__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description
Aspect of Gorgon by Willian MuraiHasina is a slender, shapely Essyrni woman who looks younger than her thirty-four years of age. She has the dark skin, full lips, and wide eyes characteristic of Essyrni women, and keeps her dark brown hair into long, thick braids.
Hasina's typical outfit consists of of a faded purple shawl over a backless white blouse, a thin, slitted gray skirt, and simple leather sandals.
PersonalityHasina lives life as lightly and freely as possible. Consequences are just problems for her future self, and she does not envy that woman – she indulges in wine, dance, and the company of beautiful young individuals as much as she can. In particular, she is a notoriously poor spender and reckless gambler, which has gotten her into her fair share of trouble.
Underneath this hedonistic exterior is a broken woman who deeply resents her harsh, isolated, and heavily religious upbringing. Although she initially only hated her family of demon worshipers, Hasina learned to feel the exact same way towards any zealot of any faith. And in general, she cannot stand those with rigid modes of thinking.
Hasina's normally carefree disposition changes remarkably when matters concern her daughter Katyasa. Hasina is remarkably protective of her daughter, and does everything she can for Katyasa's sake – she may regret this parenting style in the future, but that's just a problem for her future self.
MagicBy virtue of possessing Zahhakis's blood, Hasina can call upon some of the dread aspects of her ancestor – albeit in a sharply limited form.
Aspect of Dread – With the Aspect of Dread, Hasina can assume the visage of her demonic ancestor to induce the fear of death into up to ten perceived targets within a sixty-foot radius. This does not work on artificial creatures or creatures that do not possess an innate fear of death.
Aspect of Shadow – With the Aspect of Shadow, Hasina can assume a black smoke-like form. In this form, she is intangible and difficult to see in darkness or low light. She cannot attack or manifest any of the other Aspects while in this form, and must rematerialize in a process that takes about six seconds.
Aspect of Carnage – With the Aspect of Carnage, Hasina can conjure two shadowy blades in her hands at will almost instantaneously. These blades disappear when they are not in contact with her.
Aspect of Brutality – With the Aspect of Brutality, Hasina can amplify her strength, speed, and durability with her natural magical reserves. The greater the increase, the more magic she needs to expend.
Aspect of Damnation – With the Aspect of Damnation, Hasina can conjure blasts of hellfire, either in a single-target line or in a cone. The narrower the blast, the greater the force.
Katyasa does not possess any magical abilities yet.
AbilitiesAssassination Skills – Hasina is an expert at stealth and subterfuge, and is knowledgeable of the use of various poisons.
Combat Conditioning – Hasina is a master of every weapon common in Essyrn. She has also mastered various forms of unarmed combat.
Katyasa is by all respects a regular nine-year-old girl.
RelationshipsTBD.
HistoryNestled deep in the Moraki Desert is a temple dedicated to the great demon Zahhakis, who once took human form and mated with a woman to create demon-blooded sorcerer descendants. These demon-blooded descendants would act as Zahhakis's agents in the mortal realm, carrying out dark rites and assassinations for their ancestor. They propagated themselves for generations by seducing outsiders into mating with them, then siring a child with which they would abscond.
Many generations after their ancestor first took human form, the ir'Zahhakis – as they became known – stopped receiving communications from their ancestor and master. Without their demonic god to guide them, the Zahhakis eventually became thieves and assassins for hire, although some still kept the faith and all continued their traditions of propagation and subsequent kidnapping.
It was in this age of uncertainty that Hasina was born, the union of an ir'Zahhakis mother and a wealthy Essyrni merchant. Trained since birth to be a natural assassin and warrior-mage, Hasina endured torturous alchemical conditioning and harsh training to become a living weapon. All of this, of course, was in service to her clan – and none of it was her choice. She was destined to lead this life from the day she was born.
Of course, Hasina hated this rigid upbringing. Every night for as long as she could remember, she dreamed of escaping from her family and its traditions. So at eighteen, while on an assignment, she abandoned her cousins and never came back.
Hasina's life has been an adventuress's life since then. She made significant sums of money adventuring and wasted said sums just as quickly – this has created a trail of creditors who are currently on her tail. She made many friends and connections throughout Le'ranna, but never settled down for more than half a year. Well, almost never.
Two years after leaving her family, Hasina found herself with child. No-one knows who the true father is, not even Hasina herself; there were roughly four strapping young male candidates, and the relevant instances were driven entirely by loveless desire. All she knows is that the father gave their daughter Katyasa strong Adelan features. It isn't relevant to her, anyway.
Hasina and Katyasa now flit from place to place, never staying so far – for fear of the other ir'Zahhakis and the many creditors Hasina has managed to anger. Of course, Hasina isn't giving up her lifestyle any time soon...
