[OOC] Unquiet

[Mokley]

I swear this is next on my list! I needed to recharge my inspiration, so naturally the solution was to get Netflix. Goodbye productivity. X.x

NAME: Grace Ayverin, "The Soulsnatcher", "The Tainted Child", Zhir Zori-ic

ABSTRACT: A misunderstood Golemancer condemned for sacrificing children.

DETAIL:

She only used her magic to get back what was taken from her.

They didn't ask her her circumstance.

She only used spirits of the naturally deceased. Animals and the rare volunteer.

They didn't believe her tale.

She was a scared little girl the first time she used her gift.

They called her Demonspawn.

She could have easilly told her creations to rise up and rip apart their transport, kill everyone around her, and returned to lay waste to their cities and castles.

They lived on regardless.

Despite their accusations, she was no murderer, no force of Evil to leave children orphaned or wives widowed. When they came with their armies, she put up no fight, allowed them to put her in irons, and stoicly accepted her fate as they sentenced her to a slow execution.

She had always known she would be condemned for her gift, and had made peace with it long ago. She would take her last bow with grace, as her mother had named her and raised her for.

As she drifted off to sleep in the back of the waggon, the tiny wooden bird on her shoulder whispered into her ear before flying away.

"I am proud of you, my beautiful daughter."

Name: Amuné Ris

Abstract: a frightened child with a troublesome gift

Appearance: Only eight years old, Amuné is a slight child, more angles than baby fat. She has wide gray eyes and short mousy brown hair. Her clothes are not in the best condition, stained and torn in places. At the moment she is extremely shy and wary of others, scaring easily. Her constant companion is a battered kitten doll that she will not leave behind without a fight. There’s something odd about her, but it’s hard to determine what.

Details: Amuné is the child of a Rover who settled down with a village midwife and healer. She was a strange girl even as a babe, though she didn’t register on the snare screening, as she lacked any visible traits. But she was indeed a snare, and one with an unusual gift. Past, present, and future: a Seer with training can glimpse them all, learning from what has come before and predicting what lies ahead. Amuné did not receive any training, however, and even when her father realized what was going on, he cautioned her to keep it secret, and do her best to avoid visions. Despite her efforts, the girl was not able to prevent them completely, nor was she able to keep from describing them aloud with total success. As a result she was viewed as a queer child, and ended up having only a few good friends.

Her mother was unnerved as well, mostly because she tended to notice primarily how Amuné’s moods frequently reflected downward turns in illnesses or stillborn children before the fact. It didn’t become a serious issue until the child’s seventh year, however, when her baby brother became quite ill. The girl did everything she could to help, as she adored her brother, and was really worried about him. Her mother saw it instead as an omen of disaster, and made use of forbidden arts to ensure the boy would recover. The healer was able to cure her sick son, but it came at a price. She was corrupted by the bargain, and became host to a lesser minion of one of the old gods.

Amuné could tell something had changed in her mother, but not what. However, the creature viewed the child and her ability as a threat. It didn’t take too much persuasion to turn the woman against the young Seer. She’d never been comfortable with the girl’s strange moods and odd fits that didn’t have any evident source. She was a superstitious woman even at the best of times, and the darkness riding her took advantage of that, twisting her to its own ends. Then both she and it turned their attention to the rest of the town. They played upon emotions and fears, sowing anger and doubt. Over time, they convinced the townsfolk that there was something wrong with the girl, that she was a snare that had somehow gone undetected, or more likely a witch, and her fits were evidence of her evil power, that the things she said that were out of place but oddly insightful or foreboding in hindsight were actually times when she used magic to bring disaster. Eventually woman and creature were able to goad a number of the citizens into action.

Things didn’t go the way anyone expected. A cruel twist of fate hit the child with a vision during the confrontation, and her words were taken as a curse. The ensuing chaos left flames spreading through the village, destroying houses and claiming lives. The local guard intervened before Amuné was killed by the enraged mob, but not soon enough to keep her father from dying in an attempt to protect her. Nor did the girl escape so easily; she was judged guilty and sentenced to the Stone.

@shylarah pretty wild! Approved. :) go ahead and get her out of that coffin before the whole place collapses, haha!

hi

[drewccapp]

Rain has been kicked into high fear (I mean gear)

EDIT: Oh and *waves*

[shylarah]

*waves*

Ah, it seems Amune is going to go separately from the others. At least for now. ^.^

[shylarah]

@Wishful Stray So your char is heading outside, as opposed to inwards toward where Amune went? If that's the case, I'm gonna wait on Mokley to post before I go again.

@shylarah

Ah, I'm not sure actually. ^^" It's the hallway the god was blocking, the one the orge was originally in, so I assumed there was a massive hole somewhere leading outside, but it could be the same hallway?
