Name: Zaephia Malistra
Age: 673
Race: Half Gray/Half Dark Elf
Appearance:
She is 5'10" 115 lbs. She has Silver hair and Silver Eyes. Tan colored Skin making her able to withstand dark and light. She is rarely ever seen without her spear and her longsword. When traveling, she frequently has a brown cloak that covers most of her body, but is very easy to whip off in case she needs to enter into battle quickly.
Alignment: Neutral
Abilities: Zaephia Malistra when it comes to combat is a jack of all trades, but master of none. She can use magic to be or aide her combat in addition to her deadly skills with spears and swords. She can predict monumental events and events pertaining herself with the arts of divining learned from her Gray Elf Mother. She inherited her night vision and shadow step capabilities from her Dark Elf Father making her a deadly assassin allowing her to kill during the night or the day. Out of necessity she learned how to speak all languages of the major races, but does not know lesser races or specific dialects except Drow, and Gray elf. She is also able to communicate with people across the world with her magic, which she most commonly communicates with her people to let them know the progress of her mission.
Background: Zaephia was brought up in a small tribe of Gray Elf that had survived the catastrophe of the Old Kingdom. Due to the lack of inaction seen on the council of the tribe even though they saw the events coming, the council chose not to be passive observers any longer. Shortly after the catastrophe, the tribe began taking on members of other races that shared their ideals into their society. Although it is a small society of only 10,000, it is not uncommon to see mixed races in the society along with pure bloods. To keep their secrecy, there are some members of the society who learned how to erase minds and implant new memories into people. This is done so that when the children reach the age of majority and choose not to follow the path of the society, they will have their memory erased, given enough money to start their lives in the general public. These same members of the society that erase memories, also implant childhood memories of their parents dying saving the adults lives so that they don't go looking for their origins. This way they do not harm the young adults and allow them to live their lives the way they want to, good or evil. For the council is neither good or evil and has sent agents out to side with both good or evil and lawful or chaotic. Their mission is to make it so that neither side of the spectrum will become too powerful in order not to anger a god to cause another catastrophe. Zaephia at the age of 575 was initiated on the council of this society named Ponderus Servitamus, roughly meaning, "We serve the balance." Zaephia, along with 11 other members of the council, contemplate and act on events that are happening throughout the world in order to make sure one side is not gaining power. They have been known to assassinate a good king and replace it with an evil one, in order to start a war between 2 kingdoms that would place them both in check by dwindling the power of a good king and an evil king. They do not fear war, as long as it would cause all sides of the spectrum to be in check and not get too powerful. They do not have an army for themselves, but they have well trained agents, in which the best are usually on the council including Zaephia, to do the influencing. For minor events, they send the lower ranks, to steer major events, more often than not, the council members themselves will take charge. Usually Zaephia is on missions more than she is home.
Role Playing Sample:
It is a bright day in the hills of the conclave in which Ponderus Servitamus has convened. They have come together in order to discuss an event that possibly could upset the balance of power in the world.
"The one called Akabane Kurodo has his eyes set on Queen Kovu of the Kerin." The half-dwarf Zandar Orethrasher begins to explain to the council.
"I see no threat unless he has aide." The half dragon Xantarius gives his opinion.
"It seems Xarthus summoned a storm to prevent him from his attempt, but I do seemed worried, for I see his detour to Juran may help him find aide. I see that young Marthius is desperate in his attempt to find his father and would accept any aide he could take, even if he has reservations about it. Akabane could use this to his advantage. Although I think it unwise to try to interfere with Marthius due to the fact that I feel it is in the best interest to let him complete his journey. So the course of action would be to interfere with Kovu. Besides, Kovu seems to be interested in having a nice little vacation. I fear the loss of her could disrupt the balance on Rijayan. I can leave for their to influence the events from their after I finish my mission here in Tyrul and Flince. I have enough time to end the conspiracy to bring war between Flince and Tyrul before we should consider taking action in Rijayan. I will be there in a few days. I've deemed it necessary to remove the Count." Zaephia explains with her most commanding voice.
The council sits in meditation for a half hour before in unison less Zaephia speaks again.
"We agree. The council gives you this mandate in addition to the current one you are about to execute."
And thus Zaephia walks into the Noble's District in Tyrul and walks into the shadows not to be seen again for a few hours.
