<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/56/Nyssa.jpg)</div>Nyssa Starfire used to be a fairly average half-elven commoner, with no real adventuring, fighting, or magical talents.  She signed on with Acquisitions Incorporated because it was hiring, and she hoped to hear some interesting stories while handling simple matters like cleaning, delivering letters, and some light bureaucratic work.<br/><br/>Her life changed drastically after being asked to clean out one of an old wizard's studies, specifically the strange black sphere that hovered a few inches above the desk.  Upon touching it, she suddenly vanished, and one of the managers offered the other twenty gold pieces.  "Told you it was a Sphere of Annihilation."<br/><br/>Several days later, Nyssa returned, notably more beautiful, her hair stark white, and suddenly able to perform magic.  She claims that she doesn't remember what happened in the interim, but has a number of skills with armor and weapons that she didn't possess before.  Given her memories, however, it's easy to recognize that she is who she claims to be.  Who'd be crazy enough to claim that they're an old intern from Acquisitions Incorporated?<br/><br/>Granted, sanity is something that one no longer fully ascribes to Nyssa.  She's taken to giggling for no reason, watches people just a little too closely, and has any number of strange and unusual eccentricities that she never possessed before touching the orb.  AI's counseling department insists that she's fine, and that these behaviors are completely normal for adventurers, even though she's never been on one before.  Accordingly, she's recently been assigned on a mission.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Strength 8 Dexterity 14 Constitution 16 Intelligence 10 Wisdom 12 Charisma 16<br/><br/>Half-Elf - Hexblade Warlock - Courtier - Chaotic Good<br/><br/>HP 11/11 AC 18 Wisdom +3 Charisma +5<br/><br/>Athletics +1 Deception +5 Insight +3 Intimidation +5 Perception +3 Persuasion +5<br/><br/>Darkvision, Fey Ancestry, Common Elven +2 Languages, Hexblade's Curse, Hex Warrior<br/><br/>Light and Medium Armor, Weapons, Shields, Calligrapher's Supplies<br/><br/>Cantrips: Eldritch Blast, Prestidigitation<br/><br/>Spells: Charm Person, Hellish Rebuke<br/><br/>Equipment: Patchwork Quarter Plate (same stats and price as Scale Mail but fits what she has in the picture, just missing pieces for full Half Plate) (50gp), Shield (10gp), Fine Clothing (15gp), Calligrapher's Supplies (10gp), Explorer's Pack (10gp), and will trade out the Tinderbox for a Belt Pouch if that's okay.  5gp remaining.<br/><br/>Common Magic Item: Orb of the Void.  This Orb Arcane Focus is completely black and never reflects light, though Nyssa spends far too much time staring into it for it to be truly empty.  As a bonus action, one can store the orb within their shadow, and retrieve it with another bonus action.  If its owner falls unconscious while the orb is within their shadow, the orb reappears upon the owner's shadow.
