Israe'anna (Current)

Unread post by Israe »

First Name: Israe'Anna
Last Name: "Ssin"

Basics- Very tall for a dark elf, and a lithe build, being fit and athletic. She would be an obvious runner type, with a toned body to match her quick style of fighting. She would also usually have harsh features painted on her face, giving it almost a *****like mask at most times. Despite it all, she appears exotic to even most Drow as she's from a fallen city that is known to be the home of the followers of Kiaransalee.
.-------------------------------APPEARANCE AND PHYSICAL TRAITS---------------------------------
Race: Drow
Age: Unknown
Height: 5'4'' (163cm)
Weight: Roughly 125lb (56.5kg)

--Head to Toe--

Hair: Naturally Jet Black (result of Event), formerly Silvery White. Her hair is taken good care of, often with ample amounts pinned up, with it still falling down midway on her back. The pride she takes in her hair is identifiable, and if one were to touch it they might not live very long afterwards.

Eyes- Blood Red Iris's are met by pure black pupils and a pretty Almond Shape. Her eyelashes are long and pure black, as well as her eyebrows creating a rather bold look with her eyes often giving the impression she's looking through someone, or "Peering into their soul."

Ears- Long Ears stick out from her Dark Hair, ending in sharp tips. They're long, earning her the title of "Knife Ears" more than many of her kin. As they end, it would be noticed when the wind blows against them or they're touched they often twitch- and her ears are more than a little sensitive to her as she would often be on guard if someone were to go near them. If one were really keen on reading ones behavior, they may be able to tell she relies on her sense of hearing more than any other sense.

Lips- Dark lips that are full and curved into an almost amused expression at all times contrast against pearly white teeth. It would be hard to read if she finds anyone funny, or is about to rip their throat out.

Face- Sharp Angular Features, with a natural RBF(Look it up). When she talks, she often shows her feelings with her face, mostly amused or mischievous. Her hair often covers much of it. Her eyes are met by angular and sharp cheekbones, with slight features that give off a dark beauty to her with the way the shadows contrast on her skin. If one were to gaze into her face too long, or meet her stare unless they have a high will they often would feel as if they are being judged or sized up (As they likely are.)

Body- She sports an athletic body, with feminine curves. Though rather lightly built she would have much lean muscle and appear to be in amazing shape. If one were able to touch her, they would notice she doesn't have much fat on her, but her skin is also soft to the touch despite the appearance.

Chest- Her curves on her chest with tightly fitting clothing make it too easy to tell she is female, or make it safer to ASSUME she's female (No telling nowadays.) Her shoulders stay rather thin giving her a lean and lithe appearance, moving down to her arms and abdomen.

Arms- Her arm are proportionate to her body, though they show slight definition though small of the muscle underneath. It would be quickly apparently she can likely fight with her hands better than many do.

Abdomen- Her stomache and abdomen narrow in, and if seen without it being covered they would see she has very little fat and a thin waste. The outline of the muscles there would be ascentuated by her darker skin, enhancing any effects shadows may have on her definition.

Hips- Her hips spread and lead down to her legs, as the muscles on her upper legs and hips merge it would be apparent she can "Spring" if needed. The way the muscle shapes there, it would be obvious that she can move extremely fast if needed- likely quicker than most would be on their feet.

Legs- Strong legs support her frame, once again being proportionate. With the build and lean muscle definition it would be once again obvious she can likely fight with her legs too, and run most of her enemies down or even flee, if needed. Her legs would only be obtained by years of running, setting her ahead of most of her competition.

-------------------------Piercings and Jewelry(Mostly Visible)---------------------------------------------
Ears- Many solid black diamond earrings adorn her ears. Any who knows her may notice the golden stud at the top of her right ear is gone, replaced by a black diamond ring as well.

Neck- A Amulet hangs with shadows covering the front of it, and on the back of it is the words "Na'er shall we die."

Left Nostril- A single black diamond stud.

Lower left lip- A silver stud, ending with another black diamond.

Fingers- Each one of her fingers except her thumb have a silver ring on it, that belonged to her mother whom she killed. She wears them as a trophy of when she truely learned what it was to be a drow. On her left thumb is a Ring of the Knight as well. They are worn over her gloves, strangely enough.

Gloves- Her gloves are solid black with red lines through them, being rather fancy. On one is a clover, and the other is a heart. The gloves would appear to be replicas of a former known Monks gloves. Each finger however ends in a mithril claw, an inch and a half long. At the vicious tips of each of these claws is a diamond, allowing her to pierce even the toughest of hides if she chooses to.

Belly Button- A small mithril chain hangs down, with a 2 inch mithril hilted and diamond tipped dagger that seems to have a glass in it with a clear fluid. It would be quite sharp, and dangerous looking if she were to choose to use the dagger.

Wrist- They sport a pair of Adamantine manacles, enchanted to allow whoever put them there to force her to stand down, or release her to fight. They are low profile, and thin- and would not appear to be cheap and humiliating in any way.

----------------------------------Tattoo's and Identifying Marks---------------------------------

Face- Her face has Dark Red Tribal Tattoos going down to her neck and body, visible going to her chest as well. The right side of her cheek has a scar from a thin blade, narrowly missing her eye and barely noticeable. The left side of her face has three slash scars beginning at the upper left of her brow, and ending down in line with her chin. The scars are jagged and vertical, barely missing her lips at the bottom.

Neck- On the back is a closed fist of a Tyrant, in darker black.

Neck/Right Rib cage/ Right Abdomen: A mostly black picture of herself, looking up and smiling viciously. She woudl be holding chains and a whip, which crawl upwards to her neck. There would be a human male with a closed fist symbol trying to escape, but being held helpless by the drow as if it is enslaved.

Left Upper Arm- An Eagle Screeching on a Black Shield.

Left Forearm- A purple spider eating a red Pit Fiend. The Pit Fiend is stuck in the spiders web, with the background being a darkest shade of black.

Right Forearm- A vicious wolf with black and gray shades, and silver streaking fur. It would be feral and snarling with golden yellow eyes staring out viciously. (Symbol of Hellstorm)

Arms- The rest of her arms are covered in the same tribal markings.

Chest- "VALA" Over her heart.
"STAY STRONG" on the right Collar Bone.
"STAY ALIVE" on the left collar bone.

Back- "REVENGE" across her upper back.
Black Angel Wings on her shoulder blades.

Right Abdomen- An X scar with a rounded center.

----------------------------------Profile----------------------------------------------------------

Personality Profile: Cold, and calculating. She is also mischievous, often acting out of curiosity and amusement rather than logic.
General Health: She would be fit, and keep herself clean and practice good hygiene.
Deity: Unknown
Initial Alignment: Unknown
Profession: Unknown
Base Class & Proposed Development: Unknown.
Habits/Hobbies: She often writes in a journal if she has time. She also enjoys studying subjects she's curious about, or socializing with certain creatures. Other than that, long walks on the beach with a lack of sunshine should do the trick. Oh and she likes to drink- a lot. A LOT.
Languages: Elven, Drow, Drow Sign, Undercommon, Common, Sylvan, Draconic, Infernal, Thayan.
Weapon of Choice: Tongue, if tongue fails, clawed gloves.

Overall Background- Born in V'Eldrinnsshar. She has been through much in her time at Baldur's Gate region, and developed in many ways. She is unable to fully behave like a drow, and often makes the statement "I've lost the right to call myself Illythiir." She seems to suffer from a lack of self worth, but also is known as a very dangerous opponent should she get violent. She's often unpredictable, however she also backs off from many of her enemies or fights for a cause of simply not knowing what to believe or care about anymore. If one were to truly understand her, they would be able to identify that she has been completely defeated and torn apart through her experiences, to the point where she barely fears death anymore. At this point she is looking for a reason to live- instead of just the next bloody conflict to run into or the next guild to use her as a slave or tool. She often acts brash, and ends up in scuffles even with her allies due to her attitude. Many of the traits she's developed are very non-drow, do to the immense time spent on the surface and treatment by many. A bitterness is held as she has been trained to do much on the surface side, to include hide her accent since if she spoke with one in the Zhentilar ranks she would be met with intense punishment. It is hard to tell when you deal with her which side she will take- the beastial and evil side. Or the side of what's right. It seems on any given day she could be your best friend, or your worst enemy.
Despite this all, if any were to want to be her partner they need to be reliable. If any were to want to be intimate with her she has one rule- you have to be able to beat her. To this day only one has managed to do so.

BG History (As close to Chronological and accurate as I can remember).

1. Israe'anna arrives in Sshamath, immediately angers Conclave and Seventh Circle. She proceeds to flaunt her Lolthite Ideals, and ends up having to serve as a slave to the Seventh Circle for a short time period to welcome her to Sshamath.

2. She enslaves a poor Tiefling named Vala herself. Proceeds to perform scouting duties with the slaves assistance in the Underdark.

3. Israe makes a reputation for herself, often getting in fights with males who refuse to even bow to her. She makes it known that any non-drow is lesser, and unfortunately her and her slave catch the eye of Valshar and she refuses to hand over the slave often damaging or wounding members of Sshamath in their attempts to take the slave.

4. After proving herself capable and entertaining, much time is spent warring with the other Drow in the Underdark. After much time passes, she and two of her frienemies end up knocked out by a gang of orcs, along with her slave. They all wake up on the surface, with the orc laughing and telling them good luck. The last words from the orc are "He wishes you good luck." (DM Directed)

5. Doron Amar Blockades Durlags, the three drow and slave are forced to try to survive on the surface. (DM Event begins to survive.)

6. One Companion dies in a fight with surfacers. The two Drow and slave retreat to Roaringshores lawlessness to try and arrange a way back to the Underdark.

7. Israe and the other Drow try to betray one another. It ends with Israe setting an ambush and blowing up half of the Roaringshore dock, with a horde of angry pirates coming down to the docks. She flees, however at the end of the dock the Hellstorm crew corners her with her slave standing between them, and she turns without knowing how to swim. She throws herself at their mercy, surrendering and revealing herself where shortly after she's taken to the boat and informed it will be her new home, and her free will is gone. (Officially Joins Hellstorm)

8. Israe gets separated from her slave when a male Dark Elf appears on the Sea Wolf and takes her, with the crew handing her over. At that point the leader of the Pirates turns to Israe, informs her of the whole scheme as well as their responsibility is to keep her out of the Underdark for good. During this time she begins to start learning common.

9. After a rough life on the boat, one of the members leaves in a fit of rage and knocks out Israe taking her with him. When she wakes up she is sitting in a Zhentarim cell, and later moved to the dungeons of the Zhentarim base.

10. The pirate that took her becomes a leader for the Zhentarim, and proceeds to make Israe's life a living hell.

11. The Dread Lord changes to Eliphas, he proceeds to remove her from the cell and laughs at her, releasing her into the surface to find her own way but not after taking a lock of her hair.

12. Israe takes her chances on the surface, and begins to examine possibly converting to EIlistraee after her interactions with surfacers and cetain ones mentioning the "Moon Maiden." This of course end with her on her knees, as the rogue Drow is filled with arrows. Black Archers close in on her, and with tears streaming her face as she believes it's all over she pulls a fuse on one last ultimate trap she'd made- detonating acid and explosives all over her body and wounding all of the hunters badly in the process. Unfortunately she passes away, but is robbed of peace of death.

13. She awakens naked on the floor of the Temple of Bane, a piece of her soul stolen by Eliphas in his sword. He takes her in, and trains her personally to be his own servant. During this time they move to Darkhold, and she becomes a "Lover" to him. (Though if she is capable of loving could be debated.) She spends much time in Darkhold, but eventually wants to return to the Underdark.

14. Israe finally betrays the Zhentarim, and flees down into the Underdark. Upon returning the Lolthites take her back in, however they keep her at a distance and disadvantage. Upon the capture of a high ranking member of Doron Amar, one of the Lolthite priestesses begins torturing the captive. Israe helps the captive escape- gets captured in the process and abandoned by her companion, and eventually returned to the Underdark by Thedran for surrendering and assisting Sayiel in escaping.

15. Upon returning, she is taunted in Glouras Wings by a Lolthite Priestess. Using her conclave ranking and position that she's earned in that time- she abuses it to assault and humiliate that Priestess in the middle of Glouras. She ends up killing the Priestess.

16. The head of Sshamaths Lolthites, Bel'riia gets permission to capture Israe. Upon capture, she tortures her to the extent of public humiliation in the city, enough pain to make anyone scream, and years of torture in an alternate layer of the Abyss where time travels differently.

17. What was just days in Faerun, ends up being years for her. She returns to Sshamath, and is visited to a Mindflayer who sucks away her memories.

18. Her former slave visits her, and professes loyalty to her still. Israe, unable to remember anything corners her and kills her in cold blood.

19. A hidden voice provides hidden guidance, and changes her life.

20. She attends training somewhere, for something.

21. She returns to the Underdark, does her duties, however she realizes her memories were stolen and claims them back from the Mindflayer.

22. Upon realization of what all she's done, she begins to isolate herself. She rejoins the Zhentarim, and assist them with their plots.

23. Israe functions in Sshamath, pretending to be a Lolthite and often switching houses and assisting them, she orchestrates an overall war against Dev'lin.

24. She loses the war, and ends up annexed into Dev'lin ranks. During this time, one of her former colleagues lets loose a secret about her- so she escapes before Dev'lin can act on it and moves to Darkhold.

25. Israe stays in Darkhold for good, only visiting the Underdark in disguise as her truth would lead to her death.

26. Eliphas Valkarian passes away, and a new Dreadlord is named.

27. Israe'anna ends up banished from Zhentarim.

28. Israe survives on her own, isolated for some time. When the new Dreadlord is named she re-earns her place back to the Zhentarim.

29. Israe forms a relationship with another in the Zhentilar ranks, due to his power and ability to handle her despite giving her permission to go all out against him.

30. Israe's partner leaves on a mission, likely to not return.

31. As only Israe can, she gets kicked out again.

32. She moves to a certain city, and seeks out her old comrades taking her back.

33. Israe gets back in with her old companion, and begins the process of rejoining her old companions.

34.. From here, she occupies regions from Beregost up to FAI and Candlekeep, often moving and hunting a specific orc. She also seeks to make bonds with surface organizations towards avenging herself, in a move that will change her life. (Current)
