This character, Julianna, has blazing golden hair, and is one of only
two pure-elven characters in the world so blessed. The other elf
factors in the story in a way that is mysterious, dramatic, and
as-yet-unexplained. She is, of course, attractive. (Though being
tabletop this shows up mainly in a very long initial character
introduction and is just assumed afterward.) The actual in game play
stresses her powers and angst. Julianna is the daughter of the highest
priestess in the whole of this land. Her mother was tragically killed
by the main antagonist, a servant of Hell trying to reconquer the land
of the living. She witnessed this event and has extreme guilt,
nightmares, depression, a homicidal hatred of the undead, and a
tendency to manifest all of this by rising into the air and flaming
them. (She, as a chosen servant of the main God of Fire has the
ability to fly and create fireballs.) She retains a magic sword from
her lineage as the daughter of the Great Phoenix, which can be used to
channel her powers and make her proficient in melee. She is also a
potent psionic, with mind bolt, telepathy, telekinesis, empathy and
mind shield-type powers. She was raised by a foster family, but never
accepted by them since she lacked the typical skills they wanted—and
her step-sibling had them. Eventually, she fled and lost control of
her powers for a time from the combined hurt and rage. It resulted in
some, um, violent episodes. And, now she has the extra guilt of what
she's done there to add to the pile.
The main antagonist in the game is the one who killed her mother, and
most of the campaign is centered around her fulfilling (rising from
the ashes to?) her ultimate role as the Great Phoenix. This will
restore order in the land, as the Greats are the only ones who have
the power to stand against Hell itself.
So, barring the current plan of just turning on her at the end and
joining Hell. (Being a lich is fun, right?) What else can be done?
(Note, not sure its very IC for my PC to do that. Ok, it's not at all.
But, what I should say is I'm not sure EVEN Julianna can drive her to
do it.And I was banking on that.)
