Overall Appearance: Alyssia is an attractive woman, with a pale and fragile look about her (though she is anything but). Her complexion is smooth and very pale, not a blemish to be seen upon her skin, not a freckle nor any hint of a tan, and her eyes are a gentle green colour. Her hair is of medium length, falling to her shoulders when unstyled, but usually put painstakingly up into curls that fall only to her lower neck. Her clothing is usually quite old fashioned, she is fond of blacks and whites, usually with black as the dominant colour of the jacket, dress or skirt, with white details - she is fond of lace and silks, in victorian style, and often wears a particularly nice black hat, with a striped bow and feathers adorning it.
Personality: Diplomatic and silver-tongued, Alyssia would not be where she is today without a commanding and dominating presence. She is a very forceful woman, and seldom takes no for an answer when it comes to something that is important to her. She is a ruthless negotiator, an inspiring leader, and a charming damsel all in one, though usually not at the same time. Her sense of humour is somewhat difficult to locate, but that which is there is satyrical and sophisticated.
Skills and Talents:
- Skilled with small firearms.
- Capable in close combat, trained by her own guards to handle herself well.
- A highly intellectual mind, with an impressive education from top universities and private schools and tutors.
- Very good under pressure, seldom panicking or losing her calm at all.
Abilities:
- Summon Elemental: The mage can summon forth a fire elemental, a storm elemental, a water elemental or an earth elemental. The fire elemental is a small humanoid creature formed of fire, and can control and create fire. The storm elemental is a fluctuating sentient cloud of electricity, that can both shoot bolts of lightning and even use itself as one. The water elemental is a large being formed of the water itself, capable of shifting and contorting, immune to most physical assault due to its liquid nature, though somewhat lacking in offensive power, with only jets of water, and vulnerable to electricity and other magical assault. The earth elemental is a golem-like creature with immense strength and durability, capable of melding with the rock and earth to increase its own size.
- Elemental Manipulation: Traditionally, an Everian mage can only master a single element, and maintain a low level of ability with the others. The same is true for Alyssia, and her chosen element is air, meaning she can call forth powerful gales, and more lethally, lightning.
- Pure Arcane: Everian magic also enables the user to manipulate mana in its purest form, described by some particular individuals as 'purple', while others refer to it rather more properly as 'arcane' energy. This allows the wielder to control these fluctuating energies, forming forcefields, pure energy blasts, and the like - though requiring less energy from the mage, as the mana does not need to be focused, arcane attacks and defences tend to be weaker than more refined abilities.
Equipment:
- Two 9mm pistols.
- Three knives, one within her boot, one on the inside of her jacket or the upper portion of her dress, and one strapped to her thigh.
- A handbag, containing make-up, money, her phone, etc.
- A black steel umbrella, with a switch to extend a blade from the tip, coated in a deadly poison.
- An ear communicator, allowing her contact with her guards.
