Physical Description
Dryka use of the Fae Glamor has actually caused Dryka to forget exactly what there birth appearance was. Dryka though has a few effects that are consistent across the changes. Dryka can affect height with glamor but only minimum and if not specifically adjusted stands 5’10” but can go up to 6’ and down to 5’10”. In addition to that Dryka’s hands while they appear normal from the top once they are turned over the veins and the folding cresses are a light green like a leaf. In addition if you look closely enough you can see that all of the veins under the skin where others would have blue are green. The red veins are still red as in normally people. The touch of Dryka’s hand doesn’t feel like skin but like a leaf. While Dryka can change eye color with glamor, it takes extra focus to adjust from brown. Same with Dryka’s hair.
In addition to this Dryka’s direct touch can be dangerous. Dryka after eating certain bugs for a few days a toxin will begin to form on the skin of the fingers. Casually touching won’t affect a person as it has to be ingested. Though it will seem like Dryka’s hands are sweaty. If the toxin is ingested it can will cause spasming and can kill if enough is ingested.

Depending on which gender Dryka has changed to for the day there are two default forms that Dryka will resort to which makes Dryka believe that this might have been what original traits. The male form has brown hair, and brown eyes, the facial features are more chiseled and bulker. Strongly built this form is 5’10” and had a handsome but friendly face with olive skin. While in this form if not wearing mask and going around not looking like a Geraet. He will wear what ever clothing is appropriate for the event called for. While in the female form the height is the same, but appears less bulky but well toned. The face losses the chiseled features and gains more curves as does the rest of her body. As for clothing again will choose clothing appropriate to the setting.
Regardless of which form one takes if appearing fully masked, Dryka tends to take wear robes that will help to disguise the form of the day. Though depending on the context will wear appropriate clothing.

Personality
The center of Dryka’s life is the belief that the Emperor rescued Dryka from chaos and possible death, and that only through him can order and stability be brought to all of the world. Extremely intelligent Dryka understand that some of the things they have been asked to do and will be asked to do will be hard, and even cruel, but it is for the overall good.
Dryka though is a happy person who often is seen smiling and laughing, and is well suited as an actor as enjoys sharing stories with other people. The Fae is intelligence and studies other people and their behavior, both as an actor and a spy.
Even masked Dryka can put others at easy, and has many acquaintances but only really has friends in the Geraets.

History
Dryka was born the 25th of glade in 104 during the Age of Steel to Drysora and Kasram. They were the Chieftain and consort of the Winter Court tribe Kalso Dryaka Yun’pur. When Dryka was born it was known that this baby would be the couple’s tribute to the Emperor to protect the tribe from persecution. The parents thought they had steeled their hearts against the day that Dryka was taken but they discovered as it got closer that the silly and energetic Dryka had left and impression on them. It was a difficult day when the Begleiter arrived to retrieve Dryka.
Dryka mourned the separation from the parents she still remembers but was so young that adjusting to the comfortable lifestyle was easy. Like the other Fae in the group at an early age all of them were taught reading, writing and math. Early on the Begleiter perceived that Dryka was a talent actor, and with the fact that Dryka gave very little physical sign of being a Fae they began to train Dryka not only as an actor but as a spy and if need be an assassin.
Dryka found using the Fae Glamor to be easier then others and actually enjoyed it as the years of practicing acting helped with both talent and glamor ability. Dryka shifted so often that over the years that it would be hard for Dryka to actually find birth form or gender. While changing genders is the hardest part of the glamor, Dryka will do it and even just do it for the chance to practice. In addition to all of this training as she approached graduation it was decided to give Dryka the ability to manipulate the world. Dryka was given the runes of Mesmer and Traversion. The first to manipulate and audience and the second so as not to be found were Dryka wasn't supposed to be.
As Dryka come of age and graduates they has been made on the of the Consorts as well as a Begleiter. Dryka is an actor, not yet assigned to any company other then the Emperor’s but has been loaned out for a couple of productions so far.
In addition to acting lessons, Dryka has been taught loyalty to the Emperor, and that the Emperor keeps Dryka and the Kalso Dryaka Yun’pur tribe safe. All of the years of training has worked and Dryka is convinced that they must do everything they can to protect the Emperor who will keep things in order, and because of that Dryka is dedicated to helping keep the powerful under control. We will see what happens.

Arcane Ledge
First Arcane Taken: Mesmer
Level: Novice
EXP: 5
Lores: 2
Received: Starting Package
Novice Techniques
Overture
The overture is exactly what it is implied to be, the Mesmer introducing themselves into the symphony of an individual or a grouping of them. The Mesmer opens their senses and attunes themselves to the subject of their focus until the symphony becomes clear to them.
Tuning
Quite simply, the feeding of one’s aether into a particular melody in order to make it stronger thus causing a shift in the rhythm of the subject’s thoughts.
Note
Limited to simplistic and singular emotions, a Note is introduced into an individual melody in order to change it. This is achieved by the Mesmer concentrating on the emotion they wish to channel into the melody they are focused on and then feeding that saturated aether into the stream of the melody. Introducing the same note repeatedly will eventually make it become the focus of the melody..
Second Arcane Taken: Traversion
Level: Novice
EXP: 10
Lores: 1
Received: Starting Package
Novice Techniques
Spatial Mapping
Taking only a few moments, and in most instances it is near-instantaneous, the wizard opens their senses up to the Slipspace pathways that interconnect all locations. They then attune their aether to the appropriate pathway and then slip across that path to their intended destination by using it as a guidewire while traversing the Slipspace. The further from their point of origin their destination is, the longer it takes and the more demanding it is to attune to the proper pathway, and the more difficult it is to find.
Blink
The Traverser can temporarily step into the Slipspace partially, ejecting from it at the designated point of focus. Spatial awareness plays a pivotal role in learning distance, as a poorly aimed blink poses small risk of injury. Repetitive use of this ability will quickly drain aether.
Hitch
The Traverser quickly aligns the spatial pathways between themselves and an object within their field of view. They create a minute portal through which the object enters and then exits at a point that is also within their field of view. Through this method, the wizard might be able to make a sword vanish from an opponent’s hand only to reappear in the wizard’s own hand. Due to the rapidity with which the spatial pathways must be aligned to achieve this technique, it is limited in its applicability.
Vault
The ability to Vault is that of the Traverser going a distance greater than what can be considered a Blink. This is the power by which a wizard is capable of teleporting themselves greater distances than what is immediately within their field of view. To accomplish this, the wizard attunes their aether to the appropriate pathways in the Slipspace and essentially “leaps” from their point of origin to their intended destination. The effect sees them teleported from one place to another in mere moments. The greater the distance, the more difficult it is to align the appropriate spatial pathways that they can perceive and thus the more draining it is to Vault to the intended location.

Housing.
Dryka lives in a room within the School of Adelard. While it is small it is a nice apartment with a comfortable bed, a dresser with a desk. The room also is large enough four a small couch and chair in case of visitors. Nothing in the room is fancy, but it is well made and nice and well kept up. There is a nice green carpet on the ground that allows helps keep in the warm, and a small stove to help warm the room and warm simple foods like tea.
Dryka can go down to the schools cafeteria if hungery and as a graduate is able to either eat there or return to their rooms if desiring privacy.
