Aeterna Staroux was born into a cultist group that studied the dark arts. They stayed hidden the best to their abilities from the otherwise celestial kingdom. The fear of being found out was too much. They were a cowardice group from this. Aeterna excelled in her studies, quickly advancing in her classes against her siblings and the other adolescents. She loved learning the offensive magic. She never left home, fearing that she herself might somehow expose the group. She never met people outside of the kingdom they taken up residence in. | Aeterna Staroux was born into a cultist group that studied the dark arts.

Aeterna was never meant to be cold hearted, but from her past events, she slowly grew ill tempered with people. They were either targets or giving her money; she didn't think much aside from that. Despite her natural cold personality, she's flirtatious and extremely clingy to the people she cares for. She's not a brave person; she'd rather make herself look terrifying and scare people off instead of actually fight. If someone came after a loved one, however, she would have difficulty trying not to interfere. She's stubborn as well, convinced what she says should go most of the time. She'll admit to being wrong as a last resort if anything, making her an easy target to argue with, and quick to dislike. She'll back down fast if it's a loved one, though, terrified of losing someone over an argument. | Aeterna was never meant to be cold hearted, but from her past events, she slowly grew ill tempered with people.

Due to her past, it's extremely hard to earn her trust. She's quick to judge, and quick to fake an attack and leave before someone could harm her. Few people have had a chance to speak to her outside of business, and most conversations ended poorly due to her guarded nature. She doesn't believe in needing friends, always putting herself ahead of others. | Due to her past, it's extremely hard to earn her trust.

Aeterna has a natural honing to sorcery. She uses lightning arcs as a signature power, being more of an elementalist dark arts user than anything else.

The circle has arcana symbols engraved into it that regenerates her health and energy. She relies strongly on this when stuck in tough situations. This makes her incredibly hard to kill in a normal situation, unless the opponent manages to lure her outside of the circle. In such a case, they'd have an advantage over her, being able to use brute force to knock her around. | The circle has arcana symbols engraved into it that regenerates her health and energy.

"The drow frowned. She watched as the guards advanced on her younger brother. Their swords were raised. Blood lust gleamed in their eyes. They had been found out. Exposed. She couldn't let it happen. She raised her hand, closing her eyes as power rose into her body. She felt unbelievable strength. She felt invincible. She let the power continue to expel from her body. Screams. Pain. Death. And it was her fault.
Her eyes opened. The power took its toll. As she collapsed, she looked around. Red. Lifeless bodies. Her family huddled into a corner, terrified. Of her. And guards rushing towards her. Crying in the distance. She didn't dare look. Her eyes closed, and she let them take her."
Aeterna Staroux was born into a cultist group that studied the dark arts. They stayed hidden the best to their abilities from the otherwise celestial kingdom. The fear of being found out was too much. They were a cowardice group from this. Aeterna excelled in her studies, quickly advancing in her classes against her siblings and the other adolescents. She loved learning the offensive magic. She never left home, fearing that she herself might somehow expose the group. She never met people outside of the kingdom they taken up residence in.
She herself came from a large family. She was related to a vast majority of the cult; cousins, brothers, aunts, uncles, sisters. She was close to multiple of her family members, treating them with extreme care. The cult was close knit; there was hardly any arguments throughout it, due to the mutual love of the dark and constantly exploring it. She became exceptionally close to her younger brother. She had been youngest for quite some time, and she quickly took the job of having someone to watch over very seriously. She was much like a bodyguard to him, defending him from the usual sibling quarrels.
The day of her betrayal was something that haunts her mind. At the age of thirteen, her younger brother had accidentally exposed the group. The kingdom immediately fought against them. Their numbers were no match, and they quickly diminished in size. Aeterna and her family were some of the last survivors. They ran from the battle, hoping to escape and travel. He tripped. She turned and watched her brother stumble and fall over. She went to help him. The guards were faster. He was nearly surrounded, weaponry raised.
Power. That's all Aeterna remembers from that day. Unbelievable, wonderful, power. And death. The bloodied streets and lifeless bodies often echos in her mind. She was banished from her kingdom. Death sentence was debated, but decided against as they feared she would excel such power again. She was left to die by her own people. A hatred stirred in her heart as she struggled to survive.
Aeterna eventually took up petty jobs for money. She'd go after criminals primarily for the local law enforcement, getting a decent sum of money. However, due to her excess traveling, she never had enough to support herself properly. She became known in some criminal circles as Nox Aeterna- Latin for eternal darkness due to her magic capabilities. She followed this career for nearly two hundred years, but never expanded her occupation enough to become known for it, save for the petty gangs that learned of her existence when she was sent after multiple targets.
She was called to America for one of her customers. She tracked down her target, and successfully killed them. However, she had never been to America, and quickly became lost. She eventually stumbled across a city called Millennium City and was recruited by law enforcers to help clear out some of the gang problems. She quickly advanced and was sent to other various places. However, she was still being paid very little, and had to often loot the bodies of her victims for things to sell. Her magic and traveling took a large toll on her body, and she became malnourished without proper care.

Few people have had a chance to speak to her outside of business, and most conversations ended poorly due to her guarded nature. She doesn't believe in needing friends, always putting herself ahead of others.
Aeterna has a natural honing to sorcery. She uses lightning arcs as a signature power, being more of an elementalist dark arts user than anything else. She also uses wind to her will when needed to take out multiple enemies. Aside from her magic, she doesn't have any other powers; she's as vulnerable as anyone else, just powerful.
Lightning - Aeterna has aquired a powerful usage of lightning. She summons this from her palm, or occasionally uses it as a ward on her hands; almost as if she was trying to make herself look threatening; something animals often do in the wild. This lightning has the ability to stun foes, as well as singe their hair. This consumes her energy quickly, and she can't prolong the uses, so she has a few defense mechanisms set up.
Wind - Aeterna has the ability to summon storms equivalent to that of a hurricane. This is one of her strongest spells, and it devastates most around her. She's skilled at controlling it, taking the storm with her at her own will. It knocks backs opponents with the wind forces, rendering their attacks useless most of the time.
However, this has a massive downside to her energy. This is used in scenarios with multiple targets mainly because of the toll it takes on her. She's gotten better at managing her energy with it, but still has the occasional issue of draining herself with it. She doesn't use this unless it's absolutely needed due to the toll it takes on her body.
Defense Mechanism - Aeterna's defense mechanism is a simple circle. This, however, packs a punch; it regenerates her energy for her, as well as adds resistance to attacks she'd never be able to take on all by herself. The circle itself is used by her whenever attacking a stronger opponent, since she normally needs to be mobile in combat. It's a vital important to surviving against things that would, in any other circumstance, destroy the elf.
The circle has arcana symbols engraved into it that regenerates her health and energy. She relies strongly on this when stuck in tough situations. This makes her incredibly hard to kill in a normal situation, unless the opponent manages to lure her outside of the circle. In such a case, they'd have an advantage over her, being able to use brute force to knock her around.
