physical description

VISUAL A pale woman with eyes that swirl like liquid gold and, at times, seem to be illuminated from within with thick, dark lashes, Evelyn's face has some uneven skin tone of differing shades of paleness that she often corrects with a light powder. Though her skin is soft and supple to the touch, the markings and discoloration resemble that of marble or alabaster — reacting to wounds and impacts as stone does, with fissures and cracks appearing.

Starting at her right temple, a small fissure travels down to her cheekbone. It is darker in color and harder to hide beneath the makeup, but with how she often wears her hair, it is easy to hide. Her lips are plump and full, though often chapped or irritated from the elements or how often she chews on them out of nervous habit.

Most of the skin from the neck down is more textured looking than her face save for her hands and chest — which itself has a nasty scar, just off center to the far side of her heart ( easily hidden beneath clothes ). It is a deep scar, like someone took a knife or dagger and stabbed a statue that shattered at the impact beneath, fissuring out over some of her breast and up higher on her shoulder. The deeper part is filled in with what looks like gold, simmering in the light, and only has a slightly raised texture despite how nasty the wound was.

She has a scar on her shoulder from when she attempted to fly as a child and fell from a tree; upon impact, she broke a bone that punctured the skin. Thankfully, there was no lasting damage other than the scar. She has a few on her arms and legs from fights and battles.

Her hair is warm honey blonde with streaks/strands of gold mixed throughout. It is long, wavy, and well-maintained. Often worn loose but kept within the confines of her hood, a few rogue strands falling loose. She will often wear it in a braid.

Evelyn's eyes are gold with a soft illumination from within. That same gentle glow radiates around her, more prominent with positive emotions she feels, and disappears entirely when she is in distress, feeling sad, or other negative emotions.

Two large white wings sprout from her back, turning a muted gold/rose gold towards the tips.

She wears her red and gold cleric robes closed tightly around the neck, showing very little skin save for wearing the red velvet dress when she has somewhere important or fancy to be. In battle, she wears scale mail armor, with vestments overtop, and when she's not in battle, she typically wears only her vestments and robes with a hooded cloak embroidered with gold filigree overtop to hide her wings.

AURAL Has a Western Heartlands/Baldur's Gate accent, which some say is similar to RP/BBC English. When she speaks Celestial or laughs, there is a ringing to her voice, like hand bells or chimes. She speaks Common, Celestial, Goblin, Dwarvish, and is picking up on Elvish as she travels with her party.

OLFACTORY Those with celestial blood have a naturally pleasant scent; Evelyn's is vanilla mixed with sandalwood and musk with a hint of orange blossom and tuberose. ( Giorgio Armani My Way Eau De Parfum is the inspiration I took for how she smells. )

DEMEANOUR Proper, yet warm and friendly. She is a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve, desperate to care for those in need, even if brings her pain in the end. Steadfastly loyal to her friends and family. She is extremely protective and will do whatever she can to help someone. Faithful to her God and lives by the dogma of Helm.

background

BALDUR'S GATE ACOLYTE Insight proficiency, Religion proficiency It's said that every faith in the world has a believer in Baldur's Gate. Not only are most established faiths tole rated-even if some of them, including most of the openly evil faiths, are relegated to the Outer City's Twin Songs neighborhood- but new ones arrive constantly, carried by travelers and proselytizers from far-flung lands. A character with this background might aspire to greater things, not for themselves, but for their faith.

BALDUR'S GATE FEATURE: RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY You're tightly connected with the religious community of Baldur's Gate. You know if a deity has a following in the city and any places that faith openly congregates and the neighborhoods those faithful typically inhabit. While this isn't remarkable for most of the city's larger faiths, keeping track of the hundreds of religions newcomers bring with them is no mean feat.

characteristics

PERSONALITY TRAITS My friends know they can rely on me, no matter what. I'm always polite and respectful.

IDEALS Charity. I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost. (Good)
Aspiration. I seek to prove my self worthy of my god's favor by matching my actions against his or her teachings. (Any)

BONDS I protect those who cannot protect themselves.

FLAWS My piety sometimes leads me to blindly trust those that profess faith in my god and I put too much trust in those who wield power within my temple's hierarchy.

DARKVISION 60FT

DAMAGE RESISTANCE: NECROTIC, RADIANT

HEALING HANDS

As an action, you can touch a creature and cause it to regain a number of hit points equal to your level. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

IMPLEMENT OF PEACE

You gain proficiency in the Insight, Performance, or Persuasion skill (your choice).

LIGHT BEARER

You know the light cantrip. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it. Casting it is also verbal and somatic as it uses the inner light within Evelyn and doesn't need components ( a gift from the DM ).

RADIANT SOUL

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your action to unleash the divine energy within yourself, causing your eyes to glimmer and two luminous, incorporeal wings to sprout from your back.

Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, you have a flying speed of 30 feet, and once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra radiant damage equals your level.

Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

CHANNEL DIVINITY

Channel divine power using Turn Undead or one of your domain Channel Divinity options. (use once/rest).

CHANNEL DIVINITY: BALM OF PEACE

You can use your Channel Divinity to make your very presence a soothing balm. As an action, you can move up to your speed, without provoking opportunity attacks, and when you move within 5 feet of any other creature during this action, you can restore a number of hit points to that creature equal to 2d6 + your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1 hit point). A creature can receive this healing only once whenever you take this action.

BALDUR'S GATE FEATURE: RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY

You're tightly connected with the religious community of Baldur's Gate. You know if a deity has a following in the city and any places that faith openly congregates and the neighborhoods those faithful typically inhabit. While this isn't remarkable for most of the city's larger faiths, keeping track of the hundreds of religions newcomers bring with them is no mean feat.

EMBOLDENING BOND

You can forge an empowering bond among people who are at peace with one another. As an action, you choose a number of willing creatures within 30 feet of you (this can include yourself) equal to your proficiency bonus. You create a magical bond among them for 10 minutes or until you use this feature again. While any bonded creature is within 30 feet of another, the creature can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw it makes. Each creature can add the d4 no more than once per turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

CHANNEL DIVINITY: TURN UNDEAD

As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

TELEKENETIC

You learn to move things with your mind, granting you the following benefits:

• Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You learn the mage hand cantrip. You can cast it without verbal or somatic components, and you can make the spectral hand invisible. If you already know this spell, its range increases by 30 feet when you cast it. Its spellcasting ability is the ability increased by this feat.
• As a bonus action, you can try to telekinetically shove one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. When you do so, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + the ability modifier of the score increased by this feat) or be moved 5 feet toward you or away from you. A creature can willingly fail this save.

TELEKENETIC SHOVE

As a bonus action, you can try to telekinetically shove one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. When you do so, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + 2 (your proficiency bonus) + 5 (the ability modifier of the score increased by this feat ( wisdom ) ) or be moved 5 feet toward you or away from you. A creature can willingly fail this save.

DESTROY UNDEAD

Starting at 5th level, when an undead fails its saving throw against your Turn Undead feature, the creature is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the Destroy Undead table.

Cleric Level Destroys Undead of CR
5th 1/2 or lower
8th 1 or lower
11th 2 or lower
14th 3 or lower

CAMPAIGN SETTING

we are currently running the rime of the frostmaiden module with a bit of the dm's own flare tossed in with the forgotten realms and faerûn as our playing ground.

this takes place in the far north, beyond the spine of the world, in the ten-towns of icewind dale; these are icy lands of windswept tundra locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. auril the frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter's fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. each night, she takes to the sky on the back of a white roc and weaves her spell, which manifests as a simmering curtain of light — a beautiful aurora that illuminates the sky and fades before dawn. this power prevents the next day's sun from rising from above the horizon, turning midday into twilight and trapping icewind dale in winter's dark embrace, with no sunlight or warmth to melt the snow and ice.

there is extreme cold within this setting, with the average temperature in icewind dale -49°F ( -45°C ), and windchill lowers these temperatures as much as 80 degrees.

as long as the everlasting rime lasts, natural light is never brighter than a dim ( thankfully, evelyn has darkvision ). in normal (non-blizzard) conditions, twilight extends from 10 am to 2 pm; otherwise, icewind dale is otherwise dark until auril's auror or the full moon appears in the night sky.

EVELYN'S BACKGROUNDS/FLAWS

— HUNTED

people really are after you... possibly to turn into magic components.

— MARKED

something about your character's physique would cause problems if revealed. heavy winter clothes are luckily common... but once this is revealed, unforeseen problems may arise depending on what the mark means.

— TAINTED OLD FLAME

someone you were close to (and still weak for) is working against the party.

— netherese cloak of disguise self ( cursed item ) - cloak grants the wearer infernal qualities ( evelyn no longer looks like an aasimar, but a winged tiefling with red skin, black hair, horns, leathery wings, and golden eyes ). wearer is immune to cold and fights against urges brought on by fiendish or devilish intent ( she is currently fighting against urges associated with fierna descendants, lust and rage ). no longer bound to the restrictions of radiant soul, evelyn now has a flight speed and can use it at will, whereas before, she could only fly as long as radiant soul would allow her despite having tangible wings. evelyn cannot remove the cloak through normal means, but it can be broken with remove curse or broken with a magical weapon, but it will destroy the cloak. over time, as evelyn attunes to the cloak and becomes comfortable with it, she will be able to change her appearance between that of her normal self, fiendish self, or a hybrid of the two. the cloak is protective in mysterious ways that no one understands, occasionally safeguarding her against attacks that are a few points above her ac or rolls. the cloak has changed shape twice to that of a choker or a high-collared dress. ( i will likely rp her as normal without the cloak unless people want to deal with develyn. )

North of the Spine of the World and west of the towering Reghed Glacier is a frigid expanse few dare to explore, let alone inhabit. This icy land of windswept tundra recently became locked in a perpetual, dark winter without reprieve. Auril the Frostmaiden, the divine embodiment of winter's fury, has withdrawn to this cold corner of the world to live among mortals. Further, she has cast a terrible spell over Icewind Dale, to the detriment of most of its denizens.

Each night before midnight, Auril takes to the sky on the back of a white roc and weaves her spell, which manifests as a shimmering curtain of light—a beautiful aurora that illuminates the night sky and fades before dawn. This powerful magic prevents the next day's sun from rising above the horizon, turning midday into twilight and trapping Icewind Dale in winter's dark embrace, with no sunlight or warmth to melt the snow and ice. Each casting of the spell leaves the Frostmaiden weakened, with just enough divine power left to barricade the mountain pass with blizzards and churn the Sea of Moving Ice with blistering winds. Such measures discourage travelers from approaching or leaving Icewind Dale, further isolating the region. Icewind Dale has thus been trapped in a different reality from the rest of the world, for though the sun never rises over the dale, it continues to rise everywhere else.

The people of Icewind Dale know Auril's wrath when they feel it, and they have a name for the unending winter she has inflicted on them. They call it the Everlasting Rime. No one understands why the Frostmaiden has imposed her will in this way or why the other gods refuse to challenge her. This prolonged winter, which has gone on for more than two years, threatens to doom not just the flickering lights of civilization known as Ten-Towns but also the indigenous flora and fauna that need sunlight and the change of seasons to survive.

Not all creatures are discouraged by what has transpired north of the Spine of the World. The long nights and sunless days are a blessing to Xardorok Sunblight, a duergar who longs to carve out a domain for himself on the surface and enslave the people of Ten-Towns in the process. Already, he has taken advantage of Auril's magic and raised a fortress amid the dark shadows of the mountains. From here, his underlings strike out across the tundra in search of chardalyn—a crystalline substance known to exist only in Icewind Dale. Once he gathers enough of it, Xardorok plans to construct a chardalyn dragon and unleash it upon Ten-Towns.

Despite Auril's blizzards and other deterrents, visitors still come and go. Among the recent arrivals are four wizards of the Arcane Brotherhood, a powerful society of spellcasters based in Luskan. They've come chasing rumors of a lost city buried under the Reghed Glacier—a fragment of the long-gone Empire of Netheril, whose wizards wielded magic that terrified the gods. Netherese magic has a way of attracting power-hungry wizards, as members of the Arcane Brotherhood often are. The cities of Netheril floated among the clouds, making them almost impervious to assault for centuries. Then, nearly two thousand years ago, this floating city crashed during the fall of the empire, and no one has found or explored it since. It is, arguably, Icewind Dale's greatest secret—a necropolis of Netherese wizards and the magic they left behind. What survived the crash is anyone's guess, but we're about to find out!
