Name: Ishmea Demon-Touched
Age: 51 (Cursed to stop aging, looks about 20)
Species: Genasi (firesoul and cindersoul[corrupted manifestation])
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Profession: Ex-court Mage/Battlemage (Served previous king)
Special Abilities: Has magic based upon planar travel, elemental forces, healing, and corruption. Her manifestations allow her to burn enemies that attack her directly and soften an attack to be mostly ineffective. (Manifestation abilities cannot be used more than once per 5 minutes)
Weaknesses: Corruption causes her spellcasting and presence to show up as extremely evil for those that perceive such things. Spells are visually corrupt looking. Blind, but she has a minor special power to see elemental auras of living creatures within 60 feet of her. This ability does not allow her to tell differences between creatures besides general size and strength of aura and can be obscured by things such as thick smoke or physical objects in the way. Corruption has made her hermaphroditic, thus making her wary of others seeing her without clothing.
Personality: Careful, gentle, driven, tenacious, fiery, dominant and manipulative as needed
Background: Ishmea was born a pure firesoul genasi and developed magical talents from an early age. By the age of 18, she had mastered elemental and healing magic. This prowess was offset by her natural blindness to all but the elemental auras of people near her. The old king heard of her ability and called for her to come replace his dying court mage. She took up the job and moved into the keep. There, she began doing experiments and magical studies for the king. As the king aged and his health declined, he increasingly sought Ishmea out for eldritch help. She had to delve deeper and deeper into magic, eventually being forced to travel to other planes for exotic ingredients and counsel. On one of these trips, her spell failed partially and threw her off course. She was thrust into a demonic plane. Her elemental nature was touched by the plane, causing her body to transform and become partially corrupted. She gained certain attributes of a male. Her footsteps left smoky tendrils for a time after she passed. She always smelled faintly of brimstone. Her spells, no matter how benevolent, took on demonic characteristics. Her energy lines disappeared from her body except when she is angered, in combat, or casting spells. Her skin became paler.
Despite her demonic encounter, the king chose to keep her as court mage, likely realizing she was corrupted in the process of trying to help him. Regardless of her corruption, she still remained the mentor and teacher of the princes. When the king finally split the kingdom, she was quietly asked to leave. She wasn't allowed to tell the now three kings goodbye or what happened. She works hard to try and gain an audience with each king to tell them that she still lives and why the nobles pushed her out. Possibly, and hopefully to her, she hopes one of them will invite her to be their court mage. She has basically given up on finding anyone willing to be with her as her corruption tends to put most people off.
Other: Knows all three kings personally and mentored them in academic affairs. Does not seek a relationship partially out of fear and partially out of knowledge that few would want a demon-touched person like her. Skilled in weapon and armor use.
Height: Stands at 6'8"
