Your Name: Zel
Character Name: Hermoine Raye
Race: Human/ Magick User Witch level
Petition for Address: I havent a clue but was hoping to put her somewhere nice and gothic with a huge cellar (obviously) So seeing as the map has gone walkiesplease just shove her anywhere but bear in mind shes got some pretty damn weird tastes.
Family Members: As far as family goes, most of her relatives are dead because she either killed them or outlived them naturally. (Though unknown to her she has a son somewhere still alive.)
Friends Names: Hermoine keeps a low profile and does not have many friends, after all why have friends when you can have business partners.
Social Class/Alignment (i.e. Neutral, Light, Dark, Chaotic or combination): Class: Well off. Alignment: Dark, darker, darkening, darker still. (Err dark then eh?)
Occupation(including career goals (if changing), skills and employer):
Hermoine is self employed as a stock dealer (the stock is slavery, but shes not letting on till later so pretend that you havent seen this) Her goals are to become established in Eldhin within the boundaries of her trade. Her skills would be everything within the lines of handling livestock.
Sense of Humor: Evil. Well shes got quite a dark sense of humour
Tastes in food, drink and clothing: Food: Anything that is healthy and restores the natural balance of the body. Shes got to take care of herself after all shes coming up to One hundred and Two
Drink: Water and only water, after all anything else interferes with the bodies system and the flow of energy doesnt it? She isnt the kind of person who would go out and get drunk of her own free will, but you never knowit might happen yet!
Clothing: Her tastes are different and make her come across as quaintly eccentric. She has a tendancy toward long velvet skirts and white lace blouses, the whole look makes her appear as though shes just stepped out of an Edwardian Period dramawhich basically means she is wearing the fashion of her youth.
Fears or phobias: She worries a lot about people realising how old she is and starting to ask awkward questions. She looks to be in her early forties through devious means of magical manipulation. Her one greatest phobia is death, mainly because hes been stalking her for years now and she simply refuses to acknowledge that hes there.
Philosophy of Life (in a phrase): If you fear it conquer it.
Date & Place of Birth(include human birth and turning rebirth if applicable): Britain. Her birth date is November 5th 1900.
Physical Description(include Height,Weight,Health,Physical Condition,Distinguishing Marks and Ethnic Origin): Slim to the point of being anorexic Hermoine weighs very little and is in extremely good physical condition for her age. Her health is very good and she isnt prone to infection or illness yet makes a swift recovery whenever she is ill. She has nut brown hair with a streak of silver at the front, this she views as a necessary placation to the ageing process which she is still defying. Normally her hair is worn up and scraped from her face to reveal a pair of simply enormous ears. Her eyes are a muddy grey blue and a little too closely set for her to appear as trustworthy as shed like you to believe. The rest of her features are pinched and rather old maid-ish. There is something distinctly unpleasant and waspish about this woman. Her one distinguishing mark is a scar that runs from her right temple all the way down to her chin, this is where things got a little out of hand one day when she was raising demons. The demon went home crying for its Mom. Hermoine had only smiled at it in what she considered a reasonable fashion.
Strength & Weakness(*PLEASE see the website for listed strengths and weaknesses and restrictions*): (any strengths that a character (human or elven) had (within reason) remain after turning)
Strengths: The ability to make people do as she wants by being reasonable. How could they possibly refuse her when shes being so reasonable? Shes pretty good with psychology and has an aptitude for knowing and exploiting the weaknesses of others before they realise that shes doing it. Hermoine doesnt have a conscience claiming to have lost it a long time ago when she moved to Eldhin. She is something of a psychic vampire as in as much as when people come near her they go away feeling absolutely drained and screwed over. Hermoine has been a practising witch with a specialism in fire for the past umpteen years and is very adept at what she does. Hence some of her miraculous anti ageing techniques involving the vitality of some of those that are unfortunate enough to make a deal with her. She's also minoring in air... Rumour tends to protect her more than anything physical and she encourages it greatly.
Weakness: Shes human after all, so shes susceptible to things such as beheading, stabbing, shooting, illnessoh and death. Her condition (being human) is something that is ever destined to get in her way, until she comes across an alternative. (Believe me shes looking she just hasnt found anyone with the balls to bite her!) Her utter lack of conscience is a bit of a weakness in as much as she fails to see that shes done anything wrong. Shes a total sociopath, understanding but never interacting with humanity as though she genuinely belongs to it.
Brief History:
At the age of five Hermoine watched her father die of a wasting illness and found it truly fascinating, until then shed only ever gained true enjoyment torturing the family pet. Shed always felt apart from humanity and believed herself better than it. Now shes convinced that she is for shes not shown any of the weaknesses that the rest of her line have. Her Uncle having noticed that she was a somewhat unusual child took her to one side and started to teach her the ancient arts of magic, half of which were forgotten by those flocking to the spiritualist movement and the age of enlightenment. What Hermoine learned was truly of the dark ages and accredited to her sort through the many medieval woodcuts that she constantly is on the look out for to build up her collection. Most of what these woodcuts claim are said to be falsehoods thought up by the church. However Hermoine knows that they were not, they were warnings thought up by the church and if I dont stop now Im going to lapse into alternate history
When her uncle had taught her everything that he thought he knew, she skinned him, made her robes out of him and found out a whole lot more than she ever thought shed would, including in his last dying moments how to cheat death and delay the ageing process. (needless to say it wasnt investing in a good moisturiser.)
All of this lead to her trade which has kept her in good stead for years. Though slavery was abolished a while back, she has carried on, on a supply and demand level, often sending out squads of lackeys to pull people off the street and introduce them to a new careeroddly enough without any prospects of a pay rise or decent future.
Her goal in life is to gain the secret of immortality and having watched Harry Potter is certain that its not contained in a chunk of rock, that would be too simple wouldnt it? The only thing that has changed for Hermoine is her move to Eldhin, which was sort of forced when local factions learned of what she was up to and quite unreasonably (she thought) came to arrest her. Needless to say she moved as though hell was on her tailwhich it has been ever since she decided that her path in life was not to work for her fellow man but to work with him.
At the moment shes currently exploiting the fears of elves and vampire alike and will continue to do so for as long as possible. She holds no particular fear of going to jail for after all shes one hundred and twowhos going to jail a little old lady like her? (whos she kidding!!!)
