Dark Souls: The Watchers of the Abyss

So...Who wants to have knowledge on how to make Estus Soup? It's a Catarina recipe, but the people there are described to be joyous, so I wouldn't put it past them to offer to teach anyone the recipe.

oh geez...I just realized I could have had my character decide to keep a journal or diary. Dang...I could've attempted to cheat the Curse! T-T

Appearance:

5'8" tall, with pale skin unbefitting her flame, attire, and weaponry. She has jet-black hair, and heterochromia. She is a beautiful woman by all rights, her slim figure hides a strength and skill. Though her scant clothes and soft-looking skin may lead one to think she would be deceptive and seductive most of the time, she wears a hood to hide her bloodlust. Her clothes belonged to the woman responsible for her death. She claimed those clothes as a trophy after killing her, wearing them as a reminder of her first death, that there is always a possibility she can die again, and that there are none that cannot be felled.

With Desert Sorceress Set

Without Desert Sorceress Set

Weapons and Armour/Clothing:

• Desert Sorceress Set - Clothes taken from the woman that first killed her.
• Speckled Stoneplate Ring - A ring taken from the woman that first killed her. It allows a bit of protection against sorceries, miracles, and pyromancies.
• Pyromancy Flame - A flame that had been shared with Brangwen during her brief time in the Great Swamp. She hopes to become more skilled with it when she's with the watchers.
• Falchion - A curved blade taken from a bandit. Her skill with it improved over her years of dueling.

Personality:

At first glance, one would expect the woman to be a seductress who uses her looks to manipulate the hearts and minds of others through desire. That would only be partially true. She has used seduction to aid herself before, but only on rare occasions. For the most part, she is an overconfident braggart that taunts any foe that cares to listen. She is impatient and rarely hesitates to so something if she thinks that it is the right course of action, making her seem merciless. It doesn't help that she becomes gleeful when she enters combat, and holds a hatred towards nobles and commonfolk alike.

Still, Brangwen is passionate about everything that she does. She acts quickly on her ideas and is steadfast in her beliefs. The reason she wished to join the Watchers was to both quench her desire to kill, and finally do something that she thinks would be right for once. She wishes to actually do good by exterminating something that threatens the lands.

Biography:

There aren't many memories from when she was an infant, but the happiest moments of Brangwen's life came about during childhood. Her parents had abandoned her as an infant, but she was raised by the street rats in the country of Carim. They were a strange bunch, sticking out among the religious folk, but they did what they could. Sure, there were thieves in their numbers, but most others attempted to support each others through more legitimate means. Brangwen herself took a liking to street performances. It didn't make much, but the streetrats were her family. They had their ups, downs, and funtimes, but she was content with her life with them.

Of course, most of her happy memories ended when a so-called scholar from Vinheim arrived. The man told them that he was only searching for assistants. He promised to pay them for their services, and they easily fell for the ruse. Needless to say, the streetrats were never seen again, save for Brangwen. She witnessed the experimentation and butchery of those closest to her, and lost herself in a flurry of strong emotions. When she found a chance, she killed the scholar, and put an end to her friends' misery. By the time she regained her senses, she found herself on a raft that beached near the land of Berenike.

The years she spent in Berenike were not memories she would like to recount. She spent her years in that land penniless and starving. In order to survive, she became part of a brothel, where she was mercilessly raped and ravaged by men who had called themselves "honorable knights." If there were any truly noble men or women, Brangwen never met them. She spent one year in that brothel before she snapped and murdered a man who had paid for her "services." She fled the country before anyone had a chance to catch her.

Brangwen wandered the lands for a moment, until she found herself in the Great Swamp. The people there were much kinder than she was used to, even taking time to teach her how to use pyromancy. Still, her view of people had been corrupted so much that she suspected treachery, and fled once again. She spent time on the roads, aimlessly wandering, and took to looting and scavenging in order to survive. One day, she was found by a bandit, who had attempted to kill her for laughs. She burned him alive, and finally realized that she was good at killing.

After taking the bandit's sword for herself, she traveled to towns and villages, challenging people to duels to better herself and earn money to buy food and water. Occasionally, she would murder her opponents the night afterwards, usually after her opponent reminded her of the scholar or the knight from her past. Brangwen would eventually become skilled enough to brag about her own abilities. She began winning duels one after the other, and became full of herself.

Then, one day... Brangwen was challenged by a woman that adorned strange clothes. The woman's abilities far exceeded Brangwen's own, and she suffered her first death when the woman's own pyromancies overpowered hers, and obliterated her. When Brangwen awoke, she found that she had been cursed as an Undead, and took it as a second chance to seek revenge. She found the woman who had killed her, and with a smile, Brangwen slit her throat. She took the woman's clothes and ring as her prize, and burnt the corpse to ashes.

Years would pass, and Brangwen had gained a small reputation. She earned the title "Estranged" from those who witnessed her duels, thinking that her personality and fighting style were much too different from her appearance. She would have enough money to buy what she needed for her fights, and her pleasures, and every time someone she disliked arrived, she would kill them.

However, despite being able to get almost anything she wanted, Brangwen would grow bored of her actions. She felt empty, and longed for the contentment that she had felt when she was a child. Then, she heard about the "Watchers of the Abyss." The tale of their exploits, marches, and mission inspired a feeling she had not felt since she acted on the streets of Carim as a child. As she sought them to join their numbers, she had come to realize that most of her life had come to nothing but murder and violence. By the time she found them, her reasons for wanting to join had expanded to more noble thoughts, mixed a bit of twisted ones. Still, she would pledge herself to their beliefs and orders in an attempt to become the type of warrior she had acted as in childhood.

First of all, it's good to see you again, Zetsuko.

Secondly, A Knight of Berenike? Brangwen's going to have to fight hard to not slit his throat.

More honorable than mine. Mine is just a mix of Undyne, Lucina (from Lucina Says), and a person who couldn't cope with the assault of horrible experiences that Life threw at them

@Leos Klien
Just a suggestion, maybe we should have Darkwraith armor and Dark hand in the stuff that isn't allowed. Pretty sure there aren't any of those who would fit in with the beliefs of the Watchers
