name: Gwynefyr "Gwyn" Astelier
age: 26
bio: Gwyn is the first and only child of Dietrich and Gabriella Astelier. Her father is human, and through her mother's veins flowed the blood of archangels. Gwyn was born a Nephilim, half human and half angel, her powers sealed away thanks to the dilution of her angelic bloodline by that of human blood. As a Nephilim, she does have the ability to unlock her angelic powers, though it cones with a cost. Her mother did not have much tine to teach her, however as the childbirth had weakened her, and it was shortly before Gwyn's 7th birthday that a particularly harsh winter took Gabriella. Dietrich did his best to raise her, but how does one raise a Nephilim? Now with war looming on the horizon and imminent invasions from both sides, Gwyn and her father face a dark and difficult road ahead.
role in the story: Princess of the land of Ellystrom
powers:
Her skills would fall under the the "summoning" and "alteration" schools of magic. It is genetic, but involves a pretty steep start-up price and will incur a cost to use.
When she is of an understanding age, and if she willingly accepts the costs, she goes on a Forage. She gathers some natural flora and fauna ingredients and creates a special "ink" from it. She then creates a "mark" of her own design on her body somewhere. The ink will burn into her flesh and mix with her blood to basically "unlock" access to her angelic powers.
With these powers, she uses a combination of summoning and alteration where she can make things out of other materials and infuse them with magic. For example, she can take a rock, use her magic to make it into a spear shape and throw it.
The caveat is that each time she does that, it exerts a cost, the mark on her body will spread, causing pain each time. If its a small thing, like turning a leaf into a piece of paper, it's practically no cost. But if it's something big like earth-bending a mountain into existence, it would make the mark take over a whole limb.
Since Nephilim are so rare, no one can say what happens if the mark consumes the entire surface of the body... There is much speculation, but no definitive evidence.
