In-game Bio
Born to into prestige and wealth she knew she would want for nothing. Her family built their fortunes on lies and blood but to those on the outside they were paragon of the wood elves. She would be a star atop centuries of deceit and betrayals as her family hid their vampiric heritage better than any other. In order to survive she had to live a life divorced from simple pleasures and train her mind to be as sharp as her fangs.
…
She was destined to live an endless life of monotony chosen for her by the elders of her family and in service to dead gods. She could not bare the thought centuries passing while serving failed gods. She wanted to understand the world around her and pick apart the stings that hold reality. Nothing pleased her more then unraveling the mysteries that evaded even the understanding of the gods themselves.
…
No, she would not serve, she would lead; she would not worship, she would defy; she would not bow, she would rule. These things drove her away from the teaching of the bygone era her family desperately clang to. She knew greater destiny lay elsewhere. Despite the protests of her family, she left to explore the world and expand her mind.
…
Do not think her a saint for abandoning the sins of her forefathers. She was well drenched in the sins of her own machinations. Vampires care little for the morality of man or the lives of the innocent. All mortals are tools to be used and discarded as she saw fit. As her knowledge grew so to did her distain for mortals and her cruelty towards them. They where little more than subjects to be studied or food to be consumed.
…
That was until she saw him the immortal knight that stood above all others. Harahel the champion of the guild wars and vice guild master of AFKIRL. The sight of him alone gave moved her heart in a way she never felt. Her life was given new meaning beyond the cage she found herself. She followed her prince charming, practicing her introduction, prettying her smile, steadying her heart for the day they would finally meet.
…
When that day came however it was not what she wanted. Harahel could not be hers because he belonged to another. However, eternity is a long time, and her chance may come should she bides her time. She will make herself better to be worthy of his gaze and love no matter how long it may take. For time is moot to the immortals.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Deicide: No Gods, No Kings
Pneuma is one of Jessica’s later avatars created for D:NGNK she was created to be a long range divining (enemy location detection) and anti-surveillance support for Lilitu while in Guild Battles. This would allow for Lilitu to locate enemy players faster without using her own manna to do so with the added bonus of staying undetected. She could also use support skills to aid in combat or used as a sacrificial lamb in case of retreat. The character herself was never meant to do anything more than these and so to make up for her lack in combat skill her lower level summons and melee were maxed out. As a single purpose build after reaching level 75 She was no longer leveled up as levels were no longer necessary. Due to her low level to keep her from being killed in the event of combat during Guild battle she was given an extremely powerful armor that would deflect damage to her magic pool. The armor is extremely bulky and is an extremely difficulty to craft armor set. It is possible that the armor had other abilities although they are all mysteries. Pneuma is an actor at all times always playing a role to accomplish some goal. She is at her most guarded around Lilitu, one of the few people she truly respects and fears. Part of that fear also stems from the fact that she is uncontrollably in love with Harahel and what that would mean if Lilitu found out. Pneuma normally pretends to be a soft spoken and shy teenage girl because of her young appearance and slender vampiric form. Though this is but one of many facades she will put on. She exhibits many of these characteristics because of her low karma level from the game. This translated in the new world by making her take pleasure in the psychological, and physical torment of others. Though she will not go out of her way to harm others she will not shy away from expedient and morally horrendous actions if it means she will get results. While operating under the alias of Veil she conducted her “Jolly Nightmare” experiments. The purpose of the research was to determine the effects someone mental state had on their magic. She captured hundreds of mages and their families. She would torture and kill family members in front of the mage to see how the potency of their magic would change under stress, duress, depression etc. Her experiments would often continue until the mage was too broken psychologically to use magic or until resurrection was impossible.Summary
In the game Pneuma was created to be primarily a divining and anti-surveillance support character in guild battles. While she herself is limited in combat ability to mainly summons and melee attacks. Her class was the popular Arcane Necrochemist class which was unique to undead and Dark God races. This class allowed for her to create powerful potions which could be used during guild battles. The Arcane Necrochemist class also allowed gave her unique summons which could buff teammates. She was never meant to fight in the frontlines during any engagement as was used primarily for her summoning and potion making abilities. Pneuma was also used to create Minnie_Bones as it was required to have an avatar with a -100K to create a Soul Gem. In the game having a -100K or +100K locks avatars out of some quests, so main avatars where not normally used to do this. This made her the evilest member of guild in stark contrast to Eraká the most heroic. Now that Pneuma is a sentient being she is the culmination of her stats, and the lore Jessica wrote in the game for her description. This has made her cold and calculating but also loyal to the guild. She feels most at home when she is around the guild hall and want more than anything to be useful. Despite her failed humanity her heart sets with AFKIRL.Sexuality

Education
Pneuma is one of the most well educated of all of the avatars. Being of noble blood and a Daywalker she was given the highest quality education. She would attend schools throughout the elven nation while hiding her identity as a vampire. In addition, she always had a fascination with chemical magic which required an advanced grasp on multiple schools of magic, chemistry and biology.
Being a vampire also meant she was trained in various Dark God rituals that would strengthen her connection to dark magics. She would spend the majority of her time before joining AFKIRL performing horrific experiments to further understand the deeper roots of magic. Being the daughter of nobility, she was also trained in extensively in etiquette though has abandoned most of these teaching unless necessary to gain an advantage.
Employment
Pneuma has only ever worked as an adventurer with the AFKIRL guild. Being of wealthy nobility and a powerful mage, she never had to work if she didn’t want to.
Morality & Philosophy
After becoming a living being on Zuth she retained all of the personality and morality she had from the game. Jessica’s written backstory for the character becoming her real past. In addition, her morality (being -100K) from the game translated in making her a truly evil person. She only cares about completing her goals and is willing to do anything to accomplish them.
This has made her extremely calculating and manipulative exhibiting psychopathic tendencies. She sees only those above her in the guild as worth her time while everyone and everything else is expendable. To her Lilitu and Harahel are the only beings in the world more capable than she is and there for worth following. To that end she will carry out any plan with ruthless efficiency and without concern for her subordinates as long as the job is done.
