[OOC] Bullet Princess: A Group-Based Magitech Fantasy RP

[VitaVitaAR]

@KoL: Accepted.

@Ixa: KoL approached me about the idea for a robot character first, and I think we're pushing it with too many. ^^;

@Lunar: Yes.

@Crusader Lord: I'm a little uncertain about magic directly from deities, let me think about this.

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR I mean the "gods" could just be strong magical beings that live in that part of the world. If that helps the matter, i mean. XD

[KoL]

@VitaVitaAR

Thanks, I'll move her as soon as I have some time.

By the way, I was thinking, maybe out could be interesting to have an automaton on each side of the conflict. They could work sorry put of as foils to one another. That's just an idea, though bit I guess that it could add some interesting narrative tension.

Here's my antagonist CS ~

Emlyn

Name: Emlyn
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=v…

Personality: Emlyn is a girl who has feelings of inferiority after her father looked away from her after her failure. That feeling was redirected towards Yeln after her father has fallen from the war. The two incidents together has stopped her from wielding the spear that she used to enjoy training with. As a childish means to get back at those who took her father away from her, she went murdering people who are identified as spies & traitors of the fallen Yeln Empire. It is apparent that she learnt magic for that sole purpose, so as not to taint her pridefully wielded spear. She is cautious, and she ensures that she doesn't deplete her magic just in case.

Skills: Emlyn's style of fighting are built for open battles. Surprisingly for someone who specialises in magic, she has a decent deal of strength. She is capable of wielding a spear, though she is currently out of practice. She is able to keep tabs on information, being good at pinpointing spies & assassins. She can pilot Magitek vehicles

Abilities: Emlyn is good at using Magic, and her lightnings are known to strike true and accurate over distances. She is able to cast them without incantations. Her lightnings are often manifested like spears that pierces her target.

Equipment: Emlyn wields a dagger just in case her enemies get too close to her. She always carries a spear on her back as a momento of her father, though nobody has seen her drawing it out once.

Brief History: Emlyn was born in Tinnec, from a proud military family. From young, her father taught her on the spear, but she had failed to make the cut for the army, much to her father's disappointment. That was the last time she seen her father eye-to-eye, where he had been called up for the war against the Yeln Empire and died a gruesome death. Losing her edge on her spear, she went on to study magic. The first thing she did after learning the concepts was to murder identified spies & traitors that served for Yeln. Eventually, those incidents have caught wind of the government and she was recruited into their new agency. She was sent to Crinitria, leaving her old life behind.

PIRATE, HO.

... supposed to be a protagonist, I think? Anno's been telling me there's room for one.

PIRATE

• Name: Raktai, Scourge of Sea and Sky, First Pirate of the Heavens
• Age: ??
• Gender: Female
• Race: Crinitian
• 
• Personality: It is safe to say that the default attitude demonstrated by Raktai is not one that would normally go along with a pirate of such fearful reputation. She seems to quite simply be too ditzy and easily distracted to terrorise a puppy, let alone the world's shipping lanes. The quest for booze is definitely piratical, but mostly she seems to be too busy flirting and collecting rare books to actually plunder and pillage. It's easy enough for those she's allowed to be passengers to find themselves lulled into a sense of security and dismiss all the stories they've heard...
  Yet when it comes to actually being a pirate, the joviality and absent-mindedness can be gone in a flash. When plunder is at stake or her life at risk, it's quite clear how the normally laid-back wolf can be the merciless terror of the tales. Of course, she'd still rather leave her enemies alive--most of them--and simply scared out of their wits. Not out of sentimentality but because, of course, someone needs to spread the news--and it's much better if your targets don't fight back out of fear.
• Skills: Even in an age of magitech vehicles, robots, and magical guns, Raktai retains a distinctly antiquated skillset at heart--ropes, sails, on-the-spot carpentry to hold everything together... her preference is definitely for a sailing ship than one relying on magic or complicated technology to any large degree. Her approach to conflict follows throw with this low-tech and low-magic philosophy: she prides herself on being the best with a pistol there is. Reloading, trick shots, aiming quick--what she can do with flintlock pistols would have anyone else expecting some sort of magical aids or at least a more advanced weapon. Where guns fail, her brawling skill can back her up, or even a cutlass or sabre is more than sufficient to keep the common soldiery at bay.
  She's also got astonishingly good handwriting for a pirate. Must be all those illuminated tomes she's tried to copy over time.
• Abilities: Seemingly, none at all, aside from skill beyond reason at such mundane tasks.
• Equipment: Aside from her trusty pistols--quite normal, if displaying some alarming Ship of Theseus tendencies with how many parts have been replaced from wear and tear--Raktai, of course, has a ship as a pirate captain: The Huntmaster, a small, nimble seafaring vessel... outfitted since with enough magitech to reinforce its frame against the stresses of flight and, of course, the means to do whilst retaining its nautical abilities. Though quite sparsely armed--it's not meant to engage against military vessels, after all--it's got far more cannon than the merchant vessel it must have originally been. It helps that the cannons are now magical in nature and thus, less prone to the dangers of gunpowder.
  She wants to work out how to send it under the water as well. There's got to be more monsters to hunt in the abyss...
• Brief History: The legend of Raktai stretches back long before Yeln, when the main way to travel between distant places was to walk really, really far or to take a boat. In those heady days, she was but one pirate amongst many, but bold and without fear, coming to prominence for both her tendency to meet resistance harshly--and a fantastical grudge against the immense beasts of the sea. Defeat of the mighty leviathan was what cemented her reputation for all time, as was her uncanny ability to escape attempted military crackdown--or personally fight the way out of them.
  Both ship and captain were amongst the first--if not the first--to take to the air, making sure that there was no way that any commerce would ever be free of the terror of piracy. This took a somewhat more heroic bent during Yeln's time--Raktai obviously taking issue with their treatment of her people. But with the Empire down, her interest in privateering for Tinnec is over and it's back to the good old ways of going after anyone with valuable cargo or that which takes her interest.
  Of course, once the full timeline of Raktai's activities is analysed, it's quite clear that something is amiss--the captain herself could clearly never have lived so long, and yet she looks to be in the prime of her life. Whether it's a title passed down or something stranger is hard to tell, given how embellished stories about pirates get...

Here's my character draft for the antagonist side:

Name: Captain Gernot Linhart

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Race: Human (cyborg)

Appearance:

Appearance

Credit to Abel Vera

Still working on an unmasked appearance. Preferably something with an impressive mustache.

Personality: Captain Linhart is a patriot, devoted to Tinnec and proud of his service, despite what it has cost him. He is a dutiful soldier, always carrying out his orders to the best of his ability and always expecting nothing less from those under his command. Despite his stern demeanor, he is not incapable of camaraderie, and understands its importance to unit cohesion.

Because of his experience fighting against the forces of Yaln, Gernot despises the fallen empire, having not only been maimed fighting them, but seen many fine soldiers perish in the struggle to end Lord Yeln's tyranny. He believes firmly that the remnants of the empire must be crushed into dust, lest they someday gain another opportunity to cast their dark shadow over the world.

Skills: Captain Linhart is a veteran dragoon officer, experienced in fighting both on foot and on horseback, skilled in the use of both firearms and swords, and educated in battlefield tactics. Following his

Abilities: As a magitech cyborg, Captain Linhart is better, stronger, and faster has above-human endurance and resilience than a normal human. His tireless clockwork heart can withstand stresses far beyond that of his former one, and his augmented spine allows his nervous system to interface directly with his powered armor. Additionally, this interface provides redundancy- his armor's energy stores can power his heart should his own stores become damaged or depleted, and his heart's mana battery can, at great peril to himself, fuel his armor's boiler should things become dire enough to warrant it.

Equipment: Captain Linhart is equipped with a suit of magitek-fueled steam-powered armor, enhancing his strength and providing unparalleled physical protection with the unfortunate side effect of producing considerable smoke when powered up, mandating an air filter in his helmet. He carries two weapons- a break-action shotgun pistol and his old heavy cavalry sword from when he was a Dragoon officer.

Brief History: Like many cavalry officers, Gernot was born to a fairly well-off family, educated in a private boarding school, and attended a military academy, before being commissioned as a Dragoon lieutenant. During the war with Yeln, Gernot fought heroically and was decorated for his bravery more than once, but was badly wounded in a major battle, where his unit took heavy losses. Healers and physicians were able to stabilize him, but his wounds- most damningly a broken spine resulting in partial paralysis and damaged heart that struggled to function- could not be mended, and it appeared that his military career was over. Gernot would not have it, and petitioned his superiors to find a way- any way, no matter the risk, for him to be a soldier again.

To his fortune, the minds of Tinnec found a way- in an experimental procedure, they replaced his injured heart with a clockwork prosthetic, mended and his spine with automaton tech, and installed a rechargable mana battery to power these devices. The procedure was a success- while there initially were a few problems with his new parts that had to be fixed, Gernot ultimately regained full control of his body, and his new heart proved capable of handling anything he could subject it to.

The lieutenant missed the last chapter of the war with Yeln while he was recovering and being tested, but the military was not done with him. Between his deeds and his enhancements, he was deemed a suitable candidate to carry out more special assignments than serving as a Dragoon officer. Once it was determined that the flaws in his prosthetics had been ironed out, Gernot was given a suit of steam-powered armor modified to take advantage of his upgrades, received further training to perform his new role, and was promoted to Captain. Shortly after, Captain Linhart was given his first orders in his new role...

@VitaVitaAR

Coal

Race:
A wizard consumed by magick and turned almost all of her body into magic.

Age:
Coal is older than most.

Gender:
Female

Appearance:
Coal's eye glows with blue light and appears to not have much of a face at all. She is 6.2ft tall and her body is thin and metallic, giving her the apperence of robot.

Personality:
Coal is a curious, caring, strange, helpful, and forgiving person. Thought she is slow to trusting people due to previously being alone for most of her life with very little encounters with good people.

Equipment:
Coal has a set of thick metal armor from her waist down as well as along her shoulders. she has a brown travel bag she carries to keep her posetons in.

Skills:
Explosive touch
Coal uses a special hand to hand fighting style that she perfected over her years of mercenary work and self training of magic. She uses fire, combustion, and lightning magic to bring some extra punch to her claws and kicks.

Magic mucles
Coal's nechanical body increases the amount of force that her body can exert, allowing her to punch and kick harder, jump farther, run faster, and lift heavy objects with very little strain to herself.

Travelers eye
Coal is bilingual and fluent in many languages, it seems her magical eye can understand all sorts of text very quickly and allows her too easily grasp complex lenguages.

Abilities:
Execive force
Coal's body erupts into fire and lightning and is able to create major explosions from her hands. She can even use her magic to create thrust and accelerated movement.

Ghostly presence
He is highly resistant to magic and magical forms of attack while at the same time being effected by meow attack like a normal robot.

Brief Background:
Coal was a striving Mage and a hermit most of her life. While perusing her fascination with the archain she trained herself in the ways of magic and combat to protect herself and any information she gathered from her experiments, but after a many years she grew obsessed with knowledge of the arcane and even transformed herself into a robot in her quest for power. After seeing what she had made of herself and how her ways of research for the greater goo became eclipsed by her lust for the archain. It was then that she took up the life of a mercenary, never talking much and always getting the job done.

@VitaVitaAR
All right that took more than a few hours, but I believe it's finished.

CS

Name: Arthur Whitehill
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Appearance:
Personality: Arthur is an easily excitable boy, with a curiosity that knows little bounds. Raised by a family that has been in the military since six generations ago, Arthur has inherited the immense loyalty for his country his ancestors had, and all in all he wishes he could become a hero, much like the ones in fantasy stories. Having a romanticized view on warfare and combat Arthur has a high sense of honor and doesn't like using underhanded tactics, unless he is ordered by one of his superiors in which his loyalty for the country overrides his sense of honor. When dealing with people Arthur is a sociable person, not having problems to speak with strangers and him rarely getting angry or annoyed at things.

Skills: Trained as soon as he learnt to walk, Arthur is proficient with almost all types of melee weapons, especially swords which he uses it as if it were just another part of his body. While he was also trained in long range weapons, his aim is nothing short of atrocious, making him ill fitted to handle them unless his target is at a close distance.

Abilities: With a bit of concentration Arthur can create weapon constructs from thin air. Apart from being lighter and less durable than a real version of it these constructs have no special quality of their own. While this is not a very flashy ability it perfect for Arthur as he can make the weapon needed for the situation appear as well as arming his comadres. Swords, spears, axes, daggers, shields, pikes, hammers, are some of the things he can make, while stuff like guns, any type of bomb or magitech weapon is currently out of his skill as he doesn't understand how they work very well.

Equipment: Arthur possesses an old armor passed down his family line, that while not having any hidden weapons or any boost to give him, its very durable and lightweight, as well as a source of pride for his family.
Brief History: Arthur's ancestors since moving into Tinnec many years ago, and decided to repay the happy life they had obtained by serving and protecting the nation. Starting training the body and mind as soon as possible Arthur was taught how to defend himself and strengthen his body so he could grab a sword with ease. Several years down the line Arthur tried to join the military, as war with Yeln became a more possible outcome with each passing day and he was ready to serve the country, but his father stopped him, as he believed Arthur was still too young and had much to learn. While his father went into the war, Arthur had no one to continue teaching him, so he decided that he should learn magic, one capable of helping him in combat. The war would soon end and Arthur would excitedly show his father, who had returned from the war with nothing more serious than a few permanent scars, the results of his studies and training in magic during the time he was gone. Impressed by his new abilities and the fact that with the Yeln threat gone there shouldn't be a conflict of that size for a while, Arthur's father used some of his connections made during the war to recommend his son for a job in the new agency dedicated to help rebuilding and hunt down Yeln relics.

[VitaVitaAR]

@Crusader Lord: Hmmm... I'm still kind of unsure mostly because I'm trying to avoid involving deities in this. ^^;

@Noodles: Koishi as appearance is throwing me off a little! Aside from that, it'd be nice if she would have magitech of some kind but she looks acceptable.

@Raineh Daze: Accepted.

@Crimson Paladin: Hmm, after some thought, I think he's a little too steampunk and not enough magitech. No real character issues though.

@Lunar: This... is still kind of standard fantasy. ^^;

@Ixa: Looks good!

[Lunar]

@VitaVitaAR

Ok, so I need to be more steampunk right?

[Crimson Paladin]

Alright, here's my character's revised sheet.

Captain Linhart

Name: Captain Gernot Linhart

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Race: Human (cyborg)

Appearance:

During the war

Current Appearance

Credit to Abel Vera

Personality: Captain Linhart is a patriot, devoted to Tinnec and proud of his service, despite what it has cost him. He is a dutiful soldier, always carrying out his orders to the best of his ability and always expecting nothing less from those under his command. Despite his stern demeanor, he is not incapable of camaraderie, and understands its importance to unit cohesion.

Because of his experience fighting against the forces of Yaln, Gernot despises the fallen empire, having not only been maimed fighting them, but seen many fine soldiers perish in the struggle to end Lord Yeln's tyranny. He believes firmly that the remnants of the empire must be crushed into dust, lest they someday gain another opportunity to cast their dark shadow over the world. Nothing can be allowed to remain.

Skills: Captain Linhart is a veteran dragoon officer, experienced in fighting both on foot and on horseback, skilled in the use of both firearms and swords, and educated in battlefield tactics. Following his rebuilding, he has been further instructed in the operation and maintenance of his powered armor.

Abilities: As a magitech cyborg, Captain Linhart is better, stronger, and faster has above-human endurance and resilience than a normal human. His tireless clockwork heart can withstand stresses far beyond that of his former one, and his augmented spine allows his nervous system to interface directly with his powered armor. Additionally, this interface provides redundancy- his armor's energy stores can power his heart should his own stores become damaged or depleted, and his heart's mana battery can, at great peril to himself, fuel his armor's boiler should things become dire enough to warrant it.

Equipment: Captain Linhart is equipped with a suit of magitek-based steam-powered armor. The armor, designed by the military and modified to take advantage of his augmentations, processes mana to create and harness the elements of fire and water. The armor enhances the wearer's strength and providing unparalleled physical protection for its wearer, and the helmet incorporates a filter, protecting the wearer from contaminants and toxins in the air. During testing, a flaw in the armor's fire transmutation focus resulted in the production of unwanted quantities of earth into the mix, hindering efficiency and causing the suit to emit black smoke. The problem was fixed, but at Linhart's suggestion, it was made into a feature that can be turned on and off. He carries two weapons- a break-action large-caliber smoothbore pistol and his old cavalry sword from when he was a Dragoon officer.

Brief History: Like many cavalry officers, Gernot was born to a fairly well-off family, educated in a private school, and attended a military academy, before being commissioned as a Dragoon lieutenant. He served as an officer for many years, and during the war with Yeln, Gernot and his unit were decorated for their bravery more than once. As the tide turned against Yeln, however, he was badly wounded in a major battle. Healers and physicians were able to stabilize him, but his wounds- most damningly a broken spine resulting in partial paralysis and damaged heart that struggled to function- could not be mended, and it appeared that his military career was over. Gernot would not have it, and petitioned his superiors to find a way- any way, no matter the risk, for him to be a soldier again.

To his fortune, the minds of Tinnec found a way- in an experimental procedure, they replaced his injured heart with a clockwork prosthetic, mended and reinforced his spine with automaton tech, and installed a rechargeable mana battery to power these devices. The procedure was a success- while there initially were a number of problems with his new parts that had to be fixed, Gernot ultimately regained full control of his body, and his new heart proved capable of handling anything he could subject it to.

The lieutenant missed the last chapter of the war with Yeln while he was recovering and being tested, but the military was not done with him. Between his deeds and his enhancements, he was deemed a suitable candidate to carry out more special assignments than serving as a Dragoon officer. Once it was determined that the flaws in his prosthetics had been ironed out, Gernot was given a suit of magitech steam-powered armor, modified to take advantage of his upgrades, received further training to perform his new role, and was promoted to Captain. Shortly after, Captain Linhart was given his first orders in his new role...

[Raineh Daze]

Why is it so hard to grasp that fantasy with some magitech influences is the desired outcome and not

"BEHOLD, AN INEXPLICABLY ANCIENT SORCERER ROBOT".

Also, you spelled arcane wrong.

[Crusader Lord]

Are there homunculi existing in this RP?

[KoL]

I know that I'm not a GM bit this CS got me very, very intrigued at two points, despite of how short it's.

Why is it that cats are so deadly to automatons? I thought that Akatsuki could be a cat lover but, if meow attacks are so dangerous, I might reconsider it.

Also, among the big pile of hard to get stuff in there, how can Coal be bilingual and fluent in many "lenguages" at the same time? Isn't polyglot a better term?

[Noodles]

@VitaVitaAR - Added skill to pilot magitek vehicles, also I changed the image, no wonder that prev image looked familiar, almost forgot about Touhou :X ~

@VitaVitaARStill accepting players?

[Crusader Lord]

@VitaVitaAR Here is my new app! :D

Name: Elena Yelnstaz

Age: Unknown, appears about 18-21 years old

Gender: Female

Race: Magitech Genetically Engineered Artificial Human

Appearance: https://i.imgur.com/BDMO62N.jpg (but she does not use those clothes that are in the picture)

Personality: Elena is a usually relaxed individual, who seems to enjoy life and seems fully normally human on first glance. This being noted, she feels a sort of "distance" between herself and normal humans, something she cannot just shake off, and feels in part that her seemingly "normal behavior" could honestly in part be called "acting". She think this because she can take on a certain "mode" wherein she shuts off her emotions in an instant. In a sense, one could call this other mode "mechanical" in its efficiency to a scary extent, though her mind is retained despite this. She does not tend to use it on average, however, due to not wanting to "scare" people in her normal life.

Since her waking, she has done her best to live among people, to put on the cloak of a "normal life", though has felt as if something was missing from the equation. It is not that she hasn't enjoyed life in some senses, but a notable question still sits in the back of her mind..."why was i made?". Such a thing continues to nag at her, eating away at her until perhaps she goes out and can finally acquire the true answer. Still, having been hired by a strange little girl, she has found a new mode of employment that might lead her into one of the most mysterious travels she has ever gone through...

Skills: She has basic day-to-day life skills, as well as experience with doctors, healers, and working as a barmaid under her belt that have all helped her gain a good work ethic to boot. However, she is competent in healing, especially with her healing magic, and knows some first aid as well. When it comes to her transmutation magic in particular, she is highly experienced, this being built into her after all from the start, and its versatility can be good both in and out of battle for her. Though of note, she is not as experienced in battle as even the average warrior or fighter, leaving her best suited for support roles, but definitely still not useless in a fight. However, she does possess a photographic memory, a great thing for taking in information, as well as abnormally large mana reserves.

Abilities:

-Transmutation Magic: This form of magic was built into her from the very start, imbued into her very being. It functions like the name sounds, allowing her to transmute substances, items, forms of matter, and materials into different ones, and/or even just altering their shape. Requiring a constant channeling of magic to use, however, this magic requires no words, no gestures, but can only be enacted/used through her making some form of physical contact with the intended target.

She can also use this in a limited medical application, attempting to transmute dead tissues and infectious organisms in wounds into living tissues or otherwise into something harmless/medicinal in purpose to help the one she is doing that type for transmutation to.

This magic also grants her the boon of being able to analyze the composition of potions and other things with physical contact to boot.

While very versatile in general survival situations, and able to be versatile in a fight, her lack of sheer battle experience is a hindering factor for her, but she is at the same time not incompetent either when it comes to conflict.

-"Maximum Output Mode": This mode was built into her blueprints originally, and was stabilized and perfected by her creator. By entering this mode, her ability to feel emotions is numbed completely and the areas of her brain where they are processed are temporarily converted into centers for accelerating the flow of mana in her body that enhances her senses and also the power output and speed of her spells. It is a strong mode where she keeps her mind, but is limited to 1 minute bursts with 5 minutes between each burst, leaving her dizzy and struggling with a crushing wave of emotions that hits her mind as an after-effect of this mode once her brain returns to normal. Only really to be used for desperate situations, this mode is very effective when used even if it is not perfect.

-Healing Magic: She is competent in general healing magic, both from helping healers and doctors as well as being "programmed" with the information on it to an extent by her creator. This makes her a handy medic, especially when combined with the limited medical applications of her transmutation magic.

-Magic Missile: A basic magic attack of condensed mana fired at an enemy, it is considered a very low-level spell that beginners learn for offensive attacks. For her, however, this spell is perfect with her mana reserves allowing for her to charge up more magic missiles, and larger and stronger magic missiles, than any average mage could normally. It is actually her attack spell of choice, really.

-Slowed Aging: Unknown to her, the aging process is virtually nonexistent for her (if at all), a thing that separates her from the "normal" but quite a margin. It is some odd aspect of her design who full extent is unknown in the long run. She isn't immortal, and can most definitely be killed in many ways like any human can be, but age will apparently not be a concern for her in the long run.

Equipment:

-Black Alchemists' Robes (a keepsake of her creator), with leather traveling boots and a traveler's leather cloak with a hood on it.

-A wallet with a small amount of cash on hand

-a water flask hung on a strap that goes over her right shoulder and the flask hanging on her left hip

-about 2 days of non-perishable food provisions on her person in a pouch hanging from her right hip on a brown leather belt she is wearing

[b][u]Brief History: Elena is a genetically engineered human, created in the heart of the Yeln Empire from advanced magitech methods for creating beings such as her. She was created by the magitech engineer Octavius Horaceson, one of the top scientists of the Yeln Empire. Octavius was one day charged with a project by a messenger from the royal family, to which he began his work in creating an engineered, artificial human being that would eventually become Elena herself. However, he did notice faults in the designs given to him, and as such Octavius used his intellect and knowledge to stabilize and perfect her design. Though he was never fully informed of the plan that Elena was to be made for, due to not having a good feeling about her potential use the man hid Elena and created a duplicate with the lesser abilities and lesser craftsmanship of the original designs sent to him. This "copy" was the one shipped off to Kyn Fortress....and was never seen again by him or those few working in his lab.

However, Elena was kept around, and was like a "daughter" to those who worked there, including Octavius. Claimed to be a "lab assistant" created to provide help, and supposedly being a "failed copy" of the product the royal family had ordered Octavius to make, Yeln was none the wiser about her actual identity.

During the war, Octavius was eventually commandeered by the Yeln military to test substances on prisoners captured from the conflict, in order to create a serum for bolstering the failing empire's own troops. He was even visited by the king a few times to see his results, most of which were faked whilst the morally torn scientist and Elena secretly freed many of the prisoners to avoid actually performing such human experimentation. In the process he leaked some information on what Yeln was wanting to do with prisoners, in exchange for the freedom of himself and his workers after the war was over. He felt that Yeln had overgrown its ability to maintain an empire and was not ruling fairly over the people, so much so that he defected formally to the rebellion near the end of the war against Yeln.

Elena in all of this used her abilities to assist her "father" in his experiments and in his endeavors. In reality, he taught her a lot about right and wrong, despite his workplace being a lab made to engineer individuals or super soldiers, and other various things for the war. Eventually the war ended, though Octavius and his workers were not all spared the gruesome slaughter that many soldiers took out on those who had once sided with Yeln in the conflict. Octavius himself was saved by rebel leaders, but his people were killed, and to protect her Elena was left in a stasis chamber stored in the back of the former Yeln base where he and his workers had been hiding.

A year after the conflict finally ended, Elena was found by scavengers, who saw her as potentially being a noblewoman or nobleman's daughter from some loyalist faction. She defended herself against them, killing them by surprise, before leaving the ruined old base and setting off to find the nearest town. From here she began, as her "father" had told her he wanted for her, to forge a life of her own. Working as a barmaid at first, earning some sort of keep, and then assisting the local doctors and healers in some cities during her travels for a few days at a time, she did some travel and labor in general to earn her keep. Though seeming to make a life for herself, she feels like something is missing from her, and has had some bit of a sinking feeling that she will never be able to be like unto the "normal" humans she has done her best to emulate.

Gender:
Race: Human
Appearance:


Personality:
Valence is a queen of spite and narcissism that only draws allies in acquaintances in her thirst for power. She has a childish temper and an incredible sadistic side. Vallence can fake reactions well and does all she can to further her own goals. Most actions she takes have ulterior motives.

Skills:
Torture - Valence Dane uses torture and physiological manipulation to force her victims to be dependent on her. Usually she has others perform the deeds before she restores them to health to experience it all over again.

Abilities:
Necromancy - Valnce's necromancy relies on the subjects magical potential to sustain them after death. in a weaker individual this might result in the being totally unable to use magic but someone stronger would still have partial use of their abilities. After resurrection they can be controlled by her in proportion to how attached they might be to her.

Healing - Two sides to the same action. Her necromancy uses the subjects own magic to maintain their body while she can use hers to repair damage to others.

Equipment:
None

Brief History:
Maybe she got an early start to power being born the eldest of three. Everything since then has brought here into ever higher positions. Even before she came into her necromantic abilities Valence was a cruel and sadistic child. Life in a small town was boring but Valence quickly found ways to amuse herself at the expense of others. Causing physical pain was enough to start but she quickly learned other ways.

From the very beginning of the Yeln regime she had her place as an inquisitor and executioner. Setting traps and capturing dissenters were a way to gain favour within the empire and with those in command. On the day of the final battle she fielded a legion of undead were ultimately wiped out. The effort of constantly renewing her forces taxed her power and she was forced to flee, cutting herself off from any that remained.

Now she has resurfaced in the service of Tinnec under an assumed name as she was presumed killed in the war. Maybe she feels regret but that isn't very likely.
