Name: Elise "Boa" Sternn
Concept: Twisted Military Hero
Role: "Hero"
Age: 16
Sex and Orientation: Female / Uncaring
Appearance: "Weakness is a cancerous growth which must be cut out. Let us start with you."Personality: Domineering, cruel and ambitious are a good starting places for defining this rather off young girl. She believes wholly in the concept of 'survival of the fittest', showing little empathy for those who fall under the unfit category, but those who are strong and serve alongside her are allowed to see a more respectful and adoring Elise. When it comes to the involvement of innocents in her work, she has little qualms with it. By all means, this girl is a heroine in title and achievements alone, and not in her conduct. She combats monsters and 'villains', but her reasons for doing so are unknown. She definitely has a goal, but as to what that is remains anyone's guess. As is expected of a military girl, Elise thrives on order to an extreme degree. She demands neat and clean uniformity from all things in her belonging, including herself. She plans her days carefully, ensuring that no moment is wasted on nothing.
Even in the face of all these questionable and odd characteristics Elise does not make a poor leader, not in the slightest. She knows how to work a crowd and seemingly emits this swaying charisma that's hard to ignore at times, carried in the way she speaks, stands and looks at people.
Background: When your father is a lorded paladin-hero and a general who is expecting a great son and you're born a girl, you're already off to a bad start. Indeed, Elise faced only her fathers scrutiny and disappointment in the brief moments she saw him through out her early childhood, driving her to try and earn his approval, going even as far to try to be a boy in her younger years. She willingly entered a military academy as another attempt to please her father, only to receive nothing. It was not all for naught, as she discovered many of her talents in those Halcyon days, and found out many truths about herself.
One morning she woke up, stared at the ceiling and realised something; she absolutely despised her father and everything he stood for. The way he would protect the weak but ignore his own daughter, how he stood on the moral high ground willingly ignoring his own missteps - she would never become him. She needed not please him, nor change herself for him. When she received word of her fathers passing she did not mourn, but nor did she celebrate. Instead, she saw an opportunity to do something with the family name she was granted. She took off from the military with permission, on the basis that it was her 'fathers will that she deliver justice to the land' in his passing, starting with repairing the World Heart.
Skills: Elise has worked herself to the bone to be the best soldier she can be, and has the results to show for it. She's adept in unarmed close quarters combat, using her immense dexterity to make her a slippery target to lock on to, and as part of her inheritance her strength is without a doubt beyond human parameters. Her physical capabilities are impressive for a sixteen year old, but that's not where she truly shines. She's a thinker before all else - a tactical leader with an uncanny ability to think out simple yet stunningly effective plans and 'read' her enemy.
Equipment: Elise does not actually carry much on her person beyond her signature uniform, opting to carry a rather simple survival and medical kit with her in her travels - a long with appropriate expenses of course.
Parent: Mastrict Sternn - Paladin & Adored Hero. She hates the very idea of him.
Inheritance: Elise inherited a few things, but all of it is embodied in the magical Sternn Signet of Strength. The Signet is a family heirloom, passed down from parent to eldest child in the Sternn family for generations. Equipping the ring grants the wearer herculean strength and endurance, but that's not where Elise sees value. The ring allows her to access the resources of the somewhat affluent Sternn family and call upon any debts or favours owed to her father in his place.
Notes: tl;dr cruel hero girl with daddy issues, a complex and big dreams who could be as much of a villain as she is a hero. If the sheet is pushing the line, then I can tone it down no prob.
