Appearance


Hair: Grace’s hair is a grayish white, a color fairly common amongst people of her tribes. She has a very odd way of styling her hair, from the nape of her neck trail two extremely long braids riddled with beads, string, and an occasional feather. The rest of her hair is cut quite sporadically and appears to be windblown into place and all but her bangs pulled back and held into place by a headband. Her bangs hang down freely, framing her face.

Eyes: Her eyes are a dark grayish blue, and are almost too far apart, but by having a very round face they do not throw off her exotic good looks too much.

Frame: Grace has a very nice body and is not afraid to show it off. Many people would consider her body and garb better suited for a whore-house, but it is rather normal among her people, and thus she continues with it. She is a very slim, yet curvaceous woman boasting very prominent womanly features.

Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: Grace is a walking piece of art, her entire body covered in tattoos of various design, applied to her when she was young in order for her and her parents to combat a powerful demon that plagued her village, eventually her parents were badly injured and thus, they transferred their power into Grace to give her a great boost to her already impressive powers. Most of the tattoos are drawn in a fairly light blue color or silver. Grace also has what some people would consider a beauty mark above the right side of her lips.

Alignment: True Neutral

Deity: Baccob

Personality: Grace is a very sporadic person, she seems random but she works in a very set range of attitudes. She spends a lot of time as a very energetic and talkative person, though when pressed with anything half-serious she will turn into the most single-minded and dedicated person anyone could ever meet, very similar to a moving brick wall.

Grace is very kind and giving, though she does have a very mild temper that takes a lot to ignite, she can be quite fierce when given reason.

History: Grace was born into a small, yet prestigious family in the small and distant lands of Kosridi. Kosridi is a very tropical region with many rivers and swamps as well as rain forests. Many of the people that come from Kosridi are extremely good at survival and are some of the best swimmers.

Grace was raised as a normal child, yet watched constantly by her parents who knew that she would most likely inherit their abilities as Shamans. Grace did show promise, but her magical abilities were minimal, so minimal that the young girl had not even noticed them herself.

When Grace was seven, her powers began to mature further; she became worried because she was different than most of her friends who had not received such power, or had not developed it yet. This had been a life changing event for her, and had put her into a depression for nearly six months while she attempted to will her powers to leave her.

Her parents were deeply worried about their daughter, so they moved from that village to a nearby settlement that had just sprung up and settled down there for a while allowing their daughter to acquire new friends. What they did not know is that the people of this travelling village were plagued by a demon.

Over time in that village Grace again regained her youthful exuberance, but when she was twelve, the demon apparently found the people once more and was extremely angry. He had ravaged the village killing several people, including Grace’s best friend, one who had powers just beginning to appear. It was the first real friend she had since she had gained her abilities.

With the death of her friend, Grace went into a fit of rage, releasing her power and drawing the demon back. When it returned it found her sitting in the middle of the ruined village holding the body of her deceased friend, crying. Grace’s parents were there, they knew that the demon would return, and that was where they began to combat the demon.

It was immensely powerful, and Grace’s parents sustained many wounds, and in the end, the Demon was going to win, but barely. Her parents did the only thing they could; they sacrificed themselves, giving their power over to their daughter in the form of the many tattoos that decorate her body allowing her to unleash every last strand of power that any of them had and destroy the demon.

With the death of her family, Grace left Kosridi and eventually caught wind of Nezzeru, where she travelled and began studying magic to learn to control what she had. She proved to be a very good student, learning extremely quickly and showing great promise.

Over many years she trained and it had confused many of the other denizens of Nezzeru as to how she did not age at the normal rate, she actually aged at about one year for every seven she lived.

Later on, when she was about forty, she was began to pull together people and eventually formed the Scarlet Syndicate, designated to destroy evil, but over time that purpose changed to just keeping order and safety among the society in which they lived.

When she was older, it was realized that Nezzeru would not be getting rid of her anytime soon. She did not seem to plan on leaving, or dying for that matter, so when the previous Head Sorceress passed away, she rose into the position, bringing along many extremely good talents and many ideas that would benefit Nezzeru.

When she had been appointed to that position, she took upon an apprentice, a young girl by the name of Emmalynn, who showed great promise. In the present day, Grace runs the Scarlet Syndicate and manages many affairs of Nezzeru, as well as teaches her young apprentice.

Family: Huk\'pole her father and Eyuaie her mother both gave up their lives to help their people and their daughter defeat a powerful demon that had been plaguing them for many years.

Likes: Grace likes to be in the presence of others, and often will have an aide follow her around just so she has someone to talk to; her current aide is Emmalynn, a young apprentice that she chose. She is widely known for taking an almost instant liking to anyone who shares the interest of giving to the society and will often attempt to recruit them into the Scarlet Syndicate.

Dislikes: Grace despises anything that uses magic for personal gain. She feels strongly that it is a tool to use for good, not for evil and will stand strong against anyone or anything that does this even if it means her own death. She is not very tolerant of greedy people either, or anyone who seeks benefits for themselves as opposed to the whole. Anything spicy foods she will not eat, they do not seem to work very well with her body, often leaving her sick. Same with most forms of alcohol.

Character Strength: Grace is an extremely proficient spell caster, capable of great feats of magic. Her magic is draw upon from herself, as well as the powers given to her by her parents upon their deaths, so essentially she has the abilities of three powerful spell casters. Grace is very intelligent, able to outsmart many people. Grace has mastered the abilities to silently cast spells, not needing to voice the words of power, but can think them instead; she also can chain spells extremely well, making her very deadly over short periods of time.

Grace believes strongly in bringing safety and peace to the people, and some could say that her determination and dedication is a very good thing, and she is known to sacrifice a great deal for her goals. It would not be out of her character to sacrifice the safety and peace of several individuals for the betterment of the whole, if that is good or bad is obviously up to everyone else.

Character Weakness/Flaw: Grace is extremely headstrong, often rushing into situations where she can get caught up in quite badly, though once she finds herself in a very desperate situation, she faces it with calm and resolve. Despite her great intelligence, she doesn’t always know when to use it, and she does not have a great way with words and often ends up accidently insulting someone.

Grace is blind in her path to bring peace and safety to the people, and she can easily get carried away and cause trouble, though she tends to regret doing so later, even though she understands that what she had done was for the greater good of the society.

Interesting Facts / Quirks: Once Grace has used up her own magical energies and starts to draw upon those of her deceased parents, her tattoos begin to glow, lighting her up like a Christmas tree.

Grace is the leader of the Scarlet Syndicate, basically a special force made up of powerful mages and sorceresses to hunt down rogue spell-casters or criminals that use magic, also they work to preserve the peace and safety of the society. These Elite spell casters are easily identified by the red outfits they wear. Many of the members of the Scarlet Syndicate are followers of Heironeous, such as Paladin or other Sorceress or Sorcerers, maybe an occasional assassin with high moral standards and similar beliefs.

Many of Grace’s outfits could be said to be somewhat – Exotic. They are often very revealing and leave little to the imagination. Most people do not understand her reason for dressing how she does, but it is extremely common to wear similar garb, and in some cases, even less than she does.

She always wears red, being a member of the Scarlet Syndicate it is almost expected of her.

Favourite Food: Her favorite food is an assortment of fruits, especially oranges.

Favourite Colour: Red

Hobby/Hobbies: Grace enjoys swimming and dancing above most things. She does not have a great many hobbies since she spends most of her time working on business for the Scarlet Syndicate or the Tower of Nezzeru.

Sexuality: Bisexual

Relationship Status: Single; rumored to be looking for a partner

Current Financial Status: A rumor circles around most of the cities that Grace has never once spent a single coin in her entire life, that she is extremely poor due to her great contributions to charity. This rumor is fairly accurate, she does not spend a great deal of money and she does give a great deal of what she has to charities; Grace is still very wealthy despite this, it is unknown to where she exactly gets the money from, some believe that she uses magic to create it. Most of the funds truly come in through the Scarlet Syndicate.

Carried Weapons: Grace carries a variety of weapons, first and foremost which is a dagger of rather bland properties; she also carries a short and thin sword with her that she is fairly good with, though if pressed too much in any sort of combat she could be quite easily defeated. Lastly, Grace has a staff that belonged to her father, a very powerful mage of her people. The staff is about three feet in length and has a hooked head wrapped in string and holding onto a small gem, though not especially elegant or fancy, the staff makes up for it in the ability to allow Grace to channel extra energy from it, giving her a slight boost to her magical abilities.

Known Magick: Grace has the inherit magic of her people, a very ritualistic magic that allows her to summon and control spirits. This could be considered a cross between Necromancy and Holy magic, allowing her to control dead and banish summoned creatures as well as heal herself and others.

When Grace attended her schooling for magic, she went into the field of Evocation and somewhat in Abjuration, giving her a wide variety of powerful offensive spells and a somewhat varied choice of protective spells that make her a very dangerous magical opponent.
