[Character Sheet] Lotha Scylla

[Demotheus 649]

Name: Lotha

 

Age: Between 400-600 years old.

 

Gender: Female

 

Race: Appears to be some kind of Halfling and can be mistaken for a doom-forged by the ignorant. She is half dark elf, half dwarf.

 

Appearance: Lotha stands at a diminutive four feet tall. She is rather pear shaped, or bottom heavy. She is almost completely flat chested granted by her elven heritage while her hips flair out and her legs are thick and sturdy, lending to her dwarven heritage. Her skin is a dusky charcoal color while her eyes are a crimson red. Her hair is a shocking fiery contrast compared to her dark skin. From a distance and in various lightings it could seem she were ablaze but in actual fact it's just her long main of dwarven, fiery hair. She often wears a purple robe or dress, being one of her favourite colors. Her facial features are soft and cutesy. She has rounder cheekbones and a narrow chin with a little more fat in her cheeks than the average elf. She has many, many piercings, rings, and other such jewelry due to her dwarven greed as well as a paranoia of the undead. Furthermore, her body that is usually covered by clothing is riddled with various assorted scars, from stab wounds to lightning strikes. She has taken it upon herself, except in places she cannot reach, to tattoo over these scars in a light blue body ink that curves from scar to scar in a tribalistic style. Her demeanor can vary wildly depending on who has command of her.

 

Personalities: Lotha suffers from something akin to DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and has so from early on in her life. Being the half breed she was, she was found impure and unwanted by most and ridiculed by most of the most. This took it's toll on Lotha's mental health and eventually she had her first split. From Lotha to Lotha Scylla. While her name from birth was Lotha, and "Scylla" was the original commander of her vessel, Lotha developed a habit of speaking in the third person and identifying herself as Lotha and so Scylla, unable to convince Lotha to refer to herself as a different person, caved and named herself Scylla. Over the course of many years more personalities took form in Lotha's mind and eventually mustered the will power to be able to take control over her at certain times, some more than others.

 

The separate identities that are less seen will not be listed here. Only Lotha's personality will be written about in this fashion. Assume, appearance wise, that all identities look like the original Lotha, but have different mannerisms.

 

Lotha:

 

The one who identifies themselves as Lotha takes several different forms, however the most dominate one is a childish, immature and chaotic being that is headstrong and opinionated. They are obsessed with magic, and like all of her personalities, loathe the dark art of necromancy and any being that aligns themselves with it. Due to losing her family which included two of her children, her parents and her husband around 1200 in Aegis to the undead army which attacked her modest holding she lives in paranoia of such beings returning. She is not convinced that Iblees is gone or dead, but simply biding his time. She wears many golden pieces of jewelry as a result of this to ward off a would be undead attacker. She is addicted to night-sap and has held this addiction for centuries at this point, and will often try to spread her favourite bedtime snack with unsuspecting victims.

 

She typically appears as her original self, a four foot tall flame headed dark dwarf, leaning towards her elven side from the waist up. She is dripping on golden jewelry, and her facial expressions are often expressive. She tries to appear relatively cheery by default, but if one were of keen eye they might understand that is covering something up. She likes to wear purple dresses.

 

There are, of course, several other personality fragments that identify as Lotha and speak with her mannerisms or those similar to hers. It's difficult to define whether those are just mood swings or entirely separate personalities within her. She remembers fragments of what those other personalities that identify as her go through however often cannot recall most of it. As a result she has an existential crisis with herself. Hence, she developed the nervous tick of speaking in the third person to separate herself from herself in an attempt to see into her mind from an outside perspective, rather than be confused inside of it. Contrary to popular belief, she is able to retain more of her sanity in this fashion and is probably one of the least insane things her collective self has come up with.

 

Scylla:

 

Scylla identifies herself, usually, as herself in the first person. I am Scylla, as opposed to Lotha is Lotha. She is the closest to a normal person that Lotha has inside her, counting herself. She is particularly headstrong and often will pick fights, or flings over words, though she isn't afraid to give a tongue lashing as an added bonus. She curses the most out of all known Others of Lotha and has a light dwarven accent. She generally appears as a short dwarven woman with stark red hair and paler skin, a mountain dwarf. She, unlike Lotha, appears to have a proportional bust to the rest of her body, which is far more dwarf like than elf. She often wears a smirk or a grin on her face though that can easily switch to a sneer or snarl if you cross her and soon after that you might find yourself blacking out. She wears plain clothes and only two gold earrings on her earlobes, as far as one can tell.

 

Skills and Magic Prowess: Lotha is a jack of many trades, so to speak. However she shines best in her magical arts. She has an obsessive love for them, more than most anything in the world. She has been a master of illusion for over one hundred years and is currently learning mental magic at an impressive pace. Lotha is more than capable of teaching illusion, as well, and has four students currently. As a result of her learning illusion she learned to keep an eye for details and notices little things more readily than most would as she has to replicate to the best of her imaginations ability her illusions in the most realistic ways. Furthermore, however, she has learned many fighting techniques, smithing techniques, and a multitude of other techniques well enough to fool even experienced, but perhaps not masterful, users of those crafts and skills. While being physically weak she knows how to fight with a weapon and relies heavily on redirection of force, parrying, and faux attacks to win a fight should it come to close quarter combat. She can couple this with small but impactful illusions to redirect her opponents attention, often forcing them to defend against an attack that never happened only to be struck where they can't see. However she prefers to cast illusory lightning on foes to cripple them.

I think they're connected, but not that connected

 

[McDaedra 261]

Technically you can be a dark dwarf and NOT be a doomforged.

 

Just throwing that out there

 

((Edit

Doomforged is a clan, not a subrace, unless someone wants to prove otherwise

Doomforged is a specific clan and APPARENTLY aren't actual elven at all.

I can't remember but this was a while ago.

[McDaedra 261]

I've heard from people that doomforged are more dark elf than dwarf, seeing as the dwarf part may have been diffused through generations

 

I dunno, just putting what I know on the table.

 

Either way, nice character sheet! Fun to read this kind of stuff.

Lothas pretty cool as long as you aren't a ghoul. She bullies my ghoul on the daily.

*backstoryspoiler* In the year 1200 she had been married to a wealthy Dwarf and had 2 kids with him. They had a modest keep together and a small town surrounded it. The Iblees Undead attacked it. She arrived a little too late. At the time she was far more of a fighter with melee weapons. She carved a path to the keep only to see her family being drained by necromancers. She lost all will to live at a crucial moment and they began to drain her, but her guard barged in just in time to save her from them.

 

Just a summary. So Undead literally killed her parents and her entire family. :( So she hates the vast majority  of undead, especially if they have link to the necromancers. She can put up with the odd wraith that isn't tied directly to them here or there, but as a whole she hates anything affiliated with the undead.
