Hive Mind[/i] [b]Unique Trait[/b]: [i]Null-Unholy[/i]: An Anti-Demonic barrier is erected upon Renaldo, Nullifying a single (1) Demonic/Unholy/Blood Magic. Magics which corrupt the soul and taint the spirit are nullified and rendered ineffective. -Weapons imbued with such cursed magics are weakened, but not nullified fully. As a side-effect of the barrier, Renaldo becomes more susceptible to Holy damage, -Elemental/Telepathic and the like are not nullified. All other non-elemental spells (healing, debuffs, buffs, mind-control etc.) can pass through the Nullification barrier. Can only be cast on Renaldo. [b]History:[/b] Renaldo Ysattara's upbringing has its origins in the defunct Papacy on his human father's side. although Renaldo himself was once a member of Clergy, his allegiance to the Papacy of yore has faltered. His Elven mother, who would eventually disconnect herself from the scandal and turmoil of the Papacy, became a priestess of the Templar Order shortly after the banishment of the Gods. A superstitious woman, his mother often warned Renaldo of the magical folklore that exist out there. She would tell tales of witches and werewolves, beasts who wore the facade of a human by day, but when the Moon rose, they transformed into something primal. His Elven mother had quite a few decades under her belt, much more than his father, so he often heeded her advice. Renaldo parents instilled in him religious tolerance and he has carried that over into his adulthood. Renaldo was born in the capitol and has been a city-dweller most of his life. For a while, life was simple and relatively carefree. Renaldo had purchased a young white mare, which he named Renegade. By now, Renaldo was 24 and had his whole life ahead of him. Then, strange disappearances were reported by the townships of Rheinfeld. Grotesque, dismembered and drained of blood, many corpses were found on the outskirts of the city. People feared the town may be being terrorized by a serial killer, or worse. On a humid, moonlit night, Renaldo was out to fetch some water from the local well and upon returning to the stables, he discovered his prized Renegade had gone missing. After tracking down a few leads, he explored the wooded outskirts of a quaint village. He entered the forest and horror painted his face as he eventually discovered what he already knew in the back of his mind. It was the mangled body of Renegade, sprawled atop a giant stone slab - virtually unrecognizable were it not for the saddle he last wore, strewn around his body. There was no doubt in his mind, this must have been the work of some perverse, horse-sacrificing cult. That day, Renaldo promised himself he would do anything possible to quell any uprising of the "Dark Arts." Shortly thereafter, a King's Ranger recruited him to the Queen's Blades, which Renaldo eagerly accepted. Regarding his amnesia after a bout in the Sea of Blood, Renaldo views his newfound powers as both a curse and a blessing. Shortly after washing up ashore in his homeland, he found himself drawn to grimoires detailing the Dark Arts, and the darker side of Magic. He studied this primarily as a way to defend himself against those who would dare use such unholy magic, but soon realized that such magic in the possession of a good mage, could be utilized "properly" and safely. Perhaps he had been too judgmental on those he views as "Unpure" - necromancers, cultists, the undead, vampires, etc. After all, he prided himself on being tolerant of other religions, particularly ancient religions which predate empires built by mortal men and this was the God's ironic way of punishing him for his trespasses. Although his [i]Hive Mind[/i] trait seems to be a natural extension of [i]Linked,[/i] and can use both skills separately or in conjunction, he would rather not bear this burden. [b]Motivation:[/b] Renaldo has a stoic demeanor that is offset and balanced by periodic profound compassion. His religious background and close contact with the clergy of Rheinfeld ensure he is as anti-social as he is personable. With an eternal thirst for knowledge, Renaldo is the ultimate busybody. He seeks all information, regardless of origin. In the face of danger, is cool and collected. With the steadily increasing presence of cultists and vampires in the world, Renaldo views The Queen's Blades as a venue with which to quell this threat to his religious beliefs. In addition to restoring glory to the Kingdom, he wishes to reunite Rheinfeld's fragmented people under one banner, subservient to the Gods. -Romance: It's all good. With both genders.
