Isran

Isran Ashenta (a.k.a. Isabella Montague)

She looks like any other traveler you might meet on the road: not too tall, sturdy build, dusty clothes. But she could set you on fire with a snap of her fingers if you gave her reason to.

Body Features

Facial Features

The angles of her face are fairly soft, but her features are fairly pronounced. Her lips are a little thin and her mouth is wide. She always has a serious expression, her brows angled down a little over her eyes.

Special abilities

As a God King, she is essentially immortal. It would be almost impossible to truly kill her, as she is super-humanly strong and durable.

Instead she utilizes her formidable magical abilities, using elemental magic to ensure no opponent will get close enough to discover her godhood.

She wears dark trousers and a red shirt. Over that she wears a cloak with a swirling red and black pattern. She carries a pack over shoulder.

Specialized Equipment

She has a staff marked with arcane runes, and in her bag she keeps several texts and magical tomes.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

She was born in the Ashlands before the fall. In her original life she was a devoted subject of Ashmuri, and served under him as a lieutenant. As with many of his officers, she ascended to a form of "godhood". In the final days of the great exodus she betrayed him to the monks and then went into hiding. She has lived transiently since, trying to avoid forming strong connections. During this time her morality and outlook on humanity shifted, and she has come to care deeply about her fellow humans. This has led her to investigate a string of mysterious murders in the western segment of The Republic with the backing of the council.

Failures & Embarrassments

Intellectual Characteristics

She is very intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable. She enjoys knowing things, and always strives to keep her information up to date.

Morality & Philosophy

She has come to appreciate each human life as precious and worthwhile in its own way, in direct opposition to the ideology of the God Kings.

She does not believe that there is any grand end goal to existence, but instead that things only have meaning so long as one is present in them.
