Telelia

Ingenium

• The Difference between Gifts and Skills is that the latter is actually practiced on. You don't earn gifts, simply are born with them. While a gift is nice, I'd rather be skilled in tormenting you

  - Telelia on her Psychokinetic abilities

• Psychokinesis

  Psychokinesis (Greek ψυχή κίνησις, "mind movement"), or telekinesis (Greek τῆλε κίνησις, "distant-movement") is an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to influence a physical system without physical interaction. Psychokinesis and telekinesis are sometimes abbreviated as PK and TK respectively. Examples of psychokinesis could include moving an object, levitating and teleporting.

  
  
  

  "My many studies and travels have all concluded into one thing: There is none other like me"

  -Telelia's Journal

  
  The "Three T's"- Telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation: the creature had it all to the point of natural affinity. Arguing in fact that it was like the senses, enhanced by mental capacity that has reached far beyond the mortal scope and limits of the creatures she surrounds herself by. By no means to trifle with this ability, time has honed the ravaged senses, or perhaps sharpened them into a fine tool, a blade to her enemies, currency to the highest bidder, or tokens for friends and virtues for lovers- what is gained through the mental communication of the Nephilim is all treasured.
  
  Note: Telelia's psychokinetic abilities have been developed through training and the ages to the point it is a variation of the senses- therefore arguable not even a magical talent anymore as its like breathing. This means she is the top of the chain when it comes to actually using these abilities. However also note that I play that most supernatural creatures have a natural barrier against invasive tactics- magic or otherwise- as the auras of these creature are naturally defensive. This doesn't mean she can't use her abilities around these creatures, it's just me as a player conciously deciding her limits. I.E. You know somebody who has something you want- its easier to simply ask than just take [mostly true]- same concept applies.

• Soul Fire

  Harkened wielder thee, and with thy hand seeds Destruction. Like fire, swarming and Eyes of the Devil's

  
  Black ebony gauntlet caught the light, what little there was that shined back. The metal pitch like the night sky, jagged like Hell had forged the weapon adorning the delicate left hand of the woman. Upon those blade-tipped ends held the ephemeral stench of thousands of mortal men who's breath still lingered upon the dark, ancient runes inscribing nearly ever inch. The Object of Protection seemed alive, willful even, and yet that cruel smile adorning the Mistress of the Raptor told a dim truth: the millions trapped in the horrific dimension, unable to truly die, Fated only to simply vanish at the maddening whims of a simple immortal soul- and she damned well knew it too.
  
  The gauntlet that accompanies Telelia is made of a mystic metal, she'll claim from the heavens itself, constructed not of this world [not a lie but not truth either.] In the end it is a sentient object who's nefarious purpose is to store, steal, and harvest the souls of its victims. The weapon itself has many forms- the most common being the Naginata she so carries herself, fabled to steal the very breath of her enemies [perhaps far fetched?]
  
  Telelia's Spirit abilities are indeed magical- instead of earth bending or water bending she has taken it upon herself to transverse the realms of the soul and mind to learn how to make others bend to her will in ways many don't imagine- for Telelia the mind and soul are taboo, untouchable, and yet a single crack, a small break leading to another one...
  
  

  "You ignorant fools! Why should I mar the body when all I want is to be simply remembered? I'll etch my name into your very being, till life, your very existence is determined on my whim!"

  
  Basically- it is hard to impossible to heal mentally, let alone spiritually- and that's where she'll stick her dagger in you.

• A note

  So instead of giving a huge splurge of Histories and Personalities and just... about Telelia in general I'll perhaps give quotes and thoughts instead, let YOU as a player determine her by her actions and, again, thoughts. I figure this is much better than reading a Biography because it shows a character for who they are, not what others see
  
  If this makes sense
  
  Just know things below aren't actually spoken about IC, this is just to help understand Telelia for RP purposes

• ---

  
  The following is a splurge of thought when asked about what Telelia does to her enemies
  

  "Drown them. Drown them in Misery and Sorrow. That is what I do with my enemies, those that pry too deep in my mind.

  "Those of us Immortals have an advantage; the older we get, the more our minds are weaponized against others, it is only natural as physical strength wanes in the Twilight Years. Our Memories are our best Offense, and perhaps, Defense. But Mortals? Their lives are small, their years are nothing compared to ours. They have not lived long enough to have Misery or Sorrow, and thus crushing them is easy. I can see a whole lifetime like a movie in a theater- it's plot predictable, the concepts and story bland; I have seen it all before.

  "But Immortals... We are like fine wine, an aged spirit if you will; I can sip at an Immortal, take in the taste, swirl it around, digest it. An Immortal takes time, and time is all I have left."

  
  When asked about friends:
  

  "Friends? What of them? I cannot afford to have such a commodity. Do you know what we do with 'friends?'

  "My kind takes these loose ends of you, like a line to your soul, your psych, and we use them. We play them like a toy, an instrument. We Love friends, a tasty snack, like a cookie before dinner. Oh with friends I can do so much to my target.

  "No. I do not have friends. I will never give my enemies such a target to use against me"

  
  On Gods and Goddesses:
  

  "Deities? What an interesting question, asking me?" chuckling slightly. "Oh my, I have seen the birth of gods, the death of gods, I have seen the rise and fall of Civilizations. I have destroyed Deities, slowly sometimes, others like lightning. I have no real opinion. Life is a flow, sometimes it ebbs, even for us Immortals.

  "I, however, will not stand to a god proclaiming themselves, such absolute pride and vanity- their soul rich and powerful, all that faith mortals put into them, I love touching them, manipulation them. I can use their energies, harvest them if you will. Sometimes I even create gods just for that; playing a game for thousands of years..." at this, distance in eyes as mouth closed and thought provoking her, face becoming a stone

  "And when the time is right" she'd continue; "I come back, reckoning if you will. But if you must know, I like deities. Some of them need destroying, some of them need creating. They are the perfect beings to make contracts with, to talk to, to be allies or enemies. They are an almost constant. But if you wish, the god you decide to worship today may not survive tomorrow. It is the Law of the Universe: nothing is forever" Smiling with dark undertones

  
  when inquired about Hunts
  

  "Hunting? I don't mind hunting. I prefer my prey living, almost screaming; I love a challenge. But if you are inquiring about the Hunt of my kind? It happens. Mortals are a force when banded together, hence why any of my kind, even angels, will not tell a mortal the straight truth. They don't need it, can't handle it. And when they figure it all out, we merely give them a cookie and be on our way. Nothing really wrong with that, we didn't lie, simply don't kill ourselves by speaking too much.

  "Now the hunting of our kind by those of our kind and those with gifts? That is my favorite hunt- I love being pitted against another, seeing how clever they are, how clever I am. An adrenaline rush if you will. Or chess. I love messing with Paladins, especially when I myself am not harmed by holy magics. It amuses me."

  
  Telelia on Hell

  "I kill those who tell others 'Go to Hell'; how can you possibly wish that upon another being? Have you never visited the place? I tell you, it isn't something to even remotely go near. There are many levels, places, depending on who you are and what you do; but know this- the place is meant to break you.

  "My memory of hell is black, bleak, dark. Void of everything. There is no sound, there is no gravity, you weightlessly fall, or perhaps are just weightless in general; there is no up, down, left or right. All you see, all you feel, is nothing. Such an empty darkness. No sound, no sight, the only thing there is your mind- that's all you have. And give it time- panic seeps in as the void gets to you, you will try to scream, to cry, to feel as everything we define and call existence simply isn't there. No stimulation. Soon after that, your mind starts warring with itself, and you start believing things, seeing things, phantom touches and wisps, yet there is nothing. The place is designed so in the end you are nothing but a shell, you have crushed yourself, destroyed yourself. It is a psychological prison, a place of torment. The longer you stay, the more insane you become till eventually you are nothing.

  "It is a horrid place. Hence why I kill those who simply take it lightly enough to joke about"

  
  On her Family

  "Yes, my family is more than dysfunctional. My Father raped my Mother. I was born, and against all odds she actually loved me- and through that I was able to wield the Holy Magics- as she were and angel. And my Father? He's on of the Seven Princes of Hell.

  "Now, now, nothing big about that. If we had a family reunion I'd have like 200 cousins. They, the Seven, fucked everything. They have children they don't even know about. It's quite funny. I'm like... 13th in line? Maybe? Again, hilarious. I'm nothing, a nobody, or would be if my Father hadn't fucked Mother. I'm just special because of my heritage. After that? Psh...

  "Now this doesn't mean We the Children of the Seven don't have a place to rule, the universe and everything between and after it, we can create our own little pockets and rule those- many demons and devils do that, as well as angels. Hell we even try to invade others. Its just the way it is. But again, any real throne that I may, through blood, claim, will have to be claimed in blood- as in I'd have to go kill a lot of siblings and cousins. It's quite simply not worth it and I'd rather not even rule. Leave that to another schmuck.

  "To put it bluntly; I've been trying to avoid Hell and my Father and kin. I've stolen enough from him that he's pissy, let alone all the favors I owe him. It is better if he doesn't know where I am at"

  
  On Weapons and Magic

  "It is foolish to think that a Mage doesn't need to study the arts of using a weapon, or even better self defense. A Mage has very little time, granted they are the best time managers I've ever met, to get a spell going; you have to "charge" it up, make sure its not only enough to maim your opponent, but also knock them off, or out. You don't want them getting up. Mages don't normally have the strength to use heavier armours, and rely on speed to get away and cast. They are soft and close-up are no match to a trained fighter, hell, hardly a match to a simple minded peasant wielding a sword.

  "Thus, when the energy runs out, what do you have? Nothing? Foolish I tell you! Thus why one needs to learn defense- even wielding a staff helps defend against a blade! Live to fight another day. And thus why I'm knowledgeable in many arts; swords, staff, the bow and arrows and some minor forms of hand to hand. I will not be caught defenseless!"

  
  On Teaching

  "Teaching- now that is interesting. I can teach, I can show you the cosmos, I can help you discover the spark inside; my unique abilities can give students advances, give leaps and bounds- years of training in mere moments. And yet? Do I? No. My information is sacred, its bartering chips. If I were to teach, it would be at great costs. I do not freely give my knowledge of the arcane and the archaic.

  "Could you imagine? Me teaching the arts of the mind? The spirit? Basic elemental training? Healing? Actually pulling that spark out of a student by manipulation and then showing through mind melds how to do things? I tell you, years in moments..."

  
  
  On thralls

  "I gave them what they wanted; all life desires peace and power. I gave them that- they shall have the power to bend the world around them, to manipulate, to kill and create. I have given them peace in their hearts so they know no fear...

  "It was by their own arrogance for them to think I'd let them live their old lives." For you see, she did give them power, but the price was high. The Elite of her thralls had no eyes to see, no tongue to confess, no ears to hear, no hunger to sate, no feelings to be had. They were mindless. For the True Peace came with having no Will to call Your Own.

  
  On Friendships

  "There is no Friendship in Hell; only Resources and Cannon Fodder.

  
  Differences of Planeswalking and Voidwalking

  In the beginning, there was darkness. Before life. Before Light. Before Time had started, there was the Absolute. No emotion, no life, no death, void of all, of everything. Existence and nonentity, one in the same. And then, when Light was created, the Separation happened and was deemed good, and the Void resented it.

  "Planeswalking is where one travels to another plane of existence- one merely opens a portal and can just step onto the other plane. Like a mirror showing Wonderland, just step right through. A good example is opening a door to a whole new room. There are worlds many don't know exist with fantastical creatures that boggle the mind and imagination.

  "But Voidwalking... The Void is the space between the dimensions, the universes. There is nothing there, that is quit literally Hell. Many call it hell thinking its all brimstone and fire, that's actually you journeying there, but everybody's journey is different... but they all end up in the same black space. Time passes you by, a whole universe can be destroyed and created and you wouldn't know it, or wouldn't care of it. Nothing can touch you there, but there is no touch. It's devoid of everything, and because of it, they who come from there hate everything.

  "There are many prophecies of the Outsiders invading, eating the sun, the moon, the stars, all life. The Void destroys indiscriminately, your soul isn't even safe from their grasp. Their powers are unthinkable because the exist outside of existence itself. It's hard to think about it in the complexity, the gravity needed to understand, and we simply can't. We who are all born have a set date to die, Outsiders are never born, they just simply are. They are will incarnate if you can think of it, perhaps soulless beings.

  "But know this, traveling the Void is dangerous- once it touches you there is no "erasing" that print off of you. The powers the Void can bestow upon you, to wreak havoc, to dissimulate at a molecular structure, to literally erase somebody from all of reality, it comes at a heavy cost: using them rips the fabric of reality, letting more and more of them (Outsiders) in. The more you use this power, the more you tear holes into reality, the wider the door is to the Void. They will come in, destroy the planet, the galaxy, the Universe; like the ocean taking islands whole, never to be seen again.

  "It is unwise to travel the cosmos like I have; there are things out there even I don't know about, and those things will kill you."
