Name: Alicia 'Lady of the Leylines' Pentechast Gender: Female Age: 19 Physical Appearance: [hider=Alicia Pentechast][img=http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/009/1/1/ttd__camille_myriad_zentreza_by_ippus-d36sfrw.jpg][/hider] Personality: Alicia is for the some of the time, outgoing and bubbly. She always tries to brighten up someone's day or bring optimism to an otherwise hopeless situation. However her optimism is only matched by her capacity to daydream and become lost in thought. She has almost a split personality, one side being a happy, adventurous free spirit and the other an introspective being, one that is absentminded and almost philosophically detached from the physical world. When travelling she prefers to be alone, though on occasion she will take a friend along. She likes to sing but never with others around. The most she will do is hum a tune as she walks with her friend. She loves to read and carries a few books with her, though mostly they are just magical tomes. Biography: Alicia is one of the rare few that can tap into the mysterious Leylines that criss-cross Leyland. She was born to a fairly high class and extremely old family in a fairly large city with a reputation for producing fearsome warriors. Her father and mother both wanted a son they could mold into being the next Lord Pentechast; an name associated closely with loyal and legendary warriors of the crown. That was her first strike. Her second and final strike was her powers. They manifested at the age of 6 during a family outing towards a nearby Leyline. She ended up vapourising a guard with a burst of pure magic that also sent her into a coma for a few days. When she awoke her parents had decided for her own good, she would be sent to a village to learn from a man rumoured to be able to control ley-magics as well. The catch was that she would not be able to return. So she was exiled at the young age of six. For the rest of her childhood she was taught how to control her powers, and channel them through a staff made of a rare wood. Alicia was the rose of the village, everyone loved her and she reveled in it. Eventually her mentor passed away peacefully in his sleep, but not before leaving everything he owned to her. Though he wasn't materially wealthy, he did leave her volumes and volumes of spells and incantations as well as herbs and medical techniques, many of which he himself had written. Despite the fact she now owned a home, wanderlust overtook her and she soon set out on the career of adventurer. Throughout the hold she became known as the "Lady of the Leylines" for her many powers as well as deeds. Outside of the hold, where she rarely has traveled, she is somewhat of a rumour. Men will come back from the hold swearing they were saved by a forest nymph or spirit of the leylines. She isn't really familiar with these stories as she mostly wanders around, investigating caves or ruins in search of adventures. That's not to say she doesn't stay in villages or towns, but she spends a good deal of time in the wilderness. Recently though, wanderlust has forced her to start venturing out of the hold she knows so well and into nearby holds. Skills: Her powers range from awe-inspiring to weak, depending on how her concentration is and her distance from a Leyline. Naturally the closer she is, the more powerful she becomes, and the farther she gets the weaker her powers become. Some of her infrequent travelling companions have noted that the closer they are to a Leyline, the more her skin takes on an ethereal look. Supposedly her body starts giving off pale white light from the excess energy flowing through her body. She likes to carry her staff around as it helps her to channel her powers; she cast by hand, but it's harder and potentially painful. I hope this isn't too terrible x.x If there's anything that you don't want or you felt was lame or overpowered or whatever I'll be happy to change it.
