Elenore<br/>https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1252046<br/><br/>-----------------------------<br/><br/>Description:  Elenore is trim, with a figure that has skipped a few meals too many to get thicker than lithe.  Her blue eyes don't miss a trick.  Her black hair is cut short to her scalp, and often under a hood.  She's on the pale side of tan, though her flesh is often hidden under robes of one sort or another.  Her go to garments are rather mundane drab robes that a member of House Venturo would not be caught dead wearing.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body"> <br/>Elenore was born into House Venturo, an Imperial House known as much for its silver tongues as the steel of its blades when diplomacy failed.   Not the most social of children, and the third daughter in a line of five children, she wasn't particularly likely to go too far.  In the end, she was left in charge of resolving disputes in a port town.  The small fort that had been converted into a manor after the Empire expanded further out from this relatively minor port wasn't really large enough for hosting parties, but it did have one convenient feature.  It had a connection to the city's catacombs, and Elenore was bored enough to give them a search on more than one occasion.<br/><br/>She found a book written in a language that made no sense to her, and she secreted it away.<br/><br/>Given her relative isolation and small staff, it was easy enough to study the book at night.<br/><br/>She couldn't read the language, but the annotations were in a dialect of common.  <br/><br/>Once she harvested all she could from the tomb, she explored the catacombs again.  And again.  And several times more.<br/><br/>She found more things.<br/><br/>She should have known better than to mess with those things, but curiosity grasped her.  She continued.  Finally, she read a passage from the first book she found in its entirety, and cast her very first spell.   It was just a simple burst of energy that burned out before it even hit the wall across from her, but she could not deny that it was magic.  She began to map the catacombs, until she finally was sure she had picked them clean.<br/><br/>Once her work was concluded and she felt she had harvested all she could, she drafted a letter to petition her Mother for the privilege of going with diplomatic expeditions.<br/><br/>Pleased that her daughter was 'demonstrating a little ambition', Elenore's request was approved.  She was to be sent with an expedition to negotiate on a matter of importance to the Empire.<br/>-Ten year instead of eighteen year question<br/>Fine either way.<br/><br/><br/> - Does your character have any relatives? Are they alive? Childhood friends? If you don't want to be specific, I'll assume I'm free to create personalities/backgrounds for each.<br/>Elenore has five sisters one brother, and one half brother.<br/>Her elder brother and two elder sisters are always in a tossup for who gets to have what.  Elenore has kindly stepped aside, and her two younger sisters are bit too young to be considering seriously taking on any role more important than ceremonial or social affairs (of course, that's never stopped teenage nobles from scheming!)<br/><br/>Her younger half-brother, Alfonso, is the kind of sneaky rat and a bastard child who will do anything to get ahead.  Of course, while he is the youngest one to reach full maturity, he lives with the stigma of honoring his mother's green eyes.<br/><br/>Her mother, Isidora, is the proper leader of the family.  Like it or hate it (and many people who have earned her umbrage hate it), her mood can decide your success or your failure.<br/><br/>Her father is a bit of a disgrace on the social scene due to his wandering eye, but many fear his blade in their backs.  As an enforcer of House Venturo, he has ended lives where warnings and offers have not solved the problem.  Needless to say, fearing him is as popular as gossiping about him.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Questions</div><div class="spoiler_body"> - Does your character have any connections to any organizations?<br/><br/>Elenore has gotten a lot of introductions to different parties due to handling the business in the port city, but her deepest connections outside of her own House are to the remnants of House Tanah.<br/><br/>She has used smugglers in the past.<br/><br/><br/> - What are your hard limits for what happens to your characters? What are your characters kinks?<br/><br/>I basically don't have any, though if I do I'll just politely ask that we get a little skimpy with the details if I'm feeling irked.<br/>Magical sex, experimentation.  She's not really put a lot of thought into sexual affairs, truthfully, but the use of magic during sex would probably start her engine rather nicely.<br/><br/><br/> - What is your character's greatest fears? What will they fight to their last breath to defend?<br/>Elenore;s biggest fear is of the unknown outside of the Empire.  Though she is studious, she ultimately has little practical experience and though her will to explore and discover often overcomes what she calls her 'common sense', she does shudder that she might find something utterly depraved out there.<br/><br/><br/> - What do you see as the story for your characters? Are they on a path of revenge? The classic hero's tale, righting wrongs? <br/>Elenore is out to bring magic back to the world.  While, as of yet, she has not considered that this will lead to conflict (if not war) with the Empire, she's all but turned her back on one of the most important rules of society.</div></div>
