New character! Yay!
Name: Desiree Benoit
Race: Breton
Class: Mage/Spy and Professional Backstabber
Gender: Female
Appearance: She has very dark, black hair that is just slightly past chin-length. Her eye color is an icy blue. She is very curvaceous, a fact which is immediately noticeable because she wears only a cowl, a cloak, and what can barely be described as a fur bikini. She is very appealing to look at; indeed, she tends to be considered very desirable and oddly enough, trustworthy. Because she looks intelligent, one can't help but think she is probably very knowledgeable about many things and seeks to educate everyone else. How could such a person be untrustworthy?
Equipment: Cloak, cowl, outfit, dagger
Personality: In a few words, she is a cold-hearted, calculating, manipulative, self-serving bitch. She lies easily but prefers not to finding that people are much more inclined to believe half-truths... and that lying by omission can easily fill in a lot of the blanks she wants people to fill in. Needless to say, she is very intelligent and observant... but this fact can occasionally be her undoing because she also possesses a significant amount of arrogance. Her main mission in life is to live richly and luxuriously.
Likes: politics, magic, dark magic, books/studying, money, fancy clothes, expensive items, rich food, sex, manipulating others, mercilessly crushing her enemies either emotionally or physically
Dislikes: being wrong, suffering fools, being made a fool of, being dismissed, being enslaved, being cursed
Skills: Illusion, Sneak, Lockpicking, Speech, One-handed (dagger), Alteration, Destruction (specializing in frost damage), Conjuration (undead only), some Alchemy (only a few poisons)
Combat Prefs: Her combat style varies depending on the situation. She prefers being adaptable. Generally, though, she prefers to use an opponent's psychological weaknesses to her advantage while in battle and coming up with strategies (probably kind of akin to Robert Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes)
Background: There's really no telling what kind of background this Breton has had. She has probably been just about everywhere at some point and done just about everything. Something noteworthy is that she has once summoned Clavicus Vile, intent on getting a wish with none of the downsides. In the months prior to summoning, she wrote down in her wish in a very legalistic-style, trying to close-up of every possible loophole. In other words, she thought she could trick someone who is practically a god, and a god who specializes in bargains and wishes, no less. She had essentially wished to be seen as inherently trustworthy and desirable. She got her wish... but Clavicus Vile managed to gain the upperhand. He cursed her with an extraordinarily high libido... one in which she would do just about anything to satisfy herself, including tell the truth, be direct, allow herself to be someone's pawn if they just give her what she craves. Needless to say, she no longer makes deals with Daedric Princes.
Particular to the Arena RP: Having gotten caught in some particularly nasty bit of spy business (thanks to her curse) and imprisoned for a number of charges (including fraud, murder, conspiracy, etc.), she was facing what could've possibly been a death sentence. Fortunately, having contacts on the outside is useful. There was a mishap in the prison where a prisoner sentenced to slavery as an arena combatant ended up getting her sentence, and she ended up getting that prisoner's sentence. Of course, given her appearance and sexual appetite, there's a high chance she'll probably end up serving as more than just an arena combatant.
