⊰ ═════════ ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ ═════════ ⊱
Erys Ossaine has a past shrouded and mystery. Her origins are not often spoken of. Some ask. Some never quite bother. Or some shy away in fear of attaching themselves to someone not often easy to get along with. Unstable, once immortal and aged oddly. Even then she would utilize her years and experience, moving forward and becoming a known name. Her last decade of activity included an illustrious position amongst elven nobility of Summerset to a cure for a debilitating affliction of vampirism to strange relationships and stranger bonds.Unfortunately some things never quite change. A war amongst clans in her native lands of the Reach had saw to it that she would have hands tied yet again. Following a bloody battle alongside her Lord and her beloved, they would see her collapse before their very eyes. Pierced through the very skull, dropping instantly. There was no chance to save her. Erys Orraine was dead. Her life after centuries of undeath snuffed out before the season could even pass. It was agonizing to those bereaved.But through the magicka and the very skill of her Lord, she would preservere. Preserved with her broken form. In the haze of memory she recalls him visiting her watery grave in the bowels of his palace, his domain, as she watched onward helplessly. She would witness him mourning her. Speaking where she could not respond. And so her time in undeath once again was used to shift through dreams and mindstates alike, taking in the inevitability that she might never live again. But through this strange state of undeath, something had changed.These memories are fragmented but one thing was clear, she had emerged from the water and flowers and ivy with her hands upon stone, feeling and seeing and breathing once again. Her senses burnt with the onslaught of everything at once. Light. Sound. Touch. Scents unsmelled for months. It was amazing, and she was in awe. Now imbued with the chaotic creatia found in Fargrave and the magic of a Great Welkynd Stone, she had been revived. Now irrepairably changed, bound to the Celestial Palanquin. But alive. It was all that had mattered to her.Once she got her bearings, she would take her newborn children who had gone months without a mother and retreat. She would leave Summerset and recluse herself for nearly a year and some months before emerging into the world again, under a new name and a new face, seeking to fulfill her desires once more.

strengths
↠ Dreamwalking | To Wander the Dreamstride
After a second death, she drifted along the emptiness of the mind through the assistance of a former lover.

Capable of feats of a wide arrange of skills from her long life, she has master the ways of teleporation, telekinesis and now through her magicka imbued inks, magicka and spell absorption.↠ Spearman | Impaling Enemies Easily

Weaknesses
↠ The Burden of Immortality | Mental Decay
Unlike the natural stability and longetivity of the races of merfolk, she was never meant to live this long. Unable to cope with the inevitable ways she has outlived her kin and more throughout her days, she suffers considerably for it. Known to occassionally be neurotic and prone to abandoning others, she has angered many in her careless ways.↠ To Behold a Beast Un-Mortal | Anti-Daedric Magic
While she was never good with skills like restorative magic due to her lack of training in life and subsequent undeath, she is even more prone to having issues with anti-daedric magic as a result of her unnatural existence.↠ Magickal Burnout | A Star That Burns Too Bright
On occassion, when she absorbs too much she would need to expel it.If she cannot in time, there are consequences. Sometimes illness. Sometimes worse.

◈ Treasa E. Blackthorn | The Most Promising Protegee, Adored
"You were the second, along with your sister Asteria that I had taken under my wing. You both turned out to be astonishing women. Both powerful in your own right. Although I wish Asteria showed better promise as a monster hunter, you excelled the best in felling such beasts. You serve House Decentius in my stead. Bring honor to our clan where I did not."◈ Asteria V. Blackthorn | The Scholar of Gwylim, Adored
"You and Treasa were inseparable as children, and now as adults. It was an honor to raise you both alongside your elder sister. To be so intelligent to study in Gwylim of all places! And now you, too, serve my Emperor. Do him well, and serve with great dignity."◈ Elena & Eltrys Blackthorn | The Twins, Adored
"Giving birth to you two was my greatest blessing. To raise my own again will be another. Now, nearly a year old, do you two still astonish me. Please, be as beautiful and as fearsome as your elder sisters."◈ Silas Frostfang | Ex-Husband, Respected & Admired
"Though our marriage had withered, we parted on equal terms. We each take turns rearing our precious children. So fierce. They look like the perfect blend of us. Let our friendship continue to blossom where our love did not."◈ Ephemerus Calicero | An Everlasting Pair, Loved
"We have not seen each other in a year, but still I remember your voice. Your touch. Your presence. We walked dreams together and bonded through our ethereal consciousnesses. If you find your way back to me, I know it will be like we never parted at all."◈ Redoran Athyn Severin | Consul of Anchruhn Fel, Complicated & Desired
"You vex me. I desire you. I..no longer know what to make of you. You taunted me at first. Pissed me off. Made me...feel so strange, so conflicted. Even then, I find myself at your side. Your warmth. Your gaze. Everything makes my heart beat like it will burst from my chest. Your grip upon me is more than enough to make me wish I could tear you apart with my own hands."
Associates & acquaintances
◈ Vivayth | The Witch of the East, Wary & Complicated
"You stir something within me. A need. A strangeness I cannot place my finger upon. A game we play, much like my employer. A tug and pull of our wits once again with each other. We both knash our teeth and I find that I quite like your bite. Whether or not it will end up with you at my throat is anyone's guess."◈ Gigi | Crimson Maiden and Mischief Incarnate, Liked
"You call me old and I find that I quite like hearing it from you. We've spent time together, so much so that I had a chance to relax for once. I miss you. I've not seen you in some time. Perhaps...it is time to seek you out again."
organizations & alliances
◈ House Decentius | Deserted
"I led my family here for prosperity and found it in abundance. I am grateful for the opportunities shared, and realized that I could no longer to afford to linger myself. While they remain and seek ennoblement, I seek seclusion and freedom. I only hope that my Lord bears no ill will unto me for my decisions."◈ House Severin | Retainer
"I have abandoned the West and Central lands of High Rock and Cyrodiil for an arrangement I never thought I would take. As a retainer, I will do my utmost to not disappoint you, my Lord. May my blade soak in the blood of your enemies."
