Name: Sintesse Nymanketh'Valay (the surname  she gave herself after the fall of House Zentre Falz)
Age: Unknown (though she appears extremely young for one of her power)
Height:5'0
Weight:102 lbs
Hair: Teal/Blue (She dyes her hair this strange color, finding the stark whites and platinum tones that come naturally to her heritage dull.  Occasionally she will streak her hair with the dye instead of doing an all over color job, though most usually it is solidly colored with only the faintest highlights here and there.)Her cut is long, the back hanging down to her waist, but the front is kept in neat layers.  Soft waves and curls flow throughout her hair, and sometimes she decorates these with small beads in the shape of tiny spiders.  
Eyes: Red
Skin: Dusty Ebony
Identifying Marks:  Her skin is flawless, save for two things.  On the small of her back is a brand, rather simple in design, is the word SIN.  Her face is marked by another scarification, the form of a spider.  This was taken on as the final process in her becoming an arachnomancer.  The dark wound is slightly raised and she paints it a mix of blues and purples, giving her face an eerie glow.  She is NEVER seen without the paint.  She has several piercings, but is known at any time to wear some and not others, so it is difficult to name how many she has.  
Deity: Lolth
Class/Lvl: 10 Arachnomancer/6 Sorceress/1 cleric

Family--Matron Sylstirsa Zentrel (Deceased)- Systra Zentrel (Deceased and eldest daughter)-Dyrissa Zentrel (deceased 2nd born; served as family weapon master temporarily after the death--err sacrifice of her father)-Veronia Zentrel (3rd born daughter, planned downfall of the house, was adopted into another and soon usurped the "throne")--Tesh'Valore (adopted male- was brought into the house as a prospect of future weapon master) Grave  ( Deceased Adopted male- he too was brought into the house to compete for weapon master)

Personality-- Plainly put, she's got the attitude of a horny teenager.  She's playful, moody, bratty but at times, extremely sexual.  Despite her vicious streak she inheireted, she sees no use in belittling males, though she DOES believe they are the lesser sex, they are simply just more fun when they've had their egos boosted and built up a bit...She prefers her lovers with more fight in them rather than the subdued pets that many males become around female drow.  She's extremely naive, still feeling she IS the princess she once was, though quite often, she is put in her place, especially living on the surface.  


Once the youngest daughter of House Zentre'Falz, she lived the life of an Underdark Princess, as she so defined it.  Her family's house was only a minor one, majoring in the slave trade in the Jenn'Yxir segment of Undrek'Thoz.   She spent her youth prior to her training attending parties (both of noble houses and common) and basically running amock and doing as she so pleased, often spending long nights dancing in a small tavern adjacent to her family's compoud called the Black Widow.  She was popular among most she met, the soldiers loyal to her family found her charming, and despite her well known vicious streak, she was far more popular than her older sisters, often making friends with the males who were in service with her family.  This--however,was kept under wraps, or so she thought.  

Not long after she completed her formal training in the arcane arts and had began the ritual to scar her face with the mark of the spider, her older sister's plan to fall the house came to fruition.  Veronia however, needing someone powerful and malleable on her side, hired a body guard to "protect" her sister thinking that later, Sintesse could prove to be a strong ally. This body guard was the mage slayer, Exile...or Vy as he was known at the time.  As the final inside raid occured, a miscasting of spells sent Sintesse, Vy, Grave and few other minor soldiers through a portal, casting them into the wilds of the Underdark.  There they forged their way to the great city of Menzoberranzen, their visit there was short lived however.   Sintesse wanted to remain in the drow city, as she had taken up to having an affair with one of the lesser houses patrons, an older drow male by the name of Livzen.  Not caring for the consequences, once she and her "family" returned to Undrek'Thoz, keeping hidden and seperating to live in seperate sects, she had Livzen shipped in for her enjoyment.  Vy, Livzen and she came to live in a rather small compound, hiring out Vy/Exile's services as a mage slayer within the city with Sintesse fronting the operation as an up and coming house.  This was done with the guidance and protection of her sister Veronia, who at that time had worked her way into another house as an adopted daughter.  During this time, her lover Livzen turned up missing-- *Exile puts his hands behind his back whistling innocently*

Behind the scenes, Sintesse and Vy/Exile formed alliances with many males, taking them in under their ranks, lending them backing by "adopting" them into the house.  The alliance forged between Exile and Sintesse was a rare one indeed, being more of an equal partnership than anything, something highly uncommon between males and females in the Underdark.  

Soon enough though, the ruling council began to show curiousity in this new house that seemed to have no ambition to rise in rank.  Often, someone was sent out to inspect the small compound and Sintesse was forced to put on a show, often abusing many of the males within her ranks, namely Exile, doing everything from ripping out his nipple rings for a misplaced look and smart remark to leading him about on a leash and whipping him.  This all grew quite old though, and tired of being looked in on, she and Exile abandoned the house and all those there, heading through the wilds until they reached the surface.  Naive, young and inexperienced, they sought to wreak havoc on the surface world, bringing Lolth's chaos with them.  The female arachnomancer has stayed in the Spider Queen's favor, still able to cast her cleric spells and use her spider like abilities granted through her special form of arcane magics.  


Since arriving on the surface, she finds herself in a sort of childlike awe, the first time she saw rain she was simply giddy, running out and playing in it once she realized it wasn't harmful.  Still weak to sunlight, she often covers herself when travelling in the daytime with light scarves, more often to protect her sensitive eyes, though she is slowly growing used to it.  

As of late, she and Exile have been spending their time in Skullport, finding it easy enough to blend in there, and still leaving them with access to their contacts on the surface.  

Abilities:  

Aside from her arcane spells, these are some of her favorite abilities in combat and out:

Spider form- She has the ability to change into different sized spiders.

Poison touch-She has the ability to poison a foe with her touch, causing health damage as well as affecting one's strength.  

Wall of webs-She has the ability to create a barrier of webs which is fireproof and extremely strong. With her webwalking ability, she can move through this barrier freely, not slowed in the least as she moves through the sticky material.  

Spider Blast- She has the ability to produce a cone shaped blast of highly poisonous spiders, causing creatures in the affect area be poisoned by the spiders' bites...

These are not her only arachnomancer abilities, they are just the ones she uses most often.  All abilities and settings were taken from the Dungeons and Dragons Underdark book.
