ND/Aisling Mhic Muiris

Aisling ("Call me Ash") Mhic Muiris is an ambassador sent to the rebels by the rightful Queen of the Fae Court\*; her loyalty is there, and her goals (while they align with those of the Resistance) aren't necessarily 100% in line with the rebels. She's a trained war leader (though, ever humble, the first to admit that she's no great general) and a consummate diplomat (like any Nymph, she cheats) who is all to happy to help the plucky humans take on the orcs who've taken all the **fun** out of the world. Aisling rarely takes anything seriously and it's all too easy to dismiss her as an easily-distracted fop - a mistake her enemies rarely get the chance to make twice.

Ash is the opposite of imposing: at a diminutive five-foot-three, nobody will mistake her for a mighty warrior. Fortunately, very few people who speak to her for more than a few minutes have any cause to want to fight her: like all Nymphs, she's stunningly attractive, marvelously persuasive, and relentlessly cheerful - right up until someone crosses a line and her temper flares like a summer wildfire.

\*("What Fae Court?" The one that sent her. They're mysterious and otherworldly, and the Queen has had enough of this Dark Lord business - wait, what do you mean it's been five hundred years? Sorry we're late, then... Alternately, she could be lying through her teeth about all of it, and just be some wood nymph running a con. Who could tell? Her lack of bodyguards, fine clothes, signet rings, or documents attesting to her authority make Finbar Gullvan think she's running a con, but he acknowledges that she's an effective speaker and leader regardless.)

In May 508, Aisling was accredited Ambassador from the Fae Court and given observer status on the Ruling Council. Given her charm, no one objects when she contributes to discussions, even though she is technically not supposed to speak.

Luck [15]
\**With a ceremony that takes about a minute (and includes a clear communication of the oath binding the willing party and the consequences for breaking that oath), Aisling can lay a permanent geas on a subject she touches. There is no effect unless the oath is broken; once it is, the subject immediately suffers the consequences laid out when the oath was made, for the rest of their life (though Remove Curse or similar powerful magic might lift it). The consequences can be any combination of Disadvantages totaling -30 points: Divine Curses are good choices (See 'Cursed Thou Art', Pyramid 3/78), some physical disadvantages may be appropriate - anything that the GM agrees makes sense. Because the subject is willing, treat this as a BENEFICIAL affliction: the subject must succeed at an HT roll (at a bonus equal to Aisling's Talent) for the Geas to take effect. Once the geas takes hold, there is \*no\* further resistance!*

***Aisling's Mood Ring** [47 Choice]:* A filigreed but otherwise plain silver ring. The wearer constantly smells nice, giving +1 to reactions when that can be a factor; the ring keeps the wearer's clothes and armor clean, can manifest a set of lockpicks at need, and allows the user to send Magical Radio broadcasts with a maximum range of up to 1000 miles; it also allows receiving broadcasts with an Occultism roll at +5.

***Aisling's Covert Armor** [55 Armor, 63 Choice]:* A concealed mail jerkin, pants, and hood (see Equipment) that's barely distinguishable from a very fine set of traveling clothes; the wearer is protected from external influence, and fights with supernatural grace that's certain to distract anyone who's already susceptible to the wearer's charms - until they suffer a misfortune of their own.
