![]() Backstory End of an Era timeframe - Ariadne is a cipher wrapped in an enigma cloaked in secrecy - she has appeared throughout history countless times, a trail of blood and horror that snakes through much of recorded human history dating back to ages long lost, and yet precious little is known of her actual involvement. Summoned by fuuinjutsu masters who invariably met with nightmarishly grotesque ends, appearing to adventurers when the Wyld spills over into the mortal realm and leaving nothing in her wake when she recedes once more - for as many times as she has appeared it is curious indeed that so few legends surrounding her exist, little more than scattered references in the writing of the mad and the damned. She has been said to be a youkai, but no youkai will claim her as one of their own, nor will the few who have met her or know anything about her speak of it. The Elemental Dragons themselves start at her name, but strangely enough they do not take action other than to stop her rampages. That she is ancient enough to have known the predecessors of many of the current Greater Elemental Dragons is troubling, but no history of her can be found in any of the realms she has polluted with her presence. Ariadne herself volunteers no answer, content to whet her eternal bloodlust on whatever victims she can find, but keeps to herself enough that there is little need to pay much attention to her in lieu of the more consistently destructive forces at work in the Wyld and the Fields alike. Personality End of an Era timeframe - The very air around her seems thick with the skittering of millions of tiny legs even as the mind fogs, dulled by the weave of nonexistent webbing that nevertheless seems to tickle and sway with every thought. Her mere presence is suffused with loathing and cruelty that can drive a man to madness - a constant aura of fear surrounds her, one that suffuses even the most innocent of words and mannerisms with lethal intent and terror born of raw insanity. She revels in it, sadism honed to a razor's edge driving her ever forwards to inflict fear so overwhelming that the mind simply shatters under the pressure. Victims, summoners, innocents - she terrorizes each with equal abandon, paying mere lip service to the protection wards wise summoners use while waiting for an opportunity to bypass them and strike. Something in her past drove her well beyond the brink of madness; the vicious intelligence that sparkles in her eyes is tinged by the all-consuming madness that flickers just below the surface, only barely repressed by a world that she seems every bit as uncomfortable in as those in her presence feel for her. There are hints of something more, of the woman she might have once been, in the strange things she says, in the way she holds herself; power is her birthright, dread might that simply twists and shatters the world in the rare occasion she deigns to draw upon the least of it. She claims to be the embodiment of hatred and betrayal, but the bitter smile she wears belies those words, hinting that even if - if - they are the truth now, perhaps they once were not. Relationships End of an Era - Astaroth: Already summoned in the past. She calls him "love" for unknown reasons, though probably not for romantic reasons; he loathes her with every fiber of his being, based on past events currently unknown.
