Her father, lord Malchior Noctis Liddell was a powerful noble and court mage in one of the most powerful kingdoms in *insert world/setting name here.* His first, and only daughter, Alice was raised from day one to believe that she was better then everybody else and that she was entitled to rule over the massed. Pampered, spoiled and overindulged in the extreme, whatever she wanted, she got, and much to her father's pleasures she proved to excell in her studies. A naturally curious child, she was always wanting to know how things worked and things in the world where the way they are. So she often researched, but also tended to...experiment...on small animals. Alice's behavior as a small child was....sometimes troubeling to her family, to say the least. Initally our of curosity, she would take small animals found her family's palace whether it be mice or birds or whatever other creature was unlucky enough to stumble in and torture them, often in gruesome ways. She would claim it was because she wanted to know what would happen if she did x thing to the animal, and due to her very young age and lack of understanding her father, while somewhat troubled, decided that it was just a case of her curosity being misplaced. Deciding she needed a better outlet for her intelligent mind Malchior decided to start teaching magic. He started by teaching her the fundementals himself, training her the massive arcane labratory within his demiplane.... but as he grew more involved in the nation's politics and extraplanar affairs it became apparent he needed she needed a teacher that could work with her full time. Thus, he sent her off to the world's most prestigous wizarding acadamy, trying to enroll her well before she reached the age at which students where usually allowing to enter the school, using both his influence as a powerful wizard and noble as well as her test results, which had proved on paper what he knew for a long time...that his daughter was a once in a lifetime child prodegy. This, combind with the significant influence Malchior had as a powerful noble lead to Alice being the youngest student ever to be admited to the academy, and she took like a fish to water when she began to study wizardry. However, while her studies kept her busy, they didn't rid her of her darker qualites as her father had hoped, but rather enhanced them. While skilled with them, Alice was quite...bored...by the typical paths of wizardry. While most students where conent in their lessons and did things like hang out and play games in their spair time Alice had a deep intrest in...darker lore. The school had a very low opinion of the "dark arts" and made things like fiend binding and espcially Necromancy out to be taboo, dangerous and magics that no budding spellcaster should pursue. This only proved to make Alice more interested in such magics. Curious as to "why" the school was saying such things where so bad, Alice sought out such lore while other students where relaxing. Using the cuteness that came with her young age, skill with words and natural charm she would often "sit in" on the study sessions of faculty and others that where allowed into the "adults only" section of the library. She would talk with them, get frendly with them and eventually became good friends with a paticular faculty member, Professor Charles Lutwidge. Charles Lutwidge was the school's leading expert on Necromancy, and as a result was mistrusted and disliked among his colleuges. He was deeply passionate about his specalized branch of magic and as a result the rest of the school saw him as...well...weird. In Alice, however, he had somebody who actually gave him the time of day. Somebody who liked talking with him, and whom he liked talking to. Alice, too, found his morbid sense of humor, dry wit, deep intrest in forbidden lore and the lovely, sometimes crazy stories and poems he wrote to be very entertaining. The two of them formed a close bond that you could call a friendship, though a deeply unusual one due to the age difference between the professor and Alice. Alice used this friendship as a means to an ends. Getting her hand on all kinds of necromantic lore courtesy of Charles was easy. He let her borrow all the forbidden books of dark lore in his name, all she had to do to check them out was claim that she was getting the books to deliever to the professor of necromancy and they let her pass. She filled her spellbook with all kinds of dark lore. Toyed, experimented, and became deeply wrapped up in the dark arts....and then, it all ended. The school had become....uneasy..about the connection between Charles and Alice, and came to believe that the relationship was one that was much more..depraved...then it actually was. The school banned Alice from speaking to Professor Charles Lutwidge, and he was promptly investigated. While they found no eveidence of the crimes they thought he was committing, they did find eveidence of others. Professor Lutwidge was in fact behind several missing students cases that happened a while back....the missing students found as vile, pulsating undead abominations floating in vats of sickly green liquid in Professor Lutwidge's private quarters. Even further, said hidden lab was full of notes...on a disease...a terryfying "biological weapon" that could spread like a disease turn masses of people into horrific undead monstrosities...when it was complete. Thankfully, it was not completed, and Professor Lutwidge was stripped of his position at the school and to be sent off to be charged for crimes in his own kingdom. which happened to be the same one Alice was from. On the day that Professor Lutwidge was to be sent away to be tried, Alice got a message that her father was comming to see her with important news. Shocked, but intrigued, Alice met her father. He immedatly told her to get her things and leave with him, which she promptly did, but she questions his seirous and harsh mood. When they left the school, they didn't return home. Rather, they returned to....her father's demiplane, where she was surpised to see ex-professor Charles Lutwidge also waiting. He was scared stiff, and when Alice asked why he was here Malchior simply said "he has one last lesson to teach you" and with that he cast pointed his finger right at the professor and he dropped dead right before Alice's eyes, his body rotting at a rapid pace and transforming into a terrifying zombie. Malchior then turned to Alice and said "That, my daughter, was a spell called finger of death. It's considered one of the most powerful and dangerous spells a necromancer can learn. If you want to survive to learn it, you will do exactly what Mr Lutwidge didn't...be careful." Then Malchior told Alice the truth. He was himself, a specalist in the school of necromancy, but unlike Mr. Lutwidge hid his involvement with the dark arts. He claimed that he came to the study of the art out of curosity, but realized that it's applications could be helpful to his kingdom. He said that he, as the kingdom's foremost necromancer was doing things that the kingdom could not do in the open to forward the sovrigen's influence. Charles Lutwidge, he claimed, was a former student, and he was helping him desgine the aformentioned disease weapon to be used by their kingdom as a weapon of mass destruction to use against their enemies. He said, however, that Charles Lutwidge was not careful enough...he did not hide his activities well...he was, as Malchior said, smart, but a moron at the same time....but in Alice he saw qualites he lacked. He praised Alice's brillance in courting him for his secrects and befriending professors....and how despite her connection to him she was able to get the entire school to think she was a sweet, innocent little thing being taken advantage of by the professor rather then an acomplice to his deeds. He said she had what it took to, be like him, a shadow agent of the kingdom, doing the dark deeds that the more wholesome elements of the kingdom didn't have the stomach to do but none the less needed to be done. He then told her that the kingdom needed more people like her to gain and solidify power around the larger world, and to that end Malchior had decided now was the time for Alice to do what her father had always planned for her to do. Malchior told Alice that, as an adventurer she could pursue power and gain dark knowladge that could not be had in the acadamy or the courts of the kingdom. She could acssess dark tomes and find vile secrects no respectful person would dare touch in the dank, dark dungons of evil cuts and vile monsters. She could be both Malchior's hand, and the hand of her kingdom in the larger world, and Malchior stated outright that the King had told him he had an intrest in gaining more dark lore and black magic to use against enemies in secrect. As a result, Malchior asked Alice if she wanted to pursue the life of adventure, seeking out dark lore in dangrous places, gaining power and influence and defending her king, or go back to the acadamy where she could continue her life of being told what she can and can't study. Alice without hesitation chose the former, and with a generous purse as well as basic supplies provided by her father she set out into the larger world in the name of king, country and necromancy. Adventure League Legality: Alice is actually Adventures League legal provided she is a member of either the Lord's Alliance or Zhentarim. From a fluff standpoint the Lord's Alliance is likely the best fit, though you can choose either-or if you wish to play her. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Characters to Come: Human Death Domain Cleric of Takahsis (Noble)Dragonborn Oathbreaker Paladin (Acolyte)Dragonborn Great Old One Pact Warlock (Sage)Half-Elf Evoker Wizard (Soldier)Human War Domain Cleric of Bahamut (Noble) </blockquote>
