Tif Arelost

Mind over matter

Created by Mu

Seeker Tiffany Arelost (a.k.a. Tif the Marvelous)

The smartest woman in the world, tactician to the largest empire in the known realms, and above all else, a considerably questionable alcoholic, Tif Arelost is a mastermind and prophet of the grandest order.
Known for her famous "Arelost's Prophecy", she predicted the return of her most sworn enemy, Gorivax, in which the ghosts of the past will rise up against the red death that burns the skies. Little did she know that she was a part of that prophecy and stood beside those ghosts as a powerful ally.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tif is relatively short for her racial make-up, stout, narrow, and light as a feather. She is considerably agile and strong for any mage out there, but she is prone to the common cold during winter seasons, which renders her spellcasting useless.

Facial Features

Sporting slightly pointed ears, long facial structure but soft features, she is considered a standard Half-Elf.

Identifying Characteristics

The brooch on her cloak is unmistakable.

Physical quirks

When inquisitive, she will often bow over, looking up with her hands cupped behind her back.

Special abilities

Tif is one of the original Seekers who was first to unlock her "affinity", dubbed "Conscious Impossibility", she is able to recall any spell she has seen and cast it once, as well as being able to cast some spells without burning out any mana reserves within her body.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Tif is recognised as the most intelligent woman in Urithan, boasting an IQ of 310 and straight As in her education record. She is also known for the success of the Siege of Fort Valeruun during the 600-year Draenia War, where her intellect and cunning aided the Novarian Army in crushing the opposing forces at play.

Failures & Embarrassments

Tif has on multiple occasions been seen drunk in public, having a strong resistance to alcohol poisoning, she often will go overboard and stumble out of whatever establishment she is in, straight into the streets.

Morality & Philosophy

"If it has the three basic components, I can cast it. If I can't, then I'll try to drink it."

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Tif wishes to see the end of the Seekers, by destroying Gorivax, the "Red Death", and freeing the world of his evil. Then, and only then, will she be content in her existence.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Tif is a master of dragonchess, philosophy, and all things magical. She is, however, terrible at Gods save the Emperor - a game in which each player has a large tankard of alcohol and somebody drops a sovereign in, and has to down the drink before anyone else. She has been quoted in saying "it should be called 'Gods save the poor cleaner'."

Likes & Dislikes

Tif seems to love everything in life; people, knowledge, adventures, and treasures. She despises mocktails and celery, so don't get her started, you might find a Delayed Blast Fireball in your drink...
