So tell me a little bit about yourself.

Physical Aspects: Her human form is not aptly named, as she has strange, bird-like legs and matching black claws on her feet and hands. Her eyes are completely blank, but she can still see. She is tall (5'11") and thin, with an overly long neck and small shoulders.

Her Nobody form dispenses with the idea of looking anything but vaguely humanoid. She is covered completely in a grey cloak with the Nobody symbol on the hood. One of her arms ends in a very large, clawed hand while the other is covered in tentacles and ends in a very large blade. She has no eyes in this form, and her mouth and throat are stitched up with coarse thread.

Persona:

• Façade: Xether can not speak, and can only communicate through animal noises such as growls and whimpers. Therefore, it is hard to judge her personality- but from what can be seen she is extremely reserved and easily frightened. However, when Xaldin is near she seems braver.
  
  
• Inner Mind: The reason that Xether seems brave is because she is horribly afraid of what will happen if she disappoints him. She is somewhat simple-minded and can only communicate through a sort of lower telepathy, and can understand English perfectly. Her sentences are simple, disjointed and very cryptic-sounding, although she does not mean for them to be.
  
  Above all, she fears what she calls 'the Truth', something that in her mind only Xaldin possesses. She considers him almost like a god- protecting her from the Truth, but also holding it over her head should she fail. The Truth is what caused her to claw her eyes out as a human, and she equates it with something worse than death.

What’s your story?

Once upon a time in a far away land, a little girl was born in a simple peasant village. This girl's mother died in childbirth, and the child came into the world bloodied and screeching like an animal. She was very ugly, and was said to be born under witchcraft. They spent months trying to cure her, but nothing helped. As she was growing, it became obvious that she couldn't speak, but could only make strange animal noises. It became clear that she was some sort of demon. When she was a year old, all the village people, including her father, cast her out into the woods to die and declared them cursed.

She was part animal, though, and could manage in the wilderness. Back then, she was able to turn into all sorts of strange creatures, and could also take the form of a full human on some nights instead of the bird-like creature that was her normal form. She remained in the wild for many years.

Then, one day, a man and his son wandered into her domain by accident. She went to them in the form of a large bird, offering a dead rabbit as a peace offering, as she had grown very lonely. They were interested in her, and called to her, and so she changed into a fox to follow them. They were very surprised, and knew that she was the cursed changeling, but they could not find it in their hearts to leave her here when she was so eager to follow them.

So she lived with them, hiding in the attic except for the nights when she could appear completely human. She worked and worked, and these nights came more and more often. She learned their language, but could not speak it- to counter that, she learned how to write from the son. She was very interested in him, and often wished that she could speak so he could tell her his feelings.

When she was 18, she became able to talk to people through their minds, and talked to the father often- however, she was too nervous to talk to the son. She believed that he liked her, and that was enough. By then, she could take on the form of a human constantly, and even appeared in town as the mute cousin of the son. They gave her the name Laura, which she believed was as good as a birth name.

Then the man came. He called himself the Lancer, and he found the changeling while she was hunting in the wild. He was the controller of the wind, and she was fascinated by him. He seemed to be interested in what she was, and began talking to her. She told him everything, but he seemed to treat the idea of the son with scorn. He said that the son would never love her, and so she went to ask him if he would to prove that he was wrong.

He ran. He did not return her feelings, not in the least. His revulsion scared her, and her guise of the human began slipping. The father cast her out after hearing the son's story, and her attempts to see the people she called friends all ended in pain.

Then the Lancer found her and began speaking to her, speaking and speaking and speaking. He told her the Truth, bit by bit, and the Truth was so terrible that she clawed her own eyes out to stop from seeing what he described. But he kept talking.

However, he was kind, and told her how she could protect herself from the Truth. She would lose herself to the darkness and serve him as something else, and only then could she be safe from the people who hated her and scorned her. She agreed, and became that something else. He called her Three, and she was to be his soldier.

She did not resent him. He had saved her.

It all comes down to this: make your choice.

You are presented with three weapons: a sword, a staff, and a shield. The sword represents the power of the warrior; invincible courage comes with this weapon as well as horrible destruction. The staff represents the power of the mystic; inner strength comes with this weapon as well as wonder and ruin. The shield represents the power of the guardian; kindness to aid friends comes with this weapon as well as a shield that will repel all.

Which one will you choose?

Chosen Weapon: Xether takes the Shield nervously.

Defensive Blow
You swing your weapon and then gather yourself into a blocking position, making yourself harder to damage. Until your next post, all damage you are dealt is reduced by one effectiveness point. All regular physical attacks deal no damage, Weak abilities deal damage as a physical attack, Moderate abilities deal 3/4 normal damage, Strong deal 5/6 damage, and super-Strong deal 7/8 normal damage.

Range: Melee
Speed: Swing speed
Cooldown: 4 posts
Uses: 2 uses
