Antagonist: Thea

Thea is a half elf with brown hair and hazel eyes. Notably she never wears anything that exposes her midriff or really anything that exposes much of her chest either. This is different than many other Nidtrins who show as much skin as possible.

Her goal is to bring Nidtrix back onto this plane, which will allow the goddess enough power to theoretically fix what is wrong with this planet. The MCs can guess that this is her goal because it is the stated goal of many Nidtrins.

Thea's family is long dead by now and she has no children of her own. She does have a husband, which is actually rare in Nidtrin culture. She and Cael are in this together, believing that Nidtrix belongs on the planet and will fulfill her duty to fix it.

She has been technically alive for thousands of years. Her childhood happened during the Age of Intervention, which is very much over. But she was born into war and still feels she is fighting it.

Together, Thea and Cael technically command a battalion of people (Nidtrins) loyal to them. Thea does things the old way (as in, she doesn't think highly of Nidtrin brainwashing practices) and keeps people who think similar to her close.

Thea wants people to keep their autonomy and make their own decisions, hence she's generally against the brainwashing shtick and wants to promote Nidtrix by what she can do once she's back on the plane. Thea also doesn't want innocents to be harmed.

She does her very best to work within the law. When it comes to the laws of magic and religion, she has to lest she lose her power. As for governmental laws, she does her best to work within it. Until she's completely circumnavigating the laws, that is.

She doesn't monologue, but she isn't particularly quiet about her opinions either. She always feels like she must explain herself and get the last word in too if that is possible.

Thea can be impulsive amidst her long-term plans. She has been playing the long game for a long time and knows how to be patient. But when she starts getting impulsive in ways she shouldn't, her husband reminds her of their ultimate goals.

Thea is generally an open book. She doesn't really feel like she has secrets. She may omit information if she deems it unnecessary to the conversation, but that is more of a power move than a "let's keep secrets" move.

She would be really disappointed to find out that someone lied to her. She would ask why they lied and, depending on the reason, may forgive them, or may decide to never trust them again. Which means a loss of perks.

Thea considers herself an optimist. She plays the long game and accepts that there will be minor and temporary setbacks.

Thea has great control over her emotions. She can be a complete ball of iron nerves and not show any emotion, including anger. It comes with being an elf, thousands of years old.

She's an extrovert, which means she just likes being out in the open and center stage sometimes. It's a factor in her plans, but not a huge one.

She'll celebrate holidays. She's not really a grump or a grinch. She likes parties and holidays usually come with parties.

Thea's likes animals! Not that she keeps pets because she is constantly on the move. But she will stop to pet cats, dogs, and the like.

She likes baths and also playing strategy games like chess with her husband or Royal Will (which is a RTS board game whose best comps are actually MTG and Warhammer.) She knows that taking care of her mental health is important!

She is 100% self-conscious about her scars and wears clothes to cover them up. Her entire midsection is a knot of scars due to an injury from the war 3000 years ago.

Given the injury from the war, Thea has a ton of GI issues. She literally cannot eat a large meal. She has to eat smaller meals more regularly. She also deals with chronic pain that her passive theramancy can only do so much about.

As a mage, she will generally use magic as a weapon. But if she must pick a physical weapon, she's very excellent in the mainhand shortsword and offhand dagger. Because she's quick and can be brutal.

She's killed. She's ordered people to be killed. It's all part of the plan.

Thea is afraid of dying. But not just dying, disappearing. She has been alive for thousands of years and before that, she's been reincarnating with memories intact. She doesn't want to stop existing. As of yet, she has not faced this fear.

She wants to make amends to an old friend, who is holding a grudge until the end of time if she must. Thea's friend has asked her to denounce Nidtrix before she even considers forgiveness.

After a while, Thea begins to doubt that the way the Nidtrins are going about doing things is actually what is best for the planet. She is ashamed that her "little sisters" have missed the point of the assignment. She does not change her ways however.

She really does believe that she is working for the greater good and that if they can just *get* Nidtrix to the plane, all will be well.

Unrelated to her goals and everything else, Thea plays piano.

I've legit done my best to make Thea and Cael both as likeable as possible. And if not likeable, than at least understandable. They have reasons for their actions.

I love that she's not wholly evil. She has layers. She has regrets. She really thinks she is doing what is right.

Look.

I KNOW very well how dangerous theramal pools/hot springs are. My dad was a geologist, i almost lost my foot in one, i saw Dante’s peak.

That shit at Yellowstone still called to my animal brain.

That just looks like it would melt away all my tense muscles figuratively not literally.

I understand.

Any conspiracy theory about people going missing in National Parks is automatically silly to me. Like "Why are National Parks such a hotbed of disappearances???" because they're full of idiots. You've got thousands of people who've never pissed outdoors in their life wandering around the woods/desert/mountain with zero experience and zero gear and zero understanding that this place can kill them. You don't see as many disappearances in wild areas because people don't go to them unless they have some background knowledge. Whereas you get tour buses full of old folks and suburban families shuttling people into National Parks 365 days a year. If you took the same amount of buffoons and dropped them in the actual wilderness the disappearances would be significantly higher than at the parks. Use your brain.

I would imagine that any outbreak would be less bad in areas where there were common theramancers. I also know that diseases work a bit differently when there are people with the equivalent of healing factors.

So, for example, a strain of the flu mutated so that it only affects theramancers. It makes theramancy stop completely and is 70% fatal because it can only be treated with alchemy. There is now a vaccine with boosters every five years but that's a recent development.

[askazaleaandpuppeteer]

As a fellow Demon, Let me explain:

Theramism isn't just an infinite psych ward, when the demon is fully healed, they are killed and reincarnated as someone else without memory or their previous powers, a few months ago I was actually there myself! But I managed to make a deal with some of them to let me stay here on a "Good Behaviour" program that they're working on

(That is probably the smartest thing you'll hear from her mouth - ooc)

i want bill cipher gone why did the axolotl have favoritism. he tried to take over an entire dimension. why did the axolotl just think “therapy will fix him!”
