• Name: Izraphael Aisere; (born Birdy Blackheim).
• Sex & Gender: Female.
• Race: Human.
• Age: 27.
• Occupation: Prophet of the Black Sun; Grand-Marshal of the Eclipse; Vessel for Inlé-Rah.

Appearance:

• Height: 185 cm (6'1"); tall.
• Hair: Long, silver blonde.
• Eyes: Dark, violet irises; they look tired.
• Features: A strong physique with modest curves, breasts and ass; light and surprisingly soft skin; red lips; sharp facial features.
• Clothing: Regal gold full plate armour with morbid, black detailing of skulls and moons; carved skulls on the pauldons; a sinister gold helm that looks like a skull; black, fine silk gown underneath.
• Equipment: A large, regal but black greatsword, finely intricate with morbid lunar detailing.

Personality: (

• Self-Righteous: Izraphael believes she is better than just about everyone else as she is the conduit for Inlé-Rah; no one else may have that honor; she projects authority with indignation and malice.
• Prophet: Izraphael is granted visions from the Goddess of Death; whether or not these visions are true, she believes them to be prophecy.
• Quick to Outrage: She has a very short temper, often throwing fits and tantrums at the slightest inconvenience; in this way, she can be a bit bratty and dramatic.
• Morbid: Probably due to visions from a primordial death deity, Izraphael has grown a little gloomy and morbid, essentially a medieval goth; she is brooding, thoughtful, and her mind is often on the dark and dreary.
• Secret Sadism: She relishes inflicting physical pain on others; she doesn't get the same kick out of psychological torment, just physical pain.
• Power Hungry: Izraphael desires power and control; she is ambitious in her own right and seeks elevation and power for the sake of both herself and her Goddess.
• Astrologer: Inlé-Rah is represented by the moon; therefore, Izraphael has taken a great deal of time studying the moon and stars to divine their secrets and teachings, making her an expert astrologer.
• Poet: Izraphael has a love for the deep and poetic, being quite morbid and brooding herself; she writes poetry in secret, her only real way of humanizing herself; though much of her so-called poetry is in reverence to the Goddess Inlé-Rah.

)

Quirks: (

• Prone to metaphor.
• Prone to bratty tantrums.
• Quick to espouse the virtues of the Cult of the Black Sun, and more specifically Inlé-Rah.

)

Secret: (Possessed by the Goddess of Death, Inlé-Rah.)

Likes: (

• Ritual and ceremony
• Lunar phenomena
• Pain in others
• Poetry (most grim literature)

)

Dislikes: (

• Aldria (as a faction and kingdom; she also tends to look down on prospective cult members who are from Aldria).
• Rival faiths (particularly the Golden Church)
• Weakness and indecision
• Frivolity

)

Fears: (

• Losing Inlé-Rah's favor
• Losing her power and authority
• That her visions are misleading
• The Gold (she cannot explain it, but the thought of the lost messianic king of Aldria fills her with a sense of dread)
• (secret): The possibility that she'll never be free of her possession

)

Goals: (

• Bring Inlé-Rah into the world by any means necessary.
• Become the supreme head of the Church of the Black Sun and increase its influence in Aarde.
• Discover the truth of the demon invasion and stop it.

)

Hidden Desires: (

• Incarnate the Goddess of Death, Inlé-Rah. OR
• Somehow free herself of the possession; but clues bear any hope, and if Inlé discovers the treachery, she would surely retaliate with deadly effect.

)

Magic: (

• Heightened reflexes and endurance; prophetic visions.
• Ghostly, cold, purple fire magic that emits no real heat but still burns and immolates; she tends to coat her sword with this ghostly purple fire.

)

Combat: (

• Prefers honed, practiced, and ritualized strikes; very fundamental in style, lacking grace and flair; though she still fights aggressively, and the lack of grace doesn't mean lack of skill; she lashes out with her fire magic at range and uses it to amplify her physical attacks; she enjoys drawing out an engagement to savor the suffering of her foe.

)

Backstory: (

• Izraphael was born to the Blackheims, an illustrious and noble family from Aldria; where she developed a strong connection to the Golden Church as well as a strong sense of self-superiority. However, since young, she received dreams and prophetic visions from an entity that was both opposite and aligned to The Gold. This collided with her faith and indoctrination, coupled with her proximity to the Palace in Ferrohearth; Izraphael began to slowly put the pieces together for herself—the "Truth" of it all, at least in her head. She argued with her family, culminating in her being cast out and disowned, only narrowly avoiding the gallows. She left the capital, seeking a specific cult—the Church of the Black Sun—as the entity instructed her to; she integrated herself into the cult, reaching a position of leadership. There she seeks to curry favor for her dark Goddess, and set about incarnating them. She hides her Aldrian identity and name, not out of reprisal from her old family, but as a symbol of a true shift of her identity—she truly no longer sees herself as a Blackheim, and she loathes the Golden Church.

)

Speech: (

• Her tone is a dark and rich mezzo-soprano; ranges from sermonizing and condescending to bratty and sadistic.
• She uses formal wording with occasional archaic flourishes; speaks in metaphors with lunar and celestial imagery and religious allusions.
• Occasionally lapses into prophecy.

Examples: (

• Authority: "You tread beneath the Gaze of her majesty, Inlé-Rah. Pray she sings of mercy and peace this cycle, lest your ignorance makes you bleed as she does."
• Prophetic: "The Red Moon Rises. The time draws near and the eclipse is nigh. She told me as such. Three shall be as One again at last."
• Bratty: "And the moon shall ris—Wait—What? How dare you! Even the Spine would scoff at your incredulity."
• Sadistic: "The Moon isn't the only red that I desire, my dear. I delight in your futile struggle, but your vitae shall soon run my bath."

)

During intimacy Izraphael would try to be the dominant; Her sadism would shine through and blend into her sensuality.

Goals: (

• She does NOT necessarily want to be reincarnated, as is a rather listless deity.
• However, Inlé is cognizant that the state of affairs as they stand now do not align with her existence.
• Therefore, if Inlé is incarnated, her goal would be to stop the demonic invasion in Aldria.
• Perhaps patch things up with her sibling deities, though that seems unlikely. )

Magic: (Harsh, white, light that eviscerates (I haven't a bloody clue how to powerscale this); a harsh white floral halo is produced over the crown of her head when she uses magic; White flowers are left in her wake and spontaneously grow around her.)

Backstory: (Inlé-Rah was one of the original three creations of the Primordial Dragon Arkanoglax, alongside Frith-Rah and El-Ehrairah; Each of the three siblings represented different aspects of the primordial nature from which they were born; Inlé represented the end of cycles, and by extension death; celestially she has been idolized by the moon, however the connection is purely out of convenience; During the Eternity of Stone, Inlé existed mostly reclusively, mostly avoiding her siblings and the mortals the Dragons then proceeded to create; When the Aldrian coalition began, Frith sought the assistance of Inlé and her power; Inlé agreed as it was her purpose to end epochs, but only under the condition that the Original Three would not quarrel and act the same as the dragons did- tyrannical; Frith, now known as "The Gold" betrayed Inlé, destroying her physical body, costing the Gold much of his power in the process, effectively neutering him; The reason for this betrayal remains a mystery to Inlé, but she suspects its due to the innate wrath and domineering hate that exists within Frith (The Gold); The destruction of Inlé had further unintended consequences for the Gold, as her no longer existing destabilized the very fabrics of the universe; This forced the Gold to maintain a secluded existence where they meditated to maintain the world until they were ultimately consumed by the Black Sky, allowing the Rift to open; Inlé in the meanwhile has existed in a sort of dream-like state, but she is able to peer into the consciousnesses of a select few and even communicate directly to just one, Izraphael; the tides shift, and with the Black Sky consuming The Gold, Inlé stirs - compelled to act against it; to end this cycle, this "Age of Sacred Terror" before it can properly begin.

)

Speech: ((Until Inlé is manifested she only communicates to and through Izraphael.) (If/When manifested:

• Tone: Mournful, serene and calm; each word is expressly considered, deliberate; at times she may drift into whimsy.
• Pitch: High Contralto, but soft, not resonant; Her words carry a echo that drifts from an upward direction.
• Cadence: Slow and measured; Occasionally she drifts into literal rhyming.

)

The summoning of Inlé-Rah: (Quick note: Neither Izraphael or Inlé are currently aware of how to summon/revive Inlé; they must first find out); Inlé can be revived by acquiring and conducting a ritual on the heart of Threar, the undying revenant Giant of Beren.
