Here will be important individuals within the society of ISMA. These may be politically powerful, particularly talented, or simply famous within the culture. These people are titled and have spaces within the lore. Attempting to occupy the same space in the lore as any of these is an immediate disqualifier for character sheet approval, however you may use them as sort of stepping stones. Existing in close association with them, being their students, friends or even enemies. I hope these character sheets are informative and helpful for your characters.

Name: Aoife Kanja
Gender: Female (original gender forgotten)
Age: 592
Appearance: Aoife is a small woman, her current body was weak before she took it over and would have died without her intervention. She is thin and short, apparently frail but there is a great vitality in her eyes. Her hair is thick, red and curly, going down to the small of her back.

Career:
Magic: Psiionics 4, Healing 6, Self enhancing 6, Conjuration 1.
Max Tier received: Tier 7 (immortal)
Current Occupation: Teacher

History:
Aoife was born 592 years ago in the spring of the year 7453, she no longer remembers the exact day as when she would take on a new body, she would pretend to be them. Much of her original history has been lost to the ages but it is known that this is currently her seventh body. Additionally it is known that the first one she stole was an accident, she was dying and simply reaching out for help, seeking to find the comfort of a person in her dying moments.

She found herself in the other person's body and was distraught at the murder she had committed. She became depressed and locked herself away for a time, but eventually emerged and lived life as normal, living the life of the person that she stole. Her new body began to wear down, so she hardened her resolve and instead sought out someone to take this time.

She found a young and promising psychic such as she once was and stole their potential for herself. She lived their life and gathered their wealth that should have been theirs and finally moved on once again when her new body was once again wearing down.

She found herself starting over for the third time and disliked losing her accumulated wealth in order to hide her murders. She began to seek alternatives, learning to heal and finding her abilities to be lacking in that area. She sought out the first immortal, a man who taught those with potential to become like him and do good in the world. He turned her down due to her lack of talent.

She trained independently and came to him once again with a new body, asking him again to train her. He turned her down again, seeing no talent in her for the healing arts. She confessed her sins to him and begged and pleaded with him to teach her so that she need not kill again. He turned her down on moral grounds, not wanting to help a killer with immortality.

She was unable to keep her newest body alive and so moved on once again, and this softened his resolve a bit. He decided to take her in so that he could prevent her from killing more. With his teaching, she was able to make her body last for quite a bit, however it was not enough and she had to leave his training one more time to get her final body.

With her final body she had chosen a sickly psychic girl, Aoife, and she had done better. Aoife had suffered much in her short life, illness after illness, she was small as she had been unable to grow much due to the pain and issues racking her body. It was expensive to just keep her alive and Aoife the bodysnatcher offered Aoife the small girl a deal; the bodysnatcher would live with her and heal her and in exchange, they would share their body. The young girl accepted and Aoife snatched her last body. Eventually the young girl became one with the thief, but during the time that they were still together in the body, they finished their training with the immortal.

Aoife decided that he was giving a valuable service and decided to continue his teachings, additionally learning some minor enhancement abilities to make up for her own physical weakness. She then opened up a school where she taught as the first immortal taught, passing on his teachings as all of his other pupils did. In time she stopped her large classroom teaching and left it to her past students, moving on to teach individuals about anything they may be pleased to learn from her.

Personal:
Name: Adapa
Gender: Male
Age: 8045
Appearance: Adapa is large sumerian man, nearly six feet tall with dark hair and dark eyes. His age is visible in every aspect of his being despite his apparent youth.

Career:
Magic: Healing
Max Tier received: Tier 7 (immortal)
Current Occupation: Teacher

History:
Adapa was born three nights after the first full moon preceding the spring equinox of what is now known as year 0. He existed long before the modern calendar and so he refuses to live by the calendar of ISMA. He is willing to play ball with ISMA, the money that goes as a tribute to him goes a long way to helping that. He however existed before ISMA and gained immortality a scant 16 years into ISMA's existence. He had been a long lived man even before then, his healing abilities keeping him alive until he was able to learn to reverse his own aging. What is now known as the year 345 is when he gained immortality, just before his birthday. His way of speech is anachronistic but he has had 8000 years to hone his craft and he is always willing to refine his techniques. As such he has been able to maintain his title as the best healer, despite the "Upstarts" of ISMA still existing far beyond his reckoning.

1000 years into his life, he decided that he needed to impart his gift of immortality, there needed to be others like him who could spread the gift of healing. And so he took on his first apprentice. Six have failed him thus far but he feels that his teachings are getting better, no one has failed in 1000 years and so there are 53 immortals that he has spawned himself. He is currently training the 54th, though he does have his favorites amongst them. The first he trained, and Aoife are definitely what he considers his biggest success.

Having been around since before the beginning, all healing methods are descended from his own and he and his 53 are well sought out for teachers of healing. He long ago founded a full healing school where there is no tuition and the teachers salaries are simply paid by the Council of Immortals. He has moved into a cave, no country has a hold upon him though they may crave it and the mountain is his, no one dares to claim he cannot keep it.
 
Personal:
Name: Inti "The Sun God" Nina
Gender: Male
Age: 439
Appearance: Inti has chosen a form for himself befitting his name. He is a large bronzed man, nine feet in height with black hair that cascades down his back. He has a toned and muscular physique, one that shows that he is in shape but isn't overbearing.

Career:
Magic: Thaumaturgy, Elemental, Healing, Enhancement, Enchanting
Max Tier received: Tier 8 (godhood)
Current Occupation: Ferryman

History: Inti was born in the year 7606 on the Summer Solstice and held a typically ordinary childhood for the times. The glittering skyscrapers had begun to be built and he was witness to them rising from the ground and extending into the skies. The city of Maracaibo was his home for the entirety of his childhood. The tropical city was home to constant thunderstorms which he would watch in awe. This led him to be interested in the systems that caused this, even before he began his magical training to become a thaumaturgist. With his career path set, he began his studying.

At age 37 he attained godhood, but he wanted more. He learned elemental fire and air so that he could control the elements that made the sun what it was. He learned to heal while looking for a greater purpose and applied his training to himself so that he could become more powerful and more the image of a god that ISMA had imposed upon him when he simply wanted to learn more about the universe.

Unsatisfied with what Gi had to offer, he decided what his purpose would be. He learned how to do enchantment and became a master enchanter. At age 100 he was a tier four enchanter and created a boat with which he could leave the planet. He took off and explored the stars. Nearly 100 years later he returned, having found a place which he appreciated as his home. It was a planet that was half tropical and half arctic. It was a home where the days on half the planet were all the same length, and on the other half of the planet there was at least one night with endless sun. The sky was graced by two suns that rotated around each other in perpetual harmony. To him it was a paradise, and only four light years away.

He invited people to his new home, not many took up his offer, even if it was a paradise it was a four year journey. The journey was also one with little chance of returning as he could only pick up those who wished to come home every eight years. However, his boat could only fit five people other than him anyways. He was able to fill his boat with the promise that he would be picking up more in eight years. He left behind blueprints for others to construct a boat like his, but of greater size, so that he could transport more next time around.

He returned to Gi to find his new boat nearly completed and agreed to wait until it was finished so that he could transport a greater number. Two years passed and the boat was finished, large enough to carry all of his followers with the only flaw being that his previous small boat had to be used as a tugboat. Exhausted at the end of his journey, he left behind his boat at his new home and only came back with the small one, unwilling to take more than five people per transit. He manages to just about fill his boat with every transit, but his returns have become somewhat of a celebration so he takes longer to leave than he used to, spending a year on each end before setting out once again. Currently he is on Gi.
