"Astrid is a willful, quick-witted rogue who wields strange magic. Much to her dismay, most animals are terrified of her."

Name: Astrid, Avenger of Scyrah's Rock
Origin: New World
Appearance:

How a normal human would view this character:
Astrid easily passes for a human, although she is often mistaken for a foreigner. Few in Norden have raven black hair, pale skin, and amber eyes.
Race: Heteromorphic - Half-Erinyes
Gender: Female
Alignment: +150
Bio/Lore:
Once a wandering orphan of Singing Tarn, Astrid now has a growing reputation as a spectacularly successful bounty hunter and enforcer. Any time someone breaks an oath or abandons a debt, she hunts them down and collects the reward.
When someone declares weregild, a blood debt, they can demand the life of the criminal. Some among the older generation still insist on resolving the problem through honorable duels. In one notable instance, she was appointed as the champion of a town elder, then told to fight and kill a former huscarl and known immortal. She narrowly defeated him through a bit of trickery, but in the end she absorbed all his power.
Since then her reputation has been steadily spreading throughout southern Norden.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Astrid's spells and abilities make her especially effective at tracking and subduing single targets. She is skilled enough to win nearly any fight one on one. Her magic sword, Angurvadal, is a dire threat in any sword duel. On more than one occasion, she has used it to cleave through her opponent's guard and split their torso in half with one swing. She is agile in combat and dodges if able, but when backed into a corner, she relies heavily on the enhanced defenses her Immortality grants her. Her light armor is high quality, but mundane nevertheless. Skilled archers and mages are difficult opponents for her, but she has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.
Between her witchcraft, immortal magic, and potions, she is also well equipped to resist Norden's hostile climate and its blights, both magical and mundane.

Equipment:
Angurvadal - A magic sword lined with ancient runes which blaze brightly when it spills blood. The blade remains eternally sharp and can cut through iron and stone.

Relic of Ithaqua - Although it appears as a gnawed and broken bone from some wild beast, it has been blessed by Ithaqua. Pale ice glimmers dimly between cracks in the weather-bleached ivory. This seemingly innocuous totem, grants immunity to cold temperatures and altitude sickness, as well as buffs the wielder's cold resistance a modest amount.
However, the mere sight of the relic enrages any enemy of Ithaqua.

Abilities:
Child of the Furies - Unlike normal mortals, Astrid doesn't gain sustenance from drinking, eating, or sleeping. Although she does all of these things, she can only survive by spilling the blood of oathbreakers, liars, and murderers. If she fails to do so after a fortnight, she degenerates into a fugue state and aimlessly wanders until she can fulfill her vengeful impulses.

Truth Seeker - Astrid is a walking lie detector. She possesses a sixth sense for determining when someone is lying or being deceitful. However, she has to be present to witness the lie, and she can't discern truth from written text.
Her ability is especially potent and ignores many countermeasures used to prevent it from working.

Oathbinder - Astrid can enforce any verbal or written oath with her magic. If the oath is ever broken, all parties (including Astrid) know who the culprit is and when the incident occurred. The oathbreaker will wither away and die within the next lunar cycle, if he or she does not atone for their crime.
On a whim, Astrid can cause a painful scar to appear on the oathbreaker's chest, which acts as a focus Astrid can use to magically track the oathbreaker's location. By concentrating, she can divine the location of an oathbreaker anywhere in the world.

Veil of a Thousand Faces - She can change small aspects of her body at will: hair length, eye and skin color, height, etc. As long as her general shape and size remain unchanged, she make any change she likes. She can even grow horns, conjure new tattoos, or make her eyes glow with an eerier light. However, it always wears off at the next sunrise.

Wrathful Smite - Astrid can channel divine magic into her weapon and slay outright any opponent of a lower level than her. Those of higher level still receive tremendous amounts of extra damage. However, she can only smite those who have lied to her since the last sunrise or anyone marked by her Oathbinding magic. She can only use Wrathful Smite three times per day.

Black Blood - What she presumes is a gift her absent father, Astrid's blood is black and oily. It has no distinctive smell, but faint motes of light pulse within it. The blood itself is highly caustic. It melts through flesh and bone of any kind, live, dead, or undead, with ease. She is immune to the damaging effects of her blood.
Black Blood also makes her highly resistant to curses and necromancy.
Black blood can be made into a potion which cures diseases, kills internal parasites, and breaks low level curses. However, it also causes minor damage to the creature drinking it.

Blood Rain - This spell causes gouts of blood to erupt from Astrid body in a gruesome spray. After a second or two of delay, viscous black ichor will rain from the sky and consume a large area around her. The rain is both cursed and highly acidic. Living creatures caught in the area develop deadly, cancerous growths and weeping sores. The various plants wither and manmade structures begin to crumble.

Astrid's travelling companion, Marik Ormstunga

Name: Taylor Quell
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Bio:
Taylor came from a rather plain and simple family, the middle child of her parents and expected to go to college like her brother before her. She’d spend most of her time playing with her little brother or hanging out with her friends as a child. Yet, as she grew up she was slowly introduced into MMOs by her brother, especially so after he came home from college after dropping out. It was one of the many times she and her brothers would bond with each other over something.

As time went on, Taylor grew to play MMOs more and more often and with less guidance from her brother, even going so far as to stop meeting friends in order to run dungeons with her guild. It wasn’t until she graduated high school and headed to college that she grew distant to MMOs for some time. That is, until her Brother sent her a gift for her first day of college. It was a game called YGGDRASIL and, though she found it lacking in some areas, was rather fun. It took her a few tries at the character creation screen before she finally started playing it.

Though she had played many MMOs before and had eventually come to get bored of them and move, YGGDRASIL kept Taylor playing even as she advanced along in college. Although she had trouble consistently playing, Taylor always came back to YGGDRASIL as a stress reliever from school and work. Nara felt more like an extension of herself rather than another being and she took solace in her online personality. Even as she learned that the servers would be shutting down, she refused to part with Nara until the very end of the game.
Rachel/Iva:
Taylor had always been a social butterfly and almost always took interest in new things so it was no surprise that she eventually took interest in Iva in YGGDRASIL. Even though Rachel was a bit different from Taylor personality wise, she didn't let that stop her from making a new friend.

Name: Nara
Appearance: Standing at 4’5 and barely weighing 100lbs, Nara was rarely, if ever, taken serious among the crowds of Yggdrasil and certainly nobody believed her to harbor any malicious intent towards others. There are even some who, after getting close enough to her, have learned that she is certainly not a normal Dryad. Her hair is like fine silk which flows around her as if it were water, her skin feeling more like soft grass than the wood of others.
Origin: YGGDRASIL
Race:
Demi Human - Tellam Dryad

Tellam Dryads are quite different from their cousins who inhabit forests for they seem to solely thrive in sparsely wooded mountains and hills around them. Due to living in such areas, many of the Tellam Dryads take a softer and more human like form, though their body is as much a product of the are they were born as other Dryads. Most Tellam have green skin that feels like grass and horns of wood. Their forms, however, are physically weaker than that of their forested cousins and tend to rely heavy on druidic magic to protect themselves.
Gender: Female
Character Level:
Yggdrasil : 100
Alignment:
-100
Racial Class:
N/A
Job Class:
Arch Druid
Strengths and Weaknesses:
In Yggdrasil, Nara was one of the strongest Druids on the leaderboards due in part to the rarity of players choosing Tellam Dryads and the slow power gain that Druids had. However, what many did not realize is that Druids, especially Arch Druids, were very capable at summoning beasts to aid them in battle. When mixed with their natural proficiency towards enhancement and elemental magics, Nara found herself quickly gaining a strong understanding of her class.

However, no amount of understanding could fully cover the weaknesses she had received as a Tellam Dryad. Her physical strength is heavily limited forcing her to rely on summons to protect her. As such, she requires time to summon her stronger beasts to fight and is reliant on others to protect her while she is doing as such. Even then, she is quite susceptible to fire and ice magics and has found that she cannot access the highest level of such elemental magic herself.
Equipment/Abilities:
Many Druids channel their magic through a staff or magically enhanced wands yet Nara does neither. As an Arch Druid, Nara channels her magic through her own being and rarely relies on her staff for combat. Rather, much of power comes from her capabilities as a summoner and elementalist. Though her Nature magic is perhaps the strongest of her abilities and a perfect match to her skills.

Summon Beast- Nara has mastered the art of summoning creatures of the forest to aid her. Many low level creatures can be summon through this spell and controlled at the same time however they are very weak compared to Greater and Grand Summon Beast. Greater and Grand Summon Beast allows her to bring in more powerful creatures at a gaining cost to summoning time and the amount she can control.

Nature’s Wrath- While Nara’s beasts are formidable, so her is Nature magic and especially so does Nature’s Wrath shine in this matter. Nature’s Wrath provides Nara with the ability to entangle her foes with vines or roots and even poison them with Nature’s Toxin. Greater and Grand Nature’s Wrath increases the area of the ability but cost more mana and time to cast.

Nature’s Toxin- Nature’s Toxin is a strong poison that slowly seeps into Nara’s foe, weakening them as time goes on. When combined the strength of her Beasts it is truly one her most formidable moves, though easily cured by other spells. However, Greater and Grand Nature’s Toxin become harder to cure in their own respect and damage Nara’s foe even faster. Unlike Nature’s Wrath and Summon Beast, Nature’s Toxin is a relatively short cast but costs more as it is applied to more enemies.

Fury of the Elements- Most Druids focus heavily of their Nature magic, often forgoing the training to learn Elemental magic. Nara, on the other hand, chose to advance along Elemental magic early into her levels and, as such, improved her arsenal of spells drastically. Fury of the Elements allows Nara to summon two chosen Elemental types and channel Elemental magic through them. However, this spell requires her to constantly feed some of mana to the Elementals and, if dispelled, weakens her Elemental magic until it is back up.

Regrowth (Tier 4)- Few buffs are as useful as Regrowth for a Druid. Regrowth allows Nara to restore her health by a small amount every second. This buff lasts for about thirty seconds and, if damage is not done to mitigate it, it can restore Nara to almost full health.

Everbloom- The ever reliable and evergreen staff of Nara, forged from one of the oldest trees in Yggdrasil. Though it seems like a normal staff made from oak, it is almost entirely a protective item rather than offensive. Due to Nara’s blatant weaknesses to ice and fire magic and lack of class specific spells to help her resistance to it, Everbloom was created to help her counter it. Everbloom is capable of healing Nara to full once she reaches half her health and passively increased her mana regeneration.

Cloak of Leaves- While not a very good defensive item, the Cloak of Leaves is, perhaps, one of the most useful items in Nara’s arsenal. When activated, the Cloak of Leaves adapts to the environment around the caster in order to blend into the surrounding nature. For example, an activated Cloak of Leaves would shift its color and composition to match the surrounding forest or rocks. It is very good for helping Nara hide from threats however its abilities only work if she is not in a city.

Crown of Thorns- Nara’s greatest weakness is her lack of strength in close combat and, as such, she commissioned a player in YGGDRASIL to forge her the Crown of Thorns. When an enemy is within melee range of Nara, the Crown of Thorn allows her to create a shield of thorns and protect herself. The shield is impossible to break however half the damage dealt to the shield carries through to Nara. On top of that, the Shield is entirely reliant on Nara’s reflexes to block.
How a normal human would view this character:
She is far from normal, more like a monster than a human though she seems to possess the same features as a human. Beneath the surface of her being, however, lies someone they could easily talk to. She is far from a fearsome monster and tends to make friends rather quickly however she tends to be overzealous in protecting Nature. As such, she tends to come across as rude or even outright hostile to those she decides are not worth Nature’s glory. Nara is more than willing to kill humans or even beasts which disregard the care that they should have for Nature. The best way to avoid her ire is to treat forests and living creatures with a modicum of honor, to not burn down entire forests in a battle of hunt down an entire herd of deer.

Name:
Rachel Wynne

Age:
34

Gender:
Female

Bio:
Rachel has been a loner most of her life. Not really out of any desire to be mind you, she just never really 'got' people. One of those awkward people who never could really seem to get her life straightened out to a reasonable degree. So she spent a lot of her free time watching old horror movies, being into mythology and video games. While she wasn't a huge player, they were great for casual fun times - at least until she stumbled upon Yggdrasil. After stumbling upon the MMO, she was immediately hooked. A good stress reliever, and she was finally able to at least appear slightly confident and not a completely awkward mess. In fact, she was rather good at the whole MMO and Yggdrasil thing.

When it was announced the game would shut down, she was particularly upset. Most of her other friends had left, and feeling more than a little depressed she decided to stick around until the very last moment.

Connection to Taylor/Nara:
Friend from Yggdrasil. Rachel's never been good at keeping friends, let alone keeping them, what with her melancholic slightly defeatist attitude and love of the macabre. It was difficult to really connect with other people. Taylor however, seemed quite interested in being her friend. Which Rachel readily accepted.

Name:
Ivaathr'krorh

Appearance:
Iva's avatar is...something to behold, really. Standing at five foot seven, It appears to be some abhorrent mix of eel, seaweed, and most notably, fingers. Yep. Fingers. Lots of them. The humanoid fleshy parts would be quite attractive, if it wasn't for everything else. Her body constantly covered in a slimy, slippery film making it difficult to get a good grip on her. Not to mention the black eel parts which resemble some form of ceremonial dress. Her body temperature is naturally cool and cold. She lacks hands, though and instead has had them replaced by a mouth with a prehensile tongue which are just as dextrous as hands.

Origin:
YGGDRASIL

Race:
Heteromorphic - Brain Eater

Gender:
Female????

Character Level:
Yggdrasil:
100

Alignment:
-300 (Neutral Evil)

Racial Class:

Brain Eater
Dominator
Gluttonous Monster

Job Class:

Eldritch Scion
Mind Melter
Psionic Savant

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Iva's abilities are completely ranged based, and she is primarily a Magic Caster. She utilizes a variety of spells that directly affect a persons mind and more metal based abilities that she uses with little effort. Such as powerful telekinesis, Psionic blasts, and such abilities. She normally lets her extra 'hands' do the fighting and only move should she need too. These abilities are supplemented by her impressive healing abilities which means she can go for quite a bit longer than people give her credit for. Her favorite ability however, is the ability to dominate a lesser beings mind and have it fight for her. One shouldn't underestimate her physical abilities however. She's quite the slippery little fish. Literally, and if she gets any of her mouths on you...well, game over man. You now have a baby cephalapod in your head.

That said, while the mind has been strengthened the physical body has suffered. While she is wily and knows how to best leverage her weaker body to retain grip on someone, the amount of physical force her body can exert isn't impressive. She's quite frail, physically speaking, and would loose to most in a contest of raw strength. Couple that with low defense to physical attacks, she suffers in close quarters usually.

Equipment:
Crown of the Yellow King:
Protects against mental effects, nullifying them completely. It enhances the wearers focus, allowing their minds to stay clear and sharp at all times and have a preternatural understanding of most magical abilities they see. Divine Class.

Earrings of Hotepa:
A pair of divine-class earrings. Allows the user to have a limited shape shifting ability, allowing them to change their appearance within limits. Those with particularly advanced scrying or those with the ability to see through illusions will see through this quite easily. Using the item causes one's abilities to more appropriately reflect the illusion as well, should one so happen to look.

Abilities:

Gluttonous Feasting:
A ability that heals a person directly proportionate to the amount of flesh they eat. Takes the life of others and converts it into life for herself. Any physical damage dealt to a creature by any of her mouths will be drained of life and instead transferred to her to heal, or temporarily strengthen her own physical abilities. Can use this ability to purge toxins from the body.

Eldritch Hands:
She can manifest upwards of ten different psychically controlled arms and hands. These hands can exert as much force as a human in top physical condition, and as they are ethereal can not be defended against by most people. They are just as dexterous and can easily be controlled. Feels no pain and can effortlessly replace them and use them to defend/attack. They are usually invisible to the naked eye.

Mind Blade:
A simple spells that turns psychic energy into an ethereal blade able to be used to attack with. While it is named 'blade' if one is skilled enough, they could shape this into any physical weapon they desire. Invisible to the naked eye.

Psionic Shriek:
A wide, AoE Attack that directly affects a persons mind. Anyone within a large radius will find their minds assaulted by an intense pain that causes severe brain hemorrhaging without sufficient protection. Can focus on a single target to make it more effective. Causes migraines even in those who defend against it.

Mind Jammer:
An ability that hampers ones ability to think and numbs the mind, effectively making them slow to react, have trouble thinking of solutions to possible problems, and generally just makes them lose some of their mental faculties. Strength can vary from simple sluggishness, to making one completely 'blank' entirely, forgetting what they were just doing and erasing parts of their memories. Especially useful on Magic Casters.

Psionic Barrier:
A magical ability that places a powerful barrier around the target that repels any incoming attack be it physical or magical in nature.

Overwrite:
A particularly devious ability that at its core, simply brainwashes the target sending them into a fugue state following a single command of the caster, or entirely overwriting their free will to make it more agreeable to the caster. Can only used on single targets, one at a time and either physical contact or direct eye contact for a few seconds is required. The more its successfully used on a person, the longer it lasts unless the person has been thoroughly cleansed of its effects.

How a normal human would view this character:
Completely utterly terrified, most likely, should they know what she truly looks like. Horrific beings such as herself have little in the way of allies and love. At best, she'd likely be shunned, at worst, hunted. The earrings will likely help much, but its not a perfect illusion and sometimes things get weird. Her body temperature will stay the same, and she'll always have a clammy and mildly sticky feeling on her skin.

The Player
Name:John Clarke
Age:23
Gender:male
Bio:
Growing up, John didn't have many friends. With his older siblings being more popular, most kids wanted to hang out with them. This caused him to be somewhat timid and introvert. His lack of friends caused him to be on the computer more so than he'd like to admit. This led to him reading about YGGDRASIL. After buying the equipment to play, his journey into YGGDRASIL finally started. In the game things were different. John had many friends while playing the game though he never sought to make a guild. At the end, he spent his last minutes of YGGDRASIL on a hilltop where he met his first friends.

Origin:
New World

Appearance:
Those who would see Vaettir's form would think he was a holy angel. His skin is that of white Marble, with shards of assorted colored glistening stones embedded just beneath the surface. In direct sun light he glistens majestically, a statue crafted by a master Sculptor. His upper body is shaped as a muscular man while his legs is copied from some sort of Canine. His head bares two horns that rap around in a mock halo. His facial bone structure seems as if it was once perfect. Although his face takes more qualities of a beast than man. His eyes Glow a bright Gold and his mouth seems to always be spread in a wide smile, revealing his jagged gold teeth at any given time. His most notable feature is his thick tail that seems to end with a disgustingly bony hand, a malicious add on to the rest of his beautiful form. He Stand at four meters tall, just under that of a Troll or giant. His voice is low, but almost soothing to the ears. His tone rarely changing from someone who had just woken up and couldn't care less.


How a normal human would view this character:
A normal Human would view Vaettir as a beautiful spirit. A glistening moving Statue with a horrific face. Due to the lack of aggression or caring he displays, none initially find him a threat when approached by him more of just shock of his height and appearance.

That is not to say he has not had difficulties with Humans. Whether it be contracts from adventure guilds to slay him, in hopes of gaining his powers from his marble form or local towns sending their Militias to slay the wondering beast. None have succeeded and those who return alive only spread their own tale of the Horrific walking statue. Those who have heard these tales greatly fear Vaettir and will run or attack on sight.

Character Level:
New World: 50

Racial Class:
Arch-Devil

Job Class:
Necromancer/Dark Knight/Disciple of Disaster

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Vaettir's usual slow lazy movements are completely changed in combat. In combat he is an extremely quick fighter usually using his Sword to attack while casting magic at the same time with his Tail. Bouncing around the battlefield in unholy grace. Although his weakness are Holy and Earth enchanted items. Although spells gain no significant damage increase to him.

Equipment/Abilities:

Sword of the Fallen Landvaettir:
This massive sword is shaped as a straight sword completely made out of Wood and missing a hilt. After his fall, the Sword was corrupted by Darkness and began to look rotten. Even with its appearance the Sword is Sharp as any other Legendary Class sword and does poisoning damage to all that touches its surface. It has the ability to contort like a corrupted root or vine and wrap around Vaettir's body like a bandolier before revealing it's self by traveling to his hand and reforming into his deadly weapon.

Crystalline Skin:
Vaettir's skin and armor are stronger than any metal that could be found or crafted by man. It requires magic to truly hurt the beast, this includes weapons that are enchanted by Nature elements or Holy elements. Alternatively, an extensive amount of magic can also hurt the beast. Although Vaettir has ways of hurting

Cursed Palm:
After being corrupted from the Elf Warlord Elecan Wraithborn, a bony hand sprouted at the end of his tail. Vaettir cannot control the hand well enough to use it for any skill that involves higher motor functions. It can still move, grab, strike, and its main purpose of casting magic. It seems that magic cast from the cursed palm is usually more powerful than his other hands. It also seems to have a mind of its own. During stressful moments it is able to cast Magic of its choice and not on Vaettir's command. Usually, it chooses well.

Ódauðlegur:
An immortal from birth and gained twice over after Slaying the Elf Commander, Elecan Wraithborn in Ritual Duel. Immortals are immune to all disease, resistant to curses, and can recover from wounds with preternatural speed. Even if they are drawn and quartered, cosmic forces conspire to reconstitute their bodies over the course of weeks or months. The only way to for one to be truly slain is for them to be defeated in a ritualistic duel. Due to the age of Vaettir he also is quite informed in human affairs although the powers and meanings of the gods of greater beings are lost to him.

Tier Magic:
Vaettir can access tier 7 Magic. He uses Five different forms of magic:

• Metamagic Enhancements: Used to maximize his magic potential on the fly. These spells include Boost, Maximize, Penetrate, and Twin Magic to name a few.
• Fire Elemental Magic: Cursed with the direct element that used to cause death to his very being, Fire. Hellfire to be specific. Vaettir is able to cast anything from a single fireball to city burning Napalm. Rarely used due to the instinctual fear Vaettir feels from the flame.
• Necromancy: Vaettir's strongest and deadliest magic is his Necromancy. Once he was the creator, protector, and balancer of life. Now he is the polar opposite and controls the minions of the undead. From Soul Eaters to Death Knights, and Skeletons Vaettir can summon small group to whole undead armies to his bidding. Although he doesn't truly know the extent of his power due to his burning hatred of the newly acquired magic ability.
• Aspect of the Devil Magic: Used to change the physical traits of Vaettir, granting him temporary body parts to enhance him further. Such as Wings for flight, Claws for an additional weapon, or Extra limbs for attack/speed enhancements.
• Restorative magic: The last and only powers Vaettir has attained from his former form. He is able to cast light healing spells. While they are higher tier abilities themselves, he has lost some of the more special abilities. Such as revival.
