Ebon Skull Archives: Pandora the Fallen

From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki

This is reposted from OES documentation for the pleasure of the Atlantic Community. Story by Pandora the Fallen of OES.

Pandora was born to a minor noble family in Magincia. She was not the first born, and thus not an heir. Her upbringing was the usual for her position: reading and writing, sewing, music, running a large house hold, the etiquette of court, and a little sword play. Her teachers were the best her rank could afford. Always a willful child, Pandora exercised her privileges as far as she could. Any servant who did a sloppy job would be yelled at, and perhaps fired on the spot with no second chance. A rude servant would have cuts and bruises to boot. One particularly short tempered one once lost his temper and dared to yell back. She was pushed out of a third story window, and died. The incident was hushed by the family, and the servant was resurrected and paid off handsomely. Pandora was punished, but took it with unusual meekness. She had never seen a death before, or such powerful magics used. It was not out of fear, guilt or disgust that she was quiet, it was curiosity. She snuck a look at the old body. Death and magic. She had heard rumors of necromancy, and its power. Not a power bound by birth position. She had always considered her older brother, the heir, to be weak and unsuited to power. In the past, she had made a feeble attempt to take his position by trying to convince the other nobles he was unfit. But through death magics, she could realize REAL power. In that instant, she lost all interest in petty politicking. She went to Moonglow as quickly as she could, and began to study magics with a fever. In her search for the darker magics, she has carved bodies, drunk blood and attempted to summon dark spirits. She even killed a thief, thinking perhaps because of his dark nature, his death would contain something useful. She managed to keep most of her practices quiet. While she was gone, her father retired, and her brother inherited his lands and title. He promptly called the others in his position and convinced them Pandora was dangerous, and might possible try to take power through assassination. They agreed, and she was stripped of her title and wealth. Even though she had lost interest in taking her brothers position, she was furious. Cut off from her allowance and having found no true necromancy, she was lost in Moonglow. Until she heard of a dark group of Necromancers called the Order of the Ebon Skull....

Pandora is beautiful, with dark skin and hair. She is also arrogant, and will not suffer grunt work quietly. She has a weakness for beauty, both the 'dark' and 'light' kinds. And though she has been stripped of her title, still considers herself to be a noble. She dislikes playing politics, but will if need be.
