Name: Elena Lilya Rocdon
Race: Human
Age: 23
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Appearance: Elena is 5'7" and in good shape, although her physical strength is a little lacking. Her skin is very lightly tanned. Her hair is long (halfway down her back), wavy, and dark brown. Her eyes, a similar shade of dark brown, are wide and almond-shaped. Altogether, her face is a portrait of symmetry, with high, arched brows and high cheekbones. Her mannerisms, however, are her most defining feature: she engages confidently in social situations, speaks in soft and pleasing tones, and nearly always has a smile (or a hint of one) playing on her lips. She prefers to wear fine and sensual clothing with limited jewelry.
Specialty: Socializing, persuading, supporting. Elena, as a priestess of the goddess of love, has been well-trained in the arts of social graces and charm. Furthermore, the magical abilities bestowed by her goddess allow her to heal and inspire others.
Weakness: Elena may be limber and fit, but she's not strong, a fact which would make her something of a liability in melee. Although she is a decent shot with a sling, her combat abilities are minimal; she is relegated almost entirely to a supporting role. Moreover, Elena has never been in a real fight before, and probably would find one to be a little troubling.
Personality Traits: Charming and cultured, Elena enjoys finery and refuses to compromise her appearance for the sake of safety. Her vanity can get in the way of practicality.
Ideals: Power, oddly enough, is Elena's primary motivator. Although she does not outright think so, she subconsciously believes that the world would be a better place if people just loved each other and followed her example. She uses her specialties to their best advantage by swaying people toward peace and harmony. Unfortunately, this ideal also has a negative side: Elena thrives on attention and sensuality, and she secretly loves "controlling" people through the force of her personality.
Bonds: Elena loves her deity and her church. Through her own actions, she hopes to spread the influence of her goddess.
Flaws: The same traits which grant Elena her strengths also bring some considerable flaws. She can be vain and impractical, but these negatives are minor in comparison to her greatest flaw: her desires for attention and sensuality are generally insatiable. Although her parents hoped for her to marry years ago, Elena instead became a priestess; initially, this decision was made simply to allow herself to engage in various pleasures without social recourse. Elena quickly began to love her church for its ideals, but her traits have remained largely unchanged: she still feels very uncomfortable about the prospect of long-term relationships, and even long-term friendships make her feel a need for escape.
Hooks: So, given all of the above, why would this sort of person ever wind up adventuring? Currently, Elena is quite happy in Blackdawn. She flits from one social gathering to another, lives comfortably (primarily through donations from amorous people), attempts to spread her church's influence, and does good deeds for her community. She is certainly not the ideal adventurer---she has never been in a fight, nor does she know much about the traveling lifestyle. What she does have, though, is information; it is very interesting what one can hear at a party of nobles or what one can learn from a seduced man. Perhaps she has learned something recently that she cannot ignore, in all good conscience. Or, she could simply fall into adventuring through some sort of catastrophe---say, a disaster in a public space, or an interrupted social gathering. Elena is certainly not adverse to the idea of traveling far from Blackdawn---she could spread her goddess' influence across the world, and better yet, meet all sorts of fascinating people out there. She may just need a little push to get there.
