Draise Ash-Bringer | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

- Full Name: Draise Ash-Bringer
- Age: One hundred years old (Thirty in appearance and human years)
- Gender: Female
- Race: Dark Elf / Dunmer
- Birthsign: The Lady (Once-per-day spell: Lady's Favor, a Restoration spell that temporarily increases charisma for minutes)
- Faction: Dark Brotherhood

Appearance

- Black hair, straight, shoulder blade length.
- Eyes completely red, like any Dunmer since Azura's curse.
- Ash-gray skin.
- Slim, athletic build. Long elf ears.
- Fitted armor of hardened black leather with blackened steel plates, molded torso piece with a defined cleavage opening, reinforced neckline, segmented dark steel pauldrons, leather arms with steel reinforcements, and fitted black leather gloves.

Personality

- Mostly stoic. She rarely loses her temper, only when something becomes unnecessarily stressful or a target becomes difficult to hunt.
- Romantic in her own way. She isn't a monster without feelings; love isn't a long-term tool, it's something passionate, raw, and short-lived. Her language isn't "I love you," it's "I'll remember your name after your death, even if I was the blade."
- Agile and flexible. Her body is a weapon in itself, a complement to assassination. Her steps are silent as long as she's in comfortable armor, her fingers are agile and quick. She moves with the grace of a swan—in this case, a dark black one.
- Too proud. A weakness she won't admit. A target becomes nearly untraceable? Help would be useful, but asking for it becomes embarrassing, making her mission even more stressful as she insists on doing everything alone.
- A woman of few words. A double-edged sword. Assassination needs no conversation, no chatter, no unnecessary words. Normal life? It runs on words, the charm of a confident voice. Something Draise can't always pull off naturally.
- Adaptable. Nature demands adaptability, not strength, not intelligence. Friendships can end as soon as they began if they threaten her survival; bonds are cut without hesitation. For her, someone who betrayed her parents, her tribe, sees betrayal as survival. The only ones worthy of her loyalty are Sithis and the Night Mother.
- Distrustful of magic. It's not her greatest strength; it's trainable, but it's a double-edged skill. The most expert can be an unstoppable weapon, and the most inexperienced could burn themselves alive. Why take that risk? With a sword, you easily control where the point ends up.
- Low fertility. Due to her Mer heritage, her body has a lower chance of conceiving a child compared to Men races. She isn't looking to have a child, nor does she want one at the moment. In case it accidentally happens, it's her decision alone whether to keep the pregnancy and render a verdict on whether her offspring is worthy or not. Likewise, she can decide on her own to end her pregnancy with the help of herbs, given her knowledge of them.
- Ambitious. Why settle for what you already have? The Dark Brotherhood's hierarchical tree is a ladder begging to be climbed, bringing her closer to the Night Mother and Sithis.
- Demanding of herself. In her work, failure is unforgivable, a disgrace and humiliation. She trains for hours without rest, muscles ache, her body begs for rest but she denies it. The reward is improving herself, honing her skills, but the cost is felt the next day.
- Ambiguous morality. A contract is a contract, no matter who it is. It's a name that will be slashed by Sithis. But she isn't an assassin in her free time; she doesn't kill outside of contracts, she finds no pleasure in killing for its own sake. It's the closest thing to what could be called morality.

Likes

- Private sacrifices to Sithis, and worship of the Night Mother.
- Maintaining her weapons and armor.
- Meditation.
- Training and perfecting her skills.
- Completing contracts with optional conditions that offer better rewards.

Dislikes

- Arrogant people, those who become unlikeable the moment they open their mouths.
- Adamus Phillida.
- The Nine Divines / The Tribunal / Daedric Princes.
- Being interrupted during her meditation, or worse, in the middle of worshipping Sithis / the Night Mother.
- Mages. It's a pain in the ass evading their spells, or fighting their summoned monsters.

Equipment

- Primary weapon: Ebony Shortsword (dark black)
- Secondary weapon: Ebony Dagger (dark black)
- Tertiary weapon: Ebony Bow (dark black, Ebony arrows)
- Potions: Three Health, two Antivenom, and three Chameleon.
- Poisons: Three Damage Health, three Paralyze for Thirty Seconds, two Damage Magicka. (All applicable to bladed weapons)
- Misc Items: Lockpicks, Septims.

Skills

- Blade: Master. Skilled in handling one-handed and two-handed bladed weapons of any size, as well as their maintenance.
- Magic: Novice. Limited to basic healing spells or targeted Destruction magic. Her failure rate hovers around forty percent.
- Alchemy: Journeyman. Has enough knowledge to create effective basic poisons and healing potions.
- Speechcraft: Apprentice. Possesses enough charm to avoid drawing attention or convince the more susceptible. Occasionally needs assistance from Lady's Favor.
- Marksman: Expert. Expert knowledge of bows and their use, as well as their repair and maintenance.
- Light Armor: Master. Light armor feels like a second skin to her; her steps and movements are never hindered by wearing it. Heavy armor presents a true challenge and physical discomfort.
- Torture: Expert. Draise uses torture expertly, knowing exactly how much pressure to apply to make a victim talk while avoiding accidental death.

Sexuality

Draise Ash-Bringer has a peculiar sexuality. Throughout her life, she has had different lovers—nothing long-term, nothing romantic, always straight to the sex. Some of them were memorable enough that she still remembers their names and their encounters; others are merely vague memories. She experiences a strange sexual satisfaction in inflicting pain on her partners, not in an abusive sense, but in an intimate one. The moment her partners submit to her, allowing her to tie them up and, if they wish, gag them, she begins her sadomasochistic acts. These may include whipping, making slow superficial cuts, scratching the skin, etc. For her, this is a playful torture that promises to leave light marks that will heal over time. A special, non-lethal torture reserved for lovers who are worth it. She also, like any other woman, enjoys ordinary vaginal penetration.
