Arandyl "Peppermint" Peyzazh

Lady Arandyl Peyzazh, also known by the unusual nickname "Peppermint", is one of the Protagonists of MONOLITH. She is an Eladrin woman, making her royalty by nature and also making it extremely unusual to meet her in a city as crappy and rundown as Empyrea. Peppermint is not a Wastehunter in any traditional sense, though at least for now she is traveling alongside Diamant's Crew. While seemingly not being much of a fighter, Peppermint has a very unique ability to seemingly summon and mentally command dangerous Cryptids to protect her. These consist of a six foot tall stone golem named Enderlam, a giant python named Sanatris, and a strange, mage-like energy being whose name has not been given. Mechanically, she is an Eladrin Controller. She acts as the Wild Card, or Jack, of the campaign's protagonists.

## History

### Before the events of MONOLITH

As an Eladrin, Peppermint is a member of the Seelie Court, specifically the Peyzazh line which, despite sharing a last name, are NOT one family, but dozens of interconnected lineages and houses that constantly bicker and disagree. Because of this, what her house is and why she is in Empyrea are currently unknown. It is also known that she has at least one sibling, a brother named Erlareo, who she has a very poor relationship with.

### ARTIFICIAL HEART

Peppermint was rescued from a Toxic Avatar by the party, and joined them temporarily to assist in their investigation (though she was self-admittedly of little usage in that kind of situation), but moreso joined them because the party was offered money to keep her safe and escort her back to the Sandman Arena. As was somewhat expected, Peppermint remained relatively quiet at first, though she did assist in the "negotiations" that lead to the release of Stroke. Peppermint was uncomfortable throughout the meeting with AM, remaining in the back and hoping to get out with her skin. When the group subsided she took some time to destress at home, though was interrupted during a brief spat with her brother Erlareo who showed up to visit her. After some extensive bickering, Erlareo left her alone.

Peppermint then met up with the others to talk biz at the Half Moon Cafe, where they encountered Anthony Silvers. After unsuccessfully chasing him on foot, the group began to chase him in a Kingmaker helicopter that Diamant owned, where Peppermint obtained her first non-magical weapon, a MustangArms Boomer that she is still not really able to use. After that mission was botched, Peppermint took a leave of absence, and went to see Melanie Fairweather after the incident at her shop caused the teleportation malfunction that got Peppermint involved with the group in the first place. After a brief conversation where Melanie apologized profusely and insisted she did not understand what had happened, another mage walked in to attempt a robbery. A standoff ensued where Peppermint interrogated him, and the man admitted to planting the teleportation device in an attempt to kill Melanie. He then shot Melanie in a fight of rage, at which point Peppermint engaged him in a fight and quickly disarmed and restrained him using her Eidolon. Melanie was rescued and taken to the hospital and the mage was arrested.

Following the detonation, Peppermint met up with the rest of the group quickly, and brought along her brother Erlareo. After a bit of a fight between the group, Peppermint arrived and cleared things up with the group of them, and Erlareo accompanied them to recover the damaged Elysian Charm. Later, during the fight with Azazel, he used an Invisibility spell, indicating that he is likely a more experienced mage than his younger sister, to conceal both of them, and assisted in firing off spells repeatedly at the Drow. The group fled when the Charm was recovered, escaping back to Tartarus, where Peppermint and Erlareo mostly hid out in their rooms and avoided trouble. The two ended up sharing a room for their Trances, and the experience, while it didn't uncomplicate their relationship, led to a heart-to-heart that somewhat mended the bad blood between the siblings. Peppermint spent the downtime reading and researching, and attempting to try some of the drugs sold at Tartarus, only to discover she was seemingly immune to their effects for as-of-yet unknown reasons.

## Biological Information

Peppermint is an Eladrin, which comes with a very complicated biological track, mainly due to the fact that Eladrin change appearance and personality seasonally. In her Winter form, which is what the party met her in, she has nearly snow-white skin and icy blue hair, standing at around 5' 7" with a slender and conventionally attractive frame. In addition, being an Elf metavariant, she has the signature large and pointy ears.

## Powers and Gear

### Traits

* **Eladrin** - As discussed above, Eladrin have a special quirk that causes their entire appearance, personality, and overall sense of self to completely switch seasonally. This is less them changing identities (as they retain memories and general goals and desires of their other selves) and more a shift in attitude and how they act.
* **Unusual Luck** - Peppermint has a permanent +5 Edge to her maximum Edge.
* **Eidolon Attunement** *-* Peppermint has 3 Eidolon, a type of magical Cryptid that acts as an extension of her own Essence.
* **Substance Resilience** - For currently unknown reasons, Peppermint is unaffected by

### Eidolon

* **Enderlam** - A large, well-built stone golem. It has no special abilities, but has a lot of HP compared to the other Eidolon and is usually the first line of defense.
* **Sanatris** - A 6 foot long giant python with a vicious bite. It is used as the primary physical attacker in Peppermint's arsenal.
	+ **Lethal Strike** - This Evolution gives Sanatris a +3 to his attack dice pool and to his Base Damage, making his attacks far more dangerous.
* **???** - What appears to be a floating magical robe with some kind of bluish-black energy being inside of it, which fires electric bursts at a distance.
	+ **Arms Of The Darkness** - The creature has the ability to cast a special spell twice per Rest, summoning black tendrils that restrain and viciously attack anyone near them.

### Spells

* **Seasonal Strike** - A Cantrip that, presumably, changes it's effects every season. In her Winter form, the attack functions as a burst of dangerous icy energy, almost like a semi-solid liquid nitrogen, that causes dangerous frostbiting and potential hypothermia.
* **Forcefield I** - Surrounds a creature she targets in some kind of shimmering glow that endures additional damage (mechanically adds +10 Shield).
* **Summoner's Blessing** - A spell she casts by throwing a handful of glitter at her summoned creatures, which in addition to making them sparkle, seems to make them stronger and increase their damage.

### Gear

* **MustangArms Boomer** - A .45 ACP 1911 clone that Peppermint took from Diamant's personal stash. Peppermint has zero idea how to operate it effectively.
