Lacrimae Heliandum, the Sun's Tear~Known as: Lacrimae Heliandum (assumed name)
~Gender: Female
~Age: Uncertain, but guesses and appears to be around mid twenties, when compared to human age
~Race: Elf
~Nickname: Close people call her Mae. Has multiple titles among which are: The High Priestess of Sun, Eternal Sun, Bringer of Light, The Great Protector Mother, Sun ray that Cries
~Mental State: Stable
~Relationship status: Single
~Powers: All her non-racial powers stem from her extremely strong affinity with Sun element. She is able to heal (to certain extent), create various levels of heat and burn with it (without creating flame, although focusing the heat on flammable materials can start a fire), able to summon light and give it certain 'will' that lets it search for something or guide the way, accompany someone. At times, has been able to see visions of things and places where Sun is shining. Rumors say that at high cost, she would be able to bring back someone from the dead. She's also able to endure higher temperatures than most.
Fire element strengthens her and normally, she easily overcomes Shadow elements.
As an elf, she has keener senses and sees better in dim surroundings. Also has better reflexes.
~Drawbacks: Shadow element can overpower her easily if she is tired, injured. Will feel uncomfortable and eventually weakened if cannot be in sunlight for long time or just be under open sky. Over-use of her powers drains her own life force drastically, especially if she's been healing. She can literally be burned up by her own powers, too.
~Skills: Able to wield bow and daggers in battle and is actually skilled. Has average and up knowledge of healing herbs. Good knowledge of geography and various cultures and their traditions that may save her from some tight spots. Horseback riding
Appearance: Closeup, 1st dress, 2nd dress, regular outfit, armor and bow 1, armor and bow 2 ~[Hair: Either sun or perhaps magical means have diluted her naturally darker blonde hair tone to pale golden one. Her hair is soft and naturally slightly wavy, so ends in large curls at her waist and shorter bangs around her face are also lightly curled
~[Eyes: Striking sky blue tone
~[Complexion: Lighter end of golden-tanned
~[Height: ~5'9", nearly 5'10"
~[Weight: ~130 pounds
~[Posture: Good, regal even
~[Scars: Some partially faded scars on her back and stomach, but they are hidden under clothes
~[Jewelry: Usually wears jewelry only during ceremonies and prefers flower crown that stay fresh unnaturally long time
XMae is... attractive, if not beautiful to most onlookers. Perhaps she does not have the see-through frailness that some other elves possess, but she still is more graceful and both her features and body seems to be carefully shaped by a gifted artist. She herself does not pay any extra attention to the fact, though, other than dressing the way it accents her looks and fits her status as High Priestess. Most of the time, she wears beautiful dresses, but has simpler outfits for rides and even battlefields. As lavish as the outfits look, she actually spends more on her clothing than many other priestesses of her status.
Although her hair hides pointed ears most of the time, there is little to no chance she'd be mistaken for a human, especially one without magical gifts. Her eyes stand out with their unusual color, too. They have a warm, soft expression in them usually, but at times, they will harden and mouth settle in a smirk or perhaps form thin line as she holds back a commentary she finds needlessly mean (for now).
Personality ~[Positive traits: Usually tolerant, thoughtful and caring. Nurturing, warm in most cases. Certainly patient and calm - hard to anger. Unbiased towards races, powers. Has healthy confidence and gladly supports others. Charismatic. Is not cruel, will regret hurting someone. Smart and creative. Loyal and protective of her people, friends, even strangers if they stand on her side of the battle. Usually, good judge of character. Determined, hard working and not afraid to get her hands dirty. Actually enjoys some adventure
More factsX
~[Likes: Freedom, sunlight, being out in nature, animals, magic, doing what she likes, respect, her own private space and time, being able to help and also getting her way
~[Hobbies: Painting, reading, tinkering with magical items, singing and dancing, riding, exploring, learning
~[Negative traits: Can be very goal-oriented and over-protecting at times - this often leads to demanding, controlling attitude. Sometimes, displays arrogance. Generally closed up about things directly connected to herself, her emotions. At times, too distrustful. Has hard time forgiving any heavy ill-doings. When angered, explosive and unpredictable, dangerous. Cannot really sit back in background role of any sorts. Clearly has any kind of relation commitment issues
More factsX
~[Mannerism: Her movement and even speech has refined, regal feel to it. The elegance and grace that most elves possess has been passed down to her as well, but the rest has been taught. Usually, tries her best to keep composure and hide any signs of nervousness or fear, but one can notice that she rubs her thumb and index finger together a lot at times like this until catches her self. When has slipped into routine, can be apathetic, but eventually, might rebel, if she feels like restrained
~[Dislikes: Anything that takes away her freedom, physically or otherwise. Cruelty. People bothering her needlessly, spineless personalities, disregard for her as a person or her private space. Deceit
~[Quirks: She's unusually good at mimicking sounds she hears, be it birds, animals or even mechanical noises of door creaking or voices. There's little to no practical use for this
More factsX
~[Talents: Being the graceful as she is, Lacrimae is good dancer and has a beautiful voice to top it off. Can play some music instruments and picks up any new knowledge or skill very quickly in general
~[Philosophy: Sun graces everyone with Her gifts and as such, I shall treat everyone equally kindly
XMuch like Sun, Lacrimae can be the warm presence that makes nurtures one back to health, makes strength grow and feel catered for or the intolerable heat that tires, weakens and scares one with its incredible power. One thing for sure, it's hard if not impossible to ignore her. Even when quiet, she somehow draws attention and most want to talk with her, spend time near her.
She enjoys the attention most of the time (and perhaps, has started to take it as granted), but also greatly values being able to get away from crowds and people in general, to have time fully for herself. It doesn't matter that she might end up doing something that would end up benefiting someone else, then it's her choice. But Mae knows how to take a break and relax, when given the chance.
Certainly charismatic and diplomatic, she opts for kinder ways to resolve any issues and they usually work. Mae is not afraid to remind anyone of her position, too, if needed or if she feels that someone is not treating her how they should.
Her past has left her mentally scarred in some aspects and she often reacts too sharply to anything that violates her freedom - or she thinks it does. However, as the other side of the coin is the way she pulls in and clings to people and things dear to her, to the point she might 'suffocate' them with her protection, worry and control. Lacrimae has yet to realize this, especially since there have not been a reason for this trait to surface much. She has particularly hard time to let anyone emotionally close to her - she will generally care for most, but true, devoted love is very hard to earn, as she's afraid of being betrayed, having her freedom robbed.
By nature, she's a rather calm person and it's only been deepened by her training, but when you make her angry... She becomes a wild force of nature, both power and temper wise. Sometimes, being scared causes the same effect, triggering a chain that leads to anger. All in all, she's simple and yet somehow complex person with her share of problems, bad and good sides.
History XLacrimae does not remember much from her early childhood. In fact, most of things about her are made up, starting from her birthday (Winter Solstice, when Sun wins over darkness and the day begins to grow longer) to her name.
But what she does remember still strikes a fear in her. Dark dungeons, cruel hands and voices, things that make her bleed and hurt, mockery... Later, she'd realize she was captured by humans far from the protective Veil that hides her kind and other non-humans. As she grew, so did her powers and her desperation and she prayed, begged to something she didn't even know for help. And her wish was hard as she felt immense power build up in her and finally break a path open for her.
From there on, she wandered and eventually was found by some non-human sympathizers that helped her reach the Island and left her with Sun Temple's priestesses. One of them took particular interest in Mae, realizing the potential and began grooming the child as their next High Priestess. The girl did not wish for this, still scared and unsure, everything so foreign to her. She hoped to live with one of the kind families that would come and pray at the temple... And then, the priestess lied that she was her aunt and her mother would've wanted this. Lacrimae caved in, wanting to belong somewhere and it wouldn't be until much later that the truth came out and her belief shattered.
But as she had taken her vows and found some contentment in her new life, she did not run away - really, that would be such a childish thing to do. The bitterness remains, however.
Other XAs High Priestess of Sun, she is one of the highest respected people on the whole Island. Her role is to lead most important ceremonies, listen to requests twice a week, await sunrises, pray and so on.
One of her titles is the Great Protector Mother of weak and innocent. Therefor, Mae's one of the priestesses who is purposely taught how to fight and use her powers both in offensive and defensive manner. And as the Protector, she's also tasked to guard various powerful magical items, among which is the Great Orb of Sun, sometimes called Sun's Tear, possessing mysterious magic that has not been awakened for millennium.
Has not had any proper relationships. Usually lacked the interest and there are certainly laws for priestesses in this aspect.
Marwolaeth Rubellite, the Blood Gem~Name: Marwolaeth Rubellite
~Gender: Female
~Age: Unclear, perhaps in early 20's?
~Race: Questionably human mixed with traces of unknown race
~Nickname: Laeth, Marwo, Ruby, That Crazy B**ch and various aliases she takes up as needed
~Mental State: ... Stable?
~Relationship status: Single
~Powers: If something alike blood flows in your body, you can be affected by her. Marwolaeth has the ability to change blood's flow or stop it (therefor, she indirectly seems to hold power over heart), density and chemical composition (making it poisonous or acidic). When blood is spilled, she can still make it change form and move at her command, even forming weapons of sort.
Her own blood is poisonous to other beings in larger amounts, but possesses amazing healing properties - Laeth recovers from wounds easily, although for maximum effect must consume blood which she can simply absorb through her skin. This can lead to impression she is a vampire. This, however, will not regrow a lost limb under normal circumstances.
The healing ability can be partially transferred to another person if she gives small dose of her blood to him/her.
Because of her mixed blood, she is stronger than other females, has faster reflexes
~Drawbacks: Has no power over any object, even if it is animated, like a golem. Requires to see the target, unless she has some of the target's blood in possession. Although she regenerates blood abnormally quickly and can stop it from leaving her body, if she would lose large amount quickly, for a period of time, Laeth would be extremely vulnerable.
Although she definitely bests regular humans in some aspects, she still is not as physically powerful as a strong male nor fast enough to dodge a bullet, if she somehow came into situation where guns were present. Same goes for arrows. And her powers don't make her more sneaky, quiet or otherwise less noticeable - so in many aspects she has to rely on magical trinkets.
Earth and Energy elements can trap and weaken her powers partially, she is not immune to any other magic either.
She can't really become unnoticeable and people that have seen or met her, recognize her easily usually
~Skills: She knows hand-to-hand combat, fights well with daggers and can wield a sword, but generally finds it too clumsy a weapon. She has some knowledge of herbs, but nothing spectacular. Can hunt decently. Is good at tracking and hiding her own tracks. Knowledgeable about all kinds of magical items, their history
Appearance: Amazing art done by Neiths <3 Possible outfit 1, possible outfit 2, possible outfit 3, possible outfit 4, one of 'work' outfits, only then she wears shoes with no heel or thick soles As drawn by Saith ~[Hair: From dark red, nearly black, it lightens to blood red tone, perhaps dyed or naturally (most likely the latter) and reaches her waist. Sometimes styled, but usually left open or braided
~[Eyes: Sparkly green
~[Complexion: Light and clear on most of her body, beside small beauty mark on left side of her face near mouth, but the skin grows darker on her legs, gray and brown mixing in strange patterns there. Similar color streak goes over her backbone
~[Height: 5'7"
~[Weight: ~125 pounds
~[Posture: Good
~[Scars: In a sense, nearly half of her head is one big scar. The lace that starts from her hairline, goes over her right eye and cheekbone, covering ear and disappearing into hair again has been melted in Laeth's flesh. The skin it self is not marred, due to her healing abilities, nor her eye is burdened as the lace 'mask' is carefully adjusted for her face and eye, but the material cannot be extracted nor skin will ever cover it. She has no other scars as her powers prevent them from forming
~[Jewelry: Whatever she wants and what she finds to fit her outfit
XLaeth can't 'fit in' and merge with smaller crowd. Even if she dressed normally, which she doesn't, the lacy mask on her face makes this woman stand out. Her best remedy for this is her dark cloak with deep hood, but normally, she doesn't even want to hide her identity, although it brings her a lot of problems.
She's strange looking, but somehow beautiful, especially since at first people don't understand mask is actually part of her face (when they realize, it tends to creep people out). Not too tall, compared to all the tall human males, elves and other races that inhabit the Isle, she likes to wear shoes with crazy heels and soles, fashion taken from Mainland. In fact, most of her clothes are from there.
She uses some makeup, such as blood-red lipstick, matching her hair tone. And although her eye color is rather common among people on Isle, hers still seems somehow brighter, as if there's glitter added to the tone.
Personality ~[Positive traits: Smart, quick thinker, witty, cunning. Good judge of character. Determined and can be hard working when needed, won't let anything stop her in the long run. Decisive. Creative. Passionate about things she likes and generally, one who enjoys life, finds pleasure in small things (in the right mood). Adventurous. Charismatic and alluring when she wants
More factsX
~[Likes: Freedom, beautiful and shiny things, getting her way, spunky people (as long as they don't try to be more spunky than her or somehow endanger her or her role in current company), magic, having control over the situations and others
~[Hobbies: Obtaining magical items by various means and climbing up the ladder of power, enjoying life, travelling and occasionally wreaking havoc and/or chaos
~[Negative traits: Whatever good traits she has, she uses them for bad things. Deceitful and secretive. Careless for the thoughts and feelings of others, to the point it borders cruelty and often steps over this line. Arrogant, self-centered, disrespectful and demanding. Unforgiving and vengeful, but can be traitorous herself. Moody and passionate, but won't always show the wide range of emotion she has, usually choosing more concealed attitude
More factsX
~[Mannerism: Depends on what is needed, but usually confident. Tends to rub her right temple or trace fingers over lace patterns on her face when deep in thoughts, angered or melancholic. Has had fits where she has tried to tear them out
~[Dislikes: Having her freedom threatened in any sense, people who are unreasonably arrogant and try to boss her around. Anyone who threatens her either directly or by how their actions might affect her. Not getting her way and losing control
~[Quirks: Has a habit of tying all curses or exclamations to blood. For example, one of worst things she can say to someone that has angered is "curse your blood!" Most likely that's what she will do
More factsX
~[Talents:
~[Philosophy: World's not going to become nicer just because I am nice, so why waste the time? Why shouldn't I do or get something, if I can? And if I can't get it... Then I just have to try a little harder.
XShe's whatever you want her to be. Slipping from one role into another easily, she lies, deceives, betrays and tricks people wherever she goes. But, if no role is necessary, such as the meeting is short, you will get to see her directly disregarding nature. Marwolaeth usually does not harm or kill anyone just because she finds it fun or gains some pleasure from it, however is not opposed to taking life if the person gets in her way or endangers her.
If we would bring in alignments, normally one would put her in the shelf with Chaotic Evil, but it does not quite fit her. Although she is driven by her own desires and wishes and usually disregards any will weaker than hers, Laeth can and will give certain, backward respect to those who match her fierceness and determination. She does not ignore laws because only weak hide behind them - she simply sees laws as corrupt and hypocritical, realistically valuing them as generally disregarded by most, so there is simply no need to let rules limit her, if no one else does that, in this aspect following Neutral Evil alignment outlines. And she's not out there to do evil, either, the idea of good and evil actually seeming laughable as her as she does not believe there is anything purely one sided. If you're goody two shoes, that's absolutely fine with her, do whatever suits you, as long it doesn't mean you're going to try and stop her. In fact, she's probably more inclined to stop someone truly corrupt and cruel, if persuaded or they put her plans in danger, than fight someone 'good', perhaps in this way balancing out some of the evilness and partially leaning towards more True Neutral alignment.
Now, of course malice isn't all that there is to this girl. But battered and broken, torn apart to pieces mentally and even physically, this is the disfigured person she has now become. Perhaps there are hints of something else underneath, like loyalty for family, if she would ever have one, but there has been no need for any of this to take root and blossom, so Laeth remains the egoistical, cruel person she is - perfect example why people have always feared those with Blood element gift. In some sense, her past and her own powers have drove her to the edge of sanity and as such, she can be unpredictable and dangerous, like many great villains, although her status as one is questionable in the long run.
Despite all the the seemingly chaotic and overly emotional traits, she is actually rather stand-offish in her attitude, keeping a certain distance from events with a smirk, even if they have been caused by herself. The emotional involvement remains hidden and all in all, she draws people in with her mysterious appearance and attitude.
History XShe does not discuss her past in any manner, ever. It is a touchy subject. At most, she can drop hints that all the wounds, physical or mental, have been inflicted by someone she trusted and thought to be caring for her. It seems to have broken all of her trust in mankind and freed from all the restrictions and respect that people normally have.
Other XHas plenty of criminal connections. And some magic-user ones, too.
Whatever abilities or skills she lacks naturally, she makes up with her magic gadgets. Laeth has many of those at her disposal, although she only carries some with her on daily base, such as her Shadow-magic infused cloak hiding her in most situations.
She has a 'lair' somewhere off coast, or so she says. No one has really seen it.
Despite being flirty and seductive, she actually does not pursue any kind of relationships with her victims (or anyone else), since 'what you can't get is what you try hardest for' and she knows that half of her power might as well be gone when she gives the men what they want.
