Name: Liesel Steinhartz
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Race: Kasai
Appearance:
Liesel is scrawny, underweight and short, with big blue eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair. Once you get past her milk-white complexion and rather depressed features, she can look incredibly pretty. Despite living in the poor side of town, she keeps her skin and hair immaculate
Clothing: All of Liesel's clothes are ill-fitting, torn and dirty. They are plain, mostly dresses, often found or given to her as gifts. Most afford her little protection, but she has been working on a 'combat dress' that is reinforced with leather and metal. It's nowhere near conplete yet, but it still offers a little bit of protection.
Weapons: Graveyard Shovel - it's not pretty and it can be bulky, but the weight and strength of the shovel serves it well as an improvised weapon. However, she has a few problems swinging it.
Young Lady's Dagger - A dagger that can be concealed easily in folds of clothing. Nothing special, but a great holdout weapon.
Magic: Summon Ghost - Calls a lone Ghost from the other realm to help. Ghosts can interact with their surroundings, can levitate and cast weak ice spells. Ghosts can stay with her up to six hours, but can be desummoned at will. Not every ghost reacts kindly to being torn away from the afterlife, but most are happy to return. Of course, they'll be a little less happy if they return for the sole purpose of menial labour.
Summon Wraith - Summons a single Wraith to Liesel's aid. Wraiths can levitate, silence and cast weak ice and dark spells, as well as being able to interact with their surroundings. Wraiths are more aggressive than Ghosts, some even going so far as to attack their allies, but not their summoner. Unlike Ghosts, Wraiths retain no memory of their past life. Wraiths remain for up to four hours.
Reanimate - A target corpse returns to life briefly. The 'zombie' retains all its skills and magic, but is little more than a puppet and serves Liesel fully. The same corpse cannot be reanimated twice and will collapse after its initial order is complete.
Skills: Lightweight - Liesel can walk over treacherous ground easier and is less likely to activate floor-based traps at the cost of being easier to lift and easier to knock over.
Agile - Liesel is quick and nimble, can run swiftly, climb buildings with relative ease and can jump out the way of slower attacks. Sadly, her dresses can get in the way, so she can only really do this if she's wearing less restrictive clothes than usual.
Intimidating Presence - "I don't know what it is, but something about that girl gives me the creeps" Liesel is well-known around Estermere as 'the little girl who lives in the graveyard'. As such, people are more likely to shy away from her. Even strangers find her slightly off-putting.
Forbbiden Knowledge - Liesel knows things most adults don't. Ask her about the Occult, black magic, dark rituals, etc. if you ever need to know about such things
Educated - Some people were kind enough to teach her to read and write, which is always beneficial.
Inventory:
A doll
The Gravedigger's Handbook
Some bread
A handful of Silver - about 10 pieces
Backstory: Pending (Sorry)
For now, suffice to say that Liesel was discovered in a graveyard one day by the diggers. They took her in, clothed her, fed her and taught her how to read and write. Her life before this is a mystery.
Her job now is to look after the graves, especially at night when hooligans and Orks like to wreck the stones. She tried digging graves, but she lacked the strength.
Estermere's residents are scared of her. Some people initially thought she was a vampire who didn't burn in the sun and they still haven't really grown acustomed to the pale-skinned, sharp-tooth necromancer with no irises.
Name: Kasai
Appearance: Kasai are the result of a cruel experiment involving vampires, ghouls and the undead. They are pale, almost totally white. Their eyes have no irises, just solid colour, and take on all kinds of strange colours like red, purple, yellow and grey. They have two sharp fangs, like vampires, but do not need to drink blood. Their stomachs are tougher than those of humans, allowing them to eat raw meat.
Natural abilities:
Night vision - all Kasai can see clearly even in absolute darkness. As a downside, light seems much more intense to them.
Ghost Vision - Kasai can see ghosts, even those who haven't manifested. An unmanifest ghost is different to summoned and manifest ghosts in that they do not have a form, appearing as shapeless orbs, and cannot communicate.
Necromage - Death magic comes easier to Kasai than other kinds of magic. As a downside, they struggle to learn other types of magic and cannot learn Holy Magic.
Blasphemy - Kasai cannot use Holy Magic or wield blessed artifacts.
Affiliation: Generally Chaotic Neutral
