About Izura SeleneshBackground:
I was born with magic, though different from that I carry now. The arcane was in my blood, from my father and mother both. I became an accomplished diviner. I read the bones, the cards, and the blood, and saw many things. But then I cast my sight too far. I sought to behold the gods in their home, and I cast my mind's eye toward their realms. And I got my wish - but did not see the gods I wished to see. As my mind's eye sped through the heavens, other beings sensed its presence. My spirit was locked in steel jaws, in the endless void between the stars. The silence of the spaces between dwells still with me, and the writhing, mutable energies of the Dark Tapestry have twisted my form. My inborn magic froze and crumbled, and in its place the dark energies of the void seeped into my soul, forced therein by the mere presence of the Dreamer in the Deep. And it was then that I saw truth. I beheld the Great Old Ones, dreaming in the darkness of the void, and all my power and skill was as nothing before them. All beings of the world taken together are as nothing before them. Now they sleep, but one day they will return to claim their rule of Golarion, and none shall stand before them. They shall return, and I shall be as one of them, free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside, shouting and killing and reveling in joy. They shall lead the world into a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom, and I shall receive my reward as one of the faithful, for paving their way and keeping their memories alive. The fools of this world think that denying my freedom now will wither my resolve and burn away my purpose. They cast me into this imprisonment with what they believed to be an epitaph - "may the gods have no mercy on your souls". But they fail to see the truth. The true gods of this realm have never been merciful or kind. But they are power incarnate. The cold and dark of the infinity within me cannot be illuminated, cannot be warmed. I cannot be contained. They think to leave me for dead. But they know nothing. That is not dead which can eternal lie,
For proper attribution, I did use several phrases directly from H.P. Lovecraft in her story.
Appearance and Personality:
Izura is 31 years old, stands approximately six feet tall, and weighs 120 pounds. It is clear that she was once a great beauty, with both elven and Keleshite human heritage apparent; it is equally as clear that her experiences have changed her almost beyond recognition. She is now a gaunt, almost skeletal figure, with hollow cheeks, ashy skin, and a mouth full of wicked-looking fangs. And the difficulties with speech created by her deformed mouth are only compounded by the fact that she is also completely deaf. Because of this, her primary method of communicating is with a slate and chalk, though she can read the lips of people speaking to her. She is wantonly destructive, although not usually violent toward people - after all, she wishes all to behold the glory of the Great Old Ones at their return. She is in Prison #14 after a string of destruction of property and arson charges, as well as the murders of several guards who attempted to stop her during the fit of madness that led to the destructive acts.
