Background and Origin

Not much is known about Shakti from when she was human. It is said that around 3412BC a small tribe located in what is now known as Ghana, Africa worshiped Babalú-Ayé the God of Illness, Disease and Healing. Shakti was a young priestess within her tribe. She trained in shamanism and voodoo magic. Her talents grew quickly and she became so powerful with magic that she caught the attention of Babalú-Ayé. He took a liking to her and she became his lover. He trained her to use her gifts to sway the fabric of life itself. He eventually granted her the gift of eternal life, which she became the envy of many other gods and humans alike. To save her from destruction he transformed Shakti into pure Spirit energy so that she may exist in the Spirit Realm and be out of the reach of those that would harm her out of jealousy. Locked in the Spirit Realm, Shakti had many centuries to perfect and craft her art. She became angry with Babalú-Ayé and took his essence into herself making her a being that rivaled the Gods themselves. She became the embodiment of life. Gifted with the ability to control life, death, illness, health, and disease she became revered by all tribes from the region of Africa where she spent her human years. Legend says that Egypt grew to power, overshadowing the old Gods and with no one to believe in them, they faded from existence. Shakti was left alone in the Spirit Realm for thousands of years.

In 1995 an archaeologist named Thomas White dug up the ceremonial knife that was used in many rituals performed by Shakti. It was also the knife she used when binding the essence of Babalú-Ayé to her own. Thomas tookt he knife to have the carvings translated. Once completed the archaeologist spoke the words written on the knife. "Ewige Lewe," he spoke aloud. The knife began to glow a slight purple color. A haze set into the room and out of the darkness crawled Shakti. A being seemingly made of shadows. She stood up, her head darting around the room like a cat watching a fly. She spotted her knife and her eyes began to glow the same shade of purple. White says a solemn, beautiful voice, almost like a whisper called out to him and told him not to fear her. He then handed her the knife. She took it and vanished into the shadow from where she came. The haze in the room cleared and she was gone. The three archaeologists in the room that day are still unsure of what happened. They say it felt almost like a dream.

Over the last ten years, Shakti has been pretty scarce, showing up to help the innocent and the sick at random. She has taken the last few years to learn about Earth's history since her imprisonment almost 5000 years ago.

She has a cat-like persona matching the lion hide on her back. She doesn't walk upright but crouches and runs like a large cat, almost predator-like.

General Perception

Shakti doesn't have spoken word. She communicates through telepathy. She is a loner and prefers it that way, although she does not enforce this. She can be intimidating when meeting people as she sees life force and not physical forms. This is how she knows a person intent. Overall she is very calm and non-confrontational.
