Avra is a bizarre and mysterious entity that appears to follow Ilryn Dewsong, tasking her to do strange things and imparting to her magical secrets. They are fond of appearing in reflective surfaces, but is capable of manifesting as a face on more any flat plane. Avra appears keenly interested in magic, and often asks others about their abilities when they witness them.

Description

Appearance

Avra is capable of taking on a multitude of forms, but appears to be confined to appearing on surfaces. They are capable of creating an eerie, non-descript face to talk to others anywhere, but if possible, they will appear on a reflective surface as a hazy, purple mist in a vaguely humanoid shape. The magic Avra uses generally manifests along with diamond-shaped purple crystals.

Personality

Avra is distant and mysterious, only appearing when they please, and rarely when called. They appear to be driven by magical curiosity, manifesting to others after witnessing a display of potent magic. Avra will aggressively "suggest" violent courses of action, seemingly unbothered by carnage or consequences. Avra is fond of reflective surfaces, and will take the opportunity to appear in either a mirror or a pool of water if the opportunity arises.

Skills and Abilities

Avra is capable of manifesting themselves in a certain radius around Ilryn Dewsong, but seems to be limited to appearing on surfaces. It is likely that Avra is capable of utilizing powerful magic, though this remains to be seen.

History

Avra met Ilryn Dewsong at some point in her youth, and began teaching her dark arcana. At some point the two made a deal that Avra would use their power to help Ilryn masquerade as a bard for a time in return for a future favor.

In 989 IaC, the first part of Avra's deal with Ilryn ended when the half elf dropped her bardic guise, freeing them from the illusion. Avra began watching and following Ilryn afterwards, showing particular interest in the magic of both Steve Moran and Merjquinallurjafrey Acridoneypso. He appeared to both Ilryn and the Cursebusters a number of times, often tasking Ilryn to do strange and violent things. When Ilryn was cursed by the demon Kanvrak and the Mask of Fear, Avra began bargaining with the demon, promising to help release him if he limited his control over Ilryn's body.
