Bliss Rider

The Bliss Rider is a title carried by multiple individuals throughout history. The curse was first created by Gohdumsin and was since then passed along. The final Bliss Rider nearly disrupted the Sea of Time but was ultimately destroyed when her cursed magic was nullified.

## Appearance

The Bliss Rider is a gray, skeletal entity who wears loose-fitting robes around her body. These robes cover everything except her hands and half of her face, the other half being covered by a hood. Her left eye glows red.

## Brief History

The Bliss Riders have been around for an eternity after they were created by Gohdumsin. The original rider was killed and subsequently passed her curse and powers to her killer. This process was repeated for a long time until it reached the present Bliss Rider.

This individual protected Dimiourgia's Conception in the Element Dimension along with the rest of the riders. She used her powers to obscure the rest and the surrounding environment. She was later among the riders tasked with disposing of the Dragon Lord. In the new timeline she aided Gohdumsin in stealth while her master captured the Kin of Time and retrieved Narcilis.

Along with the rest of the Martyr Ten, Bliss was ready to disrupt the Sea of Time on Gohdumsin's command. However, the Heralds of Retha's Eljenai Alminak used his temporary cursed magic nullification to counter the Bliss Rider curse, permanently destroying this rider.

## Abilities

As part of the Martyr Ten, the Bliss Rider's curse permanently imbues her with bliss-related abilities for as long as Gohdumsin lives. These abilities are powerful but come at the cost of eternal bliss and her free will.

* **Bliss Magic-** This type of magic is unique to the Bliss Riders. As one of Gohdumsin's ten favorite emotions, it gives its riders the power to harness the emotion and use it offensively in a variety of ways. She's fragile, but her magic abilities are unparalleled by any other rider.
	+ **Comforting Silk-** Bliss walks close to a victim and wraps her robes around them. If the victim isn't wise enough, they will fall asleep after a very short while.
	+ **Peace Hands-** By resting her hands on her enemy, she can calm them, reducing their accuracy and damage.
	+ **Warm Embrace-** She hugs the enemy softly and for an extended period of time. If the enemy isn't smart enough to realize this ruse, then the enemy will completely fall to bliss. They will enter a trance where they cannot attack, and they see their fantasy. After a short while, they will break out of this wonderful experience and they will suffer a complete mental breakdown.
	+ **Bliss Vision-** The rider will look into the mind of her prey. This is passive, and she will be able to recognize her victim's fantasies.
	+ **Bliss Lullaby-** The rider will start singing a mute song that no one can hear. When in the radius of this soft melody, her victims will start to forget random things, and more things will be forgotten the longer the lullaby is in effect.
	+ **Bliss Opera-** A full mental assault. Once a victim hears this song, Bliss enters their mind and starts manipulating their memories. This can be used to erase memories or implant new ones. The Bliss Rider can stay in someone's mind for as long as she wants, but when the victim is asleep, the attack can be fatal.
	+ **Bliss Hymn-** Once the Bliss Rider begins the hymn, a complicated black magic attack takes place. Her victims- no matter where they are, will suffer from this attack. This spell will keep the area where the rider is completely hidden, and in the eyes of others, will cause it to look like something else. The hymn doesn't only cause an illusion over the area, but causes a remote spell to activate in her prey.
	+ **Bliss Choir-** This choir will affect anyone around her if she pleases. This move is used to conceal or alter the appearance of people or objects.

* **Power Transfer-** If this rider were ever to be killed, its killer would unwillingly inherit the mantle and powers of the Bliss Rider.

## Weaknesses

* **Bliss Curse-** This rider's powers are also its curse. She cannot stop being the Bliss Rider: she cannot disobey. Gohdumsin has complete control over her and is able to control her every action with just a thought. Additionally, the Bliss Rider is permanently feeling the emotion of bliss. This can potentially hinder her abilities if overwhelmed by the emotion.
* **Cursed Magic Nullification-** After becoming a rider, Bliss is almost entirely made up of cursed magic. Nullifying this magic would be the same as safely destroying her, including the curse that transfers her powers. This weakness was exploited by the Heralds of Retha.

## Trivia

* Before she was a rider, this Angel was a proficient cleric/healer.
