Ñame: Selene Du’ Vedevich
Age: 19
Race: Human
Hair Color: Light Hickory Brown
Eye Color: Amber
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 130 pounds

*Occupation: Noble

*Personality:
Someone who knows Selene well (though not enough to recognize her human side) she may appear as a stoic woman with a darker, manipulative side. And she is. Intelligent enough to remember small details about a person, and keen enough to scheme them into a weapon she could use later on. She is conscious of her physical attributes, and these too she is willing to use when something she desires is on the line. She is a full-blown declared narcissist who enjoys using garments that she sees as fitting her status. She can be vindictive when there is a reason, and her strong perseverance only allows her to effectively execute attacks against her adversaries. It is probably her benevolent nature which voids her understanding of rude acts, ones she responds with aggression. She is a human nonetheless, and like one she is as liable of emotions as any other person. She is a modest woman. Timid, as a life of withdrawal has killed her ability to initiate a casual conversation. Something that her acquaintances might interpret as a condescending view from someone that does not find them worthy enough to be talked to, although she is always craving a good conversation with someone other than the creature that lives within her. When matters do not concern her personal life she can be pretty assertive about her opinions. Her mercurial nature can show both extremes of her good and bad at times, but in her true self she is not a wicked person, but an ambitious one. 2

Appearance:
Selene has a slim figure, she stands at a slightly taller size for her age. She is young of course, thus her skin is smooth with a creamy texture. Her hair has the consistence of silk, becoming wavy at the ends and having a light hickory brown as its color. In summer days she collects this into a half ponytail that she keeps together with a black ribbon. A heavy gown covers her curves, extending through her arms and plumping at her shoulder. A corset grasps tight her waist, defining her sleek body and emphasizing her blossom. Such gown is embroiled with various black silk garments along with different layers and patterns. Once called a woman ‘beautiful enough to be courted by the prince’, she is indeed quite beautiful. Her face contains no flaw, and her round eyes have a beautiful hue of amber.

History:
Selene was born and raised into a Salvar noble house, closely related to that of Rathaxea, and who's patriach rules one of the largest of the Salvar States. But unlike any other people worth of mention Selene does not posses an intricate play of density which took her astray from her purpose in life. She now roams Althanas seeking to see new places, and oddly enough, meet new people. The reason of her strange behavior is no other than the only human poison, boredom. Selene had always been kept under overwhelming seclusion, never really in contact with his father which always seemed to self absorbed with matters of the royal court, and her mother, ruled by the proper life of a noble lady, was always modest in keeping the name of the branch intact. She was raised since childhood with all the
nuisances of nobility, never to be spoken to by subjects, and never supposed to speak more than the absolute necessary.

A senseless life held no real entertainment. She would attend parties at the Salvar castle when invited, though this otherwise unique opportunity held no real distraction. The rare conversations where always the same, regurgitated over and over by the vain people of the court. She would sit in her room from morn to nightfall, her satin curtains tightly closed as she stared at her door while a servant stood, mute, by her side, prohibited of any interaction, though waiting for any command.
At this point it seemed the only possible entertainment was drama. And what better drama than that of a fugitive noble?

A November night she asked her servant a reckless petition. He was to prepare a carriage and take her to the outskirts of Radasanth, and into the forest. The mistress suddenly had the desire of an evening stroll through the dangerous forest. Against his will the servant complied. It was a swift escape from the house, it was not until two days later that the master would know of the disappearance of her daughter, after entering the forest and vanishing from the inside of the carriage. The imperial secret police would be contacted and a small group of men where dispatched to search for Selene, who for a time, was believed to have been abducted by demons.
Later, evidence would reveal that she might be conspiring with an evil spirit, converting the search into a man-hunt for crimes against the religious state. This issue is regarded with the most secrecy, being related so closely to the king they have managed to avoid rumors that the monarchy has been directly infiltrated by demons.

To escape from the pursue of the police, Selene lives a sedentary life, rotating from her family’s summerhouses throughout Salvar and neighboring nations. The manors she resides in lie usually abandoned, leaving them equally grim at her leave.
As a part of her fleeting routine she has also composed many aliases that, though still tied to her family name, allows her to escape the stealthy persecution in Salvar, Corone and the nearby, highly populated territories: Arcadia, Auryon, Alseia, Caradia, Dionne, Kier, and Lenore, to name a few.

Equipment:
-Fur-rimed leather vest she wears under her gown.
-Family crest emblem.

Skills:
-Selene is an agile and limber woman, she can make long strides and jump long and high distances with the same hassle of an acrobat. Her gown proves no nuisance if escaping is the issue. She can easily jump over a fence or climb a tree without struggle. Her long jumps may appear as if she where gliding above the ground.


The Heart of Zaga

Name: Zaga
Age: 500+
Race: Sprite Spirit
Hair Color: Gold
Eye Color: Amber
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 170


Personality:
Zaga is a calm entity that is subordinate to Selene’s wishes. However, it can be easily irritated as it often turns against the mistress, sometimes even inflicting unreal pain. It can be possessed by a fury that can be qualified as demonical, but often comes to regret its bold acts when possessed by the later. Zaga is also a stoic entity, and usually mellow; liable to feel compassion and might sometimes be inclined to act when he sees a distressed face. Selene can overwrite Zaga’s actions when its mercurial wrath is not in play, however. Zaga is a well-intentioned creature, though the past might prove otherwise…

Appearance:
In his original form Zaga is a sphere of light that floats in the wind, simulating a ball of fire. Zaga can take the shape of a human, his appearance is only limited by his imagination. Being a spirit of nature Zaga has no real gender, however, Zaga is usually addressed by Selene as a male, though Zaga can take the shape of a male or female indifferently. The shape of his preference, however, is that of an elf. His hair forms a blond mane; his eyes have a similar color, a handsome face and a slim and athletic body. He usually wears a brown vest atop a tight long-sleeved black sweater. He wears gray jeans, and uses round-tipped boots as his shoes. His abilities with mutation also allow him to create these fabrics, so his clothes regularly change. His armor, though created by him aswell, may not be altered.

History:
What a dreadful night that was, one of springs, in which the stars themselves fell from the skies in galore of flashing lights that illuminated the skies above Salvar. Many people had regarded such event as a beautiful stellar occurrence that should be celebrated, however it was a night in which an isolated act shook the harmony of the heavens and that of nature to its core.

Haven read a few books Selene walked to the garden of the Vedevich’s manor, when the sky began to cry tears of light. Her interaction with such tears was not prevented from just watching, when rows and rows of these came began to actually impact the territory. In the horizon the hue of clouds of iris fire blemished above the crowns of threes. One fell close nearby where Selene then stood, a humanoid glowing creature had broken the earth. It was Zaga.

He started up to heaven, waiting for death to come, when Selene came upon him. It was a treacherous petition but he desperately asked for Selene’s help life quickly fled his body. Through her mouth she would absorb him, and through her chest he would revive as a shimmering yellow fire. Selene did so to pity the innocent creature, but as the spire entered her body , the malicious being took her heart and embodied into himself before leaving her chest. Zaga merged their lives together to save himself.

It was a horrible treason, but at that she would not set her gaze upon the spirit unlit she would truly need him. Zaga remained living inside her soul, leeching of her hospitality, but understood the nature of his acts and never dignified himself to appear before her, as he had not only attempted against her but against his own nature.


Skills:
-Metamorphosis: at lv.0 Zaga can transform into small objects and medium-sized animals, ranging from rodents to canines. Although in battle Zaga will only use a humanoid form, this might change in future levels. He may not change in high-level weapons such as explosives.
-Telepathy: Zaga only uses telepathy as his means of communication, he will select those to whom speak, and like this his mellow voice might resemble a sound.
-Kinesis: At lv.0 Zaga can move objects weighing ~10 pounds.
- Energy Sphere: Zaga can create a spheres of light or shadow which at contact can cause second degree burns. After use, these will injure Zaga.
-Zaga has the ability to view upon other people’s auras.
-Below average swordsman

Weaknesses:
-Zaga’s and Selene’s life is the same, when either of them feel pain the other will as well. Zaga is the embodies essence of Selene’s heart, if he where to perish Selene would die instantly. Although this is not the same for Zaga, as he will be able to live as Selene’s heart.

Items:
-Light Leather caps.
-Chest plate made of a material with properties of steel
-Medium helm “ “ “
-Medium sword made of iron.-12" knife

I just wanted to fix Selene's personality and also fix Zaga's abilities a little.

Please take note that Zaga's a battle familiar who has the battle potential, and not Selene. Just want to know if this is allowed.

I updated Zaga's abilities, as he can take any human shape... a mod can tell me if it's allowed for him to take another person's shape. I will not ask for him to acquire someone else's abilities if so.

In battle Zaga cannot transform into an animal, but he can take any humanoid shape. One that does not give him any extra skills or boosts of power, like being more limber or having more muscle than the average person, etc. Please look into Zaga's appearance entry and see if It's ok.

My excuse for giving him average swordsmanship, a sword, and granting him second degree burns is that, in battle, and enemy has a two targets to attack and one is a sitting duck. Selene has no means to defend herself, when she is attacked so is Zaga injured, having to be close to Zaga he will have to defend her as well. By no means do I expect Zaga's abilities to be underpowered at this level, but if you see that I can acquire a little more power let me know. Since I don't really expect the abilities to be approved as they are please try recommending something that will help me keep the totality of the skills.

Since you haven't finished any threads, I'll treat this as a level 0 approval.

Zaga transforming is fine, unless he can turn into high-grade weapons for Selene to use or, you know, explosives.

His Kinesis is too powerful. Change that to something like 10 pounds.

Have the energy spheres be limited somehow. Like they start to hurt Zaga after he uses one, or he can only use 2 in a battle, or something.

Make him a below average swordsman.

Woops. It seems I used the draft for my Lv.0 approbation as a draft for this.

His kinesis had already been lowered to ~50 pounds. Here yonder (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=15546)

I don't suppose this will influence your decision anyways(?)

Hmakay, Edited.

Sorry to gimp you :( I just figure that telekinesis is very diverse, like you can launch a stone at a dude's skill from behind while you slash from the front. We still cool, I hope!

Approzied.
