  Name: Marcus Cormac
  
  Nickname: Master, Mac, MSG 37-86948-17823-023-MC
  
  Prior Occupation: CNE Marine Corps Master Sergeant
  
  Class: Commando
  
  Age: 34
  
  Year of Birth: 2163
  
  Race: Human
  
  Gender: Male
  
  Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
  
  Magical Affinity: 3
  
  Physical Appearance: Cormac has a stocky build, with toned and trained muscles from his years as a soldier. His skin is rough and calloused, with many scars dotting his body. A more notable scar is on his chest right next to his heart, where he had taken a piece of shrapnel to the location that barely missed severing his aorta by mere millimetres. His hair is a deep black and kept short as per military regulation, and is typically messy due to him wearing his helmet most of the time anyway. A fair amount of stubble covers his lower face. His eyes are a piercing blue that have clearly seen years of combat, yet also have strategy behind them.
  
  Height: 6'3"
  
  Features: Numerous scars from combat

  Personality
  
  + Authoritative
  + Dutiful
  + Experienced
  + Dependable
  + Tactical
  
  - Gruff
  - Unapproachable
  - Not very diplomatic
  - Sometimes overzealous
  
  Cormac can only be described as gruff. On the battlefield, he has a no-nonsense attitude, prioritising the mission above all else, and executing it in a textbook fashion. He radiates authority and experience from his years of service, and he commands his subordinates in a manner that many would only dream of. Cormac is also extremely regimented and disciplined, sticking to a strict regular schedule that he seldom deviates from. To add to this, he rarely seems to smile or joke, and his stony expression combined with him being overall quite menacing makes him quite unapproachable at first glance.
  
  However, he does care deeply for his men, and takes the time to know them even if he is a sink-or-swim type mentor. When off-duty he makes it a point to go drinking with his unit, and will swap war stories with them over beers. Cormac has a strong sense of duty to the CNE and to Earth, and often has open disdain for those who choose to embark on the colony ships to distant worlds. Still, he does know that the Earth had already been suffering from overpopulation, resource shortages, and climate crises, so it made sense that they would leave. Cormac would still rather live, fight, and die on Earth than elsewhere, however.
  
  Calm even in the face of danger, Cormac has led his men to victory countless times.
  
  Bio.
  
  Born in a military base in Kansas, North American Union in 2163 to a family who had been in the military for generations, Marcus Cormac's future was essentially already decided for him. Not that he had any objections, of course. His father was in the NAU Marine Corps, as was his father before, all the way to his great ancestors in the Marine Corps of the NAU's predecessor, the United States of America. His mother was not much different, also having been in the military, primarily the air forces. He along with his two older brothers were raised from birth to be in the military, going to prestigious military schools where the learned the tools of war.
  
  By the time he was a teenager his brothers had already enlisted in the Marines, this time in the corps of the newly-formed Consolidated Nations of Earth, where the greatest sovereign nations of the world had come together as one following the discovery of the faster-than-light engine, only known as the Torsion Drive. By then humanity was already going interstellar, travelling dozens of lightyears within several months to distant worlds and setting up colonies away from Earth. Millions of people had signed up to leave the planet to begin a new life elsewhere.
  
  Cormac was never comfortable with the concept, as in his mind he was always loyal to Earth as it was where he was born and bred, and that went for all of humanity. In the wake of the Consolidation much of the Earth's population had been thrown into disarray, with groups and even whole nations refusing to surrender their sovereignty. The years that followed were chaos as the newly-formed CNE organised itself into a proper governing body. This period was known as the Consolidation Wars. The chaos meant that there was always demand for peacekeepers, and that was what he was.
  
  At the age of 18 in 2181, Cormac enlisted into the CNE Marine Corps, and eventually saw his first taste of combat when he was deployed to the unstable region of Central Asia. There he fought against rebel forces who still resisted the yoke of a united Earth. There he performed exceptionally, and he was awarded for his bravery and combat prowess. From there he rose up the ranks and was recommended by his superiors to join the Special Strike Reconnaissance, an elite formation of special operations forces that recruited only the best of the best. The SSR was deployed against the toughest of enemies that the regular forces would have significant trouble against.
  
  The induction into the SSR was already especially gruelling, with it seeing a dropout rate of up to 99%. Those who pass are officially part of the SSR, and one of the most famed formations in the entirety of the CNE's military forces. Members of the CNE are given special equipment, such as their unique and highly-advanced armoured Rigs. They are trained to handle the most brutal of battles and win.
  
  The year 2190 saw some of the bloodiest fighting between the CNE and the various rebel groups. A faction of rebels had captured a major spaceport and took many hostages, and demanded their freedom of they would destroy the spaceport and everyone in it. In response the SSR was deployed, and Cormac, then a staff sergeant, was deployed on the incredibly high-risk mission. He was tasked with leading his squad against the rebels, and he knew that he could not fail. Together with the rest of the unit, he battled the rebels for hours, but he was the one who broke through their defenses and stormed the control room where they were hunkered down. There he dealt the killing blow, eliminating the rebel leader. His actions had saved the port and the hundreds in it.
  
  Cormac continued to see action through the final decade of the 22nd century. In 2197, now a master sergeant, he was deployed into the heart of Africa, one of the most unstable regions on Earth to take out a wanted rebel mastermind. However, the rebels turned out to be far more prepared than anticipated, and heavy fighting ensued. The battle itself would result in heavy casualties, and Cormac would be killed in action after a furious final stand against overwhelming odds.
  
  
• 
  
  Equipment:
  
  • M49A2: The standard-issue assault rifle issued to the Marine Corps, and one of the most widely-used assault rifles in the CNE. It is highly modular and versatile, along with packing a punch. The M49A2 fired high-velocity 6.8mm caseless full metal jacket rounds, with a magazine size of 48. The rifle performs well at close to medium ranges. The one Cormac uses has a 35mm smart grenade launcher that can home into targets before detonating.
  • P423: An extremely common sidearm issued to military and security forces, the P423 is a reliable handgun that is easy to use. It is light and compact and can be quickly drawn. The pistol is chambered for 5.7mm high-velocity rounds.
  • Special Operations Combat Knife: A combat knife with a large blade issued to SSR members. It functions as both a weapon and a utility tool.
  • HUSMER SSR Assault Rig: An advanced variant of Combat Rigs, the SSR Assault Rig is, as the name suggests, designed specifically for SSR members. It packs the most cutting-edge technology such as advanced sensors and protection, allowing it to resist enemy fire and damage. The Rig has also equipped with a shoulder-mounted micromissile launcher. It is synced to Cormac's neural implant.
  • Combat Neural Implant: Implated directly into Cormac's brain, the CNI allows him to more effectively control his Rig, along with feeding him data as a heads-up display.
  Human Strength and Mobility Enhancement Rig (HUSMER)
  
  More commonly known simply as Rigs, HUSMERs are powered exoskeletons worn over the body that multiply the strength and mobility of its user. They are commonly used by work crews to lift heavy weights that would either be impossible or extremely difficult to accomplish with baseline human strength. Rigs are designed to be highly customisable and modular, and can be extensively modified, with there being variants for each specialisation, and can mount external weapons and other equipment. Most standard Rigs are powered by long-lasting lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries that can go an extended period without needing to recharge. These batteries can be charged with solar power using photosynthetic solar cells integrated into the Rig's exterior.
  
  Military Rigs include modular armour that protects the user from kinetic and chemical impacts while standard utility ones are fairly basic skeletal frames.
  
  Treasured Possession: A cache of weapons and ammo. You can't fight without bullets, and that is why this is Cormac's Treasured Possession. It takes the form of a standard military weapons crate containing several weapons and extra ammunition. Of particular note is a shotgun he has become quite intimately familiar with, and is one of his weapons of choice when the situation calls for it.
  
  Skills & Abilities:
  
  • Mundane
    
    • Combat Mastery: Given Cormac's many years in the Marines, he has seen his fair share of combat, and as such has gained plenty of experience. He is able to handle and fire his weapon like a seasoned veteran would, and is also highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat. This also includes his tactical skills, being able to think on his feet and make quick decisions in the heat of battle.
  • Magic
    • Battle Rage: Boosts Cormac's strength and surrounds him in a protective layer of energy, allowing him to charge headfirst into the enemy. In addition, it also enhances his weapons, making them do damage due to them being infused with magic. Essentially, this ability turns him into a sort of berserker, allowing him to both tank and deal considerably amounts of damage.
  
  Combat Proficiency: 9 (15+ year combat veteran)

FLYNN HAAS

FYI, the picture below is the original inspiration for Flynn but not what he looks like in this RP. He’s an old character I’m revamping, but obviously in this RP there’s no turning into an angel after death, so… This is the inspiration for Flynn but does not represent this RP’s version of him.

Spoiler: Original inspiration for Flynn

Desolate Angel by ikeda

Current art AI is very problematic, but there’s not a lot of good art references for Flynn’s profession, so… I really like how the headshot turned out, though most AI generators don’t allow the term Nazi, so ignore the sci-fi armor.

Spoiler: Alt. Image: Nazi/Anime AI version via Corrosion

“Is this how we make ourselves great—by destroying everything deemed inferior? If so, it is a philosophy I cannot live by.”

  Name: Flynn Haas
  
  Nickname: N/A
  
  Prior Occupation: German soldier (Waffen-SS)/concentration camp guard, anti-Nazi spy
  
  Class: N/A
  
  Age: 27
  
  Year of Birth: 1916
  
  Race: Human
  
  Gender: Male
  
  Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
  
  Magical Affinity: 3
  
  Physical Appearance:
  Blue eyes, blonde hair (which will be shaved at the beginning, but he will be growing it out), muscular (though malnourished from the last few weeks of his life).
  
  Starting clothes will be his prisoner uniform. The jacket, trousers, and cap are all white with blue stripes. All three pieces have two patches—a white patch with Flynn’s prisoner number written in black (403,207*), and underneath that an upright red triangle, to signify he is a military criminal/spy. His shoes are leather clogs.
  
  Seeing as this is not an idle clothing situation, Flynn will be quick to secure new clothing. This consists of a long-sleeved brown shirt, dark gray trousers, and brown boots.
  
  Height: 5'10"
  
  Features:
  He was heavily injured and disfigured in the weeks leading up to his death, but most of the damage has healed as if it was never there in the first place. A few scars do remain, the most notable of which is across his left eye (though his vision has been restored).
  
  He also has several small scars from his time in the military. On the underside of his left arm is a small tattoo of his blood type (A), which also identifies him as part of the German Waffen-SS.

  *Using a high number to avoid taking a real person's number.
  
  
• 
  
  Personality
  + Determined, + Loyal (to his moral compass, and to those who align with said compass), + Dependable, + Puts the mission first, - Puts the mission first, - Doesn’t trust easily, - Loathes himself, - Abrasive, - Occasional mood swings (stemming from PTSD)
  
  This might be more of neutral, but… - Does what is asked of him—no more, no less.
  
  Flynn is going to be suffering some major PTSD in the beginning, as well as trying to figure out his identity now that he is no longer in the Nazi culture/military. He speaks only when he deems it necessary, and he never volunteers info about himself or his past life. He rather forget the horrors, though he also knows he never will.
  
  Bio.
  
  Flynn was born in the midst of WWI, while his father was off fighting in the trenches for Germany. Even with his father’s safe return after the war’s end, life was difficult for Flynn and his family, just as it was for all of Germany. When the Nazi party emerged, Flynn’s father was quick to support them and Himmler (and later Hitler). As such, Flynn supported them too, eager to see Germany rise back to its former glory and to see the threat of communism vanquished.
  
  At 18, Flynn was able to fulfill the strict requirements of the Waffen-SS, and so he joined them. Most of the “training” involved heavy indoctrination, though combat skills were also learned. During the four-year commitment, however, he began to question the brutality of the SS and its leaders, as well as the direction Germany was heading. Kristallnacht was the final push he needed, for this was not the great Germany he had envisioned, but a dangerous monster.
  
  He stayed in the SS, gathering intel, and passing it on to others who were anti-Nazi. He saw combat as Germany invaded Poland. After that, however, he was enlisted as a concentration camp guard, and that is where he stayed until betrayed by a fellow spy in 1943.
  
  Flynn was interrogated and tortured for several weeks, but while he gave up some intel, he refused to give the Gestapo any intel on fellow spies. Finally, he was brought before a firing squad and shot…
  
  …Only to find himself alive and well, without bonds or a blindfold, and in a new location.
  
  
• 
  
  Equipment: Nothing.
  
  Treasured Possession: A pocket-sized Bible his mother gave him when he left home.
  
  Skills & Abilities:
  Spy skills: Excellent liar/actor, good memory, observant, great at shorthand and writing in code
  
  Weapon Summoning: Can summon any weapon he’s previously touched, though it requires less energy/focus if he owns the weapon/it is close by. Also, this does not work across worlds (so no summoning guns, etc.).
  
  Has a wind affinity, but he can really only do two things with it.
  
  Wind Gusts: Can create a focused blast of wind, which can be used to attack, defend, or even propel himself. It does require a physical thrust to activate (a punch, kick, etc.) and is a short blast, rather than prolonged.
  
  Air Wisps: A weak power, but can play with the air, causing small, light breezes—such as stirring a pile of leaves, causing a branch to wobble, ruffling hair, etc. Not useful for much, but the soft play can be calming for his PTSD.
  
  Combat Proficiency: 6, as he’s experienced some combat—though most of his acts of violence have been against those not in a position to give a fair fight (or a fight at all), and the SS didn’t exactly perform well in the invasion of Poland. Specific combat skills are firearms, grenades, knives, and boxing.
  
  
• 
  
  As a way to distance himself from both his time as a POW and as a Nazi soldier, he wants his hair to grow out. Short hair bothers him, to the point he almost wants to yank it out but doing so will just reset the hair growth process (and bring flashbacks to POW times).
  
  When he’s not in mission mode, Flynn finds nature calming and beautiful.
  
  Working with his hands might be another way to work through his negative emotions, such as painting, repetitive physical training, etc.

• 
  
  Equipment: Armor of bronze and linothorax. A lance of wood and good bronze. A short dagger, in case the fighting presses close.
  
  Treasured Possession: The Sword of the Heraclides. Said to have been the personal blade of Heracles himself, an heirloom passed between Hellene kings. Some say it has borne into battle since the days of Troy, and shed the blood of monsters and heroes alike. It has passed from hand to hand and bloodline to bloodline over the course of history, oft by conquest, other times freely given. Of late, it was taken by Alexandros when he united Greece as the symbol of his authority.
  
  Skills & Abilities: Mundane skills along with more supernatural abilities. Abilities may be listed down for Heroes, although they will not start with them.
  
  The Great Conqueror (Mundane): Alexandros is a man who has conquered the world in many histories. This Alexandros is not any different in that regard. He is a general without compare, impossibly charismatic in respect to the leading of men, with an incredibly keen mind for tactics. He is also competent at the management of logistics and strategy, and merely decent at internal politics and such affairs of state. The strength of his mind is in conquering opponents many times his number and strength with his incredible understanding of the battlefield, able to pick out which units will break and which hold fast, what fights will bring victory, and what fights are destined for defeat. Many battles he won long before the last enemy flank buckled, by out-maneuvering the foe into an impossible battle.
  
  First of the Companions (Mundane): In every battle, he rode with his Companion Cavalry, oft at the tip of the spear. Because of this, he is a highly skilled and talented warrior, whether horsed or unhorsed. But those skills alone did not make him a legend. Perhaps his greatest talent is his understanding of timing. He knew exactly when the charge would inflict maximal damage upon the enemy, when he had to intervene to prevent his army from breaking, when to withdraw and when to hold firm in spite of the odds. He carries with him this intuition into battles with impossible foes.
  
  Bucephalus Keraunos (Ability): Alexandros's bond with his steed seems to extend beyond death itself. Alexandros can summon a horse of solid lightning, in the image of his beloved Bucephalus. It serves as an adequate mount, and is far stronger than any living steed. It is practically tireless, and every kick of its hooves delivers an electrical shock to his foes. It is, in some ways, the perfect horse. To Alexandros, it was always the perfect horse, now it is simply moreso.
  
  The Son of Zeus (Ability): Alexandros was said to be of the bloodline of Zeus, and his family were counted among the Heraclides, those descendants of Heracles according to myth and legend. In this strange world, thunder and lightning are his allies; he can infuse his weapons with thunderous force to discharge powerful shocks into his foes, and shape lightning into blasts to strike his opponents from existence. This also allows him to unleahs shockwaves of thunder, whether to make his voice bearable to all on the battlefield, or to blow opponents away.

  Name: Calliope Valewyn
  
  Nickname: Calli, Maiden of the Mists
  
  Class: Arcane Warrior
  
  Age: 28
  
  Race: Corrupted Human
  
  Gender: Female
  
  Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
  
  Magical Affinity: 10
  
  Physical Appearance:
  Calliope has a tall, willowy frame, accented with various splotches of blackened skin from which feathers protrude. Her eyes are a pale blue, but often fill in entirely black when she uses her magic. Her hair is long and straight, often adorned with various black feathers which stick out at odd ends. Her attire is practical adventuring gear, worn over the tattered remains of the ornate dress she wore into the Wellspring. The fabric has fused to her skin in places, the divide marked by thick plumage.
  
  Height: 6'0
  
  Features:
  Various scars and featherless patches, from encounters with bandits and other survivors.
  
• 
  
  Personality
  Curious and cruel, Calliope has lost touch with her sense and urgency and righteousness. She truly believes the realm is beyond saving, and everyone would be better off accepting that rather then fighting against the inevitable. Her intensely pessimistic attitude is not helped by her blunt and sarcastic attitude. After all, why bother cultivating friendships at the end of the world?
  
  +Calm under pressure +Straightforward +Pragmatic
  
  --Apathetic --Self Destructive --Cold
  
  Bio:
  
  Prior to the world falling to ruin at the hands of the demonic onslaught, Calliope lived a relatively carefree life in Syren, a sprawling city- nation located on a plateau within the ancient Oreith Mountains. It was there she trained in the ancient magic and combat arts, all in the name of protecting the city's renowned treasure.
  The Wellspring. A pool of magic incarnate, located within a rocky cavern and the subject of countless legends. The pool was protected by members of the ancient monastic order the city was named after. The leader of which Ulrich Malstrom, was the father of Calliope's lover, a spirited mage scholar named Annalise. A gifted mage in her own right, Annalise was hailed as prodigy, someone blessed with otherworldly images when immersed in the Wellspring.
  
  Outside of a handful of select elders, no one was permitted to see the Wellspring, which made it all the more exciting when Annalise would sneak her into the grotto. There were few things Calliope loved more then to bear witness to Annalise's sheer talent and joy. Communing with the Wellspring allowed Annalise to catches glimpses into realms beyond their understanding and time. Calliope couldn't understand much of it, but Annalise's sheer joy and wonder was enough for Calli. The pair spent many years together, Calli honing her skills while Annalise delved into the secrets the Wellspring had to share.
  
  Of course this peace was shattered when the demons attacked. Calliope was but one of many warriors sent to join the alliance championed by Irdonia. She fought tooth and nail against the demonic force, always returning home beaten down and exhausted, only to be reinvigorated by her love. Returning home to Annalise, even as their homeland faced famine and illness in the wake of the demons attacking. The pair made a promise, that no matter how dire the situations may grow, they'd always return to one another, and never stop fighting.
  
  Annalise made good on this promise following the death of her father, making her the leader of Syren, she assumed her father's role in the resistance movement. Annalise and Calliope were both in Irodina when the Sundering took place The widescale counter attack which devastated the resistance's forces, rending the entire movement impudent. Annalise was killed, and Calliope mortally wounded. Annalise's final act had been to save her life, utilizing the raven familiar whom Annalise had contracted years prior. Using the bird allowed her to teleport the wounded Calliope back home. Surviving the ordeal meant little in the wake of all that was lost.
  
  Losing Annalise was the first of many losses, as Syren was quick to fall soon after. There was no one left to lead, and the few remaining citizens had no choice but The land was poisoned, even the Wellspring's glittering hues were muddied and cold. In her desperation Calli sought to utilize an ancient magical ritual to revitalize her homeland. Not only would it bring back Annalise, it would save her homeland, which had long sense been abandoned.
  
  She entered into the tainted spring, bringing with her the final piece of Annalise she had, her raven familiar. This creature would be the template for the shape of her penance. For going against the natural order was taboo, and her punishment came in the form of the horrid, part avian construct.
  Her mind, body and very soul was tainted with the mark of her taboo. The land itself fell to more ruin, the once lush area devolving into a horrid, poisones swamp. In the years to follow, tales of a lake of immense magical power would attract all manner of bandit and survivors.
  
  Most would meet a swift end at the claws of the mist bound raven, who's cloak of black wings would be the last thing many wayward souls would see. She garnered the nickname the Maiden of the Mists.
  
  Her arrival in Irodina, to aid the summoned heroes comes only because the King had the foresight to invoke the old promise that Annalise had sworn when she took over her father's place in the Alliance. Though she holds little hope that the realm can in fact be saved, the notion of watching these otherworldly souls struggle in vain sounds fairly amusing.
  
  The world is circling the drain, and all life will eventually be consumed. She might as well go out doing something interesting.

  Personality
  
  List at least 3 + Positives and 3 - Negatives, along with a summary of their personality.
  
  Cynthia was once a cheerful and optimistic young woman, but just about any and all traces of her former self is now gone. In the years since the Sundering, she has become extremely cynical and bitter, having lost just about everything. Her many battles and experiences have left her scarred and weary, and she has also become bitter. Now she only lives to fight the invaders, driven by vengeance and lust for revenge, and hatred of the enemy. However, though she would never truly admit it, there still remains a flicker of hope in her heart, that one day the fighting would truly end and the world would be free once more.
  
  Bio.
  
  Born the third child of King Delroy and Queen Cathleen of the Kingdom of Irdonia, Cynthia stood practically zero chance of inheriting her throne. Her oldest brother was next in line and as such had been groomed from birth to be its heir, and the middle child also had spent years being taught to be placed as the head of the Royal Council when the time came. Her childhood was spent as what would be expected for a princess, with everything she could ever want and need right at her fingertips. As such, she was a rather spoiled and sheltered child, spending her days in the royal palace as she dreamed of princes and knights.
  
  When she turned sixteen, she was to meet her future betrothed, a young duke named Clement from a neighbouring kingdom to further strengthen the ties between their nations. The two of them fell in love immediately, and it seemed that the marriage was going to go along much better than expected, and she would live a happy life with her husband.
  
  The Sundering put a stop to that.
  
  During the wedding ceremony within the palace, portals from another dimension appeared all over the world, and demonic invaders poured through to raze all of Erodiel. They struck without warning and without mercy, and Irdonia's defenders were quickly overwhelmed. Cynthia's brothers along with her mother were killed during the invasion when a portal appeared in the palace. Cynthia and Clement attempted to escape, but Clement was struck down by a demon. He had however given his life to protect his beloved, dying in the process. She eventually escaped from certain death with her father, the king.
  
  The events that had just unfolded practically shattered her mind, and she went from an innocent and happy girl to a traumatised and scarred young woman. She spent many weeks after that in solitude and depression. Most of her family was dead as was her beloved, after all, and her father had been heavily wounded. One day, while going through her remaining belongings, she found a note addressed to her from Clement. It was his last message, telling her to be brave no matter what, and that he would always love her.
  
  That was enough to put her out of her depression, and she decided that she would be stronger so that she would not lose anyone else. She took up arms, undergoing training under the watchful eye of the surviving Royal Guard. Once she had been trained enough she insisted to be sent out against the demonic invaders, and she along with the those who had survived battled the demons, winning many victories and eventually beat them back to the largest portal they had come from, known as the Ring of Fire.
  
  Eventually, after two years of battle, the allied armies marched on the Ring of Fire. A fierce battle followed, with Cynthia herself slaying hundreds of demons, pushing them back. It seemed as if they were winning, and that they would banish the demons from the world.
  
  However, something happened. Demons even stronger than before emerged from the portal in massive numbers, and suddenly the tide of battle had turned. The allied armies fell one by one until they were reduced to a mere few. Enraged, Cynthia attempted to make a final stand, but she was saved by the surviving members of her father's court who whisked her away to safety.
  
  With the allied armies being reduced to a meagre few and the demons even stronger than ever, the survivors were forced to live in the ruins of their home, hiding from the invaders. In the five years since the great battle Cynthia had grown even more cynical and apathetic, now wondering if the war would truly end. However, when her father announced that he had a plan that would defeat the demons once and for all, she followed him with newfound hope.
  
  
• 
  
  Equipment:
  
  • Faithkeeper: A longsword that has been part of the Royal Family's armory for generations, Cynthia is the most recent holder of the Faithkeeper. A blade forged from mythril, it does not dull or rust, and retains its shine, and can even glow in the dark. Due to its composition, it is also surprisingly lightweight. The blade itself can channel Cynthia's Abjuration magic to amplify her attacks or cast protective barriers, and can even fire beams of light from long range. During the war against the demons it has proven itself to be particularly effective due to its composition, with mythril being naturally more deadly against demons.
  • Dagger: A sleek dagger with a curved blade, this weapon is used when Cynthia does not have access to Faithkeeper, and is typically only used in emergency situations.
  • Equipment bag: Contains medical supplies, rations, and other trinkets, such as a pouch of gold.
  
  Skills & Abilities: Mundane skills along with more supernatural abilities. Abilities may be listed down for Heroes, although they will not start with them.

ALEXIS KONRAD



"WIP"​

• 
  
  Name: Alexis Konrad
  
  Nickname: Lexy / The Runesmith's Daughter /
  
  Class: Ranger / Runesmith Apprentice
  
  Age: 20yo
  
  Race: Half-elf
  
  Sexual Orientation: Homosexual
  
  Magical Affinity: 5
  
  Physical Appearance: If you had to describe her in a single word, it would be "striking." She has a slender but fit build, with armpit-length black hair that features a red underlayer, and striking crystal-red eyes. Despite her rough environment, poor upbringing, and constant fighting, her fair skin and silky hair remain in perfect condition. There is not even a trace of the battle scars she has acquired during training or while battling invaders.
  
  This uncanny aspect of her appearance bothers her, so she often wears a hooded cape and a mask to conceal her face while still allowing for freedom of movement in shorts and sleeveless tops. She completes her outfit with knee-high boots, gloves, and a small backpack filled with supplies, as well as many weapons strapped to her with several belts.
  
  Height: 160cm / 5'3"ft
  
  Features:
  -Her dual-color hair is completely natural.
  -The star symbol in her left eye isn't.

  Equipment:
  
  Skills & Abilities: Mundane skills along with more supernatural abilities. Abilities may be listed down for Heroes, although they will not start with them.
  
  
  • Mundane:
    • Smithing: Coming from a well respected family of blacksmiths and being the daughter and apprentice of the worldly renowned Royal Blacksmith of Irdonia meant she was instructed on the ways of the forge from an early age. By now she is very much a Master Blacksmith on her own right, being perfectly capable of crafting most weapons and armor of very high quality for the Kingdom.
    • Weapon Master: Raised by a renowned blacksmith, she was taught the art of combat and weapon usage from an early age. Her father believed that to truly master the craft of weapon-making, one must also be proficient in the art of wielding them. As such, he required her to train with every weapon he forged, from daggers, to war hammers, to the most complex crossbows. And even during the next 5 years after her father's passing, she continued to train and gain combat experience, earning a reputation as a formidable warrior.
    • Singing: If her other skills are the fruits of hard work and rigurous training, singing would be Lexy's special talent since birth.
  
  
  • Magic:
    • "Please, live...": The final words of the late Royal Runesmith, Riktor Konrad, infused with the dying wish for his daughter to live and survive, which manifested as his last and most powerful enchantment: a passive regeneration buff that speeds up her natural healing. Not only does it heal wounds, but it also protects her against illness and keeps her in perfect health. For reference: A wound that would normally heal in a week would heal in two days for Alexis and leave no scar. It's unknown if the enchantment has a limited duration or if it's actually permanent, but however it is, it's burning through her lifetime on a constant basis.
    • Runecraft: This is a type of magic that consists of creating and engraving magical effects on objects and creatures, the former of which the Konrad Family specializes in. With this, Alexis is capable of endowing armor, tools, weapons, and other objects with magical effects to bolster their effectiveness. Since her father died before she could inherit all of her father's techniques, she is still an apprentice, but she can still utilize the more basic runes of her family. Common effects are things like Harden, Sharpen, Impact, Feather and Enhance.
    • Butterfly Familiars: Lexy's signature combat spell and the one she is mainly known for on the battlefield. She summons bright red mana butterflies that fly around her and she can control with her mind. These don't have any offensive power of their own, but by imbuing them with rune magic they can each come pre-loaded with a rune that can be activated by contact, or even stuck them to objects at range to enchant them.

KING ALVAN VILHELM


Boss by CrowParade

Spoiler: Clothing reference

Artist unknown

“Life is a fleeting thing—might as well enjoy it.”​

• Essentials
• Personal
• Equipment/Skills
• Extras

• 
  
  Name: King Alvan Vilhelm
  
  Nickname: Alv, Alvan the Venerable, The Skeleton King, The Crimson Devil (calling him this is the quickest way to sour his mood)
  
  Prior Occupation: N/A
  
  Class: Mage
  
  Age: 36
  
  Year of Birth: N/A
  
  Race: Human?
  
  Gender: Male
  
  Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (Maybe? Not sure.)
  
  Magical Affinity: 10
  
  Physical Appearance:
  He has crimson eyes. His hair is largely blonde, though with three patches of black: an underlayer, his central bangs, and a small patch at his crown.
  
  His clothing is black with gold accents (like the reference pic, but without the tassels). He wears a long, high-collared coat, which is buttoned to his waist, where it then falls open to his knees. At this transition rests a golden belt. Underneath his jacket is a white shirt, though it can’t normally be seen. His pants are tucked into his long boots. He wears long black gloves which he never takes off. His mismatched earrings are both black onyx, the right a circular stud and the left a crystal dangling from a gold chain.
  
  He wears leather shoulder armor with a neck guard, as well as leather tassets strapped around his thighs.
  
  Height: 5'9"
  
  Features: Thick black arc tattoos beneath his eyes.
  
  Magic corruption stains his hands and arms, his hands mostly black while further darkness traces over his veins, extending to his elbows.
  
  
• 
  
  Personality
  + Reliable (mostly), + Resilient, + Self-efficient, + Intelligent, + Calm
  - Selfish, - Manipulative, - Vindictive, - Ambitious, - Cynical
  
  Alvan is narcissistic but refined. He does not like to get his hands dirty (in more than one sense) and makes sure he always has a “valid” reason for his actions, no matter how selfish the true reasons. He is a lover of finery and extravagance. Deep down, he wishes to be truly accepted by others, though his methods of gaining this are power, riches, and fear.
  
  Bio.
  Many rumors surround Alvan’s origins, but there is no doubt he was raised as the oldest son of King Henrick and Queen Elayna and heir to the Kingdom of Dravell. He had a brother, Nicolas, who was five years younger than him. The two could not have been more different, both in looks and personality—Alvan cunning and manipulative while Nicolas was kind and charismatic.
  
  The King and Queen died under suspicious circumstances when Alvan was twenty-three. Nicolas blamed Alvan, as did many in the Kingdom, and a civil war erupted for the throne. Alvan had been preparing for this moment, however, and he was quick to show his strength, which tipped the war in his favor. Still, Nicolas and those most loyal to him drug the war out for as long as they could before they eventually fled to the neighboring kingdom of Aetas, which was their late mother’s homeland (and Aetas had always shown a clear favoritism to Nicolas).
  
  Alvan used this as an excuse to attack and eventually conquer Aetas, which he folded into Dravell. Still, Nicolas eluded him. Alvan pretended to be satiated as he built up his now larger kingdom, where he rewarded well those that were of use to him while he let the rest suffer. Alvan himself lived in extravagance. However, his search for his brother did not stop.
  
  Rumors reached him of Nicolas hiding in the next kingdom over, Baradok. Rumor was all the excuse Alvan needed, though his true desire was further riches and power. Halfway through conquering Baradok, however, the demons invaded.
  
  Alvan found himself too far from his home and his army too spread out to properly defend Dravell. He pulled back, though his kingdom was in shambles. When the leaders of clans and nations allied together, he joined them, for he could not conquer kingdoms for himself while the fight with the demons raged on. Some thought he had summoned the demons in the first place and had simply lost control of them, or that he was working towards an even bigger scheme, but they allowed him to join all the same. With the demon’s counterattack, however, the alliance was all for naught.
  
  Alvan spent the next several years trying to defend what was left of Dravell, and those that feared the demons more than him flocked to him. However, it was exhausting work with little gain. So, Alvan set out on his own to scour the world for any clues on how to rid the world of the troublesome demons.

  Equipment:
  Nightfall: A broadsword made of darkness. The hilt is a permanent fixture, it black and gold in color, with spikes on the crossguards curved towards the blade (kind of like this). The blade itself, however, is not always manifest. The blade appears as a mass of darkness, solid at its core but wispy at the edges. This appearance does not stop it from being plenty sharp. He usually keeps it in his Shadow Pocket.
  
  Shadow Pocket: contains a few changes of clothing, rations, basic cookware/dinnerware, basic medical supplies, a bedroll, a comb, a journal with a quill and ink, some coin and jewels, and a few trinkets gathered from his time wandering.
  
  Treasured Possession: N/A
  
  Skills & Abilities:
  Well-versed in social graces, geography, strategy, management, blackmail/manipulation, and finances. Also has some skill with stringed instruments (such as the harp and lyre), as it’s a relaxing pastime rather than one that feels like work.
  
  He is proficient with a sword, as he was trained in it from a young age.
  
  Necromancy: Main power is summoning skeleton warriors. He can also create zombies out of the recently deceased, but he finds the rotting flesh repulsive. He can also interact with spirits, though he mostly ignores them.
  
  Shadowmancy: Can manipulate and control shadows. This can be used to hide his presence. He also uses it as a physical manifestation, such as whips, chains, a sword, etc. This also allows him to see in the dark.
  
  He can also use the shadows as an extra dimension pocket, though it’s easy to lose things there even for him. As such, he tries to limit what is kept there.
  
  Superhuman abilities: These are very slight, but they set him apart from other humans. He is slightly stronger than his build should allow. He also has more stamina and speed than a human should. He is a bit more durable with a faster healing rate. He also has a strong sense of smell—and is most sensitive to blood.
  
  Combat Proficiency: 7
  
  
• 
  Optional information such as likes and dislikes, trivia, and theme:
  
  Maybe this should be in the Bio, but… His parents had a hard time carrying a child to term. In secret, Elayna sought an ancient vampire’s help. Nine months later, she gave birth to Alvan. Other than his crimson eyes and the black in his hair, he is the spitting image of Henrick. Yet, many do not believe he is the late King’s son.
  
  Elayna tried to kill Alvan several times in his childhood, horrified by the monster she had accidently created. Obviously, all attempts failed.
  
  Alvan cannot stand garlic. Silver makes him itch. He enjoys the warmth of fire but will never start one himself, nor does he like getting too close to flames. He also fancies the idea of sipping blood from a goblet like fine wine, though he’s never actually done so.
  
  His life and abilities were given to him with a cost, as can be seen from his hands. The corruption mostly seems harmless, outside of tarnishing his appearance, but sometimes it flares up with pain.
