Gifts

Elemental: You are so close to your estate that you can replace your body with a construct of your domain, and turn yourself into a living lava or telephones or bacteria or whatever your domain happens to be.

Immortal: You can only die in four ways - if your Imperator is slain, if you are struck with certain extremely rare Excrucian weapons, *possibly* if you commit suicide, or possibly if something completely unexpected comes from beyond the known Realms with unknown powers. You are both Eternal (you don't age; hunger, thirst, and the like are optional) and Durant (Difficult to injure and heal quickly) as well.

Handicaps

Affiliation - Hell: Corruption is the highest principle. Suffering is a form of corruption. Power justifies itself.

Competitive: If, in a situation, there is a way for Aurelia to show that she's better than the other party, she will do so (even at considerable risk to herself).

Lack of Willpower: Offered the chance to experience a new sensation herself, or if another party requests that they experience a new sensation, she cannot resist.

Can be Summoned: Her ties to the sensory leave her open to some attacks she would otherwise be able to handle. There are two intricate spice boxes in existence; each a puzzle holding in a piece of Zurphia, a spice of inordinate intoxicating power. Should either of these puzzles be solved, and the spice used in a dish, Aurelia is summoned and only freed at the allowance of her summoner.

Tied to Earth: She can't stay away from her once-home for long. She must spend at least 5 days out of every human month there. (Though, in practice, she's there much more frequently.)

This Again?: She can never perform the same basic sex act in the same style more than once in a given 3 week period. (Thanks, Meon.)

Cheap Date, Argumentative Family: (Family-wide flaws) All family members are "cheap dates" extremely easily affected by mind-altering substances. They are also quite prone to arguing, drunk or not.

Bonds

Mission Goal: (5 points) To help humans ever-expand their realm of sensation. She loves exposing hypocrisy in those who claim to be pure, and tempting those who are at war with themselves.

Anchor 1: (3 points) Emeril Lagasse. Duh.

Anchor 2: (2 points) Bill Clinton. His obvious enjoyment of the advantages his station gives him, combined with his obvious love of the sensory, make him a favorite. (Besides, he's fantastic in bed...)

Anchor 3: (3 points) Angela Bryer. She's *cool*.

Fine Food and Wine: (7 points) Her preoccupation with taste has only increased over the millenia.

Background

Although beautiful by the standards of her time, Aurelia intrigues the modern eye rather than inspiring any admiration of her beauty. She is a classically Roman woman, perhaps just past her mid-twenties. While she can be hard at times, generally she is seductively happy, and eager to help others achieve a wider array of sensory experiences.

Open about her background, she has told those who are interested much of her mortal life. She was born into a noble Roman family with a long tradition of politics, in the first century BCE. After a classical female education, she decided to enter the culinary arts (much to the chagrin of her mother). With an intuitive understanding of the harmonies of texture and taste, she rose quickly in the ranks, and was soon serving the Emperor and Senate in her native Rome. With the decadence popular at the time, she found an appreciative audience for her feasts, which highlighted exotic ingredients that few but the rulers could afford. (Unlike others of the time, she chose ingredients that not only were infamous, but which would taste good, and complement the other dishes.)

Her meals gained a reputation; tales were told about the orgies and arguments she could spark simply by combining the right foods in the right way. A naturally competitive person, she began a slow increase in the decadence of her feasts, ever searching for more exotic ingredients. Her expeditions eventually led her to the Chancel, where the Marketplace was in its early incarnations. Her desires made a distinct impression on the Marketplace and, after a time, the exotic food and spice stall was one of the best equipped. This continued for two or three years before Alakh-Mu EnNobled her, for reasons she is uncharacteristically reluctant to talk about.

The Millenia have been kind to her; she appears not to have aged at all (though her stola has begun looking more and more out-of-place). She is rarely in the Chancel, preferring to spend her time among humans, still her favorite subject. (Occasionally, she has been away from the Chancel for extended periods, returning moody and seclusive.) Over the years, her fascination with food and drink as methods of manipulation hasn't waned, though she's supplemented them with other forms of sensation. She has a particular fondness for those weilding power that give in to their hedonistic urges, encouraging a move away from (what she sees as) hypocritical morality-speak in the masses.
