Name: Isodel "Temptress" N'droban
Age: 24
Race: Aleraran Dark Elf
Hair Color: Blue-Grey
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 128 lbs.

Occupation: Freelance Assassin and Suductress

Personality: She's very ambitious and wants to rise to the top. She's naturally good at convincing males to tell her things she wants to know (see history). Isodel hates being insulted and ignored, and will retaliate with many rude words and, most of the time, violence. She has an intimidationg habit of throwing her staff into the air and catching it again when nervous or excited.

Appearance: Isodel, as is common in Dark Elves, has greyish skin that ages slowly. Her hair is blue-grey and she holds it in an heavy iron band. She also wears a cape made out of sheer cloth that reaches down to her ankles. It is fastened to her left shoulder by a clasp attached to a pointed armband which spirals around her left bicep. Her hair ends just under her shoulder blades. Isodel's eyes are blue. She wears a tube top and sheer pants that balloon outward, but are tight around her ankles and waist (the pants are opaque around the general area of her waist).

History

Isodel is Aleraran by birth, but has known since she was about twelve that she is too different from other Dark Elves to ever truly belong. When she was fifteen, Isodel left Alerar and travelled to Scara Brae, where she worked as a bookkeepers assistant (where she learned to read and write) until she was kidnapped by the Scara Brian Intelligence Agency.

She was forced to work for them, and her codename was "Temptress": Fitting, since Isodel's job was to seduce men, gather information from them and then stab them in the back (literally). She detested conforming to the stereotypes that, being a Dark Elf, she was attached to, and so escaped the government's hold on her and left for Corone. She gathered enough money to live on doing odd jobs.

It was during one of these odd jobs that Isodel discovered the staff she has now (see equipment). After discovering what the components of the staff were, she realized that this was the perfect tool to work magic with, and so proceeded to study the art of spellcraft with much fervor. She soon was able to learn a few basic spells and decided to take the incentive this new skill gave her and go adventuring.

Skills

Magic- Blast: Sends a concentrated orb of energy to the chosen target. It will only be used once in a thread. Impact causes a push equivalent to a push from the user. It can only travel one meter every three seconds in a straight line, and will activate on command word "Blast".
Shield: Conjures a 6' by 6' flat surface that deflects blunt attacks like punches. Can only be used once in a thread. It's a very draining spell, and a particulairly stronger than average blow will shatter the shield. Will activate on command word "Shield".

Stealth- Isodel can move quietly, if slowly, through all types of terrain.

Knives- Isodel is slightly above average when it comes to knife fighting and knife throwing. She will hit her desired target fifty percent of the time if she throws a knife. Accuracy varies depending on the quality of the blade.

Equipment

Staff- A Steel staff with a faceted chunk of Calli on the top. The staff is excellent for channeling energy for spells. It can also be used as a physical weapon, but Isodel rarely uses it as such because she is not as strong as she would like to be.

Knives- Three steel throwing knives with cyper handles crafted to fit Isodel's grip. One is in plain sight in her belt, another is strapped onto her right leg partially concealed, and the third is strapped onto the inside of her left forearm.

I see nothing except for the staff, damascus is too high a tier for starting out. It should be iron or steel if you want it in metals. Also, the shield spell, make sure you play that fairly, since a 'strong blow' isn't exactly specific. I'm going to assume that a steel weapon, swung at it without any resistance, would crack if not break it... depending on skill with said weapon and person using it of course.

I changed the staff to steel, and I altered the wording describing Shield's limitations to 'a particulairly stronger than average blow'. As mentioned before, the Shield only deflects blunt attacks, so a sword or sharp arrow would pass through the Shield with no resistance, shattering it in the process. Am I done now?

Yes, that is all. Welcome to Althy, and you are approved.
