**Karis** is a necromancer and (primarily) a Major NPC, and a support member of the Check Please! Party, whose members rescued her from imminent death at the hands of vampire cult leader Warren. She later became the adoptive mother of Sol's children Sol'una and Mar'ku'lus, accepting responsibility both for them and for Sol's material assets after the latter departed Aedron. She currently is living in Prae'si'dium with her sister Kimbell.

Karis appears as a Player Character in the *Check Please!* 2021 Halloween special episode "Mystery Mayhem Manor", as well as the 2021 and 2022 christmas specials, once again portrayed by Beardy, in game sessions ran by Keni.

## Description

### Appearance

At first meeting the group, she was just shy of eighteen years old, and was severely malnourished and underweight. She has stark white hair, and silvery eyes. Her small frame was largely due to her meager conditions both as an orphan, and later as a captive of the Oen cultists. She tended to prefer wearing dark colored clothing, however as she aged, and eventually inherited the manor at Prae'si'dium, she began wearing Sol's old wardrobe of elvish styled clothes with purple highlights.

### Personality

Karis' personality started as a dark, secretive, and brooding person who was trying desperately to resurrect her sister. After her own ambitions to learn more magic were dashed at the Academy in Vil, she turned to alcohol as a crutch, and to this day, still has a strong taste for wine. She tends to be snarky, sarcastic, and extremely protective of her friends and family.

## Biography

### Early Life

Orphaned at a young age, she and her sister Kimbell were left on their own in the streets of the Holy City. Shortly thereafter the pair were abducted by cultists of the god Oen. In their care, the pair were subjected to all manner of ritual magic and 'testing' by the cult's obsessive leader, Warren. During those intervening years, kimbell was killed during a particularly taxing ritual. After seven years Warren had managed to 'prepare' Karis to become his perfect mate through the use of a series of magical tattoos across karis' body. These tattoos would enhance her ability to channel and process negative energy, and as a vampire, render her immune to many of a traditional vampire's weaknesses. However, Karis learned of his plans, finding out that she was to be turned into a vampire as soon as she was an adult, and managed to escape.

### The Check Please! Campaign

Karis' introduction to the party took place on the road, as she was fleeing west from the holy city. The group managed to save her, and took her to the academy of magical sciences, in Vil. However, Warren's forces attacked the school, and in the resulting battle karis managed to save a class of students by animating a pair of slain students. Despite saving the day, she was expelled for performing necromancy on humans, and was sent away in disgrace.

Upset by that, she went on a binge drinking spree, but was discovered by the party, and taken into their protection again. This time for good. Over the course of Season 1, she remained a teammate until the end of the season.

## Relationships

### Sol

Owing to them saving her, Karis has always had a soft spot for their somewhat scatterbrained bardic companion. Karis became a close friend to Sol throughout their journey, so much so that she was entrusted to carry on Sol's legacy.

### Vera Vespid

Karis was once killed by Vera. It was... awkward. Though her strange tattoos helped pull her back together and save her life.

### Lovette

Karis ended up becoming fairly close with Lovette, owing to them both sharing a passion for books, engineering, and knowledge.
