Sophia

[Sophia]

Sophia ~The Basic~ Race: Ghost Birthday: Summer 506 A.V. Died: Fall 511 A.V. Gender: Female ~Without a body~ Hardly a trace of the old Kelvic remains in the spirit of Sophia. In life she had been an attractive girl with flowing brown hair and eyes to match the beast within her. Now in death she chooses a form terrifying to look upon. Her hair drips like tar from her pallid skin, her eyes are deep and empty pits, and her mouth extends to far lower than she ever could in life. She wears the same tattered white dress that she died in, holes from the dagger and the blood still upon it. ~Only a Soul~ When Sophia passed away, there had been various stages of thought in her head. She had been three different creatures in one: the child who misunderstood the world, the beast who was driven only by instinct, and the Kelvic that was so adamant to please her bondmate. All of these died with her. In death, her revenge takes form in a cruel spirit who feels joy in the fear of others. She goes to great lengths to instill terror in people, hoping to take back what her killer and bondmate stole from her when she died. ~Her Death and Killer~ Sophia had been born in Sylrias, and would have lived a quiet life there if not for the unfortunate shape her kevlic beast took. A mountain lion rarely had any place in a bustling city, and so the young girl had been forced to stay within her human form. This was constantly the topic of argument between her and her parents, who only wanted to protect her. After one particularly nasty confrontation, Sophia ran off in a fit of rebellion. She ventured beyond the city and was soon taken captive by a band of traveling slavers, on their way to Ravok. Luckily the primal fear she felt when taken by these evil men triggered the beast within, and she made a timely escape. For years she lived in the wilds, surviving as a mountain lion would and only rarely taking human form. She had had no other intelligent contact for so long, it was no wonder that the first human to see her again soon filled the hole her species always felt. This human was Victor Lark, a young man trying his hand at traveling. He was far from experienced in the wilderness, and quickly decided to take advantage of the wild girl's expertise. He felt only for her usefulness, while Sophia became bonded to the cruel man. Often he tried to shape her to what he believed she should aspire to be, but too often Sophia simply disappointed him, remaining the beast and the little girl. One day they had been sparring, and the practice match became heated. Sophia flew into a savage frenzy when Victor cut her rather deeply. In response he drove the blade into her heart, somewhat accidentally, and ended her life there. But his heart was void of any deep emotion, and he found a font of life pouring from the dying girl from which he drank deeply. Sophia died in fear and confusion and anger, all of which were taken from her as a leech takes blood from a body. Far later, she awoke again. She could feel a distinct sadness and hatred for the sunlight and the living things around her and lashed out at them only to find that she could no longer see herself or even disturb the environment around her. But soon she learned to concentrate, and through her willpower she shaped a horrid form to match her broken soul.   Training Death Skills: Materialization:2/100 Soul Mist Projection: 1/100 Life Skills: Hunting: 30/100 (10-Racial, 20-Starting) Wilderness Survival: 14/100 (10-Starting, 2,4 Earned) Unarmed Combat: 8/100 (5-Starting, 3 Earned) Tracking: 6/100 (5-Starting, 1 Earned) Acrobatics: 5/100 (5-Starting) Stealth: 6/100 (5-Starting, 1 Earned) Observation 1/100 (1 Earned) Socialization 3/100 (3 Earned) Tatics 3/100 (3 Earned) Running 2/100 (2 Earned) Storytelling 1/100 (1 Earned) Rhetoric 1/100 (1 Earned)   Inventory What use do the dead have for possessions?   Lore Rising from the Dead The layout of the Everstone Forest (Starter) Sylrian Fauna (Starter) Sylria Wildlands Meeting a Human Basking in the Sun Kelvic Shifting Subservient Instincts Kindling Fire Wanting to please the bondmate Turning tail Giving chase Protecting territory and bondmate Having an empty stomach Irrational fear Thread List Never Give Up Scars Tell the Best Stories Darker than the Water Break the Sky New Black Day
