Concept: Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)
Description: Shadow Phoenix Ruby is a tall curvaceous woman with ankle length crystal blue streaked with red hair, four strands of which are fiber optic cables that flicker with light when she gets emotional. A circuit board design of lines race along her shapely and Adamant blue form, pulses of light travel along things lines in various colors depending on her mood. Her eyes are a ruby red and seem to glow in their own right. Upon her head lies her clear diamond shaped Soul Gem. Her transformative armor varies in style and form, but usually, when she deigns to wear clothes, she wears an outfit of blacks and reds. The outfits are usually simple, a pair of black thigh high boots, a thigh length skirt, a tight sleeveless shirt shows off her navel and a good portion of cleavage. A more common outfit is done in mainly blacks, grays, and whites, an outfit that befits her station among Estasia. Her Wings are hidden when not in use and relies on a Charm to store them, but their Twin angular shape fold up and back depending on the speed she desires in flight. Their color is a simple adamant crystal blue.

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: Shadow Phoenix Ruby (Considering she ALWAYS uses IAT likely it will be rare to see her natural state)

History

Long, long ago, I lived the life of a hero, not of Autochthon, but of the strange land called Creation. It was there that my first life ended devoured by the nightmare forms of the Primordials during a great war. It is a life that is far away from the others but various memories does surface from time to time. Another life speaks of awe and worship to a great being whose kindness to humans was greater than other greater beings, I recall desiring to be the best person towards this being. That life was interrupted as he took me and thousands of others into himself, fleeing into Elsewhere and locking himself from Creation. His reasoning were not known to me, his fears unspoken to us, but I recall never wavering, I would pray to Him. Various lives lived, various deaths to follow. All of them unwavering in the world of Shadow and Brass, I only had a heart and soul for the Great Maker, he who we rely on for our survival, he who we count our society to. We are after all his chosen and we should do our best to ensure his health.

Still my lives recall one thing among all things. The Void. Its taint as it creeps across our landscapes, its hunger as it seeks Essence and life. It devours it all. I knew through each life that this was a bad sign, that the Nations were too fixed with themselves, that they wouldn’t notice the failing Health of our Great One. I know my lives centered on trying to change this, we must work harder for the Great Maker, we need things that would help him! Only one life felt the biting touch of the Void as I struggled to gain the needed respect to change the way our lives were lived. It was in the grand city of Ixut, a city failing as materials from our mines waned. I recall the turmoil, I recall the speeches of hate that echoed drowning out mine for caution and care. Oh Ixut…

That final day, my last before my newest first, the ground shook and terrible groans echoed throughout the area. I recall Ixut’s essence supplies drop rapidly, his form of spires and towers darkening. Fear was rippling through us all, not even I was spared the fear of the unknown. Many tried to escape the fate that was to befall us, many struggled, and many took their fear and hate and used it against others. It was terrible and cruel. The ground heaved and metal twisted and bent, the screeching of dying metal echoed in my heart, my very soul. Was Autochthon dying? I raced then fighting back my own fear gathering all I could, those that were too frightened to run, too unsure of what to do, and we prayed. Perhaps we could save ourselves with a final pulse of Essence to the Great Maker. I prayed fervently even as Ixut himself began to fall into the opening of the land, the dark tendrils of Void seeking to devour all life. And then it was over.

All my lives lived, two annihilated by powers beyond me. But I am born anew, and these memories of lives lived are all that keep me from falling into hateful Chaos. I am Shadow Phoenix Ruby, an Angel of the Reaches. I have been mentored by the nurturing aspect of Autochthon, Runel, and she has done much for me. But little has the Divine Minister tried to sooth my fear and anger of the Void. I am untold what it is, I just know that it is. I fight the Gremlins where-ever they are. I have slain two Champions of the Nations personally, for their methods boarded well upon the Void. I have fought and lost once to a powerful Apostate only to have a Greater Adamant to deal with the threat. My latest mission has taken me far. I am to insert myself in Estasia, get their trust and watch their Champions who ascribe to be come members of the Tripartite. And yet... things have gone ... in a different Direction. Project Razor was successful, and now each of the 8 nations are desiring contact with the Celestial Deliberative. And now I am chosen to represent Estasia, to become their Representative to Creation. What will I find, and will I be tested, as the Myth of Autochthonia, to protect a land that come perhaps too late to Creation.

Personality

• Shadow Phoenix Ruby is a soft spoken, quiet being. Her time alone has made a certain mark on her however, as she is desperate for true friendships. Its impossible to tell this though as she has hidden it well behind her mask of being something other than what she is.
