Valeria, Mistress of All Evil

Valeria was ripe and full-bodied, but her astral form is idealized, a perfect feminine form albeit green as the envy that dominates her mentality.

Her body is sealed in temporal stasis within a crystal coffin.

Valeria resembles the ideal beauty of her lifetime, a stern and graceful face with a strong nose and jaw, high cheekbones, and heart-shaped face. If any statuary of her survived, it is doubtful she would be recognized as her true face is square and blocky with rather sharp features.

Her envy and lusts have rendered her green, and she has a halo of emerald flames when she applies her powers.

She will not exceed 20th level in any event. Assume equipment(Su) Valeria is naturally incorporeal, taking up to 10 items with her. These item slots should be filled, with whatever equipment the campaign in hand requires her to carry. She can assume corporeal form once a day, for one minute. Assume likeness(Su) Valeria may take any Small, Medium, or Large form she desires, giving her a +10 circumstance bonus on any Disguise checks she makes. Darkvision(Ex) Valeria can see up to 60 feet in standard, non magical darkness. Incorporeal Touch(Ex) Valeria’s touch inflicts 3d6 damage on corporeal creatures. She may do this three times a day if corporeal, but unlimited times if incorporeal. Psionics(Su) Valeria has 128 power points, and may manifest the following powers at 11th level ability: Breath of the Black Dragon, Cloud Mind, Control Object, Conceal Thoughts, Death Urge, Dimension Door (psionic), Dispel Psionics, Energy Ball, Energy Cone, Energy Current, Energy Missile, Far Hand, Fiery Discorporation, Id Insinuation, Incarnate, Inertial Armor, Mental Disruption, Psychic Crush, Telekinetic Force, Telekinetic Maneuver, Telekinetic Thrust, and Telempathic Projection. Telekinetic Force(Su) Valeria may use telekinetic force as a standard action without invoking an attack of opportunity. If corporeal, she may do this three times a day, but no limit applies while incorporeal. Uncarnate armor Valeria’s bonuses from armor and other devices apply while she is incorporeal, but she receives no deflection bonus based on Charisma as other incorporeal creatures do. Uncarnate Bridge(Su) Once per day as a standard action, she can seamlessly enter any living creature with an Intelligence score and pass to another living creature with an Intelligence score that is within line of sight of the first creature. Valeria must be in a space adjacent to the entry creature before transporting, and she appears in a space adjacent to the destination creature after transporting. The entry and destination creatures need not be familiar to her. She cannot use herself as the entry or destination creature. Neither creature need be a willing participant. When exiting the destination creature, Valeria chooses an adjacent square in which to appear. Entering and leaving a creature is painless, unless Valeria wishes otherwise (see below). In most cases, though, the destination creature finds being the endpoint of a mental bridge surprising and quite unsettling. If she desires, Valeria can destructively exit the destination creature. If the creature fails a Will save(DC 19), the exiting Valeria tunes her mental form to destructively interfere with the target’s mind. She bursts forth explosively from the creature’s body, dealing it 10d6 points of damage. Uncarnate (Ex) Valeria’s natural state is incorporeal, though she may become material for up to one minute, once a day, but is naturally insubstantial and untethered to the physical world.

Messalina was the daughter of Domitia Lepida the Younger and her first cousin Marcus Valerius Messalla Barbatus.Her mother was the youngest child of the consul Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus and Antonia Major. Her mother's brother, Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, had been the first husband of the future Empress Agrippina the Younger and the biological father of the last Ivlian emperor, making him Valeria's first cousin despite a seventeen-year age difference. Messalina's grandmothers Claudia Marcella and Antonia Major were half sisters. Claudia Marcella, Messalina's paternal grandmother, was the daughter of Octavian's sister Octavia the Younger by her marriage to Gaius Claudius Marcellus Minor. Antonia Major, Messalina's maternal grandmother, was the elder daughter of Octavia by her marriage to Mark Antony, and was Klavdiv's maternal aunt. There was, therefore, a large amount of inbreeding in the family.   Little is known about Valeria's life prior to her marriage to Klavidivs, her first cousin once removed, who was perhaps 30 years her senior. Two children were born as a result of their union: a daughter Claudia Octavia, a future empress, stepsister and first wife to the last of the Ivlians; and a son, Britannicus. When the Dread Emperor Gaius was murdered, the Praetorian Guard proclaimed Klavdivs the new emperor and Valeria became empress. With her accession to power, Valeria enters history with a reputation as ruthless, predatory and sexually insatiable. Her husband is represented as easily led by her and unconscious of her many adulteries. When he went away to stabilize the Tin Isles, he was informed when he returned that Valeria had gone so far as to marry her latest lover, Senator Gaius Silius. While many would have ordered her death, the Emperor offered her another chance. Seeing that as weakness, one of his head officers went behind the Emperor's back and ordered Valeria's death. Upon hearing the news, the Emperor did not react and simply asked for another chalice of wine. The Senate then ordered a damnatio memoriae so that Valeria's name would be removed from all public and private places and all statues of her would be taken down. Valeria had cannily prepared a contingency to cast her into temporal stasis in the event of her death to preserve herself for reunification, but her remains were moved to an estate she'd long coveted in Terraconensis and forgotten due to the damnatio memoriae. She somehow was able to actually project herself from temporal stasis, and in this state came to dominate the dwendi tribes and mobilize them to drive the jaded wealthy Imperials from her lands.

Valeria is proud of her womanhood and always assumes female form.

When she had a body, she was known for her carnal rapacity, requiring an army of sex slaves adequate to satisfy the legions. She had no preferences so far as gender or species.

Privately educated by the best instructors an ally and cadet branch of the Imperial family could afford.

She turned the gardens of Tucullus in the Eternal City into a private seraglio and controlled the Empire through harem politics for seven years prior to her execution.

Valeria dominated the Empire through sex and blackmail. After her execution, she united the dwendi and seized Terraconensis for herself. She has met every invader successfully and fed them all to her minions.

She underestimated the loyalty of the legions to her husband, and continues to underestimate any opposition.

Valeria is very cunning. She understands lust and appetite like no other, and uses these reins to drive any she desires.

Valeria is a jaded empress, seeking to amuse herself throughout the endless centuries. Her body is of little interest to her, frozen in an estate overrun with toxic plants and thorn vines. Her own power and amusement are all that matters to her now.

Luxuriating in villainy. There are times she wearies of the crude dwendi, but she rarely seeks others out save to terrorize them from Terraconensis.

Although adept at etiquette and manners, she demands treatment as empress and is cunning but very short tempered.

Valeria loves all the pomp and pageantry of the Imperial court and adores the sight of young naked bodies. She is hyper-conscious of her due as Empress despite not holding that title anymore.

Cunning, patient, and utterly ruthless

Quick to anger, very poor temper, prone to full attack when irked.

Irrelevant. She always appears immaculate and sardonically resplendent, but she is an astral projection.

She controls the dwendi as a goddess and is generally considered a fairy queen.

Valeria dominates the scene just by being there. Her manners are impeccable, even while decreeing death and torture.

She behaves as an empress to her toenails

Speaks with the certainty of death on all matters, but takes a cajoling, teasing tone when describing how she expects affairs to play out.

Irrelevant. The dwendi obey her commands willingly and cover their own costs while she is an astral body.
