Lady Jessica

Lady Jessica Vance

40 year old/Female

Dhampir

Sword Mage

Most of the time Jessica is a kind, warm woman. She is bubbly and, maybe, appears to be a bit ditsy. However, anyone who gets to know her for any amount of time knows she's a highly intelligent woman who hides behind a facade of just being the picture of aristocracy. However, when the blood starts flowing Jessica can be positively vicious. Her enemies must fall. This is a part of herself she tries to suppress.

Jessica comes from the outskirts of Heston, her family is middle level landed nobility. Her mother is the only child of Earl Vance and was married to the man to inherit the Anton title. It would have been fine had he not been turned into a vampire on their wedding day and had Jessica not been conceived during that transition period. Her birth was after her father had been killed and her mother died in childbirth. That left her as the soul inheritor.

Over the years she found that she had certain needs but also certain potentials. She is able to use her innate powers to enhance her combat abilities and her magic. Her major focus has been with divination but she has many spells from other fields. She stays away from Necromancy completely, though, knowing that would only lead her down the wrong path. She went on adventures, much to her grandfather's dismay, and it was glorious.

Most recently, though, she's found herself in the city, her father trying to get her together with the prince it seemed. Jessica has no desire there, he's a child, well an adult but she's nearly twice his age even if she doesn't look it. So, when there was a chance to do something else she took it. And, it never hurt to raise her family's name.

Background:

Maggie comes from a port city called Avondy'llac, which is located in the southern most regions of the Lands of the Nine. Her father was a merchant and skiff sailor there in Avondyllac, and he was murdered when she was 17. He was rather keen on gambling and his debts had finally caught up with him, costing his life. She was also taken, kidnapped as means to compensate for the loss and she was used most accordingly. Repeatedly beaten and raped for nearly a full cycle.. Days turned to weeks, weeks to months.. She was eventually incorporated into a brothel under this same racket's thumb and was made to work as a prostitute for the remainder of her days. Having been hardened like a wooden stake by flame, and as sharp as blades that had tasted her flesh, had devised a plot with a wooed client. It was a rushed and hurried affair, but somehow she and her accomplice had managed to pull it off.

She had no home, or no one left to hold her there so she decided to take up with a band of pirating sailor merchants who were a vivid and vibrant bunch. They took her under their sails and mentored her in every possible aspect they could, and they were very honorable by her. She would use these new talents to develop and refine incite her own voracity and would one day plan to use these skills to get her revenge . She soon became quite the duelist, and an avid lover of the sails and seas. She remained with them for the better part of a decade before she was caught and charged with multiple acts of piracy, and was incarcerated and branded, but she managed a hasty escape which has brought her to the area some 3 years prior.

Mag is an opportunist to the fullest extent of the term.. Aye, she may be a mercenary and a thief but she is an honorable one, if there's any to be had amongst the likes. She is very loyal and protective to those she considers close, and often by morality will take up for those who cannot fend for themselves. She is extremely hard on herself, and judgmental to a fault, though she is anything but lenient to those who oppose her. She is extremely smart, and her charisma and charm are devastating. Because of her "pleasant traits & assets" she can be highly manipulative, getting what she wants quite often from the opposite sex, and sometimes even her own. Making any sort of eye contact should be avoided, if at all possible.
