Alignment: Neutral Evil. Philosophically neutral, failing to see any point in being genuinely "good".
Philosophy: You have to struggle to carve out a place in the world. Usually at the expense of others that would do it to you. Act before they do. Setbacks are nothing as failure teaches you to try harder.
Nothing motivates or teaches better than pain, be it physical or mental. Be it yours or that of others, that you endure and thrive in it proves your strength and superiority over those that do not. Your first obligation is always to yourself and never delude yourself into thinking others will think differently at their core. The promise of suffering or the means to evade it will direct them. The iron fist and the silk glove are both useful and by knowing when to use either, you direct the fate of whoever you may. Good, evil, law and chaos are all tools for the advancement of the individual. Act either way to get where you need to be but stay true to yourself.
Know exactly what others want to hear and tell them as much at your convenience. Their desires and whims are your tools, making them your puppets. When you find youself genuinely agreeing with and acting on the ideological whims of another you've failed. All the same, a closed mind rots. Should the word of another carry some worth or utility, recognise the fact or suffer for it. The suffering you know in yourself and those around you teaches cunning. Cunning, in turn, grants strength to act. With strength comes power. Power grants freedom.
Deity/Beliefs: Raised Lolthian but is in her own fashion genuinely faithful to Loviatar.
Personality:
- (examples) [u]Egotistical[/u] [i]Everything must somehow benefit her, no matter how abstract the reasoning may be in the end.[/i] [u]Machiavellian[/u] [i]People are things. She knows how they work and how to make them useful. For the most part.[/i] [/li]
Gear: Notably weaponless, more often than not. Usually dresses in ways to accentuate her figure, knowing full well that she's quite a looker.
Jewelry: Usually magical rings, obtained for their power rather than exceptional beauty. Silver earrings serve to compliment her hair at social events.
Habits and hobbies: Finds it difficult to stifle a snigger when caught up in something that stimulates her sadistic sense of fun. Believing herself mentally superior to most, she absolutely loves playing with people's heads...
General Health: Far from heroic in terms of endurace, she tires easily. Running is for the enemy too cowardly to stay and die. Somewhat susceptible to disease, poison and by extension, alcohol...
Favorite Drink: Prefers wine out of a sense of class. To indulge in such reaffirms her status and perception of supposed superiority.
Weaknesses: Maira's upbringing has left terrible mental and emotional scars, leaving her reasoning and logic somewhat twisted. The rational is irrational at times and she is at best eccentric in her views on the world around her and the ways she ought to handle it.
Is sometimes too wrapped up in studying other people and plotting to notice warning signs. While highly intelligent, she is of average Wisdom and as a result, can get impulsive when the goal is getting too close.
She is likewise impulsive when messing with those around her.
Her judgement is impaired significantly when even slightly tipsy.
