[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@Solace Cool, I'll go take a look at them.

“Why do I fight? It is because I must. No more, no less.”

Username:Aara1112

Name: Clarissa Hildegarde

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Class: Mercenary

Rank: Member

House: Aseryo

Weapon: Steel Sword [favored weapon of choice are swords but as a mercenary, she has some handling in other weapons but by far not as proficient as the blade] Uses a hand axe as an offhand.

Appearance:


Standing at a height of 5’11” Clarissa stands taller than most women. Since her occupation is one of war, she trains and maintains her physique daily. Though she exhibits a quiet exterior, she is brusque and upfront when in a confrontation and she is not afraid of using her height to back an adversary down. There is a scar that runs down her left forearm as a result of a battle in the past. Outside of battle, she opts for a simple and plain dress.

Personality:

To fight is to survive. Clarissa knows the dangers of her job and the short life span that comes with it. Over the years of fighting, she has become experienced enough to not let fear paralyze her in the thick of battle. A seasoned and decisive warrior, she will not hesitate to right what she feels is a wrong which can lead her to being stubborn and even hot-headed at times. However, in recent times the fighting has taken its toll on her. Though she smiles, often times it is a sad one nowadays. She has mellowed in recent times but there are still hints of her old self from time to time. She enjoys humming hymns and old songs as they are calming and remind her of her former home in privacy.

Biography:

Growing up, Clarissa was the youngest of 3 and the dangerous icy conditions of Ludra meant that everyone needed to know how to fight to survive the frozen wastes beyond their homes. Nature was at her worst in the winter month and tensions between houses ran high during food shortages. To this end, both boys and girls were taught at an early age how to fight and become self-sufficient as possible, from hunting to skinning to defending themselves from other humans.

Reading and writing was not a common skill to learn in Ludra but Clarissa would learn to read and write with the help of her grandparents, particularly her grandfather who once traveled the mysterious lands to the south and brought a back a great deal of books.

At the age of 14, her village was raided and it was the first time she had killed another human. No amount of training would prepare her for the mental shock of taking another human’s life. However, the winter only grew longer and the raids grew more frequent. Eventually, she would go fight in raiding parties and become quite proficient in battle

At the age of 20, her refusal to be betrothed to the Lord’s son caused her exile from home. Suddenly not welcomed in Ludra (and joining another House resulted in a possibility of fighting her friends and family), she decided to travel south where her grandfather too once went. In desperate need of money with little job prospects of obtaining a regular job due to discrimination, she turned to mercenary work. As the weather in Ludra did not make it conducive to wear heavy armor, she was very shock to see “Stone giants” in the battlefield.

The next 5 years was a blur. Fighting was all that she remembered and it became all that she really knew how to do. She became accustomed to the ways the Southern people fought, even adopting their armor. However, an ambush wiped out her regiment and she fought valiantly. She would have died that day were it not for the timely arrival of the Lord of House Aseryo. Offering her services to Aseryo, the Lord accepted, impressed by her savage and effective way of fighting. She is with the Aseryo’s for 1 and a half year now.

@The Omnipotent Sphere Accepted.

@Aara1112 Accepted as well. But you can't be bethrothed to the Lord to just be his concubine; it's just being a prostitute. Bethrothed means that you're to be wedded with the person.

[Marlowe]

Gonna start the roleplay now. I'm gonna have it that House Aseryo is visiting House Tosen to discuss the issue with them.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

Alright, well I'll have college classes for the rest of the day so I might not have a window to post until late tonight.

[RainDash]

Same here, but I'll try.

I posted. Let's get this ball rolling, shall we?

[Opposition]

I guess I will wait for the lords to post. That way, the members have a general idea of what this meeting was supposed to play out like.

[j8cob]

I guess I can post as the Lord runner-up. lol

[Marlowe]

Yep haha.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

I've got an hour and a half, so expect my post.

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@Ambra Posted. Tell Akane to eat her veggies so she can grow up to be big and strong, or else.

[Marlowe]

@The Omnipotent Sphere She eats what she wants. D<

[Marlowe]

Just saying, it's not a full scale war between the Houses. Like the OP says, it's more of a feud between them. Like the Montagues and Capulets, you know?

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

@Ambra Well according to character bios there was a simultaneous assault on the entire Tosen family, the leading family of Aseryo was nearly completely wiped out, and there have been enough skirmishes for the Red Beast to gain notoriety and lose all of his brothers.

[Solace]

All of those types of conflicts were asked to be changed, long ago. It has been repeatedly stated.

[Marlowe]

@The Omnipotent Sphere Well, there can be some deaths. Maybe ten or twenty. That's enough for a leading family to be wiped out and for a few brothers to die, but I'm not too keen on having characters act like hundreds of people died. But this can easily be fixed. ^^

@Solace

Well I've only been here for the last twenty-four hours.

@Ambra

Alright, thanks for clarifying.

[Marlowe]

@The Omnipotent Sphere It's fine. It's just kind of annoying that we have to repeat it over and over, but since you're new, it's not your fault. ^^

[Kangutso]

In other words, no harm done. If any edits need to be made, make them. Otherwise, at least you now know for the furture.

Might also be good to ask for anything else that may need to be cleared up soon.
