"Was there a place, such a place where time stood still and the light danced
with the shadow on the horizon?.. A place of perpetual Twilight, somewhere
between the day and the night, between darkness and dawn.."
*seara mun*
She was born in a time far beyond her own.. Or perhaps well before it. A
past that was never to be her own.. in such a place. She was conceived in
the ash beyond the last wave to touch Ire's shore.. The last battles fallen
away, when the people had lost sight and the world was twisted in its view..
Seara had never set foot in the old realm instead being born into the lanes
of magic that had coursed through the nexus that most accept Rhydin to be..
Her mother Was sometimes called Badb, or the lady of ravens,... improperly
labeled as the "Goddess" of war in translation, rather than the Sidhe Lady
of the middle court.
Her Father, to her, is a mystery, and may probably continue to be.
Regardless
of her parentage,.. and the place she had been created, Seara had been cast
to the mortal realm. Reasonings were simple enough... No Fae, beyond the
tiny mid-worlders could enter the Realm of mortals, save at the sacred places,
unless invited,... and even in those two instances their time and influence
in the realm is short lived.. Seara, full blood Sidhe, and birthed to, as
far as she knew, two nobles, had been placed in a mortal body... and set
to the mortal realms in the hopes that she might act as her mother's liaison
there.. A mortal embodiment of the fairie aspect of war.. Unfortunately,
as such things are want to happen, The transference had stripped Seara of
her memories,.. set her down as a child in a large city on the coast... and
left her there......
Seara had grown up there,.. knowing only the life that had been given her..
and learned how to survive. A natural talent for magic had shown itself rather
early on,... and so she had been taken in and taught,...
Master Fennimare, was so old for a human that he was on the blind side...
and had a pension for getting into debt with the local "block lord" (this
being perhaps a crude term for a sub organization of the thieves guild) as
only He could provide certain herbs that were outlawed for their toxicity.
Eventually the price soared too high.. And Fennimare offered Seara in exchange
for the balance of what he owed. She was perhaps ten full cycles old at that
point...
The child was taken buy the messanger, a woman by the name of L'Llyla, (though
most in the 'racket' refered to her as Shade) and she for reasons of her
own, payed the dept and took the girl in.. This was where Seara came to her
new calling... and trained hard... it was many years later that she had come
full circle... and would join the ranks as an assassin..
Still she had a voice deep within her that forced her to seek out the past...
when finally Shade had died.. Seara studied some of the old legends... and
the rumor of pathways to what could only be referred to as the "olde Worlde"
No... this was not the mystical land of the Sidhe lords and ladies of the
Fairie Courts..
It was the realm in which the mortals had once lived in knowledge of the
fairy kind. Some, the books said, worshiped the fairies as gods... but this
was not true... and she had learned that all history is written by the
conquerors. A pale point of view that, often times, was harsh... justifying
actions through half truths and bald faced lies.. Still she learned much...
and listened to that inner voice...
Seara was hired to find a lord, the name escapes her now, but that job set
things in motion that landed her where she is now.. In the course of that
travel,.. she had met a man by the Name of Duncan... He was searching for
answers.. looking for some way to learn of his father. What Seara did not
know,.. was that her mother had.."arranged" the meeting in the hopes that
this lost Celt, of the Tuatha da Hannard, and half blood Sidhe,.. would be
able to unlock Seara's memories.. But then Duncan was not what one would
call cooperative... Their journey took them into the dark marshes and resulted
in Seara's death...
She was trapped in some sort of limbo, for three long years, her body silently
still after having been set back to life in the old stones beyond the falls.
It took her consciousness that long to find its way to her body.. and so
with only vague nightmares she wandered Rhydin in search of answers... Finally
finding them in a place Called the Raven wing inn,... And those answers came
from Duncan.
Still Badb Seeks to gain hold of her daughter, to complete what she had started so long ago...
Abilities...
*She is a sidhe in the body of a mortal... and still holds some link to the fairie magics...
her control has improved greatly through five years of Marriage to Duncan.
Though unknown to either of them (Her mother has been holding sessions within Searaīs dreams..
honing her elemental and spiritual skills over time..) These abilities are second nature in some cases,
Her motherīs training only showing itself when there is no other recourse.
Seara is not fond of using these skills, as they are spiritual traits that she simply would have been
born with on the otherside..
(Skills that she will likely never be able to use (due to her mortal shell), but has the aptitude
for= Temproal manipulation, Shadowform, Reality slip/shift/ manipulation, Nexus travel.)
(Skills: **Elemental: Manipulation & Manifestation =control, shaping and generation..
Through the use of elemental manipulation one can do many things, not the least of which is alter
oneīs form.. everything is built up of basic core elements, so one can only imaging the range of things
that can be accomplished with a little work.. **Imbdue by channeling bits of her essense into Itemīs or
people, she can enchant the object perhaps even adding bits of her abillity to it.. The enchantment
lasts on a short while, and even then for only one use per day or recooperation required from the
casting.. She would nearly have to kill herself to permanently Imbdue a weapon, or person.)
(Mother trained skills: Tap the wellspring, and sever the laylines. Tapping and severing are two
fundimental skills granted to those of higher position amidst the courts. These usually only
function properly beyond the veil, and can have irrecoverable results in the mortal planes.
**Tapping the welspring draws energy from a being,.. or energy source in an area, effectively granting
their power to the caster.. **Severing the laylines can be temporary, or.. in some rare cases
permanent... Though use of this power one simply redirects, or cuts the flow of spiritual power
to another being place item or spell..)
*Empathical in nature,.. Seara has lost the ability to read thoughts,..
However emotion is something she can sense... and has a fairly short
range,... perhaps only sixty some odd feet in all directions.. and she can only detect strong emotions..
*Seara was trained in the way of mortal spell manipulation, though the
training was never completed, she still has the ability to cast fairly
small spells...
*Lastly, she is an assassin... Skilled in the art of concealment, and
subtlety. She was trained to kill and kill swiftly, being an assassin
isn't the sort of occupation that you play at... you simply kill them
or they are going to get a chance to kill you... She favors small
blades up close and personal.. Knowing a few forms of martial arts..
a blend of three mixing hard and soft style tactics.. (On a last note
here... She does Free form or 2d20's only... I as the mun am here to
RP,.. not do math..)
