Biography
Everything that has been born
Named in tribute to destructed land mirrors have come from, "ruin", she believes her duty is to bring new life by destroying life. Killing is her token of love of life.
will surely die one day And without death nothing can be born anew I am plague sent to bring new life ╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮
- Personality -
She is calm, gentle, quite shy and delicate. However she shows this only among friendly dragons. When she feels treatened, she will fight for herself. She is fearful, but on the other hand her greatest asset is that she doesn't let it control her when running away isn't option. Otherwise fear helps her keep away from danger and surive. Despite that she is persistent in pursuing her goals, she isn't patient and quickly becomes bored if she has to idly wait or do something monotonous.The Plagueling treats every living being with respect. Firstly, becuasue they have feelings, desires and values like she, so she understands they want to live too. Secondly, she needs them to survive. And last but not least, stronger enemy makes you stronger. Then she will gladly help anyone in need. She kills creatures as well, but only if this is Plaguebringer will, not her own. Moreover, in her opinion killing dragons, beasts, animals and plants is exactly the same thing, so she wouldn't pick a flower without a reason. Female mirror doesn't accept survival of the fittest. She finds teamwork one of strenghts of the pack and claims that stronger dragons should protect physically weak but great in other aspects clanmates. No matter how much she adores nature, Руина is always drawn to contagion. Plague surrounds her , embraces her, welcomes her and whispers "I will give you life, I will give you place to live. I will kill you, so be strong. I will kill you, because I want you to survive." She couldn't feel more happy and needed. She doesn't believe in good and evil, she only believes that everything leads somewhere, so you ought to watch your steps.
- Abilities -
She is rather weak in physical aspect, although swift. The young mirror also quickly becomes tired during heavy exercise, but she has great endurance (so she can walk for long time if she moves at her own speed). On the other hand, Руина has strong force of will (what she has proved by passing the second Trial) and great reservoir of magical power that is hard to drain, even if the Necromancer uses it recklessly.
- Appearance-
Her body is covered in scars and fungi.She has scars especially on her head and hands. Руина treasures scars and didn't want them to heal completely, to be gone like nothing ever happened. They remind her of beasts she has dafeated. She glances at them whenever she feels fear. Second collection is made of various species of parasitic fungi. She lets them live on her to drain their life force whenever she'll run out of energy. They also provide good conversation companions and camouflage. She looks like fungus-covered log, especially that she often lies motionlessly, just moving her eyes and watching other dragons. Fungi wither when mirror travels outside the Scarred Wasteland, so she needs to start collecting them again. Besides her symbol, she also wears birdskulls and feathers in honor of her necromantic mentor.
- Biography -
Born in the Scarred Wasteland to the long lineage of Necromancers, she has always been surrouned by Blessed dragons and admired their skills of manipulating contagion. Although she was afraid of becoming a Ghoul, she wanted to face the trials, determined to show what she's capable of. And she dreamed of proving to herself she's stronger than she thinks. It is good to know your limits, but not to always run away, claiming you can't survive this."Even if I'm unable to fight off the infection, I won't stop fighting. Maybe my body is not strong enough, but my will won't be weak." She was still young, but she felt full of energy and enthusiasm. Ske knew it is good time for her to give a try. So she packed her bags and set off to face trials. Few days later mirror reached the edge of the Wyrmwound. "Mother, I feel strong and I feel week. I think contagion is my companion I can tame and I think it will kill me. I can't wait, I want to know. I want a proof. May your plague answer my question" she thought. Young female was standing motionlessly with tense muscles and shining dark red eyes. At first, nothing happened, but she was waiting, telling herself to breath. She was waiting for many days and finally she felt strange presence filling her flesh, her veins and her heart. She passed the first Trial, but now there was no turning back. And she didn't regret it. She fought she is strong, but she couldn't be sure without showing it. Now was her time. She didn't move for many next days, lying with half-closed eyes, telling herself that she can't die as long as she'll breath. Half alive as if she was hibernating. Contagion was running through her veins, encouraged when it felt that Руина's body is quite week. Finally plague touched her heart, but it just didn't want to stop beating. Simple will to fight was keeping her alive, although she should has been consumed already. Plague reconsidered and felt respect. And then she fought back. Руина smothered contagion, forcing it to retreat. They say plague never moves backwards. Maybe it is true about Plaguelings, but not about plague in Plagueling. Mother's Blessing eventually fell back, only crimson stripes on her wings, back and under eyes showed contagion is still there, waiting for her order. She took a deep breath, while slowly opening her eyes. Suprised, she couldn't believe it really has happened, it wasn't only her conviction. Mirror stood up. She wasn't done yet. She looked around, searching for some beast or animal to infect. However, she has only spotted fae female flying over Руина in the direction of the Wyrmwound. Without wondering what little dragon is doing here (she was arcanite, so she was probably just curious of misterious cauldron), not thinking twice Plagueling spreaded her wings and jumped into the air. After grasping fae gently with her hands, she landed softly. Contagion eagerly flowed trough her body, before passing on arcanite. Руина let it stay there for a while and then drew it back. She let fae go and watched it fly away. "Plaguemother, are you watching?" she fought herself. Proud, more confident and just happy, although very tired, she turned around and look toward her home.
On her way towards Seedscar, she've tamed graveyard guardian. She called him Трясин, which means "quagmire". When she was wandering along Foxfire Bramble, Necromancer became interested in parasitic fungi, which lived on trees. She fought if she can keep plague in her body to use it as bioweapon, why can't she carry part of ecosystem to always have its life force near. All her life was about being part of circle of life, eating and feeding, killing and giving life. She could as well do it in more direct way. She believed in symbiosis, even if this fungi are parasites, she can teach them new way of life. They can make trees sick, but she was sick already. So she covered herself in spores, cultivated them with plague and took them to dark lands. Distorted fungi accepted this new moving tree. Over the years she found many diffrent species of fungi. They tried to take her vitality, some of them even tried mind control, but she had got used to far worse things trying to kill her, not mere fungi. Next day she caught herself talking to the spores. Трясин was running two mirror lengths ahead, watching for danger and hunting every animal that got close enough. He wasn't completely interested in hearing her out. Spores didn't know body language, instead they could comunicate by sending vibes to her mind. They couldn't use words, just emotions, feelings and longings. She always has to keep her thoughts apart from theirs and don't give in to this. Great-grandmother of Руина agreed to take an apprentice, even if she hadn't welcomed young Necromancer warmly. As much as Raiteme wanted to help her protege, she have never shown kindness. Earlier, newly appointed Necromancer came to the place she had heard about. From the distance she had spotted giant imperial skeleton, even though red tribal markings and hanging drying herbs made it slightly blend with the surrounding. There were no alive dragons around, other than two guards. Their ice blue scales and fur stood out, as if guards wanted to be noticed and avoided. Руина wasn't suprised with emptiness of the lair. Aqiaosc claimed that Olruks Clan lives in the network of underground caves. Dragons bowed to her, when she moved closer. She felt confused and embarrassed. "Are you a Necromancer?" male gaoler asked politely, as male Aurora Borealis imperial watched stranger curiously. "What do you need?" "I'm looking for Raiteme. She is my ancestor" she stated, trying to sound firmly. "She's in the lair. I'll lead the way" imperial willingly offered. "T-thank you." Mirror let Aurora Borealis dragon show her way through tunnels, lit by line of torches. In their flickering glow, female could see wall paintings depicting events from the old days. As she moved deeper, painting became more recent. She noticed lavender-colored mirror silhouette with black mask among them, probably it was matriarch she has heard about. "Are you going to stay with us?" imperial asked. "No... I mean - not forever" she uttered, carefully stepping on the slippery rocks. She was caught off guard due to the friendliness in his voice. After all, she was just stranger to him, possibly enemy. Tunnel ahead of them widened into long cavern. Mirror said thank you again and entered the cavern. There were no more torches, lair was filled with dim light of candles. "Raiteme?! Are you there?!" she called anxiously, trying to see someone in the dark room. "Can I come in?! I need to ask you about something!" Her voice echoed eerily. "Come" female heard hoarse voice from the further part of cavern. She left Трясин guarding at the entrance. As she walked through the lair, painted silhouettes of Mother's Blessed and empty eyes of birskulls were looking at newcomer from the walls. Candles were placed in such a way, that they lighted decorations and let shadows cover the ground, so Руина was moving even slowier than before. Tapping of her talons was the only sound in the room. Suddenly, flutter of wings startled young female. She noticed a four-legged bird, flying in the direction voice had come from. She went after it. At the end of the cavern bones and candles were hanging from roots piercing the ceiling. Their were lighting altar made of flat rock. Something was placed in center of it, but all Руина could see was dark silhouette of mirror wearing some feathers. Bird familiar landed on the edge of the altar, in glow it turned out to be yellow-throated sparrowmouse. Necromancer seemed busy, so young female waited silently, trying to breath calmly as stillness of dark cavern and mysterious shaman made her feel uneasy. After a long while, or so Руина believed, another mirror turned around slowly, her red eyes reflected light. Bird familiar flew out of cavern, carring some carcass in its hind legs. "Plaguebringer told me, you will come" older Necromancer said hoarse, glaring at stranger like she could look right through her. "I should've known" thought young female. "Do you know who I am?" she asked timidly. "My kin." "My name is Руина and I am granddaughter of Aqiaosc" she said, remembering to tell her name loud and clear. "I remember him" shaman closed her eyes for a moment. Then she straightened up and raised her voice. "I am Raiteme, shaman of Olruks Clan. How can I help you?" She didn't sound as nice as guard from earlier, but she also didn't seem hostile. "I heard about your skills of manipulating contagion. Dragons I live with are young Necromancers like me. I thought I will learn more from you" fungi mirror explained hesitantly. At first Raiteme didn't answered and Руина couldn't stand her stare. She forced her legs not to shake. "What do you want to do as Necromancer? What is your symbol?" shaman spoke at last, but still didn't provide an answer. "Symbol?" at first young Necromancer was drawing a blank, until it finally dawned on her. Oh, that things. I don't have a symbol yet. I just want to do what I can to serve Plaguelings." "I can teach you something about necrosis in general" Raiteme declared eventually. "However, what I will get in exchange?" Руина wasn't sure if shaman really wants something or is just curious how young Necromancer will answer. "I have treasure..." she started uncertainly. "And I don't want it" great-grandmother instantly cut short her attempt. "I can hunt and I can fight for Olruks Clan, unless it means standing against my family" fungi mirror tried again. "This is how you will pay for meal and shelter. What I will get for my knowledge? If I coach a shaman, he or she will help me with my work. What is point in traing you, if you are not going to stay?" "I didn't say I'm not going to stay..." Руина pointed out. She couldn't say it, because she wasn't actually sure what she's going to do later. "But still you will be no use to me" Raiteme didn't explained her assumption. Fungi mirror stood straight. "If you help me, you will contribute to Necromancers, Plaguelings and in the end to Plaguebringer. I will consider this my duty to don't dissapoint you and serve well in your name" she said with an unfailing voice. She didn't look down, when shaman was glaring at her, probably wondering if she really meant it. "I have already made a decision yesterday. I will teach you. Now, come with me, we must explain it to the Matriarch that you will stay with us for a while." "First, you have to choose yourself a symbol" Raiteme said, leading young Necromancer to the storage grotto. "Blade, armor, bones, cloak, jewelry, mask, sigil..." Raiteme listed, while pointing various items placed in stone niches. "These are the most common choises, but you can pick out anything that picks your attention. Preferably it should show your nobility as Blessed by Mother, but it can't suggest you want to rule." Fungi mirror looked over the apparel, then tried on bird skull adornment, similiar to the one the shaman was wearing. She found it beautliful, however, she was fan of life and dead things alike, so she didn't wish to distinguish one of them. She gazed upon inanimate object. It was katana with red sageo. Mirror had no idea how to use it in fight, but she felt sword fits well her will to kill for Mother. Руина tapped the katana with her sharp talon. "So it is sword" the shaman said thoughtfully. "You want to fulfill your necromancer role as Mother's blade, creating place for Plaguelings." She turned her head to look her mentor in the eyes. "Yes. Because without death, there can't be life."
Besides, she should join Council especially because she was afraid of crowds - facing her fear will be another way to get stronger. So she has realized that her pursuit of serving Plaguebringer as best as she can is leading her towards Bone Tower. "But why are you advising me to join Council, but you didn't join yourself?" she asked Raiteme, although she has already made a decision. "This is a place for young and amibitious Necromancers, who want to prove theirselves and change the world. I don't have time for this. I like my peaceful life of auguries." ... 'May your death be even greater than your life.'
