Current Immortal Description: 01/01/12
Icy tendrils of unease cascade down your spine - a primitive and wholly instinctive, unthinking reaction to the being which has manifested before you. The air stirs around him as if uneasy at his mere presence. Upon the breeze is carried the still air of places of power best left undisturbed, where sorcerous rites taint the very bones of the earth. His demeanor is detached and inhuman, as uncaring for the struggles of the mortal realm as a storm for the landscape it ravages. Cold light glows in his ancient, knowing eyes, within them whispers of countless secrets and unholy knowledge. He looks deeply into your heart and soul with a single glance, judge and jury all in one. You are measured, balanced, and found wanting. When he speaks, his voice is as quiet and colorless as a graveyard at midnight, but is still touched with a slight elven accent despite the centuries. 'If you have found the grace of Lord Nash, your soul will be at peace. If not, everlasting torments will be yours.' Isolas is bathed in the essence of charisma. Isolas is in perfect health. Isolas is using: <used as light> (Red Aura) a fervent and devout faith in Lord Nash's glory <worn on finger> (Moderate magic) a diamond ring with a ruby phoenix inset <worn on finger> (Moderate magic) a gold band bearing the Seal of the Pontiff <worn around neck> (Potent magic) an emblazoned crimson stole edged in onyx and gold <worn around neck> (Moderate magic) an iron chain bearing the Phantom's seal <worn on body> (Moderate magic) a heavy cassock of oppressive black wool <worn on head> (Moderate magic) a deep, concealing cowl of austere black <worn on legs> (Potent magic) simple trousers of black linen <worn on feet> (Potent magic) a pair of low crimson leather boots <worn on hands> (Moderate magic) bloodstained gloves of thin black leather <worn on arms> (Powerful magic) enruned arm-bands of black mithril <worn as shield> (Powerful magic) an aura of rippling crimson energy <worn about body> (Moderate magic) an over-robe of ebon silk <worn about waist> (Potent magic) a wide sash of embroidered crimson silk <worn around wrist> (Potent magic) an enruned mithril bracer <worn around wrist> (Moderate magic) an enruned mithril bracer <wielded> (Powerful magic) a wicked, spiked crosier bearing the Nashite seal <held> (Red Aura) (Humming) The Nash Bible <worn with pride> an ancient spellbook bearing the Sigil of Nashite Sorcery <worn with pride> (Artifact magic) (Glowing) (Humming) the Medallion of Godhood
2005:
The elf that stands before you radiates an intense light. His aura flows around him, swirling in time with the pulsing energies of Magic itself. His eyes are grave, and they look deeply into your heart and soul, judge and jury all in one, staggering in their weight. He bears a tome under one arm, ancient and full of secrets known only to the Magi. Upon its surface, runes and sigla appear, shift and move, in a pattern easily recognized as matching His heartbeat. It is said that the core of magic is the innermost depths of the soul - gazing into His eyes once more, it seems clearly a truth He has embraced.
Mortal Description:
January 1, 2005
His hands rise, the magic within him encompassing their expanse, despite the length of his fingers. It flares outwards, a circle of dark depths unknown to those without the gift. He vanishes from sight before you can garner more than a respectable glance of him. That one glance burns itself into your mind. Light auburn hair gently caresses his broad shoulders, turning up at the slightest provocation or breeze. Green eyes that mimic the hearty tones of grass well-watered beneath a bright sun. His lanky form is now nowhere to be seen, but still the memory persists. The eyes possessed a depth that would indicate very intense emotion brewing beneath them, revealed more often by his expression than by his words. Sensitivity, as the magic took him, a shudder and shiver that danced across his frame before he vanished from sight. Decidedly elven, with the aristocratic proportions of his nose, his eyes, his cheekbones...yet the softening of full lips, as the smile of fulfillment with the joining of his magic took over as he disappeared from view. Not easily forgotten, nor easily befriended, this elf remains a mystery. Isolas is in perfect health. Isolas is using: <used as light> (Glowing) a black torch <worn on finger> (Moderate magic) a signet of a skull and crossbones <worn on finger> (Artifact magic) (Screaming) the sigil of the Hunter <worn around neck> (Artifact magic) a rakishly tied, patterned black bandana <worn around neck> (Moderate magic) the runed ruby amulet <worn on body> (Moderate magic) a black and white, striped Beetlejuice suit <worn on head> (Moderate magic) a leather cap <worn on legs> (Moderate magic) extraordinarily piratical-looking striped pants <worn on feet> (Moderate magic) mid-thigh, cuffed, black leather boots <worn on hands> (Moderate magic) a pair of quilted cloth work gloves <worn on arms> (Moderate magic) a pair of studded leather sleeves <worn about body> (Moderate magic) a worn and stained black velvet jack coat <worn about waist> (Moderate magic) a belt of woven dusk and twilight <worn around wrist> (Moderate magic) the glazed quartz bracelet <worn around wrist> (Moderate magic) the superb topaz bracelet <wielded> (Powerful magic) (Humming) a jeweled onyx dagger <wielded off-hand> a wicked-looking, bloodstained, ring-hilted poniard <worn with pride> (Weak magic) an ancient scar: an ornate letter 'P' <worn with pride> (Weak magic) an elfweave bandana
June 19, 2003:
Noticing your glance, he turns slightly to face you as his lips curve to form a polite and warming smile on his slender face. His eyes are as blue as the great sea itself, matching well with his tied back strawberry-blonde hair. His ears curve and point ever so slightly, as all elves' ears do. His armor fits him well, and is covered by a long, untainted white robe. Near his heart, two names have been sewn into his robe: that of his first love, Rosalind; and the God of all Elves, Myronides Starym. Over this robe is a forest green cloak, to help conceal him as he goes about in his adventures. All in all, you'd be hard pressed to find a kinder and more unique soul than this one. Isolas is in perfect health.

Character History:
(Written for entry in to the Chosen of Fate in 2003. Does not include history after that point.)
In the year 2569, on Zoardryn the 15th in the month of Apathy at precisely noon, in the great woods surrounding Loth Llorien, born into the realm was one of the most unique people in history. His name? Isolas Starleaf. Older brother to Kylanae Starleaf, Isolas and his brother spent much of their childhood in the tree-city, especially the guild of mages and wizards. The elven wizards were kind to the children, and would often practice their new illusions on the children, much to their delight. When they reached the appropriate age, the two brothers joined the mages' guild themselves, and chose to serve Lord Myronides, God of the Elves. There they learned the spells they had always enjoyed watching as a child. But, that was not enough for the boys. they took on the ranger class, and even later, that of the thieves. Life was good, and Isolas met a young beautiful elf named Rosalind. But as life went on, Kylanae was forced to return to their family homestead to tend to family matters. After that, life became overwhelming for Rosalind, and she ended her life. Isolas felt alone, but had many friends: most notably Natilena, Rone, Silonch, DarkClaw, Marisa, and Lord Tokugawa (I'm undoubtedly leaving out many - *profuse apologies!!*) Then, when he felt nothing could get worse, it did.
Lord Myronides announced that he was leaving the realm, no longer interested in living amongst people he did not know. The week that followed came and went slowly, and alas, he retired. Isolas was crushed. The atmosphere of Tel'Quessir could not be recreated. In an attempt to work off his anger and disappointment, he tried to adventure a bit. Well, he died a few times in the process, simply lowering his morale to unbelievable lows. Then, a glimmer of hope: a friend he had recently made in late night conversations, Wylin the Dwarf. Wylin confided that he would be seeking immortality to attempt to revive the dying community of Goods. On top of being good, Isolas knew Wylin was a fun soul. Isolas vowed he would worship Wylin when he reached an appropriate level. It was then Isolas was referred by many, including close friends Schwartz, Oook, and DarkClaw to the Chosen of Fate. He explored their vast sanctuary and fell in love with the people and atmosphere, but also understood that his promise to Lord Wylin would eventually lead them to parting paths.

| Cordir 11/22/2011 |
I have been roleplaying with Isolas in various guises for going on seven years now - and have enjoyed all of them. He has woven scenes and moments from the exquisitely poignant to the most agonizingly bitter - to that immersive moment where awareness of self and interface slips away and one is simply the character. As Cordir, I have nothing but deep pride in his accomplishments as a Demigod; his long term committment to TFC is commendable. As his long-ago FLI, I can say with certainty that no immortal could ask for a follower more loyal and dedicated. My TFC experience has been much enriched by Isolas, and I am grateful to him for it. Updated 2/2/13 to add: With Isolas' retirement, TFC has changed forever for me. I will miss our interaction deeply, even though for the last year, it has been one of RP'd distance and discord. His presence shaped and illuminated my RP for the last 7+ years, and the loss will be felt just as long. |

All members of the Magi are required to have a spellcasting class upon presenting themselves for entry into the Tower of Magic. There is none so old they cannot learn, and none so young they cannot teach: All are students here, each enriching the lives and experiences of one another. We dedicate ourselves to the search for knowledge and secrets in all forms throughout the realm. Those who wish to join the Magi can expect a close-knit group who work with one another for the betterment of all. Player-killing is not the focus within the Tower, but is a reality of the Realm that will be dealt with decisively. Interested parties should seek out one of the Magi-Adept, or Isolas himself, to learn more of this followings guidelines for behavior, and requirements for entry.
