Discord ID: Cele #3115
Character Name: Sephira
Other Characters: Caelestia Roisin, Rin, Nova, Vittoria
Character Race: Human
Sub-Race: Demi-Human
Alternative Graphic: Pending (to be added later if RP goes that way)
Character Description:
A statuesque figure with skin the color of molasses sugar that looks oh-so-touchable stands before you. Thick dark hair is her crowning glory, and often tumbles freely in waves around her shoulders and to the small of her back. Equally dark brows rest above long lashes that ring eyes the color of bistre flecked with gold.
Kingdom:
Andus or Kraestret
Shard Plot Line:
Sephira is a priestess of Nymeli, a goddess of worldly pleasures. It is by Her will that she was brought to this world to spread Her worship to the people of Sanctuary. Despite appearances, the young woman is trained in both diplomacy and weaponry and would be an asset to whatever kingdom earns her favor.
Special Roleplay Trait:
Persuasion: Sephira has always had the ability to persuade others, whether it was to a cause or belief, or to provide her with something she needed or wanted.
Previous World:
Her previous world was similar in many ways but different in others. Magic was mostly extinct and those who wielded it, outside of the blessings of the various deities, were hunted as abominations. (based on various other UO shards)
Backstory:
The earliest memory she had was of her mother handing her over to the old High Priestess to pay a debt. The Temple dealt in flesh as well as gold and from that moment on she was taught the ways of Nymeli.
Those who would disparage Her name would call Her the Queen of Whores but that was only part of Her purview, a small piece of Her Realm. Over the years, Sephira was educated in many things: languages, mathematics, art, music, religion, deception, and pleasure. She took to her studies with an ease many of the other initiates lacked and thrived. It was obvious she would be an asset to the Temple of Nymeli.
As with most things, nothing ran as smoothly or happily as it appeared to the supplicants who graced the Temple night after night. The High Priestess grew older and weaker and the time would soon come that a successor would be named. It was no secret that Sephira had found favor with the old priestess and so it was no surprise when her presence was requested.
What was surprising was what the Priestess had to say. Sephira would not serve as High Priestess, or even Second, of the Temple of Nymeli. Her path lead somewhere else. Somewhere others would not be able to follow but to prove her commitment and worth she had to take a leap of faith.
When the old Priestess handed her the goblet of wine mixed with a liquid that smelled sickly of sweet almonds, Sephira did not hesitate. If this was what Nymeli required of her then she would not flench from this trial.
As her consciousness began to fade she took comfort that at least she would find succor in the Halls of Abundance soon.
