Message: <blockquote data-quote="silentspace" data-source="post: 1584969" data-attributes="member: 14316">Anya is a human mystic theurge, with a coure familiar and a cleric cohort. Appearance:Anya has dark brown hair, pale, slightly olive-toned skin, and deep, dark brown eyes, and pretty. She is slender and well-proportioned.  If you didn't know better, you would probably think Anya was a pampered young wife, or perhaps mistress, of a wealthy merchant or noble. She appears to be in her very early twenties, though in reality she is a bit older.Personality:Passionate and fiery, Anya has no fear of death. She doesn't want to die, but if the Goddess of Chance determines that her time is up, then so be it. Far from fatalistic, she likes life, and seizes every chance to live it to the fullest. Background:Anya's origins are unknown, even to her. She has an exotic look about her, and people have often wondered where she comes from. Anya grew up in a city orphanage, with no money and no prospects.  Anya has always lived by her wits, and lived well. Anya places her faith firmly in the Goddess of Chance, who she believes has saved her on more than one occasion. Anya learned while young that the old adage 'only the strong survive' is not as true as her personal motto 'only the lucky survive'. So she has put her faith in the Goddess of Chance, and serves her devotedly. Answering a call for help, Anya traveled to a small coastal village that was beset by bugbear raids. Anya joined the village warriors in an expedition to stop the bugbears. The village tracker followed the bugbears to their lair, and the intrepid adventurers went in. Deep underground, they were ambushed. They fought hard, but took many casualties. As the warriors fell one by one, Anya knew there was little hope of survival, and she would rather die than allow herself to be captured. Heavily wounded, she watched the last warrior fall. In a last desperate act, she fireballed the cavern, engulfing herself in the flames as well. With their injuries, she would not survive the fiery inferno, and her casting would be her last action on this plane of existence. But, miraculously, she survived! All the bugbears lay dead around her.Sumi, in gratitude for saving her life, decided to follow Anya, as her advisor, confidante, bodyguard, and close friend.  As clerics of the same Goddess, Anya and Sumi meshed well together.  Soon they were inseperable.  The Goddess was so impressed with Anya's devotion that she sent a Kira, a Coure, to her to serve as Anya's loyal follower, confidante, friend, and familiar.The trio travelled to fight the opponents of freedom and good. A few times, when against particularly difficult challenges, they felt they only prevailed by the Luck of the Goddess. Anya's fame and renown began to grow in the world, as well as her power.Anya and Sumi have been known to seduce men, and whisk them away to another plane of existence she calls Alabel (Rod of Security), a tropical pocket paradise where they play and enjoy themselves for weeks or even months, happy and carefree.But they also work hard. The Goddess appeared to Anya once in a dream, saying "Anya, I help those who help themselves," and Anya has taken those words to heart. She retreats often to Alabel to practice her skills, experiment with spell combinations, train in combat drills, craft items, and perform acts of devotion to the Goddess.As their power has grown, Anya, Sumi and Kira find there are few challenges that require their aid.  As a result, they find themselves with long stretches of time with not much to do.  This is not a problem at all for the pair, as they will spend their time in Alabel for a few weeks or months of carefree fun.  But they never let their training lapse, and are always ready.  As the years have passed, the trio have aged little.  When not in Alabel, they will tour the large cities, catching up on the news and seeing if there are any threats that require their attention.  When a threat presents itself, or the Goddess of Chance requires their action, Anya and Sumi, accompanied by Kira, are ready.  --The three are very defensive in style, but as high level casters have some good offensive power as well.  Anya is a human cleric 3/diviner 3/mystic theurge 15/archmage 4.  Her high arcana are mastery of counterspelling, spell power, mastery of shaping and mastery of elements.  Her epic feats are automatic quicken spell (twice), which allows her to quicken a touch spell (usu. healing or defensive), then while Kira delivers the touch spell, cast another spell or prepare to counterspell.  As a diviner 22/cleric 18, she's got a lot of spells!  Sumi is a cleric 23, with improved spell capacity (twice), allowing her to cast extra spontaneous Mass Heals.</blockquote>
