Description

Name: Krista

Race: Human

Class: Mercenary

Age: 35

Appearance:



Tall for a woman, thin and remarkably strong, Krista – by many – is considered the epitome of beauty. She is a half-blood of something – what exactly no one knows. All anyone can tell from her high cheekbones and slanted eyes is that she is exotic, and from her rounded ears that she is human. It is joked amongst her friends that she might be half barbarian, a child of the plains and desert. Were she a noblewoman she might be the most sought-after maiden in Tane, but she had never in her life stood within the Imperial Court at Delta. Krista is, above all other things, a temptress and a warrior. She commands others as a spider might command a fly at the end of its web, makes people dance with the utter power of her beauty and lethal draw. She can wrap men around her calloused fingers with ease. All it takes is a quick flutter from the thick lashes of her bright green eyes. Her body is thickly lined with muscles, framed by trailing strands of ebony hair. Hourglass in shape, she wears armour which greatly accentuates every single curve, and yet somehow manages to protect her. Or perhaps not – the experienced swordswoman does not often require protection.

Personality

Personality: Krista can be described in two short words – violent and impulsive. She has always done what she wanted, uncontrollable and charismatic. She can wheedle her way out of any situation, any duty, if she so chooses. She always gets what she wants. Brilliant, charming, and more than a little physically pleasing, she had lain with countless men, and slain countless more. If there is any one thing that she enjoys more than sex, it is the spilling of blood. She is a powerful warrior, a strategist and a commander. With a firm hand she lords over the men and women who surround her, but she can be subtle. She can be dangerous. She has no qualms about worming her way into a man’s heart to get what she wants for him. Her body is, to her, nothing more than a killing machine. A tool to advancement and entertainment.
Of course, until recently she was also a highly trustworthy friend. Loyal to a fault, she would kill anyone who insulted those she loved. She was always smiling, always embracing the boys she had grown up with. She fought side by side with them, called them her family, did everything in her power to keep them alive. Those three boys – Ruin, William, and Daedra – were the only people in the world with which she never became angry. With a temper that flared at the slightest provocation, it was those three who could return her to the fun-loving, physical woman they all knew so well. That has changed.
No one knows the cause, but whatever it was, Krista is dangerous. She has murdered her beloved Daedra – the man she had finally come to love – and many other members of the Guild she fought so hard to establish. She seems to have snapped, somehow, but as no one has spoken to her since before the brutal attack, no one knows how or why. All they know is that she has vanished, and somewhere out there she is preparing to bring a war like no other.

Diety: Helkara

Likes: Blood, sex, food, money, travel, adventure, war, combat, sparring, drinking, competition, physical activity, besting men, men and women both, good food, festivals, magical weapons, soft beds, the simple comforts of life, sleeping on the road, surviving off of her wit, kinderlings, dwarves, command

Dislikes: Elves, boredom, sitting still, being alone, consistency, poverty, weakness, predictability, times of peace

Life Goals: To remain entertained, and self-sustaining, until the day she dies by another man’s sword.

Fears: Nothing. That’s the problem.

Quirks: She is manipulative and highly intelligent. She is virtually impossible to track. She loves hunting. She measures people by their strength, and considers herself more masculine than many of her friends. She and William always bickered, but loved one another like siblings. She was closest to Ruin, except perhaps Daedra. She hates marriage, hates being tied down, but loved Daedra enough that she was actually considering tying the knot.
