Long ago, in ancient times, the demon called Asa was forced to swear the Hippocratic Oath, thus binding her to an eternity of healing. Through the ages she has roamed the world, being where she is needed the most, healing people and other beings from both mundane and magical illnesses, injuries and other maladies. Most recently she has possessed the dying Alice Winter as her host, saving her from a life threatening disease, and has set up residence in New York City.

Personality

Caring:
She likes to pretend she doesn't really care about much of anybody or anything, but you can't spend millennia helping people and healing them without a bit of compassion rubbing off on you. When push comes to shove, she's allright.

Hedonist:
Asa enjoys the pleasure of the flesh. Very much. She's very vocal about her vices and tries to entice people to join her.

Tease:
Asa is a tease in every sense of the word. She especially enjoys playing the seductress, and can't turn up the opportunity to give people a little light ribbing.

Character Sheet

Powers

Click to expand.

Healing Magic:
Asa is a very powerful mage, specializing in the healing arts. She can cure nearly every manor of mundane and magical sickness, disease, or injury. She can also create protective barriers and other defensive magic as well as soul magic as long as it's beneficial to her patient. While her focus is on healing and protection she /does/ have access to more aggressive magics, but is limited in it's application, using it to protect and keep her patients from harm. She's also able to use her magic to allow her to fly.

Magical Bandages:
The bandages that are wrapped around her arms are for more than show. She's able to use them telekinetically to restrain people.

Possession:
Asa is able to possess people, granting them extended longevity and immunity to all forms of disease and poisons. If the target is strong willed enough they will be able to exorcise her from the body.

Tool Summoning:
Asa is able to magically create the tools and instruments one needs to treat people, being able to summon up scalpels, forceps, etc. She's also able to use them telekinetically and can also use them as weapons if need be.

Skills

Hospitality:
While her bedside manor is typically tactless, that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to treat her patients with kindness and sympathy, if it would benefit them.

Mage:
Asa has a deep understanding of magic. She knows the majority of rituals, spells and curses in order to understand what it takes to undo them or to protect her patients from them.

Medicine:
Even without her powers, Asa is a skilled medic, able to perform mundane surgeries and treatments like any other medical specialist would.

Resources

Rod of Asclepius:
This is /the/ titular Rod of Asclepius. Sometime during the turn of the millennium it was entrusted to her. The rod acts as both a magical battery, and as a focus for her magic, allowing her to cure curses and illnesses that, by herself, she wouldn't have the power to overcome. She's able to summon the rod at will from a small pocket dimension where it usually resides.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Demon:
At the end of the day, Asa is still a demon. This means that she can be summoned, banished and exorcised against her will. Her demonic form is unmistakably non-human, which is why she chooses to possess humans.

Hippocratic Oath:
Asa has sworn the Hippocratic Oath to the gods Apollo and Panacea. Unlike when a human swears the Oath where it's more of a suggestion or anything, Asa is literally bound by it, unable to break its tenants even if she tried. Note that 'First do no harm' is a later addition to the Oath and is not bound by it. That doesn't mean she can go out and do harm willy nilly, though. It does mean that she can use force to protect herself, her patients, and her friends and colleagues.
