remaining<br/><br/>Physical Description (~3):<br/><br/>Just like all the others of the Merciful order of the Frozen Glass Monastery, Nyssa does not wear a mask.  Their custom is black robes with a hood, with the edges of her cloak bearing a prayer in Celestial for all those who have fallen, including someday themselves.<br/><br/>Nyssa is exceptionally pale, with white hair, and never seems to tan.  A few bards have claimed that she’s one of the mythical snow elves who live purely in areas of frigid cold where most can’t even dare to tread, except that she has no special resistance to frost and chill beyond hardiness and being accustomed to icy temperatures.<br/><br/>Those who don’t recognize her nature by her clothes might mistake her for a barbarian, given her aptitude for the wilderness, lack of armor, and both a longsword and longbow.<br/><br/>Personality (~3):<br/><br/>Nyssa has a simple acceptance of death and the end of life that more often comes from either faith or necromantic talent.  While most would mourn in tears and heartbreak, she seems more placid and understanding.<br/><br/>However, that doesn’t prevent her from enjoying life for all it has to offer.  Rarity makes something valuable, and she never takes her existence for granted.  Knowing that death is inevitable is like knowing that winter is inevitable, so enjoy summer while you can.<br/><br/>So much of her thoughts and words come from the axioms and words of wisdom written out and read in the monastery during her childhood and training.  She doesn’t always remember who said a quote or the exact wording, but the many lessons were taken to heart.<br/><br/>Background (~5):<br/><br/>Nyssa was dropped off in infancy, nameless, at the Frozen Glass Monastery in the frigid lands of the far north.  The name doesn’t perfectly translate into Common, but the entire monastery is built of magically-reinforced ice that doesn’t seem to warm or leech as much heat as one might expect.  The rooms are often chilly but rarely damaging, and only comfortable if a fire has been lit.<br/><br/>The monastery wasn’t overly different from most, save that the extreme outside temperatures and the icy terrain, teaching the lesson about the precious nature of life in an unforgiving landscape.  Not watching out for others could mean their death.  The struggle to find food and sufficient water during the summer months could be an ordeal, but it meant life.<br/><br/>Although Nyssa took these and other lessons to heart, she was still glad to leave and head for a more livable climate as soon as she could.  The lessons that used to mean simple survival for herself now meant ease in providing food for several others in such plentiful lands, and when terrain had so many more landmarks, it became easy to find her way around.<br/><br/>Other people invariably needed help wherever she went, and she was happy to provide, whether with food, dealing with threats, or simply healing accidental wounds before infection could kick in.<br/><br/>Her combat prowess comes standard as part of the stories told about her, but she takes no joy in killing, and is happy to leave her opponents unconscious for legal judgment when such methods are available.<br/><br/>Sexuality: (~3):<br/><br/>Nyssa is rather inexperienced, tending to keep her energies focused on the life and death of others rather than attempting to create her own progeny.<br/><br/>As some already know, I the player haven’t been feeling much in the way of libido lately, and am not apt to engage her in sexuality at this time.<br/><br/>If this changes, I can certainly talk to people and change this part of the writeup.<br/><br/>--<br/><br/>Game Palette<br/><br/>Story/Smut Ratio: I doubt I’ll be writing much smut right now, but others are free to do what they like.<br/>Combat/Social/Exploration Ratio: I don’t expect Nyssa to be great at social, but understand that others might want it.<br/>Pacing (e.g., Max/Min Post/week): I can easily post several times a week if others can keep up, but I’m patient when others aren’t.<br/>Desired Posting Length: I usually do 2-5 paragraphs or so, whatever fits what I need to do.<br/>Location (e.g., Elliquiy, Discord, Other): No preference<br/>
