Aremdee Character Sheet Submission
-----------------------------------------------------------
Character Name: Azrael
Race: Banshee-Siren
Race Description: Banshee are faerie women who appear when one is about to die. Although known as faeries, they may be thought of as ghosts of a murdered woman or a woman who has died during childbirth. They are known in m ythology to appear in several forms, such as human and animal. Sirens are seen as women (takeing on a bird form) that use their voices to lure men to their doom. (OOC: For the sake of this RP, the Banshee race will be limited to a human form that sings when one is soon to die. The singing aspect will most likely not occur to an active character. Only with consent will it be used. The Siren half is to be used as a bloodline trait as a defensive measure.)
Alignment: Neutral-Good
Physical Abilities: She is skilled in the use of a javelin, though it is hardly necessary to her. She is not a fighter, and typically shys away from it. Her javelin is her only weapon and is primarily used for defense.
Magical Abilities: She is an adept in foresight, which is why she is able to foresee the deaths of other; why she sings when it approaches. She is unable, however, to foresee what the future has instore for her. Her singing may also lure men into a state of calm, if one her to have hostile intentions against her. This measure lasts as long as the male may will it as it is he that may choose not to listen. However, typically it may last for 3 turns, given the length between them.
Description: Azrael has long pale white hair reaching down past her waist with a slight tint of blue streaks. She usually wears long white or grey robes and a black cape with hood. She appears to be no older than 16 years. Her complexion is fair, almost as white as her hair. She is usually seen in the fields writting and playing music. Her songs (those not intended to signal the death of another, or to lure men away from unnecessary hostility) are performed to children that encounter her, and are performed similarly to sagas of ancient lore and legend. She carries with her a small harp and a bodhrán (small drum). She is always seen wearing her silver and aqua necklace, the stone of an aqua hue in the form of a creasant moon.
Inventory:
-Small sack with a few coins
-Harp and bodhrán
-Medicinal herbs
-Concave shell to use for eating and drinking
-Small bag to hold it all in
History: Azrael died as a Siren and lives now as a Banshee, though is able to recall her Siren past into effect. She is not sure why she lives the way she does, but does not question it. She lived in the outskirts of a small village, her family of Sirens being banished for their trait, where she was forced to lure young travelers into their midsts. She despised this way of living, and only wished to sing for the pleasure of it. When a rumor in the village spread that a nobleman has died traveling to a neighboring village, the Sirens were immediantly blamed. The villagers raided her home and murdered her.
She was killed and cold blood, but awoke from this dark slumber. She saw herself in the room of a young man that appeared quite ill on his bed. She wished to please him with a song, do she sang a quiet lullaby to him. He was at peace and thanked Azrael, but before she could accept, he had passed. Frightened by this, she ran out of his home, shocked at what had happened and how she was alive now. Even more frightened was how she felt that he was at his end. For many years she traveled around this village, a village foreign and alien to her, appearing outside the homes of those who are about to die, and she sings a soft and quiet song.
Her singing was discovered by the village elders, who thought it best to be used to teach the children the sagas of the village. She sang to the children and taught them of great heros and battles, her school in the fields of the village. She taught them also the ways of music and how to sing these sagas.
After a short time, she felt it best to leave. Her appearance of youth after a couple years rose suspicion of divinity, which although she felt far from, wished not to provoke hostilities. The village elders gave her some coins to use to purchase whatever necessities she may need, and told her that she is forever welcome in the village. She left the village and now wanders without any destination. She enters villages and appears outside the homes of those ready to pass and sings to them, the notes (and sometimes the wails) echo into the homes, causing some of the inhabitants to suspect a ghost.
