  Sirindra uses daggers and swords. As of right now, nothing noteworthy about them.
  
  Wields
  Moonhu, the Dragon Lord's Moonscale
  *A special curved Soul weapon that houses the soul, Moonhu, who is capable of manifesting himself and interacting with others.
  
• 
  Personality:
  Sirindra's personality isn't great, it could even be called "rotten". Since she grew up in Wravadar, her personality reflects that fact. Still, she's by no means as bad as many in Wravadar. She's tolerable, and enjoys things that are "fun". She enjoys wrecking shop and showing up others. Especially if they're cocky or arrogant -- she really enjoys crushing those type of people, and smashing through preconceived notions.
  
  With that being said, Sirindra isn't all that bad. She's got a rather simple personality. As long as you don't screw with her she won't with you. And if you help her, she's likely to help you.. a bit, so long as it isn't terribly risky to do so. That doesn't mean she's your friend or anything, but hey. She also doesn't much care for notions like "honor" or "valiancy". Any time she showcases those traits, its purely by accident, or your own confusion over her behavior.
  
  Character Goals:
  Get strong enough to kill all the bandits who have taken over her kingdom and free her relatives.
  
  Dislikes:
  The bandits who ousted her from her kingdom.
  3 continent guards
  Goody-two-shoes
  The more cordial and respectful people of the 3 continents
  
  History:
  Down in Wravadar where she's from, lies Castle Gloomhall, home of the Gloomring Royal Family. Or it was. A group of "bandits" attacked and took it over. They slaughtered the king, first prince, and took the queen hostage, imprisoning her in the deepest pit of the "kingdom". "Royalty?! Who died and made that reality?" Someone asked while slitting her father's throat. It was true.. "Royalty" in Wravadar seems like a ludicrous notion. Back then.. when Wravadar still flourished, was bountiful, and was atop the surface, there had been a royal family. One who was fair. One everyone adored. But that history is long and buried. It's not even clear if the current Gloomrings are descendants of that beautiful family. Though... they do have something that signifies they're royalty. The illustrious "Empyrean magic". Magic only royalty has. Empyrean magic is the reason the Gloomrings are even considered royalty in Wravadar at all. Ah, speaking of which.. Kingdom is in quotes because while the Gloomrings are royal.. it's hard to call Wravadar a kingdom at all. To call that hellscape where no one trusts one another a kingdom is nothing but a total joke.
  
  Zinniaphi's younger brother and sister were left behind as Zinniaphi fled, their current fate unknown. Zinniaphi hated fleeing and leaving them behind, and it's a regret that weighs on her heart, but it was a direct order from her father and mother. "Run, Zinnia! Save yourself! Stay alive!! Return when you can kill these bastards! That's an order!!"
  
  An order that pierced through her heart like an arrow. Even if it hadn't been, she still would've done exactly that. Those bastards deserved no less..! Although they're called 'bandits', they're more like inhabitants of Wravadar. Everyone tends to be a bit assholish down in the corrupted lands of the Jailed Realm. When you breathe in that miasma since the day you were born, your personality tends to warp a bit. It's hard to remain kind, or keep any dignity down there. To everyone else everyone else are just 'bandits' down in Wravadar.
  
  Anyway, it wasn't like the 'bandits' just let Zinniaphi go free! They pursued her like ravenous hounds who haven't had a meal in a month. She had to keep her distance from them all through the dead lands of Wravadar. Which was a harrowing ordeal. The Gloomrings have Empyrean magic, and they train daily knowing how cruel life can be. But nothing was like what she experienced those long months fleeing her would-be captors, there in those treacherous lands. It was training like any other, and Zinniaphi came out all the stronger for it.
  
  Still, she could only run for so long down there. Wravadar isn't endless. Eventually she reached the edge, running right up against the barrier between Wravadar and.. whatever else. Oblivion, perhaps. She would have to leave if she wanted to remain alive. She'd have to face even oblivion if it meant survival. And leave she did. Somehow Zinniaphi managed to escape Wravadar, breaking through the Dreadbreak, and finding herself in the world above. In the 3 continents.
  
  It was tough at first. She knew no one, and didn't speak the language. She had to resort to stealing to survive. Not that that was all that unusual for someone from Wravadar. Regardless, it pissed the "above people" off. Guards were called for the thief. And then when she eluded them -causing quite a scene and disturbance in the process- a bounty was placed on her head. Due to a particular unfortunate event that happened while she was being chased.
  
  Zinniaphi eventually learned how to use magic to transform and hide some of her features. Since then, she's taken on the identity Sirindra Halileil, a commoner from the small country Rougein. Where a lot of loner-rogue types seem to come from. The people from there keep to themselves, so people know they won't be able to get much information from individuals from that small country. A perfect identity for the hidden, criminal Dire person. Still, it didn't change her situation much, and she resorted to the same old ways. Her thieving ways have earned Sirindra a bounty. Small at first, but one that's continued to grow due to her ability to constantly elude authorities. Still, it's not quite as bad as other bounties so she's not necessarily a priority. And for Zinniaphi, it's hardly worth noting. It's nothing like the horrors of Wravadar, and those barbarians that pursued her below. Though it is funny, she technically has 2 bounties, though that "Terrible Dire Woman" hasn't been seen since.

• 
  "If there's anything extra, go ahead and describe it here."
  "Purple" - Me.
  
  Under the big goof hat is a pair of big bold purple eyes, as a pixie she has a smaller nose and ears compared to other races. Her ears are concealed by her short hair that falls just past her chin but is thick and floofy with black and purple shadings just like her attire. She doesn't like being looked at under the hat so she's very obscuring about it.
  
  
• 
  
  Magic Path
  3 Rings, about to obtain her fourth.
  Possesses and focuses on Manipulation and Teleportation schools. Has access to the Projection school, although at a low level.
  
  Her Mana is probably very high or at least her focused schools are very mana-efficient if she's to be using them a lot casually to help her move around or change size.
  
  Magic Skills
  
  • Size Shift - Lets Vivi swap sizes between her normal pixie size and the size of a more normal person. Shifting to a normal person places her around 4'4 to 5'1 depending on her choice at the current power.
  • Telekinetics - Vivi can use Manipulation magic to pick up, move things around and fling stuff using telekinetic powers. She can also generally interact with things magically rather than touching them.
  • Blink - Vivi can quickly teleport herself around short distances, although this is more costly to do so when she's larger albeit rather cheap and simple as a pixie. With a little more effort needed, she can bring objects or other people, but doing this with other people is so not worth the effort that she probably won't ever bother. Teleporting others is very tough and mana taxing.
  • Magic Port - Vivi can concentrate to teleport herself, things or people a longer distance to places she's well acquainted and aware about. Although this can be ridiculously taxing even on her own, moving an object or someone somewhere else might exhaust her from doing anything else. Teleporting others is very tough and mana taxing.
  • Personal Projection - Vivi, with her lower Projection school, can make little holograms of stuff in her hands. This is more rather for when she's thinking or trying to show something rather than having any significant use.
  Astral Path
  Crown Core
  1 Star
  Semi-Bright Soul Density
  
  She's only interested in Magic at all. She'd be willing to take a look at Astral, but otherwise her main focus is on progressing her Magic Path.
  
  
• 
  Not registered in the Guild since she hasn't been anywhere around it, been spending her life at the Spire and Cauldron in Meqir. She would be interested if it could put her in a place where she was more in control or had access to knowledge, like a librarian or even just a receptionist.
  
  
• 
  A book she writes stuff in, and an enchanted quill that she can erase the specially written ink with manipulation magic. The enchanted quill also doesn't run out of ink. The book is also a Medium.
  Nothing else really, but the book is very hard-cover so it could technically be used as a weapon.
  
  
• 
  Personality: Blunt, knowledgable and straightforward. She doesn't try to be either a nice or hateful person but is just rather on how someone takes her very simplistic attitude. She's much more interested in productivity rather than purposefully trying to show diverse expression. She can often be critical and sarcastic at times, and is usually flustered or embarrassed when she gets looked directly in the face (it's why she chooses to be very obscuring of her face). She'll usually try to deny any such emotions of embarrasment if she's ever put in a situation she would feel it.
  
  Character Goals: To simply grow more knowledgable and become more capable overall. Getting to some major position is a start. Her goal is pretty blunt and straightforward like herself.
  
  Dislikes: Disorganisation, annoying and egotistical people, destruction and damage, conflict, people looking at her face or messing with her (she's very small, don't treat her like some kind of doll. She is focusing on Manipulation magic, don't make her do the same to you no matter your size). Also, water. And birds and spiders and all the things that would prey on little prey.
  
  History: Vivi Finii comes from the continent of Meqir, living the majority of her life around the Aezunura Sultanate and finding her home in the Great Cauldron Spire next to the so-called 'Cradle of Magic'. Growing up with a community of magic-obsessed pixies who lived in the walls of the spire, her interests quickly grew to simply that of learning about magic. Life being smaller than everyone and everything else was not a very easy feat as proven by the loss of her original parents at a young age. Her mother was taken by a vulture and it was too late before anyone could do anything to stop it, and her father ended up suffocating in the Cauldron itself when he sought power to protect their now motherless daughter who was soon-to-be fatherless also. The pixies of the Spire walls were a tightly knit community and treated eachother like family, caring for eachother rather than socialising as much with the other inhabitants of the Spire and Cauldron, so it didn't take long for another pixie couple to decide to adopt the saddened pixie child.
  
  Apparently, the universe really did not want Vivi to have parents.
  
  It worked out for a little while, and Vivi was happy to have her own family again albeit it was rather strange since it wasn't the parents she grew up with. The same idea of care and love was there, but it was weird grasping it from someone else who she knew wasn't her real parents. The main reason it failed was because her new mother was sat upon and crushed under the weight of a normal man, and her father angrily went to confront said man. The man was drunk, and took the pixie for some kind of buzzing insect that was about to sting him, in which her second father met a swift end by a very fatal shoe-to-floor collision. After another two incidents of the next father being blown away in a sandstorm and the next mother falling into a pot of boiling water, surely next time would be fine. Well, there could have been a next time, but an incident involving a stray spell had hit part of the wall where the pixies made their home inside and made quick work of the next pair before any pixies were willing to attempt bringing her into their family. It left a pretty deep impression to constantly see the vulnerability of her peoples' size keep causing them such major trouble, so she figured that she would have to find a way to get around it. That, and other places and things weren't well designed for pixies in mind and her time at the Spire was starting to get annoying and inconvenient once she kept encountering said problems. There are a lot of pixies that live in the walls and the lost did not severely damage their numbers, but there was definitely a lot of questioning about the 'child whose parents keep dying'. Vivi with time grew more plain to the idea that she wouldn't have such family, and instead involved her time and self in her studies rather than becoming too deeply attached to anyone. After adopting this lifestyle for herself, things for the pixie community returned to a normal pace, and she was soon to be starting to be acknowledged among her magic pixie peers for having some good upcoming magical talent for being primarily self-taught. For the most part.
  
  "A cursed pixie? Don't be stupid, that story sounds so unbelievable" she overheard a man answer. He was reading something about dark magics and curses, talking to a pixie sat on his shoulder who was sharing interest in the same subject. The pixies understood full well about the 'Parentless Pixie' at this point that it none of them even chose to even suggest being a parent figure to her as a joke in case something bad were to fall upon them. It would appear they hadn't even noticed her to begin talking about her like some kind of mythical creature, she wasn't even pixie-sized. There were a few other people present reading, her face was concealed by her own book from them. She had took off her hat since it was slightly inconvenient to wear and had manipulated her own size to 5'. She could do better, but she wasn't trying to put in more effort than she needed when it worked well enough albeit the small odd girl walking around would sometimes make people raise questions. It was useful that people were starting to notice her when she was like this, and it made doing things like everyone else so much easier. Although, the back-and-forth conversation about her was starting to get on her nerves, placing down her book and putting her hat back on as she went to confront the two.
  
  At first, the man thought she was doing some terrible joke, but the other pixie just looked on in silence as they were able to recognise her identity changed to a less pixie-sized form. Things only got serious once he started joking that he would adopt her as his father, of which his pixie friend immediately stammered to get him to say otherwise. He chose to continue it as some joke, until he was silenced by witnessing her turn back to regular size as a pixie and use her own manipulation magic to float in front of him. "I must warn you, your friend is right. Any pixie who lives here would tell you the same thing" Vivi answered in her little high-pitched voice. He didn't know whether to take it seriously or if it was some sort of superstitious story, laughing it off and choosing to not believe in it. He didn't ever go back on his 'joke'.
  
  Two days later, the same stranger she didn't even know the name of or call a father ever was found dead. Cause of death: one bad slip at the top of some stairs. Now it wasn't even something just pixies chose to not talk about, it was a questionably horrific topic. Many took to fear and didn't even want her anywhere around the Spire, but it was necessary for her. It was her home and the only place she felt she somewhat fit, she wanted to further her own knowledge and progress as well as another thing.
  
  She had to break this 'curse'. She was a danger to everyone she knew and everyone she could ever meet. Some would revel in the idea that a statement about them was an unavoidable death to those whom would utter it, but to her it was a nightmare. She was already pushed from having parents and a family connection from her own birth, she didn't want to be isolated from everyone she would ever meet too. She didn't truly understand how far this went, would even people who claimed to just be a friend of hers at this point have their lives at stake? Vivi was already getting a bad name from something that wasn't even her fault. But, there was some hope. She was smart, she wanted to learn magic, she should hopefully have everything present to figure out what was wrong with her. Figuring out how to fix it would be a nightmare in itself.

  Profession:
  Magic Researcher, but does do research into any interesting or unnatural phenomena.
  

Is there anything special you'd like to add to the world?

If possible, secret Pixie city. Should (usually) only be accessible by a special teleportation spell unique to pixies that they learn through either instinctive senses and feeling that they know how to do it although not knowing what it is or complete accident. Where all the cool Pixies hang out and is their own little place with a Pixie monarchy and council and stuff. I think this could be her own story direction if so. Add a Pixie Queen so Vivi can prove herself and get a powerful pretty queen girlboss to mentor her.

Personality & History

Personality:
Gaizer has a very easy going personality. He doesn't hold grudges and tends to go through life at his own pace. Having no real talent at the things he wants to do doesn't bother him all that much. Pursuing a path of constant self improvement. Gaizer is always traveling in search of greater strength. He doesn't have a house or a place he could call home. The open road is where he always finds himself at the end of the day. He has no qualms about who he meets or fights with. Matters of good or evil don't really hold importance to him when he could focus on training. Gaizer can come off as irritatingly calm given that not much fazes him. He has a fondness for the simple things in life, such as good food or animals.

Character Goals:
Power

Dislikes:
.Needless Chatter
.Morality
.Not Training
.Squandered Potential
.Bad Food

History:
Gaizer's first memory was the sight of a burning building, the smell of smoke and the sound of screaming. A child with not a memory to his name. He was taken in by a Oltinian Swordswoman named Neve. Raised alongside other orphans. Gaizer was named after a distant star that always shone with a red color. Unlike many of his seemingly prodigious peers. There were obvious signs that Gaizer had no natural talent for the martial arts. He learned everything much slower than everyone else. Neve brought him to the 6 Ringed Magician, Theodore Myrius. Myrius tested Gaizer for any sign of having magical talent rather than martial. Unfortunately he had similar results to his swordsmanship, no talent. However Gaizer returned every day for lessons from the magus. Taking on two different paths despite having zero aptitude for either seemed ridiculous to everyone looking on from the outside. Gaizer didn't care, he was eager to soak up the knowledge from both mentors. The only one who never judged or worried about him was his pet crow, Midnight. He had taken the bird in after she had injured her wing. Swinging his sword at a novice level while his fellow orphans moved on to bigger and better things. Oltinia was a young nation but had earned the worlds attention due to their strong system of government and their famed Academy. Attempting to join the academy via its entrance exam. Gaizer washed out and failed to progress past his circumstances. His day didn't get any better when he found some unruly children had battered Midnight the crow past the point where she could feasibly be saved. Holding his precious friend as she barely found the energy to breathe. Gaizer killed her to spare her further pain, beginning him upon the Astral Path with his First Severing as he severed the only true bond he had from his life. Leaving Neve, Myrius and his foster siblings to pursue a life he could call his own. A wandering Gaizer worked small mercenary jobs while training his meager swordsmanship and magic.

He doesn't have anything special yet he will mainly switch between a simple sword or spear
As well as two arm guards

Personality: Rollo is a rather simple individual at heart. Calm and straightforward and can be a bit of a jokester if he is allowed to be. If you are friendly to him he is to you and if you are an enemy to him well you got one. But he tries to come off as an approachable person to people and make friends with them after all it helps to have connections. But he occasionally acts like a noble at certain times. The biggest thing about him he does not like

History: Rollo does not know a lot about his origins besides being found by a traveling knight who was a friend of the Tauriel house. Growing up he was raised by the guards of the house learning most life lessons and things from them. Until one particular day, Miss Tauriel an elf noble who worked under the FlowGrand family found him helping out around her house and took a shine to him. She made sure he didn't have to worry too much about things with the help of the guards. When he asked about the knight who dropped him off she told him that he was an old friend that came to check up on her from time to time.

At a young age, he started helping out wherever he could because of this he ended up getting to know the two children of the FlowGrand which Miss Tauriel visited often when she took him with her. An older girl Azrealyand a boy Tony the same age as him. After being friends with them for some time Azrealy asked him what he wants to be when he got older saying she would continue the family business and her brother didn't answer. He could only say that he wanted to be like the knight who brought him to Miss Tauiel he wanted to be like the traveling knight and that he had already started training to be that.



Character Goals: His goals are to bring enough recognition for him to get by hired so they won't have to worry about him or themselves. Go as far as possible in the Astral path. The final one but not a major one is to climb the guild ranks.

Dislikes: Being indebted to someone. Having to back down from direct challenges.Some Necromancers and the way they do things. Also, turtles he hates them and this is the number one way to get into a fight with him.

• 
  Combat
  Qi Calming - Basic technique of the Heart Core. Due to the effects of calming Qi, it allows one to maintain focus free from emotional constraints and allows Qi to be wielded efficiently. One must control the Qi. Control of this Qi for practiced martial artists can become second nature or exist as instinct. Sophia falls in the latter, ever since she unlocked her heart core wielding her Qi with purpose came naturally, she never had to think hard about it. As such, it allows for great creativity and quick thinking in the heat of battle.
  
  Qi Threading - Basic Gravity Core technique that allows one to concentrate their Qi. Threading Qi weaves it into a powerful ropes or nets, allowing basic techniques to become fearsome or deadly strikes on a whim. It can be used in other ways, such as concentrating it into parts of the body one wants to focus on in combat. Sophia's father taught her how to create a net covering the entire lower body and her center of mass, enhancing agility and making her very difficult to hit.
  
  Light footed - Very mobile and agile. While she doesn't over-rely on this, it allows her to keep both herself and her enemy on their toes. Her superior reaction time also allows her to parry and block with ease so long as the attack doesn't over-power her. Those with superior power have an edge and force her to avoid hits entirely. Basically a high risk high reward strategy.
  
  Adaptability - Sophia rarely focuses on one strategy to approaching combat, and this tends to work to her advantage. She will switch from spacing and baiting to full frontal assault on a whim at times. While this can be very risky if the opponent catches on, she has also found that if an opponent is comfortable with one style, they have a bit of lag with their own adaptability, especially when she switches her entire strategy on them mid-combat. This has led to a sort of low-key psychological warfare where she will switch approach just for those few moments of the opponent's internal panic to force a screw-up. It also means that she cannot be caught off guard easily through switching approaches as she knows how to do so quickly and efficiently.
  
  Swordsmanship - Sophia is a swordsman first and foremost. She never bothered how to master other weapons. On one hand this makes her a very specialized warrior who knows her weapon like it's an extension of her arms, but it also means she is subject to weapon disadvantages. Her spacing, power, weapon weight, and versatility are all locked. If one has trained to counter swordsmen, she's at a disadvantage.
  
  Brawling - When weapons are out and the bets are placed, this girl knows how to deliver hooks. She been dragged out with unruly knights to taverns and bars for a while. Naturally, things happen and she found herself in more than a few fist fights. She's a lot less graceful than she is with a sword and does take hits from more experienced and powerful brawlers, but that doesn't make her bad by any stretch of the imagination. Turns out, footwork and agility is very important to using your fists as weapons.
  
  Social/Day to Day
  Noble Etiquette - Considering Count Yurel has tried to groom his niece into a proper noble, she does know how to address nobility and work through their world. This also has a large set of smaller skills such as advanced literacy, musical abilities (with her most practiced being the Piano, though she can play string instruments, just not as well), dancing, and various other things she can do that you wouldn't expect. Just don't expect her to use it often. This has left many a noble and even potential suitor rather jarred as if they remember her from an event she attended with or at the behest of her uncle they will remember her discussing literature and current events, her playing an instrument, or even evening dancing, then when they try to talk to her outside those events she's a completely different person.
  
  Lack of Bias - To simplify it, like any self-respecting rebellious hormonal teenager, she hates everyone equally. She will not be impressed regardless of political standing, wealth, attitude, excuses, or much of anything really. Why would this come in handy? Well she can't be bribed or coerced for one, though she will take your money then rat you out. She also is rather decent at bartering because she doesn't care how good you say your product is, you're charging too much for her to bother. Trying to intimidate or control her will lead to her attempting it right back until you get the message. Try to be oddly nice to her to gain favor? Well she'll call out that bullshit a mile away. That's not to say she is heartless, she has interfered and jumped to people's defenses. Reasons can range to she felt like it to 'I don't hate that person, so they don't deserve that'. She has tipped people who go above and beyond in their service and when she does it's no small amount, but trying to make sense of her day to day behavior, she is best explained as done with everyone and everything until she has a reason not to be. On the contrary, give her a reason and she will find a way to enact vengeance.
  
  Perceptive - Not necessarily a refined skill, but she is highly logical and observant. This can lead to her judging people, but it also means she won't be surprised or double crossed. It also means catching her off guard is...difficult to say the least. Granted, she takes her logical conclusions rather deeply, so if you're deemed as not as threatening as you should be, she can overlook something important and be caught off guard that way. She's no detective, but if you're suspicious, she will trust you less and is less likely to be bamboozled.
  
  Utility/Adventuring
  Parental Influence - While she hasn't gone with her father and brother on adventures (yet), she has an encyclopedic knowledge of many common monsters. She can even look at footprints and...excrement as well as other signs and tell you what you're dealing with. Not that she's the greatest at it, but she's good enough to warrant asking for help.
  
  Awareness - Her perceptive skill are a boon as she can tell when something is off and avoid getting surprised. She will investigate suspicious activity and this makes it less likely she or her party will be caught with their pants down. She's no investigator, but she has the attention to detail to go that far if she wanted to.
  
  Basic Frontier Skills - Can start a fire, can set up shelter/campsite, and is used to being away from amenities of civilization to a degree. Not that she can spend weeks or months with minimal civilization contact, but she is used to traveling for days before seeing signs of people. But this is subsisted off of purchased foods and supplies alongside necessary equipment, so if she runs out of supplies she's sort of screwed.
  
  Basic Planning - Will catalogue supplies and come up with a cost estimate as well as a shopping list before heading out. She always comes prepared for expected situations.
  
  Connections - Turns out, being the niece of one of Reysha's most powerful nobles does come with some perks. All she really has to do to prove her identity is flash her family sigil and she can at least get a foot in the door or some innate standing. Granted, a lot of people hear her last name and confuse her uncle for her father, which often leads to more questions, especially if they're in the know enough to know Count Yurel isn't married.

• 
  Personality: Sophia is rather aloof. Doesn't really care much about what others think of her, doesn't show much interest, and usually tries to get away with minimal politeness if she can. She is, for lack of a better word, very utilitarian for a noble. She likes practicality more than being fanciful, so don't take her dress shopping. That doesn't mean she has zero fashion sense, she just prefers to wear coats and shirts with pants rather than dresses and skirts. She typically wears thin layers of armor under her clothes, which she will point out has come in handy in a few instances. One sure-fire sign she's comfortable around you will be that she just kind of hangs around or actually starts cracking jokes. She would kill for top quality sweets and tea though, and may dislocate your arm if you try to steal her cake. It's also surprisingly easy to earn a grudge from her, but usually it tends to be minor. If not, she will let you know.
  
  Character Goals: None really, she doesn't have any grand ambitions or burning desires. In this way, she's a lot like her father. The only thing she cares about though, is sweets and tea. While she may not always be willing to share them, she admits that that's the only thing that makes her feel like life is worth living. To her, adventuring is just a way to pay for her obsession, and travel so she can try as many as possible. She also has a lesser obsession with coffee and alcohol, quite indulgent is she not?
  
  Dislikes:
  -Fish. Ironic for a child of house Yurel to hate fish, but she does. She would rather eat any vegetable or mushroom that wouldn't kill her if it means she can avoid eating fish. She will admit though she finds them fascinating as creatures, but trying to force any aquatic creature down her gullet will result in untold chaos. She will hold a less than small grudge if you trick her into eating it too.
  
  -Uncooperative people. While she may be the first to point out your flaws in a crowded room, she is a professional first and foremost when it comes to work. If you try to get in the way of a job or actively hinder it, she will be more than mildly infuriated. She will chew you out as soon as possible and will give one warning before she starts taking action against you. She's fine if you stick to your role or adapt well, but if you break formation recklessly or fail to act at a crucial moment, she will be pissed.
  
  -People making a big deal about her heritage.
  
  -Creepy crawlies and other gross things, but often tends towards her fight response.
  
  -The very concept of ghosts and haunted/abandoned places.
  
  -Malicious gossip.
  
  History: Yurel is a city on the Great Lake of Reysha and is said to be the home of the first Guardian of the Lake. This makes it a rather important city historically, trade-wise, and of scholarly interest. In fact, the name Yurel is said to come from the first guardian, though records and stories are too muddled to say for sure what the true circumstance is. Too little records and too many stories, but the predominant one is that the first Guardian married the first Count of Yurel. Sadly, familial records are unaccounted for and the bloodline after many generations subject to the noble pedigree is too diluted, so any conclusions to this day are considered by most scholars to be purely speculative.
  
  Granted, that's all Sophia knows about her ancestry past her parents' generation. To begin her story, we have to go back twenty years, when a gate opened up within the city limits. Thankfully it wasn't smack dab in the middle right next to the Temple of the First Guardian, but it was close enough to greatly affect the inner city. That's when her father was hired by her uncle to help clean up the mess. Her father is an adventurer simply known as The Hunter, but don't let simple titles fool you. One does not simply get known as THE Hunter in a profession known for hunting monsters. At first, Ellen was intimidated by this adventurer. Well, more petrified than intimidated sometimes, but she was slightly curious. After all, her brother had allowed the man to use their mansion as a headquarters. At first they didn't talk to each other, at least not until Ellen one day found herself running for her life from some monsters and he rescued her. Perhaps it wasn't a knight in shining armor, but he had come to her aid and butchered every threat to her existence before kneeling down, covered head to toe in blood and asking through his mask with his piercing yellow eyes: "Are you unharmed?" To this day she swears her heart nearly stopped. Yes, a good portion was from fear, terror, and adrenaline, but it had also skipped a beat because she had finally understood what it truly meant to fall for someone. After taking her back to the mansion, she had become more than a little curious. At first she helped him find books on the monsters coming through the gate, then she began taking tea and treats to him as he worked in his makeshift workshop, then she began helping patch and clean his clothes, and after all that she finally started what would become their timely tradition: teatime in the garden. It took a lot of courage, but she was the first to confess. After that, her savior asked for space to sort out his thoughts. After the gate incident had finally been dispelled, he asked her if she was still sure. When she answered yes, he looked down pensively. That's when she took his hand and said she would wait for him, however long it took. From then on, it took only a few visits before Ellen found herself pregnant. First try no less.
  
  To say Count Yurel was unhappy would be an understatement, but he did manage to force her father to take responsibility. That didn't make the man plant down roots, but it did ensure he would always have a place to return to between jobs, fueling her uncle's ire further and back to strongly disliking her father despite tolerating him. Three years later, Sophia was conceived.
  
  Sophia's childhood was...interesting to say the least. Her dad didn't neglect her, but he was often gone for sometimes months at a time, leaving her with her brother, mother, and uncle. Well, them and all the servants in the mansion. She actually cherishes her early childhood, running around with her older brother causing mischief, which also included them getting into the barracks which is where they learned to fight. Sure, their dad gave them a few pointers and sometimes trained them, but again, he was sometimes away for an entire quarter of the year with minimal contact. No, they were primarily trained how to wield swords over whatever the fuck their dad would drag onto his hunts. Speaking of, when her brother turned fifteen he started going out with their father on some of his expeditions. So, by the time she was twelve not only did she have to deal with the wonderful world of puberty, she did so with her beloved brother being gone what felt like most of the time. In an effort to distract and hopefully curb her into a more domestic life, her uncle amped up her teaching and tutoring. Then a year later she managed to get into her first duel and nearly hacked her opponent's arm clean off which led to even more strict house rules. It didn't take long for the piano to be broken, and it wouldn't be the first time. Now, her uncle isn't abusive, and she recognizes that. He actually did let her learn the martial arts as part of her teachings, but deep within her, she felt like she was being suppressed and chained down. This is what ultimately developed her devil may care attitude to basically everything. At the age of fifteen, she nearly ran away to go chase after her brother and father after they were gone for nearly half a year. It was then that her uncle finally loosened his grip, but the damage had mostly been done. Routine's a bitch to break after all. Hoping to show her his good intentions, she was given a horse at the age of sixteen, a majestic well bred stallion any other noble daughter would commit warcrimes for. While she did take somewhat to caring for the horse, but she still didn't show any sign of improving. Feeling just the tiniest bit guilty he finally gave up and gave her full freedom. Immediately she signed on to the guild and is more or less on a journey of soul searching, using the guild as a way to earn money as she wanders the world.

Important Notes

Yurel - Both a family name and the name of a city associated with the First Guardian of the Lake. Major trade, tourist, and historical city within Reysha. Practically speaking its a pretty important dot on Reysha's map.

Temple of the Lake/Temple of the First Guardian - Holy site found in the middle of Yurel. Largest structure in the city and is said to be where the first Guardian Lived, at least possibly for a time. Truth is, most records regarding the First Guardian are stored away and archived in the temple, but they're rarely brought out for the sake of their preservation. Only the higher clergy within the temple know for sure, but they do perpetuate the story that this was the home of the First Guardian. More public records that have been cross-referenced by scholars the world over do state that the temple was the first structure and the city sort of bloomed around it. Many believe that the temple was a holy site that in its early days served as a place for rituals involving the lake. Standard fair like rituals praying for bountiful catches to early fishermen settlers. Some theories even state the First Guardian was named at this temple, hence its second title. Again, only The Guardian and the higher ups at the temple have access to the original documents to prove any of this, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt too. It's possible those documents haven't been read in ages.

Great Lake Bureau District - Short walk away from the temple, the beating heart of the city, at least if you're looking at districts. Smack dab in the middle between the ports and the wider marketplace and just barely touching the upper and middle classes' residential district, this is where all permits are checked, records of trade kept, and really just an overall important point. Regardless if you're a merchant, visiting noble, or even an adventurer passing through this is stop number one. This area contains the embassies, guest quarters (for if you're particularly important), the Adventurer's Guild Branch office, the city archives (aka library), the Knights of the Lake's Barracks and headquarters which they share with the city guard, and of course the actual Bureau building itself which is adjacent to the library.

Father - Adventurer known as The Hunter. He didn't exactly make that title himself, its just how people refer to him. Typically wanders around and only takes quests involving the butchering and slaughtering of monsters. To the confusion of many, the man does not use a bow. Instead he wields a variety of makeshift weapons, many of them serrated or made of special alloys, which can include strange gimmicks. No one knows who he is, where he's from, or how he became the way he is. All you need to know is if a man comes into your guild branch clad in heavy protective leather clothing, has a bloodstained weapon specifically designed for monsters, and is either covered head to toe and/or reeks of blood that's him.

  Prosthetic arm
  It started out as a prosthetic meant to return Talio’s life to some sense of normalcy but has since turned into a formidable tool and weapon after a few…modifications. Functions like a normal arm, but better, a lot better. Allows him to perform stronger and faster strikes with or without a weapon. The arm’s core heats up when used excessively, causing the limb to temporarily jam.
  
  
  
  The Steel Strider Armor
  
  Powered by processed synthetic monster cores, this suit of armor does not only provide ample protection for its wearer but also greatly amplified offensive capabilities. The Steel Strider armor was Talio’s answer to his lack of proper training in combat, instead substituting it with his craftsmanship and ingenuity.
  
  The armor is enchanted to endure blow after blow against both physical and magical attacks thanks to the protective runes he had experts blacksmiths enchant onto the armor. A protective barrier automatically protects its user for the first few strikes before requiring some time to recharge.
  
  Besides the protective rune, the armor also contains an exo-skeletal structure that's used to greatly amplify the strength of its wearer by running core energy through the artificial veins of the inner suit. With this newfound strength, the wearer is able to strike fast with bone-breaking force and toss aside any lesser opponents. Aside from offense, this also provides him with excellent mobility, allowing him to move at speeds not attainable by normal humans.
  
  
  The visor on his helmet also has a special enchantment that allows him to temporarily slow his perception of time, allowing him to have heightened sense of awareness, improving his reflexes for the perfect counterstrike. The helmet itself also functions as a filter in case there harmful substance in the air.
  
  And finally, the piece of resistance, his favourite tool for a tour de force, aptly named the bisector blade. Unlike the order pieces of his armor, this was a design that was completely his own. A blade that vibrates when in its active state to increase it’s cutting power. The hilt was the most intricate part of the set, functioning in a similar manner to that of a cannon. When needed, the user is able to use this sheath to shoot it’s blade with tremendous force and speed, while using the sword wielding arm to guide to its target, delivering a devastating upwards slash, strong enough to cut through flesh, bone and even weaker armor.
  
  Choke grenades
  Grenades filled with choking powder, used as a getaway tool to leave enemies distracted, though he has known to use these to get an underhanded advantage against his opponents.
  
  Guard Golems
  
  
  
  
  Semi autonomous golems that act as body guards to Talio. What they lack in skill, they make up in sheer durability and agility. Able to overpower and outmanevuer most opponents with ease. He is alot more selective on the parties he would lend this product to. He regularly trains with them, to test the limits of his current skill as well as the performance of his Steel Strider armor.
  
  Carriage
  
  
  
  
  
  His carriage acts as his mobile workshop/home. Its sturdier and bigger than most carriages as he had custom built it to survive the elements. When needed, it can be transformed into a airship simply by attaching the hardpoints on the roofs onto a vacant balloon. While he hasnt perfected this technology yet, he has plans for it to enter mass production in the future for his fellow merchants.
  
• 
  Personality:
  With a blend of suave nonchalance, professional poise, and smug comedy, Talio carries himself as a competent and well-mannered businessman, always wanting to make a sale or at least pitch his new products and services to anyone who needs his help AND is willing to pay. He is a tinkerer at heart, always seeking to improve his craft and going to extreme lengths to test the limits of his tools and abilities, much to the dismay of his allies.
  
  Despite his generally friendly and diplomatic demeanor, he is not one to turn away from less civilized options to deal with problems. Some would even say his tactics are underhanded and unconventional, or much too extreme. But what he cares about is getting the job done and maybe making a bit of profit along the way. That being said, he does get high on the sense of pride and accomplishment on a job well done, a feeling no amount of money can buy.
  
  In spite of his tendency to be machiavellian, he does have a moral compass, albeit one with much more freeform and looseness compared to the average do-gooder. He keeps his word, oftentimes to the letter, though he does leave a lot of room for interpretation. In most cases, he keeps the involvement of neutral parties to a minimum as part of his good business practices.
  
  Character Goals: To perfect his craft, namely his inventions.
  
  
  Dislikes:
  -Outright dishonest practices
  -Unearned pride
  -Bandits of all kind
  -Bootlegs
  
  
  History:
  
  
  
  An aspiring entrepreneur, sellsword, and artificer who wants to make a name for himself.
  
  Born into a rich family of inventors from a foreign empire. Talio is the youngest son of the family. The Ferrammanus household was incredibly competitive, always seeking to one-up each other in their achievements. Talio however seemed to be content with being the underdog, doing the bare minimum to stay on the good side of his family. Because of this, many of his close relatives see him as lazy, but he sees himself as efficient.
  
  Within the house Ferromanus, it was customary for the young to be sent out to the world as part of a traditional pilgrimage. He was expected to earn name for himself through whatever means necessary, be it through commerce or his escapades as a makeshift mercenary.
  
  Eventually, he found himself joining a guild on faraway land. However his connection with this guild was short-lived.While he was in climbing the ranks of this foreign guild, he felt that his advancement was not as rewarding as he’d since he was repeatedly tasked mundane quests. It wasn’t until he was fed up with guild that didnt appreciate his talents and eventually moved away to much more fruitful endeavors, a new land where he was held back by the mindset of the old.
  
  And now he travels around the new world, accompanied by his band of machinations to assist in whatever challenges he may face, whether it be selling his wares, fending off bandits or killing monsters. In this recent years, he’s aligned himself with guild of adventurers, acting as a sponsor for their tools. While he keeps the best stuff for himself, he’s been known to share designs and stocks of his inventions to the guild.
  
  Over time, he became a reliable ringer for the guild, an individual called in to supplement existing guild members whenever they are met with exceptionally difficult tasked.These days, he can be found roaming around the streets of the city with his signature caravan, accompanied by a small complement of mechanical golems.
  
  
• 
  Has a small carriage with horse golems. His carriage is usually accompanied by his own entourage of guard golems. While he still sells small wares and consumables for adventurers, his biggest money-making service renting out his mining golems for the mining operations of companies or guild members.
  
  
  
  Profession:
  Merchant/Mercenary
  
• 
  Skills
  Negotiation - Talio is known to have a silver tongue, convincing people that a win win situation is possible.
  Intention reading - Having had extensive experience with dealing with customers of many varieties, Talio has a nack of reading people intensions just by looking at their micro expressions, tone of voice and body language.
  
  Keen perception - The devil is in the details, and Talio isn’t the type to miss out things, big or small. Whether its out of place word in a contract or suspicious financials of dodgy supplier, you can pull a fast one on this man.
  Novice Swordsmanship - While he has read books on proper swordsmanship technique, he has little to no official training and instead relies on the strenght of his prosthetic arm and Steel strider armor to compensate.
  
  
  Qi Techniques
  Qi Vision
  By concentrating Qi into his vision, he is able to give himself a unique form of vision that highlights the concentration of energies within a person. This allows him to essentially “read” the intentions of his enemy, therefore giving him time to plan a suitable counterattack accordingly.
  
  
  
  Weakness
  No proper combat training
  Reliance on armor
  Prone to taking risks to limit test his inventions
  
  
  
  
  

Is there anything special you'd like to add to the world?
A tinkerer’s club where tinkeres all over the world compete and help each other with their designs. That is where Talio would get help from when developing the Steel strider armor.
Like maybe a famous, powerful npc that's maybe your mentor?
Or a famous family of strong people?
While not strong persay, the house of Ferromanus is more famous for their inventions and mercantile connections.
Or a unique location?
Or a small nation that I can add to the map?

  .​
  "An abominable and unnatural looking creature, which does not look as though it would belong in any natural biome. He eats and eats, yet still does not a have a shred of fat. His tall and slender form hides a formidable strength which does not befit it. It's arms change form as seamlessly as water -- while it's body remains steadfast and dense. It's texture is smooth and nearly hairless, yet it has clear muscles and veins when one gets close.
  
  It walks on hind legs upright, and at other times walks on all fours.
  
  
  
  
• 
  Monster Core
  
  Simurg's path could closely be called something meant to fill in the gaps which his masters could not. That would be something akin to a martial basis.
  
  The Broken Core
  
  A core broken beyond repair as far as the creature knows. Most are unsure of it's nature or what it does. It remains within Simurgh in scant pieces. It's presence is barely detectable.
  
• 
  
  Rank: C
  
  Job Rank: Silver - 2
  
  No other guild positions. Simurg has no desire to fulfill any other positions in the guild.
  
  
• 
  The creature technically has no weapons or items of it's own.
  
  At times, the monster may carry gold. And it can use this to different ends. Such as purchasing items or coaxing people to do things. The creature can save quite a lot of money and live essentially for free, cutting out most living expenses of itself and exclusively spending on Kouma. If this is so, it will carry it on a sack tied to it's neck.

  Personality​

  ---

  
  Sim can be described in a manner akin to a beast but made sentient and self aware of it's own existence. It possesses an intelligence above that of any beast, capable of speaking. But it does not necessarily abide by human morality, feeling little in the realm of altruism to that which does not immediately benefit it. Perhaps the only exception to this is his master, whom he did not abandon once she grew sick. Sim even has something which could considered a fairly dark sense of humor.
  
  However, his morality differs from others in ways. Such can put him at odds of some, as he is not above eating corpses of fallen comrades, much to the dismay of those around him. His animalistic nature can also lend him to have a similar disregard for life. He will chase about something such as a rat as quickly as he would a rabbit. However, he does not usually eat humans alive anymore unless they provoke him.
  
  That said, when not in combat, Sim can be inquisitive and impressionable. His limited experiences and the fact that he is younger than most humans makes him prone to being intrigued by very mundane things. The information he absorbs on certain perspectives and philosophies can fill the voids within his own thought processes, making him sometimes inclined to learn from others who's opinions he values.
  
  Simurgh can sometimes be pet by those who would do so and have the "right approach." Simurgh will also sometimes allow certain people to ride him, so long as he likes them.
  
  Character Goals: To "cure" the ailments of his "master". And to procure enough funds to aid in his master's business.
  
  Dislikes
  
  • Diseases
  • Parasites

  History​

  
  Throughout the Desert of Aezunura Desert, there does exist tales of a wild monster, with flesh as dark and blue as the desert night. Within head were two glowing eyes. And below those -- were gaping maws.
  
  With those maws, the creature ate most all who opposed it for a time -- be it man or beast. Until it soon met a master who would tame it.
  
  Simurg is a creature with a past that is in large part, shrouded in mystery. What is known of him is told from his own limited accounts -- combined with the knowledge and findings of his master, Kouma.
  
  Having no memory of before he was born or how he became to made, Kouma suspects Sim is the construction of an unknown amount of monsters. Designed to be the ultimate predator, but held on the leash on an attack dog. Simurgh describes how he was at a time controlled by a group known locally as "The Manaf." Who lives among the thieves and within the Badlands -- but who operate all throughout the three continents to a mostly unknown capacity. Horrible experiments are conducted by them on man and beast alike, which Simurgh bore witness to.
  
  But for a time, he simply opted to accomplish whatever task they would send him to do. Sim was quite intelligent compared to other monsters, and could thus be sent to do very specific missions. Such as functionally assassinating and devouring political rival, other individuals who opposed them or killing lone adventurers that otherwise opposed the cult's activities. Often, he left little trace of the bodies he did kill.
  
  
  
  Soon however, the creature seemed to almost naturally abhor his confinement and the rigid means by which he was structured. The creature craved agency. And thus it had decided to destroy one of the cores it was granted, robbing it of some of it's abilities, but allowing it to escape to tight binds the cult had on it's mind. It managed to escape at opportune time, killing some of the cultists on it's way out -- but knowing it lacked the strength to kill their most powerful.
  
  So then, the creature would wander the lands and operate in a strange pattern of simply killing those who made for the greatest meals for it. This leant the creature to ignoring most innocent civilians, and instead leant it to preying on both the local thieves and some lower grab adventurers alike as a mysterious monster. Unknowing of th creature's more heinous activities, many of those who traveled the dangerous deserts would find themselves accidentally saved as it preferred to dine on the thieves who would rob them than the people there.
  
  Soon however, one woman had managed to prompt the monster down. It was a traveling merchant who'd wares that interested monster. Namely, food comprised of beasts. The creature would move forward. But she would stop it by petting it. And then she offered it the food it wanted of her own accord.
  
  Taming the creature, the Merchant known as Kouma began to use the creature to aid her in her travels, using to protect her from thieves -- which he often fed upon. To her surprise, the creature one day had begun talking to her. And thus, she decided to teach it the workings of human society. The creature soon the creature would become known across the country as "Simurgh".
  
  One day however, an attack had gone wrong. Simurgh had killed everyone as usual. But his master had been stabbed by a dagger he was too feral to prevent. She soon became gravely ill from the strike, accumulating an unknown disease. One which and shown no signs of going away any time soon and would eventually cause her business to go belly up.
  
  Eventually, the creature joined the adventuring guild with her aide. And he would aide parties in that area. But most wouldn't believe the rumors of Simurgh being an actual monster. And most of the guild higher ups refuse to dole out said personal information. During his ventures, he seeks to acquire the means with which to cure his master's disease and to pay off the debt she's accumulated.

  Talents​

  ---

  
  Honed Senses: A tool of the Hunt. Able to find prey and can also detect when he is being stalked. All senses are augmented to be able to pick up sounds, scents, tastes and to feelings beyond that of an ordinary person.
  
  Tracking: Through a combination of his enhanced senses and his own skill, he is capable of tracking down creatures and lost people. Using things as simple as their scent and as complex as dents in the grass or footprints. Once on a trail, Sim can be difficult to throw.
  
  Assess Strength: Like many beasts, Sim is often capable of assessing the power of an opponent or person.
  
  Devil's Details: A small creature burrowing beneath a ground. A very specific face in a crowd.
  
  Feral Fighting Style: While sometimes more instinctive and less technical than most martial artists, the creature possesses a natural knowledge biomechanics and force. And it understands how to throw powerful blows and it has a natural affinity for grappling using it's own specialized body type. It also does have a concept of footwork, honed from fighting creatures larger than it is and often crawling on all fours for superior maneuverability.
  
  Disquiet: Unable to wander about towns alone without attracting trouble or enter cities. Typically requires someone with him to avoid him to be mistaken for a wild monster who'd infiltrated the city. Otherwise, he is prone to gathering angry mobs and bands of aggressive adventurers.
  
  This also seems to extend to animals who avoid or are aggravated by his presence. Birds fly away. Dogs bark. Horses buck and show signs of fear.
  
  Inhuman: Human customs and morality evade him. This can make even day to day interactions difficult. To say nothing of negotiations.
  
  Amoral: Often is simply not loyal to people who he does not particularly like. Can see abandoning most who are not his master as an option. This can make the creature appear less trustworthy.
  
  

  Path of a Monster​

  ---

  
  A being that can be difficult to quantify, due to the amalgamation of parts that describe it, Sim is often simply called a monster. Capable of walking both upright and on all fours -- Sim appears to be primarily a carnivore, preferring to eat meats. Strangely enough, Sim can eat more than his mass should allow him to accommodate. The flesh of monsters or stronger humans appears to do a better job of sustaining him, though he can prey on any animal and live sustainably. He is however, greatly weakened when feeding on ordinary creatures.
  
  Sim seems to store his energy almost indefinitely and his existence alone does not seem to expend much energy if any at all. Meaning that if he rests or does nothing, he will likely not starve. However, fighting will typically expend great amounts of energy and effort. This also can make adventuring an easy way to get a particularly nourishing meal.
  
  Iron Hide: The creature is heavier than it looks, with a thick hide that functions as an armor of sorts. It mitigates many manner of blunt force impact. Sufficient powerful slashes can cut deep enough into the flesh to bleed. Piercing attacks against the fleshier parts of his body tend to have the greatest effect. Especially when launched at points of his body like the back of the knees and under the armbits.
  
  Bestial Power: The creature possesses strength and speed that can be considered far above average. It can rend weaker beings limb from limb and wrestle with beasts larger than itself.
  
  
  .

  

  .​
  
  Polymorphic Arms: Has a limited capacity to shapeshift, with particular form given to it's arms. Endlessly versatile, their usefulness cannot match the strongest blades. And sometimes, they meet things which they cannot cut. In which case, the creature may resort to smashing a target. They can change shape, but cannot make themselves indestructible. And as it stands, they can be prone to break under pressure. The arms however show capability of evolving and becoming stronger over time. And potentially in being able to be hardened at the expense of their shapeshifting capabilities.
  
  • Form of Wings: The most prominent ability, this grants Sim the ability fly at high speeds. Combined with his strength, he can carry a human easily. And can even carry large beasts with minimum effort and drop them. Cannot carry very large monsters and has difficulty carrying those who simply resist it's grip.
  • Form of Claws: Self explanatory. Can form thick claws of varying textures. Serrations can allow it to hook into foes. Thickening the claws and sharpening the blades can make them like daggers.
  • Form of Serpent: Arms take upon itself a skeletal structure akin to that of a large serpent and become very good at grappling and crushing. The hands often retain claws at the end.
  • Lengthening: The arms can stretch and be used to "grapple."
  • Condense: The arms seem to accumulate mass without growing in size. This lends them to weightier blows.
  • Shield: Can make a shield with one or both arms to dampen blows or protect allies.
  
  Abysmal Howl: Capable of creating a variety of strange noises for different effects.
  
  • Roar: Challenge the pride of a enemy. And beckons them to attack it.
  • Shriek: Ungodly and unnatural noise with strange, otherworldly undertones. Rattles the bones and causes those of lesser will to flee. Less effective against individuals with sufficient willpower.
  • Repulsion: A roar so loud, that it afflicts things physically. It creates a deafening blast wave practically synonymous with an explosion. This can enable it to repel enemies, destoy near objects and potentially can launch shrapnel at people depending on the environment.
  • Mimicry: Can mimic the sounds and voices of most creatures. And even different objects it hears. It has utility as simple as mocking people akin to a parrot, repeating what they say back at them. Or as sinister as luring unsuspecting prey to it's doom.
  
  
  
  
• 
  Profession: The creature could be considered a mercenary of sorts. And accompanies parties on their adventures as more or less a member.
  
  
  Kouma AKA "The Master"
  
  

  

  
  ​
  Kouma is a young merchant who found, named and ultimately tamed Simurgh. Growing up the daughter of a prisoner in a penal colony, located in a region of the Azeunera Desert. With her mother dead during childbirth, the father placed much of the blame on her. As she was cast out -- she would resort to thievery for a time but soon...had managed to go legitimate. And found for herself the resources to make a small business for herself -- selling exotic spices, magical items, bestial parts and other strange oddities she could get her hands on. At times through less than savory means. Suspected of thievery one day, she was booted from a caravan, leaving her with little protection to go about her business from place to place.
  
  Soon however, on her travels, she met with a creature who seemed to appear to protect her, and found itself drawn to the items she had to offer. Which she gave it willing.
  
  Having few dedicate combat skills of her own, Kouma served as a subtle and kind guide for the creature, teaching about the ways of man, allowing him to walk about towns and allowing him to eat whatever bandits or creatures attempted to threaten her whenever she decided to travel alone. Life for a few years was good. However, it only seemed to take one attack for things to go awry. She suffered a grave wound when attacked a by particularly nasty band on a normal day. And she had grown ill. Her business would go under to boot. And soon she was left only with Sim to aid her.
  
  She would aid the creature in putting his talents to use. And he would become an adventurer in the region, quickly ascending the ranks.
  
  The Manaf Cult
  
  An enigmatic cult, said to originate from the Azeunera desert, birthplace of magic. They practice in forbidden magics, which often entail attempts at resurrecting the dead, enslaving monsters to do their bidding and conducting experiments on any people or monster they can get to achieve their own ends. As well as making attempts to enhance themselves. It is said that they would seek to make a new holy land for themselves -- constantly prodding and poking lands around them for vulnerabilities and resources that would make for a suitable holy land -- to further their own means.
  
  Little else appears to be known about them to the public. Kouma and Simurgh are aware that these appear to be the creature of the Simurgh. But few know what else they have done and what else they will do.

• 
  Tear has been mistaken as a child many times, thanks to her small stature. Even other elves her age appear more grown, which is something Tear is insecure about. It's not only her appearance, but her posture is that of a meek kid. Tear keeps her head down, and she constantly looks like she's on the verge of tears (no pun intended). Her blue hair is messy and overgrown, but she likes it that way. She has eye bags from an unhealthy schedule of training, reading, and meditation—leaving only 3-4 hours of sleep.

  Never joined it because it sounds utterly terrifying! What if she encountered a world-ending monster that spirited her away? What if she fell into a hole and everybody forgot about her? Tear would rather stay helping her merchant parents, where it's safe! Of course, conveniently ignoring the bandits and other troubles they stumbled into in their ventures.

• 
  Personality: Tear is a meek individual. Most people wouldn't even bat an eye; even the way she walks, head hunched down and in a speedy I-don't-want-to-be-here way, makes her unassuming. She stutters when caught in conversation. She wears her emotions on her sleeve. Tear is the last person anyone would think to enter the Grand Tournament. Yet here she is—and she made it through the preliminaries. Tear is skilled in battle and has more power than she realizes... she just lacks the confidence in herself to be the best she can be. She has lofty aspirations, but constantly beats herself down, believing someone like herself could never get far. Even though she's made it this far and experienced the joy of victory, her anxieties never seem to go away.

  Dislikes: (too bad for her, she's going through all these things)
  - Hurting people
  - Standing out
  - Big crowds
  
  History: A decade ago, Tear Ripley escaped her home as it fell to ruin from war.
  
  The Quasar Kingdom in Aufun was a nationalistic kingdom where its people leaned paths heavily on the arts and combat. They experimented and pushed the limits of their powers in the name research. The royals attempted an ambitious conquest of the continent after Princess Abdula ascended the throne. She chose her family to be the subject of her Second Severing, and when she took on the mantle, she felt nothing but the power of gaining her 6th Star. Having grown greedy and power-hungry, she wanted to assimilate the rest of Aufun under her ideals. It was a lofty goal; one that was quickly stopped. Princess Abdula was defeated, the Quasar Kingdom fell into ruin, and it inevitably collapsed. It lost its place on every map.
  
  Tear's mentor, who taught her almost everything one could know about the Astral Path, was the beloved and powerful Princess Abdula Solis. Her mother was none other than the Royal Artificer and Abdula's closest friend, Holo. All Tear remembers of Abdula is a kind, hearty woman who was dear friends with her mother. Tear was one of the few talented children she tutored—she was only three years old when she received her 2nd Star. Always at the top of Abdula's classes, she memorized the ins and outs of the Astral Path. Abdula was obsessed with the thought of having more than 8 Stars; Tear remembered that the most.
  
  Then five years passed. She was eight and had finally forged her 3rd Star. Tear was happy to leave it there. By then, Abdula's classes were winding down as she became a scarcer sight in the kingdom. Her mother, Holo, said that Abdula was not doing well. Something had "made her sick," which supposedly explained her declining mental state.
  
  Then Abdula overthrew her parents and assumed control of everything. Classes resumed, and the lessons took a heavy turn towards combat rather than arts. Encouraged by her mother, Tear went through lots of pain and exhaustion to maintain her place in class. The only flaw of hers that Abdula saw was that Tear despised the idea of fighting other people. Too meek. Too empathetic. The Quasar Kingdom needed warriors now more than ever, because Abdula had plans.
  
  By now, she began invading the smaller, neighboring territories. Abdula's class was supposed to become an elite force once they came of age. She taught them to always push themselves to earn their Stars. However, they never had their chance to shine. As Abdula found, a continent-wide conquest only sounded feasible on paper.
  
  The major kingdoms descended on the despotic ruler and her fanatic followers. They rapidly approached the Quasar Kingdom's capital: Tear's home. Holo chose to stay and support Abdula, but knew her daughter was no fighter. So, kissing her goodbye, she sent Tear with a passing merchant couple who were fleeing the kingdom.
  
  Tear watched the city fall. It disappeared over the hills, and that was the last time she ever saw it or her mother.
  
  Eventually, she stopped crying. Tear went back to her studies; it got her mind off of everything. Her foster parents did everything they could to help, but only time healed the wounds. Nights were spent in deep meditation. During the day, after helping the couple with their tasks, she practiced and refined the different techniques Abdula taught. During her travels with the merchants, however, she found that Abdula's teachings were far more combat-oriented.
  
  Tear was now 10 years old. It was at this point she recalled Abdula's many tales and stories about the Agents who gained more Stars than the fingers of one hand; how they rose with enough power to bring about dramatic change in historical times. Here, she wondered: With enough Stars... could I rebuild my home?
  
  And that's what she did for the next eight years: meditation and trying, dedicating much of her time to achieving Stars. Although Tear developed a shy and quiet nature, she was a monster during training on her lonesome. Over the years, she'd gotten into scuffles and riveting incidents that one cannot possibly tell here in detail, further honing her experience.
  
  Now 18 years old, the Grand Tournament came into existence and was announced to the public. What it offered was exactly what Tear needed: enough power and influence to rebuild her home. She needed to join, and the only reason she felt ready was thanks to her foster parents' encouragement.
  
  Nobody expected much from the quiet girl, who kept her head low. But after Tear's first match, there was quite a stir in the community. Not only did she win—she wiped the floor with her foe. She breezed through the challenges, much to everyone's surprise—including herself.
  
  Not only that, but in further training past the preliminaries, she gained her 4th Star! In defeating her opponents, Tear passed her biggest hurdle so far. She achieved Enlightenment in meditation, in that she is capable of much more, and that she wants to continue. The audience is just as eager to see how Tear will fair...
  
• 
  Talents
  Nimble Reactiveness - Tear's small size comes in handy! A big part of her combat prowess is her ability to read, react to, and evade her opponents' attacks. She's fast and slippery; one of her opponents in the preliminaries barely even touched her. Don't be surprised when you see her flipping around the arena several times in a row.
  
  Highly Observant - A large part of how Tear fights is by starting off defensive and learning how her enemy fights. She notes their habits, favorite moves, and tidbits that potentially help her against them.
  
  Pressure Point Awareness - A big part of Abdula's combat training was for her students to memorize the pressure points on a person. Striking these points can stun people, disorient them, or even knock them out if given the chance.

Is there anything special you'd like to add to the world?

A small territory called the Quasar Kingdom in Aufun, a nationalistic place that focused their paths heavily on the arts and combat. They experimented and pushed the limits of their powers in the name research. It was led by Princess Abdula, who wielded six stars when she overthrew her family and led the kingdom into war. Her intent was to assimilate the rest of Aufun under her ideals, but was quickly quashed. The kingdom was destroyed, and its zealous people were imprisoned or killed. This took place around 10 years ago.

  History:
  
  Ragnar Fireheart, or Newborn-of-our-great-mother in the Fezinian language, was found deep in the caves of Feozane herself. A party of adventurers found him as a young child playing joyfully in a pool of lava. They brought him back and the guild tried to find his parents - to no avail. After an investigation into these weird circumstances was launched they found less than nothing - as if Ragnar was just born from Feozane herself. So they determined that that was the most likely case. The first newborn of Feozane since the inception of their race 500 years ago.
  
  Ragnar was given his name and then raised by three A-Rank Guild Examiners, one from each path. He proved to be quite strong and talented which lead to him becoming arrogant as he grew up. Wanting to prove to himself and other that he was better than them he attempted to form his first Magic Circle, proving that he wasn't only talented in strength but also in mind.
  
  For all of about five seconds when he attempted to cast his first 1-circle spell. Ragnars magic circle shattered leaving him devastated and humbled. He asked his parent-mentors for guidance and they told him to learn patience and refine himself - which he took a bit too literally and learned blacksmithing.
  
  Ragnar continued to study from his three mentors while becoming a blacksmith and continued to do so as he refined his craft. He started his journey on the martial path and discovered the joy of fighting. But instead of diving into the fighting world headfirst Ragnar continued on refining himself, focusing on purifying his Qi and getting his second core: The Crown Core. With his crown core formed he then started his journey down the astral path, using its cleansing powers to further purify his Qi.
  
  After training his blacksmithing fighting skills and furthering his two paths, Ragnar began to work as an adventurer to experience more of the world and its people. And now some years later he returned to his homeland to participate in the Grand Tournament.

  Talents
  
  Molten Body
  Compared to other Fezinians Ragnars entire body seems to be made out of molten rock. While it does make him a bit weaker it also improves his resistance to poison and drastically improves his regenerative capabilities. Minor wounds can heal in seconds and even limbs can regenerate after weeks or months. Oh, and he's hot. Very hot.
  
  Born of Fire
  Seemingly blessed by Feozane herself, his Soul, Qi, and Mana all have fire properties, making direct contact very painful. It also boosts his talent for fire related abilities as well as their strength. On the other hand the water and ice element can weaken him in enough quantities and using them himself is nearly impossible and very painful.
  
  Blazing Mind
  Trying to attack his mind is like entering a sea of flames, not only is his mind strong but also literally on fire. Recommendation: Do not touch!
  
  Fire Eater
  Ragnar can absorb great amount of flames or heat around him to temporarily boost his strength and size. Though he needs to absorb a lot for the effect to be noticeable at all.
  
  Great Strength
  Ragnar seems to have been born a lot stronger than others.
  
  Purified Comprehension
  Ragnar seemed to always have a high ability to comprehend things but it was hindered by the impurities inside of him. Now that he has cleansed his mind, body, qi, and soul, it can fully shine and let him make use of all the things that he has learned but not understood.
  
  Combat Rush
  The longer Ragnar is focused on combat the more his senses, speed, strength, and pain tolerance are increased. Although this intense focus may leave him open to illusions and other trickery.
  
  Talented
  Ragnar seems to have a natural talent for the three paths, being able to feel his mana, spirit, and qi a lot better and faster than others, letting him progress quite fast. Although he doesn't know how deep and far his talent goes.
  
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Skills
  
  Hardened skin
  When Ragnar began expelling impurities from his body they cooled down on the surface of his skin into natural armor plating. Their toughness can be compared to bone or stone and Ragnar sometimes enhances them by eating metal and expelling it through his skin.
  
  Powerful throw
  You don't need to be too accurate if you throw hard and fast enough.
  
  Partial Inner Sight
  
  Partial Obfuscation of Inner Sight
  As Ragnar learned to control his strength and pressure, he also learned how to hide it from others.
  
  Partial Self Inner Sight
  Ragnar hasn't fully mastered this skill yet and mostly goes by "feeling" his progress or asking his mentors.
  
  Blacksmith's Stamina
  Spending long hours in the forge has given Ragnar quite a lot of Stamina.
  
  Refined Movement
  Ragnar learned how to be as efficient as possible with every move he makes.
  
  Trained Speed
  Learned how to increase and maintain his speed through combat.
  
  Expert Hammer Wielder
  Combining various hammer fighting techniques as well as his own proficiency with the weapon Ragnar created his own devastating Hammer Martial Art.

[Hvnny-Bvns0]

Name: Finnigore (Finn)
Age: 15
Height: 5’0”
Gender: null
Race: mixed-race human and beastman*
*part fox. They are a bit tall for this particular subset of beastman, though still as nimble. Their legs are that of a fox’s, and they have the tail and ears as well.

Status: commoner. Both of their parents were well-known criminals, and still remain in jail. They have done a small amount of thievery in their time, mostly to get some bad karma to help with their astral magic.

Vertex:
astral path
3 stars
Doesn’t mind wracking up bad karma- and has done so a couple of times. Neutral evil

magic path
1 ring
Focusing on illusion magic, hopes to one day work on summoning magic

Registered with the guild: no. They would not like to, either. They feel it comes with too much responsibility, and prefer to just take what life throws at them. Oh, and they also have too much pride to admit that they might want to join but don’t want to go against their previous bad-mouthing it.

Weapons and equipment:
A dagger. Nothing too fancy, just something they were given by their parents. They “resent the old guys… but at least they had some cool gifts.”
A single wrapped candy
25 coins
A smoke bomb

Personality:
Finn is ambitious and optimistic, and have pride and confidence in themself. They’re stubborn, and can lie their way out of many situations. They can think on their feet, and do their best to hold grudges- not regrets. They always have to get the last word in. They have been described as fiery, but simultaneously clear-headed. They put themself first due to their upbringing, and often don’t realize that they are being selfish.
Dislikes: they often are accidentally racist towards many other races, but don’t notice. They dislike royals. They also view the martial art vertex as being ‘less’ than the others.
History: Finn has an older sister, Allureia, though she isn’t in the picture. Their parents raised them well, but didn’t do the best in terms of social life. Many of Finn’s aforementioned flaws can be accredited to them. Their parents were jailed when they were 14, two months before their birthday. They don’t care enough to try and bail them out.
Their parents raised them on the saying “put yourself first. Worry about the rest later.”

Talents
Lying:
Many people don’t appreciate this talent… but Finn sure does. They can lie their way out of almost anything.
Learning:
Due to having a clear mind and sharp wit, Finn is great at learning. Despite being so stubborn, they know when to shut up and listen- they know firsthand how much you can figure out.
Disguise:
Because of their criminal background, Finn knows how to blend in. This is highly useful for when they want to get out of trouble… or want to get out of anything, really.
Agility:
Due to being part beastman, Finn is very quick and agile.
Drawbacks:
As per being a beastman, they maintain other attributes of being a fox- especially that of being primarily nocturnal. They get very sleepy during the day, and find it difficult to sleep at night. They also find it harder to see during the day, and are particularly sensitive to loud noises.

Techniques
Astral techniques:
Spiritual cleaning
Comet punch
Meteoric kick
Astral projection
Soul invade
Astral studying

Magic techniques:
They haven’t yet been able to master any techniques, but have gotten good at harnessing illusion magic to be almost unregistered by anyone, unless they were actively searching and staring at them.
Misc. info: they enjoy learning magic, but focus on their astral vertex first.

Profession:
None

Other: their parents, Piintory and Graer Syndor, are both well-known criminals. Not because they did any unique things, but because of the high scale of their crimes- specifically thievery.

  "Ah... steady Frostbite, gifted to me by my adoptive father, Grimli before I departed from him. It was forged of runic ice and forged by the hammer of an ice giant. It was meant to be wielded as a dagger for a giant. Instead, it is wielded by me as a greatsword with the length of six feet, end to end. Needless to say, this blade does not melt and all who touch it not named Snow Wolf will feel its chilling presence. It grants me the ability to strike with greater ferocity and upon wounding my opponents, freeze the wound and inflict further internal damage. A nasty effect that is. It makes Frostbite all the more lovely to hold."
  
  
  ​
  
  "The True Polaris, Eye of the North Star, and borne of the truest ice. Sometimes it calls to me - guides me as the north star guides the traveler with its nightly presence. Within me, the True Polaris has granted me the elemental ice qi that triumphs over many a beast and monster. I am the north wind. I am the raging blizzard. I am the tundra. With my right eye, I will peer beyond the sheets of ice and freeze even time, even space."

• 
  Personality: When Zero Dark was still active, Snow Wolf was often described as steadfast, unrelenting, and elegant. She was a woman of poise and posture, carrying herself with a level of calm that to many, appeared regal and svelte. However, those who knew her better understood that deep beneath that cool surface was a wild storm ready to explode and it showed in the way she fought. Snow Wolf was not a kind fighter. She was not merciful. If she drew her blade, this meant she was intent on giving the fight her all. Otherwise, she would simply resort to her fists and hand-to-hand combat. Nevertheless, at the taverns, many enjoyed her warm and friendly company, capturing the hearts of many gentlemen who were swept away by her icy crystalline eyes and her soft, scarlet smile.
  
  Now? The same elegance, the same eyes and smile but none of the fangs that the Snow Wolf once bared. Now, she appeared aloof, carefree, and infectiously disarming. The retired adventurer seemed to carry a sort of hollow love for life, crying out the joys of freedom from an adventurer's responsibilities while refusing the warmth of company and growing eerily quiet upon drinking herself under the table. Suitors still pined for her affection and she enjoyed their attention well enough but to many, she felt unreachable - like some distant ideal. The truth of it was, Snow Wolf simply didn't take interest in anything beyond sweet nothings and flirtatious whispers. And wine of course. Always wine.
  
  Character Goals: "What is there to do other than live out the rest of my days in peaceful repose. Life has treated me well these past 8 years. What reason do I have to disturb that?"
  
  Dislikes: "Bad table manners and ugly people. Really, its not that hard to smile and eat in a cleanly manner."
  
  History:
  Gather ‘round, your skald’s got a story for ye. A tale borne of our steadfast Vetan blood – a warrior fair as the snow, strong as an ox, and radiant as the peak of Vaeneheim. This is the tale of Avalina Soemi, the Snow Wolf of Vetan, Battle Maiden of the Northern Winds. In days of her youth, she knew hardship and strife well. Daughter of Friye and Sigmund, who bore her into the yawning month of the new year, grew strong under the breath of the howling ice giant, Lundir, on the mountain Ungskylle whose jagged cliffs created the pasture that formed her hearth and home. The salt of those black rises nurtured and provided for the goat milk she suckled and received in turn.
  
  Even at such a young age, the young Avalina showed a particular hardiness against the cruel winters and rarely fell ill to the relentless blizzards that battered her home’s stony walls. That is, until the piercing roar of that great wyrm cut through the sky. Fraeghasir, the coiling frost dragon borne of a string of the celestial northern lights who fell after being struck by a bolt of lightning and taking his eye. In his anguish and desire to return to the sky, he terrorized Vetan and so too, was Avalina’s village crushed underfoot. It was then that she was saved by the adventurer Grimli and his blade, Starfire, forged from a meteor of the heavens above. He and his party fended off the foul Fraeghasir and adopted the young Avalina, teaching her the ways of the blade.
  
  In her adolescence, fair Avalina proved proficient in the ways of the sword and under Grimli’s guidance, made her a warrior of Vetan. For nine winters, they traveled together and upon her 17th year, parted ways with Grimli who had since grown old and wise in his years. As a parting gift, he offered Avalina Frostbite, the bone-chilling blade that froze all it touched, cut from the ice atop Vaeneheim and stolen away from Lundir’s forge. This is true, for a giant’s blade had now found itself in the hands of fair Avalina and her Vetan blood bids her to carry it proudly upon her shoulder.
  
  It is here that Avalina earns her name as the Snow Wolf. Alone, she ventured beyond the lands we build our homes and raise our young, north in search of the True Polaris, the eye of the north star, the true ice that freezes all, even space, even time. For five years she searched, felling all manner of beasts and monsters that prowled the cruel landscapes and earning for the first time her name Snow Wolf, the beast who stalks her prey alone in the whirling blizzards. Then, alas, her quarry was found, lodged in the skull of some old titan, was the True Polaris, but it would not hand itself over to her so easily. Nestled within the ancient corpse was a creature of myth - a sky kraken with an endless, immense form that sought to hold fast to its prized treasure. The behemoth called Morgundag. It was a bloody, never ending clash of blade and beast. But when the sky kraken drew its last, it was Avalina, Snow Wolf of Vetan. Now, before her was an artifact too powerful to wield without a cost. Its essence was not meant for mortal hands. Should the Snow Wolf desire to take it into herself, the True Polaris demanded a price to be paid. So, she sacrificed her eye and within the warm-blooded socket, the True Polaris made its home and made Avalina one with the wilds, awakening her qi to the primordial ice. Upon her return, she was known well in Vetan and Plinth as a formidable warrior.
  
  It was then that she was sought out by the party known as Zero Dark in search of a guide through the northern wildlands. Gold Skull, Umbermark, Lapis Blue, and Canary they approached at the behest of Plinth who beseeched their aid in eliminating the dark lich called Aeth in his black tower. Snow Wolf agreed, empowered by her newfound strength and a burning desire to pursue true martial mastery. Onwards they went and there they encountered once more the shadow of Snow Wolf’s childhood, Fraeghasir, who’s breath battered away at them from the peaks of his mountain nest. With great resolve, Snow Wolf slayed the foul wyrm and brought his head low, taking his horns as her prize. Forward they pushed towards the lich and upon reaching his tower, found Aeth’s army of undead prepared to meet them. Up they climbed, felling wave after wave of his pawns until reaching the lich’s final chambers. A battle of epic proportions ensued and lasted through the night but when the dawn swept the land the next morn, Snow Wolf and Zero Dark had emerged victorious.
  
  They returned triumphant to Plinth and spread their fae throughout all the northern lands. Reminded of the joys she had with Grimli, Snow Wolf agreed to depart with Zero Dark and join their company as they travelled the world, slaying monsters and villains alike across the land. For two decades, Zero Dark and Snow Wolf reached new heights. For her part, her mastery of the martial arts became formidable and among the greatest with True Polaris and Frostbite in hand. Her bond with the other members Zero Dark grew and they became a found family with the utmost trust and respect for each other. Together, there was no battle they could not win. That is, until the day Gold Skull led Zero Dark in a challenge against the Grand Ten.
  
  Canary, Lapis Blue, Snow Wolf, and Umbermark were all felled by their opponents save for one. Gold Skull, the greatest among them, bested one of the Grand Ten named Matias Mordin. He assumed his spot among the Grand Ten and brought Zero Dark to world renown. True to his name, it was the golden age for this brazen, bold, motley family. Snow Wolf knew much joy in her life and her name stopped seeming like a lone predator and more like a protective pack mother. Then the day came when the fates sealed their downfall.
  
  The call came for Zero Dark to pursue and eliminate a creature of such evil and cruelty that kingdom’s shivered in its wake. Eldiria Vox, too blackhearted for this world or the next, threatened to tear civilization asunder. It was Zero Dark that rose to challenge this unknowable evil but alas, the party had met its match. Eldiria Vox spoke and power came to be. Canary was blind, Lapis Blue was shaken, Snow Wolf was enfeebled, Umbermark was pinned, and Gold Skull made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure their survival. He offered his life and in turn, sealed Eldiria Vox into his ephemeral prison. Wounded and grieving, Zero Dark crawled out of the tomb of their hearts and re-emerged, never to be the same. Canary, stricken with trauma, fear, and sadness, folded her robes and departed, leaving Zero Dark a shell of its former self. Without Gold Skull in the Grand Ten, Matias Mordin quickly retook his seat and Zero Dark tumbled down from their pedestal. Their nights ceased to be joyful, their missions ceased to be adventurous. Lapis Blue, understanding his days have passed him by, departed next and applied himself instead as a teacher at Otli Academy, leaving Snow Wolf and Umbermark as the sole remaining members of Zero Dark.
  
  Umbermark became singularly obsessed with avenging Gold Skull and claiming a Grand Ten seat for himself. For Snow Wolf, the happiness she once knew was gone. Her family was gone. All that was left was the bitter anger of Umbermark and in turn, it brought to her a hollow heart. Eventually, she could take it no longer. A feud erupted between Snow Wolf and Umbermark and the two fought on the cliffs on the Epica Straight overlooking the Spiraling Sea. Zero Dark was no more. Snow Wolf departed from Umbermark and she eventually hung up her career as an adventurer.
  
  This was eight years ago. Now, in the Robicc Capital, Snow Wolf is the retired adventurer who sits as an examiner at the local guild. No more, no less. For her, all that mattered was comfort. No more quests. No more monsters. Only wine, taverns, and the occasional sweet nothings she exchanged with gentlemen that captured her fancy. That is, until a spot opened in the Grand Ten. Knowing fully that Umbermark would enter into the Grand Tournament, Snow Wolf took some leave from her work and traveled south to the Great Cauldron Spire to observe the tournament from the sidelines. That is where her story ends… or… begins anew.

And I'm warm. And I would hear the voices of the people I loved. Laughing and joking. I wish I could still hear them. The fire is growing smaller and the storm is growing colder. I... I wish I could hear them again.
  
  The only defense Snow Wolf has in her Inner Spiritual World is the storm itself. It will protect Snow Wolf by hiding the location of the campfire. If one remains in the inner world and refuses to leave, the storm will freeze its target alive.

  Name: Vanta Onyx

  Height: 5’11
  Gender: Female
  Race: Human
  Political Status: Commoner

  Evocation, Elemental, Manipulation & Projection.
  Currently researching Restoration and Enchanting.
  Symmetrical Rings.
  Vanta is seeking to understand exactly how mana and magic works. What is mana, where it comes from, and trying to figure out how science correlates with magic, Qi, and Astral abilities.
  
• 
  A wand as her focus, an over the shoulder satchel and a broom.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  Personality: ”Knowledge is power.”
  
  The saying that Vanta lives and breathes by. This individual is uncaring about those around her, seeing them as a means to an end. A tool. If she has use for someone, Vanta will treat them just slightly better than others. If not, she will be civil. The least civil one can remain within the definition of the word. Often annoyed and frustrated when addressed by anyone she doesn’t care for, she comes off as cold and uncaring to most. For those she tries to keep a decent connection with, her attempts at being a little more nice than civil can come off as creepy, even manipulative. She is a person very little have the courage to approach due to her demeanor and the aura she exudes.
  
  Vanta will treat people with respect if she sees them as an equal, or smarter than herself. But if they are under that threshold, she cares little, if at all, for them. She holds knowledge in the highest regard, and does nothing but attempt to acquire as much as she can for herself. She wants to push the boundary wherever possible, seeing morals as an obstacle standing in the way of magical and scientific progress.
  
  Vanta cares little, if at all, for the current wars/kingdoms/politics. She has taken no side at the moment and wishes to remain neutral, even if she is pro-war in most cases. It will only breed stronger people. Stronger people are better for a race’s survival, after all.
  
  Character Goals: Vanta is seeking to understand exactly how mana and magic works. What is mana, where it comes from, and trying to figure out how science correlates with magic, Qi, and Astral abilities. She wants as much knowledge as physically possible housed within her head.
  
  Dislikes: Chocolate, anyone weaker or less smart than herself, sleeping, lazy people, animals.
  
  History: Vanta was born to human parents at the Great Cauldron Spire. Growing up, there was little to nothing extraordinary happening in her life. No tragedies and no real excitement. No highs and no lows. Growing up researchers and people who only cared about magic rubbed off on Vanta. She became similar. Apathetic. Uncaring. Research and getting a deeper understanding of magic was all she cared about. She wasn’t particularly close to anyone after she learned to read, just spending her time reading and learning.
  Her parents were more or less similar, however they really did care for their daughter. But the environment wasn’t made for a child. The talk was always about magic, meaning it’s all Vanta was exposed to. She became obsessed, just as children raised in the church became obsessed with their religion.
  When she was a teenager, her father got caught up in a monster attack. Vanta could have saved him, but her stance on the weak die, the strong live stopped her. If he couldn’t take care of himself, he wasn’t strong enough to live. So, he ended up passing away. Her mother disowned her, but Vanta didn’t care. She was 16 at this point and didn’t need family. She needed knowledge. Experience.
  Vanta packed her things and left to join the guild. She would do odd jobs and continue furthering her skill and knowledge of magic.

  Magic Abilities
  
  Evocation:
  “Magical Manipulation” allows Vanta to shape and use raw magical energy in many ways. A large, concentrated blast, many small missiles, a wall of magical energy, etc.
  
  “Mana Misdirection” allows Vanta to saturate someone or something with mana, causing them to seem like they are much more powerful or have a much bigger mana store than they really do.
  
  Elemental:
  “Sparkling Stone” let’s Vanta use the earth and bring minerals, stones, and gemstones to the surface to use how she pleases. Whether it be creating walls, sending stalactites and stalagmites flying at her opponents, she can do many kinds of things with this.
  
  “Cascading Current” let’s Vanta do the same thing, but with water and ice. She can move it freely from a pre-existing source or draw moisture out of the air.
  
  “Whipping Winds” gives Vanta control of the air currents around her where she can create gale force winds. Not anything to pick people up and throw them, but to knock them over or make them lower their stance to stay planted.
  
  “Hellish Heat” gives Vanta control of fire and flame.
  
  Manipulation:
  “Mind Over Matter” allows Vanta to use telekinesis on smaller and lighter objects. She uses this to get from place to place on her broom most of the time.
  
  Projection:
  “Pupil’s Perception” is the spell that lets Vanta create illusions that can defy the senses. Anything Vanta has seen before or picture clearly in her mind, she can conjure up.
  
  “Defensive Duties” allows Vanta to project shields, barries, and other forms of protection against physical and psychological attacks.
  
  Unique Magic
  “Unknown Variables” is what Vanta calls when she mixes these spells to gain multiple or new effects.

[Hvnny-Bvns0]

An NPC! I wasn’t sure where to put this, so I figured I’d put it here. He’s Gemllin’s disciple.


Ourell Blaik
Ourell is a committed mage. He has been studying it all his life, and has no intent of giving it up. A greedy young man who often lets it get in his way, few can deny that he was born to be Avryss’s disciple. An arrogant hot-shot who’s not afraid of playing dirty, Ourell has a way of capturing and charming a crowd.

Throughout his time as Avryss’s deciple, he has been taught to use his elemental magic to control precious metals, and make them apart of him. Though he was never taught the latter thoroughly, due to Avryss’s own pride. Ourell quickly learned to integrate this into his fighting style, and has covered his horns- one of which is broken- in gold, using what he learned.

A fiend, who possesses a venomous barb at the end of his tail.

Vertix

5 Ring Penta mage. Interlocking rings. Specializes in (mind) enchanting magic, but uses his third school for elemental magic.
