Third Race


Cirellus, Centaur -- a Roman general of long ago spurned the favors of a fey
enchantress because he had a big chariot race scheduled. Angered, she said that as he
loved horses so, his children should all reflect that. When his son was born, the baby
had the form of a centaur. Cirellus was raised as befit the son of a wealthy general,
but political upheavals and the death of his father left him a slave in the hands of the
emperor's nephew. Cirellus was put to work in the arena and soon became a
gladiatorial champion and local celebrity, so much so that the emperor's nephew grew
jealous and tried to have him killed. Cirellus escaped to Athens, where he met more
of his kind and became their leader. Proud and stern, honorable, he also expresses his
sensitive side through writing poetry and plays.

Oubliette, Wraith -- Chateau Ile de Montagne has been haunted for hundreds of years
by a ghostly woman-shape of dark mist. Occasionally, guests report seeing a beautiful
and mysterious woman on the grounds, but nobody can remember details. This is
Oubliette, whose powers include the ability to become insubstantial and cause
forgetfulness in the minds of mortals. She can appear as solid human when she
wishes, and has a fondness for luxuries, fine wines, good food, music, and the finer
things in life. She was very unhappy during the years following WWII when the
chateau stood abandoned; once it was restored into a fabulous hotel, she was quite
pleased right up until she was summoned back to Avalon.

Sess, Naga -- equally at home in any of her three forms of woman, large serpent, or
woman-headed snake. Her bite is deadly poison, she can spit both for distance and
accuracy, and licks the points of her arrows before letting them fly. She also exudes
at will a sticky venom from the palms of her hands that can transform someone else
into a snake, and she doesn't understand why people might object to this. In her
woman-form, her skin has the faintest of green tinges and fine scales. She has fangs,
snakelike eyes, and she is hairless. Although not cold-blooded, she enjoys basking on
warm rocks in the sun. She can unhinge her jaws to swallow eggs and small animals
whole, though she considers this a little barbaric and prefers to eat regular food.

Telberan, Pixie -- it's impossible to miss Telberan even though he's only twelve
inches tall. If his clothes (outlandishly colorful garb that calls to mind the reign of
Louis XIV) and fluttering rainbow wings don't get your attention, his garrulous
chatter will. Outgoing to a fault, he is also a trifle hot-headed, prone to swearing a
vow or challenging a duel at the drop of a hat. He is especially annoyed by insults
and perceived slights on his size, and things nothing of challenging giants to avenge
his dignity. He is a skilled fencer, and was one of Titania's favorite courtiers who
only escaped Sycorax's wrath through the application of plenty of flattery.

Audra, Elf -- a striking figure of sinister glamour, Audra specializes in curses and
spells that affect the body. She sees mortals as useful tools and subjects for
experiments, and during her years on Earth learned a good deal about them ... both in
terms of medicine and in terms of torture. She isn't quite a sadist, but the suffering of
others, especially mortals, means little to her. Tall and elegant, she carries herself
with a cool disdain and has left a trail of rejected suitors in her wake.
