Jck'Lnn M'rkss

[Jck'Lnn Mrk'ss]

(( General Information ))

Character Name: Jck'Lnn M'rkss (pronounced Jaquelynn Markus)

Age: Older than the younger brother

Identified Court: Jck'Lnn is part of the Court of Wind.

Fey Blood: She was thought to be of pure Wind blood, but has recently begun to suspect that there are threads of Dark through her veins.

Appearance: The shortest strands of her long, pale blonde hair reach her breasts, the longest strands reach her calves--a memory of her long imprisonment. Pale moss green eyes that deepen to a stormy gray when angered, colors that emulated in her wings. Jck'Lnn is short-a paltry five feet- and small boned, every aspect of her is tiny and delicate except for her ghostly wings, the only large part about her. They are feathered giants that would be very cumbersome if they were corporeal.

Inner Court: The Untouchable of Wind, Jck'Lnn has told only one person of her power over Sound. She does not know if this Fey is still alive or not.

Level: Level Four

Powers: Fate, by the keys of her Piano.

The family of Jck'Lnn's father identified themselves more as Sound Fey than Wind Fey. She received a mutation of that power, which allows her to change the fate and destiny of herself and others. Through her Piano is the only way that she uses to access her powers, though none know this but her and her secret-keeper. Its symphonies twist time and Fey, but there must be balance in all things. What was created cannot be destroyed, only twisted for the better or the worse.

Magical Knowledge: For all her power to change fate, Jck'Lnn has no talent for magic. She can do small things with sound, but it is so small that the subject is almost embarrassing for her. A lack of discipline may be the cause of her lack of talent.

(( Personality ))

Jck'Lnn is the very definition of Wind Fey, vain with a lack of commitment. She changes her mind about everything, and constantly, from the way that she dresses to the piercings in her ears to her friends and loyalties. Jck'Lnn revels in change, and she wonders if it is time again for the world to change. She has lived long enough to learn that the only thing that's constant is change. Everything about her life has been decided for her, so Jck'Lnn is ready to be the one to make the decisions.

Underlying her facade is a bitterness and resentment against the father that married the daughter of the woman who killed Jck'Lnn and her mother.

Jck'Lnn is terrified that her wings are useless. While she can touch and feel her ghostly-wings, others go right through them. It is unknown how objects react with her wings. Jck'Lnn wears backless shirts and dresses, and sleeps on her stomach with a thin blanket (she usually lives in warmer climates) stretched up to her waist--all so that no object touch her wings.

Her Power is only used on her Piano. She loves to play other pianos, just for the practice and the musical aspect, but her Piano is used only for magical purposes. Jck is very hesitant to twist fate, now knowing how great the consequences for incorrect use can be.

(( History ))

Long ago,families held all the power. There were no Kingdoms, and the families ruled themselves. Fey married for political alliances, not for love. That was how Jck'Lnn's parents met. Gw'dnn and Helena were married to join two prominent families. Though a fondness eventually grew between them, it was their daughter they loved more than life itself. Jck'Lnn was taught languages, the arts, and mathematics by the most prestigious of teachers. Gw'dnn himself became one of them when her power showed itself one day in Piano lessons. She quickly excelled in this, and became arrogant and prideful.

That when she Heard a powerful curse coming after her, Jck'Lnn was sure that she could divert it. She could twist it. Instead of a curse meant to kill one, put two to sleep for a number of years, Jck'Lnn thought. It would be but a blip in the long lifetimes of the Fey. Helena, who was closest to Jck'Lnn, was chosen to bear the curse with her. But Jck'Lnn forgot the necessary balance. What was already created could not be destroyed. The leftover needed an outlet that her spell did not allow for. In the resulting devastation, her mother caught the brunt, immediatly disintigrating into particles of flesh and blood. Jck'Lnn was put into a state of living death-her body grew cold, blood did not flow, her brain shut down.

With no body of his wife's to burn, Gw'dnn lost himself when her body refused to burn during the death ritual and set out to kill the woman that had doomed the souls of his family.



Jck'Lnn's soul wandered the planet for thousands of years, observing and learning, going through cycles of bitterness and resentment. When she finally coming to peace with all that had happened, it seems that her punishment was over. Jck'Lnn's soul returned to its shell, remembering nothing of what happened when the curse was sent.
