Persephone

In order to keep regular content occurring I thought I would put up some things that I have already written.  Starting with stories and characters that were written for experience in a friend's Dungeons and Dragon campaign.  This is my first character for that campaign her name is Persephone. She was a Tiefling priestess of Chaos. The story behind the story is that we were talking about making characters for this campaign and my good friend said he wanted to make a priest of law. Well me being contrary me I said, "hey you know what would be great to have in that party as well, a priest of chaos." This campaign is still ongoing and starts out as an introduction to Planescape while still being on a prime world. I believe both Persephone and the law priest (Lex) were from the Outlands, the area beneath Sigil where the outer plains have gateways. So this is the first of Persephone's stories, I had so much fun with her and her history I just sort of kept on writing. So watch out for more about her.

Persephone Holysword
Persephone was born to a conman and a priest of chaos .  Some would consider the middle of the outlands, far from any town, an inconvenient place for a birth.  It was but in her parents defence she was a little early.

Persephone had a blast travelling the planes with her parents.  Some of the walkers in sigil would have a hard time racking up the number of adventures that Persephone had before she was ten.   There was the time her sister was born on the first ring of the Abyss, there was some sort of strange forshadowing in the way her sisters were born.  Unfortunately by the time her second sister was born Persephone’s  parents were beginning to feel the strain of travelling the planes with too many children.  So in a spur of the moment decision like most of the ones her parents made they found places for all three of the girls.  Persephone, who was old enough to decide, chose to follow in her mother’s footsteps and so she and her baby sister went to the aBby OF divIne Chaos.

Persephone received her Chaotic orders and decided to spread the message throughout the planes. At some point she managed a stint on the Plane of Acheron where she learned much in the ways of battle and sword play.  However, even with the constant threat of crushing, Persephone found the cubes and overall lawful nature of Acheron boring and soon moved on.

Despite being overall of Neutral leanings on the idea of good and evil, Persephone has found herself entangled in the blood wars from time to time.  She looks on the entire prospect with amusement and claims she has only acted in the effort of continuing the wars for the sake of maintaining the balance of good and evil on the planes.

Now Persephone has found herself on a prime world.  The number of explanations she has given for why she is there is equal to the number of questioners.  Her haste to leave the world and return to the Planes suggests that she is not there by choice, though it is possible she has simply become bored with it.
