Name: Alastrina, Daughter of Stephen of Sherinford Age: 18 Gender: Female Nationality: Galadorian
Social Status: Commoner or Noble (Depending on the overall balance of the party) Occupation: Soldier Class: Cavalier
Broad shouldered, mid-sized young woman with shoulder length hair held back by a simple braid so it stays out of her eyes though her hair often doesn't behave itself as it ought to. He's within a healthy medium in terms of torso size and with some musculature on the legs and arms. Her face is heart shaped. Her skin is a pale white that's prone to getting sunburned.
Typically, she wears a simple iron breastplate over a white tunic paired with iron greaves over brown breeches paired with brown leather boots.
Height: 5' 10" Eye Color: Grey; depending on the lighting, they can appear blue or green Hair Color: Auburn Red with golden highlights
Personality: Alastrina is a daydreamer, prone to fantasies and imaginings which can sometimes distract her from what's going on around her and liable to let her curiosity get the better of her. But she's also earnestly eager and determined to meet the goals she's set herself, not one to back down from a challenge if there's any possible way she could best it. She tries to be like her father and the heroes of the stories she likes; noble, chivalrous, aiding those that need aid, and standing against those that need standing up against. She is still young though and this will be her trial by fire. It's up to her then to see how well she keeps to her commitment when everything goes wrong.
Her horse is her closest companion. She does seek to be friendly but she often comes off as overly perky or is disliked for trying to be a strict rule follower.
Likes: Heroic Stories, Songs, Singing, The Night Sky, Horses, Horseback Riding, Learning New Things, Tea (if that's a thing on the current continent. If hot chocolate is a thing in the new world, she may come to like it as well)
Dislikes: Not Knowing What to Do in a Situation/Feeling Helpless, Disappointing Those Around Her/Disappointing Herself, Inter-Personal Conflict (so, any in-fighting with those she considers allies), Tragedy, Off-Key Singing/Instrument Playing, Being Startled Awake, Turnips
Background: Alastrina grew up as the youngest daughter of a legend, or at least a local one. Stephan of Sherinford (either knighted due to his service or just a retired solider now serving his liege lord as an undersheriff) had served Galador faithfully in the past wars and though he rarely told tales himself, those that served under him would tell tales of him and let his deeds be known. Alastrina loved hearing those stories and dreamed of being someone like him. And though the nations were currently at peace, she hoped that some adventure would come about where she could be the hero of adventures of her own. She readily applied herself to training in the sword and lance as well as training in mounted combat upon her beloved horse, a white stallion with a black mane and tail named Winsley.
When she came of age, she joined the ranks of the Galador army and sought to be one of the rare Pegasus Knights who would be sure to be within the heat of battle. Yet when she went through the trials, she was found lacking and so her application was declined. Alastrina was heart-broken for a time, but she pushed forward as a Cavalier and found that it was nice to be able to have Winsley at her side. And then came the call for volunteers to join the All-Aoes Exploration Fleet and represent Galador. She was among the first to sign up. Now she and Winsley are on their way to prove her worth and become a hero worthy of tales.
Weapon Proficiency: Sword & Lance
Skills & Abilities: Canto: Allows the user to move after an attack if they have any movement left
Provoke: Increases the likelihood of enemies targeting its user
(The second one could be replaced with something like rescue/pair up if that would be something you'd prefer me to have as a skill instead of just something that she can just do given that so far, no one else is a mounted unit.)
And no, I haven't set up any sort of CS template just yet, given that I don't even know if there'll be enough people interested in this yet or not. :p
Fair enough.
I believe I have my character idea. A daughter of either a minor noble or a highly honored soldier of Galador who grew up on her father's stories of heroism and wants to be a hero like him and have adventures. She felt that she lost her chance after failing to become a pegasus knight, but then the call came for people to join the All-Aoes Exploration Forces and she signed up quickly and so now will take this as her chance to adventure.
She'd be a Cavalier and so exhibit many of the typical Galador traits, while being very much the keen youngster that longs to prove her worth. Her main weapon would be swords. Her name will likely be Alastrina with the nickname of Alice. Her horse would be a white stallion with a black mane and tail named Winsley.
Arthur sadly smiled. "Don't apologize for the way things are, Samara...May God bless you on the road ahead, wherever it may lead. Then he turned and joined the others as they departed.
At Dalious's comment, Arthur raised his eyebrow. "You may certainly do that. Though somehow I doubt they'd try the same trick twice." Then he opened up Gwyneria's diary and looked through, deciding to silently peruse for right now as they started along. If there was any clue where to go next, it should be somewhere in here...Or would be in the other book. Yet he shivered just thinking about it. A deep dive of that would be best later, once they were more secluded and on their way to the Islands. Not when there could be danger in any corner.
One eye kept to their surroundings and one hand kept to his sword while the other scanned through for any clues that might be hid within.
