Asmodean Cult escapee. At war with herself. Desperate and determined to escape her enemies by pleasing her allies. Prophecy bound. Arc.. To get to a place where she feels safe enough to relax. "I'll never go back. I'd rather die."

Life is sometimes stranger than fiction. What do I mean by that? I mean that I race to oppose the demons in order to escape my church... the demons are better company, even if they do want to kill me, and I have to kill them. This is made even stranger given that I have to undo the mental and emotional indoctrination I was subject to over the years. I love Asmodeus. I hate Asmodeus. I yearn for freedom. I long to be brought back into the fold.

The Priests of Asmodeus know how to isolate the weak and defenceless, reduce their ego to nothing and make them emotionally dependent. Demons mean to kill me, the Asmodeans would reduce me to nothing and send me to hell, where my life would continue as normal.

Orphaned as a child and left to the tender mercies of the Church of Asmodeus elicits no tears, so common a tale it is. You would think the Iomedans would not stand for this brand of mercy. However, the Iomedeans will look the other way to procure the swords of the Asmodean Hellknights. I do not look to right, or a higher power for my salvation, but only to my own machinations.

On the cusp of adulthood, I am to be confirmed into the faith, and so am watched. Now the spark of rebellion lights thoughts of escape in my mind, even as my traitorous heart's blood seeks to reel me in. Alone I won't last a week. Asmodeans mean to have me, no-one will risk their ire on my behalf. This fuels desperation in my heart to find a faction, a company, that will protect me.

I met with the Elf called Astibar the Oracle today, or rather she fatefully met by chance. I saw someone in the street I did not wish to meet and ducked into an alley, where she stood waiting for me, calling me by name, though we've never met and I am of no import. It is said the Priestesses of Magdh weave the strands of fate to ends even they themselves do not know.

"Tanith, sweet child, dark has been your weave, but golden it may yet become. Let fate light your steps to the building yonder on the morrow if you would take the fateful leap to that hopeful strand."

Having pointed at the Honeyed Blackmoor Cafe, she essayed a smile. Then, anticipating my question of 'for what?', she continued with "Oh, you'll know, you'll know."

I would have asked her what the price was for her sight, but just then my 'minder' caught up with me, paused to glance sharply at the mad priestess, before hustling me out of the alley, adding a cuff to the back of my head for good measure... "Don't do that again."

Now I sit across from

Appearance

Passingly attractive, Tanith is unfailingly courteous and polite, with a tendency to speak with eyes lowered. She is well spoken, even erudite, in her speech, the consequence of hours of beatings and elocution lessons to eradicate a stutter. She has the look of someone who stands behind the big guy with a sword, doing the big guy's math. Her attire is not showy, understandably puritan in the 'buttons are sign of pride' manner.

She is accompanied by a thrush... 'Imp'. In her case it's difficult to determine whether it's a comfort animal or a familiar. The current betting is on it being both.

Her spellcasting is recognizably Asmodean as is the cadence of her Taldane. That Asmodeans are known to be the great decievers does her no favors.

Personality

Tanith is a survivor, possessed of an ironclad determination. She is, for the moment, something of a closed book emotionally speaking; 'opening up' in an Asmodean school for orphans is tantamount to suicide, thus she comes across as strictly professional, pragmatic and logical to a fault. She 'appears' to have little time for anything she does not deem to be advancing her cause, securing her position. She seeks to hide her motivation for this.. pure fear, at any cost. This is her drive both individually and on behalf of the company.

She is purpose stripped down to grim need. Thankfully, that grim need incorporates into itself a tendency towards black, even fatalistic, humor.. dispensed in order to curry favor. Tanith has, as yet, little experience or understanding of frivolity, though understandably she possesses a fine grasp of the absurd. She keeps her guard up, while trying not to look like she's keeping her guard up.

Whether she is actually like this, or her true personality or whether her true personality is repressed beneath scar tissue is anyone's guess.

Role

Tanith is all support, advance payment for a rainy day. She assists the fighters in the a fight, her spells being of the sort that tips the balance for them as opposed to killing things herself. She takes the view that her magic should first and foremost address those problems which only magic can solve.

She assists the fighters prior to combat as well. 'Imp', her spylike thrush familiar helping to ensure the company sees them before they see the company. However, her outstanding ability is her encyclopaedic knowledge on a great many subjects. This is just as well given that her magic has all the stamina of a consumption victim.

  • Not sure what is causing your sheet to show CMD as Not a Number. Please check to see relevant fields are properly filled in
  • Trait selections on this thread do not match character sheet

Other than that, mechanics look good.
