Name: Ishtar Title/ Aliases: Lady of Nineveh, courtesan of the gods Motto: sex, dugs and rock'n'roll HP/Att/Def: mid/low/high Occupation: goddess of prostitution. Madam. Businesswoman (in matters relating to the previous item in this list) Appearance: Olive skin, green eyes, brown hair Age: Never ask a lady her age, darling. Personality: hedonistic, self serving but still kind hearted. Special skills: cocktail waitressing, sex, blending intoxicants into new and exciting forms. Residences: Turkey, Nevadah, Amsterdam, London Relationships: Single (with many friends with benefits). She's always looking for Mr Right-Now (or Ms Right-Now) but not for anything serious. She has commitment issues because her first husband didn't mourn her when she went into the underworld, so when she got out she let demons drag him into hell. And then there was Gilgamesh (who she wanted to marry) he said no, then killed her bull. No really.
Ishtar can: - Procure, mix, blend and create (by hand and using her pet international drugs consortium) almost any drug/medical preparation known to man or god. - Ingest, imbibe or inhale vast quantities of noxious substances (alcohol, tobacco, drugs, poison) feeling all the short and mid term effects (highs, sleepiness, hyperactivity, paranoia, hangovers, slight feelings of withdrawal) without any permanent harm to her body. - recover relatively quickly (compared with a human) from physical injury. - feel and identify supernatural activity. She tends to be able to identify areas of power, and religious origins rather than individual identities and powers. - sense other supernatural beings as distinct from mortals. She can identify power levels but does not divide them into gods/angels/demons/monsters. - control people and supernatural beings/ implant suggestions (depending on their power levels) through a combination of sex appeal and pheremones - Wander happily in and out of the realms of most ancient middle-eastern religions - speak Akkadian, Sumerian, Babylonian, Hittite, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew and enough in most modern European languages to be able to order a drink. - exist perfectly happily in the mortal world. She has a job, a secretary, official offices and bank accounts and pays her taxes (reluctantly). - win awards for her cocktails - possibly live forever (as far as she knows - she went to the underworld once, but came back just fine)
Ishtar can not: - shapechange - feel/hear prayers (unless a prostitute is doing the praying) - heal others or herself - go without food, drink and sleep - go without using the toilet - fly, lift very heavy objects, fight any better than a half-decent mortal (she has no "superpowers" at all beyond smelling nice) - summon hellfire - bless objects - alter objects - summon objects - create objects out of thin air - raise the dead - wish people away - read minds - see in the dark - set wards - see auras - enter or communicate with realms of non ancient middle-eastern religions (including Heaven and Hell) unless invited - know occult languages - write the heavenly language - have the power of Creation - create energy shields - possess other beings - contract STIs
Additionally Ishtar can: - roll hallucenogenic cigarettes - tie cherry stalks in a knot with her tongue - Chain smoke without getting cigarette-breath
