Ilaaris Kalno

"It sounds like your plan is to do sexual things to me when you say it like that, but since I'm not in the mood for it right now... I think not."

- Ilaaris' twisted mind.  is a Herald of Malithq and a powerful martial artist.

Personality
Ilaaris is a cerebral Narcissist, as a result she has great difficulty maintaining relationships and fails to recognize he feelings of others. Ilaaris’ intelligence and logical reasoning skills are a force to be reckoned with. Be it a minor debate or a life-changing decision, Ilaaris finds it easy to entertain multiple ideas and keep a cool head. This allows her to overcome many challenging obstacles – yet she can be easily tripped up in areas where careful and rational thinking is more of a liability than an asset. As an Introvert she enjoys the occasional solitude, but preferring to think she feels the need for intellectual stimulation.

Appearance
Like all Nemer, Ilaaris looks exceptionally young, her hair is split in white and brown, and her eyes are red, she has a voluptuous body and stands roughly 150 cm tall, making her an average Nemer in terms of height, her skin can sometimes appear cracked under her right eye but she manages to hide it pretty well with Makeup. These "cracks" and the mysterious hair colour are both result of her curse

History
Ilaaris is a Nemer and Herald of Malithq, born in one of the larger cities of the great continent of Natirth, Her reason for joining Malithq, like most others happened when she was escaping from raging barbarians as a mere teenager, almost being caught she was put in the ground and almost killed, that is when her power awakened the very first time. As she turned ot her dark form she single handedly tore apart the bandits fueled by her rage oblivious of her being watched by the god in that moment, after dealing with the bandits, Malithq descended and nursed her back to health, after which she pledged undying loyalty to the Daedric Prince of Transcendence. Malithq told her of her power and to never use it though the damage had already been done, she would never become a normal Nemer girl. However she refused the “gift” of Vampirism. However Malithq would hold his offer open to her, should she ever reconsider.

She was later sent to Skyrim to assist Raqorith, who was sent ahead of her, in restoring the shrines to Malithq. But unlike him, she carries a map and the schematics for building a new shrine if the remains prove too difficult to find. However she is not a Vampire and despises most people who are not Nemer, most of the time outright ignoring them. Most of all she loathes those who do not worship Malithq or those who pledge themselves to a different lord, she has some forgiveness for those unknowing but has little patience for those refusing to understand.

Powers and Abilities
Having taken up martial arts when she was a young teen she has trained for over 20 years and mastered many marital arts, most originating from Natirth, but she has knowledge of arts coming from Tamriel, Akavir and even Yokuda as many of them made their way to Natirth in the earlier days of Nirn. Ilaaris takes pride in her abilities and expends a lot of time on increasing her abilities, Morndas,Middas and Fredas are mostly for the physical part of Martial arts, while Tirdas, Turdas and Loredas are dedicated to the more spiritual half. Sundas are strictly for rest.

When going through trauma or abuse, whether physical or mental, she may undergo a sort of transformation into a vile, powerful and sinister form, losing her mind completely. She becomes enshrouded by a black mist like aura and the white in her eyes take on the same red colour as her irises, penetrating the aura. Extreme rage or Stress is however the most frequent trigger for this form to be unleashed. In this state her powers are greatly enhanced, possessing all her normal powers but with greater terms of power and malice. This includes her spells as well as physical capabilities.

Once she enters her dark form she slowly loses her sanity. Her body and soul are slowly corrupted and especially her mind is particularly affected as in this form not only does she refuse to talk but loses the ability altogether, it puts a great strain on her body. This form clouds her judgement and turns her berserk destroying friend and foe without remorse. Eventually she will however revert and immediately faint upon reversion, either caused by calming down or otherwise. The after-effects of using this power may be permanent and could kill her unless stopped in time or calmed to the point of reversion.
