## Physical description

### Eye color

Pure White (Blind)

The Lord Echo is a genderfluid elf who exudes masculine and aristocratic poise that can only be described as ladylike. He had long white hair which he kept in elegant braids, and was naturally pale-skinned. While he possessed a physical form, he wore long, flowing garments in stark black and white contrasts as if all the colour has been removed from his appearance. Lord Echo took immaculate care to ensure his clothing and hairstyle were symmetrical and neat. While on the mortal plane, since he no longer required his sight, he had taken to wearing a blindfold or exposing his clouded white eyes.

### **Backstory and General Information**

Echo was born and raised in Sindorien during the tail end of the Time of Mage Blight. They led a sheltered life in an enclave city east of of Fen'arloth with their family. Echo took naturally to the study of magic and quickly became their uncle's protege that strained their relationships with their siblings and parents. When the Vortex was created, they struck out from their home, determined to find out what had happened.

### **Call to the Shadows**

The elven lord had resided in Guardian Vale for the past four to five years and, in this time, grew from a skittish child to a dignified and influential 'lady'. Teachers of magic and history had come and gone until she found her fate among the devotees of the Narga and the Cult of Shadow. Lord Echo finds inspiration in his worship of Victrix, the Flawless and stood as Victrix's Champion. She was the first within Shadow to claim the rank of a Champion of the Nine under Luther as the Voice of Ruin and had led the cult as the Prophet of the Nine in the interim between Korran's consumption and T'chellic's emergence. Though a priestess rather than mage, Echo enjoys the challenge and thrill of discovering new uses and applications of magic, both ruinous and arcane.

### **Quotes**

* "When I was growing up, Ruinous magic was something taboo and secret. It was the embodiment of something unknown and to most people that meant something terrible and evil. I wanted to learn more about this other force. I wanted to learn and I wanted to study." - Echo to Blue in an anonymous interview.
