His unit happened to visit in Nexus after recent anathema kill and he decided blow off some steam. He was leaving from a bar when he was seduced by a most beautiful woman he had everseen in his life; Shizune's mother Dusk, one infamous courtesans in Nexus in her time. Bael and Dusk spends passionate night but not otherwise special (expect Bael's jade coins were dissipated greatly from her services). However three years later a astrologer from Immaculate Order did some astrology for him (a sidereal) and noticed that the patterns in sky showed he had sired a offspring which carries a enormous destiny. As child was born during time of terrestrial comet (a peculiar comet with five different colored tails which breaks and dodges across sky in Yu-Shan between all celestial bodies like moon, sun and maidens and has prismatic golden center). Also child had born in same exact month what ancient records had told the birth of many great sorceress from First Age and present age, so sign that she perhaps may become one strongest sorcerers among dragon-blood.<br/><br/>Cathak Bael then went to search for this child, he had sired more than one child during three years so he checked all details.....but none his one night stands among dragon-bloods had sired child or sired it right time. So only one left to check from long list (took three years go through it) was Dusk. So he headed to Nexus with his brother Cathak Vhalan and they found Dusk had birthed a daughter in date and time which matched! The daughter was six years old but sharp in mind already. Cathak Vhalan used his social charms and sorcery to compel Dusk sell her own daughter in dazed state while holding jade coins while Shizune fought fiercely against her 'captors' because she wanted to be with her mother. When she was brought to house hold of Cathak she was rebel, she skipped classes, caused mischief, bited a scar to Cathak Caina's hand which shows even up today in side of his left hand. Only reason why Shizune was not executed was because she was adorable looking ten year old and Cathak Caina saw her fierce fearless spirit a something what his house will welcome. But still she got beatting of her life from Cathak Caina which she remember to this day as one her most agonizing experiences and only sorcery had repaired her looks afterwards once Cathak Caina was done with her. Same go beatting also put down her rebel streak down quite a lot but she still was bit rebellious and defiant on occasion. But she became one most intelligent students in the school.<br/><br/>Upon age of eleven she exalted, she exalted when she was cornered by bullies in school who were about beat her. Her facing fear of receiving more beatting after Cathak Caina had were about beat her made her face her fear and made herself burn in full blaze of rage which burned her fellow students from her blazing presence (and the wall which against she had been pressed). Many thought a such little rebel would be fit to send to Vermillion Legion for some manners, but instead using his own connections and resources Cathak Bael send Shizune to The Hepthagram, dragon-blood academy of sorcery after age of sixteen upon graduation from first level of education. A academy which House Cathak avoided to send in their brightest members but following esteemed astrologer's advice he send his daughter there. In The Hepthagram the present form of Shizune will be molded and created over many years in there.<br/><br/>When she arrived to The Hepthagram, the first thing she was asked to do was a oath somekind. The new patch of students, numbering only ten at time, chanted oath never tell nor reveal details what happens inside The Hepthagram nor talk about teaching methods nor mentors inside The Hepthagram to anyone else expect those who had taken same oath. Then masters measured students, as before mentors are willing to teach they assign each student to undergo first test of sorcery; Humility. Some students got easy; some mentors assigned them to perform a humiliating act in front of their peers without feeling overwhelming shame to do so. In Cathak Shizune's case tough was harder; she was a rebel spirit and stubborn but otherwise shameless to fault. So mentors assigned her to work as a <em>maid</em> in The Hepthagram until they feel she is ready for mentoring?! Shizune did not take it kindly she was put to laborious work as she thought her intelligence is better spend reading and studying than mobbing floors!<br/><br/>She was assigned to her quarters along with roommate; Cynis Siris, she will become one Shizune's closest friends during her years in The Hepthagram but not enough form oath with her. She taught Shizune that minus education she had her looks and she helped Shizune realize that how much actually control and manipulation she could do to make males around her playthings even when she's under them. Shizune worked her ass off every day in the Hepthagram, clean shelves, clean floors, help cooking. She saw many wonders of magic, passed classes which she tried eavesdrop but a female demon called Tezla was assigned watch over her not spy and learn secretly magic! As she needs finish her test before she does so! She was not very strong.....but thanks from influence of her roommate she learned use her looks and charming words seduce some male students help with lifting stuff....either physically or use magic for it. Demoness Tezla took great amusement from clever way Shizune managed perform her task better thanks fooling around with the students who found Shizune in her maid outfit unresistable sight both to their egos and sexual fantasies. To earn some favors Shizune even performed some 'private' dorm cleaning services.<br/><br/>After a year doing that the mentors found out about her practices and she was called to new briefing with Dominie herself; Ragara Bhagwei. She had heard her practices and she personally disliked them, she told Cathak Shizune was unfit to become sorceress because she cannot complete first test of sorcery at all! But then Shizune made a striking argument which impressed Dominie herself; she said; "What if I had completed my first test through life before arriving to The Hepthagram? The challenges what you give me test humility pales what I had experienced before."<br/><br/>That line reversed Dominie's opinion about Shizune and she gave her blessing to proceed to second test of sorcery; Tutelage. She needed now impress her talents upon to one mentors who wander around in Hepthagram while she studies the basics. After that day Shizune burned her maid outfit, as a symbol of ending her first test. Altough some cases she was disgusted to entertain male students but in end overall it was enjoyable and she had grown accustomed to drink maiden's tea bitter leafs every morning as she had grown habit to seduce men as a game between her and Cynis Siris; the one who scores most after month is one offering and funding party in Blessed Isle during single day what they can spend outside academy campus. Over time it came as personal addiction and game for her to seduce men or women, and find much enjoyment she can from carnal acts and became well renown from said quirk of hers.<br/><br/>After her second test started; it lasted for ten years. She studied how use lore charms and how master her elemental powers. She studied how to do archery thanks Cynis Siris often inviting her to hunt animals and sea birds in Hepthagram rocky beaches out of boredom. She developed charms to help empower her archery skills first, but upon achieving pinnacle of her skills; Glorious Birthright Font she developed secretly her combo despite Hepthagram had strictly ordered do combo creations under surveillance of their mentors....but Shizune was not doing sorcery but studying how use her abilities what she learned so far do them better! Also in way what most sorcerers do not even think to do!<br/><br/>So while she practiced she was observed by one invindual......Tepet Senex, second eldest dragon-blood in Hepthagram. He at first thought personally interfere reckless student but he decided go harsh route; let student fail and get hurt and then come give lecture before stopping her. Shizune was hurt with her experimentation's....but before Tepet Senex could come in she started again practice molding her essence and combine two patterns! Tepet Senex then seeing clearly the patterns recognized what charm combo she is trying to form.....fascinated he let her experiment and see could she pull it off. he himself from strongly military house was fascinated how Shizune combined high class archery charm meant for warfare to combined with lore based elemental attack. Also he was impressed by purity of her blood and how it radiated in her Glorious Birthright Font form. Not to mention stubborn and unyielding nature to give up despite burned up by fire or getting flunked by her own mistake. After a month she finally succeed pull the combo off without messing up the essence and able launch rapid fireball barrage on a intended target with accuracy!<br/><br/>Cheering on the small island rock in coven where she had practiced month and blackened beach rock from wild blasts of elemental bolts, some even molten, then Tepet Senex blurred out from invisibility and made clap and congratulated Cathak Shizune for her achievement....and made plain demand which said; "But now you cease this foolishness and come study under my guidance or I personally kick you from Hepthagram from being such reckless fool!" Shocked, and stunned socially for being invited to study under great master of sorcery Tepet Senex, known also as 'Old Man' by the students in mock for his age. left with little no choice Shizune accepted his tutelage. Upon accepting curious pupil Tepet Senex announced it and also made some personal inquiry about her; learning from sidereal colleague working in Hepthagram he was told the strongly ominous signs in her birth and that even more increased Tepet Senex's curiosity towards Shizune. Fascinated upon by her true potential what her destiny along with good talents would provide to Scarlet Dynasty.<br/><br/>Shizune showed her brilliance of mind and her skill in lore and occult rapidly under Tepet Seneca's care, also overtime they grew a unbreakable bond as apprentice and tutor. To a warm relationship where she often playfully flirted him with witty way or try add some perverted comment, word or gesture in otherwise innocent situation in witty way. Just more than often frustrate her mentor and screaming call her a shameless harlot! But he never meant what he said but it was more a game between them, not that sleeping with Tepet Senex would not had been possible; he was rather virile man for his age and powerful and a match which would be deliciously scandalous.....but she did not do it. She respected him that much that she never did go farther than teasing even if she had capability perhaps wear down his defenses and make him submit to carnal act out of kindness. But that still did not stop her to make her mentor choke on his morning tea when she came to his presence nude and make her laugh her ass about the sight of his expression.<br/><br/>But because of the good and close relationship and the game she played; she earned rival from daughter of Mnemon. From woman called Mnemon Tanya. She had coveted spot to tutor under Tepet Senex, she had done many exams, proofs, lectures and even crafted artifacts....none had impressed Tepet Senex accept her as pupil. Then she sees this Cathak harlot studying with him?! Rapidly the woman who was not renown for beauty like Shizune was but was far from ugly; she was rather attractive woman with humble grace. But the natural female jealousy for other woman's beauty combined with collequal jealousy combined created outright spite towards Shizune! Thinking she has whored herself to Tepet Senex lap to study with him and despite what both Shizune and Tepet Senex himself tried say about the matter; but Tanya had set her mind and did not listen. She had judged and her judgement stick. Shizune gave up to talk to her and let her fume all she want. She would not know those fumes would give birth to a bitter rival for her, as in future years they many times clashed and fought in educational level, Tanya going even so low she tries sabotage her projects to make her discredited in critical eyes of Tepet Senex!<br/><br/>Twenty years pass, and Shizune is already spend thirty one years in Hepthagram, she is now 47 old and had mastered recently how to summon first circle demon in reliable level. During those years she had studied with Tepet Senex but also with a curious mentor known as Dreams, she was a woman who was not anathema but she used charms and spells a much grander power than what terrestrial circle is capable to do! learning from her about existence of Sidereals and teach that one their kind, most powerful of them, had made deal with Scarlet Empress centuries ago. Learning now odd puzzle of mysterious man in history records being a mysterious Sidereal, a celestial exalts who weave and see fates and often predict and twist them to their favor. Shizune learned many curious facts but not yet truth about things; especially regarding lies what first circle demon spew about solars and First Age. But she learned about her special destiny and prophetic signs for it; then she took it as her active goal to reach that potential destiny! As she felt it more admirable goal than just please her house or just earn fortune or so forth. She cared little of politics of Dynasts, being herself near jaded by the antics. Then Tepet Senex gave her a project; she needs create artifact which helps during her third test of sorcery; Journey. Shizune had learned sorcery spell but she has lots things to learn before she is fully accepted and graduate from Hepthagram.<br/><br/>Shizune had idea for Wings of the Raptor, but matter was that she was not skilled enough to craft wings themselves but she could do essence imbuing with aid of magical forge in Hepthagram along with skilled spirit staff. She made sketch of the model and then summoned demon from first circle to craft actual physical shape of the wings with jade what was available. The forge demon worked without rest on project, following Shizune's design and sketch the forge demon crafted wings. Then Shizune herself imbued the item with magic with aid of magical forge and add final details.....then her wings were done! Tepet Sentex was impressed and with his blessing he send off to journey across the world. Learn and study. Shizune learned Riverspeak as part of her travels, as most merchants used that language to trade or talk some small simple things. <br/><br/>Shizune visited Nexus, tried find her mother but she found no traces about Dusk until one local brothel mistress told Dusk had died ten years ago from advanced old age and from long lasted sickness. After that she moved to south where she learned firespeak and had enjoyable time to study local culture and lore of Chiaroscuro, help forget her sorrow about loss of her biological mother without ever seeing her. In there she met with ifrit prince; Fhalash, he became fascinated by Shizune and greatly respected her courage and pure compassionated heart towards commoners of the realms. Top of it all Shizune saved Fhalash from a another sorcerer who tried bind him against his will to perform slaughter to village, Shizune broke the spell and they together defeated the sorcerer. Fhalash, grateful for Shizune then swore life debt for her and became her servant until she dies or he does. Becoming one her most loyal and reliable companion. After twenty more years traveling aboard together with Fhalash she returned to Hepthagram as a world wise woman who had become more skilled and experienced. She was ready for fourth test of sorcery; Fear.<br/><br/>Shizune was sleeping in her chambers when Tepet Senex used magic send her nightmare demon which would force her face her worst fears. If she fails face her fear; the demon will consume her soul. Tepet Senex did not light hearted do this test; as he wanted only forge Shizune become strong as she could ever become with her potential. Shizune worst fear; was failure to meet her own motivation. That the moment of her destiny would come; face a great rival which is danger to Scarlet Dynasty and her being chosen defender! She fights and looses, rival wins and destroys everything value in the world, leaving world rest in ash while she in agony watched world burn to nothing! Leaving her all alone in her misery.....but her valor breaks in when she sees few mortals screaming in pain, in righteous wrath she breaks from fearful stump of self and instead trains, studies and develops tactic defeat the undefeatable rival....and succeeds with her plan which costs her life! Throwing all in to ensure victory and bliss for remaining mortals in the world!<br/><br/>The dream ends and nightmare demon leaves disappointed, Tepet Senex was not sure what she saw but her being alive was sign she had worn off nightmare by being bravest valorous woman alive. So now she had one remaining test left; Sacrifice. This case Shizune did not know what to sacrifice, as all her ideas sounded weak....so she turned to her mentor to choose for her to complete the final ritual which sacrifices something from her....jokingly say not sacrifice her beauty. However this hour while Tepet Senex was thinking while Shizune was off partying with her roommate; Cynis Siris, her father paid visit to Hepthagram to come ask about her progress first time for fifty years. Learning Tepet Senex was her mentor made him proud, also hearing he was thinking for final ritual what to sacrifice.....Shizune's own father, Cathak Bael who had disliked his daughter's rebel spirit and thinking source being remembering her childhood he asked Tepet Senex to wipe out with magic all memories what Shizune had about her precious mother and childhood up to point when she was brought to Cathak house. Tepet Senex agreed and he proceed start ritual soon as Shizune has stopped partying. Shizune came once summoned and ritual was done, with a scream of sorrow and agony she collapsed for coma for a week after the ritual. When she awakened her friends and roommate and her mentor came visit her, then her father came. Carrying medallion which had carved image of Dusk in it, image of Shizune's mother and was item which she had treasured and kept it in her room in Hepthagram. While talking Bael activated his anima with faked enrage, to melt medallion in his hand in front of Shizune.....no emotional response besides towards his father being angry for her for nonsense.<br/><br/>Satisfied Cathak Bael left, thinking the rebel spirit had died along with memories. But after test was done and learning one more spell in Hepthagram Shizune graduated and came back from Hepthagram....and she was rebel as before! Shizune's father was shocked to this discovery but Tepet Senex knew it; despite erased memories which Shizune cannot never recover, her nature has been more forged in by her life experiences in her childhood as a Dynast and in Hepthagram, being a rebel is core of her soul and so only way erase it is by erasing her soul. <br/><br/>After graduation she moved and registered as sorceress in royal Magister and also went made oath to Scarlet Empress which was law pressured requirement from her to perform one favor, anykind, favor towards Scarlet Empress. A favor which Scarlet Empress never asked from Shizune before she disappeared in far future. After this Shizune worked as negotiator for House Cathak in deals, using her natural charms and sorcery to win negotiations for house favor. One peculiar case she went to Nexus to meet Guild Merchant who had discovered century find on red jade. Opposite her was a representative from Lookshy who had difficulty to get past three appointment makers who made him go circles and anyone who tried bother their master from his free time activities. Shizune learned he enjoyed eat dinner in restaurant where naked women worked as offering tables....she sneaked in and bribed restaurant owner for let her be said merchant's dinner table! With no shame with her looks she then talked merchant accept deal with Cathak House in favored terms and won the deal. However with one request; to invite Lookshy general to the party so she can meet him. She had fascination to Lookshy and their dragon-bloods, hearing general was fire aspect. The general was known as Captain Velan.<br/><br/>In the party Captain Velan was gloomy and present, resenting Shizune with verbal hostility and aggressive avoidance for her company. She was charming, polite and patient. But in end her strongest asset; seduction won Captain Velan over into high arousal for her company along playful threat her being honey pot; a military term for women who sexual skills milked information from enemy soldiers. Highly aroused and being interupted by the same lackeys who had spinned him around for months made him enraged run to woods to calm down, Shizune's reply to such interuption was point blank range fired elemental bolt blast to scorch lackeys clothes and burn off their shoes. While radiating in her full power of Glorious Birthright Font she met Captain Velan in more privacy and upon hearing fate of lackeys broke final ice between Shizune and Captain Velan. They had wild passionate night which nearly set guild merchant's garden on fire she departed in dawn to return to her assigned Legion where she served as their sorceress in artillery support sense.<br/><br/>Shizune worked as negotiator but she kept close taps and often went visit her mentor in Hepthagram and do some errands for him gladly. Her life continued as usual for thirty five years until Scarlet Empress disappeared. Then she was stationed (and bored) in house Cathak for five more years until Tepet Senex summoned her back to Hepthagram. He gave her a task to go to Nexus meet a woman who was survivor from Thorns, her master wanted know how or why she had survived and learn any further details in events in there. Also advicing her remain peaceful all times with her. She went Nexus, after asking around little with aid of Fhalash they find the woman; Shimmering Lodestar. However Shizune during interview soon discovers that Shimmering Lodestar is a anathema! One the so called Deceivers! However Shizune kept master's advice in mind to remain peaceful all times, as result she heard from her mouth tales of first age and about dragon-blood usurpation and that sidereals had been behind backing dragon-blood to perform the usurpation somereason! Shizune had always suspected there was more to tales of the old and she was quite shocked in fact the direct details! However she kept her mind steeled for anathema manipulation while she held her interview, however even her steeled mind could not block how charming and graceful Shimmering Lodestar was, in other setting Shizune could had come fast friends with her. After learning more about solars through Shimmering Lodestar through peaceful terms she returned to Hepthagram and gave her report to her master (but did not tell Shimmering Lodestar was a anathema) and then had nice long talk with Dreams, the sidereal mentor there. Shizune told her suspicions and doubts and words what Shimmering Lodestar said. Then Dreams spill the truth out; that it was all true. Solars had once ruled the world and them being anathema, a demonic possessed people is a lie created by Sidereal created order; Immaculate Order. Also Shizune learned Dreams was actually part of faction known as Gold Faction, which focused sponsor and help solars. Dreams told that once long time ago dragon-bloods were loyal servants of solars, trusted companions altough lesser in status to their peers but still considered valuable allies.<br/><br/>Shizune, after long and deep consideration after upon said discoveries, starting feel guilt and shame from her ancestors deeds. As despite whatever reason for usurpation was; it was not worth to stain centuries service with such cold hearted betrayal! Then Cyris Siris, her bestfriend from Hepthagram, came meet her and they while enjoying tea she told she had been chosen to Wyld Hunt! To Nexus! She heard details that they had send some scout investigate invindual in Nexus and confirmed report with spies; that there was anathema in Nexus called as Shimmering Lodestar! Realizing that she had been played as fool for someone's game, not sure was master forced send her or tell her report or someone who had asked him do inquiry did double confirm it! But either way she made in spot decision which would change her life forever....she picked up Fhalash and her elemental minions and she flew from Hepthagram and aim warn Shimmering Lodestar from Wyld Hunt! Become traitor of her own kind to repent sins of her ancestors! She knew Wyld Hunt will be assembled quickly what Cyris Siris had told....so she had not much time.<br/><br/>So using her summoned elementals and favor from contacts she delayed the travel of Wyld Hunt, reaching Nexus before the hunt she told everything to Shimmering Lodestar. They knew neither can match Wyld Hunt so they ran to south; in nexus has arrived tales and rumors of growing solar circle in south in Chiaroscuro. Despite aid of Fhalash and speedy departure, Wyld Hunt was on their heels and Shizune then made direct confrontation with the group. With aid of sorcery and elemental ally she succeed halt Wyld Hunt's advance and buy herself and Shimmering Lodestar time to reach Chiaroscuro and there join the circle and Shizune herself swear the ancient Dragon-Blood loyalty oath, blessed by Shimmering Lodestar as heaven bound contract.<br/></div></div><hr/><strong>Bonus Point Spends: 18/18</strong><br/>Increase Ability - Lore (1 dot, -1pt), Awareness (1 dot, -1pt)<br/>Increase Willpower (3 dots, -5pts)<br/>Increase Virtues - Compassion (1 dot, -1pts), Conviction (1 dot, -1pts), Temperance (1 dot, -1pt)<br/>Increase Artifacts (1 dot, -2pts)<br/>Increase Breeding (2 dots, -4pts)<br/>Increase Destiny (2 dots, -4pts)<br/><br/><strong>XP Spends: 50/45</strong><br/>Increase essence from 2 dots to 3 dots - 20 XP<br/>Purchase 2 charms (favored) - 20 XP<br/>Create Combo - Elemental Barrage - 5 XP
