Astrid's powers come mostly from her two fathers. She has the ability to drain blood, as per Armata, and SE and DE, as per Victivius. She can't manipulate it as Armata can, but she can take it from a living being. She also hets her incredible speed from him. The aspect she gets from her mother involves her own "primal" form, namely, shadows and shadow manipulation. From Victivius, she gets the ability to manipulate time to a limited degree, as well as having been taught to form her will into a scythe. She can use that to sever anything she has control of; the flow of SE or DE in a person (i.e. if they can use DE to form their own DE manifestations, such as Cyndwella and her cage) an object, or even an aspect of time, like cutting a person loose from the time they have remaining. From Deidre, she gets her looks and her sense of self. She looks like a taller, younger version of Deidre, and carries her confidence. She also carries Deidre's sense of fair play, which lends itself to her neutral attitude.

As for RPs, you're right to start small, in an established setting of your own creation. It's easier to ease in that way, and build rapport between OCs. In that respect you'll do fine, and I really look forward to your hosting one. As far as Doc, Arden, and big V go, Doc isn't a fighter (as in, he is powerful, but refuses to harm another living being) so his involvement would probably be peripheral. And Victivius wouldn't get directly involved unless the balance of fate was threatened, and even then, he's too much of a Gary Stu. He's simply too powerful to be used as anything but a plot pivot. More accurately, he would send Astrid, or, gods forbid, Aidlis, but Aidlis showing up is almost as bad. The best bet might be to see how your first RPs play iut, then we can see from there.
