Namari
High Priestess Namari Mortellan (a.k.a. Nam/Mother of Ravens)
Namari is a middle-aged Moon-touched Elf turned half Pallbearer after receiving the honor to become Nandipha's own High-Priestess.
Although not as magically gifted as the likes of Samara or Catastrophe, she's been proven to be quite adept at grasping different schools of magic. Learning Death or black magic from her own divine, Nandipha. Light magic from the Goddess' mother: Francine. And dabbling in Nature magic from her people's own patron, Coraxol.
Her main role under Nandipha is to be her eyes and ears, keeping her informed of all the comings and goings in Midgard and neighboring realms with her network of spy Ravens (To which she refers as her little helpers) while also being her mouthpiece at times, delivering messages to the other divines or their agents.
The Elf often jokes that Coraxol blessed her with a heart capable of outpouring so much love she'd quite literally explode if she didn't lavish it on all her loved ones which ecompasses most of the people she knows! She's incredibly affectionate and supportive, and loves nothing more than to make people smile. She adores the concept of Motherhood and will "mother" most of the people she cares about. Thankfully the sentiment is tempered with a great respect for consent and one's boundaries whether mental of physical. The Mother of Ravens is also a dedicated and talented cook, her many years learning from her own mom and then subsequently cooking for her family bolstered by Nandipha and Samara 's tutelage in the culinary arts enable her to confidently fill anyone's bellies and leave them more than satisfied. Which always proves to make her more than happy.
Her duties to Nani has her travel all over Eon but she usually can be found residing in Dross and Altair where she runs a restaurant.
Physical Description
Body Features
Namari stands at a very average 6'1 for an Elven woman. However Moon Elves were blessed by Coraxol's bounty and as such their women were gifted figures resembling the Fertility Goddess. Her figure is eye-catching in the extreme, bountiful with large breasts that permanently lactate, big enough to obscure most of her chest paired with a wide frame for even wider hips and a posterior to lose one's fingers in.
Like all Moon-Touched, her skin is as pale as the moon while her eyes are an opaque black with no Iris present. Her short-kept hair is Raven black. She's usually observed wearing very revealing outfits, a commonplace in her home of Aldion where the Moon Goddess' worship encourages the Moon-Touched to be very sexually active and transparent with their shows of love. Her voice is very mature and maternal atop being sing-song and exuding kindness.
Physical quirks
- Namari smells and tastes of Meringue. This includes her milk and cum
- Her Ilkathan accent is mostly absent unless she's either overjoyed or dealing with a very stressful situation
Special abilities
After her ascension, Namari was granted an Undying Soul. Which strengthens it beyond usual mortal limits, making it incredibly resilient coupled with the ability to regenerate itself. She was also bequeathed Crescent from Rinvel after becoming one of her Pactsworn. Crescent is a sickle and potent magical focus with the ability to undertake a lenghty ritual able to separate souls from their bodies, usually employed to send them to Delirium or conduct exorcisms.
Through a bit of experimentation, the Priestess was able to excise portions of her soul from itself which through its undying nature reconstituted themselves as entirely additional bodies of herself she refers to as "Shades". These bodies are identical to hers in every aspect, except a few details: small Raven wings sprout above their ears and cross themselves in front of their eyes. Her other selves are unable to undertake complicated actions or thoughts. Nam can experience all they see and hear and can command them with her thoughts, they also house all of her magical power and can cast magic independantly from her. She is able to swap places with them at any time, instantly and over any distance. If left unatended, the Shades will simply do their best to survive or do their utmost to complete any uncompleted task.
They are a cornerstone of Namari's information network and it is very common for most of them to be scattered over all the realms on information gathering duties or guarding certain key locations while also easing communication between the divines. As of now, she can summon and sustain 5 shades at once, which once grouped together can make the Priestess become a force much more powerful than the sum of her parts, making her a respectable opponent for any who would dare defy Nandipha's will. Many mistake them for "Clones" or "Simulacrum" but Namari compares them more to additional limbs, they are not separate versions of herself but instead extensions. Just like a bird's wings or a feline's tail.
Apparel & Accessories
She never foregos a set of Silver bracelets gifted to her by her husband and a simple necklace adorned by a Raven skull received from Nandipha no matter the day or occasion.
The most common adornments Nam will usually be seen wearing are either a casual outfit inspired by Aldion dresses ordered by Samara and crafted by Vanguard's own Plum, or her High priestess robes created by Nandipha herself. Both are egregiously revealing and leave very little to the imagination, as one would expect from them being based on Aldion couture.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born a single child from a community of Moon-Touched residing in Aldion (A village built atop a mountain range past the norhernmost river of Vicelerno's island), Namari enjoyed a nurturing and loving upbringing. Her mother, a devout worshipper of Coraxol, instilled in her the importance of treating the world with kindness and the nurturing of new life. Whether it be within nature or themselves through their children. An amazing cook, her mother's skills were passed onto hers and she grew to be just as renowned within their community for her mouth-watering dishes. Her subset of meals greatly bolstered by the Moon-touched's culturally varied community of different species.
She spent a few years cooking for a local inn before meeting what she would refer to as her soulmate, Robusto Mortellan. The short and seemingly unimpressive Elven man, a member of Aldion's millitia and a guard of its walls was absolutely smitten with the blossoming woman and her kind and joyous nature. In turn, she admitted she had eyes only for him, her heart swayed by his earnestness and gentle nature. They very quickly married and dedicated their love entirely to one another, something exceedingly rare among Moon-touched, but anyone witnessing the couple doting on one another could ever have doubts as to why they would limit themselves to one partner.
Equally as quickly, they were blessed with a child. A sturdy and energetic boy they named Aurelio which roughly translates to "The golden one", in this case refering to a bright and golden future. They enjoyed many a years as a family, which Nam refers to this day as what she believes Heaven to be like. Her Husband would do his rounds and man the walls, sometimes bringing young Aurelio with him while Nam ran something of a "restaurant" out of their Kitchen window. Many Moon-touched came to trade any necessity they could spare for some of the Mother's cooking as she wouldn't accept any of their hard-earned money.
Aurelio grew into a powerfuly built young man, eclipsing his father's somewhat stocky stature and with his training quickly joined him in the ranks of Aldion's millitia, making his parents beyond proud. The good times were sadly not meant to last, on a particularly scorching day of Summer, a Daevah force attracted by the Moon Mother's imprint on the community ravaged the less than prepared Moon-touched. Aldion was almost razed off the map and its people put up a stalwart defence despite being severly overpowered by the monstrosities. The amount of lives lost was staggering, most of the millitia perished in the attack which was only repelled by the intervention of Coraxol's own servants. To Namari's endless despair, both her beloved boys were lost in the melee.
Grief-stricken, the widow barely ever left her room. Only accepting to eat per her family's pleas and wallowing in her despair. A gaping hole present where her heart ought to be. Her depression leading the woman down a desperate path. A fated meeting with a less than savoury Arcanist during a rare foray out of her home led to her aquisition of a necromantic tome. Spending many months obsessing over the process of reanimating the dead, she steeled her resolve and believing she had nothing left to lose, the woman set out to the recently rebuilt cemetary to undertake her grisly and heretical work. Where she was thankfully stopped by a merciful Nandipha who manged to stop the woman from exhuming the corpses of her loved ones and halt her heresy. After learning of the loss that led Namari to stoop so low, Nani agreed to allow the Elf to speak to the spirits of her beloved husband and child one last time. During their bittersweet reunion, the would-be Priestess was assured by her loved ones that they wished her nothing more than to live for herself from then on, suggesting she should embrace her wish to care for others and embrace love yet again. After an incredibly difficult final goodbye, Namari prosterned herself before the Goddess of Death and vowed to serve her in any way as thanks for the immeasurable kindness she had bestowed unto her.
Under the tutelage of many great individuals including Nani herself and Samara the Archbishop, Nam would grow into her new position as Death's own High-Priestess. Eventually even reaching ascension per Nandipha's own request after her worry regarding Namari's frequent forays away from both her and Helheim.
Sexuality
Moon-touched are very extroverted with their sexuality and as such Namari is very open to speaking about anything romantic and has had enjoyed the company of quite a few lovers in her time. She does not actively seek to be intimate with everyone she encouters however, Moon-touched are simply more prone to be receptive to advances of the people they love and are known to keep friends with many benefits, and Nam is no different.
In the act itself, the Elf proves to be incredibly accomodating. She is fiercely pansexual and will lay with partners of any species or gender. She has no preference towards either being assertive or submissive, instead focusing entirely on pleasing her partners in any way she can. Her empathic sense being so developped that any pleasure reflected in the behavior of her pampered lovers feed back into herself, very often bringing her at the height of climaxes solely by admistrating her love to them. Although able to adapt to their partner's preferences, Nam prefers romantic, affectionate sex over any other. The kind involving an abundance of physical affection, prolonged eye contact with heaps upon heaps of kissing.
Her favorite acts include but are not limited to:
- Kissing
- Hugging
- Hand-holding
- Titfucks
- Nursing
- Mating Press
- Blowjob/Throatfucking
- Doggystyle
Employment
Namari's main duty is to aid the Goddess of death to the best of her ability. She mainly accomplishes this by being Nandipha's eyes, ears and mouthpiece in all the realms outside Delirium. As mentioned previously, her vast network of Raven spies and her own Shades are the main tools by which she undertakes this task, being able to be present in most realms at once while keeping track of any gossip and comings and goings of influential figures. She's primarily focusing on keeping tabs on the Cult of the Quasar in recent times.
Otherwise, she runs an Ilkathan restaurant in Dross and Altair by the name of the Raven's nest where all Vanguard members are served free of charge. Whenever she's unable to run the place herself due to being out and about on divine duties, a Shade runs the establishment in her stead.
The High Priestess sometimes resides in the Palace of Death itself. Usually for very important matters where Nandipha would rather speak with her personally or simply when Nam misses her and wants to spend time in her beloved company. They often spend days decorating the palace with Death Lilies and other various flowers populating the abyssal fields.
Accomplishments & Achievements
- Satiated Cayenne's endless hunger.
- Cooked what was refered to as a beyond perfect arancini.
- Prevented multiple disastrous Daevah attacks by tipping off VANGUARD and other assocations of their approximate time and location of occurences.
- Has excised a significant branch of the Cult of the Quasar in Ilkatha which planned to puppeteer the current president to their own ends.
Mental Trauma
After losing the love of her life, she's returned to a more traditional Moon-Touched romantic life. Having multiple partners which she adores equally. She's currently unable to imagine herself ever settling down in a married relationship again however, due to remaining grief for her spouse and child.
Morality & Philosophy
Nam fiercely respects Nandipha's tenets and enforces them dutifully, believing it to be the least she could do for the woman who pulled her from a dark path. She's also known to love everyone she meets quasi unconditionally, although she realizes that the world is a cruel and dark place where good nature is often abandoned in favor of survival to the fittest, she would rather be a beacon of comfort and support for the people around her and take their mind away from their every day struggles.
A powerful sense of motherhood instilled in her by her people's idolization of Coraxol's teachings and her own experience as a loving mother guarantees she would rather die than to see her loved ones to be hurt. This behavior is the primary reason Nani has had her ascend after granting her a more resilient soul.
