From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe

[edit] Brief Bio
Eshet is a demon...a succubus in fact. So it could go on for a long while listing her various conquests...except she only has four, because you see, Eshet, unlike most succubi is quite prudish and timid. Not much is known about her history except for the fact the last time she was on Earth was during the Jewish Second Temple period and that she has been banished from Hell for being herself.
[edit] Powers
Eshet has two primary powers:
[edit] Energy Manipulation
This nebulous ability gives Eshet the ability to move energy from one person or thing into another or adjust the flow within a person or thing. There are three kinds of energy within a living being Eshet can 'play' with and those are life, soul, and mental energy. She must be in physical contact with the subject to be able to manipulate the energy within the subject. The various effects she can create using this ability range from knocking a person out and sending them through a wall with a single blow to kicking up a persons healing factor several fold and limited mind reading. Note that the fact she could read a persons mind or steal their soul are things she keeps secret and tries to avoid doing, even under dire circumstances
[edit] Sheer Dumb Luck
Eshet is the embodiment of luck at times, with things usually ending in her favor when there is a result she perceives as positive. A clever opponent would be wise to instill doubt in Eshet as to what out come she wants or forcing her to protect someone as in those cases, her luck will sometimes redirect bullets to her or other sorts of misfortune.
[edit] Personality
Eshet is a sweet friendly sort, but quite jumpy and easily intimidated. The only exception is when people threaten anyone who is of importance to her, which causes her to be uncharacteristically brave. She has some self-esteem issues as she has had to combat the idea of being broken because she is different from most succubi in her prudish and shy nature, and more recently, her cybernetic arms. Her problems have been exasorbated by an incident she will only tell her closest friends about...so if you have heard of it, you are considered important by Eshet (coincidentally, all but one person who have recieved a gift of red crystal know the story). She is also intensely curious about this new world around her, due to her over 3000 year isolation from the Earth.
[edit] Friends
((If you want to be on this list, put your name and I'll fill in the rest))
- Operative Ces: Ces is Eshet's closest friend. He was one of the first people in the Isles to be nice to her, helping her find her way back to Port Oakes after taking a wrong turn and ending up in Saint Martial. Since then, they've grown rather close rather quickly, leading Eshet to regard him as an older brother figure. What she doesn't realize is Ces is not exactly the nice person she thinks he is when he isn't around her...but what she doesn't know can't hurt her, now can it? Since his extended absence from the Isles, Eshet acquired a suit of Bane Spider armor in order to learn from him when he gets back.
- Natalie McGregor: Eshet's adopted sister, Natalie is very dear to her and Eshet would quite willingly hurt anyone who hurt her. Eshet seems to not care that her adopted sister is a half-angel, rather she seems to worry more about the fact that her sister is so fragile mentally and is trying to help her build herself up into a semi-normal person.
- Kirisani: Eshet's well...she doesn't know what now, Kiri introduced Eshet to the idea of both piercings and tattoos, which she has taken to rather whole heartedly, with 7 piercings and four tattoos (only two of which she'll admit to, given the location of the other two...). Recent events have changed Eshet's estimation of Kiri which validated her mother's position. Long story short, Eshet has all but severed ties from Kiri as the Kiri she loved stayed dead.
- Katerzina: Eshet's adopted mother, Jo is one of the people Eshet trusts to never steer her wrong. The only thing Eshet worries about is that her mother is too hard on herself and that she should try to be happier. She tries to work very hard to earn the love that Jo shows her by trying to live up to ideals she thinks Jo would approve of. Unfortunately, she and Kiri don't much care for each other, which causes Eshet to be caught in the middle.
- Run Riot: A new friend of Eshet's and one she has grown rather close to rather quickly as he is the only other Jew Eshet's met in the Isles. She calls him Rabbi because, in Eshet's rather simple world view, he is one at heart...if just a little too human at times.
- Sonja Markov: Sonja is Eshet's big sister, keeping an eye on her despite everything that has happened between them. She is slightly confused by Sonja's recent transformation, but she hopes that the Sonja who is nice to her is still in there.
- Mindspun: Mary and Eshet are a close couple to say the least, both of them possesing similar personalities and an unusually common heritage, it is no surprise that the two started dating quietly.
- Methea: Methea is a new friend of Eshet's that Eshet is keeping an eye on, worried about events surrounding her.
- Glimmershade: Glim is one of Eshet's closest friends, Glim provides a grounding to the otherwise idealistic Eshet. Eshet adores Glimmer and still tries to win her aproval in all things.
- Redwing Eagle: Dee is another recent friend of Eshet's who has grown rather close rather quickly, Eshet trusting Dee with a few secrets she hasn't shared with anyone else.
- Ani Reaves: Ani is Eshet's newest addopted family member, who decided that Eshet was her sister rather than the other way around. Eshet doesn't mind because Ani is quite nice and likes helping Eshet in the kitchen, which is a plus in Eshet's mind.
- Unlucky Coincidence: Joe is a friend of Eshet's that Eshet met through Mary. His moral nature combined with his love of family have endeared him to Eshet rather quickly, especially after he took the job of Uncle Joe to Eshet's youngest daughter, Rime
- Raine Heartfall: Raine is Eshet's latest fixation, as she wants to be friends with the rather abrasive and (in her opinion) lonely Raine. She genuinely feels sorry for Raine and worries that she pushes people away when she should be pulling them close. Eshet's determination to be Raine's friend is usually met by ridicule and abuses, but it has borne some fruit as Eshet thinks Raine swears a little less at her.
[edit] Others (a polite way of saying enemies)
- Detective Parker: Parker used to be someone she considered nice...that was until he without warning attacked Kiri. Eshet now is rather afraid of him...
- Darkhail: A betrayal that hurt more than she'd care to admit, Eshet used to view Luna as a sister. Then she attacked Kiri and later Eshet...which, combined with a few other things, is making her wanting to withdraw into her shell and close out the world around her.
[edit] Trivia
- Eshet's most prized possession is a small leather bound Torah dating from the 1930s that was a gift from Run Riot, who she views as her Rabbi.
- Eshet's second most prized possession is a teddy bear given to her by Kiri. She named it Dov. It is usually safe to say that if she is asleep anywhere, she'll have the bear.
- Eshet has a tendency to give those she cares for or respects greatly a gift that contains a bit of an odd red crystal. This gift has the ability to increase the bearer's luck by a signifigant margin. People who have recieved such gifts: Katerzina, Methea, Run Riot, Feyll, Sonja Markov, Kiri, Iden, Ces, Dee, Glimmer, Mary, and Rime
- Eshet is rather easily embarrassed...especially about issues most succubi can talk about as though it were nothing big.
- Eshet, unlike most demons, is very religious and actually converted to Judaisim
- Ehset has a rather large sweet tooth and is quite good in the kitchen, leading her to carry a few baggies of cookies on her at all times
- Unusually, Eshet doesn't have the tongues ability of most of her kind, she also has a weakness to negative energy
