appearance

Seti's appearance is quite human like, although constantly changing slightly depending on which form she takes. Serene Seti Appears as a tall and slender woman, dressed in ancient clothing, resembling a long dress. Its colors are warm, bracing, most often taking on shades of red and brown. The spirit's skin appearing white and smooth as silk, although not pale. The spirits black hair is gathered into two sets of braids that curl backwards, circling in with themselves. Seti's eyes are golden, with catlike pupils of saphire blue. Wearing simple sandals, she'd seem like a human having stepped out of a fairy tails many years in the past. There are certain tells that she is a spirit, aside from her eyes being   rather odd for a human. Upon the clothes of her back, (or her skin, if she's not wearing anything.) Seti has what appears to be a massive scale. One of the scales is engraved with the sign for Chaos, while the other is engraved with the sign for Serenity. This scale shifts depending on Seti's state, and one can clearly tell when her balance is being shifted. Wielding a staff with the symbol of the sun on its top, it is obvious that she in this state brings light. There's most often a smile on her  face, and a glint in her eyes.

When Seti is in her chaotic form, the spirits skin is pale as snow, and her eyes entirely black without a pupil. The spirits lips have gone blue, and behind them she has a set of sharp teeth, akin to sharks. The garments which she wear have turned mostly blue and white, making the spirit appear almost as if frozen. The spirits nails have grown long and sharp, like claws, and the goverend hair has lost its glint, making her look almost like a walking disaster waiting to happen. When angered, her eyes gain a red glow, signifying her complete state of chaos. The staff's form has changed to signify that of a half moon, meaning Seti comes with darkness. The spirit in her chaos state looks devious and sly, a manipulative smile apparent on her lips.

personality

Seti has two states of personality. One for when she is serene, and one for one she is chaotic. During her serenity, Seti is calm, patient, tolerant and forgiving. A gentle spirit that will assist in leading the humans down the right paths, assisting them in reaching closer to enlightenment. Seen occasionally over the course of millenia, Seti has been a soothing factor to end conflict before it begins. Serene Seti respects all kinds of life, and believes that a balance can be found between all things. As such, she often seeks to be the mediator through conflict, using her unique pressence to dull the blades on battlefields. Otherwise, Seti prefers to remain quiet, listening to the woes of the world, and doing hers to maintain the peace. Travellers who come into her pressence are welcomed with open arms. Often, Seti will be meditating calmly, enjoying silent tones of music. Although she is quite unknown and moostly forgotten, her pressence has been felt through the ages.

Chaos Seti is another beast entirely. In this state, she moves around constantly, yelling and screaming, swearing and being disrespectful towards everyone when angered. Otherwise, Seti is still a subtle influence. Whispering lies, creating gossip, manipulating those faint of heart into doing unspeakable things, Seti spreads shadows from the shadow. Following noones agenda, Seti is the incarnate of true chaos, and she will often be found doing what she thinks is fun. Turning on friends or allies, joining up with whoever she pleases and then abandonning them, Seti is a whirlwind that cannot be controlled. Spreading additional chaos, chaos Seti is often seen dragging other spirits into the spiral. Destroying their homes, defiling their shrines. As much as serene Seti is valued and respected, as much is chaos Seti hated and detested. In the very same area that her serene statue is said to bring fortune, there are all sorts of super-stitions in regards to what can bring bad luck when visiting the shrine.

history

Seti wasn't given birth to, as much as she was created during an unsettling event in the spirit world. Raava and Vaatu, the two defining characters of the worlds balance, were ripped apart in their eternal struggle for dominance. It was this event that created gave birth to a new kind of balance within the world. A balance, that Seti inadvertedly came to stand for, without being able to interject.

During Seti's time as a young spirit, she had no control or  understanding of what went on. As such, when the darkness in the world was growing, so did the scales upon her back shift. Ravaging through the spirit world, she came to understand a whole lot about her existence. Seti wasn't a player within this game, as much as she was a symbol of the winning side. The spirit had no real powers or traits of her own, instead she was defined by the ever growing war between man and spirit leading up to the harmonic convergence. In the wars between man and spirit, Seti has killed countless, and rallied even more spirits to the cause.

It was during the harmonic convergence that Seti finally managed to find some peace once again, as Vaatu's influence in the world diminished to almost non existance. While other spirits were being banished to the spirit world, and the portals between the two worlds closed, Seti took on a mortal form to repair the damage she had caused the humans, giving them hope that their fates could change. Embodying change of fortune, she was going to ensure that the world would continue evolving, even with the spirit of light and dark seperated. In quiet times, she wandered the human world, bringing both peace and chaos, letting the humans carve their own paths. Instead of gaining abilities and skills through the millenia, what Seti gained was an immense wisdom and knowledge. The role she had to play would be changing with the times, and instead of fighting it, she'd have to embrace it. When it all came down to it, she was indifferent to the fate of the world, and of the individuals who lives within it. All that concerned her, was that things would continue to flow forwards. As long as humans had the chance to positively or negatively affect their world, she would be content in just watching it happen. Seti wouldn't be a positive force on the world, and she wouldn't be a negative one, but she would ensure that both were available. Seti would simply become the flow that others had created, and let the humans dictate how she would be behaving throughout the ages.

Thousands upon thousands of years passed, with things remaining in constant change. The scales upon Seti's back had shifted multiple times, although never reaching the extremity of pure balance, nor pure chaos. The wars sin the human worlds did affect her states, but nothing wass directly influencing her. For the most part, Seti was neither chaotic nor serene, but something inbetween. 

abilities

Special Abilities

• Ebb and flow: Seti is capable of influencing the will of the worlds flow onto another person in a very mild degree. In the serene state, it simply disallows the one touched from using advanced bending abilities, occasionally stopping the person from activating their bending on will. In the chaotic form, it simply disallows the victim full control of their bending. The more powerful the bending move is, the higher the risk of loss of control. (Stones shattering, water turning into ice unintentionally, etc) - Both effects are only temporary, lasting a maximum of five minutes.
• Feel the Flow: Is Seti's secondary ability. While in the serene state, she will slowly cleanse a living being of mild impurities, healing wounds and even lessening scars, moving an individual towards a natural calm state. A state of good fortune, so to speak. In the chaotic state, prolonged exposure to Seti functions like poison, bringing upon the victim misfortune. Its only going to be a mild fever, an upset stomach, or even a regular cold. This ability takes longer to settle and requires being close and exposed to Seti for at least three turns. The effects are permanent, in that you'd have to combat your fever to get rid of it - or wound yourself, to open the closed wounds. Seti has no control over who her pressence effects.

• Consequenses of death: Seti is the embodyment of flow within the human world, and the representation of change of fortune. Without her, fortune would be unable to change. Those who are misfortunate, would never have reprieve. Those who are fortunate, would never face bad luck. Since taking hostile action against her will push her deeper into a chaotic state, it is certain that her killer would be cursed with the darkest of misfortune.
