PROFESSION || ?

✦ [ Art Gallery ]
]
Mage Profile [
2.png
RACE || Silver Elven
GENDER || Female
AGE || Appears 25 {82}
HEIGHT || Roughly 5'7
WEIGHT || Average
Melarue could be described as lithe, with soft curves, and not much in the way of muscle definition. Her features are somewhat sharp and pointed, making her expressions appear more stern or hawkish, though her mannerisms and the way she holds herself could be described as elegant. She is pale, though it no longer holds the dark veins it once did, and other than her scars it is generally unblemished. Her hair is long, straight, and stark white in colour, reaching just below the base of her back. Smaller elven ears are met with a pair of white horns that fade to dark grey that curve along the sides of her head, etched in teal Infernal runes. Her eyes are a pale blue-grey, littered with silver specks throughout the iris.
[ SCARS & MARKINGS ]
A deep bite scar to her neck at the crook of her left shoulder.
A set of two scars, one either side of the neck, as if an arrow went through...
A thin scar across her left cheek, horizontal and faint.
Her left palm is lined with scars overlapping scars.
A scar to the left of her chest as if from a stab wound.
The extensive Abyssal contract upon her back, restored. [ x ]
A horizontal, deep scar across the upper left arm.
She as a thin neat scar across the right wrist, where her hand was.. re-attached.
Her heart has a soft teal glow, which shows through the skin unless covered.


3.png
LIKES || The Night Sky, Plants, The Unknown, Cats
DISLIKES || Monotony, Jishrim, Zealots, Uncertainty
RELIGION || She is greatly indifferent to the Pantheon in terms of faith.
FEARS || Blindness, Losing Xandar, Aleksei's Judgement
TEMPER || Less common now, but perhaps an extreme when it appears.
Most often a calm exterior, she tends to hold a neutral or impassive outlook in many things. She has become reserved, quiet, with a newfound tendency to lurk in darker parts and hidden corners of the places she visits. She suffers greatly with paranoia, wariness, and a distrust towards most people, but she holds a great deal of love for her young son and with him she is different. She does however have impulsive behaviours, and has no issue in resorting to violence as she feels this is the only way people listen or get things done.
[ STRENGTHS ]
WELL LEARNED; She has varied skills and knowledge to help her in navigating her day to day which can be applied to a variety.
OBSERVANT; She has a keen eye, sensitive ears, and is quiet and careful on her feet. She's good at looking and listening for things.
PROTECTIVE; There is nothing she loves more than her children, and her friends are few. She is protective of what she has left.
[ WEAKNESSES ]
POOR SWIMMER; She can swim as a result of lessons, but she is by no means a strong swimmer and drowning is a real risk.
FORGETFUL; There are great gaps in her memory from her possession, and she generally finds more difficult in remembering.
TROUBLED; Paranoia, distrust, anxiety, and stress merge together as she tries to parse through the misdeeds and mistakes.


4.png
LANGUAGES || She is fluent in speaking, reading and writing with Elven, and Common. Her Rede is good, but imperfect. Infernal.
EDUCATION || She has learnt by herself over her long life, to make up for a proper formal education in her youth. Knowledgeable.
HOBBIES || Far and few between, she likes tending to plants, gazing at the stars, and tinkering with gemstones.
INTELLECT || She is a smart woman, with a basic education but a wealth of worldly knowledge and experience.
She has focused in the arts of medicine, herbalism, and alchemical practices for a large portion of her life, and so is an exceptional healer. Be this in medical care, alchemical reagents, or midwifery, she knows what she's doing either with the mundane or arcane arts. During her time as a demon, she also learnt the more harmful methods to apply alchemy, amongst other things.
[ SKILLS & ABILITIES ]
HERBALISM; She knows plenty about plants and their uses, and can make a multitude of poultices, salves, and concoctions. Be this to help others, or harm them.
MEDICINE; She has steady hands, and an expanse of knowledge. She has experience in midwifery, surgery, general care, and generally keeping people alive. Or, not.
ANATOMY; With things such as surgery and medicine, there comes an understanding of anatomy. Especially on the various patients who come out of battles directly.
[ COMBAT & FITNESS ]
RANGED; She has some knowledge with crossbows, having practiced a fair amount in combat scenarios. Whilst not the best, she is a step above a beginner, now.
MELEE; She has experience with daggers, and the rapier, more than other weapon types. Lighter sorts, relying on speed rather than strength in her movements.
AGILITY; She is nimble, making up for her lack of physical strength in being quick and fast on her feet. She uses this primarily to avoid others, but also in athletics.


5.png
ALLERGIES || She has none that she knows of, at least for the moment.
ADDICTIONS || She is was once addicted to various alchemical substances, but no more.
MEMORY || She has lost large amounts of it as a result of her possession, alchemical uses, and deaths.
AILMENTS || Her eye is restored, and so she has no ailments.
SLEEPING || She sleeps more than she used to, but not on a regular schedule.


6.png
HOMELAND || A church in the old lands.
DEATHS || She has died three times so far:
19th February, 2018 - Stabbed in the heart by Iskvandar.
17th April, 2022 - Shot through the throat by Somnastra.
21st September, 2022 - Burnt alive from within by attempted exorcism.
She remembers very little of her own history. Having been raised in a strange and troubled childhood home, she was eventually taken in and raised by priests of Shalherana who cared for her until the undead took over the continent and she had to flee to the new lands. There, the Compendium eventually became her home, venturing out to Linlea during the Blight and spending time in the service of House Bayard and various Ignites before returning to the Compendium. Eventually, she would become possessed, and spend a part of her life in a demonic state before being exorcised and residing within Ashstadt. Eventually, with her son and bundles of problems from her demonic period, she'd open the Grand Archives and try to focus on that. (And then return to Dranoden, with all of that.)


7.png
WARDROBE || She owns a variety of expensive, extravagant things, though no longer really cares for them and opts for simpler.
FUNDS || She relies on what Aleksei left her, what the Archives got her, and the various items she accrued in times before. It may be dwindling.
LANDS || She holds 'land' in the South but it is not official in the traditional sense of the word. Complicated.
HOMES || She once claimed dominion in the South with Dayton, and holds those lands as her current place of safety.
BUSINESSES || None, anything she owned is in the past and she does not expect she'd be able to run one without her history getting in the way.
PETS || None, though she used to have a cat that she loved very much. She could get another cat, some day.

- ═══━━━─── ───━━━═══ -

[ DRANODEN ] Solus
She acknowledges that how she feels is not beneficial to her own health and wellbeing, but it is not going anywhere.

[ ALEKSEI ] blargtheawesome
She got her love back, only to lose him in his own desires to wage war and battles with demons. There is a frustration that this is a theme with those she cares about, and a frustration that in his absence everything began to crumble more. She misses him, but she worries about what he will think and do at her state.

[ BRANKO ] Kostadim
Her feelings for him were complicated, rooted in the comfort and security of their past. But he tried to kill her after assaulting Ashstadt, which would've left her son in great danger with the undead - or himself. She is afraid of what he might do if they meet again, and wishes to avoid him for the foreseeable.

[ DAYTON ] Pandora12Q
He has returned to life, but she doesn't know if he is happy or where he's ultimately gotten to.

[ JAZ'GIL ] Pandora12Q
She is her daughter, even if her history is complicated. She struggles with the balance of her being both her child, but growing old enough to want to be her own person. She'll aim to be supportive and present, though recent events are making many things hard for Melarue's children.

[ XANDAR ] Mudpaw11
Her son, one born of demonic origins but the sweetest and most perfect boy she could've imagined. She believes him to be very clever, but he is still very young, and she must juggle the delicate balance of letting him be a child whilst keeping him safe and out of harms way. She hopes he'll understand many of the events that have happened when he's older, and not blame her terribly for the choices she's made for the both of them.

[ MATT ] Sergeant Freedom

A man so changed he may as well be another person, he is no friend, no ally, and no Tsar to her any longer.

[ RONN ] Luam
The man is someone she can rely on for violence, carnage, and a lack of mercy. It brings her comfort.

[ AVALYN ] Juvix_
She seems to be doing well with Melarue's absence, and hopes she only continues to do well.

[ ROGAL ] IceandFire
The man was desperate, eager, and then he was manipulative and dangerous. His connections to Jishrim and greed for power will always keep him an enemy.

[ GRAASH ] Catanomical

She knows little of him, but she feels she has helped him to find a place in this world best she can.

[ MYRDDIN ] Retro
She finds him odd, peculiar, but always welcome for his devotion to Dranoden and a perspective she doesn't see with others. Even if he eats rocks.

[ REINHARD ] LuxTop
Perhaps it was not her nor Xandar he was going for, but people like Matthias, and she understands that now. All the same, he could be an ally, even if she thinks it best to keep him at a reasonable distance.

[ ASHNA ] Solus
They journeyed into a strange frozen landscape together, and found they had to work together to stay alive. She enjoys her conversation, now, though struggles to ignore the wariness of someone so devoted in faith and the dangers it might bring.

[ AMELIE ] Cho

She's given her a good reason to think those aligned with Visage are not to be trusted. Aleksei had the right of it.

[ AMECIA ] Kaoiyr
She misses her, but thinks perhaps its best she has time to find her own way.

[ LIRIO ] Cukie1
One of her closest friends, she feels, a woman who seems to never find anything Melarue does or has done to be enough to warrant a negative reaction. She embodies the concept of being motherly, warm and approachable, and she cares for that.

[ AZURAN ] Azur
A safe and reassuring presence, especially for when Xandar is concerned and Aleksei unable to be there in the moment. She trusts him, and in his ability to keep those he cares for safe, even at his own detriment. An honorable sort.

[ SUHKOIZA ] Suhkoiza
They met in a strange place with unexpected company, but they seem to have both moved on from that encounter. She seems a confident sort, at least in regards to military, and planning, and things Aleksei might also be confident in. Outside of this she does enjoy her company, however, though thinks she could know her more.

[ EIRLYS ] hayhaiya

She did not expect her to become contracted to a demon too, and wonders how their conversations would go now.

[ AYDA ] The Cinnaroll
The woman has moved on from Branko, and from demons too, it seems. She wishes her happiness in the life she's found, though assumes it is often difficult and hard to entirely discard the past.

[ SYDRI ] LordMomOfRussia
Her persistence in keeping Rogal by her side and alive even at the cost of harming others Melarue cares for has put her on the same page as the Jishrimite himself. She cares nothing for her, now.

[ ARTESIA ] nexscarecrow

Artesia made a choice to join Melarue and with it she finds that there are few people as devoted, loyal, and trustworthy. It is a great comfort to know this, but she does feel guilty that there are feelings there that she just can't reciprocate.

[ ERWIN ] Scroll120
A passing face she remembers, but she does not know him.

[ ASERO ] Electric

She knows of his intentions and will not welcome him anywhere.

[ ELTHEA ] Book
Elthea is another who she would trust to a great deal, and in fact has entrusted her with most of the Archives contents. She wants to have her near, but she also doesn't want to bring her into the chaos that seems to be intensifying.

[ VELDRIC ] mageaegis
It means a lot to her that he cares so much and still remains cordial despite even her return to the demon he has great ire for. She is comforted that he is with Elthea, for she knows he can keep her safe. She hopes he is careful regarding the Seamstress, though.

[ BERNARD ] Galaxy
She did not expect him to be so unhappy with his own self that he wanted to change so greatly. But she hopes either by what they agreed on or just through time he'll find his own way, and along that path he continues to provide company, friendship, and lessons to Xandar that she cannot provide.

[ ALEXANDRA ] Arget Istalri
She wonders if she feels similarly to Bernard, though she does not know how to help the girl other than being available and providing a place to be that she does not need to have a mask on to cope with it.

[ LANA ] I am Wake
It is to her own great disappointment that the woman tries to paint Melarue in such a light, but it is what it is.


[ CARMINE ] blargtheawesome
He is a manipulative little snake, but so long as their interests align. She also finds him bizarre, and at times it can be refreshing to see him socialise with the rest of the strange ragtag group they've got going.

aaaand done, attempting to make a less-mean character and do BEALS

=====
Notes
A lot of her knowledge is not included here (i cant write down everything a char knows ever) but this is a place to
store various things she's found out via training or lessons in game. Even if she knew of it prior I will add it for extra
clarification and backing to her IC knowledge. Some is taught by others, some is self taught and applied in RP.

Techniques/Methods;
+Using Absinthe to clean wounds with.
+Sterilising needles via brazier OR spirit alcohol.
+Feeling for breaks.
+Double Stitching for deep wounds.

Plants/Uses;
+Solomons Seal, 'Powdered Root of the Lady's Seal' ( http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/s/solsea63.html )
"Mixture of Mandrake and Periwinkle. Historically attributed with powers against possession. It lets them not feel the soreness and pain."
+Knitbone - For reducing swelling.
+Bishopswort (Betony) - http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/b/betowo35.html
+Herb of Grace (Vervain) - http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/v/vervai08.html
+Maythen (Chamomile) - http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/c/chammo49.html
+Green Ginger (Wormwood) -

Tools;
+Calcinator: Often some kind of fire resistant bowl in which ingredents can be heated without direct flame contact. A flame of some sort can be lit below. Alternatively, the bowl can hold the fuel and a pot placed above.
+Alembic: A tool used to distill, or separate and purify, substances. Often made of glass so observation is possible, but can be made of metals or even clay. The bottom sits over a heat source and contains the substance to be distilled, and at the top is a bulb with a tube sloping down and out (often these two are joined and are called a retort, but if they are separate pieces they are referred to as the cucurbit and the alembic, respectively). [ source ]
+Retort: See above.
+Pestle and Mortar: Needs no real explanation. It's a grinder for ingredients. (Mortar being the 'bowl' and pestle being the grinding hand tool.)

Creatures;
'King Scorpion' - Can grow to the size of houses, appeared in the south. Tzemik hopes to breed for more eggs and create an 'antivenom'. (Venom antiserum is extremely difficult to engineer.)
'Wendigo' - A huge beast from the North, with elongated claws, antlers, and an oddly humanoid frame. Covered in fur. Known to mimic sounds/voices.
Spiders - Larger than any normal sort, venom tends to be strong. Known to cause hallucinations, fever, delirium, paralysis.

Definitions;
+Herbology - The study of herbs and what makes them useful. Also the care of such plants.
+Herb - A plant valued for its medicinal, culinary, or aromatic properties. A herb can be made into a variety of different things, including salves, decoctions, essential oils, infusions, extracts, tinctures, and poultices.
+Extract: A solution of essential constituents of a herbal agent. Prepared by boiling the plant material in water and evaporating the strained decoction to a desired concentration.
+Essential Oil: A concentrated, water repelling liquid, containing the aroma of the plant.
+Infusion: An extract of water soluble products; prepared by soaking or steeping, usually in sterile water, sometimes called a tea or tisane. An infusion is usually made using the more delicate plant parts.
+Salve: Any medical ointment applied to wounds, skin irritations, or burns for the purpose of soothing and promoting healing.
+Decoction: A water solution of plant extracts. Prepared at boiling temperature, it differs from an infusion in that coarse and brittle plant structures (root and bark) make up the decoction. They should be used within 24 hours because of their volatile nature.
+Ointment: A salve for application to the skin; put another way they are herbal oils solidifed by using wax, usually beeswax.
+Tincture: A solution of a medicinal material and carrier such as alcohol, water, or vinegar.
+Poultice: Bruised herb is mixed with water, softened and heated to a semi liquid herbal mass. Then it is spread on a cloth and applied.

testing fonts weird woo
