GENERAL INFO Character Name Tamyra Nickname Tams Gender Female Birth-date 4,581 A.R. Race Half-elf Skyshroud Sexuality Pansexual ------------ Domains Blue Birthplace Keld Nation ------------ Occupation Apprentice Wizard Affiliation Skyshroud Nomads, Keld, Tolaria West ABILITIES POSESSIONS Abilities The Pale Curse The unfortunate aftermath of Tamyras brief possession by the presence of Marit Lage. After being exorcised the young elven girl was touched by the Pulse of Rime, which turned her skin icy pale, hair white, and eyes a pale blue. As an added effect of the curse her flesh is always cold hungering for warmth. If the cold is allowed to settle it creates delusions and nightmares of Marit Lage. In severe cases the echo of possession takes hold guiding the cursed with an insatiable desire to free her from her frozen cage in Dominarias depths. Tamyras presence is capable of stealing the warmth from others and her environment. In this way she is possessed by a vampiric quality and the hunger can accidently result in the deepfreeze of her environment. She may trade submission to delusions by completely sapping a living being of their warmth, and inflicting the Pulse of Rime which gives them similar characteristics, but it also overwhelms their willpower making them susceptible to Tamyras command. Those affected this way are called the Rime-touched and become nothing more than frozen thralls. While tied to the expression of Mana and Magic, this ability is not considered a spell and is thus an innate ability of Tamyra. However the curse has warped her domain to Blue, and has given an intimate relationship to Cryomancy as well ancient Rimewind Sorcery.

Tamyra is of the few in recent times to excel at the craft. Counter Magic - The backbone of many Blue Wizards. Apart of the Academies curriculum Tamyra studies how cancel, redirect, and intercept anothers magic. While she is not as skilled as others she is passable by Tolaria Wests standards. Summoning Majority of practiced Wizards know how to conjure and pull beings or creatures through the void between planes. Some even manifest them within their own out of their Domain source.

Illusions Pure manifestations of the mind an Illusion varies in size and ability dependent on its caster. It is an incorporeal construct and also done as a means of confusing ones foes.

This burning ruby colored stone is set into a small enchanted iron frame where Goblin Runes are etched in its face. When the charm is worn it will fill its owners body with warmth and comfort. However in the case of Tamyra it is an ever radiating object to stay the hunger of her curse so that she may interact safely with the world. This charm was given to her by a professor of the Tolarian Academy. APPEARANCES Play-By NA Description When born Tamyra was a dark haired with soft elven features and a richly colored flesh-tone born of her Keldon heritage. When afflicted by Marit Lages curse, the young Half-elfs features were turned icy pale with white hair and cold blue eyes. Now she is an exotic specimen of her own compared to many other Dominarian elves. Slender and beautiful she stands at 56 ft. Tamyras face is defined by soft angles and full cheek in its oval shape. Her ears are not sharply defined or elongated but form into soft peaks defining her elven heritage along with her narrow nose bridge. As a Researcher for Tolaria West she does not where the flowing robes typical of its faculty. Instead she is bound by the faded leathers and dark blue fabrics of a field worker. This means you will see Tamyra wrapped in elegant sashes and binds, with many pouches, and various strange tools and baubles. She wears her hair short and tied back so as to keep it out from her face. PERSONALITY Description Tamyra is a spritely and headstrong person who in spite her misfortune has managed to push through. Book read and intelligent she lacks a lot of practical experience when exploring the greater world. She is prone to making mistakes and is the type that would rather break something apart to learn how to put it back together then ask. In this Tamyra is considered something of a tinkerer. For as reckless as she has shown herself to be she is quite thoughtful and resourceful. Tending to be quite sarcastic in a conversation Tamyra is an enthusiastic personality. She has a strong sense responsibility and duty that usually keeps her balanced. The young planeswalker hates breaking oaths or promises. HISTORY Circa 4,581 A.R. Born over seven years after the Great Mending of the Multiverse that saw the death and rebirth of Planeswalkers. Tamyra was the only daughter a trueborn Skyshroud Ranger Andal and a Keldon Chieftain Verda. This young half-elf was born at sea with a great potential for power only to be cursed by Marit Lage. Trapped and frozen deep beneath Dominarias oceans the sorceress had been slumbering since the Ice Age. The Mending had however fractured the magical prison that held her at bay. Requiring a vessel to free her Marit Lage sensed Tamyras power and sought to siphon the spark of the yet to be Planeswalker. What came of her most of the crew sailing to Jamurra was never known only that a ship drifted into the shores of Llanowar. What crew remained upon the ship had been flash frozen in a state of panic. When the Elves of Llanowar boarded the ship they found a young child wrapped in the arms of mother frozen in ice. The childs father was still asleep in his cot. It was a frightening site and the Elves found that the child drew heat away from anything that touched its skin. Wrapping it tightly in furs it was the Llanowar Elders that decided to send one of its own, Oberath, to the Spice Isles and give the child to the Masters of Tolaria West. Taking the journey the Llanowar Scout found himself taken to the young girl and named her Tamyra. At Tolaria West the Masters and the other Mages found the child terrifyingly remarkable. Cursed with magic that had not been seen since Dominarian Ice Age she shouldnt have been alive, yet she lived, and her mana alignment had been shifted. Foreseeing her to be either a great threat or a great student, Master Janus, agreed to take the child under his care. Oberath however chose to stay as the childs ward offering to serve as her caretaker. Her early years were noted with difficulties as the Tolarian mages attempted to deal with her curse. Physical contact was very problematic as they would find out several times. She was only four when they created a Hearth Charm finding that its heat mitigated her curse allowing her to touch others. When she was old enough to learn magic they found that she didnt only tap into blue leylines but fed on them. She was in part responsible for the Tolarian Masters decision to allow for study and practice of Cryomancy, and eventually the research into Rimewind Sorcery which had been barred for over a thousand years. Circa 4,600 A.R. Tamyra has become an accomplished Wizards Apprentice to Master Janus and has in the last few years allowed to engage in expeditions of Dominarian history. She still struggles with the Pale Curse but has managed to live with it. Her research has led her across the continents as well into some considerable danger. After an exploration of Temple Ruins in Durkwood her exposure a tribe of Giant savages resulted in the ignition of her spark. Returning to Tolaria she and the Masters deal with the revelation of her new power.
