CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
Maura is a pear-shaped woman in her late twenties. Her skin is as pale as alabaster, with ethereal like blue-green undertones. Maura possesses long and straight hair, that runs down to her lower back.
Concealed beneath her mask is a strikingly attractive face, covering her face to avoid fixing her gaze directly. Where she is in possession of a third eye in the center of her brow. Nobody has ever actually gazed upon her eyes, and their color is unknown. This due to her eyes always appearing like small green flames. Though she claims her eyes were Hazel once upon a time.
She is often dressed in some kind of dark ensemble, and some form of heeled footwear. One can always expect her to have her Focus on hand at all times. She carries herself with pride, and a magnanimous attitude towards most she encounters.

BACKGROUND: Maura was born in Age 995 in a Heran Prison Colony on the Planet Konats. Deep within the Twisted Wilds, within the underbrush of the Aster Forest. Heran Prison Colony 21 was home to several of Planet Hera’s most dangerous criminals. So much so that her Mother even in her pregnant state, was considered a Maximum Security risk.
Her mother was NeFuri, a notorious space pirate who’d evaded capture for over a decade, with just her wit and conviction. It was only natural adopted such a natural determination. She’d come to know of her Mother fairly well, either through her Mothers’ tales of plunder. Or through the Galactic Patrol Criminal Database, though the identity of her Father remains a mystery.
Life in the colony was harsh, but not entirely for Maura. As she was the child of a Prisoner, she wasn’t necessarily under any obligation to remain. However, she was never allowed to venture far out of the Colony in her youth. In 1001, tragedy struck when the Kashvar, a clan of Konatsian Wizards known for their use of dark and chaotic magic, attacked the colony as a means to purge their lands of impurities. And as a result Heran Prison Colony 21 was reduced to ash and rubble.
Maura’s mother, along with many others, were massacred. Amidst this chaos, Maura discovered her latent arcane abilities, surfacing from the emotional duress. The Kashvar assailants, recognized her power and sought to perfect and control her power. Seeing her potential, they made the decision to bring her into their commune. It is here, where many youths of Konatsian descent or not were trained to harness chaotic powers. The transition was brutal, but Maura's aptitude was the key to her survival.
As she matured, so did her power and the necessity to refine it. She had all the inklings of a master of the Kashvar’s chaotic arts. Her exceptionality did not go unnoticed by the Elders, who served as overseers of the commune and teachers of the children. Many of few whispered of a prophecy she would fulfill. This prophecy was all smoke in mirrors, nothing more than a sacrificial ritual in which her magic would be feasted upon by the Kashvar. For the sake of their evolution to a higher power.
The Elders selected Maura to undergo the Ritual, and a ceremony was held unlike any before. Though grand as it was, it was shrouded in secrecy and peril. Maura never fully understood the lethal nature of the ritual, and when the night had come they would begin. Unbeknownst to her, she was not familiar with how this ritual differed from others in the past. As part of the ritual, Maura was instructed to read from an ancient Kashvaran cypher. Each syllable she uttered from the text extinguished a life around her. As one by one, she unknowingly claimed the souls of her Commune.
The ultimate price of the ritual was the unbinding of Ifros, an ancient and powerful spirit. The Kashvar had kept Ifros's soul bound to an Ocarina made of Sapphire. Ifros’ sought to claim Maura’s life as his own, and expunge her soul in place of his. Using the texts of the cypher, and her own ingenuity, she attempted to reverse the binding of Ifros. However, this was proven to be futile as his original prison was destroyed in the chaos.
With a shard of the Ocarina, she attempted to establish a contract. Using both her spirit and the shard as the catalyst. This act, however, came at a great personal cost—Maura lost her eyesight. Out of spite, and maybe even some form of respect, Ifros cursed Maura with three visages of green flames in place of the eyes she lost. Granting her new abilities she never imagined.
For most of her adolescene she’d continue to call the Commune home. Tending to the grounds, and completing her studies if for nothing but out of necessity. As her “gift” became more unbearable to withstand in more facets than one. Regularly, vying for control of her spirit and body over Ifros’ influence. Whom over time, would be subjugated by Maura a feat the Kashvar could not accomplish in Centuries.
