[OOC] The Relics

[Ryonara]

I sure did miss a lot... Anything in particular happen that I should be aware of since I've last been here?

[Fallenreaper]

@ Lixvari... ummm, I hate to be a pain but you've seemed to found an image I was using for Roan. If you need another picture, I can pm you a few and help you find one.

[lixvari]

@Fallenreaper

It's fine, I'd be more then happy to have your help.

My Spoiler

Name: Amelia Lockwood
Age: 25

Gender: Female

Faction/Allegiance: Othean military

Relic Description:
A ring where the band is inscribed in an language long forgotten. It cannot be taken off. The bridge of the ring appears to be able to fit a gem. This ring allows Amelia to evoke the elemental powers of fire. To do this, the ring convokes the powers of the spirits nearby. For fire to grow, it must consume. In a place such as a tundra, the ring will likely fizzle out smoke at best. So long as she can see the object, the flames can appear at any distance. However, the further away her target the weaker the flames will be. Amelia believes that the missing gem may increase the power of the ring and she has her suspicions that the better her mentality the stronger the flames. Without the elements associated with fire, Amelia is fairly certain the ring is mostly powerless. Mostly.

She found her ring when she cut opened the stomach of a large sea bass.

Appearance:

I'm actually not too sure how people would dress but she is of nobility and nobility dress for success.


This more appropriate?

Flaws:
1. Raised from nobility, Amelia can be stubborn to an unreasonable degree, especially if things do not go her away.
2. She is eager to prove her worth which can be taken advantage of. She can be overambitious.
3. She has a phobia of cats.

Skills:
Horsemanship- She was trained until she could handle a horse on her own. Affectionately calls her mount "White Hare".
Swordsmanship- Trained with the longsword
Cooking- Making new recipes is always fun to do! That and it is important to learn how to cook when you no longer rely on servants to do that job. The joys of independence.
Nobility's Education- Growing up in a noble's household, she was taught to read as having an illiterate daughter would bring shame to the family. She hasn't paid too much attention during music class though.
Leadership: Despite the sexism in the military, she has become a capable leader to the grumble of naysayers.

Biography: Born in Othea at the heart of the capital, Amelia was born as the third of four siblings and the only girl. She grew up in an affluent society but yearned for something beyond the gilded walls and furniture. Problems with her father, the expected behavior of a young lady and subsequent stepmother resulted in her disownment from the Beauchene family name.

Around this time she found her relic. A member of the the Royal Relic Constabulary found her and requested her to join them. An adventurous soul and perhaps some would say a little too bold, Amelia enlisted in the military instead. In a way, she fulfilled a request. Needless to say, it was quite an experience. There were few other women in sight and she was belittled at almost every turn. Things went sour when they uncovered her true identity a few years in training; the notion that a noblewoman serving the military, much less wanted to be a ranked officer was preposterous and unheard of!

This only spurred her on and she gave it her all. What better reward is there than to break the status quo? She is somewhat worried about how close the king is to the Church of Idris and hopes things doesn't turn for the worse.

Personality/motivation: Amelia has always had a flair for adventure and she was fiercely independent even as a child. Growing up, she would always wanted to join her brothers on an adventure (mostly running around the estate with their imagination running wild). Feeling confined and bored of the "noblewoman customs", she often rebelled against her father's wishes to become a proper lady. Leaving her identity as Amelia Beauchene, she became Amelia Lockwood, an up and coming officer of the army with no connections to her former life (though word of mouth of her former identity gets around fast) in the hopes of finding her true calling.

She isn't one to immediately distrust people. All people, even the bad ones can do some good in their life.

Relations:
Amelia has conflicting feelings with her family. Her father had other plans for her that she did not wanted, namely marrying her first cousin. Amelia had other plans and after much begging, she had her first taste of swordsmanship at the age of twelve. Her mother died of natural causes when she was 17 much to her grief. Two years later her father married another noblewoman. She has a sour relationship with her new stepmom as she believes she is the reason for her being disowned and she finds her unbearably snobbish. For the reasons above, Amelia has grown distant with her father though she does not mind her newfound freedom.

She has no problems with her two older brothers. One is a banker and the other is a civil servant former military man. She has one younger brother who has pursued a rather hedonistic lifestyle to her chagrin. She's made little contact with her step siblings.

Final Point - Spat at her step mother's face after she made incendiary remarks about her mom and her in a private conversation. Promptly left the room afterward.

Newbie here, don't be too harsh!

Nah, bring on the heat!

[lixvari]

Nah not really.

[lixvari]

Nah not really.

[Fallenreaper]

Sending you a pm.

[Ellri]

Most of that sheet looks good, LiverisGood.
The first image doesn't fit the era. Thats more around a post-industrial era (equivalent of the high times of the british empire, we'd guesstimate) from the ankles up. The part below that is something no soldier would be found wearing, as it would be far too unstable to fight in.
What sort of role does she have in the military? You mentioned something about officer and riding a horse, but you did not really say what she does. Is she one that fights in the thick of it? if so, then armor makes sense. If she's more in the background, it might make sense with somewhat lighter armoring, possibly leather-based. But no matter what role she holds, the second image is more appropriate than the first.

[AlidaMaria]

Besides the facts Ellri stated, your CS is looking really good Liveris! Nice to see someone from the Othean army who has a c lear alliance (I'm guilty of the opposite I'm afraid >_>'). Welcome aboard!

@Ryonara, You mostly missed some CS criticism and the IC will likely start sometime soon.

@Fallenreaper You're allowed to put Roan's CS in the accepted character thread since he's accepted ;)

[WilsonTurner]

I have yet to put my character in the accepted characters
--_--

ach, I'll do it later.

Kheris and Malich both have clear allegiances, while Malich is first to the little order it's also to Othea.

Kheris is loyal to Othea... he may become deranged at some point but that isn't right now.

Will finish his cs at some point, ill today.

[WilsonTurner]

Myth is, technically, loyal to Othea. He wants to improve his standing, though if things go south like they did in the original, then his allegiance will vanish very easily.

[lixvari]

Hmm what else needed to be done with my CS?

[LiverisGood]

Is there any instances of war or skirmishes leading up to the King's festival? I would like to give Amelia some actual military experience if possible.

This only spurred her on and she gave it her all. What better reward is there than to break the status quo? Upon her graduation from the academy, she was given the lowest commissioned rank of Lieutenant and tasked to lead a platoon. Her platoon consists of a mix of light and heavy cavalry, soldiers meant to act as shock troopers in direct combat in times of war. At peacetime, they patrol the outskirts of the city in small squadrons with other units. That said, the men under her command have expressed a mixture of emotions at their officer; amazement, joy, belittlement, disbelief, anger, and grudging respect.

She is somewhat worried about how close the king is to the Church of Idris and hopes things doesn't turn for the worse. She is part of the Red Lion Company, Third Platoon.

Alright, it's put into the thread.

I think, despite the situation, Roan's loyal to the Kalesian Empire. Currently, from I understand between OOC and listed on the approved sheets, this is how the stage is set. Though I could be wrong so feel free to correct me. XD

None or Other...
Leander
Marcus
Shin
Baron Isaiah Markul, the Black Knight.

Kalesian Empire
Roan
Lavica Nizak

Kalnach
N/A

Othea
Kheris
Malich
Thora Thorvaldsdóttir
Myth

Oragos

Nope

Darn double post.

[LiverisGood]

Up until the King's festival, was there any instances of war or battles? I would like to give Amelia real combat experience if so. Otherwise, I suppose she would be going on patrols in times of peace.
