Symania Alvendor

Symania Alvendor is an Elf Warlock of the Author and one of the main party members of The Great Gaenrun Caper Campaign.

Appearance
Symania is a 5' 8" elf with long platinum blonde hair, green eyes, and a lithe build.

As a succubus tiefling, she has red skin, black horns black hair, and an hourglass figure.

Personality
Symania brands herself as a 'self-preservationist' in order to excuse her frequently selfish decisions. Other words that could be used include 'temptress' and 'opportunist'. She prides herself on her ability to make strategic friendships and relationships in order to achieve her goals. She's very flirty but quick to anger when you press her on the right issues.

Due to her issues growing up, she doesn't have much in the way of loyalty but is easily influenced with something sounding like good logic.

Morality
Her morality is ever changing but it is apparent that she doesn't seem to mind killing people or making decisions that benefit her over the many. Depending on who is influencing her at the time, she will make decisions in more good or evil ways.

Background
Symania Alvendor was born to [mom] and [dad] in Thyslond. Her mother is the CEO of a large steam tech company and her father is a kitchen gadget columnist. Her parents divorced during her childhood and she grew up with three parents who didn't pay much attention to her.

She struggled to create and maintain friendships throughout her youth that led her to lifelong struggle with feeling genuine emotions. People are always tools to her, always a means to an end. Her greatest desire is to have a genuine, permanent relationship of any sort.

After years of sleeping her way through Gaenrun she found herself on her way to Markham to challenge the first threat to her seemingly unstoppable rise to power under The Author when she learned that Brax had surpassed her in followers.

Relationships
The Author: Symania has been a Warlock of The Author for nearly 8 years, having made her initial deal with Them at age 19. She turned to The Author after Wylore was run out of town and has been actively recruiting for them ever since. They have a long and complicated relationship but ultimately Symania sees them as the guide and mentor she never had. Despite this, she has frequently been doubting if the work she is doing for The Author is 'good' as of late. The question she continues to struggle with, however, is if the work she is doing isn't 'good' does she care as long as she's getting what she wants?

G'aetan T'aire: Friendly acquaintances that respect each other but keep each other at an arm's length. When G'aetan's memories of religion were taken Symania took that chance to recruit him to The Author. After he renounced The Author and she was encouraged to use the two boons she was holding, she made the decision to restore G'aetan's memories despite knowing he would be mad with her. While he wasn't thrilled upon the return of his memories, he instead took that time to tell Symania he was worried about her and thought better of her than she did herself.

Ara Dordove: They initially bonded over their dislike and distrust of Phoebe despite their differing moral compasses. Before Ara's memories were lost, they were becoming closer friends, Symania sometimes being the only one who could help calm her down when she got mad. She used one of her boons to restore her memories, restoring their friendship.

Morgun Magnesson: These two are uneasy allies. They have very different values and most of their conversations end in snipes at the other person's way of life.

Phoebe Ynthimar: She has a long history with Phoebe, beginning when they both attended wizard school together in their early teenage years. They were fast friends, though Phoebe mainly saw Symania as a possibly useful ally more than a friend at the time. After abandoning her as a friend in college, they were re-introduced through Ara and have repaired their burned bridges. After fucking in Last Mount, they've started to grow ever closer.

Ignatious Femok: When she first heard Ignatious's pitch for political office, she publicly criticized him. Realizing the error of her ways, she apologized to him and developed much more respect for what he was trying to do. In working with him she realized that she was far more interested in being the accessory to a political campaign than she initially thought.

Ness: Initially when Symania met Ness, she thought he was fun to mess with but she has since developed much respect for him and the work he does. When he was trying to have everyone sign NDAs and contracts for monetary compensation she was the only one who signed because she, in her heart of hearts, understood that it helped him.

Brax: Symania did not like Brax at first for the simple reason that Brax had surpassed her in recruits initially. When she talked to Brax in more detail about her relation to The Author it caused her to check her privilege a little bit. She now has some interest in trying to find Brax's child.

A History of the Wrong Guys (and Girls)
Wylore: Her first relationship in college. Wylore was one of her professors and he cared far more about her than she did about him. Just when she was starting to let down her walls he had to run due to the fact that he was outed as a sorcerer at a school for wizards. Shortly after his disappearance she met The Author.

Duev Darjeeling: A non-binary elf Druid who liked to fuck trees. Her mother was not pleased.

Yevgenia Marshtomp: A human woman who was an engineer in Symannia’s mother’s steampowered vehicle company, Mithrin Co. Yevgania was fired from her position when it was discovered that she was sleeping with Symania and started a rival vehicle company in Thyslond. She broke up with Symania to focus on her career, forming a company called Marshtomp Incorporated

Pokir Bumbleina: An Indie Elf filmmaker in Masm’kur. He is a dark-skinned elf from a distant continent. She thought he was going to make it bigger, but he poured too much work into one piece that he never finished. She left him a note before she left but never gave him a proper goodbye.

Celia Vandellia: Female Elf CEO of a successful law firm specializing in Dwarven workplace injuries. Went on a date to Wave Sounds and Symania became into the idea of seeing one of the members of the band. Celia and Symania got into a big argument after Symania joked about fucking one of the band members. She was probably the best person Symania ever dated but as their relationship got too close she got scared and left. The day after she slept with Maelstrom Celia tried to get ahold of her and apologize and but she never responded.

Maelstrom "Mal": Lead singer of the band Wave Sounds. Funded by Krosgrod, which is how she met him. Their break-up was bad. He was way too edgy because his mother died as a child. While their relationship was very lackluster, it was a very good couple of years for recruitment.

Olmec Krosgrod: A wealthy dwarf who is effectively the Scholastic of Gaenrun. He prints the books for The Author in exchange for her services.

Inspector Gwen: A one-night stand in Markham that Symania initially pursued only for information that made her long for something more. They indicated that they would like to sleep with each other again should their paths cross.
