August Windchime

Princess August Sandria Ather (a.k.a. Windchime)

Long ago, when the Aasimar empires still held power, August Windchime was born into the ruling Ather family. Her memories are fuzzy, but she believes that was around 15000 years ago.   As an Aasimar, she is functionally immortal and has kept her current form for thousands of years. She uses her immortality to continue the search for her family, who she swears escaped during the Aasimar collapse.

Physical Description

Body Features

Her skin is pale, almost Albino, and quite bright in the deserts of Merratak. Her veins, if observed closely, also glow dimly, even during the daytime.

Facial Features

Pointed, similar to a Fey or Elf, which is generally the accepted form of a Mortal Aasimar.

Identifying Characteristics

Her ears point outwardly from her head, similarly to an elf, although this could be by choice or because she is an Aasimar. She can also be described as Radiant.

Special abilities

As a Sorceress, August has a high attunement to magic, especially magic that originates in the Divine. She can also call upon powers usually reserved for a cleric, perhaps derived from her ancestry.

Apparel & Accessories

Due to her lack of grasp on the passage of time, it's likely that August has worn through much of her clothing over her thousands of years of exodus. When we first meet her, however, she is wearing simple leathers and a hooded cloak to protect from the sun. She also wears a tiara on her head at all times.

Specialized Equipment

Although she does wear some leathers, her most common equipment consists of her tiara, which is her spellcasting focus.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Secretly a fallen Aasimar pretending to be an elf due to the lack of her kind, she believes she’s the only one left. Her family was killed when she was very young – millennia ago. She ran away as her parent’s empire crumbled apart and eventually wants to rebuild this empire but must become stronger and find people she can truly trust; she struggles with this due to the death of her family and how they were killed by a close friend. Her mother gave her the tiara and taught her sorcery when she became old enough though since her mother died she had to teach herself – the crystal lodged in her tiara is her arcane focus. Her father taught her to protect herself with basic combat and trickery – she can easily convince someone into thinking they’re from a different planet or a completely different person.   She got a pet mouse at a carnival once and has been her only companion since. She suffers from monophobia because of all the time she spent alone, the mouse is something that keeps her thoughts at bay, so she can focus on building the empire – however she still struggles with being alone and hates huge crowds unless she’s with friends – though she still must make friends. She must stay in hiding to protect her as she knows she’s in danger of everyone.

Sexuality

Asexual

Education

Unknown, although she can read and write, suggesting she has some education.

Accomplishments & Achievements

She survived the collapse of the ancient Aasimar empires, which ended in the deaths and/or transcendence of the rest of her species.

Failures & Embarrassments

She failed to save her family during the fall of the Aasimar empires and refuses to believe that they may be dead.

Mental Trauma

After years of being alone, she has developed Monophobia, although she still finds it difficult to trust others.

Intellectual Characteristics

She is a talented Sorceress, although her powers are often unpredictable and uncontrollable, suggesting that she learnt more through luck than formal teaching.

Morality & Philosophy

The world of the present is just another blur of history to her - all she knows is that her family need to be rescued, and that is her only goal. As such, she is Chaotic neutral, although she sometimes leans towards Chaotic Good.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

She wants to find her family, and possibly save them if they are in danger. This is what lead her to Merratak - she believes there could be clues to finding them there.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Other than the growing party, August has no contacts, instead preferring to stay far out of the way of others. She has been accepted by Wood Elf tribes a couple of times, although they soon learn of her heritage and send her on her way.

Family Ties

She adamantly believes her parents and siblings still live. Although she cannot be sure, she refuses to accept that they are dead.

Wealth & Financial state

Aside from the clothes of her back, she holds nothing, mostly because she doesn't care for currency aside from the sustenance it brings her.
