The Luminescent Blade | The Lichbane Heiress
"I will light our path!"
Full NamePenelope Lichbane; 'Penny' for short
TitleThe Paladin
Whilst employing armor and weaponry that is lass traditional than most Paladins, Penelope fits the role by being a melee oriented fighter who empowers their strikes with Holy Magic. Less of a full on offense than others, Penelope makes up for it by casting protective auras on the party as well as providing minor healing abilities.
GenderAgePersonalityAbilities✠ Adept Duelist | Penelope is proficient with wielding her Rapier, using her grace and elegance in combat rather than brute strength. She can strike her opponents with a series of lunges and flourishes of her blade whilst also keeping her distance with excellent footwork and keen senses. In particular, Penelope is quite skilled at parrying and disarming opponents with weapons that are larger than her own.
✠ En Lux | Penelope bathes her weapon with Holy Light, reinforcing the usually frail Rapier to be able to withstand a greater amount of force. While empowered with En Lux, Penelope's blade casts light in a fifteen foot radius around it. In addition to these benefits, the Holy Blade will sear the flesh of Undead and Demons as well as allows Penelope to strike Undead who cannot otherwise be affected by physical strikes (Ghosts, Wraiths etc).
✠ Réfraction | Grants a shield of Light to Penelope and one ally. The Shield completely blocks one physical attack before erupting into a flash of bright, scalding light that burns those nearby. The flash of light will also temporarily stun Undead and Demons.
Skills✠ Noble Etiquette | Penelope is accustomed to the mannerisms of Nobles and is able to win their affections much more effectively than others. Inversely, she has a harder time communicating with the common folk.
✠ Appraisal | Penelope has a keen eye for detail and is a connoisseur of finer craftsmanship; in particular when it comes to jewelry and weaponry. She is able to discern the value of certain goods with decent accuracy.
✠ Noble Reputation | Belonging to a prestigious house of nobility within the human kingdom, the Lichbane name is well known and garners a positive reputation by most humans. While travelling through major towns in human kingdoms, Penelope is able to use her reputation to gain discounts at inns, certain stores and travel. However not all those in the Human kingdom are fond of House Lichbane. In particular, those who delve in the dark arts such as Witches, Necromancers and even some Sorcerers are quite spiteful towards the Dark Slaying Lichbane.
✠ Well Read | Having the privilege of growing up to a noble house has allowed Penelope to pursue an education far greater than those who were less fortunate than she. Because of this she possesses adequate knowledge on a variety of subjects including numeracy, literacy, history and she can even speak a little Elvish.
Gear✠ Rapier | A lightweight thrusting sword with good reach and speed. Requires a great deal of skill and dexterity to wield effectively.
✠ Medium Weight Armor | Appearance as shown in picture. Provides decent defenses against physical attacks while only slightly decreasing mobility.
✠ Noble Crest | A pendant inscribed with the crest of House Lichbane; proof of Penelope's lineage to the noble house.
