Years of tutelage within the Order of Burning Light has built up slabs of whipcord muscle, as well as a few scars here and there. The side-affects of her Order membership contrast with a well-defined femininity, and natural attractiveness of her facial structure. Her flesh is a warm pale, and eyes a blue-grey. Her dark hair falls sleek over her head, often tied up for practicality. In all, she appears as an authoritative, yet beautiful figure, representing both the militant and humanitarian sides of the Order. [color=F0E68C][i][u]Birthplace:[/u][/i][/color] Scion [color=F0E68C][i][u]Magic User:[/u][/i][/color] Yes [color=F0E68C][i][u]Armor:[/u][/i][/color] Light [img]http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae218/AbsolutCharlie/RajangArmorF_zpsmnhtdnj2.png[/img] Ezheia dons a light coat of blackened plates, over which she wears the furs of a slain monster. Ezheia and a small contingent of the Order had been sent to investigate attacks on border towns, when they discovered the creature. It was the delivery of the killing blow to this creature and subsequent relief of a hamlet that earned her the rank of Decanus. While light, abnormal properties of the material afford her adequate protection. [color=F0E68C][i][u]Stamina Rating:[/u][/i][/color] 6/6 [color=F0E68C][i][u]Weapon(s):[/u][/i][/color] Ezheia carries a recurve bow and a falchion into battle. Both are finely-crafted, but have no magical properties of their own. Ezheia can, however, utilize magic to amplify the lethality of her arrows, or her blade. Both are embellished with sigils of the Order and have decorative handiwork fashioned from the horns of monsters. [color=F0E68C][i][u]Personality:[/u][/i][/color] Most of Ezheia's life has been spent under the banner of the Order of Burning Light; as a result, she is a highly-disciplined and vigilant individual. Not one to waste words, Ezheia speaks bluntly and to-the-point, giving her an aura of authority. She is dedicated to the Order's cause, and still regards herself as in its debt, after coming to the aid of Scion's Outer Ring when the authority of Scion Prime could not. Ezheia carries herself with confidence befitting of her stature as a Decanus, which inspires both awe and unease from common folk. Ezheia has a reputation for ruthlessness in her hunt for disorder, and if no alternative prevents itself, will sacrifice few to save many. Regardless of her icy appearance, Ezheia has good intentions at heart, and is intent on eradicating the lingering traces of the Cataclysm wherever they are found. [color=F0E68C][i][u]History:[/u][/i][/color] Ezheia's birthplace is Scion Prime's Outer Ring, the residences set aside for the less-privileged denizens of the capital. As such, her upbringing was less than luxurious and her family had to manage with the contention between the outer and inner city. They got by managing an apothecary clinic, providing service primarily to other low-born clients. Ezheia was kept busy lending a hand to her folks, picking up skills along the way. Fate had other plans for Ezheia, however. Come one night, Ezheia's section of the Outer Ring was besieged by a warband of monsters, rampaging across the country. Scion's lack of a standing military only fueled the destruction, and most of the denizens were left to the mercy, or lack-thereof, of the creatures. Only the intervention of a local chapter of the Order of Burning Light relieved the Outer Ring from the onslaught. Unfortunately, they arrived too late to save Ezheia's immediate family. Between her parents and two younger siblings, only she remained. The incident only served to drive the inhabitants of Scion Prime and the Outer Ring further apart; the latter accusing the former of ignoring their plight from the safety of the inner city. Outer Ring inhabitants lobbied for the formation of militias to protect against further attacks, taking their safety into their own hands. The Order remained to help the Outer Ring rebuild and tend to the injured. With nothing to gain by remaining in Scion, Ezheia was taken in by the Order. Ezheia has come a long way since her training and subsequent induction into the Order of Burning Light. Now a Decanus, Ezheia has stationed herself within Armistice, at the Order's headquarters. Though the details have yet to be revealed, Ezheia plans to accompany and safeguard an Azran caravan; one which hopefully will unravel the secrets of magic and bring order to the Catastrophe's chaos. While the Archon and most of the Order's leadership view magical poisoning as a facet they must live with, Ezheia is not content to sit idle while more and more aspirants lose themselves to the affliction. ~EXTRAS~ [color=F0E68C][i][u]Motivation:[/u][/i][/color] The circumstances that led to Ezheia's membership within the Order serve as motivation for fighting to protect those who cannot defend themselves. Ezheia refuses to let the fate of her family befall others, if she can help it, and the political neutrality of the Order ensures that anyone can be saved, regardless of social standing. The balance of power in Scion still unnerves her, however, and she is frustrated with her inability to even the gap between the high and low classes. [color=F0E68C][i][u]Significant Relations:[/u][/i][/color] Ezheia has taken orders directly from the Archon of the Order, and so has some degree of familiarity with him/her. She was tutored primarily by a Preceptor by the name of Thaddeus. He still performs his duty, although has lost much of his youth's vigor. [color=F0E68C][i][u]Other:[/u][/i][/color] TBD[/hider]
