The Nature of Djinns

Home in the elemental plane
In the continent of Davamad within the elemental plane, many have Genasi and Djinn tribes follow a Monarchical structure. Each tribe consists of elementals from a specific element (tribes of fire, water, etc.) with some interaction between the two. They are as old as time itself, having first manifested when the respective element came to be.These inhabitants can be found anywhere, even in Faerun, but often do not concern themselves with the issues of mortal men. Unless they wish to be seen, they remain hidden.Unfortunately, due to their nature, they can often be trapped or bound to a relic, such as a ring, necklace, or oil lamp. When bound, much like a genie, can perform 'wishes' for those who own their relic.

Background

Ifritah's original home, before being brought to Faerun, was in the Elemental Planes. Specifically, she lived on the continent of Davamand, in the Imperial City of Qamsar. She was the last child of the royal family, and was set to inherit the throne.During Ifritah's early childhood, there was a lot of civil unrest in the Imperial City, primarily due to outside political interference. Their neighbouring continent, Merbotia, wished to extract and use the natural resources of Davamand. In hopes of achieving that, Merbotia helped create civil unrest and eventually led a revolution against the royal family. Once the royal family was disposed of, the Merbotian officials elected their own Senators to control the country.After the revolution, due to Ifritah being the inheritor of the throne, she was taken in by a slaver named Ertugrul, alongside her caretaker and older sister Azem. Initially, the pair were to be separated, with Azem being sold to the highest bidder, and Ifritah sent to the Merbotian capital as collateral. Azem, before being sent away, took her own life. This moment was a catalyst for Ifritah, a moment where she realized she had to fight back -- but before she could, she met the fate of many djinn in the Forgotten Realms.Ifritah's power and self were sealed in an iron ring, where she would be summoned to grant "wishes" for whichever master wore the relic, and sometimes more devious desires. Centuries past, doing whatever bidding her master wished for at the time. Eventually, through inheritance, gifts, and sometimes being a forgotten relic, Ifritah finds herself in the service of the Grand Caliph of Zakhara, specifically in the Harem.She sees an opportunity -- she was raised in royalty and knew how to manipulate political pieces to her advantage. Using her skills, she managed to find her relic and escape to Faerun.Living in Faerun, she sold tonics and other alchemical concoctions. Using her ability to grant wishes and see into the future, she amasses enough money to create a safe haven for those in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate.

Rules

.ONE. I only RP with people 21+ and with characters that are 21+.THREE. There are darker themes for this character. Stuff you will find discussed or possibly mentioned in RP are: death, violence, abuse..FIVE. Ships are not my priority, however Ifritah prefers the company of women. She has had male partners before, but due to her past trauma, she is very standoffish towards men..TWO. That being said, Ifritah is a very prickly character, therefore IC =/= OOC.FIVE. As you can see Ifritah is not lore-compliant, nor are any of my ocs strictly lore-compliant. If this is something you don't like, then consider not approaching for RP.
