Elise Emeria's page

1st lvl spells: 4/6

Elise was the child of unknown parents, raised in an orphanage in Kenabres--perhaps one of many orphaned by war. For a time, Elise seemed almost like any other child. But the signs were there. She had a birthmark, of course, the sigil of the Runewardens that suggested an unusual exposure to rift energies. She was unusually flawless in appearance. But it was Elise's mind that was truly special. Elise was surprisingly perceptive about things and people around her, as if she could sense their energies, or even their thoughts and feelings. But it was when Elise began to move objects with only a thought that those in the orphanage really took notice--and began to fear. Elise found herself chided by adults, teased by children, and shunned by everyone. Their fear was her greatest adversary; yet also the most powerful social tool she naturally could wield.

As word spread, Elise found herself adopted by the Emerias, an aristocratic family that had a special interest in those with unusual talents. There, Elise was but one of many, and her strangeness did not make her a pariah. Fear was replaced with kindness and compassion. Elise flourished in her new environment. And, like many of her peers, she began training for the most noble of causes--the Crusade against the demons of the Worldwound. She learned all she could to defeat those vile foes--their strengths, their weaknesses, even their language. And she honed her gifts so they might serve as weapons in battle.

Given her unusual talents, Elise was placed in a leadership role, one that was not entirely natural for someone who had felt socially awkward. Uncomfortable leading with words, Elise preferred to lead by example, with some success. But there came a time when Elise challenged too strong a foe, daring to charge against a massive demonic being with powerful magics. The creature called down hellfire on Elise, and her body was consumed by flames. Or so it seemed.

But Elise did not die there. Someone, or something, was watching over her, and Elise was startled to find that her mind, her will, still endured. She could feel herself gain power over the flames consuming her just as much as over solid matter. And as she sought to restore her body, knitting flesh and fire, a new being arose. A phoenix rising from the ashes to new life. The sight of her rebirth created not only fear but awe in the eyes of friend and foe. And the troops she led, inspired by the sight, battled unwaveringly in overwhelming the demon.

Now Elise had even greater gifts--the power of fire flowed within her, and she could wield it to both consume and knit flesh. But within the fire was the taint of darkness--the abyssal energies that she had made a part of herself. It remained to be seen whether that darkness could continue to be wielded in the cause of good.

Reference Image

Elise has lightly tanned skin with flaming orange hair. She has a penchant for bright clothing and robes. After her rebirth, Elise has found a brashness and confidence that was once missing, to the point that she sees herself as a savior of the common people. She is quick to anger but also quick to forgive, and has become passionate about enjoying what life has to offer.

Traits:
-Riftwarden Orphan: You bear a strange birthmark on your body—something you’ve learned is the Sign of the Seeker’s Spiral, a rune associated with the secret society known as the Riftwardens. You have researched this rune, and have learned that the mark sometimes appears on the children of Riftwardens who have been exposed to particularly strange planar energies. Unfortunately, you never knew your parents, for you were raised by a foster family in Kenabres. Your foster family has confirmed that both of your parents were Riftwardens, and has further confirmed that your parents went missing on a secret mission into the Worldwound less than a month after you were born. You’re not sure what happened to them, but you’re certain they’re dead—and your gut tells you that the one who murdered them yet lives! In any event, you’ve long felt magic in your blood, and casting spells comes easily to you. You gain a +2 trait bonus on all concentration checks.
-Planar Savant: You have always had an innate sense of the workings of the planes and their denizens. You may use your Charisma modifier when making Knowledge (planes) checks instead of your Intelligence modifier
-Reincarnated: You lived a previous life as someone—or something— else. For you, life and death are a cycle, and you have no fear of death. You gain a +2 trait bonus on saving throws against fear and death effects.
