Her days were filled with lavish gatherings of courtiers in homes that were so expansive she would become tired before she could run from one end to the other. All of this tumult kept her pleasantly unaware of one strange fact: that Lord Thrundsen was not her father. The truth of what could have been a potentially disastrous secret was instead common knowledge among the circle of aristocrats she was surrounded by all her life.<br/><br/>Each one the Countess' close companions was a member of a revivalist cult led by Sofia herself who believed strongly in the Old Ways. They worshipped the polytheistic pantheon of Norse Gods regularly with the same fervour of western spiritualists, yet to far more corporeal results. It was during one of these rituals that the group believed they summoned something far older who was once worshipped as a god who spanned the gap between life and death. Thrundsen's group beseeched him to lend a modicum of his whimsical magic. This worshipful reverie prevented the onset of the demon's Fading, and so out of amusement he gifted the most devout followers a small measure of power. Mere parlour tricks to a warlock.<br/><br/>Sofia, specifically, was bedded by the demon in the guise of her husband and bore a daughter from the union. The Countess was taught glamour to share with Roslyn. So the girl grew in wealth and happiness 'til she bloomed into a woman. She employed the glamour daily and enjoyed taking part in her mother's rituals. And life was golden until, well... she stopped aging. Although she could imbue her mother and their companions with some minor extension on their lives, it was not permanent, and Roslyn watched as many friends and loved ones shuffled off the mortal coil. The dwindling seclusion made her yearn for more. Ros spent decades living as her daughter, then her granddaughter, and eventually great-granddaughter by the time Norway's aristocracy became irrelevant in lieu of industrialization. She spent much time abroad to explore the world beyond Norway and its denizens.<br/><br/>Eventually, at her ancestral estate, she found the ritual used to summoned her father. The demon appeared and revealed the true nature of he magical prowess, then agreed to take her to Shadow World. Under tutelage in the Spiral Labyrinth Ros learned to harness more magic, however, because her true father was only a middling demon, Ros's abilities gravitated towards more earthly magic than the grandiose spells of warlocks with more potent parentage. In the coming decades she spent much time in the mundane realm visiting the likes of Paris and New York. It was only in the last thirty years that Roslyn decided to make a semi-permanent home in Vancouver. She lives in a<em>boujee</em>loft in the industrial part of the city.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Empathetic | Curious | Learned | Quiet | Eccentric | Intuitive<br/><br/>She is infatuated by the Spiral, mortal culture, and most everything else she's encountered save vampires. Ros has a deep reverence for life and death, so treats the departed with utmost respect. Roslyn is a little impish but can be considered altruistic overall, if a bit reclusive.<br/><br/><strong>General Powers:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc">Immortal with caveats. </li><li type="disc">The usual suspects: heightened senses, wards, portals, glamour.</li><li type="disc">Dark magic (necromancy, etc).</li><li type="disc">Nature magic.</li></ul><strong>Special Abilities:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Nature's Bounty</span> - Ros has immense knowledge of the natural world, giving domain over certain flora and fauna. And where there is life... there is also death.<br/></li><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">The Blood is Life</span> - Blood is a primal element that may join together two souls as well as drain or otherwise manipulate a body using life energy as the catalyst. Of particular use is transferring energy from one source to another. Depending on the state of the person affected, this can fall under necromancy, such as utilizing thralls or communing with the dead.<br/></li><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Sweet Dreams are Made of This</span> - Roslyn can dream walk to look into others minds or project her thoughts. Can be used like a psychic face-time call too, whether the recipient is conscious or not.<br/></li><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Divination</span> - Typically scrying in reflective surfaces to discover hidden knowledge (finding objects or people) and glean the near future.</li></ul><strong>Equipment:</strong>N/A<br/><br/><strong>Limitations/Weaknesses:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Bad Juju</span> - Warlocks are known to heal more quickly as a side effect of their demonic blood. However, while more resilient than a mundane, Roslyn's healing is significantly impaired due to the nature of her sire. Lacking a fresh life source to draw from, she needs the help of another Warlock to prevent dying of serious injuries.<br/></li><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Exhausted</span> - Mishandled Necromantic magic is not only dangerous for the subject but the caster as well, and even a seasoned practitioner must still be careful. Sometimes this magic requires a sacrifice from the caster, such as drops of blood or their full concentration while being rapidly depleted of energy. Certain spells leave Roslyn weak and vulnerable with lots of R&amp;R needed to feel herself again.<br/></li><li type="disc"><span class="bbc_u">Bite-y Bastards</span> - Has a general dislike for vampires and would be hard pressed to work with one. Every vampire she's met has either been a wanton caricature of her aristocratic past or a sadistic animal, leaving all encounters with a sour taste in her mouth.</li></ul><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong>Check my O/O's (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=223576.msg10980047#msg10980047).
