Full Name: Reith Arian
Nicknames/Aliases: Rei (To her former Solace friends) The Silver Demon, The Corrupted Solace
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Species: Human...at least she was born human. What she has become is less clear.
Faction Affiliation Bwgan
Rank Commander. Reith appears to display some sort of unnatural control of the bwgan, who seem to treat her almost as a 'Queen' like a hive of bees or a colony of ants. Bwgan appear compelled to protect her and to follow her orders, and seem drawn towards to her. It is unknown why this is, whether it is a conscious effort on Reith's part, or whether it is some other force at work.
Description: Even prior to her change, Reith was quite a distinctive young woman, and tended to looks distinctive among her peers. She seemed quite slender, almost androgynous in her figure, lacking much in the way of curves. She was naturally quite pale-skinned and sensitive to the sunlight. She had high cheekbones and thin lips. She didn't dress provocatively, tending to cover up as much as possible. Most distinctive were her eyes, which appeared a grey-mauve colour, and her hair which was a long, thick mane of silver, reaching down to her lower back. A thick black stripe ran through on the left side. The hair reached down to her lower back, and served as an easy way to pick her out in a crowd.
Now, some months along, as the corrupting influence of the bwgan began to take its toll, she has changed enormously. She appears very underweight and frail in appearance, skin appearing a sickly pale grey sort of hue, with dark purple rings surrounding her eyes. Her lips seem cracked and chapped, her skin blotchy and grazed in many places. Her silver hair hangs in greasy strands, clinging to her face in several places.
More disturbingly it appears her body has begun to change. Her left hand has become a twisted, bony appendage covered in a slimy membrane, the digits tapering into sharp, claw-like points. Her form is patched with a sort of black, sticky substance that resembles bwgan skin, and seems to began in a similar way. Her blood is a bight green colour.
Personality:
Prior to her betrayal, Reith seemed to be a good-hearted, if rather shy and enigmatic individual. She was generally quiet and rather meek, tending to be concerned about offending others. She was quite considerate, and came across as pleasant and kind to those that extended a hand of friendship to her. She was quite close to her team-members, something that made her betrayal all the more shocking.
In the weeks leading up to the murder of the team's mentor, Reith began to act rather strangely. She became progressively more withdrawn and snappy. She started avoiding the others and spending nearly all her time locked in her quarters. It was clear that something was not right, but it was no known just how severe it was until murdered her mentor and took off.
By the time the team set out to combat her, Reith had changed immeasurably. She had lost her mind. While once she had been a compassionate and sensitive young woman, she had become spiteful and malevolent. She displayed a love of carnage and destruction, and a sort of twisted affection towards the bwgan, viewing them as her 'pets'. She seems to gain some sort of twisted joy through the suffering of others. Despite this, she does not appear to have a selfish motive to her horrifying actions. Her behaviour has not benefitted her, leaving her sick and weak, the dark influence slowly destroying her body and mind. She appears to believe herself to be some sort of 'Chosen One' who will bring about a new age.
Her madness extends to her sense of planning and logic. Much of what she says is cryptic, and much of her plans appear to make no sense and follow no pattern of logic. She seems to neglect herself almost completely, rarely eating and almost never sleeping, wearing ragged, filthy clothing despite her status allowing her far better ones.
Skills:
-Dark Magic: Reith is able to manipulate some sort of dark force that appears to be a grotesque parody of Pale Magic. She is able to use it to transform others into bwgan. This is not an easy task however, and requires preparation. She appears to have gained a frightening knowledge of the arcane, and can call upon an assortment of strange spells.
-Bwgan Flesh: Reith appears to be able to manipulate the corrupted tissue within her own body to a frightening effect, using it to seal wounds or form terrifying tendrils and spines. These constructs are quite fragile and easily broken for the mostpart.
Weaknesses:
-Sickness: Reith has been rendered quite unwell by the effects of the corruption on her body, and her neglect of herself. As a result she is not physically strong enough to match up in a physical fight, preferring to let her 'pets' do the legwork for her.
-Madnesss: The corruption has also effected Reith's mind. Her decisions appear to not be based in logic and she appears to make very rash decisions much of the time.
Brief History:
Reith was taken in The Solaces at the age of nine, appearing one day accompanied by two of the existing operatives, though little was said about the circumstances of how she had come to be taken in by the organization. Reith did not speak of it either, and few sort to push the subject. Many would not speak of their backgrounds. A few weeks after that she showed some signs of Pale Magic, and was admitted to the training program.
During training she did not shine, seeming to have quite week and unremarkable abilities, seeming to struggle with most of the exercises, and seemed to blend into the background much of the time. Those friends that she did make she was very close to, and when they were assigned teams, she quickly became quite close to them, seeming to enjoy the thought of fitting in.
However the change in personality began to strike her and she pulled away from them, becoming withdrawn and hostile. She would spend most all the time in her room, and was not eating. The team's member, an older Solace, decided to take her to one side for a private talk, hoping to work out the problem. The next day he was discovered murdered in the woods outside the fortress, a sword plunged right through his heart and deep into the ground beneath him. Several Solaces went to search Reith's quarters and found her gone...and her room in a terrible state. Strange writing was painted over the walls, the bed was torn up and books shredded, and the desk appeared smeared with blood.
Nothing was heard of her for months, but bwgan attacks began to rise...it was then that reports began to come in of the figure known as The Silver Demon, a human who walked amoung the bwgan hordes and commanded them like a Queen, recognizable by her long, silver hair. It was realized, as investigations were made, that her and Reith were one and the same.
