She is quite short and lithe, with an enchanting smile punctuated by slightly pronounced canines.

Weight: 150 (in undisguised form)
Appearance: Fade can obviously appear to be whatever it wants. It currently looks like...
[sblock=Extra sblock, just in case]Estelle, as she appeared when she first entered the Necropolis. Fade studied her intently without her knowledge for several days, reading her thoughts and studying her mannerisms so that it could accurately impersonate her.[/sblock]

Roleplaying Notes

Fade's mission is to assassinate Lady Nineveh d'Anovia, which it accepted after becoming <insert mystery character here>. As to why it chose <mystery character>, it was intrigued by her and, not possessing an identity of its own, has chosen to become her, feeling that it can live her life better than she can. It doesn't truly understand concepts like friendship and love, however, though it can certainly fake them well enough.

It intends to use its Elixirs of Love to make one of Lady Nineveh's guards fall in love with her so it can get close to Nineveh at some point during the tournaments.

Fade doesn't know the identity of its current employer and doesn't care. It intends to complete the job and take the promised money to one of the pirate havens in the Djihon Islands, settling into semi-retirement as <mystery character>.[/sblock]

Posting this character in preparation for a bit of a surprise coming up. Note that this character is a "transfer student" from a tabletop campaign and is thus slightly higher level. She'll balance out quickly, however.

Background

Pryzm is an enigma in that she is immune to the Dragon Plague and no one knows why. Her mother attempted to get Pryzm's egg somewhere safe but died en route, crashing through the roof of a tavern. Pryzm hatched prematurely shortly there-after, coming into the care of a group of adventurers. The group sought to unravel the secrets surrounding Pryzm's existence and undertook a long trek to the Awakened Lands.

Pryzm learned much during the journey but is still very much a curious and mischievous child, blissfully ignorant of the horrors the world holds.[/sblock]

This character is a NPC associated with Pryzm, specifically her long-suffering and infinitely patient bodyguard.

Background

Sir William Windwalker is destined to become a special knight, trained in
the ways of the shadow. The Knights of Shadow are an order of holy men who
dedicate their lives to keeping Good people as
seperated from the true darkness of the world as possible. They do this by
placing their own souls and bodies between the innocents and the evil. As
the Shadow stands between light and darkness, so do the
Knights of Shadow.

William has dedicated his life to the eradication of "Evil" after witnessing
many atrocities of war. He has natural Military talents and great Dedication
to become a powerful foe to the enemy... Unknown to him,
he is being watched by the Knights, and someday soon will be enlisted into
the secretive Knights of Shadow.

Personality

Sir Windwalker (William to his peers) is steadfastly dedicated to Good,
whether it be through Acts of kindness, Eradication of Evil, or whatever. He
is a firm believer in 'doing the right thing', even when it's
not always the smart thing. (Though that does not, as some have wrongly
guessed, stem from a lack of intelligence, merely a belief that if it's the
right thing to do, it's probably worth it).

William is not your standard 'stick up the rear' Holy Warrior, and is
dedicated to the Spirit of law and Goodness rather than the specific
innuendo's of it. As a Shadow Knight, he believes in the greater good,
though not to the point of overwriting individual freedoms. There is a very
fine line that must be walked between doing what you think is right for
everyone, and taking away their freedom to decide that
themselves.

The Knights of Shadow believe that by placing themselves closer to the
darkness, they keep everyone else safer, and they do the things that the
really good people shouldn't have to. Sometimes, if the knight is
not pure enough, this can lead to a degradation of character, and some
knights have been known to cross too far into the shadows, loosing
themselves. It's tough to maintain your righteousness when you're
constantly in contact with such vileness, but William's true heart will
shine through.
