Plague-Hunters

Alright, fair enough, it's just that I hate being stuck in the middle of a conversation.

Plague-Hunters

@agentmanatee I'm fairly sure we're past 2 posts

Aether Eternum

The premise is quite intriguing. I'd love to see this RP materialize... so to speak.

“Sapphire Amaryllis” she responded without any emotion resonating in her voice while taking her Kris back. The Kris promptly disappeared behind her cloak. “Shouldn’t you be stalking your future familiar instead of fellow trainees?” she asked with a slight frown visible on her face. Before he could answer she continued, a more blank expression returning to her face. “I once ran a few errands for someone with that very same last name. . .” she paused for a moment recalling the many encounters she had with various distinguished figures and prominent family trees while living her life of solitude on the streets.

“. . .So tell me, what did you have to go through to prove yourself in your training ?”, she continued with a far more grim tone in her voice hinting that she was aware of some practices of the Schulze family. She then turned her head slightly to the side, letting more of her hood cover her face.

@agentmanatee *tap* *tap*, you still around ? xD

Welcome to the Neon City

I think this would have a better appeal in the casual/advanced section. This kind of setting is just begging to get a few PCs rather than just one or two for that matter. I certainly like the setting, but I'd probably only enjoy it if there were more PCs.

Soon enough, Sapphire is standing in front of the tree which has her Kris embedded in it. With that same gentle grasp she used before she takes hold of the Kris and pulls on it a few times but it becomes clear the she won’t be able to remove with the amount of physical strength she possesses.
She pauses for a moment then places her right hand next to the Kris, the inner palm pointing away from the tree slightly to her left. She then clunches her hand into a fist and a noticeable ‘woosh’ is heard as the Kris seems to dislodge a bit but still staying fixed and the tree.

“Of course . . .”, she whispers to herself.

She prepares to do the same action again but she suddenly stops and drops her hand next to her. A few seconds pass as she stands there apparently doing nothing, keeping her eyes closed behind that hood. To the more trained eye it would become clear that she’s attuning her exceptional sense of hearing to her surroundings.
A few more moments pass when suddenly she turns her head to her right looking in the general direction of her uninvited guest who has now stopped moving and is observing from the shadows. It is unclear whether she’s just scanning the area or staring right at said guest. She stares some more for a few seconds still not discernible whether she’s just spooked or has in fact taken notice of him.

Apparently satisfied with her findings she takes the tree in front of her into view once more.

“I know you’re there . . . so you might as well come out.”, she says in a low yet commanding tone, her confidence seemingly returning to her voice as well due to her no longer being near the large group of people.

As Joshua finishes answering her question she looks at him for just a short moment and nods then finishes packing her supplies.
She then stands up and heads towards the nearest tree. The fact that she stood up and left the immediate area of the camp site goes almost unnoticed by anyone as if she were hidden in plain sight.

Once at said tree she pulls her cloak to her side revealing her trusted Kris that she’s been carrying around since she can remember. She grasps it with a gentle touch and raises it to her chest simply examining it, for a few moments clearly contemplating deeply.

She snaps out of her deep thoughts and with new found confidence she proceeds to straighten out her hand seemingly taking aim at the tree. For a mere moment it looks like she’s about to throw it at the tree but instead the Kris is flung vertically into the air. As this happens, Sapphire pulls her right hand back next to her head which is the same one she used to throw the Kris into the air. The Kris starts plummeting and the instant it’s in front of her hand she thrusts it forward. Apparently without even making contact with her hand the Kris is sent flying towards the tree, in the end merely grazing it and deflecting the Kris into another nearby tree.

Sapphire lets out a faint sigh as she disappears behind further vegetation to retrieve her weapon.

Sapphire arrives quite late in comparison to the rest of the group still catching a glimpse of the ongoing conversation about local fauna. She sits down on log that is fairly distant to the rest, obviously not wanting to sit down next to anyone. As everyone is in the process of bagging the supplies offered by Joshua she decides to skip the snack prepared by him.
She quickly packs one of the bottle drinks and some dried food.

"So...uhm... what kind of flying creatures are we expected to find ?" she asks in an almost whispered tone that would've gone completely unnoticed if any ambient sounds like the wind would've been a bit louder. As she says this she averts half hood covered face towards distance, not looking at anyone in particular.

The Mark

Bio:
Sapphire grew up never knowing who her parents were. She spent most of her childhood under the care of Helga, an elven maid. Sapphire had very few friends as she always gave off this odd vibe making everyone around her feel uncomfortable. Something was off around her, and everyone knew it except herself. The few people to whom she revealed her mark were immediately frightened by it, never knowing themselves why that was so.

At the age of 13 Helga disappeared without a trace. This time, with Helga gone, she was truly alone. As result she had to spend most of her time on the streets.
She was constantly shunned by people around her being forced to live near the edges of cities where the chance of Sickened attacks were fairly high. It was either through incredible cleverness or simply sheer luck that she survived for so long without losing her life or being infected with the Beast-Plague.

Most of the money she made for a living came from small errands she ran, most times putting her in even more danger than she previously was, often having to journey between towns.
Sapphire eventually enrolled in the Beast Hunters Guild at the age of 21 and began training under Joshua. She didn’t have any particularly out-standing skills and she couldn’t master any weapon to such the degree the she could call it a preferred weapon of choice. As result her not being able to specialize with any weapon, the combat prowess she possessed could only be described as subpar at best.
Despite all this Joshua persisted and never gave up on her, continuing to train her at the best of his abilities.

Personality:
Having spent most of her life shunned by people and alone, Sapphire grew bitter with the world and slipped into a depression.
She is rather reclusive, preferring to spend her time alone and therefore has a hard time getting close to people. Despite that she can get attached to people who place their faith in her, similarly to how Joshua did so. Granting that she has quick mind and knack for strategy, she often can’t keep her cool in combat to put that to good use as she lacks the confidence necessary.
Sapphire lately finds herself caring less and less about anything and everything that happens around, occasionally seeming almost aloof.
