Amora Lilinlith - Shadow Hunter
Posted: Wed Jan 16, 2019 6:45 pm
First Name: Amora
Last Name: Lilinlith
Call Sign: 'Shade'
Appearance:
Race: Tiefling
Age: 20
Height 5'6''
Weight: 140lbs
Eyes: Black
Hair: Raven Black
Skin: Pale and nearly ashen
Horn Style: Swept back horns approx 16'' in length
Personality Profile:
Aware of her tainted blood, and always reminded of it in one way or another, she is simply trying to survive, with any skills she can. She longs for a personal connection to others, yet is hiding her own past in fear that it will hunt her down. As such she keeps distance from personal questions, deflecting them as she will, while still attempting to be friendly, and sometimes overly friendly. Her first priority is always herself, once that is assured, she may help those that are as unfortunate as her.
She enjoy's life's simple pleasures, and gains small bits of joy when she gets away with certain things, or just has a good day where she doesn't get a glared look in her direction or chased with a broomstick out of an inn.
General Health: Healthy and Spritely
Deity: Sharress
Initial Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Profession: Street Urchin/Thief
Base Class & Proposed Development: Rogue/shadowdancer/guild thief
Habits/Hobbies: Pickpocketing, information gathering, Lock-picking
Languages: Common, Cant, Chondathan, Elven, Abyssal
Weapon of Choice: Shortsword/dagger
Background:
Being born a great granddaughter of a Succubus in a demonic cult would have allowed her to live the life of a demon princess within the cult. However, that was not to be her fate, sense as a babe, the cult was raided by Traidists and discovered after the bloodshed a beautiful baby girl with piercing violet eyes. The ilmatari priest demanded her be saved, not knowing her true heritage, and sent to an orphanage to grow without the influence of what was going to be her life. Growing up, she knew she was special, sense she was the only child of violet eyes, and the only human that she ever saw that had them. She just simply had no idea, until she hit puberty, that's when the demonic blood truly awoke within her, growing horns and a tail.
The orphanage was taken back by her changes, and had a great worry about what sort of trouble she would cause, however, this change was noticed by a benefactor of the orphanage, and she was taken in. The benefactor, however, was not all he seemed. As a hidden practitioner of the Shadow Weave, he saw a new route to power. He began to teach her infernal, in order to create pacts with devils to have a new source of power, as her tainted blood would prevent the ill effects of hearing and speaking the fiendish languages. She was also used in horrid experiments to attempt to find a way for the mage to inherit the fiendish blood so that he might perform the pacts himself. These arcane experiments engraved in her mind a fear and hatred for magic.
After a time, she grew weary of being used and chained like an animal, and through pure luck and practice she managed to undo her chains and escape into the night. After running for a time she found herself at the docks of Waterdeep, and a little seedy tavern where she was able to buy a space in a stall in the barn to sleep, and pay for it by cleaning tables after everyone was passed out, or gone from the tavern. Her conversations with the 'ladies-of-the-night' led her to sharress, of which she shared a kindred story with the goddess of being corrupted by Shar (the shadowmage) and was corrupting their faith. They taught her the basics of seduction, misdirection, and careful application of force when needed. This provided her with means and opportunities to get what she couldn't afford and live with life's simple pleasures.
This all came crashing down again though, once she was found by Sharran, to which she was able to flee, and set south to a new land...
Goals:
-Be accepted for who she is (and accept herself for who she is)
-Find a group that appreciates her particular set of skills
-Be an information broker or join an information broker group
-Master the Art of Shadow-dancing
-Hunt down and eliminate Sharrans
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
-Bit of a kleptomaniac
-Bears a shadow arcane brand on both forearms
-On the run from Shadowmages
-Distrustful of most arcane magic and mages
-Does not know of her exact demonic heritage (Succubus)
-Succubus ancestor comes looking for her
-Demon that made packs with her former master come looking to claim what they are due or completion of a task.
