Character Summary

Known in the beginning as Morgan Faelwen, this Elven woman came into the pre-Heartless world a sweet tempered and gentle girl in the recluse monarchy of Elfheim. Following the cursed sleep of the elven Prince and the ensuing calamity, Morgan had been introduced to aggressive magic by way of her dogmatic father. This decision brought on not personal safety, but profound danger: the workings of Dark magic attracted the attention of a Shadow Lord and his minions. Morgan's parents fell, and so too had some of her peers. Thus began Morgan's forced service as a Shadow Lord's puppet...

(To ask her of this experience, the Elf would both be unable to recollect much. Even the concept of time has escaped her...)

Following a most unexpected salvation (see: BG), Morgan was ushered into the Kingdom of Corneria and it is there that she continues to recover. Present day -- known now as Morgan Albaste -- she merely wishes to live functionally, but her past continues to haunt her by way of her unexpected repertoire of sinister magic and a carefully veiled wellspring of fear.

All things considered, though she has been through some nasty mojo, Morgan is neither an angst-fest or an anti-social woman. She is in fact rather peaceful, with most of her demons kept solely to herself.

Personality

Morgan is both an adept black mage and a woman who, by inverse, is truly is not a chaotic sort. She had been born in the small town of Elfheim to a couple of married elves who saw fit to -- in their short time with their child -- to instill upon her a sense of propriety. What this means is that Morgan minds her P's and Q's; to the public eye she is a profoundly well-mannered and gregarious sort that only employs her fearsome magic into the protecting of herself and others she cares for.

When her parents and town were lost to her at the hands of the Heartless cause, followed by the Shadow Lord Malachy’s possession, even that hasn’t dampened Morgan’s rather gentle nature. She actively knows naught of the fearsome woman she had become; she simply does not recall -- save for murky bitss of memory when faced with appropriate stimuli -- what happened during that time. Only in slumber, or the brink of it, is Morgan completely susceptible to both memories and nightmares regarding her forced service.

But despite her calmness and immense need to be useful, there IS a side to Morgan that is playful. Kind. Altruistic. For the seed of black magic planted into her, as a child, was that of a far simpler cause: defence. Morgan does not crave power so much as she craves knowledge, so therefore this also marks her as an effective scholar. Magic to Morgan is as natural as drawing breath.

Morgan is not all about serenity, however. She is capable of anger, which augments the nature of her spell-casting. Of sadness, felt deeply and without shame. Of love and appreciation, given to those special sorts in the form of reliability and protection. She is overall a /stable/ woman, but of course.... there ARE faults. The other side of the coin speaks of Morgan's old habit of keeping her problems and past to herself. She is not an angsty sort, but when asked about her upbringing she is apt to skate over the 'good' points, keeping it all vague, as opposed to delving too deeply into the harder, 'character-building' stuff. It takes time and loyalty to override Morgan's secrecy.

But overall she truly is a /good/ person; not chaotically so but Morgan serves as a stable foil in a world that can so often be wild. She honestly cares about those around her, so long as the feeling is mutual. Otherwise, she is quick to withdraw her altruism. She wishes only to pick up the pieces of what is left of her life, and not let the great tragedy of her past get her down.

Dislikes: Loud noises, chaotic situations, obnoxious sorts. Morgan is also no fan of being used in a manner of her assets being drawn upon without gratitude, or of people taking advantage of her good nature. And though she will not admit, while enjoying solitude, Morgan actually hates being completely, utterly alone. She harbors a fear of being left behind.

Quirks: For whatever reason, Morgan hates beetles. As an elf she is given to a love for all things great and wild, but there IS this exception. A mishap in her youth of a beetle on the defense spritzing a foul mist of noxious fumes from it's rear end into her face may be the cause.... hey, go figure. Seeing beetles of any shape and size causes Morgan to practically jump out of her skin which to some who know her well, this may be quite entertaining. Other little foibles come in the form of her /truly/ not enjoying her ears being touched, given their sensitivity.. and the very same extends to her feet. A point, too: Morgan loves wine, but she cannot hold her liquor.

Ability Overview: Combative and Non-Combative

Black Magic - (Key Elementals: Dark, Ice): Morgan, though she tries not to let on, packs a mean punch when it comes to 'nefarious' magic. Her acute proficiency with darkness does not mark her as a tyrant, however; this is merely the result of her father's teachings back in the day and what he thought was 'right'. But, why not make the best out is what is taught, right? Morgan harbors venerable skill with magic overall, but as noted already she excels in dark and chilly incantations.

Enhanced Senses - Sight, Sound, Touch: All messy stuff aside, Morgan was born an Elf, and this bestows unto her an acute advantage to some of her senses. She is a sensual being who is aware of her surroundings, stemming back from her earlier life in a forested area and the lack of ‘modern’ distractions to detract from her enlightenment. Her vision is sharp, she can hear incredibly well, and her skin is sensitive. This could be a good and back thing: injuries linger and hurt moreso, but by inverse Morgan greatly enjoys the touch of or touching anything that interests her.

Dexterity: More Elf mojo… Morgan can move quickly, delicately and gracefully. Not just reserved for speed, but she is very deft with her hands and can perform very precarious tasks.

Longevity: Another racial boon… Morgan has the capacity to live for a very long time. She has already witnessed two centuries, with plenty more to come if circumstances and luck are on her side. Her physiology warrants a metabolism and resilience against illnesses that allows her kind to live for such a long time. Though not immortal, Fiell ages slowly, and to the naked eye resembles a young adult. This is exactly what she is racially: a young Elf. She has in fact been alive for approximately 250 Hume years, by now.

Seamwork: Morgan is very capable with a needle and thread, and can very masterfully weave attire from scratch /or/ repair some of the more grievous damage... just short of something being tattered! This is (behind the scenes) her main form of income, though it can also serve as an RP-hook if desired.
