Elaria Slethens

Tiefling, 5'6, 135 lbs, yellow eyes, silver hair. Healthy woman in early 40s. Chaotic Neutral .

Background, brief version:

As a young teen she fell in love with a priest of sharess and became a priestess herself. Inevitably she became envious of the mans other lovers and she grew to despise him. Because of her heritege and feelings of betrayal she turned bitter and become more and more reckless and risque in her leisurely pursuits. As the years passed there was less and less to experience in life and she began to become increasingly obsessed with the tabboo. She planned out a couple situations which would give her the thrill she craved while ending her own life in the process, but fate or dumb luck intervened both times and she survived. Not entirely of her own mind she eventually gave into her predatory impulses and killed a man which gave her a rush like no other. The last straw for Sharess who cut off ties with her. She then sought out work as an assassin to quench her homicidal impulses. Some years had passed and the thrill of killing slowly faded. During one of her assignments she killed her mark in his abode when his young daughter entered asking her daddy for water. Elaria hesitated, but her contract was non-negotiable, leave no witnesses. She attempted to console the young girl putting her arm around her as she stabbed her in the base of the skull killing her instantly, dying in her arms. Elaria began to weep uncontrollably holding the young girl in her arms until she awoke the next day. Symbolically she destroyed her magical dagger with a large magical hammer. After wandering for a number of years trying to find herself, she has found her way to the sword coast in the hopes of finding purpose in life and atone for actions against sharess.

A friend sent me something from faith no more an it perfectly fits Elaria. With her past and sometimes current "poison" useage under the influence of something sinister and her time as an assassin for hire. For those who know more, it will make a lot more sense.

Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumblin' away
But I know, there's a picture beneath
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens...
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
Layin' face down on the ground
My fingers in my ears to block the sound
My eyes shut tight to avoid the sight
Anticipating the end, losing the will to fight
Droplets of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
But I know, the equilibrium's there
Indecision clouds my vision
No one listens
Because I'm somewhere in between
My love and my agony
You see, I'm somewhere in between
My life is falling to pieces
Somebody put me together
