~Lila Gerude~
Name: Lila Gerude
Title: The Gunslayer
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Birthday: March 29th
Occupation: Bounty Hunter
Location: Edelwiess
Species: Human
Personality:
Lila Gerude generally has two expressions written on her face: neutral and frowning. Perhaps at one time she was more kind-hearted and generally less stoic. Maybe. Now though, she'd much rather just not talk to anyone at any time or anywhere. As someone who has traveled the world in numerous exploits due to the nature of her job, Lila is a girl with a stone face. Often, the last thing her most unfortunate quarries see before their passages into either death or justice are her cold visage and the barrel of her guns. Lila appears cold and apathetic, and to some extent she really is, only allowing her mind to focus on tasks at hand. She especially has a great hatred for nobility for some unexplained reason.
Now say, perhaps she was kinder back in her past? If that were the case, one would think that maybe that more tolerable, maybe even sweeter, side of herself is just lying dormant somewhere deep inside. That makes sense, right? Maybe she's just shy. And maybe she really does feel something whenever she does her dirty work. Who knows? But if someone really wants to be her friend, they could always start by bringing up her favorite topic, that being the numerous theories surrounding the creation of Genesis.
Background:
Originally born and raised in Carnatia, Lila often had an interest in the world around her as opposed to the vast forests of her home kingdom. Like most young children, Lila would often explore the woods in her youth and traverse the vast landscape with her family on occasional hunting trips. Indeed, it was perhaps this lifestyle that encouraged her to become a bounty hunter, traveling the world in search of work.
It wasn’t long before Lila, now an adult, made a name for herself. To her, no amount of work was too shady, no employer to be turned down as long as the price was right. Unfortunately her rather cold demeanor only ever gave her enemies and over time she simply began to accept the assumption that she was some stoic monster with no emotions. Thus, the Gunslayer was born. Lila now travels everywhere given that her jobs send her to exotic places almost all the time. Despite this, she does thoroughly rent a small apartment in the grand country of Edelwiess, so much so that she has come to consider it as her permanent home.
Likes: Ice cream cones, pets, new equipment to clean her guns, and snow.
Dislikes: Spicy foods, politics, nobility, and desert areas.
Talents and Hobbies: She is reported to be able to play several songs on a piano, though she claims she’s grossly out of practice. Furthermore she enjoys camping as well as spending time outdoors, writing up new theories to how Genesis was created.
Allignment: Neutral Good
Magic Type: Water with a mastery over Ice control.
Fighting Style: Mostly relies on long-ranged attacks, though she can fight in close combat using short-bladed weapons. Often incorporates her magic into her gun, using water bullets to pierce the enemy and ice ammunition to break through tough barriers.
Weapon: A shotgun called Durga that can not only fire conventional bullets but also ammunition conjured up by her natural magic. Oddly enough, it works both at close and long distances, Lila sometimes using the gun to snipe enemies from afar. Furthermore, she also carried a short-bladed sword at her side at all times.
Weaknesses: Fire magic, enemies with the ability to deflect bullets, seasoned fighters who are adept in their hand with a blade. Isn’t too good with spending or managing her money.
Strengths: An excellent marksman as well as a hunter in the wild. Can easily navigate through forest terrain. Has also built up quite a reputation from well-earned experience and time as a bounty hunter.
~Marianne~
Name: Marianne
Title: The Corpse Collector
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birthday: October 13th
Occupation: Grave Digger
Location: Carnatia
Species: Human
Personality:
Marianne is quite the interesting persona to all that happen to stumble upon her. Despite the fact that she’s a user of high dark magic and generally looked upon with fear and scorn for meddling in the forbidden arts, she is soft-spoken and polite a good majority of the time. So much so in fact, that she often stresses the proper difference between a lady and a heathen to anyone caring to listen.
That being said, Marianne’s favorite topic of discussion would have to be the many ways in which to incapacitate her foes. She’s the kind of person who would gladly explain to you when and how you’ll die over a cup of tea. She does not fear death, claiming that death is only the next stage in Omni’s course. Of course, that doesn’t excuse her rather…odd habits.
One such habit seems to be a fascination with eyes. Human eyes, dragon eyes…really anything that moves around in the socket and blinks. Probably has something to do with her covered right eye, though she’ll momentarily drop the regal air and proceed to go into something akin to a panic attack whenever people mention it.
And yet despite all of these…interesting features, Marianne is a person that genuinely cares for those around her. That is, those who can tolerate her poetic and morbid nature. Of course, with friendship comes loyalty and protection. The others may be bound by their morality, but Marianne is a girl who is willing to do any and all things for the sake of her friends. Anything…even if it means taking a few lives through dirty manners.
Background:
A distant nomad from the land of Carnatia, Marianne would rather not speak of her past, though it probably has to do with that eye-patch she’s always wearing. She hasn’t claimed it to be host to any magical powers, so there’s no reason for the secrecy. Even so, she will lash out without thought or reason whenever people question it.
Skimming the whole eye thing aside, Marianne’s mother taught her what she knew of magic while her father helped her to eventually read and write, inspiring her to create her own spells. In the present day, Marianne travels around simply for the sake of doing so, finding interest in the stories all around her.
Recently though, her interests lie in various religions and occults scattered around the world. Usually not one to get involved in such stupid things like politics, she remained neutral no more when news of “certain interesting individuals” reached her ears. Now she seeks to meet this fine folk of the world…if only to strive off her boredom and give her amusement.
Likes: Eyes, people with manners, eyes, taking apart bodies and using them as art or for scientific means, eyes, elegant dresses, eyes.
Dislikes: Mentioning her eye-patch, rude people.
Talents and Hobbies: Marianne’s favorite hobby is the study and inspection of the human body, specifically corpses and eyes. She is scarily talented in preserving body parts as well as finding new ways to incorporate them into her “art”. Is perhaps the most horrid cook.
Allignment: Chaotic Neutral
Magic Type: Dark magic; Marianne’s grimoire is named Lazarus for good reason. As a mage that practices in the dark arts, her magical prowess is unnaturally high for someone her age. Of course, such power does wonders in corroding the mentality of her person, making her unstable at times. Her most potent technique involves the limited reanimation of selected corpses.
Though despite her eerily powerful control over the unnatural and…just plain disturbing forces, her mastery over the dark arts leaves her vulnerable to lighter arcane magics. That, and she hates bright magic due to it being hard to look at.
Fighting Style:A caster who relies on long-ranged spells and distance to use to her advantage. Often she will not leave the enemy completely dead, if only to use their various body parts for her pleasure, though she’s not above murder to get the more favorable body proportions.
Weapon: A pulsing grimoire by the name of Lazarus that contains many a wicked spell, curse, or hex. Sometimes Marianne can be seen talking with the inanimate object, nodding her head and giggling in response to its unheard words.
Weaknesses: Light magic and overall enemies who can close the distance between her; she is vulnerable in close-ranged combat.
Strengths: A naturally gifted user of the dark arts, her most powerful strength is perhaps the creativity that boils in her sickened mind. Often she takes numerous notes in her grimoire detailing new methods of utilizing the human anatomy.
