Name: The Shattered Heart
Original House Name:: Armameel
Alias: A'meel. The Veil. The Shattered Heart. The Frozen Heart
House:
Position: Second in command of the Orshaun.
Age: Unknown
Apparent Age: Late twenties, early thirties
Description
The Lady Orshaun bears a slender, willowy frame, tall and elegant and strikingly beautiful. Swathed in gauzy silk, Her garment is a robe like affair that both clings and flows. The only time it makes sound when she moves is when she wishes it to. Her arms are always clad in velvet gloves that match the color of her robe. They vanish up into the draping sleeves. Except when She removes them for play or graces her current object of affections with a glancing touch.
Depending on her mood, her hair is covered or not, the long, luscious tresses always perfect. But a veil always graces the Lady from the nose down, so only her eyes are shown to the world. Her skin is clear and smooth so one must pay close attention to find what expression she might bear around her eyes. When their Artist, the Holocaust was still in attendance, the Shattered Heart would visit him to have the color of her eyes and hair changed on a whim. Currently, her eyes are a striking violet, almost too vivid to be real.
Personality
She is the political body of the mated pair, creating and maintaining the alliances desired. the Shattered Heart can be sweet and gentle as she wishes, or as cold as a marble statue when needed. Often, her preferred method of breaking in new slaves, toys and playthings is by twisting their perceptions of reality. She can make them enjoy what she does to them, or heighten the pleasure and pain until one cannot be told from the other and both are longed for. As she is very old, her abilities are extremely well developed.
Cool headed to her Heroslayer's more volatile temperament, it is difficult to get 'Heart to lose her temper. Most recently, it took the defection of the Broken Doll to crack the Shattered Heart's control over her own emotions.
History
The Lady Orshaun, is second only to the The Heroslayer, the first of the Lingspelien to be Corrupted. She is the only one who was Corrupted willingly.
'Heart has been with her Love, the Heroslayer since before the Sundering. She was Corrupted by the Heroslayer by her own choice, unwilling to be parted from the one she had bound herself to. Since then, the Shattered Heart has become a sort of twisted matriarch of the Orshaun.
Current Events
Seeking sleep after playing with/rehabilitating Ra'tappi, the long lost Rebel, she was taken into the Nightmare by the Dark. Or was this a Nightmare? He spoke of being sent to her by her Beloved Heroslayer, but the tables slowly turned, as if this was a mere distraction to keep her from realizing what was happening. As the Dark is the Master of the Dream, she could do little to awaken to escape it.
In this Nightmare, she was made to review certain events with her son, such as his first flight, reminding her of things she wished well left alone. Yet it did not stop there. Next came a vision of Mozafirium sitting at her bedside, urging her to come out of the darkness, to awaken and thaw her frozen heart. She believed this to be another torment of the Dark, as she let slip her desire for her pet, Ra'tappi to inform the Hero of her wish to be Cleansed in an attempt to lure him out. But did she actually desire to be cleaned of the Corruption? To become whole again? Mayhap so.
Then the wooden prison opened a wall to show Mozafirium at what appeared to be her own bedside where a vision of the Lady lay prone, feverish, unwilling to awaken. Believing it to be another trick, she raged at Stills the Night, insisting it was a lie. it was Mozafirium who answered, begging his beloved mother to come back to him.
After several angry outbursts, the Lady dug deep into memories long wished forgotten for a song. A simple melody that only her child should know. The vision of Mozafirium knew, continuing the melody. During the chanting, an unprecedented thing occured. The Lady's wings, long rent from her body, burst forth from her back. And there was no pain to accompany it. Only a certain sense of relief. Fragile, uncertain, she was torn between believing the Dark was tormenting her and this might actually be her son calling out to her.
Finally, she took the steps required to initiate Awakening, reaching out to touch her long estranged child, who was hovering over her bed, begging her to come back to him and as she did, removing her veil as she went, the Lady Awoke.
But now what is to become of the Lady of the Orshaun? Is she Cleansed or just taking the first stumbling baby-steps? And what would the Heroslayer do when he finds his mate missing from the Orshaun base entirely?
Known Abilities:
Strong telepath and mental artist. The touch of her mind upon another is like shards of broken glass being driven into the brain. She can force people to do as she wishes and even make them believe the idea was their own. Once a compulsion is set, it would take a telepath more skilled and stronger than she to dislodge it. Or the hand of the Lingspelien Healer, Mozafirium. She's had longer than eons to hone her skills and expand her horizons to their utmost. And there is always more she can learn.
She, like Mozafirium, is a Healer, able to put right any wrong in a person's body or mind. However, since her Corruption, one would rather die than be Healed by Her for the agony it brings is unbearable. If one wishes more information of this, feel free to ask The Captain
As with others of her kind, the Shattered Heart possesses the racial ability of seeing the very threads of reality. These are the patterns that make up each individual, from their heartbeat to their flesh. Included in her vision are auras of emotional states. The nature of her vision makes it very difficult to cast an illusion that she will believe. She can also see if a creature is a shape-shifter or not.
As with all of her species, both Corrupted and as yet unCorrupted, her blood is addictive. This is something 'Heart often uses as an agent to bind others to her. Or make some of her playthings need her favor more than food or water. A few drops is enough to create the desire for more, a mouthful adequate to addict. Those who become addicted and are denied suffer the withdraws on par with a heroin junkie. Except a heroin junkie only has about three days to a week for the withdrawal to pass. Withdrawal from imbibing the blood of a Lingspelien or Orshaun does not end.
Family:
There are rumors that she is the mother of Mozafirium.
