"People ask me 'Why?'. I ask them 'Why Not?'."
Name :
Mariska (No last name given)
Gender :
Female
Age :
Appears to be somewhere around 25.
Race / Species :
Undefined. She never removes her helmet and cloak, and dodges questions about herself.
Birthday :
Unknown
Birthplace :
Unknown. Will avoid the question if asked.
Residence :
None
Occupation :
Freelance magic-user.
Criminal Record :
Extensive, since she tends to cause trouble wherever she goes. The actual charges commonly involve the harassment of town guards, and resisting subsequent arrest. It's also worth noting that several groups have declared witch-hunts on her account in the past.
Talents And Skills :
- Naturally, she has the gift of magic, and is an accomplished sorceress.
- Is a very fast runner. Helpful for when she can't simply teleport to safety.
Common Magical Powers :
- Teleportation over short distances; often used for sudden entrances/exits, escaping from undesirable situations, or just to play jokes on unsuspecting people.
Attire :
- A large, heavy, forest-green cloak-and-hood. Small, jester-like bells are attached to various edges; she seems to like the little noise they make.
- A metallic helmet/mask is worn underneath the hood. Completely enclosed and face-covering; only Mariska's eyes are visible.
- Modest plate-armor covers her torso, arms and legs underneath the cloak. Thin, flexible material and minimal weight prevents interference with most magical powers.
Personality - Positives :
- Almost perpetually cheerful.
- A good (if rather perverted) sense of humor, usually being the one to provide comic-relief.
- Very outgoing, mischievous and playful.
- Enjoys making new friends. (Keeping them is another story...)
Personality - Negatives :
- Often acts childish, and is very irresponsible.
- Shows little-to-no respect for others.
- Acts shamelessly perverted towards both genders; especially towards any companions she travels with.
- Is a magnet for trouble; her penchant for creating mischief often complicates matters further.
- Dislikes elves, relating to an incident where she was chased relentlessly by a clan of angry wood-elves (long story).
- Possesses a questionable interest in daemonic creatures, prophecies of doom, and the power of darkness and evil in general.
- Can be incredibly sadistic and ruthless when she wants to be.
- A dirty coward; she would rather run away than fight directly, and will quickly pin the blame on others if caught doing something she shouldn't.
- Above all else, Mariska is motivated by the desire for entertainment and personal gain. If she wants to do something, she'll do it: Grand theft, tampering with eldritch magic, betraying her 'friends' to die - Consequences be damned.
- Speaking of personal gain, she does not like being denied what she wants.
Hobbies / Pastimes :
- Seems to be an avid reader and historian, though this is probably just another part of her aforementioned fascination with 'ancient evils' and suchlike.
Background :
Minimal, aside from various "noodle incidents" that crop up as throwaway gags. This ambiguity is intended; underlining Mariska's enigmatic personality and her place as a secondary-ish character. Important Pasts are for Important People, after all.
