The Windy Road: Non-player Characters: Akraisel

Her Imperial Majesty, Akraisel, Lady of Mysteries, Angel of the Secret regions and Chief of the Supreme Mysteries

Akraisel is of the oldest ranks of Heaven, the second of the ten to first walk and serve in the Perfect Realm. She, for Akraisel is often perceived in the feminine, was once said to stand on the highest peak at the center of the Perfect Realm and to recite each morning the beauties of creation. To Akraisel, creation is a testament to her work, while also seeing her work as a testament to creation.

Akraisel did not cease in her praise of creation when the first death was laid at the gates of Heaven. Nor did she cease in her praises when Lucifer lead his followers in revolt and they were cast into the depths of Hell. For all the long ages she did not leave her place in the Celestial City that was a reflection of her. Until the day came when her voice did not sound in Heaven, when her feet did not tread the Mountain, and Heaven truly understood Loss. For the first time since the birth of the world Akraisel has wrapped herself in a realm of the World Ash and created a Chancel. All of Creation wonders what shall come next.

Akraisel takes the form of a teenage girl, perhaps thirteen. From her back sprout six sextets of crystal wings, burning with the light of Heaven. Her face is that of a woman jut blooming except her eyes, fields of stars that extend into infinity.

Akraisel is ancient, even by the standard of the World Ash. She cares deeply for Creation and yet is unable to understand some parts of it, including those that are part of her. She can not help but to love in strange ways. She demands much of Powers and does not think of the costs.

Imperator Properties

Cruel

Akraisel is not lacking of Empathy, she is just incapable of recognizing the limits of her lesser selves, her Powers. She will push them beyond their limits again and again, and not understand when they fail. Her Powers can expect no gratitude from her.

Soul-twisted

Akraisel is old beyond counting, she existed before Time. Her ways are unknowable even to other members of the Host of Heaven. Her Powers are impossible to comprehend metaphysically

Considerate

Akraisel has grander plans that bring her from Heaven than mere administration, she expects similar of her Powers.

Principled

Akraisel was immune to the lure of Lucifer, this carries through to her Powers.

Handicap: Ceremonial

Akraisel's estates are intrinsically bound to the ebb and flows of Creation and must work within it.

Handicap: Serve Beauty

This part of her Code is burned on the souls of her servants.
