Sepia Galleus
Archon Sepia Galleus is one of the proud few Dreadlord Archons to have declared their allegiance to the Anirian Revolutionaries--an act which shocked those who knew the witch prior to the revolution. Mother to the late Charon Galleus and primarily responsible for her son's wretched outcomes, Sepia has had a long history of pushing Anirian extremes, testing the boundaries of morality, and pushing for greater strength among the Dreadlords...at any cost.
Appearance
Equal parts terrifying and beautiful, Sepia toes the line of humanity's limits. Her skin is incredibly pale, her teeth sharp like rows of daggers, her eyes an unnaturally vibrant yellow-green, and much of her hair transmuted into thick tentacles. Her body is in remarkably good shape for a mother of her age, and she loves to proudly display her most bounteous assets. Her wardrobe is no less eccentric, extravagant, and bizarre, largely consisting of gowns she has woven herself, designed to compliment and accentuate both her form and her strange, magically altered genetic makeup. She also adores jewelry.
Skills and Abilities
- Monstrum Vocare: Sepia can magically bind monsters to her soul and store them within her memories. She can summon copies of these bound creatures on a whim, and they obey her will as obedient pets. Sepia has a limited number of monsters she can soulbind with. The more she summons at once the faster the act fatigues her, and she can't summon more than one copy of a single monster. Her affinity with each summon, as well as the relative strength of each summon, affects how much fatigue the summon poses on her.
- Corpus Mutare: Through a much slower process than her Monstrum Vocare, Sepia can modify a person's body to take on the aspects of one of her soulbound monsters. These changes are usually temporary, and the spells involved can be woven much quicker if she casts them on herself. However, repeated use of this magic can cause the changes to become permanent, as Sepia's own body makes apparent.
- Masterful Manipulator: Sepia is well versed in getting what she wants, whether you realize it or not. Politics and interpersonal relationships are trifles to her.
- Swordstress: Like all Dreadlords, Sepia is no slouch in combat either. She prefers the use of the rapier and is a notable duelist.
- Spellweaver Seamstress: Sepia has her hobbies as well. She finds designing her own clothing to be enjoyable, and often crafts quaint enchantments into her works.
