Elvish Greater Affinity- Aya is an Elf, having a strong affinity with life magic. Some say that her affinity is stronger that the average elf but she is no where near being a master in the art of healing in terms of experience. Her ability to heal on the other hand is astonishing as she can heal wounds at a very fast pace as well as being mana efficient while healing her patients. However she can exhaust quite quickly if she heals many people at a time, requiring her to take frequent brakes if she is healing large amount of people in one go as it very tedious job for her stamina and mana.

Knowledgeable Doctor- Aya has extensive knowledge about healing. She is able to heal almost everything except for the fatal of wounds, like severed limbs or giant wounds. She also knows what kind of supplies that are needed for certain injuries, like a brace or maybe a splint. This is basically her non-magical form of healing. Her knowledge of healing also extends into Herbology, having her know where to search for herbs of different types depending on what she needs. Knowing what herbs that she needs to help her patient recover better with ease and comfort while limiting the pain that they feel.

Expert Healer: Aya has many years to perfect her art of healing and has seen many gruesome scene on the field of battle, however she can reduce the casualties by healing who ever she can if they can be saved. She has been doing this for a long time now excelling in her art of speed healing, which can heal minor wounds and normal wounds at an astonishing rate. Larger wounds require more attention and energy to heal so she takes her times on them to make sure they leave no scars. Her healing magic's potency is enough to heal common poisons and cure very common illnesses and diseases. If these poisons and illnesses are not common then the best that she can do is stall out their effects for a certain time, combined with herbs it can buy quite some time, but not forever.

Skilled Defense Mage: Aya needs to protect herself and her patients under heavy fire and has trained to provide defense that helps her heal her patients as well and prevent as much damage as she can. Her skills with defense spells are very creative and she can preform some interesting things with them if she needs them to, However her main amount of defense spells are the shielding ones. She can create a variety type of shield of a certain element to counter an opposing one, or create a barrier of force which can stop a attack as well.

Adept Offensive Mage: Although Aya focuses most of her time on healing magic, she dabbles on part of the offensive side of magic and can preform small spells. She can lite fires or extinguish them, or maybe she will freeze small amounts of water and unfreeze them. Or maybe shoot small bolts of lightning or energy. At most she could fire out a large fireball about the size of a mellon but that would be streching her limits. But besides that, her offensive magical powers are fairly basic, barely having enough to send something back at her opponent if needed.

Name: Seti Kleon

Age: 38

Race: Human

Appearance:

Abilities:

Master at Arms – Kleon, having spent most of his life either training to be a warrior, or applying his skills and trade as a warrior for the Empire and, eventually, rebel forces, Kleon holds an immense amount of experience and talent with his chosen steel lance, and coupled with a longsword for areas that don't favor a lance, makes Kleon a dangerous and skilled opponent in the art of hand to hand combat.

Veteran Tactician - From defending outposts against raids, to hunting down and tracking down elusive hostiles created a wide base of combat experience in Kleon that lets him draw up combat plans, and extrapolate an enemies likely plans, based on prior and current activities. Kleon has a natural specialty in defensive operations and tactics, although he can manage offensive maneuvers simply enough, but it is clear to most he is better on defensive rather than offensive footing, from a tactical standpoint.

Combat Intuition: Survival, and more importantly, success on the battlefield is a combination of talent, planning, and some luck. Call it a sixth sense, gut instinct, or whatever pleases you, Kleon has learned to trust his gut instinct on something well before his higher thought process kick in, and it has saved his hide on more than one occasion, ambushes narrowly averted by signs he didn't really notice, but his subconscious did, or narrowly avoiding blows that he should have moved differently, if he hadn't trusted his instincts.

Physical Conditioning: Wearing his plate and chain armor for days at a time, marching while carrying the rest of his weapons and supplies, with little chance for rest and eating and drinking light to keep moving has built up the physical strength and endurance that Kleon can call on to push through a hostile situation if need be. While he isn't the fastest moving fellow, considering his armor weight alone, he can usually outlast opponents, waiting for a gap in the offensive or defensive motions of an opponent before striking with a fast strike or slash with the tip of his lance, or sword.

History: Seti Kleon was born within the Empire, part of a long lineage of conscripted and voluntary warriors and knights. Growing up, he listened to his parents argue whether to push the boy into volunteering, or risking getting conscripted as a regular solider rather than someone of note. The boy would end up deciding for himself before hand, crossing paths with a knight who took a liking to the young boy, offering to take him as in as a squire, which would provide him a powerful position, should be prove good at his task and work. The young boy learned how to fight, think, and operate as both a warrior and knight of the Empire, with all the requirements and formalities required of someone who might be fighting one day, and working through the courts and formalities the next.

As he grew older, his master brought him along into more complicated court settings, along with more counter attacks on monsters that might cross into Umbra territory, executing his duties with quick, effective actions. But, old age would eventually cripple the aging knight, who would decide to eventually retire fully, and he passed on shortly afterwords, passing on all the belongings and holdings that the aging knight had. Being gifted with this new found wealth and position, Kleon had to deal with the vultures that tried to descend onto the dead knight's holdings, and his court experience grew. Beyond this, tensions between Umbra and the other nations invited an increased level of combat experience, which, at the age of 30, erupted into a war of conquest, engaged by the Umbra leadership. Kleon would spend four years fighting and conquering for the new Empire, often finding himself paired with a bloodthirsty, brutal warrior hiding under the guise of a knight, who preferred intimidation and execution over more subtle methods of dealing with the captured or surrendered.Whether this was more effective or not, was debatable, but was not debatable was that Kleon didn't agree with his superiors, and his fellow knight, in how it came to treating and dealing with the rebels.

This disagreement came to a boiling point when Kleon was assigned to work alongside this fellow again. At the end of a small siege, they had a handful of prisoners, including some higher ranking members of the rebellion against the Empire. While Kleon wanted to spare their lives, as he argued living bodies were better at speaking about useful information than dead ones, his fellow knight simply wished to make them suffer, before executing them. The two men came to blows, and Kleon managed to bring his fellow knight down with well placed lance strikes, out ranging the twin blades of his foe. In the following chaos between the two knights forces, Kleon escaped the violence with his most loyal men, and crossed paths with the very same rebels that caused so much strife within his camp and former allies amongst the Empire. Kleon had nowhere else to go, and the increasing disagreements between him and the Empire had settled his new course in life. The rebels could use some experienced men, and while his own men were given leave to go their own ways, most of them joined the rebels as well, and Seti Kleon would spend the next four years undoing his prior work, using practical past experience to make the Empire hurt where he could.

Called the King of Beasts by her enemies, Seras became somewhat of a figure of legend during her service as an Umbran Knight. During the invasion of Gelum, Seras and her sister, Justicia, slaughtered hundreds of enemies and monsters, all of which could have easily challenged tens of men on their own. So frightening was their assault that when they were transferred to the front lines of the battle in Quies, many of the enemies they were faced with simply fled at the sight of them. The Black Knight and the Knight of Lions, together they were an unstoppable force that contributed greatly to the success of Umbra's overwhelming initial attack.

However, things took a turn for the worse when they joined the final battle, in Solum. Once again, they lead a devastating charge into enemy territory, slaying enemy warriors everywhere they glanced. Looking back on it, it was probably the toughest battle of Seras's career, but she didn't care about any of that. She fought viciously, revelling in the heat and smells of battle. It was because of this that she didn't notice the difference in her sister's demeanour, and that she was fighting slower than usual, almost as if conserving her energy.

It all happened in an instant. One second, Seras was taking a rare moment of rest after defeating a particularly strong enemy. In the next, she was on the ground, her sister's sword sticking through a gap in her armour.

Betrayal.

Her sister had always been the more power hungry of the two, and when the Empire promised her a large promotion in exchange for this act of treachery, she accepted their offer with only a small amount of hesitation. That was the kind of person she was.

Seras wouldn't accept it, though. After all of those battles, there was no way she was letting herself be killed there. Justicia knew this, and immediately retreated once she realized her blow wouldn't be fatal. Seras charged her, and they began a duel that seemed to freeze the battlefield around them in awe. Their battle lasted an hour, and both of them received countless injuries. Seras was at a disadvantage, since she had suffered a devastating blow before the battle even started. So, she put everything into a single all-out attack, where she went directly for her sister's head. It was a desperate, reckless attack, the sort that could strike fear into the heart of even the greatest knight. And it worked.

Then, their battle was over. The Black Knight received a lethal strike, barely avoiding complete decapitation by stepping backwards at the last moment. Seras had lost her eye, but everybody who was present on that day saw that she won, and that the hill they stood on was stained with the blood of her opponent. After that, she disappeared, and hasn't been seen even once since that fateful day.

Many think she died that day, that she succumbed to her injuries and bled out in some ditch after the duel. But those who knew her give an anxious laugh, knowing far too well that she would never die to something as pathetic as that, especially not after being betrayed so brutally in the end. Now, there are whispers going around that the Knight of Lions is supporting the rebellion, and that they are aiming for the Emperor's head next. How scary~!
