NAME: Myrena Blackblood
CLASS: Cleric
DEITY: Corath
RACE: Human
AL: Chaotic Neutral
*Chaotic Neutral is a difficult alignment to play for anyone, but I will make it work. It is not preferred alignment to play, but a necessary "evil" at this point. I think with Myrena's mentality out of the gate, it can be quite appropriate.

HAIR: Black
EYES: Black

HISTORY AS TOLD BY MYRENA
Who are they to question me? Why is it they feel they are the only ones with the only true answers to Layonara? Why do they deny the very feelings and instincts that drive them?

I can tell you why...

Fear.

They do not want you to know what I know. They do not want you to feel what I feel. They will never understand the oneness that a cleric of The Black Sun has with one's self and one's deity. Though I am one of Corath's chosen clergy, I do his "special" work. Whenever there is discord to be sewn, I sow it. Whenever there is a threat to the Corathite faith, I end it. Whenever mysteries need to be discovered, I unravel them. Whenever there is war to be had, I draw the first blood. Whenever there are infiltrators needed, I fill the role. Do not get me wrong, I do not kill for joy or torture for kicks like some of my comrades. No, I simply do what must be done. To defeat my enemies, I must understand them, empathize with them, become them--as long as I never loose sight of Corath...

You see, I am not just one of the Mad God's chosen, I am one of his Disciples. We do not sit in dark temples waiting for the next sinister plot to spin, we go out into all realms of Layonara and make them happen. To wear a hood and skulk around the shadows is a role to be filled like any other in any faith, but there are clergy who are sent to accomplish real tasks without being cast as the "evil cleric" at first glance. Enter me...

One could say that my childhood was blaise. To be born and raised in Arabel can have its dangers and shortcomings, but like most children there, I found a way to make to survive its pitfalls. My true father is unknown to me and my mother was a simple to some of the wealthiest of merchants. Growing up on the streets of Arabel taught me much of life and hardship.

At the ripe age of 8 years of age, my mother explained that I was no longer going to be living with her. She made it clear that it was for the best. "The best", as she put it, was my being sold to the nearby Temple of Corath. I was certain they were going to use me as a as they did my mother, but much to my surprise they had other plans for my fate.

Brought before High Priest Himlark was an intimidating affair having never really been in the presence of greatness before. He explained to me that I was to serve him as his personal acolyte and that I would eventually be brought into the Clergy of Corath. As the years passed, I saw that my training was a bit different than my peers. Though I was educated in religion and politics, I was also trained in the arts of war, assassination, insurrection and infiltration. When I asked why my training was different than the other acolytes, he answered simply, "Because you serve in the discipline of Corath, not just the faith..." I never really understood his answer until many years later.

At the ripe age of 18 years old, I have now been released from my training and set about on my first objectives. My mother died years back, but my concern for her well-being was lost the moment she sold me.

I now find myself in Hlint with my tasking. I find myself anxious to prove myself to Corath's chosen leaders in my duties. They will soon see that I was trained well and a natural for this kind of work...

The blood of my enemies will only sate my thirst when I use their bodies to serve your cause.

1. I have read and understood the information available on Corath and I will do my best to RP a cleric of Corath.

2. Myrena believes that all the aspects of Corath are simply the raw, uninhibited themes of life, only seen as "evil" by others because they deny the temptation to give in to their base emotions and thoughts. Deception, lies, hatred and lust come naturally to all beings with murder and the spilling of blood being activities that are simply part of the progression of life. Death, in all forms, is to be embraced because it too is "natural". Undeath is simply a manifestation of unresolved death. Myrena does not actively attempt to perform these acts, she just simply lets them occur instead of reigning them in.

3. Myrena wears black, not only because it is the chosen of Corath and she likes the color, but because it has fucntionality beyond its look (camoflauge, concealing of bloodstains, etc). Not every situation calls for it, such is the infiltration of a "light" aligned group of enemies or camoflauge in the snow, etc. As for the use of the shortsword, Myrena does see it as an elegantly simple weapon, but not practical in all circumstances. She much prefers to use magic and her bare hands because weaponry is not always available in her line of work.
