Theraxana's long, flowing hair cascades in a cascade of black, shimmering with faint hints of Astral energy, reaching down to her waist. It is meticulously styled, often braided intricately with thin strands of gold, showcasing her attention to detail and sense of refinement. She occasionally weaves her hair with delicate, enchanted ornaments that enhance her magical abilities and serve as symbols of her status.


Dressed in regal attire befitting her aristocratic status, The Magister favors garments that exude an air of  noble sophistication. She is often seen wearing flowing, regal sheer gowns made from fine fabrics in deep shades of purple or black, adorned with bands of gold embroidery that trace the edges of her garments, shimmering in the light and giving her an air of opulence. These gowns are tailored to fit her form flawlessly, emphasizing her poise.


The collared mantle is made from luxurious golden fabric, lined with the finest silk that cascades down her back. The collar itself is studded with extensive filigree work, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship that went into its creation. Embedded within the collar are a series of extravagant gems, including rubies, emeralds, and sapphires, carefully set to catch the light and radiate captivating brilliance.


The breastplate, worn over Theraxana's gown, is a masterfully forged piece that combines functionality with opulence. Made from gleaming golden metal, it is meticulously sculpted to fit her form. Intricate engravings of arcane symbols and sigils cover the surface, hinting at the sorcerous power that lies within her. The breastplate has elaborate designs of extravagant gems that catch the light and sparkle with clarity. Among the gems are diamonds, amethysts, and rare star sapphires, each chosen for its exceptional quality and rarity. These gems are not only decorative but also imbued with magical properties, enhancing her arcane abilities and providing additional protection in battle.


To complete her ensemble, Theraxana wears ornate jewelry that accentuate her status as a Magister. Delicate gold headpieces with arcane symbols rest upon her brow, signifying her mastery of sorcery. She also dons long finger rings embedded with precious gemstones, reflecting her elevated status within the Xilofete House that commands awe from those who behold her.


While her appearance exudes a sense of grandeur and nobility, there is also an underlying aura of menace and intensity that hints at her manipulative and ruthless nature.

Honesty / Honor / Loyalty / Trusting
Theraxana's sense of honesty is flexible, often using deception as tools to further her agenda.

Activities

Theraxana Xiolfete is a master manipulator and power player within the Xaryxian Court, and she utilizes her connections and resources to further her own agenda. One of her key activities is contracting the services of the Moonshadow Guild for various nefarious purposes, including the disappearance of political rivals who stand in her way.


Through discreet and secretive arrangements, Theraxana employs the skilled operatives of the Moonshadow Guild to eliminate or neutralize individuals who pose a threat to her position or who have information that could undermine her plans. These contracts are carefully orchestrated, leaving no trace of her involvement and ensuring that her actions remain concealed within the shadows.


In addition to her dealings with the Moonshadow Guild, Theraxana dedicates a significant amount of time advising the Emperor himself. Her keen intellect and deep understanding of the intricate politics and power dynamics of the Xaryxian Court make her a valuable asset in the Emperor's decision-making process. She uses this position to further her own interests, subtly influencing the Emperor's decisions to align with her goals and securing her place at the center of power.


Maintaining her position in the Xaryxian Court is of utmost importance to Theraxana. She carefully cultivates alliances and manipulates relationships to ensure her influence remains strong. She attends court gatherings, social events, and political discussions, always positioning herself as a respected authority and a trusted advisor. Her ability to navigate the complex web of courtly intrigue allows her to stay ahead of her rivals and maintain her power base.


Theraxana's activities extend beyond the court, as she dedicates time to her arcane studies within the Great Orrery in the Xaryxian Imperial Citadel. She immerses herself in the study of Wildspace systems, delving into the knowledge collected by astral elf explorers and searching for new worlds that can be exploited for the benefit of Xaryxis. Her research in this realm is driven by her unwavering dedication to the prosperity and dominance of her empire.


With her calculating and cunning nature, Theraxana meticulously plans and executes her actions. She is highly strategic, weighing risks and rewards before taking any step. Her moral compass is skewed, as she is willing to resort to any means necessary to achieve her goals, even if it means sacrificing the lives and reputations of others.

Relationships

Theraxana Xiolfete's relationships are complex and strategically crafted to serve her own interests and ambitions. She forms alliances and connections that allow her to exert control and manipulate those around her, ensuring her position of power within the Xaryxian Court.


Recently, Theraxana has formed an intimate companionship with Cardon Mithcallor, also known as "Lightdust." Cardon is a skilled operative of the Moonshadow Guild, and Theraxana saw in him a valuable asset to further her own plans. Their relationship is one of convenience and shared objectives, as Theraxana contracts him for covert operations and utilizes his skills to carry out her bidding. While there may be a level of mutual respect between them, their alliance is primarily driven by their respective agendas.


As a member of the aristocratic Xilofete House, Theraxana takes on the role of mentor to Countess Antirie Xilofete, a younger member of the family. She guides and molds Antirie, imparting her knowledge and grooming her to serve the Xilofete House's interests. However, Theraxana's mentorship is far from benevolent. She is ruthless in her teachings, pushing Antirie to her limits and expecting unwavering obedience. Theraxana sees Antirie as a tool to further her own goals and ensures that her protégé remains firmly under her control by having Antirie contract under the Moon Shadow Guild as the Firepetal Assassin.


Theraxana's involvement with the Moonshadow Guild extends beyond mere contracting. She played a crucial role in the disappearance of Carric Enialis, who was investigating her connection with the guild smuggling her illegal materials to use in questionable experiments. Through calculated actions, she orchestrated Carric's removal from the equation, eliminating a potential threat to her position and exposing her involvement with the guild to a select few who could be trusted to remain silent.


One of the most secretive and significant relationships Theraxana maintains is her ongoing role as a secret consort of the Emperor Xavan Xaryxis. Behind closed doors, she shares a clandestine connection with the ruler of the Xaryxian Empire, using her influence to sway his decisions and gain further advantages for herself. This relationship gives her access to sensitive information and allows her to exert control over the highest echelons of power in the empire. She carefully guards this secret, knowing that its exposure could have dire consequences for herself at court and with the Empress. She plans to seduce and become a secret consort to Prince Xeleth Xaryxis, when he comes to power of the Empire and has already seeded the desire in his mind.


Theraxana's relationships are characterized by manipulation, control, and strategic alliances. She is not one to form genuine emotional bonds, as she sees personal connections as vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Her interactions with others are calculated and driven by self-interest, always serving her larger goals of power and dominance within the Xaryxian Court.

Combat

Theraxana Xiolfete utilizes her powers as an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer to control the minds of her opponents and manipulate the battlefield to her advantage. Her combat style is calculated and methodical, relying on her innate abilities to overpower and control her enemies.


As an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, Theraxana possesses the ability to delve into the twisted depths of the mind and bend it to her will. She can inflict psychic damage on her foes, targeting their mental defenses and exploiting their vulnerabilities. With a mere glance or gesture, she can send waves of psychic energy surging through her opponents, causing them immense pain and confusion.


One of Theraxana's primary tactics in combat is mind control. She can exert her influence over weaker-willed individuals, compelling them to fight for her or even turn against their own allies. Through her sorcerous abilities, she can manipulate the thoughts and actions of her enemies, effectively turning them into pawns in her deadly game.


In addition to her mind-controlling abilities, Theraxana is skilled in utilizing defensive spells and magical barriers to protect herself. She can erect psychic shields, rendering herself impervious to mental attacks and providing a layer of defense against physical harm. This combination of offensive and defensive capabilities makes her a formidable opponent on the battlefield.


Theraxana is a strategist at heart, always analyzing the flow of combat and looking for opportunities to exploit her opponents' weaknesses. She prefers to maintain a safe distance from the frontlines, using her spells and abilities to control the battlefield from afar. However, when pressed into close-quarters combat, she is not defenseless. She wields a slender, silver-tipped staff, adorned with arcane symbols, which she can employ as a weapon in dire situations.


In combat, Theraxana maintains a composed and dignified demeanor. She remains focused on her objectives and rarely lets her emotions interfere with her actions. She is meticulous and precise in her spellcasting, making calculated decisions based on her opponents' weaknesses and exploiting them to gain the upper hand.


However, like any combatant, Theraxana has her vulnerabilities. She is not physically resilient and relies heavily on her spells and psychic abilities to defend herself. If her concentration is disrupted or her mental defenses are breached, she can become susceptible to attacks and lose control over her powers. Thus, she must always remain vigilant and employ her strategic thinking to stay one step ahead of her adversaries.

History

Theraxana Xiolfete's history is a tale of familial pressure, ruthless ambition, and the shaping hands of the Xilofete House. From a young age, Theraxana found herself trapped in the shadow of her favored twin brother, a man who would go on to become a commander in the esteemed Xaryxian Armada. While her brother basked in the accolades and admiration of their exacting mother, Theraxana was left to endure the relentless scrutiny of a parent who believed nothing she did was ever good enough.


Haunted by the constant comparison and yearning for recognition, Theraxana made a fateful decision that would forever change the course of her life. Consumed by envy and a burning desire to prove herself, she sought a path to assert her own power and dominance within the Xilofete House. It was during this time of desperation that she first contacted the Moon Shadow Guild, a secretive and nefarious organization known for their ability to fulfill any dark request. Driven by her twisted ambition and the need to secure her own place of prominence, Theraxana contracted the assassination of her own beloved twin brother. This chilling act of betrayal marked her initiation into the treacherous world of the criminal underground and set her on a path where darkness and deceit became her allies. Later, she would seize the power of her lineage within the Xilofete House by slaying her own mother with her forbidden talents as an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer. The event was investigated and ruled as a suicide.


The matrons of the Xilofete House, recognizing her potential and willingness to go to any lengths to achieve her goals, saw an opportunity in Theraxana's ruthless nature. They nurtured and honed her skills, molding her into a woman whose every move was calculated and purposeful. Under their tutelage, she learned to harness her innate arcane talents with her skills refined and her ambitions sharpened, Theraxana was sent to the prestigious Xaryxian Academy in the Imperial Citadel. There, she further expanded her knowledge of magic and mastered the intricacies of political maneuvering. It would be later that she would rise at the Xaryxian Court, be promoted to Magister within the Great Orrery and become the secret consort to the Emperor.


Theraxana's history is one fraught with a complex web of manipulation, familial rivalry, and a thirst for power that knows no bounds. From her tumultuous upbringing under the watchful eyes of her demanding mother to her calculated and merciless decision to eliminate her own brother, she emerged as a formidable force driven by a relentless hunger for control and recognition.


As she navigates the treacherous halls of the Xaryxian Court and maintains her position as a trusted advisor to the Emperor, Theraxana remains haunted by her past and the choices she made to ascend to her current status. She is a figure shaped by the relentless expectations of her family and the dark influence of the Moon Shadow Guild, forever driven by a hunger for power and a desire to prove herself in a world where she has learned that loyalty is a rare commodity and friendship is nonexistent.

Legends (Rumors, Myths, Tall Tales)

In the annals of Theraxana Xiolfete's storied combat history, there exists a singular and momentous event where it seemed that defeat was inevitable. Faced with overwhelming odds and the prospect of an incomprehensible loss, Theraxana tapped into her most desperate and audacious strategy.


As the battle raged on, with her forces dwindling and the enemy pressing relentlessly, Theraxana realized that her usual tactics and abilities would not be enough to secure victory. In a calculated and daring move, she drew upon her deep connection to the arcane and delved into the forbidden knowledge of the Far Realm.


Opening portals to the unfathomable reaches of the Far Realm, Theraxana unleashed a torrent of otherworldly energy and aberrant creatures onto the battlefield. From the rifts emerged grotesque and twisted beings, their forms defying comprehension and their very existence unsettling to all who witnessed them. These abhorrent entities, loyal to Theraxana through her arcane influence, swarmed the enemy ranks with frenzied ferocity, creating chaos and confusion.


The sudden appearance of these nightmarish beings turned the tide of the battle in Theraxana's favor. The enemy forces, already weary and stretched thin, were ill-prepared to face the onslaught of the incomprehensible. The aberrations tore through their ranks, striking fear into the hearts of even the bravest warriors. The very fabric of reality seemed to warp and bend in the presence of these eldritch horrors.


As the battlefield descended into chaos and madness, Theraxana took advantage of the distraction to orchestrate her escape. Utilizing her innate abilities as an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, she cast a powerful Gate spell, a rift in space and time, and vanished from the battlefield in a blink of an eye. The portals to the Far Realm closed behind her, sealing the maddening energies and the aberrant creatures from returning to the Far Realm.


Theraxana's decision to open the portals to the Far Realm and release the swarms of aberrations was a desperate and dangerous move, for it invited madness and untold consequences. However, it showcased her unwavering determination to avoid defeat at any cost and demonstrated the depths of her knowledge and power. It also left an indelible mark on the minds of those who witnessed the event, forever associating Theraxana with the boundary-breaking and perilous nature of her sorcery.


This legendary act of summoning the forces of the Far Realm and deploying them as a last resort in the face of defeat has become a fabled tale among those who have crossed paths with Theraxana Xiolfete. It serves as a testament to her cunning, resourcefulness, and unwavering commitment to emerge victorious, no matter the means employed.
