A beast of a man, born of his sins and misery, Khest holds on to his past as part of his curse, a curse he brought upon himself. He remembers his past and all too well, but cares not to seek forgiveness for it, for he is hollow inside, his heart now a tomb.

Dark Misery

Date: 2008-07-24 18:11 EST
((This is an NPC, and the following is information that pertains to Misery Soltaire. Misery is unaware of this information, and remembers nothing of what is posted.))

Name: Druinia k' Alldain, Princess of the Dark Fae.

Age:: 725 at the time of her death. Death was at her own hand, starvation and poison.

Gender:Female

Race: Fae royalty

Origin: Long time ally to the Forest of Misery. Long time resident, protector, and Princess to the Dark Fae that reside within it. Mother to a daughter whom was taken from her. Druinia spurned the advances of Khest as he became king, and unwittingly fell into the hands of a cruel General in his army. Druinia was beaten, raped, and became with-child with the human. Accepting her fate in order to protect her daughter, aptly named Misery, she lived in psuedo-obedience to the General. When she witnessed the man beating his own daughter and making sexual advances towards her at the tender age of 5, Druinia killed the man. Khest, taking pity on the fae despite his anger at her for spurrning him, allowed her to live; taking her daughter from her as punishment. Her entire family, however, was killed. Druinia and her lost daughter remained the sole heirs to the Fae throne in the Forest of Misery. That daughter was sent to live within Rhy'Din City, deposited on the doorstep of Mage couple, her mind having been warped and washed of all memory, except her name. Before Misery was ripped from her arms, a Ghost Elf and King Khest's Lord Chancellor, Carawin, spoke a prophesy. Carawin and Druinia had loved each other for a long time, they were friends since childhood, but never had the luxury of each other's arms. He spoke a true prophesy, fearing no retribution as he had the King's ear and was a loyal member of his court. He warned of Misery's return, and he warned that the child would return, bringing with her great change, for both the kingdom and Khest, for she would be the sole being whom could melt his heart. The prophesy was a memory now, none truly remember all that was said. Carawin knew, and Khest, but they were not telling.

Powers/gifts: Dark Fae. Wicked and cruel by race and upbringing, but motherhood had softened her harshness. Vampiric in nature, both by blood and psychically. Powerful nature witch, shape-shifting abilities.

Appearacne: The following is the last known image to ever be taken of Druinia. It was recorded by her sister (later murdered by Khest) in order to give to the daughter, Misery, upon her prophesied eventual return to The Forest of Misery. It was recorded moments after the murder and devouring of Misery's father. Both Mother and Daughter partook of his blood, taking with it his power.

Present Location: Locked within a tower, lost behind rotting tapestries, Druinia's body decomposed. She refused to help Khest in life, so her freedom was taken from her. A far worse fate for a Fae than death. Her ghost, unresting in death, wanders the halls and towers of Khest's home, wailing for her daughter, crying out for justice, and laughing at Khest's pain.

Dark Misery

Date: 2008-07-24 18:49 EST
Name: Misery London Soltaire

Age: Unknown, appears to be approx. 23-25.

Race: Unknown

Appearance:
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/VinylValentine/newcharrieportrait3.jpg

Misery has bright purple eyes, brilliant hair that matches this shade, but she dyes it black. Her race is unknown to her, but due to hair and eye color, her adoptive parents had thought her to be Fae in nature. She is slender and petite, but fierce of heart, and loyal.

History: Misery was found on the doorstep of two Mages at the age of 5, remembering nothing but her first name. She was taken in and adopted by the aging couple, and raised as their own. She exhibited no powers, yet they were sure she had to be Fae. Timid, yet loving and loyal to her new family and community, Misery was raised and taught as if she were a young noblewoman, learning music, reading, writing, and finding great joy in poetry.

Her adoptive parents were killled when she was blossoming, at the age of 14, by an archmage who had taken the left hand path. She was tossed into the slave quarters at first, being mistaken for a witchling child, a mistake of nature.

She soon dyed her hair and learned to cook, clean, and grovel like the other slaves. She was hidden among them, protected by them, until her eyes caught the eye of Kushien, the evil Archmage. He took notice, as well, of her unusual submissiveness to the lash and whip, seeing her wait with baited breath for the pain that would follow. Knowing what he had on his hands, he had her sent to the harem-like commune of pleasure slaves he kept, ordering her to be trained in all erotic arts.

Special attention was paid to her training in bondage, domination, and subbmission; the last bringing her the only comfort she had known in years. By submitting completely her will to another, Misery felt at peace. She was also further trained in languages, ettiquette, and intrigue. Misery's Master, Kushien, protstituted her out in order to learn secrets and plans of other Lords, Kings, and Mages. She exhibited some talent for magick, mostly minor shape shifting and a sudden taste for blood, but mainly during moments of extreme duress.

Misery was freed when Kushien was killed, along with the rest of his slaves. She wanders, unowned, unloved, and unhappy to be free.

Location:Lost, but drawn inexplicably towards something she has yet to discern.

Strengths: Misery is a true submissive, probably to her core. She is at peace when her will is given to that of another completely. She resishes the lash, the crop, and the flachettes. Knives hold a special thrill for her, as does the sight of her own blood against her pale, naked flesh. She wears gloves to hide the scars that criss cross her forearms and wrists, scars from years of self-cutting in order to achieve orgasm and, more imporatantly, relief.

Misery is extremely intelligent, trained as spy as well as courtesean, and can act as a dominant if that is what is wished of her. She does not have a high tolerance for pain, no, she has something far better...pleasure is derived through pain for her, making her the perfect anguisette.

Misery has discovered minor magickal abilities in moments of terror, but has kept most of them to herself. The lengths and extent of her abilities is not yet known. Minor shape-shifiting, mostly shifts in appearance such as eye color, hair, minor body shapes. She no longer dyes her hair, using her magick to turn it black, hiding the brilliant purple of her natural shade.

Weaknesses: Some of Misery's strengths are also her weaknesses. Her need to be dominated, her desire for pain mingled with pleasure, and her emptiness unless filled with another's will makes her extremely unhappy most of the time. Joy is not a common thing for her. Though needing cruetly, Misery does not respond well to a Master or Mistress that is overtly cruel, as it brings on moments of blood red vision, remnants of memories of slaughter and war. These are true memories, but Misery thinks them only visions and delerium.
