Sela

Image
Name: Sela, formerly known as Tallend Obyre
Gender: Changing; currently female
Race: Nuit
Age: Unknown; somewhere around 550 years old
Language: Common [Fluent], Nader-canoch [Basic]

Physical Description: In her current incarnation, Sela stands about 5'4'', not exacty the tallest person around. Her skin is nicely tanned as is befitting a former inhabitant of Taldera. Tresses, curly and flowing, fall to the middle of her back. They are the color of dark chocolate, with several shades of lighter milk chocolate finding their ways onto the edges.

Even though the body was studiously well-kept, Sela's Nuit nature can be discerned. She is always cold to the touch, no matter what the weather is. Dark bags have long since formed under her shapely dark brown eyes, though Sela tries to pass that of as nothing more than insomnia. The most evident clue is her black tongue - though Sela makes a habit to not stick it out as much as she can.

Character Concept: Sardonic, cynical, and seemingly wearied beyond belief, Sela carries with her the soul of a much older person. This has been said to her several times, and it never fails to amuse her, because that sentence is more closer to her true nature than the speaker would ever know. She has seen the span and breadth of the world and didn't like it. While she could hardly be considered wise, she is worldly, and possesses with her the nature of a aspiring dreamer who left to change the world only to get her dreams crushed.

Thoroughly mistrusting, Sela doesn't allow anyone to get close to her in the emotional sense. She knows all about the art of the honeyed word, but she doesn't ever actually open up to someone. She holds her secrets close to her chest with a fierce protectiveness, never allowing even the smallest to be seen or touched. Other people, as far she's concerned, can mind their own business.

History: Back in the days of the warring states of Alahea and Suva, there lived a man named Tallend Obyre. A soldier from the Suvan outpost of Denval, he was drafted as a spy for a secret mission into Alahea. The mission, to say the least, was a complete disaster; most of the men selected were killed, and those that were not were taken to Alahean mages to be experimented on. Tallend was in the latter group. Blood was split, magic was cast, minds were irrevocably lost. In the end, Tallend was forced into a daek-nuit ritual; killed and then brought back as an undead Nuit.

What would have happened to Tallend then is unknown, as he did not wait to find out. In his new body, he managed to escape the laboratory in which he was being held and fled deep into the wilds of Mizahar, away from the vile place and away from vile Alahea.

Somehow, Tallend found his way back into Suva. Twitchy, damaged, he fled to the one place he might have found solace - Denval. But he found nothing but hate and fear there. The outpost came with naked swords at the sight of his undead form, words like "wretched spawn" and "Uldr's bitch" on their lips. They chased him far from the city limits, each step an dagger in Tallend's stomach. They thought they had gotten rid of the foul unliving creature then; but Tallend did not truly leave. He lingered around the edges of Denval for years, watching and waiting for retribution to come to the hometown that had rejected him.

It was this anger and loathing that prompted him not to act as Orionis took upon his important mission, knowing as Moira did that the mission was doomed to fail. And perhaps it was also the unrequited love nursed deep within his heart for Moira Sulduvan that stayed his hand from stopping one of his childhood friends from departing for vile Alahea. Then, Tallend was content to watch from the sidelines as a man he had known from the earliest age perished, as a priceless artifact lost.

But not content for long. After the crisis had settled down and the worldwide Valterrian was in full swing, guilt replaced those feelings. As he huddled deep inside a cave, fearing for his life, he begun to realize what he had sacrificed in the name of petty revenge. After the world-shattering cataclysm, Tallend stayed just long enough around Denval to see the explosion happen. It claimed the lives of a dozen of the Denvali - his - people, all because of a artifact he let get stolen. Driven by such anguish, Tallend finally departed from the outskirts of Denval for parts unknown.

Years have slipped by, centuries have past as Tallend has played his part of miserly wanderer. The bodies change, the faces shift, but the soul remains the same, and it is the soul of a wearied, grieving, bitter old man. Of course, to touch he did not seem as so. The shape of the Nuit is as fluid as the ichor in their names, picking and choosing at will. When the call came, Tallend had taken the body of a young woman who had lived in those parts and died from disease. When she took her new feminine form, she took a new name as well - Sela.

She was ensconced in a tent deep within the Northern Wastes when the call came. It spoke not just to Ethaefal but to her as well. It spoke of things buried deep inside Sela's mind, troubled fragments that spoke of a town she once knew - Denval. She'd heard of it over the ages, each word that was spoken in passing carrying a soft but growing hope. But now, Denval was in danger again. Denval needed to be defended.

And Sela would not stand by idly this time. Immediately, her eyes turned south.

Training:

Auristics +26 pts. SP

Picked up from a mad wizard she met quite a few years back, Auristics has become Sela's primary magic form. Her trust issues thank her for choosing it.

Persuasion +14 pts. SP

Sela isn't a fighter. Not anymore. She prefers talking her way out of situations as opposed to engaging in them; Auristics and a natural-born silver tongue has mean she has advanced far in the field of persuasion, though she is by no means a master at it.

Weapon (Kris) +10 pts. SP

While Sela prefers weaseling her way out of situations then breaking heads, there comes times when slipping away is impossible. For those situations, Sela has been busy reacquainting herself with a wavy dagger known as a kris, which she had practiced with when she was mortal.

Embalming +10 pts. RB
