Ready for duty, sir.

Spoiler: Aisha Rose

​

|Name: Aisha Rose
|Alias: White Shadow
|Rank: Footman
------------------
|Race: Human
|Gender: female
|Age: 21
|Personality: Aisha is rather stoic in her demeanor. Despite that, she's actually enjoy joking around and playing games with her friends.

She avoid any battle if possible. Trying to de-escalate the situation before she really need to draw her sword.
------------------
|===Abilities=====|
|- Aisha's sight is heavily blurred, but her other senses has been honed to extreme level. She has acute smelling and hearing. Using the vibration and echoes that she make, she can scans her surrounding to detect position and movement of almost anything. Whether this condition is a natural defect or related to her exposure to black magic is unknown.
|===Equipment=====|
|- A long sword and a dagger. She also has plenty of cloaks in her wardrobe, each with different color. Her boots have a harder soles than normal boots. A white whistle is hung on her belts.
------------------
|Backstory: Twenty years ago there was a cult revolved around summoning a demonic figure called Azoth. One of the cult's ritual was human sacrifice by dumping a 'purified' baby into the seemingly bottomless abyss.

The day when baby Aisha was dumped into the abyss was the day when the royal church decided to knock their door and purge the cults out of existence. Some of the priests took initiative to save the dumped baby, which miraculously end up in success despite some loss.

According to the rules, the baby should be taken under the care of the church. Due to the fact that the baby had been touched by black magic and the disdain from some priest that lose their comrades when saving the baby from the abyss, they decided to put the baby in another orphanage. This one wasn't owned by the church but by someone named Elizabeth Rose.

Aisha got her name in this orphan. This was also where her eyesight start to function less and less until she can't rely on her eyesight alone. She carries around a staff to help her navigate and avoid obstacle, she didn't want to break another expensive-looking vase.

Master Shuten was a famous swordmaster at that time. It is said that he always end a fight in less than one attack. He came to the Rose's orphan and picked Aisha to be adopted. His reason was simple, he was blind so he felt some connection with the kid.

The man didn't come to look for a child to care though. He was looking for an apprentice. He didn't even bother to give Aisha a new surname. Under his guidance Aisha became a good swordswoman. This period was also the time when she really honed her other senses to the point that she could senses those ants carrying some food in the distance.

When Aisha is at age of 20, Master Shuten die in a fight. Aisha was the only witness of that fight but she never said anything to anyone about what really happened. She then worked as a waitress in a tavern before the army finally open their recruitment.

|Reason for joining the Imperial Army: She think she's better at handling sword than handling costumers in the tavern. Her blurred vision make it harder for her to read the mood.

|===Extras=====|
|- not yet, but I already have some development route in mind.

 

[AnthraxBurrito]

Spoiler: Kaezar

Name: Kaezar Bel

Alias: ‘The Barfly Battlemage’

Age: 28

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Rank: Corporal

Ability: Shield Magic - able to create a magical shield at moments notice. Can be as small as covering one body part, up to a small forcefield capable of surrounding a small group of people.

Appearance:

Personality: A highly dedicated, unmotivated, drunk, with a knack for combat. Having had everything taken away, he now buries his woes in the bottle or in the bodies of his enemies. Though internally he struggles with his loss of religion and unwavering loneliness, he is seen by peers and friends as just a drunk with a blessing.

Reason(s) for Joining: His father gave his life serving the Empire. He hopes to see the land where his mother’s side of the family comes from, as well as learn about their culture.

Backstory: His mother would be called a druid in some cultures, priestess in others, and witch by more. She met his father while he was sent as part of the unit to scout her homeland for invasion. They would fall in love and he would eventually have her and their young son smuggled into the empire. When Kaezar’s magical abilities began show themselves, his mother would be the first to find out. She believed his magical abilities are that of divine blessing. His father believed it to be divine blessing, from an entirely different deity, but his father was never there to speak his opinion, as he was off serving the Empire.

Though he asked constantly throughout his childhood, Kaezar was never able to learn about his mother’s ancestors or homeland, leaving him to ponder about his origins. He was raised on the most common religion in the Empire, and many priests and holy figures have raised him to believe that his power stem from the almighty. But as if only to make him question evrything more, his mother eventually broke her two decade silence about her past. She explained to him that it is in fact her people's god who has blessed him with his abilities. This being the first bit of any information he gets about the land in which he was born. This contradiction broke what faith he had. Watching his mother be lynched in front of him while the crowd scream heretic proved the magic was not divine, but rather a curse.

Kaezar has served since enlisting at 22, after the death of his mother. Its well known the only thing keeping him from promotion is himself, as he has the experience and skill, but would rather drink and talk to local whores. His ability to battle and bar hop has earned him his proud nickname. He has been promoted a couple times as he has stepped up and proved himself on occasion, showing the great potential he holds. Most of his superiors have lost hope he will ever apply himself, and are surprised he has stayed as long as he has.

Extra: Kaezar wants to know where magic really comes from and if the god(s) chose him, why?

Equipment: Canthan light armor / One handed Maul / Bow & 40 Arrows / Backpack / Rations / Torch / Emergency Booze

 

[Xenobiology]

Spoiler: Aeson Yera-Azar

|Name: Aeson Yera-Azar
|Alias: The Fire Hazard
|Rank: Footman
------------------
|Race: Koray Elf; A species of elven kind known primarily for their dark black horns and eyes that have no discernible difference from the pupil and iris which look much like the moon. Koray Elves have good night vision and can be observed with the same type of tapetum lucidum that felines normally have. They're native to mountainous regions and have a heavy standing culture that revolves around family traditions and respecting one's elders as well as bringing pride to their family.
|Gender: Female
|Age: 20
|Appearance: Aeson is a young Koray woman with dark skin and black hair. Her eyes are a pale white and her horns are slightly curved and coming from just above her temples. She keeps her hair just to her chin in length so as to keep it safe from the fire she creates. She's commonly seen wearing a black and violet-blue hooded tunic with a pair or flared black pants and a thick belt that holds her belongings on it. Aeson also wears fire proof gloves with the very tips of the fingers cut off so as to help with her dangerous magic. Said gloves may or may not cover burn scars...
|Personality: Intelligent and stubborn, Aeson is a force to be reckoned with. She learned a lot about magic and the Army from her family and she's incredibly determined to make them proud. Despite this fiery passion and resolve, Aeson has her worries and concerns. She's frequently unsteady with her fire and has a bit of a temper issue which can cause dangerous flare ups from her magic. She also is a fair bit stressed with the pressure put on her from expectations. However, Aeson consistently tries to keep up a calm and collected manner which can make her seem a bit stand-offish if she's not careful.
------------------
|===Abilities=====|
|- Aeson is a Fire Starter. She has the ability to start an manipulate fire, however it is still very much able to burn her and she needs a flammable or combustible material to start a fire, else it'll die out without the fuel.
|===Equipment=====|
|- A small flask of alcohol she uses for fire starting, fire proof gloves with the tips cut off, a small hand crossbow and 40 bolts in case she can't cast her fire, rations, burn salve... just in case, and a gold medallion with her family's crest on it.
------------------
|Backstory: Aeson grew up in an influential Koray family. Her mother had been apart of the Imperial Army before her birth and her father was a wealthy man who studied magic for a living. It came as an unspoken thing that Aeson would join the Army. It was just simply something the Yera-Azar family did. However, Aeson had something most of her family did not. She was born a Fire Starter and has consistently struggled to keep her abilities in check since they showed themselves when she was just 8. This never stopped her from using her magic, however, and just fueled her fire (pun intended) to keep learning and practicing. When she hit 20 she headed off from home to join the Army and become something her family could pride themselves in.
|Reason for joining the Imperial Army: Joined to follow the footsteps of her family who have had a long history of joining the army. Specifically, her mother was the last one in her family to join before she had to step down after the birth of Aeson.
-------------------------------
|===Extras=====|
|- I'd be a fair bit interested in seeing how her family's legacy might put expectations on her, but besides that I'm just excited to be here. :3

 

[Nenma Takashi]

----------------

|Name: Victoria Baliston

|Alias: Deadeye Victoria

|Rank: Footman

------------------

|Race: Human

|Gender: Female

|Age: 21

|Personality: Victoria is a risk taking and a thrill seeker looking for difficult situations to put herself into only to fight her way out of them. She enjoys nothing more than snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. She also loves to pick off enemies who have turned to retreat seeing them as the funniest targets to hit. Victoria is a jokester almost never knowing when to keep her mouth shut. Finding a joy in being a pest to those who she knows dislikes her company. Despite her sadistic nature she is a person of ideals and has morals. She can’t stand the idea of betrayal or biting the hand that feeds you. To her it is the greatest sin to turn your back on those who trust you.

------------------

|===Abilities=====|

|- Arrow Creation-Victoria can create arrows out of pure energy, with this she's almost never out of ammo, the downside being she can't create a bow so without one she can't fire the arrows, she also doesn't have an endless supply and will eventually run out of energy to make arrows.

|===Equipment=====|

|- Longbow with quiver holding 30 arrows, Dagger, Light leather armor

------------------

|Backstory: Hailing from a village that excel at hunting it’s no wonder why Victoria is such a crack shot with a bow. Even among her peers she was an ace with a bow able to hunt any animal she set her sights on. Victoria was often called a prodigy and praised by the adults in the village which earned her the scorn of kids her age. Due to this she was isolated but rather then feel sorry for herself Victoria simply set out to improve her skills in order to rub in the face of those who mocked her. Coming from a hunting village there came times where money would get tight in these cases Victoria always saw how her parents struggled to make sure they had enough money for them to eat, often finding out they skipped meals to ensure she could eat. With this in mind Victoria swore to herself that she’d repay her parents for this kindness in whatever way she could.

|Reason for joining the Imperial Army: Victoria hopes joining the army can help improve her archery skills and also supply a steady supply of money.
