Name: Avalon the Shifter
Age: ???
Race: Changeling
Gender: Female
Class: Nightstalker Assassin
Deity: The Traveller

Appearance: Like many changelings, Avalon has skin that is near ghastly white, hair like ivory and eyes that are wide with neither an iris nor pupil to tell which direction her gaze is looking in. Her entire body seems like an empty canvas waiting to be painted on. Her facial features, too, seem oddly subdued and flat. Her motions are fluid with a practiced silence. As if to contrast her white being, she wears dark clothing, skin tight paired with flexible leather armor without many noisy metal planks. Her weapon of choice is a spiked chain, the ends bladed for maximum damage on her furthest reach.

Avalon hardly wears her original appearance, preferring instead to wear the many faces and disguises that carry her throughout her career. A new face for every occasion. Generally she creates her own appearances, taking traits and mannerisms from people she happens to encounter along the way, but otherwise can create a picture perfect imitation, man or woman. When she falls asleep or unconscious, however, she does revert back to her changeling form.

Personality: Avalon considers herself a professional and has been at her trade for quite a long time. From it she has developed a startling tolerance to violence and cruelty and it's quite obvious that her moral compass has long since been discarded. She ignores honor for opportunity, always tips the balance for her favor, and if asked to choose between saving herself or the lives of many innocents, will always, without hesitation, choose herself. And yet despite her selfishness, Avalon surprisingly has a way with people. Much like her changeling nature, she can adopt a genial personality, make friends where she normally wouldn't find any, and wean information out of the most stubborn of adversaries. Everyone has their uses. The companions she draws around her are there as meat shields and to cleave a path towards her target. She considers information her closest ally.

Avalon has an acute fear of avian creatures, birds, bats, winged beasts and the like. While this is a phobia she has been attempting to overcome for years, many marks escape and many covers blown simply because a troop of geese would fly too close to where Avalon is hiding. Avalon never shows her original form to anyone aside from those she's willing to rely on with her life. She's actually quite embarrassed of her changeling form and anyone who manages to see her original skin she regards with contempt and frustration.

History: Arcane Agent- Much of Avalon's childhood is unknown (and mostly undeveloped, considering I don't even know how old she is), but her career as a spy and assassin began early. She worked locally and was well acquainted with underground lords, selling her talents mostly to scrap by a living. Eventually she worked up enough of a reputation to be hired by political spy lords, but Avalon couldn't be fooled. The High Wizard had her under his employ even if he hadn't signed the deal himself.

She never knew the specific name of the spy lord she worked for and only regarded him as "the Quill". For six months, Avalon spied on nobles, gathered private information and whispered in ears in exchange for comfortable living. Whether these people were aware of her changeling nature or not she didn't care. She prided herself in working for these men, no matter how many lives she ruined in the process or how dark the shadows were she lurked in. These were people she was willing to show her true form to.

Of course the feeling was not mutual. Misjudging her welcome,
