Character Information
Name: Pandora;
Age: ??

Setting:

History: There once was a girl who was formed by the gods. They gave her many traits, giving her foremost beauty and cunning. She was created to be the downfall of man, gifted with a box. Temptation was too great for her and she removed the lid, spilling forth countless evils unto the earth. Disease, plagues, and other misfortunes leapt from the box. Luckily, so too did Hope escape into the world.

For years Pandora was blamed for the hardships humans now faced. She was mortified by her fate, heartbroken that people could only look at her with disdain and anger. She lived her life in shame, finding little solace in death.

If it were not for the Fallen One, she would have languished in torment, unable to escape the horrendous shrieks of those that blamed her for their suffering. He saw the gifts she had been given by the gods and recognized the benefits she could give him. He wasn't about to let that slip away. He promised her another chance on earth if she led others astray. Eternal youth and powers beyond her belief would be hers if she filled his realm with misguided souls.

Gladly, she took the deal.

Her powers were rooted in human belief and retellings of her tale. She draws strength from the stories people tell. Men used her name as a cautionary tale that women should never be too curious. Dangers and evils lurked in being inquisitive and sticking one's nose where it didn't belong. Little did they know they were creating a new evil: a demon intent on leading people astray to forever rot in suffering they had never dreamt about.

Pandora has spent many years tempting souls into darkness. She's perfected her art, using what the gods had once given her to work towards her benefit. She's learned to grow and shift with the times. She's lived through many changes, the affairs of humans amusing and boring her all at once.

At current, she's found herself a lovely penthouse apartment. She's still gathering souls and luring them into temptation. She hasn't grown weary of her task. There is a dark joy she reaps from condemning foolish mortals to eternities in the Fallen Realm.

Personality: One trait that hasn't diminished in all her years is her insatiable curiosity. Pandora has an endless hunger for knowledge. She enjoys learning new things and discovering interesting traits of people. There are times she has an almost sterile approach to exploring both people and places.

Time has made her jaded. The innocent girl thrust upon earth to unleash misfortune has long since disappeared for a woman judged harshly for so long. Pandora is much more skeptical of humans. She keeps them at arm's length, making sure no one gets close enough.

She was gifted with the skills to be deceitful and cunning. She was gifted by Hermes to have wisdom of words and a shameful mind. She would be beguiling and misleading. When she was created, Pandora was many of these things, touched also with an inquisitive nature. Over the millennia, she's still imbued with these traits, but a harsher level of understanding and a more disconnect from the world around her has developed.

Pandora has a hard time actually connecting to people. She still feels emotions, but has become used to hiding them under a mask. She takes her duty towards the Fallen One very seriously. It's the one thing she finds true pleasure in.

Sample:

[Pandora is wandering around the gardens, taking in the scenery. She's unaware the vines have taken in interest in her. She's quiet, walking about with purpose. She pauses to touch some of the foliage, murmuring softly at the textures. This is a place far removed from what she is used to.

It's not too long before she notices the mirror. Curiously, she leans towards it, tapping a neatly manicured finger against the surface. She smiles politely at it.]


What an interesting object.

[She makes a startled noise, realizing just what is going on. With a light laugh, she continues on.]

I guess they're recording me, then. Hello to everyone watching. You may call me Pandora. It's a pleasure to be allowed to join you here. This place is beautiful, to be certain.

It's been quite a while since I've been in such a location. It's a little jarring to wake up to such a change in scenery. [She casts a smile at the mirror.] As I am painfully new here, I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to show me around? I must admit I'm not the best at exploring on my own. It'd be charming to have someone who knew their way about. [That's a lie. She just wants to see what potential victims are willing to come her way.]
