"By ashes to ashes, return to the dust!"
✣ Name: Mavis Meadowbane
✣ Race: Human
✣ Gender: Female
✣ Age: 28
✣ Personality: Because of her upbringing and discipline, Mavis often holds herself and those around her in high reserves of discipline. For the most part, she is “no nonsense and strict”, or so others have oft described her. In truth, she simply likes getting the job done quickly and efficiently with no excuse or waver from a job or contract. Because of this, she’s often noted as a stalwart force both on the battlefield and off it; or for the more ill-natured, a stick up the ass.
Still, there is some leeway behind the stoic wall she holds on herself. If one is patient enough, they may catch her smiling when a soft breeze passes her cheek or when a cute animal crosses her path; or when someone suggests the prospect of monster hunting. Either or, rare as it is, seem to allow something of a softer nature be revealed from the mercenary girl with the spear.
✣ Background: For as far back as since she was a little girl, Mavis had always been fascinated in monsters. From their nature to their standing, the vast bestiary of creatures that walked the earth held ill intent and fascination from the young girl. And with this curiosity came the desire to hunt them, be it out of some sense of justice to those they’ve plagued and wronged or perhaps for the thrill of adventure. Regardless of her reasons, it was this single drive that decided much of Mavis’ early career before flourishing into the life she holds now.
Born in the Amber Groves, she was discouraged from an early age at her lack of magical talent due to her thin Mana Veins. Naturally, she was drawn more so to the way of the warrior and thus, soon found most of her training under the kingdom of Kogani. It was there where she learned the art of weaponry with the brutality and gritted combat skills needed to survive the harsh regiments of the warrior kingdom. At some point in her life, she left Kogani, having acquired all the tools of trade and survival skills needed to pursue her true passion: Monster hunting.
Now she serves as a mercenary for hire to anyone who can afford her coin, though she’s been known to waver the prices for any quest involving a malevolent monster. With the news of Gabaras’ fall reaching the ears of the land and rumor of unnatural forces being responsible, it served as the perfect chance for Mavis to embark on a true adventure to test the measure of her life.
✣ Magic: By choice or chance, Mavis never had much of an affinity for the arcane arts due to her extremey thin Mana Veins. Because of this, she has not learned any noteworthy spells nor does she find any desire or effort to do so. Were she to take the time to practice and perhaps hone her magical ability, she’d more than likely manifest it through her arms via runes or magical circles. At the current point in time however, she prefers relying more on her own physique and the assurance of steel more than anything else.
✣ Equipment: As per any mercenary or sellsword for hire, Mavis primarily carries tools of the trade common in her field of work. Most notable among her essentials are the arrow-headed spear and short sword on her figure. While both are ideal for combat, Mavis’ style in fighting sees her in usage of her spear more than her sword; though that’s not to say she can’t use either in deadly proficiency. She often wears a metal gauntlet upon her dominant right hand to better assist herself in using the great spear.
