Aya

**Aya** is a Human Great Old One Patron Warlock, played by ThatBronzeGirl.

## Character

### Appearance

Aya is tall and slim with a short crop of dark grey hair. She has a beauty mark on her chin that stands out and seems to change location. She wears really dark grey robes with a thick gold brocade that lines it, the sleeves are large and contain many items such as a golden skull and a ruby-topped cane which holds a concealed sword. The robes are cinched around the middle with a dark red sash. She wears rings on every finger.

### Personality

Aya adopts an aloof and superior nature around others. She is shown to be quite greedy, only agreeing to heal others if they provide her with money for her services. She can be quite hedonistic, being keen to engage in vices such as alcohol and sex.

She is not entirely heartless though, sympathizing with creatures like Tim the Solar Demon

## History

### Background

During her past Aya sacrificed her sister for power, whether this was to forge her pact with her warlock patron Attiq'usu, is unknown. At some point Aya heard the city of Ire was offering great riches to any adventurers who managed to resolve the Phenomenon. She arrived and due to the surplus of adventurers was received by a compound that partnered her with Armaros, Enkara, and Sarrek before sending her into the Phenomenon.

As her power grew Aya was able to summon a Familiar when her soul was sent back in time to witness past events. In the body of Melqart, a fellow Warlock of Attiq'usu, Aya's Familiar manifested as a blood red raven called Blood of the Lamb. Back in the present Aya summoned her Familiar back to her, however because Melquart still lived and Blood of the Lamb bound to her, Attiq'usu granted Aya a small winged snake, called Marsh Marrow, though due to the way of his speech he is known by his nickname Marshmellow. Mashmellow is incredibly loyal, kind and supportive of Aya but due to his less than intimidating looks Aya treats him coldly.

## Relationships

**Attiq'usu:** Aya and her patron have a rocky relationship, though there is some degree of mutual respect. Most of the time Aya tends to listen to him, though there are occasions where they bicker which result in minor punishments, such as taking away Aya's voice. Whenever Selune inserts rays of the sun into Aya, Attiq'usu absorbs it for himself and grants her a bit of that power.

**Tim:** Aya loves Tim the Solar Demon, and genuinely wants all the best for him. He is one o the few creatures Aya does not wish any harm to.

**Sarrek Bashaa:** These two don't always get along, but when push comes to shove Aya tends to back Sarrek up, especially if it involves messing with someone. These two often bicker about minor things, and Aya is notably mean enough to Sarrek where promising to be nice to him is a valid promise to make.

**Enkara:** These two are amicable despite their difference in morality. Aya and Enkara have a special bond when it comes to tasting different things. Aya generally respects Enkara's morals and is hesitant to make fun of her. Though, it's possible Aya sees Ekara as adorably innocent in a horrendous world.

**Armaros:** Aya respects Armaros and tends to listen to his plans when they're not hindered by his lack of intelligence. When deciding the party leader, Aya often points to Armaros, especially right after Sarrek claims to be it.

**Kairos:** They had a rough beginning as Kairos replaced Armaros--someone Aya respects. She and Sarrek both made themselves out to be grand adventurers that are much better than Kairos. She tells him he's on the bottom of the totem pole, though as time passes and Kairos becomes a more common face, Aya slightly warms up to him (but not too much).

**Marsh Marrow:** Aya does not like her snake familiar, and often berates it.
