==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />

To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />

''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />

The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />

For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan.

Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone -2m to MA with Form active)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artist out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
*'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
*'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
*'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
*'''SALARY 3''' (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
*'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
'''ARTIFACT 2''' Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
'''ARTIFACT 4''' Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
'''BACKING 2''' (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
'''CELESTIAL MANSE 3''' (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
'''SIFU 2''' (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />

BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

=Character Details=<br />
==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />
==Motivation==<br />
To have the greatest adventure of my life while hunting and securing the secret behind the Scarlet Empress’ disappearance.<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

==Bio==<br />
''I dash around the corner, the strange and powerful creature laughing cruelly as it slowly and confidently follows me. The dark passages were unnerving, it felt like someone was always watching me. Still I ran, there was no way a simple girl like myself was going to fight a monstrosity like him! My ankle length jet black hair with its dark red and bright blue tips trailed behind me, the green ribbon having long since fallen off. I had no weapons, no special powers like the Dragon Blooded, I had nothing to protect me. Nothing especially against the Anathema! I pick up the pace and dive into a smooth and small passage, bruising most likely my firm legs, slender arms, and chest I squirm my way into this crawlspace hoping beyond hope that the end opened somewhere else.''<br />
<br />
''Something cold and slimy grabs my ankle and I cry out as it tries to pull me back. Reaching forward in a hope to find something to grab I use my free foot to kick at the offending appendage. A piercing and frightening howl causes me to freeze and tremble and soon I am pulled from the crawlspace. As I dangle before the not quite dead, dead creature I cross my arms and pout, while I glare at the powerful undead and tentacle thing, four red eyes gleefully looks at me, and I can just tell it was going to use me as some sort of play thing if not kill me outright.''<br />
<br />
''“So Altievia Solitaire,” my pursuer says as he steps from behind the mass of slim, death, and rot, “how do you like finally being caught.”''<br />
<br />
''“Really Cor,” I snap at the thing that had at one point been a prospective suitor. Now he was less handsome, with his black eyes, and very pale skin, of course his behavior hasn’t at all be nice. It was no wonder he was an Anathema. “You should know by now that you can’t keep me. I will get away.”''<br />
<br />
''He laughs coldly, though I can’t blame him. It won’t take much to kill me after a long torture session. All I had was false bravado.''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia, Little Alt, when I’m done with you, you will be wishing you had not spurned me all those years ago.”''<br />
<br />
''“Master, we should kill her now, I smell something strange about her,” the creature says with a deep growl in its voice.''<br />
<br />
''“Don’t be silly, she is easily destroyed.”''<br />
<br />
''And then I felt it, something awakening inside of me, and my green eyes flashed with a greenish light as began to glow from me. My eyes are wide as the light gleams on the slimy mass and I shiver slightly as I dangle there. Cor glares at me drawing a black bladed daiklave from its back’s position and the creature lefts me up higher, better to impale me at this height. I squirm and flail about knowing that I was about to die and then suddenly I fall to the ground, dropped. Standing before me was a red haired woman, dressed in a green outfit and holding a sword before her, a bow was strapped to her back. I could make out a strange symbol on one of her arms. For a moment I could almost make out the markings on her outfit''<br />
<br />
''“Go on,” she snaps, “Get out of here. I’ll take care of the boy.”''<br />
<br />
''“Oh will you now,” Cor sneers as he steps forward while his creature writhes in pain. I look between then and without a second thought return to the crawl space. I come out at the other side and start to run but then I stop as a critical sounding crack echoes in the dark passageway. Then the crack grows louder and in surprise I find myself falling into the darkest of darkness. There is a sudden flash of light and then darkness engulfs me.''<br />
<br />
''Opening my eyes is painful but as soon as I do so I really honestly wish I hadn’t. Around me were several large spiders, mechanical in nature starting at me, around me was a disconcerting place, that made me feel quite uneasy. Strings of shimmering light cross all over the place in the very large room, give me a terrible sense that I was somewhere where I really shouldn’t be. They move aside and the largest spider ever towers over me and I can’t help but feel fear grow. What were these things?''<br />
<br />
''“Altievia Solitaire, your identity is no more, your existence has changed, and your power has grown.” It says in a decidedly buzzing mechanical voice. “I am Asna Firstborn, Mother of the Patternspiders that control the Loom of Fate. And you are needed.”''<br />
<br />
''A few hundred years later-''<br><br />
''What does a few hundred year old Sidereal girl do? Well normally we do nothing but file reports, deal with prickly and grumpy Solars and Lunars as well as our own bosses, perhaps a demon or two, and run about as if twenty five hours in a day was not enough to get anything done. Yes, that is what I was faced with. Boring, boring, and more boring work. Not even grumpy cactus pants Kejak could shout at me to find it exciting. However I would not conform. This attitude of mine might be why I’m still under the power curve of the rest of my colleagues, perhaps. But who cares. I have slipped the leash, I have fled Yu Shan, sort of. I’m free, well almost.''<br />
<br />
''I sit at the table looking at the emerald green sheet of paper that the Forbidden Manse of Ivy has sent me. It read simply: ‘Disappearance of Scarlet Empress, Discover means, Location, and ensure no one else can capitalize on this information.’ It had one of those official seals from the Forbidden Manse, which meant ignoring was not a safe bet. I take a drink of warm alcohol and sigh. What the message didn’t say was that a group of Solars and some unknowns were gathering all in the same place. The likelihood of their discovering the secret was high, but what else was high, was that no matter where they were adventure was close to follow. With that realization I finish the rest of my drink stand up on the table and begin to dance, my beautiful floating ribbon just daring people to get close, and the boys in the room were quite pleased regardless.''<br />
<br />
The Forbidden Manse of Ivy. It contains and catalogues every secret known to Creation, on the rare occasional secrets from Malfeas may find their way there. But there one secret that no one else knows, filed away, sealed and protected by the Maidens. That secret is Altievia Solitaire. Unknown when she was born, unknown where she was raised, all that is known is that she is sanctioned by the Loom itself. None were too pleased with this, far less was Chejop Kejak who thought this young Chosen of Secrets was more of a problem than a useful one. What is known is that she is much older than the expected, possibly as old as the now missing Scarlet Empress. Unable to remove her, unable to destroy her, the Forbidden Manse merely tolerated her. And she took this attention just so well. Her training was done by the Loom, and so she worked around the broken Bureaucracy of Yu Shan and played her games. The young men and women and the occasional gods of the Cerulean Lute of Harmony found her playful and seductive style attractive, and it would be there among others playing with them.<br />
<br />
For awhile she was uncontrollable, her nature dictated that no work would be done by her. That was until recently. Something awoke in her when the Jade Prison opened. In the deep north east fate fell apart in a section unraveling slowly, a place where the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears had been known to be residing. She pleaded and begged the Forbidden Manse to send her, and reluctantly they did. She did not go alone, but no sooner did she enter area did her own strand of fate begin to flicker and fade along the Loom. The Spiders didn’t seem to care though many viewing the Loom were quite distressed. Not many know what happened there but she did, she had experienced this event not once, but twice, and it bothered her. There she witnessed herself fleeing from the deathknight and his lacky, there she watched until she couldn’t anymore. Her fight against the Deathknight was inconclusive and when her team found her again, and her strand of fate stable, she was wounded greatly.<br />
<br />
She was questioned about the affair and all she could tell them was about a strange device created by the things from the nearby shadowland that had weakened Creation enough to create a large gaping hole into Malfeas. Since that event things have more less returned to how it used to be only know Altievia leaves Yu Shan for months at a time doing occasional jobs and playing about in Creation. As long as she completes the jobs they are happy. Its rare for them to assign her to jobs that send her to deal with demons and Solars and Lunars, but sometimes she is closer than those that would be in Yu Shan. Lately her attention has shifted to a certain group, and her most recent assignment this time has left her with questions, vaguely she believes perhaps this time she’ll have another Sidereal to help her, but if he shows or not she doesn’t care.<br />
<br />
'''First Age Bio:''' During the Primordial War it was known vaguely about the Sidereal that danced and was momentarily consumed by the great Primordial known as Metagos. Being eaten was part of the plan, using powerful charms and martial arts that were then at the time in their infancy she gave the great primordial a stomach ache, and forces all of his devas to suffer essence loss. The daring plan was never to be known, as the solar that forced the Primordial to bow took the credit. But that was fine with her, she had learned a secret from being devoured, and she took that secret with her to her death many millennia later.<br />
<br />
Her name was Emerald Wind Bladed, and she was there behind the scenes in many places. She was an avid collector of secrets even the Forbidden Manse couldn’t at the time keep up with her. Jupiter was proud of the chosen that had taken it upon herself to help the Maiden in her collection of things not known. Many envied her ability and none could match her. Her tenacity to learn and collect secrets was made first to her second love, dance and song. The finest entertainer the Sidereal had seen at the time did not belong to the Serenity Caste. However her time drew to an inevitable close. Late one day Jupiter relayed a secret to her, a secret that froze the woman’s blood and made her worried for the future, but still she couldn’t tell anyone about it. Well not yet. That time came during the Great Gathering, where Chejop Kejak and the Sidereals determined that Prophesy of Bronze was the plan they should most lead towards. Not all appreciated this plan, and several Sidereal perished. Emerald however knew her time had come, she was told of it and so she stole away into Loom found Asna Firstborn and told her the secret she was to die with. Her next Incarnation will not show for another few thousand years, but when it came it will come during a time when Creation and Loom is the weakest, and she will come to prevent the total collapse of the Loom.<br />
<br />
Leaving the Loom she fled to the Solar that she had been advising to warn him of the Usurpation, however her telling only made him more paranoid and he slew her leaving her dead body impaled on an Orihalcum Dire Lance. He would never return to take care of her, nor did he care to. She never regretted telling him, she believed in the Gold Prophesy, she was saddened however to learn that it would not be. <br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Her hair is silky thigh long and jet black with strands shimmering almost metallically with shades of red and blue at the ends, a lock at her forehead is shimmers between red and blue, her complexion is dusky colored, and her emerald green eyes glitter with an eternal hint of pleasure. She is a beautiful woman with large breasts that are pressed tightly by her nearly body tight outfit. The outfit itself is as black as night yet shimmering like metallic silk, with an emerald green decoration that crosses over the top of her breasts, between the low 'V' shaped neckline and the cut out diamond shape under it, showing off some of her breasts. A silken black half skirt is held to her slender waist by a band of gold and is open at the front. She wears a tight form fitting pair of metallic shimmering black shorts. Slender bands of gold wrap around her upper arms, thighs, and ankles. She wears a set of black stiletto boots or a pair of black travelling boots depending on whether or not she felt the need for style or convenience. <br />
<br />

==Personality==<br />
Altievia is a playful optimistic careless young woman who appears to be only in her twenties. Flirtatious at times and she always can't help having a drink or two. Her inhibitions are litterally not there. She cares not if you see her naked, in the bath, or anything, in fact seeing others reaction to this is far more enjoyable than many other things. She is great at keeping secrets too, it annoys alot of people in the Forbidden manse when most of her replies and reports all declare that she can't tell. Most of all she is friendly and easy to get along with, supportive and up beat. Hidden deep inside however is a singular fear, a fear of the deathknights and the tendrils of death that nearly had her twice. <br />

==Background==<br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Floating Ribbon - This weapon was gifted to her by Seven Swords Starbreak upon learning Sapphire Veil of Passion Form, since then the carefree Altievia has cherished and used the weapon in all sorts of situations. <br><br />
ARTIFACT 2 Starmetal Hearthstone Bracers - This artifact was actually found in the Celestial Manse that she was granted upon her success with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
ARTIFACT 4 Infinite Resplendent Amulet (Starmetal/Moonsilver) - This device however was found on her person, and truly the young Sidereal woman didn't realize this small trinket was an artifact until she added motes to it during a dance in the Ceruelan Lute of Harmony.<br><br />
BACKING 2 (Convention on Essence Users) - Since her recovery after the mission that brought her to destroy the Fate Rending Machine she has been assigned to this Convention and she has done well despite her eternally distant actions with Yu Shan as well as her lax and carefree attitude in regards to her jobs.<br><br />
CELESTIAL MANSE 3 (The Golden Secret, Precision of Form gemstone)- This manse was granted to her after her success and thus proving herself to the Bureau of Destiny, with the Fate Rending Machine.<br><br />
SALARY 3 (Hardest worker this Side of Creation, well at least that is many believe, her bosses know otherwise but her completion rate is nearly 100% and so to keep her happy they pay her at this level. She won’t complain about being paid so well.)<br><br />
SIFU 2 (Seven Swords Starbreak- Chosen of Battles, Bronze Faction. Knows: Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, Crane Style, Sapphire Veil of Passion Style) This Chosen of Battles took the unrestrained and sensual Sidereal of Secrets under wing. Despite the control one recieves with Crane Style Altievia has proven to be unchanging. Still the Elder Sidereal works to forge a fine martial artiest out of her, even if Sapphire Veil of Passion is the most advanced thing she will be able to learn.) <br><br />

<div>[[Category:Exalted]][[Category:Dawn_of_the_Third_Age]]<br />
An Exalted PbIM game in the Third Age of Creation, 10 years after the events of [[Once_more_with_feeling|Once More With Feeling]].<br />
=Setting=<br />
<center>''It is Realm Year 778. Ten years ago, the chaos of the Time of Tumult peaked: a mysterious force in Yu-Shan slew numerous gods and nearly the entire Five Score Fellowship before vanishing; the Mask of Winters moved boldly against the Scavenger Lands, plunging Nexus into a shadowland and devastating Great Forks, Greyfalls, and Lookshy; and a second Balorian Crusade swept over Creation from every direction. In that moment of crisis, a group of Solar and Lunar Exalted, having already reclaimed the city of Denandsor, penetrated to the heart of the Sword of Creation and threw back the invading fae, and halted the offensive of the Deathlords. From there, they brought the Realm to heel and turned their efforts to unifying and preparing Creation for the next assault.<br />
<br />
''Despite the growing acceptance of the Celestial Exalted, the Time of Tumult continues. The Deathlords have suffered a setback, but they are readying their next strike. The raksha invasion has been defeated, but the new Celestial Deliberative has only just begun to push back the boundaries of the Wyld, and the agents of the Reclamation have begun carving realms of Yozi-worshippers out of the chaos, coming as saviors and protectors wherever the Celestial Deliberative's power does not yet reach.''<br />
<br />
''There are enemies from within, as well. The Immaculate Order has splintered over the doctrinal reforms imposed by the Realm's new Celestial masters, and even among the Dragon-Blooded who have accepted - or had beaten into them - the truth that Celestial Exalted are not Anathema, many resent to at least some degree the subordinate position they have been forced into. And, of course, the Great Houses and their rivalries still remain - with new rivalries, now that the surviving members of the Lookshy's Seventh Legion are trying to integrate into the new political dispensation.''<br />
<br />
''One bright spot - although it is a secret so far restricted to the Deliberative - is that peaceful contact has been made with the nations of Autochthonia, after a patropolis broke through the Seal of Eight Divinities in the wilderness near Denandsor. Limited amounts of trade and joint magitech research are taking place.''</center><br />

<div>[[Category:Exalted]][[Category:Dawn_of_the_Third_Age]]<br />
An Exalted PbIM game in the Third Age of Creation, 10 years after the events of [[Once_more_with_feeling|Once More With Feeling]].<br />
=Setting=<br />
<center>''It is Realm Year 778. Ten years ago, the chaos of the Time of Tumult peaked: a mysterious force in Yu-Shan slew numerous gods and nearly the entire Five Score Fellowship before vanishing; the Mask of Winters moved boldly against the Scavenger Lands, plunging Nexus into a shadowland and devastating Great Forks, Greyfalls, and Lookshy; and a second Balorian Crusade swept over Creation from every direction. In that moment of crisis, a group of Solar and Lunar Exalted, having already reclaimed the city of Denandsor, penetrated to the heart of the Sword of Creation and threw back the invading fae, and halted the offensive of the Deathlords. From there, they brought the Realm to heel and turned their efforts to unifying and preparing Creation for the next assault.<br />
<br />
''Despite the growing acceptance of the Celestial Exalted, the Time of Tumult continues. The Deathlords have suffered a setback, but they are readying their next strike. The raksha invasion has been defeated, but the new Celestial Deliberative has only just begun to push back the boundaries of the Wyld, and the agents of the Reclamation have begun carving realms of Yozi-worshippers out of the chaos, coming as saviors and protectors wherever the Celestial Deliberative's power does not yet reach.''<br />
<br />
''There are enemies from within, as well. The Immaculate Order has splintered over the doctrinal reforms imposed by the Realm's new Celestial masters, and even among the Dragon-Blooded who have accepted - or had beaten into them - the truth that Celestial Exalted are not Anathema, many resent to at least some degree the subordinate position they have been forced into. And, of course, the Great Houses and their rivalries still remain - with new rivalries, now that the surviving members of the Lookshy's Seventh Legion are trying to integrate into the new political dispensation.''<br />
<br />
''One bright spot - although it is a secret so far restricted to the Deliberative - is that peaceful contact has been made with the nations of Autochthonia, after a patropolis broke through the Seal of Eight Divinities in the wilderness near Denandsor. Limited amounts of trade and joint magitech research are taking place.''</center><br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />
<br><br><br />
In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

Oh Ixut…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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 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.

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />
<br><br><br />
In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />
<br><br><br />
In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />
<br><br><br />
In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />
<br><br><br />
In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

That final day, my last before my newest first, the ground shook and terrible groans echoed throughout the area.

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.<br />

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.

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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

In Creation (or using the Integrated Artifact Transmorgrifier) Ruby looks as such: <br />

Oh Ixut…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />

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.

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.<br />

'''Concept:''' Eyes, Ears, and Sword of the Divine Ministers (Assassin/Infiltrator)<br><br />
'''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. <br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
* 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.<br />

==History==<br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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…<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br><br><br />
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.<br />
<br />
