[h1]NPC[/h1] [img]http://i.imgur.com/T90yVqP.png[/img] [i]"Everyone has 'good' in them. It's what they do with it that counts."[/i] [b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b] Name: Vivien Hart Age: 17 Sex: Female Date of Birth: September 17 Hobby(s): Reading about dragons; Browsing Atland's markets; Card games [hider=Appearance:]Vivien stands at a solid 173 cm (5'5") and weighs around a certain number that a woman never discloses. She has a fair skin tone with green hair and matching green eyes - traits received from her mother. She wears her hair at medium length - just a little past the nape of her neck - with the bangs framing the sides of her face being noticeably longer than the rest of her hair. Additionally, she has braids on either side of her head. When it comes to clothing, Vivien prefers to keep it simple. In her casual wear, she adorns a plain pale-blue blouse, pinkish-orange skirt, a black sash worn around her waist, and a pair of light brown boots. While on Wallguard duty, Vivien wears a uniform very similar to the Wallguard archer's uniform except it's more form-fitting to her body. Furthermore, she wears light armor more suited to her division which includes armor covering her arms and legs, which comes up to her middle forearm and thigh respectively, a chest plate, and fingerless black gloves.[/hider][hider=Personality:]A passionate young girl who charges forward boldly and confidently into anything and everything that she does, Vivien - or as she is often referred to by close friends and family as "Vivi" - is a rather hot-blooded youth, with a penchant for trouble but a heart for peace. She believes that everyone has good in them, and that people deserve second chances. Due to this value, Vivien is known to rush in and help other people without a second thought. However, Vivien isn't nearly naive enough to get swept away in some type of nefarious plot and will more than gladly deliver some good old justice towards the evil doer. On the contrary, she is very intuitive about other people and can usually discern whether a person has good intentions or not. Because of her energetic nature, she sometimes will find herself in very dangerous, troublesome, or even comical situations but Vivien is usually more than capable of finding a solution to those situations. Probably her most problematic trait, however, is that she tries to help and make everyone happy, often taking on too many responsibilities as she does her best to help everyone with their problems. On the contrary, when is comes to her own problems, she is hesitant to ask for help as to not get other people hurt if she happens to get herself into trouble. Still, despite her headstrong behavior, Vivien is frighteningly observant when it comes to battle. She is quick on her feet which saves her skin countless times. She's a natural-born warrior who isn't afraid to flaunt it in battle. Occasionally however, this "spur-of-the-moment" cocky attitude is quick to boil over which causes her to make mistakes. Fortunately, her innate battle instincts kick in to save her just in time, and she is just as quick to calm back down into her more serious and calm battle persona. For all of the bravado Vivien displays, she has one great fear that she doesn't like talking about because she deems it too embarrassing: Vivien doesn't like the dark. As long as she has a light she's fine but if it goes out she becomes frozen in fear. Her fears runs so deep that just being outside during night time makes her feel uncomfortable, but she doesn't feel as suffocated as when she's in pitch darkness. The main thing that sets her apart from most people is her interest and passion for dragons. While that alone may not be strange, she is very open with her thoughts. Vivien is perceived as a "dragon lover" which at times puts her at odds with other people, most notably her twin sister, Lysa Hart. Ever since her run in with a dragon when she was younger, she doesn't view them as vicious, blood-thirsty beings as preached to her countless times by schools and the numerous members of the public. Instead, she always wondered what it would be like if the humans and dragons lived together in peace like they once did; talking and befriending one another. Vivien believes that dragons are no different than humans and shouldn't be treated any differently, because of this Vivien is often standing up for dragons when someone bad mouths them. Lysa Hart is Vivien's twin sister. Her interest in dragons has put her at odds with her sister, who celebrates the fact that all dragons have been wiped from existence. This causes arguments between the two and unintentionally created a rift of hatred. Although she would never wish harm on her family - in fact, she loves them more than words could describe - contempt for her sister's opposing views has formed a sort of feeling of disgust towards Lysa. In those rare times that they do meet, Lysa never fails to bring out the anger and rage within Vivien and, on more than one occasion, they have drawn weapons on one another. She regrets that this has happened and wishes they could return to the way they use to be. Somehow she knows that their conflicting views will one day tear them apart completely. Vivien doesn't like talking about her sister as it is a touchy subject for her. If it is brought up she will likely become angry and often lash out at the other person until they give up on the question. Get past all of that and Vivien is truly worried about her sister. She wants to try and show her that dragons aren't terrible beast and that they can live together in peace.[/hider][hider=Biography:]Vivien Hart was born and raised by a family whose history is deeply connected with the Wallguards. Her father, Talon Hart, was a celebrated archer of the Wallguards where he is famously known as the "King of the Hunt". Her mother, Arryn Nocte-Hart, was a Wallguard of the Magic Brigade who specializes in support magic. Both of her parents are now happily retired and are focused on raising Vivien's little brother, Lukan Hart. Born as the younger twin to Lysa Hart, she would find herself always chasing after her sister. Growing up, she was always one step behind Lysa, whether it be first words, learning how to walk, or even in their studies. This never bothered Vivien however. Instead, this made her look up to Lysa. Whenever there was a problem with other kids, Lysa was always there to protect her and, no matter what happened, the two of them were always together - nothing could separate them. Vivien loved her sister and Lysa cared for Vivien dearly. They even shared the same dream of one day joining the Wallguards just like their parents and older brother who is currently traveling the world. Growing up was where the problems began. Being told the story of dragons and about the war, Lysa looked at it with anger. Believing dragons to be evil and a danger to the humans. Vivien saw them in the same light as well for a time. Although these dragons were believed to be extinct, Lysa, nevertheless, wanted to be prepared just in case something happened and they were to appear again. So the two of them began to read more about dragons, so that when they become Wallguards, they would be ready to fight them. Everything that Vivien had believed about dragons changed on one fateful night. Coming home from a friends house, she decided to take a short cut through the open valley. It was starting to get dark so she knew she needed to get home quickly. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one occupying the same stretch of the Humemark Valley. A group of men were there harassing a young, beautiful woman. From the looks of it, the men were hunters or, more likely, poachers. She didn't look scared and said something to the men which made them angry. One took out a knife but the woman didn't see it. Vivien, although normally shy without her sister, shouted to the woman to look out. The woman dodged in time but now the men knew Vivien was there and grabbed her. Frozen and too scared to scream, Vivien closed her eyes trembling as she thought she would never get to see her family again. That's when the woman called to her and told her to not be afraid. Vivien opened her eyes and watched as the woman changed into something she only read in books: a dragon, and it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen with scales that glowed like moonlight. Vivien forgotten, the shocked men drew their weapons and attacked the dragon but to no avail. By chance, one of the poacher's arrow was off course and was headed for Vivien, but, seeing this, the dragon rushed in front of Vivien to protect her. Unfortunately for the dragon, there was now an arrow sticking out of its chest - right where its heart was. With a ferocious snarl, the dragon struck fear into the men who all at once turned tail and ran off; no doubt rushing to tell everyone about the dragons that were supposed to be extinct. Vivien turned to the dragon wondering what it would do next. The dragon looked at her with such deep affection and the sense that it was happy she wasn't hurt before flying off. Ever since that day, Vivien's entire perception on dragons changed. They were alive! And not all of them were vicious monsters like she was led to believe. When Vivien told this to her sister, who didn't believe her story, Lysa was angry, accusing her of siding with the evil dragons who killed many people. It was during that day that the two sisters began to drift apart, their views on dragons being at the center of it all. Years later, now 17, Vivien has finally made the step to become a Wallguard recruit. As always, Lysa, was one step ahead of her, having made the ranks of Wallguard one year earlier. With her dreams of one day finding peace with the dragons and thanking the woman who saved her when she was younger, Vivien starts her journey.[/hider] [b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b] Primary Division: Assault Troops Secondary Division: N/A [hider=Weapons:][b]Mikrosakana[/b]: Vivien's beloved and trusty [url=http://i.imgur.com/jgrPXKI.png]lance[/url] is a parting gift from her older brother before he left home and the Wallguards to travel the world. It is forged from the finest of steels and imbued with the ability to utilize runes - special stones with the innate ability to enhance weapons with various forms of magic. Of course, to activate a rune, one must actually know how to use magic in a basic capacity. So far, Vivien has managed to gather four types of runes which she can swap in-and-out during battle. These include runes that allow her to utilize fire magic, water magic, lightning magic, and ice magic.[/hider][hider=Abilities:][b]Battle Instincts[/b]: When ever she is in battle, her surprising intelligence and skill can only be attributed to her innate instincts which allows her to see clearly and react effectively whenever her life is on the line. These instincts were developed at a young age as she and her twin sister would tag along with their father and older brother when they went out to hunt. [b]Acrobatics[/b]: Vivien is extremely limber and has a wide range of acrobatic ability. She displays these abilities masterfully in battle even despite the fact that she is wielding such a heavy weapon. However, when she gets overconfident - which does happen at times - she tends to make mistakes which translates into her seeming clumsy. [b]Magic[/b]: As a child, Vivien's mother attempted to teach her and her sister the basics of magic. Lysa, being the more competent of the two, grasped the concept quite easily while Vivien struggled. Later on in life, Lysa would go on to learn much more about magic while Vivien could only managed the basics of what her mother had taught her. So far, she's learned enough to confidently use runes and one or two spells - not enough to qualify her as a member of the Magic Brigade.[/hider][hider=Techniques/Spells:][b]Vortex Crush[/b]: Activating any one of her four runes so that their element envelopes her lance's blades, Vivien directs her lance in a circular motion with increasing speed until the element she is using creates a vortex that lasts for a brief moment. Hitting an enemy head-on with this vortex will cause them to be damaged by the element while also spinning and launching them off into the distance. However, she is also able to thrust the vortex at an enemy to envelope them inside of it and when the vortex closes upon itself, the enemy is "crushed", feeling the full damage the vortex can deliver. [b]Heaven Strike[/b]: Vivien launches herself high up into the air and comes crashing down lance-first onto an enemy. She can combine this technique with her elemental runes to integrate their added effects. [b]Lanceguard[/b]: Spinning her lance in front of her at breakneck speeds, Vivien creates a sort of shield that can effectively block incoming weak magic attacks such as a simple fireball or the likes. [b]Indomitable Spirit[/b]: An ability that seemingly self-activates as a last resort, Vivien instinctively taps into her reserves and is granted a mental time limit. During this time, Vivien can fight just as she did in the beginning - ignoring seemingly all sustained damage over the course of a long battle. However, after the time limit is up, she will instantly fall unconscious. [b]Nature Trail[/b]: The only useful spell in her repertoire, this is an ability that leaves a sort of magic mark behind that allows other people and herself to retrace the steps. This mark is often hard to see and, unless you know what to look for, it is easily ignored. She developed this spell when she was younger, having been separated from her father, older brother, and Lysa while they were out on a hunting trip.[/hider] [b][u]Other Information[/u][/b] [list] [*]Vivien enjoys free running in her spare time.
