Nur Laghmani

## Appearance

### Hair Color

Ebony, like a starless sky. Nur has a gray streak framing the left side of her face, but she dyes it religiously.

### Eye Color

Shifting tones of striking emerald, with slit pupils

### Clothes Description:

Nur enjoys everything colorful, beautiful and expensive. She dresses in flowing silk dresses, with plunging necklines to reveal her shoulders and curve hugging corsets of painted leather. Beauty before practicality. Infinitely feminine Nur invests many hours on her appearance. She favors solid colors to bring out the details of the leatherwork on her corsets and the embroidery on her dresses. Sparkling jewels adorn her neck, ears, wrists and ankles. The metalwork is twisted to resemble writhing snakes climbing along flowering vines.

## **Personality**

Nur loves to be around people, especially men, who somehow always end up giving her what she wants. When it comes to anyone else, she usually has to feel them out a little. Get an idea on their motives, weak spots. Nur has to know someone well enough in order for them to seize being a threat. Her mind is only settled after she's found a way to twist someone around her finger.

She's known to be selfish and somewhat mean when around people she doesn't know or trust. Every women for herself. If she gives you something and you barely know her, expect there to be strings attached. Nur will be endlessly kind and share all of her laughter, love and riches with the few she trusts. The lengths to which she will go to save someone else is entirely reliant on the relationship Nur has with them. She has no difficulty in selecting friends according to their (emotional) value, like sorting out a box of precious jewels. In this sense Nur is a very practical girl, letting her head guide her instead of her heart when it comes to survival.

On a whole Nur has a pleasant aura around her, she rarely has ill intentions and prefers to poke fun and joke around. She can be incredibly impatient, childish even, when she doesn't get what she wants. Be it material or emotional. She is not afraid to stand up to men, especially when they are easily charmed. Few things make her anxious and she doesn't let that show. Nur is quick on her feet, witty and always wants to have the last laugh. Surprisingly clever she always has something to say. Don't let her out of your sight.

Nur relies on her looks and charm to manipulate people which works well most of the time, but it cancels out groups who aren't susceptible to her womanly ways. She has a hard time befriending or finding common ground with less feminine women, and elderly men especially inspire a sense of displeasure in her. Nur loves to joke around when the joke is not on her. She stays up till the moon is high up in the sky and sleeps in till late mornings. When she's overextended herself she needs to sleep. Otherwise she'll either fall asleep on the spot or even faint.

## **History**

As a little girl Nur grew up into a life of leisure. There were no rules and no limits. Anything she could ever want was given to her. Her youth consisted of waking up when the sun was setting, she would bathe, dress in beautiful clothes and eat nice food. The night was a time of pleasure and fun seeking, stalking the shadows and playing games with her countless brothers and sisters. Nur loved reading fairytales, and was enamored by the idea of true love. She was often ridiculed by the people around her, as it was often the succubus in the story who drove lovers apart.

The demon city Cocytus was her home for most of her life. The moment she reached physical perfection she was trained by her sisters in the art of seduction. She grew into a skilled temptress, using the eternal youth and beauty her kind is famous for. Her kind took pride in being gifted with the powerful ability to entice feelings of desire across all races in Avalia. With adulthood there came an end to the carefree days of her childhood. There was fierce competition among the succubi and their male counterparts the incubi, each honing their skills and perfecting their beauty in an attempt to outsmart the other.

Tired of dealing with constant competition, backstabbing and ruthlessness Nur moved away from Cocytus, following in the footsteps of many of her sisters, spreading out across Avalia. Countless years passed and Nur started to feel a sense of emptiness. Being desired if only for a fleeting amount of time, no longer gave her the satisfaction it used to. She envied the happy couples she encountered, and despite the reputation of her kind, she resisted the urge to break them apart. Even if it was not meant for her, she still wanted to preserve it wherever she found it.

Eventually she settled in a small backwater town, in an attempt to live a more quiet life. Life in the secluded town was a welcome change for her. She took to it quickly and with surprising joy. After another unusual day Nur awoke one morning feeling something had changed. She felt weaker, less powerful and it scared her. Whenever she needed to use her power it sometimes didn't even work at all. She started to show signs of age. A grey streak appeared in her hair, which mortified her. Absorbing life force was a temporary solution, as it reversed the effects, only to make it worse afterwards. Her power continued to deplete. Nur began to feel desperate, searching to find out why this was happening to her, and how to restore her power.

She started her search in Azmor Galus. There she found a lead to the castle of the Lich king. Nur knew a powerless demon would never be granted access to the precious knowledge of Aklenroth's library. Valuing her life she continued her search elsewhere, exhausting every place of knowledge in Avalia. Eventually Nur reached Roshmi, where she witnessed the start of a rebellion against the Aklenroth, led by a fairy princess. There was only one place left to look, by siding with the rebels she could get access to the library.

**Subspecies:**

**Succubus**, *the desire demon*

Unearthly beautiful female entities. They appear human, but upon closer inspection traces of demonic features can be seen, pointed ears, scales on the back and neck, snakelike eyes, small retractable fangs and a forked tongue. They visit men at night, and can appear in dreams, wanting their victim to fall in love with them. The succubus feeds on this desire, to maintain her youth, beauty and power.

### **Best Abilities:**

Nur can use pheromones to awaken desire, or put subjects into a state of high suggestibility, resulting in a limited form of mind control. They can also be used to slightly stimulate the healing process and induce sleep. While not a poison it can be used to disorient enemies and make them extremely sick. The effects of her pheromones are temporary, and grow stronger or weaker with the duration of skin contact.
