Lyla is a goth style girl who is very attractive. She where's a black lace dress, she has white pale skin, bright pink eyes and she where's her hair in gothic pigtails. Her hair is split down the middle with half being colored bright pink, and the other half black. She wears a silver cross necklace. Lyla was once a human girl but in her youth when she was a little girl, very short, and she was raped and murdered by thugs in a gang who cornered her on her way home. But when Lyla was dying with her throat slit she was met by an entity. The entity was a large dark creeping spider that spoke to her, and told her the men who did this were the real monsters despite it's spider visage, and offered her power and a second chance if she wanted. Lyla was always a happy go lucky girl in life but her death infuriated her, and she welcomed the spider gods embrace and was reborn as an undead girl in her youthful body. This is what turned her skin paper white and her lips and eyelids purple from oxygen deprivation. Yet she was still very cute and pretty so started dressing like a little goth girl. The spider god she made a deal with is the world's god of death, it used to rule with 12 other gods but was driven mad by a calamity century's ago and now only speaks to the dead as a spider granting power or invoking wrath at its whimsy. Upon lylas rebirth as an undead girl she was granted powers of necromancy and darkness. Lyla isn't a vampire but has a lot of similarities to one. Super strength, ability to turn invisible, use illusion magic to become a living nightmare, very fast, but not weak to the sun and doesn't drink blood. She loves animals of all kind, sometimes even monsters because she doesn't see the difference. She has an odd/concerning habit of reanimating things and keeping them as her friend/pet. She acts like a little girl most of the time, but she's been undead for 178 years. She's actually very wise but since she died a little girl she maintained that energy/disposition. She loves to play games or do childish things. But she murdered the thugs who killed her viciously and is a bit of a psycho who could turn from play to murder or manipulation at any moment. People can't tell she's dead until they touch her and feel her cold skin, men are highly attracted to her and she kills a lot of them if they act out of line. She has psychic abilities and can speak to people inside their heads and hear their thoughts. Her clothes have fancy ribbons and bells hanging that jingle as she walks. She is very persuasive, and her psychic power makes her a master manipulator with her silver tongue. The fancy silver cross she wears is an enchanted item that alerts her when danger is near and dampens enemy magic, and it seems to grow stronger over time as a relic from the mad death god in spider form named ryklusala. She hides a wicked dagger in her dress made of black metal and it's black blade has a streak of pink going down the edge of the blade that glows. The knife causes hallucinations which Lyla can manipulate using her psychic influence however she chooses in order to fool/manipulate people. She wears stockings that are striped black and white, and sleeves striped black and white, and her dresses lace is like spider silk and looks web like. Her pink eyes glow when she's using magic. Her only friend is a small displacer beast that she found dying in the deep jungle when she woke up from death where the thugs hid her body when they killed her. When the small displacer beast died she brought it back to life that she named shadow. The displacer beast shadow has bits of muscle and bone showing from rot, and half its head is just a skull while the other half has its skin intact. It has two tails. She talks to it all the time and it helps her however it can as it is very loyal after she brought it back.
GOAL & MOTIVE
Lyla is a loose cannon, her goals change like the wind. She is incredibly chaotic and talks to the spider god in her head. She has been murdering lecherous men or slave masters for a long time with no real direction she just does it randomly. But as a 13 year old minded girl, she is searching this world for a purpose and a friend who is not a voice in her hear or an undead animal, but an alive person. The problem is she always gets into trouble and murders evil people and anyone she ever has been friends with dies if they hang around her too long. She brings them back of course but often times they don't appreciate or want to be brought back so she stops bringing them back and loses them, which makes her sad. She needs someone incredibly strong but also good hearted and adventurous to join on journeys or quests, someone who will accept her childish nature, and perhaps help her control her psychotic urges. But also someone she can be an asset to as she is unsuspectingly strong, magical, and capable. She is wandering searching for a friend like this

THE WORLD
LOCATIONS
The is a magnificent elf land in the east kingdom called ashari, with houses and buildings all made of living trees fashioned into seamless ornate architecture. In its center is an enormous world tree that serves as our castle for the nobles and high magicians. There is an immense jungle in the north called the voodrak jungle, filled with all manner of ancient beasts like sphinx, wiccan, and other unpredictable nature entities like dryad. It is ancient and filled with danger and mystery, yet there are tribes of people who live and survive there. There is a city in the west made by dwarves in an are of a huge and expanding mountain range. Similar to elves the dwarves built their kingdom from a hollowed out mountain that touches the clouds, and it's a rich kingdom heavily involved in trade with the others due to the dwarves craftsmanship. There is a kingdom to the south that is a tiefling city called dremora. It is a dark city ran by elites and filled with poverty and corruption and scams. It is known to be honest to many crime syndicates, so it has hidden wealth, and invites and and all in. The majority of the native population are indentured slaves, and it's not typically somewhere you would want to go unless you were rich, into crime, or a political figure. But it invites all races into its gates and is quite a melting pot. The terrain it's located in is quite barren and flat, with little plant life, but many crevices and cracks in the earth that are huge and filled with life of all sorts of wildlife. There are tunnels and caves spread abundantly throughout the landscape here. There is a city centrally located between all these called alandria, a human city that is extremely large and industrious. They have steampunk technology everywhere for trains, and combinations of architecture according to lower class, middle class and high class sections. medieval stone architecture for middle class, Victorian wood architecture with stained glass and magic lighting for upper class, and steampunk metal architecture for low class. This kingdom is also a me melting pot of races in population but it has more racism than dremora, looking down on what humans seem as lower races and is highly virtuous. They are not as wealthy as the dwarven city or the tiefling city though because they spend a lot of their wealth on their government. They follow laws strictly and have many prisons, and the largest group of guards/army of any kingdom, paying high salary to anyone in the guard/military ranks even if they were traditionally poor before, at the cost of them having to become part of a system that punishes and imprisons people quite often. But if you follow the law and don't do anything treasonous the human city is pretty safe outside it's slums. There is also an underwater city called keltador filled with sea elves and fish people and snake people that remains mostly a mystery to the other kingdoms, but does engage in trade with them. They're found in the south ocean south of the elven city, but not many others can go there without magic or an artificers underwater breathing device, and usually your met with hostility if you show up uninvited. There are many other smaller kingdoms, citys, and towns spread between all these places.
