Ilyssa Alis

Name: Ilyssa Alis

Age: Looks about 17-18 in human years, is 140 years in reality.

Gender: Female

Species: Gloaming. Originally a subterranean species, gloamings are pale human like creatures with large black wings on their backs. These wings can be used to fly, and are not retractable. They are lithe creatures, most often not very muscular and/or strong. Their eyes seem to glow in low light. Their skin is bioluminescent, meaning they begin to glow with a faint light in the darkness. They have control over the glow, being able to dim it when they wish. Many gloamings have tattoos and strange markings on their skin, creating interesting patterns when they glow. Their lifespan is from 200-300 years.

• Hair: Ilyssa has extremely dark black hair that goes to her hips. It’s mostly wavy, though it begins to fall in ringlets near the bottom. The tips of her hair fade to a lighter, lavender/gray colour, and streaks of this colour run through her hair. She usually keeps her hair out of her face by either tying it up, clipping it back, or just putting on any headband like object nearby.
• Eyes: Ilyssa’s eyes have a black ring at the edges, and they’re light, grey/lavender colour at the middle. Black flecks are in the middle as well. Her eyes are wide and round, and usually look curious, bored or apathetic. Her eyelashes are a dark black colour, and naturally long and thick. They glow a faint purple in low light.
• Skin: Ilyssa has pale skin, clear of any blemishes. It’s naturally pale, though her time spent at the school has caused it to become almost white. She has pale freckles, but only a very few, just on her arms and the bridge of her nose. She has a tattoo of a flock of birds taking off on her left collarbone, and a simple tiny spade on her right wrist. Both are black.

• Height/Build: Her height is 5’4, and she has a thin, muscular build. The way she holds herself is reminiscent of a bird, like she’s ready to take off any second now.
• Marks: Scars, lots of ‘em. She has a large, jagged one on her back, going from her left shoulder to her tailbone. There are many more tiny ones on her back too. She has strange ones on her arms, some looking like shapes and words. She has a thin one on the right side of her face, right on the jawline. There are a ton on her feet too, a lot looking like she stepped on something that’s better not stepped on. Her left elbow and the skin around it has an old burn scar.
• Wings: Large, black and angel like, with purple highlights.
• Clothes:

Abilities

Abilities:

• Bioluminescence: Ilyssa’s skin has the ability to let off a faint light in the dark or near darkness. She can choose to dim the light.
• Flying: Ilyssa can use her wings to fly certain distances, though like all parts of her body, they get tired after a certain amount of use.
• Dark Vision: Ilyssa’s eyes can see clearly in low light areas, and semi-clearly in the darkness. However, her vision loses colour the darker it gets, until pitch black darkness, where she’s colourblind.

Special Weaknesses: She has an aversion to bright lights, being used to the dark. Extremely bright lights can blind her for up to two days. Her wings both have a small spot at the base of the joints where they can be permanently injured, though it’s covered by a few joints and layers of natural armour.

Weapons

Weapons:

• A small silver dagger, which she keeps hidden on herself.

• A set of small throwing knives, kept in various places where she could access them quickly.
  
  Multiple of these

  

Items

Items:

• Three vials of poison, arranged by order of how lethal they are. The first is enough to get someone sick, the second can send them into a coma, and the third kills. She only has these three vials, so she only uses them if absolutely necessary.
• A small silver hourglass with a strange iridescent sand.
• A black bag with a long strap, slung over her shouler. It contains various small items of questionable use, along with her money.

A Longish Backstory

Backstory: Ilyssa was born underground, into one of the larger gloaming cities. Her parents were killed in a trainwreck only a few days after her birth, so she was sent to live with two strange old gloaming ladies, Mrs. Khyrath and Mrs. Lchvonzerg. At first the old ladies were kind and welcoming to the new addition to their household, but soon after the city was hit by a famine. The stores of food the gloamings had kept in stock had all been infected, and disease began to spread. Gloamings were kept hungry for days, many dying before their next meal arrived. Guards were given free rein to prevent escape at all costs.
Hunger and sickness does strange things to people, and there ladies were no exception to this. They began to starve Ilyssa, taking her rations to feed themselves. Once the disease began to break their minds, they began to abuse the child, often calling her names or leaving her to sleep out in the cold. She learned to fend for herself, especially on those nights where she was left out alone, fashioning weapons out of broken glass and learning some fighting techniques of her own. She became good at scavenging items that, while useless at first glance, actually had many uses.
When the ladies finally passed away, Ilyssa began to search for a way to leave the city. She gathered as many useful supplies she could carry, and one night, finally found an exit. She ended up in a small town, where she took up odd jobs to earn coin. She honed her fighting skills in this time, acquiring some knives from a travelling salesman. She currently travels as much as she can, questing and completing missions.

Sounds interesting! I’ll send a CS in sometime tomorrow if that’s okay.

Trios

Is 500 meters okay?

Trios

They’re too big to be used indoors, get caught easily on branches and the like, and are an easy target to harm her with. I’ll try and think up a shorter distance as well, and I’ll post it when I do.

Alright, is 1-2 km okay? With a long resting period in between? (I’m terrible with distances ^^’)
