D ivinely my own. A light shade of teal ??? M irror mirror on the wall. Like most High Elves, one would find a great deal of beauty in Arioch . Though she appears to be a bit younger than she actually is, as she ages much more slowly than most of the others around her now. She stands at a rather unimpressive five feet five inches, and as a small, somewhat slender build. At first glance, seeing the face of the young high elf, one would think they are looking at the face of an angel. Her face is slightly rounded, her lips full and red like freshly picked cherries. There is just a touch of a light, pinkish hue around her eyes, highlighting their intensely blue shade. Her hair is parted in the center, the two separate ends reaching down past her chin, curling and framing her face. The young high elf usually ties her hair up into a high pony tail, held in place by a very fancy hair ornament. When worn tied up, her hair extends down to her shoulder blades. Untied, he spills down into the middle of her back. In her ears she wears a pair of purple and white feathered earrings. Arioch wears a red, one piece, tube top like dress. It is slip along the sides going up to her hips. The dress leaves her neck, collarbone, and shoulders all bare, allowing those who see her a good view of her bare, creamy skin. On her arms, she wears the matching detached sleeves that go along with the main part of the floral patterned dress. The curl out to cover the back of her hand, fasted by a gold cloth that ties around her middle fingers. Gold trim lines the dress and the sleeves, rather plain at the hem of the dress on the bottom, while the top is decorated with a fancier pattern and on the hands, the trim is present in the form of frills. Several necklaces adorn her neck, all three of them made from a different combination of gemstones. What appears to be a row is, in fact, the tie for the light pink start battered cape she wears.The pattern on the bottom hem of the cape echoes the one found at the top of her dress, with bit of cloth hanging down beneath it. Around her hips she wears a pink cloth, tied over her left hip with a ribbon that echoes her hair ornament. Two, jeweled belts wrap around her body, connecting again on the other side. A bit of the sash is visible underneath the ribbon. On her legs, she wears multicolored hosiery, each color a different shade of pink. In her feet, she wears a pair of red and gold trimmed thick soled boots that lift her up a half inch off of the ground. A gold pattern encircles the boots, wrapping around them twice. In the middle of the two loops she wears a pair of jeweled anklets. Her outfit makes her looked more like a noble than a general, however, this is just a testament to how wealthy the Elven nation is. At least, those that live in the lap of luxury of the elven nations. ? ? Mysterious Melancholic Ignorant Spiritual Impatient Strong ??? T he real me. Most people think Arioch to have a bad personality. They see her as a hard headed individual set in her beliefs and unable to change or adapt to things around her. She is known for being a bit impatient, the kind of person to jump into a situation without thinking the consequences through entirely. And yes, there are times when she may appear to be ignorant, and many times, she appears to act that way by choice. These are just things that people see of her on the surface. And after seeing such things, most people decide they want nothing more to do with her and turn a blind eye to her. Those who truly know her know that underneath her hardened exterior lies a very kind and loving individual. Her unit of warriors know this better than anyone else, after experiencing this other side of her first hand so many times watching her mourn for those lost in battle, witnessing how hard she'll fight and how far she will go to try to save someone important to her, even to the point of nearly losing her own life. After living most of her life on the battlefield, Arioch has only gotten to know the darkest side of life. She has seen atrocities committed against innocent men, women, and even children. Villages pillaged, people killed. . .love is something that she has neither seen or experienced much of in her life. Even she realizes how sad and grim her own existence has been, which has lead her to fall in a sort of depression. Her impatience stems from her melancholy attitude, a need to be doing something so that she doesn't spend too much time alone with her thoughts. Keeping herself busy is a way of medicating herself. There are periods of time when she has trouble sleeping, and is prone to going through periods where she will appear to be feeling down. She prefers to distance herself from others, physically and emotionally, but will warm up to people she's often around over time. Even with such problems, Ari displays a great amount of strength and determination. Her strength is not only physical, but her undying perseverance helps push her forward and continue to live despite all of the tragedies and atrocities that she has witnessed. Her faith in all that is good and holy still exists, shown in how she begins and ends each day in prayer. She is in tune with the magical and the spiritual, and will at times speak of being able to sense and feel the spirits of things most people consider to be just things. ??? T he past is history. Arioch Ta'Thlen has lived a hard life. She was born under the tree-top haven in the Elven Kingdom, living most of her earlier years in poverty, watching many and most of the people she met die of disease or starvation. It was not uncommon for someone to have to fight for even a scrap of food. Even as a child, she displayed a great amount of strength and determination fighting her hardest to keep on living despite her circumstances. There were days when she could not eat, and went hungry, and there were days when she was so sick she wished to collapse and die to escape from her torment. What got her through that time was not only her own power, but a greater power beyond herself she believes. Because of this, she has devoted her life to serving and upholding this power, this Light, above anything and everything else. Some years later, now a young woman, Ari has found herself in the midst of several conflicts that have erupted in the dark shadow of the Elven Kingdom, and served as both a scout and a soldier on the battlefield. From this young age, Ari witnessed many atrocities of war. Massacres, rapes, pillaging, lynchings, beatings, murders, and mutilation. For her, this world was normal, her home, but she knew in her heart that these things were wrong. She broke off from the main army with a group of like-minded fellow soldiers and formed a small, rag-tag militia of her own. This group moved about with no name, but their faces and skills became known far and wide, even in the upper kingdom. Eventually, a group from the lower kingdom plotted to revolt against the upper kingdom and launched an attack that ravaged a part of the tree-top town. In this battle, Ari and her group fought to defend the upper kingdom and helped the knights of the Elven Royal Court quickly end the rebellion. Because of their selfless actions, they were all knighted and were finally freed from their dark hell. The coming of the Eclipse and the news of the death of the Queen of Light spread around the world like wildfire. The Elven people all grew uneasy, but decided to believe in the remaining Knights. Arioch felt that it was foolish for them to depend on people who had gone into hiding. After a heated and passionate shouting match with the Elven leaders, she discarded her position as a General and cast aside her title as a knight, then foolishly marched out of the kingdom. She had come to the conclusion that she would save the world herself if need be, rather than waiting for someone else to save it. ? d ? ??? I 'm used to it When first venturing into a town or unfamiliar place, it is not uncommon to see Arioch climb up to the highest point in her field of view and survey the area. It is easy to tell what kind of mood she is in by looking at where he hand is in relation to her weapons the more relaxed she feels, the further her hands will be away when she's feeling threatened, her hand will wander to the hilt of one of her weapons when she's feeling uneasy or apprehensive, her hands will be somewhere close to one of her weapons, but she still show no sign of reaching for it. She is also known to talk or mutter to herself. ??? R aindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. High Places Nature The Light ??? W hen the dog bites. - The Darkness - The Demons Overrunning the Earth - The Four Heroes Or the Three Cowardly Bastards and the Traitorous Bastard as she affectionately calls them - Being Unable to Heart the Voice of the Earth ??? W hen the bee stings. - That the World is too Far into Darkness to be Saved - Large Bodies of Water ? ??? ?? ? ? ??? F eel my wrath. . Not unlike most elves, Arioch is very in tune with the natural world. Earth is her power, her home, her ruler, and her protector all wrapped up into one. Using earth magic, Ari is able to call forth vines from the earth. These vines will do one of two things, depending on what she needs. They will either whip her enemy, causing damage, or wrap around them and hold them in place. Most often, she uses her vines to hold an enemy captive as she fines it to be the best use of her ability. It is not uncommon for her to summon a wall of earth to hold her enemies and shield her allies. How big this wall can become depends on the area around her, but she often makes it just big enough to protect from attacks coming from ahead, above, and from the sides and a semi-spherical shape. Arioch is also a talented healer. With so much experience working on the battlefield, she has gained the ability to heal minor and moderate wounds and mend broken bones. This, however, is the extent of her healing abilities. For any wounds worse than this, the most she can do is stop bleeding or lessen pain ??? C ower beneath my blade. The former Elven General makes use of rather light weaponry. Her main weapons are a pair of one handed savers, with long, thin blades. Her weapons are worn tucked tucked into her sash where all of the cloth ties together around her waist. Arioch is, naturally, ambidextrous, so the choice of using two weapons such as those was only natural. Rather than designating one hand to blocking and the other to attacking, or taking a certain stance to use them, she is able to use them both freely, to attack with each or defend with each, or two attack with one and defend with the other. There are also times when the use of one blade is better than using both, which seems to change her fighting style altogether. Arioch seems to make use of a derivative of an Elven Fencing style which makes use of fast paced attacks to somewhat overwhelm an opponent. There are a few moves that can only be used properly after parrying or dodging an attack, as to not leave her defenseless. ? ? ? ??? T his connection is deep. In the beginning, Arioch knows none of the other characters personally. There may have been an occasion or two where she met Valen. ??? Y our sound of death. Cadence of Her Last Breath , For the Heart I Once Had , 7 Days to the Wolves ??? F ulfil your curiosity. There isn't much to know about Arioch that you wouldn't know from meeting her. ???
