December's MFC:
- Name: Queen Nstif’ikta I’lar
Race: Rau-lass
Appearance: No matter how evil they are, no one can say that a Rau-lass isn’t beautiful and Nstif’ikta is no exception. Designed for both seduction and strength, the Rau-lass Queen’s body is perfectly toned and in proportion, the flawless alabaster skin marred only by shadows and her features reminiscent of a woman in her early thirties. Tall even for the Rau-lass (5’ 11”), her long legs are undoubtedly her best asset and not even the strength in her arms is simply for show: born to the sword, Nstif’ikta could easily hold her own in battle. As all members of her race, the Queen’s hair is a mass of writhing black tentacles – each about the girth of her smallest finger – and each ‘strand’ has sensory endings that act like individual appendages, touching and sensing things, though without much strength. Large, black, pouting lips hide her slightly pointed teeth and her narrow, crimson eyes settle upon sharp cheekbones. Her nails are longer than a soldier’s usually would be and are slightly curled, the black tips embedded with a natural toxin that burns on contact with flesh (the Rau-lass naturally are resistant). She generally wears leather armour but during battle has a tendency to wear something more practical and made of steel. She may also wear long, hooded robes of deepest indigo during times of ritual or ceremony of a cloth that clings tightly to her upper body before fanning loosely around her limbs. She bears a three-hand-and-a-half sword at her hip in a polished black scabbard, the steely grey hilt carved into a thorny resemblance and the pommel set with a single, thumbnail-sized garnet.
Personality: She is a highly seductive woman (as most of her race) and many find her and her suggestions hard to resist. The Rau-lass Queen’s main vice is her greed and her curiosity, for it is both of these that have caused her so trouble with a certain Major Ambey – her ‘fire-bird’ – and may cause her concern in the future. She has a great weakness for power and is willing to sacrifice anything but her own life for it – even children. Generally a selfish woman, she will however consent to joint ‘leadership’ as it were... as long as she holds the reigns, obviously.
Bio: Virtually nothing is known about the Queen of the Rau-lass. Her presence in Aduro was unknown until the battle at Tumulosus, though there were the inevitable rumours that often had more truth than people realised. Clearly a knowledgeable woman, it is obvious she was brought up to fill exactly this role, though not even I can see her as anything other than an adult. Who knows, she may have a whole complex thing going on where she had a bad childhood, didn’t make any friends etc etc... somehow, I doubt it though...
Her recent history involves the battle at Tumulosus – the last stand that she herself supervised to ensure it really was the last. The human Phoenix Raine (aka Major Ambey) is a matter of curiosity to her due to the strength and determination she possesses, though the clearer objective is her want for a link to the faeries (which she believes the human race owes her) and a return of the magic with which she gifted the first traitor of the human race, General Llanna. After the disappearance of her ‘fire-bird’ – along with the remaining mages under the faery Sorea Pardai’s command – Nstif’ikta has been temporarily distracted from the main battles decimating Aduro with searching for those mages missing from Tumulosus.
During the seven month period before the fall of Occalus - the faery capital - the Queen managed to locate and capture one of the faery mages – Foertis Deus – who leaked the knowledge that someone close to Commander Pardai was helping him rescue children from the Rau-lass’ experimental plans. Sidetracked by the battle at Occalus, she is unaware that Foertis was rescued by his companions (‘cause let’s face it, who wants to tell the Rau-lass Queen that one of her prize captives has managed to escape..?).
Strengths and weaknesses: Nstif’ikta has an innate telepathic ability that is virtually second nature to her and along with her extensive shadow magic, she is a formidable mage. Neither would you want to face her in a one-on-one swordfight for, though her prowess with the sword doesn’t even compare to the magic she bears, she is still a dangerous opponent in battle.
