Profile i was given___________________________________ _____________________________

Name: Rhysta Lordellan Cyllianorschiake of the Gr'lauda'afe tribe

Age: 21

Race: Half elf/human

Gender: Female

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 154 lbs

Eyes: Purple with silver flecks

Hair: White waist long; several chin-long black locks just above her left eye, usually covering her cheek The b/w reference picture is specifically for the hair.

Skin: Pale and shimmery; she bears a stark white burn scar on her left cheek, usually covered by the black locks of hair. It spans her entire cheek.

Build: Thin and wiry; her muscles are developed for staff fighting

Class: Mage

Weapon(s): Staff with a stone set in the top of it. The stone is caged inside the carved wood, so it looks somewhat like a teardrop-shaped bird cage with a blue stone inside.

Clothes: Rhysta's clothes may vary, but she always wears a distorted-teardrop-shaped pendant of a blue/purple swirled color. Usually, her top is tight and green and her pants are loose and brown. She rarely wears a skirt, and if she does, it is in a situation where she needs to be dressed up. Thus, the usual color scheme would not hold true. She wears brown boots that come to her mid-calf and lace up on the inside side.

Origins: Unknown

Personality: Quiet and withdrawn, Rhysta is a watcher. Sarcastic and skeptical, she tends to wait until people proove themselves before trusting them fully. Very much motivated in her own self-interests...she has one main goal and anything that doesn't contribute to that is a minor concern.

Miscellaneous: Her entire left cheek is scarred from a burn she recieved when she landed face-down on a small pile of coals. If you want to draw a scene from her history, make sure you draw her hair shorter. If you have any questions about details, I can tell you more than is written in her bio. It is purposely vague for RP purposes. The Pendant is very important; all of her relatives on her mother's side have one that they pass down through their family. These pendants together form the key to sealing a dark elf away where he can do no harm; this elf is the one that she's looking for now. She's a mage...just in general. Not devoted to an element. Rather, she manipulates the magic energy that all living things give off in small amounts that accumulates in reservoirs. She can draw energy from herself or from her environment.

History: Rhysta grew up with her elven mother and her younger brother on the outskirts of an elven community. Her mother was not accepted fully into the community because of her relationship with a human man (Rhysta and her brother's father). When Rhysta was ten she was given a pendant by her mother and told to keep it sacred and guard it with her life, which she did diligently.

A few years later, Rhysta awoke to a searing heat on her chest and the cries of her mother, shouting for her and her brother to get out of the house. She ran out her door and tried to reach her mother's room, but flames blocked the hallway. She ran down the stairs to her brother's room and woke him up, pulling him behind her as she tried to get through the house to the door. The ceiling was burning from upstairs and the supports weakening, and before they reached safety it collapsed on top of both of them, a burning crossbeam falling between her and her brother.

When she awoke in the early dawn hours, she was lying halfway under a hedge in the forest, clear of the rubble of the burned house, her cheek searingly painful. She lifted her face and found she'd landed on a small pile of hot coals and burned the entire surface of her left cheek. Her brother was nowhere to be found, and neither was her mother; she assumed she had lost them both in the fire. The pendant was still around her neck, but she had no knowledge of what it was, just that she must keep it safe. And to do that she had to learn to fend for herself; so she did just that.

Rhysta found a teacher, or rather, the teacher found her, and taught her the use of her magic. He also taught her more physical uses of the staff that held her focus-stone, and she soon became a proficient staff fighter. Now she searches for the dark elf that she has learned was the cause of that fire, determined to unlock the power of the pendant she bears and avenge her family.
