Name: Enyo 

Age: 19

Height/Weight: 5'11", 148 lbs.

Race: Lanostran/Varyan

Appearance: Enyo is a fairly tall for a young woman. She has light blonde hair, pale skin and emerald green eyes that seem to glow within themselves. Her body is trim and well defined, honed to the point between speed and raw strength. Her hair is usually tied into a ponytail with a tie from her stepmother, and she carries the necklace of her birth mother: a shimmering blue crystal with the visage of a giant cat-dragon etched within it. 

Her shoulders are rather broad for a young woman, and her fingers are calloused from archery and hoplite training. Her arms, like her body, are deceptively strong and have been reinforced with the natural protection that comes with multiple broken arms. 

 

Personality: Enyo is fairly complicated. While she looks brooding and seems to be plagued by bouts of melancholy, many are surprised to find that is just her default expression. Enyo is a smart young woman with a cynical and dark sense of humor. Couple that with a half smirk type of smile, sharp words, and an entitlement problem, you have the recipe for quite the arrogant personage. What could be considered the worst part of her personality is that she has no sense of mercy or forgiveness. While incredibly loyal (almost to a fault), and often more than happy to lend a hand or make some noise, Enyo has a very long memory. Once she is scorned, no teaching or religious rebuke will keep her from extracting equal and swift revenge. She is a devout worshipper of Lanostre, but has surrendered herself to the service of Varya, just as the goddess had. She takes great pride in herself and her skills. 

Familial Bonds:
Enyo loves her stepmother deeply...her eldest siblings and father suspect the love is more intense than a daughter should have for her mother and have vocalized these thoughts often. These veiled accusations would often be met with a scathing glare and a curt, cutting comment about her father's incapability to please his wife and his inability to meet any of her needs, hence the jealousy and projecting; or that her siblings were simply jealous that their mother loved her more.

She has a soft spot for the sister closest in age to her as well as her younger brother. Enyo has been known to dote on them both during her vacation. Their bond runs so deeply, that her sister put off her dream wedding for nearly a year and a half, just so Enyo was able to attend. Her brother takes extreme pride in his half-sister and her accomplishments. He was usually the loudest of the family, seconded by her stepmother, whenever she competed in the games (which was every year once she was allowed to). Her love has not extended to her brother-in-law, whom is too much like their father, in her opinion. Despite this fact, she downright spoils her niece and nephew.

Background: Enyo was born to a poor, single Varyan woman. The woman cared for her miracle daughter, whom was nameless, the best that she could. Ultimately though, she was dying and had no family to care for the child. Seeing no other choice, she violated the promise she'd once made and went to the girl's father. The man's wife answered the door and brought the dying woman and her child into the noble's home. 

After listening to the woman's story, the infant began to cry in hunger. The woman lamented and apologized quietly to the child for she feared to feed the infant in worry of the disease that ran through her. Taking pity on the woman and feeling her own motherly instincts rear, the incensed wife gently took the child and suckled her. The child ate greedily and kept a strong grip on the woman's finger. The wife was entranced by the child whom began to cry again. She looked up to ask what was wrong, only to see the woman slumped over and no longer breathing. The woman comforted the child best as could.

When her husband returned home to see his secret mistress laying on the family couch and his wife with a strange baby across from her he was enraged and asked his wife what was going on. An argument ensued. In the end the child was to assimilate into the family, despite her bearing the coloring of her mother, while her mother would be buried in the family grave plot. 

The following years found the child- whom was later named "Enyo" for the war-like argument and sides that popped up when she was taken in- had to play catch up with her half-siblings. Her stepmother treated the girl kindly, for she saw untapped potential in the girl and cared for her deeply. She trained the girl personally in her toddler years into childhood. She watched proudly when the six year old punched her older half-brother's lights out after he took her toy spear and prevented her husband's interference in the matter. The eldest boy had been quite spoiled, and she reasoned that it was good for him to have some sense knocked into him. The favoritism was obvious between the couple and the children, and led to deep seeded, almost malicious rivalries between the eldest two and Enyo. 

The girl grew quickly after than, for in the middle of her seventh year of life, she was much taller than her half-siblings had been at her age. She helped her mother and older sister with her younger brother when she wasn't practicing her letters, numbers, and weapons. The three were nigh inseparable once they all connected: if the boy was napping, Enyo watched over him while she cuddled with her sister. If her sister was doing some knit work, Enyo was playing with her brother a few feet away. A few months later, her step-mother offered her up for the Red Seminary, and told the girl she would bring the honor to both herself, her, and her mother as well as to spite her father and her meaner siblings. The girl allowed a few tears when she hugged her closest siblings once more, then sobbed when she hugged her stepmother before she was led away. 

Talents/Ethereal Abilities: Enyo was gifted with and honed impressive physicality and physical capabilities. She has taken much care to hone any practices that increases her strength, reflexes or agility, and has been gift with an impressive mind for technology for her race. She has no known spells, as she barely passed her classes for that particular skill. After her classes, she instead put her energy and ether into her own personal skill and combat related skills. As such, she can manipulate her own ether as impressively as she can her weapons, but most of the skill goes unseen.

Enyo's personal ethereal ability allows her to draw on the ether of other people for her own personal use. Unlike modern ways of drawing ether, Enyo can control how much ether she takes and whether her victim feels euphoria or utter pain, or even both. In the same way, she can also transfer her ether to another for their use as well. Unlike her equipment, she cannot use this ether for weapons or as a power source. The ether is only to be "consumed" to boost her own ether if she is mortally wounded. She must be careful though, for the feeling is addicting, and should she take too much ether within herself, she can kill herself.

Equipment:
Mother Enyo's equipment allows her to use a person's ether when used in conjunction with her personal weapon, Omega, in combat. Her shield, Alpha, collects the ether from the dying person when Omega is docked on it, and then stores it as power for the two pieces of equipment. From there, Enyo can manipulate the ether as if it were her own for the purpose of transforming the weapon and shield into their other weapon forms. 

These pieces were commissioned by her stepmother and were gifted upon finishing her "Demon Year"

Alpha's transformations: 
Buckler, Hoplon (circular shield), gauntlet (default), the rear end of her rifle. 

Omega's transformations: 
Doru (Hoplite's Spear), Bastard Sword (not due to length, but because it is reflects its "bastard" wielder. It combines the xiphos (19 inches in length, vague leaf shape, deep center indention) with a Broadsword (heavier towards the base, stylized pommel and hilt))., front end of her rifle, a small, palm sized "torch" that attaches to her gauntlet for a longer lasting light source or to use it as a blunt force object (default).
