Character Overview

Ebon-Ashe appreciates being known as a cynical sadist. Her reputation for torture preceeds herself. Though, she characteristically only does things when it suits her purpose. If she cannot benefit from a situation, she does not do anything about it but rather lets things work out as they would were she not even there. In the case she can benefit from things, she does take action, whether good or bad; though generally, her best interst involves letting others suffer unnecessarily. Because of her selfish personality, others suffer unnecessarily. Combining her apathy with her affinity for torturing those who do get in the way of her latest pursuit and the rumors of her being a sadist bleed true.

Ability

Ebon-Ashe is a master class swordsman, having gotten her start in war early on in life as a mercinary and later worked her way up in Hell's Army. After resigning her post in Hell's Army, she transitioned to the life of an assassin disguised as a harlot, learning to hide pain and death through the pleasantries and lust of men. She picked up an affinity for poisons-- taking a fancy for arsenic and building up an immunity to the toxin. Almost being discovered, she vanished into the underground society living off the money she'd earned in her prior employ. When she resurfaced again, she tried her hand at petty thievery breaking into houses, safes, or anything rumored to hold great treasure.

Ebon-Ashe has no formal training in magic. Though she is an elf and posesses some, underdeveloped magic as inherited by her race she has no knowledge of how to tap into that power and use it.

Physiology

Ebon-Ashe is of average stature. She has a muscular build masked by her slight & lithe appearance and womanly curves. Straight, raven colored hair hangs down to the small of her back. It is kept neatly groomed and, during battle, it is tied back with a leather cord or plaited. Her eyes are normally dark brown (nearly black), though when she is infuriated and bloodlusting, they take on a deep red hue.

She usually wears a black cloak (with a hood), black breeches, black leather boots, and white chemise beneath a red or black corset. Her breeches are suspended by a sturdy belt with a few pouches and sword sheath. Throwing knives are usually hidden beneath the cuffs of her chemise for easy access. Her infamous silver dagger (which is immune to any enchantment due to it being forged in Hades by the devil himself) is always at ready in the sheath at her right side. Agile body, nimble fingers, and quick wit make this beauty a nasty opponent. Beware!

History

Ebon ran away from her farmer parents at age 9 to get a job as an errand boy in the local tavern. Her dad came to get her, but she evaded him by hiding in a passing caravan of mercenaries (mercs) on their way to battle. She was found and spent years in service of the mercs where she picked up a little sword fighting by watching others and practicing on her own.

As she came of age, her fighting skills came in handy when she beat to death one of the semi-elite regulars who was trying to molest her. This event led to the start of her actual training in sword and the "art" of killing. One particular war the mercs had hired themselves out to be a part in an army, later to become Hell's Army which she rose through the ranks in.

She helped bail Satan out once when 11 of his finest lieutenants and one general (13 if you count EA) conspired against Satan to overthrow him-- causing confusion between their ranks by spreading false information and lies, weakening the inner structure of the conspiracy. In the end, Satan rewarded her with a dagger containing the souls of the 12 conspirators and she became general of Hell's Army.

Eventually, EA became tired of the tedium of war and left the ranks of her army. She used her knowledge of death and destruction to become an assassin working mainly out of Bordellos or red moon houses, where men would indulge themselves and drop their guard allowing for an easy kill and even easier disposal. (Women were much easier to kill outside that). It is here she met up with the underground society of thieves. When her cover wore thin, she left public eye for a while, and began to learn the art of theft and poisons and less discrete methods of killing, stealing, and slinking around-- as well as how to cheat at games involving runes and cards without getting caught.

When she resurfaced, Ebon-Ashe was a skilled rogue. Though her greed for plunder ended up with her on the bad side of a powerful wizzard, who cursed her. This curse is the reason for her joining Titan-- being unable to venture far from or harm one carnelianfire.

Presently, she serves Titan as the Archon of Shadows (leader of the thieves). To what extent she serves is unknown, as she still tends to do things more for personal gain rather than the betterment of Titan. However, since she travels frequently to monitor the progress of her schemes and keep tabs on Titan's thieves, she is able to hear pertinent information and pass it on to the proper authorities if she feels it necessary.

Mannerisms

Ebon-Ashe loves to bite off more than she can chew, which sometimes gets her into a bit of trouble-- great profit can only come with great risk and she's not affraid of risk. She will never admit, however, when she is wrong and you will have a difficult time convincing her without the use of brute force.

She loves to threaten people, when they get in her way, but has the tendancy to lose interest in carrying out the threats. If you manage to anger her, she will often be the victim of her own rage and act carelessly. Her rage and her thrill for battle give her an uncanny lust for blood surpassed only by that of a Beserker or Nosferatu.

Also, I feel it prudent to mention Ebon's Prejudice against magic users here. Her prejudice spawns from the curse enacted upon her by a mage as well as her own lack of magical prowess. The only exception to her prejudice is Twist, whom has often used his magic to benefit, rather than punnish her.

Properties of Choice

The silver dagger she always stows away somewhere on her person, for close encounters. The dagger was forged by Hades himself in the fires of Hell. In it, are the former Lieutenants of Hell's Army. Any damage done to the dagger would quite literally unleash Hell. Therefore, the dagger is specially designed to be immune to magic of all natures. While the dager itself is immune to magic, this property does not fully transfer over to the weilder. Instead, it only makes the effects of magic on the wielder slow to a crawl. The only way to destroy the dagger would be to melt it down into something else. Even then, one would risk the release of 12 very angry and blood lusting demons.

Ebon-Ashe has a hellish, black destrier named Argile. His personality is as devilish as hers. Like Ebon, he doesn't enjoy the company of many people and will only allow those he really likes to ride him. He is a brute and tempermental beast, but a trusty steed both on and off the battlefield.

Ebon-Ashe also carries several throwing knives, which are stowed up her sleeves. Her long sword, the scabbard engraved with Elven runes and her sigil, seldom parted from her. She also has a pouch containing several darts, a small blow gun, and vials of toxins with which to dip the darts. A regular steel dagger is also concealed in her boot.

Sociology

In short, Ebon-Ashe hates everyone. Though, there are a few exceptions to this hatred.

Ebon holds a special bond with Twist, a mage who has often used his magic to benefit her. They both enjoy tourmenting others for personal gratification. They both also do things mostly for their own benefit.

Curulan, her husband, is one of the few people who can find ways around her bull-headedness and keep her from disrupting the quiet atmosphere of Titan. This is due in part to his magical prowess and her personal connections with him. He is more powerful than she and she respects that.

Azrael, is probably the only mage Ebon both dispises and loves. She dispises him because he is one of a handful of magic users in Titan who is both powerful enough to attempt to stop her and who has, on occasion, actually squelched her fun. She respects his power, but at the same time enjoys taunting him in hopes that he will reaffirm his power over her.

Tordek, while a magic user, holds a special place in her small circle of friends. He has always been ready to accept and carry out her schemes-- having been successful a vast majority of the time. Considering the risk involved in her various missions, Tordek is either very lucky or very good at what he does. Ebon-Ashe believes it is the latter.

The rest of Titan, Ebon finds to be annoying. Many Titans have resorted to petty threats or jests, which she files away so that one day, if they are ever in a spot of trouble, she will not intervene but engage in furthering their misery. Patience isn't one of Ebon's virtues, but she finds that just vengance can aid her with the long wait before such vengance is brutally extracted.
