Common Knowledge

Appearance

Emma is, under the right lighting, quite attractive. With her slender spade-tipped prehensile tail, she could conceivably pass for a succubus- save for the fact that, while clear and smooth, every inch of her skin is a sickly, pale greenish hue, and she lacks all of the characteristic demeanor; She generally seems less like a lust-filled demoness and more like someone who is moderately ill. She's slight of build, with little visible muscle, and stands about 5'6" tall. She has bobbed, straight brown hair, blue-grey eyes, and generally favors modest clothes in muted shades of grey, green and brown. Anyone observing her for very long will probably notice that she speaks with a pronounced stammer, and also tends to have difficulty in looking anyone in the eye for more than a few seconds. She seems, in fact, to be in an almost constant state of anxiety.

  • Both of her palms have been marked by magic; Her right is branded with the image of a seven-pointed sun, her left is marred by a vaguely star-shaped scar.

Personality

Emma is almost always nervous, and regularly demonstrates a hesitance to interact with other people. She clearly wants to, but her own anxiety frequently holds her back. She tends to settle at first for the middle ground of being silent but present for discussions, so addressing her directly often startles her slightly- but it also gives her the needed 'push' to involve herself. When she speaks, it is generally quiet and punctuated with pauses and stammering, and she seems to frequently have difficulty selecting the right words to convey precisely what she means. She also spends perhaps an undue degree of focus on attempts to avoid upsetting others, which has occasionally led to her switching between conflicting ideas mid-sentence as she tries to work out the most diplomatic thing to say.

When discussing magical theories and formulae, however, she tends to become engrossed in the ideas, and her anxiety takes a backseat to scholarly fascination. When she recognizes someone as being a spellcaster of any variety, the idea that they share common interests is often sufficient to suppress her anxiety enough for her to eventually initiate a conversation.

Rumors

  • She's just a particularly clever succubus, not a do-gooder succubus lookalike.
  • She's a lesbian, and has a particular attraction to halfling women.
  • She's mortal, but is gradually turning herself into a demon as a means of achieving immortality.
  • She has a secret crush on Eidothea.
  • She has a lab somewhere, full of necromantic copies of herself.
  • She and Charley Thorne are secretly plotting to destroy the Multiverse.
  • She's actually Alec's familiar.
  • She used to be a namer in the Anarchs, but they kicked her out.

Less Common Knowledge

Accomplishments

  • With help from another planeswalker, saved Sorlla Tamera from an abduction/assassination attempt.
  • Came up with and employed a nonlethal (and appropriate) punishment for a bigoted warmonger.
  • Magically tracked and followed a djinn across the planes.

Failures

  • Unwittingly bound about twenty souls to her own.
  • Killed the host of Rest, one of the Spiritors of Sylvania.
  • Trusted the wrong person to help free her excess souls, resulting in them being newly imprisoned.

Goals

  • Free the souls that she unwittingly bound to herself, then lost to a necromancer.
  • Aid the Order of the Planes Militant in its endeavors.
  • Whenever possible, assist and/or protect her friends.

Occupation

Employment

Emma makes a living by aiding other mages in research, occasionally providing enchanting services, or else by accompanying adventurers in need of a mage for their planar exploration.

Hobbies

Emma has recently taken up weaving scarves. Her creations thus far are abominations which, if capable of speech, would beg to be destroyed.

Relations

Emma doesn't seem to have any clear-cut criteria for dividing up acquaintances into friends, enemies, and so on, tending to refer to most people she knows as 'friends', but from an outside perspective, one could more or less lump all those that she deals with regularly into three groups:

Friends

Associates

Adversaries

Additional Notes

History

Much of Emma's history is unknown, alternately due to some fear related to the subject and a lack of clarity in her memories prior to her initial arrival in Sigil.

Possible Plot-Hooks

  • She doesn't remember the first ten to fifteen years of her life.
  • She was a namer in the Revolutionary League for about a year, just before coming to Sigil.
  • Her ex-Mistress was a succubus; she was executed for murder, but could return.
  • She is perhaps overly compassionate; she is inclined to think the best of everyone.
