could wear. She walked over two hundred miles back to civilization before calling in a personal helicopter to take her back home.

She hunted down a famous human killing tiger in India and raised its cub to act like a hunting dog/bodyguard. She named it Dima.

Her first hunt she didn’t have any weapons as her mother wanted her to fully experience how ancient humans hunted, as Sergia’s mother believed using or giving weapons to Sergia would make too reliant on them when she got older. Sergia hunted a puma for two hundred and sixty three kilometers and finally took down the predator on day three of her first hunt. When they got back home Sergia’s mother taught Sergia how to smith her own blade. She crushed some of the bones of the puma and put it into the smelted iron to imbue the metal with the spirit of the first animal she’s hunted.

Loves: Hunting, not just a light deer hunt either. She personally will stalk man eaters and apex predators for days at a time using nothing but her knife and hands she’ll live like the target she’s hunting just to learn everything about them. To her this isn’t a game or hobby, she only finds fun in the idea of finally being killed. She doesn’t hold back, she’ll personally kill her own family if and when they try hunting her.

Hates: Personally to her the worst way to die is in a hospital or of old age. She has raised each of her sons and daughters to be strong and independent hunters and she expects one of them to kill her and make her proud. If they can’t do the job and she kills them then she will hunt for the strongest predators she can.

Backstory: Born to Russian aristocrats and raised in Volgograd and St. Petersburg, Sergia Kravinoff grows up with her half-brother and Sergia’s father’s illegitimate son, Dmitri Smerdyakov. Dmitri lives with the family as a servant with his mother, Sonya, unaware of his true parentage. Beaten by her alcoholic father, Sergia in turn torments Dmitri. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the Kravinoffs are forced to immigrate in disgrace to the United Kingdom and later the United States. While on a hunt her parents were both killed by a tiger in Africa that had stalked them in their sleep, her mother put up the hardest fight and fatally wounded the animal before succumbing to her wounds and dying on top of her husband who she tried to protect. Leaving Sergia and her brother orphaned at the ages of twelve and sixteen.

Orphaned, Sergia learns to survive by her wits and cunning. She starts to travel extensively, usually as a stowaway aboard cargo ships or trains, and lives one time or another in every major city in Europe and Asia by her late adolescence. In passage through equatorial Africa as a young man, Kravinoff (who anglicized her name to Kraven) discovers her natural talent for hunting. She soon departs the safari to live on her own in the African veldt.

By adulthood, her hunting skills are legendary, and she quickly becomes a wealthy big game hunter. She remains in Africa for 10 years, during which time in the Belgian Congo she steals a witch doctor’s herbal potion that enhances physical prowess. The potion’s rare, naturally occurring mutagenic chemicals heighten her speed, strength, and agility while greatly decelerating the aging process. Kraven uses her heightened abilities to hunt game more efficiently and enters a partnership with Smerdyakov to export the animal skins and ivory that she acquires.

Sergia got married to a man when she was twenty seven years old and gave birth to three children who she all taught to hunt and survive which caused the accidental death of her husband who wasn’t strong enough to survive an encounter with a hundred foot titanoboa from the Savage Lands. She mourned her husband and buried him deep in the jungles of the Savage Lands, and she marked the grave with the body of the deceased serpent.

When she got back home she exclusively sent her children to the Savage Lands to train and become stronger against large prehistoric game. Her youngest daughter 19 year old Ana has taken interest in hunting aquatic game, her middle son 20 year old Alyosha who hunts large mammals in Siberia, and her oldest son 21 year old Grim who changed his name when his father died and now hides out in the Amazon living completely off the jungle to survive.
