Deja Vu

"Memories are like a brick wall, they are a reminder of what the greatest cities once were. But parts can be damaged, lost or replaced. I cannot let those bricks erode into dust."

- Deja Vu

"Hiissssssss...."

- Nostalgia

Deja Vu is a woman who most people seem to recognize but don't know why. She is a master of memories and specializes in magic's that effect the mind. She travels the world in search of people who wish to forget, or change someone else's memories. She is always accompanied by her pet snake Nostalgia.

Appearance
Deja Vu looks like a regular 60 year old woman, hardly recognizable in a street unless your looking for her. She has short grey hair which is often tied back with a ribbon or chopsticks. Her skin is very pale and she usually wears a set of old loose robes. Her eyes have no pupils and her face bares distinct red markings that seem to change every few years. She is often accompanied by her pet snake Nostalgia, who is usually hidden from view but likely on her person. Nostalgia has a white snakeskin hide that has distinctive red markings all over. It is roughly 5ft long and bears red reptilian eyes.

People often forget the finer details of Deja Vu's appearance, it fact most people can barely remember what she looks like at all.

Personality
Deja Vu comes across as a caring individual who always has time to listen, no matter how long the story. She is also willing to help people, provided they pay the price. Deja Vu only cares about 2 things, recording history and making sure it carries on. She may actively seek out individuals and try to manipulate their lives so that they'll seek her out for help. In exchange for her services she asks that she can peer through your memories and copy the ones equal to the worth of the job. She stores these memories in orbs which she keeps at her home. Those wanting to relive their memories can travel there where Deja Vu has a device that can project the memories of the orbs as a 3D projection, she could also be persuaded to sell the device should someone offer enough memories.

Her goal is to have the complete history of Gielinor recorded in the form of memories, her collection of orbs is massive and stretches far underground. It contains the memories of numerous species from numerous locations from numerous times. As well as helping people deal with their past, she can also help them look into their future. She claims that through the examining the past, you gain the knowledge to know how future events turn out. Those who attempt to assault or kill her often find themselves in the middle of nowhere suffering from severe amnesia, whilst those who attempt to steal memories from her, often find themselves disappearing from history all together.

History
Deja Vu's history is almost unknown, she boasts no family or place of origin and will rarely discuss herself. However should someone dig deep enough they'd be able to find something. Unfortunately for her she can only remove peoples memories, not what they write down. Therefore there are many pieces of literature that bear mention to her, one as early as the 3rd age. One serious researcher did manage to find enough information to provide an accurate history of the woman.

"This is the Bio of the entity known as Deja Vu, due to lack of evidence a lot of this is conjecture but I believe this to be the most accurate of any Bio's. I first met Deja Vu in a bar in the seedy side of Varrock, she was determined to avoid speaking about herself claiming 'The author of a story doesn't talk about themselves in the middle of a story", never the less the subject moved onto history. She knew little of the first age and her most affluent area of time was the late 2nd age, this leads to the conclusion that she was likely born around that time. Her storys tended to revolve around the ancient gods empire and life in the capital. I am unsure where this capital lies, but should this city be found then perhaps it can shed some light on to her story." Report on the Entity known as Deja Vu (Also known as the RED V paper.)

"Its been some time since I updated this report but that is because I have so little information to go on. I'll attempt to describe Deja Vu as best as I can. She seems to be interested in memories, particularly those of humans. Memories can be used as a currency with her, I've heard tales a prince once asked her to make his father forget he had an older brother, then the next day he found himself first in line to the throne. The name of the prince and King change depending on which tavern your in when you hear it. But one part is always the same, people in the castle started to suffer from short term memory loss for almost 5 years, apparently this was Deja Vu collecting on what she was owed. I was told that if I wished myself to want to forget something with all my heart, then I would find her. That's how I met her the first time, I have no recollection of what it was I wanted to forget, perhaps it best I didn't learn."

RED V paper Vol 2 - Anonymous

"Success! The digsite project just east of Varrock has stumbled upon the remains of a lost empire. There might be something there that can tell us about her, I hope by next time I write this I will have the information I need. Anyway I'll talk about what she looks like. She looks like a completely ordinary old hag, you wouldn't look twice at her if you passed her in the street. Its only when you speak to her face to face you realize she's not that normal looking. She appears to have no pupils but her vision is fine, she also bears distinctive red markings along her face. They appeared to resemble some kind of wound with a sword but they look like no scar I've seen. She also carries a Snake with her, this snake appears to live inside her robes, however its unlike any snake I've ever met, its eyes are bright red, and its skin is white with red markings. I am hoping to publish the next volume In the following year. Saradomin guide me.
