Gibraltar had done his job at the wedding, no threats, no inconveniences, just the bonding and a blooming love shared among all who were there to witness it. And yet, Gibraltar still found himself prowling around at the reception on alert, ready to guard the life of the one he had been tasked to protect, even if the wedding itself was over. His optical sensors scanned the guests at the party, Archive's database filling his HUD with a great abundance of information, names, ages, ranks, roles, height, weight, biometrics, psychiatric, etc.; most of it was of little use to him. Everyone was having a good time, either drinking their fill or dancing out on the main floor, Gibraltar's eyes wandered up to the sky show above, the heavens themselves granting their blessing to the newly weds.
His path eventually had him stumble upon his own charge, lurking in the shadows at the edge of the party, as she usually was. Despite how calm and collected she kept herself, he could feel her twitching, the need for her addiction beginning to grip her rather harshly. Gibraltar approached the young woman, "Lethal," he gave her a slight nod before reaching down to his leg, a small hatch opening as he pulled the pack of cigarettes that he had kept safeguarded on his person. He was about to hand her the pack before halting and opening it, pulling out a single one for himself, before placing it in her open hand. The hatch closed and he took his place next to her, standing at her side as he brought the tiny ash stick to his lips, sparking a little lightning in his fingertips to light it before breathing in the noxious fumes. Inhaling, exhaling, he didn't feel the smoke as it entered or left his lungs, in fact there really was no point in him even having taken the cigarette. His cybernetic augmentations and the nano-bionics in his bloodstream would prevent the nicotine from ever reaching his brain; on the plus side, he'd never get lung cancer as a result. No, the whole point of this was purely for the celebration aspect of it, tonight was a night to live it up a little, even if he felt on edge, he'd try and enjoy this night as he was sure Shard would have expected all of his guests to.
Since it didn't look like there were any issues with the relationships I made, I decided to post it in my post under the character's tabs. Its still up for edit if anyone doesn't agree with anything I've written though.
The finished product, for (hopefully) everyone's enjoyment.
Name: Elias Eurona Alias/Nickname: Ash
Appearance:
Age: 28 Race: Human Rank: Artisan
Personality: A rather brash, if not arrogant individual, always ready to brawl or rock out when someone is least expecting it. His usual responses with individuals involve him either bashing heads with them, or telling them ‘smell ya later’. His only real restraint is his sister, whom he loves and respects above all else and will listen to if she tells him ‘this is a bad idea’. Is often overprotective of her and will not hesitate to mess up someone, who tries to mess up her.
Biography/history: Born into a house of nobility with his sister Maelyn, Elias has always been considered ‘the black sheep’ in his family. Raised and expected to act in a certain way, Elias would constantly disappoint and dash the hopes of his parents, who began to treat him more cruelly as the days went on. The only person who ever gave him the time of day was his sister, who treated him far more kindly than he ever treated her growing up. Despite Elias’ ‘disappointments’ he always had a home, that is, until he took it too far one day and his parents disowned him, throwing him out of the house; Maelyn followed him willingly. From that day on the two looked out for each other, bonded and became close and fast friends. They joined a travelling gypsy group where Elias learned how to play the guitar from the gypsy leader, Firion, and learned how to use said guitar to channel his magic through. After travelling with the group for several years, going to many distant places and learning new things, the two found their home at the tower of stars, their they became knights.
Reason for recruitment: “Wherever my sister goes, I go”
Strength of Will: Potent Will
Magic: Bardic Sword (Force Magic): Employs a wide range of offensive magical spells that range from the elemental to psionic, though most of his attacks involve sonic energy. Inspirational Ballad: Inspires other warriors to fight for what they believe in, making them fight harder, faster and stronger (can only be done with Maelyn) Tattoos of Protection: Personally can’t stand to wear a shirt (makes him feel claustrophobic), so he had his body all tatted up with enchanted ink to give him the same kind of armor and protection as any other soldier on the field. Also allows his body temperature to remain at a comfortable 72 degrees fahrenheit, regardless of weather conditions.
God relations: N/A
Tech: The Right Eye - A bionic/magical item, allows him to see anything the wearer of ‘The Left Eye’ sees, but only if the wearer allows it.
Possessions/items/property:
An electric guitar and Elias’ weapon of choice. Allows him to channel his bardic magic and it doubles as a battleaxe when he gets into close-quarter-combat.
Skills: Brawler - Many a drunken moon has passed to hone the skills of this fist fighter. He doesn’t have formal training, but he’s dealt and been dealt enough blows to know what hurts and what doesn’t. Axe Smasher - Self taught skill, basically figured out how to swing his axe to cut down his enemies without cutting himself. Metal Head - Learned to love the metal, can play most everything from power to death. Learned from the gypsy Firion.
Misc: Absolutely, cannot stand to wear a shirt, pretty much refuses to, they make him feel claustrophobic. Armor is even worse.
Name: Maelyn Eurona Alias/Nickname: Frost
Appearance:
Age: 29 Race: Human Rank: Artisan
Personality: Kind, elegant, unafraid. These characteristics embody the alluring beauty that is Maelyn Eurona. Ever since she was a child, Maelyn has always wanted to bring a smile to others, or help those who needed it the most. Despite her brother’s rather aggressive nature, she loves him dearly and always tries to steer him on towards the right path, or at the very least reconsider the actions he’s about to commit. Some would call her ‘Elias’ Keeper’ and she would sometimes agree, always believing, that no matter how strong he was, that he needed her help most of all.
Biography/history: Born into nobility with her brother Elias, Maelyn was always considered ‘the favored child’. She grew up under her household with high expectations and most every time not only succeeded those expectations, but went above and beyond them as well. She studied hard and learned well, performed the violin with skill and mastery, and grew up learning to love ‘the arts’ plays, dramas, literature of all kinds. Despite how proud she made her parents, they always scolded her for looking after or standing up for her brother, considering him to be nothing more than a waste of her time; but she saw something more. Over the years she would try to get close to her brother, only to be pushed aside and yet she never gave up hope that one day, they would become the best of friends; that day came sooner than she could have ever anticipated. When her parents finally had enough of Elias and kicked him out, Maelyn defied her family heritage and joined him, angry that they would disown their only son because he didn’t live up to their expectations. This act of defiance would have her disowned as well, though she never regretted her decision to follow after her brother. They eventually stumbled upon a gypsy caravan and traveled with them, learning things of the world and bonding ever closer with each other, for Maelyn, this was a dream come true. When she began playing for the caravan, her music was well accepted and greatly appreciated, the caravan’s Shamaness, Alara, took Maelyn under her wing to help her unlock her hidden potential and channel her magic through her violin. As the years passed and their travels continued, the two would eventually find themselves at the tower of stars, where they have remained ever since.
Reason for recruitment: “There are those who could use our help, and I feel the Knights of the Tower is my best chance to help those who need it with our unique skillset.”
Strength of Will: Potent Will Magic: Bardic Shield (Abjuration/Conjuration): Employs a wide array of defensive spells to protect and heal herself and those around her. Inspirational Ballad: Inspires other warriors to fight for what they believe in, making them fight harder, faster and stronger (can only be done with Elias)
A golden wrist ring forming many rings to symbolize the circles of life and the chains that bind all living things together. Uses these to call upon the spirits of nature for guidance and protection.
God relations: Thandaralisad, The Wild Bringer, though she doesn’t necessarily adhere to him or his practices, she respects his nature and all living things. Knows him through a series of spirit animals taught to her by Alara, the Gypsy Shamaness.
Tech: ”The Left Eye” - A bionic/magical item, allows her to see anything the wearer of ‘The Right Eye’ sees, but only if the wearer allows it.
Possessions/items/property:
A specialized violin that allows Maelyn to channel her bardic spells. The bow doubles as a rapier, the point being sharp enough for penetration, while the monomolecular filament of the string allows for slashing. The violin itself can be used as a type of shield.
Bond of Moon and Stars: Maelyn’s favorite book, the only possession she took (stole) with her when she left her home. It is a five act play written by a famous playwright, whose name has been lost to history. The story is several centuries old, but tells of a forbidden love between a lowly hellspawn and a fae lady of nobility during a time of war. She’s read the story so many times she has the lines memorized by heart and often times you’ll find her quoting lines from it.
Skills: Classical Violinist: A skill she has honed from a very young age, at her parent’s behest, though even without it, the violin is an instrument Maelyn has always adored. Culturally Inclined: Has a vast knowledge of different cultures and their arts, literature and songs, most notably that of human and fae civilizations. En Garde!: Another skill her parents forced her to learn, though it is a skill she has come to be grateful for. Trained in the art of fencing and swordplay, most notably with a Rapier and Saber. During her time with the gypsies she continued to improve that skill with Alara’s son, Gabriel.
Misc: Absolutely loves the arts (dramas, literature, art, etc.) and takes any opportunity she can to learn more of any culture’s arts and share that knowledge with others if they would like to know..
