Lady Shadow

By:

Lady Shadow is/was of Nobility until DARK times entered her life.

Special Equipment:

A Dagger with a Triskele for the handle. Naturally her fanged teeth. Also, an heirloom, a small charm, with her family crest that she wears around her neck.

Appearance:

Very beautiful. She has long, blonde hair, Emerald Green eyes. She is about 5’8” and weighs 150 lbs. She wears nothing but black most of the time, unless she is in hiding.

Background:

Lady Shadow was formerly named Victoria Shroud. She is of noble birth. Her family disowned her when she befriended a witch and was taught the ancient ways of Wicca. She stayed with the secret coven until she became a High Priestess and then she moved on…Met a Vampyre unknowingly at first and fell in love. Orion surprised her one night when he came into her room and bit her neck. She was too in shock at the time to scream out, but went limp as he turned her as a Vampyre and now are married. Orion’s Master, Jakar, knew of Lady Shadow’s uniqueness and wanted her to join their clan of Vampyres….

Roleplaying Notes:

She is flexible and can probably go into just about any plot. She will know many spells and is also a healer if need be.

Man-Eating Grapes!

Murometz

A wild species, vinus homophagus, more akin to sea-grape rather than the terrestrial variety, is not a monster despite its fanciful name. The grapes, a deep purple color when in bloom, and oozing dewdrops of perspiration, like the most prized and delectable of drinking wine grapes, do however deserve their moniker. Wine made from this fruit, is deadly to most humanoids, as is the raw berry, if plucked and eaten from the vine. It is the unnatural chemical concoction found within the fruit’s tart skin, which gives the man-eating grape its name. The chemical stew found inside each berry, functions as a necrotic agent, the same as found in some species of venomous snakes. The grapes literally eat the victim from the inside out, via cell death, dissolving organs and flesh in quick succession.

The tribes of Pra-Oohk Crater, from the jungles of Ghlush are known to sell the fermented “wine” of this grape to merchants of distant lands. Sadly, the taste of the concoction is divine when first quaffed, and even worse, the man-eating grape wine will never detect as poisonous via mundane means, its horrid natures somehow masking all attempts. Luckily the man-eating grapes are extremely rare, and endemic to humid jungles.

I know that Wicca is a real religion, but what exactly IS Wicca?
And what is a Triskele?

Wicca is (or more accurately based on) the pagan worship found in Europe (with an emphasis on the traditions of the British Isles) in the Dark Ages. This worship was found in the Celts, the Picts, The people of Gaul, The Isles, and regions of Spain. The Catholic church tried to stamp out the faith by taking over its holidays and making the symbology for the Devil the same as the Horned God the Wicca worshipped. The wicca faith was revivied in the early 60s by those who felt they were reborn priests.

I still don't understand what Wicca is.

Wicca is the religion of the ancient Celtic peoples. It is a form of nature worship, centering around the Mother Earth and the Horned God, and the cycle of the year. It is... oh heck.. here.... read it yourself- it is fairly short.

I am kind of curious as how I am to start out with wicca. See, I am talking with a couple of girls at school that are into it and I know it cost to do a lot of it. You could call me the open minded penny pincher.

What motivated her to befriend a witch against the will of her family. She was on noble birth so she had it good. She gave it up to become a Goth? If Wicca was enough of a value to her to give up her family then why did she quit when she became the High Priestess? This character is flat-lined. I underatand that you said it happened but we know nothing about who this character really is. You might as well as just given her birthdate and said she ate cheese from the age of four to sixteen and then changed her mind at ate cake from then on. Pretty hollow.

Sorry, first time here and I haven't gone into making a name yet. Heck, I just now found the rating button.

what the... it is possible to rate anonymously? That feature should be disabled.

What does it matter? The comments made sense. I thought we were trying to make these into usable NPCs. To do so you must know a little bit about what they think and why.

Well, as for the character, she needs some serious re-working to be consideredat least marginally interesting.
