Mem and Es (The Toy Taker)
[sblock=Introduction]
The Toy Taker
There are many stories made for children. Some are witty and teach moral lessons while others, with beautiful princesses and magical kingdoms, are best saved till bedtime, when one is tucked in and half asleep, awaiting a way to stay awake.
But there are some stories, though very few of these are left, which are still told and passed down from grandparents to grandchildren to warn us. These stories are always the most interesting. They are the ones that keep your eyes open even when they are heavy. This is one of those stories. It is the story of a girl called Mem.
Mem And The Toy Taker.
[sblock=Into II]
She boasts no sword. But reaches down with two/
Fingers, touches her empty sheath and draws/
I hear the ringing of metal, see the/
Light, but cannot move. Her fingertips
Blush, like the sun, like the moon, like the stars/
She traces a line in the air somehow/
I know it cannot be real, it cannot/
Be true. But I swear I see it/
The treasure of my youth, a simple toy/
You might say. But it would still break my heart/
Taken from my hands, plucked from my breast/

[sblock=Powers]
Again as per Psionics is the same as Magic rule we are using, homebrew that Mem can use her erudite abilites to learn from magic sources (Cog you said you are still brushing up on psionics) otherwise she will have no way to learn new powers.
[sblock=Steelsteal]
Steelsteal
Es does not know this but whenever Es is out of Mem's physical view, Mem steelsteals into Es' Right Rapier hand. Mem commands her not to recall this information. Thus, Mem may cast spells as personal on the rapier, but effects affect Es since Es' rapier is really part of Es' body.
Es does not know this is the case. Es believe her magical gloves and crystal unicorn horn dagger communicate telepathically with her, telling her about traps, enhancing her abilites etc.
When using Steelsteal, Mem keeps her body in a greater stasis cocoon in one of the 900 underground cells of the Citadel, tethered to a 8hd Tether-hound. These special individual underground cells are located 20' below the lowest floor of the Citadel. Each cell is 20 by 20 and with no doors or openings can usually only be reached by teleport or similar means.
The Mem changes cocoons once every 8 hours, teleporting back and forth, using Es's crystal unicorn dagger (psi crystal) as a base for location. 4 hours meditation as Elan for the Tether group of powers. After manifested, another 4 hours of meditation for the powers listed here 1 thru 5.
Thus Mem only allows Es to leave her presence once every 12 hours, and under normal circumstances Es must return home to the Citadel after 8 hours.[/sblock]

[sblock=Mem's Tale]
[sblock=Mem: History]
She was a human once. Or was it twice. Even once seemed so very long ago. Mem had lived so many lives learning.
She remembers her first life, when the world was new and the snow was clean of humans. The earth was truly beautiful and Nature was its Law. She was the first to follow those laws, before even the dragons; then came the Elves, then the dwarves, then the people… so many people. And those people made new laws.
They moved into the beautiful garden she knew as the world. They took it. They changed it. They destroyed it. She died fighting for her home, for her children. She was strong, but there were simply too many of them. She had to abide by new laws.
There is one thing she still lives for, one thing she remembers by day and night, even afore her prayers; she remembers a girl named Ori.
Mem was Ori’s aid, her advisor, her protector, her best. Of the first, now the last, Mem was her mother. Mem watched her grow, watched her fight, watched her lead. In the beginning, her daughter was the second of dragons, and her people, all of nature, fought for their home against the Humans and against their “Law” and their Masters: Greed, Prejudice, Injustice; all who believed only in the “One Law” that “Might made Right”.
Mem listened to her daughter cry, to her pleas, to the news of her loss. The loss of her child, Ori…[/sblock]
[sblock=Personality Mem]
There are laws and they must be followed.
They must be enforced.
The many shall not bully the few.
If “Might makes right” then She will make things right. Those who steal must return. Those who kill must be hunted. Those who abandon the law must be brought to it.
The new man made “One Law” required Mem to adapt her thoughts, her life, her body. But with every generation, each new body weakened her. Now, like the light of a star long dead, she is old and tired. Reluctantly, her beauty remains and her coldness no less tall or terrible; no new body could take these from her. But her towering goddess like appearance, her flawless skin, is merely a slight reflection of the true age within her. She has survived by her faith in the old laws. Even this body should have passed beyond its time, beyond ashes. She prays daily for justice to justify her existence.
Obsessed with form and formality, Mem respects the stronger and instructs the weaker. Reminiscent of the past, She has taken to sculpting, often in her daughter’s image—the purest of white, an older image, that of the first dragon but sometimes in her own image, her original body, the first of magical beasts, the First of Unicorns.
Yet above all these mundane creations is Es. Though some have called this Daughter of Mem a mere toy (or toy taker for those who have had the misfortune of meeting her), even its hair is far and beyond any of Mem’s most painstaking creations. Es’s hair is part of Mem’s daily rituals. Set back meticulously and stone-tight, they reflect the hardness of her ways, in the exact flawless of form Mem demands.[/sblock]
[sblock=Mem: Descriptions]
Like a beautiful towering queen, terrible and silent, Mem’s faith in Her cause remains. She alone follows the order and standard of righteousness sought. Only the ones who had taken her away from them can return her. Human Laws had taken her away. Human Laws would return her. This is her calculated logic. Year after decade after century, this has been Mem’s purpose. She is so close she can touch it. She can see Ori coming back. She must prepare. She must prepare a home.
More than a hundred and fifty generations later, the greatest of all children will arise again. An eternity of training has accustomed her to the vastness of knowledge. She has taken on innumerable forms, countless bodies and faces, all to bide her time. Were there any left who knew of her, they would know the toys she collected from the ends of the earth were all for but a child. Using up lives and experience in a trade for magic or knowledge, knowing that the mystery of the unspoken will soon come to her. Mem’s life is simply that of loyalty, loyalty to Justice that is devotion--untainted by love or the weaker emotions thereof. Obsessed in her daughter, Mem’s life is like her. Elderly and bent, an old thin mask of her former self; bitter, callous, filled with rightfulness and pride, covered by nothing more than the wisp of beauty.
Of a higher calling; her ways unyielding, unforgiving, of one purpose of one thought: Justice. There would be new home for her child. That home would be called “Es”.

[sblock=The Toy Taker's Tale]
[sblock=History Es]
Es does not remember her linage and does not care. And, while her figure has grown far beyond beautiful her emotions have remained indifferent and obstinate to her sole parent. Under her mother’s tutelage, she has excelled in warfare not for love of the art, but due to Mem’s unforgiving requirements to patience and form. Cold, self righteous, and silent, Es seems to simply follow the orders and standards Mem seeks.
Yet a higher calling or perhaps a fear of fear in Es, finds her mother’s ways unyielding and unforgiving. Though Es appears closer to her 17th year, a century of service has accustomed her to the strict high collared military uniforms of ceremony. Like a moving statue of a nymph, to faultless to seem a real, yet with glaring watery grey eyes. She often trains in silence, knowing that the mystery of the unspoken will one day overcome the uncaring, Mem. With a strict upbringing among clergy, Es’ only pastimes are of form and perfection. While her mother clearly favors and listens to her opinions, patiently, night after night, the only truth seems to lie in her mother’s pursuit of justice. [/sblock]
[sblock=Description Es]
Her robe remains unclasped, perfectly neat, perfectly white--like her posture, like her, an image of a girl, hooded, robed utterly white, modestly lowers herself before Mother Mem, most graceful of giantesses.
First to her hands, then, to her knees and finally to the ground, gently laying an empty white sheath before her queen. And like every night, after her prayers, her mother baptizes her. Under her concealing hood, the silver face of an Elvin goddess revealed, her braided hair weighed straight by her mother’s presence and saturation. They both run over her soft delicate form like water. She lowers her hood, looks to her reflection and peers into twin vials of innocent darkness. Once again, she carries her plain, empty white sheath. Wetness trickles from her thin locks like blood, covering her every feature, painting her every part.
And her eyes, though grey, seem to gleam red as water bleeds from her flawless brow, but she forces them open to glare at Mem with abhorrence. And the sweet faced daughter whispers, the adolescence’s voice purrs, like a choir of a thousand ancients.[/sblock]
[sblock=Personality Es]
Es does not know why she is here, nor why she obeys her mother so completely. She merely does. She never eats, never sleeps, never questions. That will all change one day, and Mem will pay dearly. She will break from her mother’s “Laws” and leave them empty. For now it is only a dream. But then there are other dreams, dreams where she is unattractive, repulsive, steeled and grossly distorted from her unblemished self. Dreams where she is ugly, where her arms are thick knots of muscle, all at the shoulders, and her hands hang down to her short bowed legs. Her delicate white arms ending in short, stubby iron fingers, her unspoiled neck gone, and her innocent face large broad flat, inhumanly featureless a cumbersome metal shield binding her. But like the others it is only a delusion, she looks in the mirror, and is her beautiful alluring self once more.[/sblock]
