Name: Talice (obsession taken) Rilath (house of dragon)
Gender: Female.
Stage: Ilharres
Class: Yathrin Seer.
Personality: Being able to see the future doesn't actually make you feel especially secure about your own future. In Talice's case, she's paranoid to put it politely and absolutely looney toons to put bluntly. She's prone to over-analysing every vision she has, especially if it's unclear, cryptic or just shows something that she dislikes. She's more than willing to argue over minutae, stubborn to a fault and absolutely determined to make other people understand her visions, even if they'd much rather just go to sleep than hear her debate if the man's tunic was teal or turquoise. Because the difference is crucial when it comes to knowing which conspiracy the man belongs to! They have different uniforms.
When she's not working, she's a devout worshiper of Lloth and believes that those who follow other gods are heretics who should be thrown out. She takes frequent lovers, none of whom she actually loves or even pays much attention to once the deed is done, but has yet to have any children of her own. She doesn't mind that. Children are something that will come in her future, if Lloth wills it. If not, that doesn't matter. Talice isn't particularly fond of children anyway. Other people can mold fragile young minds; she has a future for the Underdark to mold.
She rarely shouts, preferring to remain coolly composed at all times. She's more likely to cut off someone's ear to get their attention than to try to talk over them and often uses her cadre of guards as enforcers in order to get her way or make sure that everyone pays heed to her orders. Seers might be highly protected but Talice isn't naive. No drow is. Lloth blessed her and she uses her abilities to the fullest and isn't picky about whom she uses them on. Anyone could be the enemy. Anyone. Even you.
Personal history: Talice is the child of a priestess and a cut throat. Her father died before she was old enough to have any clear memories of him and as soon as she had her first vision, her mother gave her up to the temple of Lloth. Raised within the temple confines, guarded at all times in case she had an inconveniently timed vision and fell into a fireplace while in the grips of Lloth's touch. She understands the need for protection and flaunts her guards as symbols of her high status and rarity, even as she commands them to perform tasks purely for her own amusement. Her sadistic streak manifests itself most often when dealing with them, Talice having an expert's touch for ritual scarification and a taste for testing out magic bindings on people whom she knows are not allowed to harm her in any manner.
Her first vision was at the relatively young age of forty. Before that, she lived with her mother in the temple. She had no living siblings at that time (two dead brothers, one dead sister) but a decade or so after becoming a Seer, Talice heard that her mother had given birth to a young boy. Talice has never met her half-brother though she has seen her mother separately when her mother visits the temple and asks for an audience with the Seer. She has very little interest in her mother's life and expects the woman to die soon. She might attend the funeral, or she might just avoid it in case it's a trap to lure her into an ambush to kill her. Seers are rare. Of course people would want to kill her. Especially those heretics. They'd do anything to undermine the reign of Lloth and her priestesses.
Physical features: Lithe build, made for speed, long fingers and wary eyes,
Skin colour: Soot black.
Eye colour:Green.
Hair style: The top of her hair is pulled back into semi-French braid that ends up being a ponytail instead. The ends of the ponytail dust her shoulders lightly, and she always has a few loose strands of hair around her cheeks and eyes that are too short to be braided upwards. The ponytail starts high at the top of her head, and is very thick/full. Under that, the rest of her hair spills down to her waist in loose waves that curl just a little near the bottom. Examples of French braid: [x] [x]
Hair colour: Snow white.
Tattoos/markings: Green tattoos wind their way over her eyes and the bridge of her nose, starting at the sides of her forehead and forming a faux-blindfold look. Made of sharp lines that narrow to points when they twist outwards, they look like thorns. They flow over her eyelids as well and a bit below her eyes, not reaching below her nose at any point. Down the centerline of her body, she has similar markings, extending from the hollow of her throat to her navel. At her navel, a circle of spikes jabs outwards. More green tattoos, of the same spiky nature, coil over her fingers and thumbs.
She's got a knot of scars on her left side, like something tried to gut her open and her biceps are covered in slashed scars, the kind that's likely to have been made by knives at close quarters. A circular scar on her midriif, just below and a little to the left of her navel, shows where a crossbolt went through her.
Clothing/armour: Her square-necked top is made of black cloth, shot through with green, ending just under her breasts to leave her midriff bare. It's embroidered with a pattern in silver and green over the bodice, a similar one to the markings over her eyes. She has triple layered shoulder armor, silver with black markings, and vambraces that go from her wrists to her elbows.
Her lower half is clothed in a black skirt, loosely pleated, with a loincloth-like tabard falling over the front. Over her hips, the cloth is pulled together to come together through a silver ring before it forms the tabard. Kind of like this, but at the center, there'd be a silver ring like a buckle. The design on the fold of cloth that falls down the center should mirror the tattoos over her eyes.The ring is made of silver, fairly ornate, mess around with the pattern as much as you like. Her boots are knee-high, engraved with silver designs on black, and the hilts of knives peek out the front.
Over her face, she affects a gauzy black veil with gold trim. It's looped behind her ears, starting just under her eyes, and is transparent enough that her mouth shape and nose outline can be seen, but everything's a little blurred/softened. The veil is a short one, ending at her chin.
Weaponry: Knives sheathed inside each vambrace, three knives tucked into her belt, another two knives tucked into her boot tops.
Other: Seer = instant plothook, if an RP Manager or any of the other players ever needs a reason to kickstart a mission or get a certain char involved. Also, I promise if you choose her and I get to play her, I will be ultra-careful to avoid godmodding with the telepathy and true sight powers.
