| She was born the youngest daughter of the King of the land of Sembia. Her birth name was Laylia. She was raised in the lap of luxury. Anything she wanted, she got. She was surrounded by servants, was highly educated in things such as reading, writing, history, races, economics, and politics. She was interested in relegions as well, but her father did not want her to learn much of that topic. There were a few temples dedicated to God's in her city, and he did not want her to learn of them. She was an exquisite beauty. Her father was very protective of her, she was never allowed to leave the home without an escort. He had plans of marrying her off as soon as she turned 16, of using her as a political pawn to make his family richer and more connected then they already were, and to make powerful and rich allies. She had other plans however. She knew her father loved her, and she loved him, but she did not want to be given to some man she did not know in a marriage of convenience. She became very good at sneaking out of her house. One night, at the age of 15, after she was supposed to be in bed, she snuck out through her window. Climbed down the trellis and disappeared down the alley. She wandered the city streets, wearing a cloak pulled tight around her form, so no one would recognize her. It was not late, had only just grown dark. Her plan was to travel to the temples, and learn what she could of the God's. And learn of the God's she did. She met a priest of Sune. And he taught her all she ever wanted to know about Sune, the other Gods, but most especially about Sune. He was the Head Priest of the temple, and she was instantly caught up in the wonder of Sune. As he father was making plans to marry her off, she made plans to Join the church. She left her home, and became an Acolyte and changed her name to Charisma. After only a short few months, she told the head priest she was ready for the ritual, she wanted to be a full Priestess. He Told her no at first, that no one was ready for at least a year. But the next morning she was summoned to him, and told that the ritual would start that evening. She spent the day readying herself, wondering what changed his mind, but happy he did. Charisma entered the temple's worship room at dusk, her long flowing red robes swaying around her bare feet. Walked to the front of the church and looked up at the Symbol of sune above her, not paying attention to the collection of Priests and Priestesses watching her. She stoped when she reached the altar and let her robes fall from her body. letting the light of the candles and the glow of Sunes symbol bath over her perfect, naked body. She fell to her knees before the symbol and began her prayer. But something that no one had ever seen before happened. Before the head priest could start his ritual spell, the area around the altar began to cover in a red mist. The viewing priests and priestesses could see the outline of a stunningly beautiful woman appear in the mist with Charisma. The woman, who was without a doubt a Manifestation of Sune herself, reached out her hand to touch Charisma's face, and spoke to her. None but Charisma, and the head priest heard the words, but all in the room knew that this woman had been accepted into thier order, and that she was special to the Goddess in some way. Sune bent down and placed a kiss on Charisma's cheek, and then disappeared. The fog cleared and Char stayed on her knees, a smile touching her lips. The head priest came to her, and helped her to her feet, pulled her into his arms and welcomed her to the holy order of Sunites. Many years passed, and Charisma's power grew. She joined an adventuring band, traveling the world, spreading the words of Sune. She was a very enthusiastic Sunite, and not a town did they pass that she did not convert many..A Terrible thing happened in the realms though. Which was known as the Time Of Troubles, or The Fall of the Avatars. The Gods were cast from their homes by the high God, and forced to take on human hosts until an item was returned to the heavens. Sune chose Charisma as her host. Char gladly gave her body to her Goddess. Her mind and body was one with her Goddess for the time Sune was stuck on the realm. And when Sune returned home, she left a piece of herself with Char. (her aging process slowed, making her almost immortal, and leaving her the most powerful sunite in the realm) She continued to travel the realms, making many friends along the way, finally settling in one area, where she became the head priestess of her own church. Here she saw to the day to day duties of the clergy. Nowhere near as exciting as the life she once lived, but she would never let her live get boring. And it was here, within the temple that her life, her future, her destiny took on a whole new direction. It was here that she met Paradox. At first, nothing more then friends, then they became lovers. Then the relationship grew beyond that. Now she has traveled with him, and his daughter Kaeyleigh, to Quadris. She is there to help Dox train his daughter, and to prepare her for the future. A future that is starting to look bleak to Charisma. |
