> "The Sin of Greed, also known as Calilja, is a demon blooded elven mage who became a well known figure roughly 30 years ago. The raven haired elf committed various and bold acts of theft throughout the nation of Bastia. The embarrassed and enraged nobles demanded for her capture and arrest, but many of the common folk, ~~whom she had helped~~ bewitched by her charms, refused to lend aid to the frustrated nobles. Eventually a few knights received a tip and set out to ~~collect on the high bounty~~ end her spree. They made the mistake of underestimating the trickster elf and that mistake cost them their lives. Thankfully, several holy knights were ready to subdue the unholy Elven witch and bring her to justice. King Aegis Tavaran was later able to tame the dangerous elf so that she may serve Bastia. As of recently, her where abouts have been unknown. She has refused to answer the summons to the crown and has supposedly been spotted traveling through rebel territory." - Public Rumor

Calilja, during a period of struggling with her demon bond, was overcome by the soul of Raum/Raim. Raum, in control of her mind and body, did what he did best, which was whatever he wanted. Him being a powerful being of chaos, disliked the arrogance of the Bastian human nobles, he enjoyed messing with them, using various tricks to stealing their most prized possessions and selling a few of their darkest secrets. Not actually caring for material wealth as much as the temporary feel of obtaining something coveted, he gave most of the profits to the closest underpaid servants. Though he was admittingly volatile, having occasional violent outbursts, few were unwarranted or against those who did not deserve the retribution.

After Calilja regained herself, and managed to obtain control over Raum's influence, she was able to hold back the behavior though the compulsion to act out still remained, especially when faced with her own vices. She still stole things out of spite, often giving items or gold to those who she foresaw needing them. She was a part of a honorable theives guild when the knights found her. They held her friends hostage in order to coax her out. She went willingly to the exchange, and they thought she was secured but when her friends were killed in attempt to stop the knights from hurting her, she went into a rage and broke her bonds. She violently killed the two knights and it didn't take long before more tracked her and cornered her.

She spent the next year isolated in a warded prison cell. The Bastians were unable to get much of a word on who she was and where she came from. Despite numerous interrogations the Bastians were left clueless on her identity. Though a few of the older knights who survived the demon wars were almost certain they had seen her before but could not recall where. It was concluded that she was a spy and so a slew of charges were thrown against her. She recoiled within her mind, only having Raum to talk to, she felt near madness. Eventually Aegus came to visit and it didn't take long for the King to present his "offer", though to her it truly wasn't much of a choice in becoming his soul-bound slave. He wanted her to do his bidding and so he hailed her The Sin of Greed.

## Ilryeana Valiryinthriel

The Elven Mage, The Demon Slayer

Born Ilryeana, of the Valiryinthriel and Ealoelon lines, in the city of Vel'ai in Emala. Much excitement surrounded her birth and from a young age it became apparent that she was more than just gifted with magic, she was a prodigy. Often her father tried to manipulate her and considerably favored her over his other children. This caused a rift between her and her older brother Taanyth who was a skilled warrior but not as talented in raw magical prowess. He strived for their father's attentions while she tried to get away from the pressure and much preferred staying in Vel'ai with her mother's family than in her home in Elvaleryn. As she grew older, her abilities seemed to blossom further but she became plagued with nightmares of creatures and other horrors to come. In her reveries, a particular figure haunted her, one which was attracted to her power.

The figure that haunted eventually let her be and for awhile she forgot about it. She had other things going on, such as her rebellious "teenage" years. Often vexing her father who would demand her model appearance at parties and other noble functions, She could care less about the ill-placed importance of such trivial fancies. She would venture off without a word, run off to Vel'ai where she met her first love. Though her father and brother managed to unravel her relationship after her publicly refusing an engagement arrangement with another noble.

This is when the demons began to their initial break into the mortal realm. Ilryeana was concerned about the growing number of attacks, and she could feel that this was leading to something worse. After witnessing fighting against a few and hearing her first love was killed by one of these creatures, she reaffirmed that she too needed to enter the front lines in Bastia. She was after all, one of the best young battle-mages that Emala could offer.

Entering the forefront of demon eradication, she aided in expelling the demon force and sealing the portal. Instead of heading straight back to Emala, she spent out the next few years hunting down the remaining demons with her lover and group of hunters. Eventually she was met with a familiar figure who was very much real and slaughter her companions. Bent of vengeance the young elf played into the demon's hands. After wearing her down he successfully coerced her into a pact that would change her forever.

In Emala, the fate of Ilryeana is still unknown to most. Her surviving friends and family believe her to be wandering Todosia, unaware of the association with her new persona, Calilja. Only her sister knows the truth and has sworn to keep it secret until Ilryeana wishes to reveal what has happened to the rest of her family.

## Personality

Calilja is certainly a complex and idiosyncratic individual. By most accounts she is whimsical, gentle, and caring, certainly chaotic yet maintains a strong air of poise and dignity that gives away her highborn lineage. Many find her charming, or at least respect her for when it is time to get serious, she is clever, pragmatic, and deceivingly calculative. One may mistake her occasionally aloof and airy attitude for disinterest but in truth she is a thinker and a dreamer. She can imagine dozens, even hundreds, of possibilities, but often her mind is drawn to look back at the past, especially when old ghosts and nightmares pay her a visit.

Calilja has lived for some time and has already experienced loss, betrayal, and tragedy. She holds all personal bonds and promises seriously and thus she does not make many. She is truly a compassionate soul with a strong intuition and emphatic heart. It is difficult to close all of that off and even when she purposely puts off a cold and heartless front, she is a bleeding heart, and will not willingly do anything which goes against her personal morals. She is generally outspoken about her thoughts but her feelings are another story as she will choose to suffer all pain and consequences in silence. However, there is a breaking point and that is when the corruption of the demon-blood begins to seep through her carefully shielded defenses.

## Integration With Raum

> Constantly there is a struggle between the melded souls, the struggle of Raum's soul who fights for being the dominant influence over Calilja's mind and body. If she were to give up entirely, his soul would consume hers and she would be no more. It would be more ideal, and easier if she would allow a proper integration of his soul with her own. In the moment of fusion they would no longer be Raum or Calilja, they would be someone entirely new. Neither know if this consensual soul fusion would be permanent or not. Raum was ready for that possibility but not Calilja, thus she continues to reject the bond preventing its stabilization. Ultimately this resistance can come to disastrous results. Acceptance would give way to a more balanced and harmonious relationship, but she does not want to take the risk of losing her soul.

With the unique demon-blood bond between Raum and Calilja, is able to physically transform. Due to Calilja's current rejection of her bond, she is only able to access this form when she becomes consumed by Raum's demonic influence. Her eyes turn all black and she has a complete change in her persona as she becomes an embodiment of chaos and his soul pushes for primary control. Her mana pool is seemingly endless while she utilizes dark energy at a terrifying capacity, and her heal factor more than double in regenerative speed. However, she becomes highly visually sensitive to white light and divine magic.

If Calilja were to accept her bond with Raum and allow a proper fusion of their souls, then this form, minus the all black eyes, would be her base physical form. It is uncertain whether her soul and Raums would be able to separate afterwards and both maintain some individual presence as is normal with most demon-blood bonds. Calilja fears that by willfully allowing a full soul fusion, the results would be irreversible and thus she would never be able to separate from Raum again. That would mean that Calilja as a person would be dead and her soul would be permanently transfused with the demon's. Who they would be after that is unknown.
