Mardox — Roleplayer Guild

Name: Ser Angela Kõivli
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Age: 32
Religion: She follows the Solanian Faith; she mainly worships Solanius, though Calidorus also gets a lot of attention.
Backstory: Angela was born to an extremely devout minor noble family in Ryymoyod, in the south of Rosiland. Ryymoyod was close to Vilvere Castle, home to the renowned Vilvere Order and the largest brick castle in the world. The Vilvere Order is a holy order of dragonslayers whose ultimate loyalty rests with Solanius and his pantheon.

Angela's parents sent her off to the Order when she was six years old to eventually become a priestess; Angela was excited about the prospects and was one of the most enthusiastic students in the castle; however, when her lessons were over she spent some of her time pestering the local knights to teach her how to use a sword. She was determined to learn all that she could about being a part of the Order, and knights tended to be the most well-taught in the whole organisation.

While few knights were women, the men were rarely put off since Angela showed a willingness to learn that many male squires did not - initially, it was just a fun way for both Angela and the knights to pass the time. After some time, however, the knights realised that she showed potential and with the right guidance, she had the capacity to become a knight herself.

Much of her life in the castle consisted of training to become both a priestess and a knight - knight training in the Order was unusual, in that squires must learn magic as well as swordsmanship. Magic training begins early because it is one of their main methods for defeating dragons in battle. 

Her training was difficult and it took years and years to complete. Finally, when she was 19 she completed both of her training programmes. Because she did two lots of training, she was ultimately given a choice of whether she wanted to become a dragonslayer or a priestess - by this stage, Angela had seen how the world really was, and ultimately decided that she could do more good as a knight of the Order. In addition, her knowledge as a priestess would likely come in handy anyway, as there was no shortage of simple people looking for the word of the Gods.

She went on to participate in the Eastern Crusade along with the vast majority of her comrades; she took part in the disastrous 'Battle of the Red Flats', where the Western army was soundly and decisively defeated by the Easterners. The soldiers and knights that routed were ran down by Eastern cavalry, while those that surrendered found themselves at the stake if they weren't killed outright. Angela managed to escape with her life, but many of her brothers and sisters within the Order's ranks had perished. 

Upon seeing the massacre of her friends by their heretic foes, Angela was filled with nothing but hatred for Easterners of any walk of life. When the Order regrouped, the decimated army spent the Crusade laying siege to and conquering Sindhusi-held castles and towns; if any Easterners were found within (they always were), then Angela and other Vilvere knights killed them without a second thought. She stayed in the East for two years without any contact with her friends and family back home; when the weary army returned back to Vilvere Castle, Angela had become extremely bitter from her experiences, but surprisingly, her faith wasn't shaken...

Motivation: Angela believes that Htraknu is a serious threat to the Solanian Faith and to all people (living and dead) in the entire world. In addition, she believes that as a dragonslayer, she is obliged to at least attempt to hunt down and kill the dragon-god like the heretic it is.
Magic: As mentioned above, Angela acquired her knowledge of magic from her training in the Vilvere Order; the vast majority of her knowledge is mainly fire- and ice-based, though she has a little bit of knowledge in shield spells as well.
Skills/Strengths: As a knight and a dragonslayer, she is a superb swordfighter and her skill in the magical arts is also very good. In addition, she is strong-willed and does not lack determination.
Weaknesses: She has a tendency to put her religion and her Gods above plenty of other things; many people would call her zealous. Angela also has a tendency to try to help the common person as much as she can, even if it may be at odds with her assignment - that said however, she treats adventurers and landless/wandering knights with nothing other than absolute contempt.

Other: Yes - she has a plethora of other weaknesses, some of them almost crippling, though I will refrain from mentioning them since it could compromise her story immediately, which isn't satisfying. If I need to tell the GM what they are, I will.


And here's an application for a new character I've been wanting to bring in for ages. ^^
