Character Details:
Name: Саша Ставрович "Sasha Stavrovich"
Alias(es): Саша "Sasha"
Names used moving through human society Human Society: "Александр" Alexandr, "Александра"-Alexandra
Race: Fae, Unseelie Court
Level: Elder
Apparent Age: 22
True Age: 888
Type/Element of Magic: Air
Weapons: Ornate silver finger claws given in exchange for helping trick Alexandra Feodorovna into trusting Rasputin to increase his personal power.
Profession:
Model - Sasha has over the years of studying human wants and hungers learned to augment elements that can draw in a person, and often seeks to present these elements be they masculine or feminine to get the desired response from others and evoking a physical allure. This was learned through observation and of course the trial and error in seeing what means people tick. She will model or do minor acting seeing it as a sort of art and extension of the Glamor.
Skills:
Con/Persuade: The beauty is the baited hook and the words she speaks can be very soft, whispered and ultimately guide you to salvation or doom as she sees fit. She has through the era's seen how humans act, their vices and in turn has learned to work those buttons she senses to get what she wants. It is a gift of charismatic speech given to a captive audience of the physical beauty-After all if one tries hard enough one my even lie to oneself successfully and move mountains. She can be very personable, but self evasive.
Herbology: Sasha has learned living the forests until such time as beauty was the grace by which the world seemed to run, to this end the skill of mixing herbs and plants to craft drugs has been learned. This is usually employed for pleasure educing concoctions to lower ones resistance to persuasion or numb the mind to being more agreeable or simply hallucinogenic that she uses the wind to float about her if not coat her wings to give off as they flutter. These little powders of course are dependent upon one being able to be affected by such things it is how Rasputin was rumored to be nearly impossible to kill as he simply felt no pain.
Powers:
Subconscious Glamor Augmentation: Sasha can enhance the glamor needed to seem quite beautiful, and slowly over time and exposure change to reflect what the viewer likes. It is a subtle shift as Sasha can seem like the most delicate handsome androgynous creature with traits to seem masculine where needed, and feminine where needed. It can be very taxing and after roughly 18 hours Sasha often seeks solitude to be able to "stop being what others wish to see and living up to their expectations."
Winged flight: Sasha flies using small wings on her back, this is of course taxing as it would require the flexing and relaxing of minute muscles in the back. Diving in this fight can be quicker than climbing of course and usually she can do this for nearly 5 minutes at top speed and 7-8 for a hover provided there is no strain such as gaining altitude. Using the affinity for wind can be used to boost this to 12 minutes but costing that usage of wind. Speed of course with the aerodynamics is slow as she has never had to drive to train it or develop it and thus limited to that of a jog horizontally of that of a tree climb vertically.
Element of Air: With an affinity to Air she can call it for tasks such as a buffeting shield, a force attack to knock one to the ground not unlike a strong invisible fist if focused tightly and a very rough ability to pull things to her or drive them away. This of course has an audible component as things make noise when buffeted by the wind and if she were so willing she can aid her flight to an additional 2 minutes per post but such aid is painful and limited to one such augment to avoid wing strain. She may doe this three Posts which is akin to the old lore in Witchery of "The Power of Three" lastly this gift, she can play the game of physics by pushing the wind at an immoveable object and shoot herself out of harms way, the landing is quite rough and painful as one might expect and not something she would wish to do for fear of injury or marring her features. It is subject to the same rule of three in usage.
Weaknesses:
Insecurity: Being beautiful over so many years, so many faces has lead to an uncertainty in Sasha. Who are we really but what others see? This manifests in often seeing people as nothing but concepts, and thus be quite hard to get attached to on a deeper level. Really, to be direct Sasha is quite unsure who they were when they started, what the person was like before they first started been what others sought in the reflection of this androgynous being. This can be seen in some relations as Sasha will always seek to be the mirror that reflects your own expectations but rarely wishes to be seen behind it.
Addiction: Sasha has been ingesting substances so long and building up a resistance that they always come off as slightly detached and can sometimes seem without direction other than personal pleasure and comfort. It can also possibly be the numbing of oneself to what has happened and being transplanted to an alien land quite alone.
Fickle/Flighty: Being one with the air usually has consequence (particularly when one ingests a base mild hallucinogenic at the least) every waking moment. She can appear playfully distant- disinterested, or distracted right in the middle of conversations or change her feelings about a subject rapidly. This can lead others to think Sasha truly has little interest in what's going on or being said or really only cares about what Sasha wants.(Usually as a result of her Narcissism) This is partially true but also not, Sasha is drawn by everything and can change modes of thought or points of interest on a dime due to the sensory input depending upon what she is actually seeing and how important it is at THIS very moment. You can see this in how the augmented glamor works as it slowly changes over exposure to people and their evolving tastes. When the moment is over Sasha will move to a new thing, always seeking to see and experience everything.
Guilty past: It is one thing to see humanity is simply a moment in the wind, but it is quite another to see the effects of your actions that causes someone you care about die the slow, lingering death of radiation exposure. watching them rot while the mind inside still functions as their bones liquify and they finally succumb. Humans, silly things they are can get under the unwary Fae's skin and even if Sasha will not admit it there is a lingering sense of responsibility for all the chaos that resulted in a simple selfish pursuit and lack of thought. Way, way down deep inside the Fae there is the stark naked truth that widescale death and nature destruction resulted from that game. This guilt manifests in nightmares and at times when 100% sober a deeper self analysis that perhaps one of the few humans with insight and a magical spirt rotted to nothing all for a silly meaningless game and experiment. (This feeds into the addiction to craft a distance and experience to preoccupy) During bad trips this guilt can play out in speaking to the dead, seeing humans as walking corpses that are terrifying.
Narcissism: Sasha automatically assumes to be the most alluring, tempting treat on the table in all situations in a physical sense. She can always see herself far more ahead of the game than she may really be which can lend itself to some difficulty.
Inability with Tech: Sasha cannot drive, detests it and also has no sincere understanding about anything above a smart phone. This includes guns, computers and more day to day things.
