[b]History:[/b] When Albria Sumalt was excommunicated from the shared household, they took their family and moved to distant France, wanting to be as far away not only from the family that turned against them, but from Graivour who prophesied the events. With no further influence from their kin, Albria changed the family name from Sumalt to Louviere, to blend in better with their new environment and to remove any association they may have had with those left behind. Expanding on their belief of The Many, Albria believed that it the patron of War was both a single entity and a multitude - a great warrior, destined to fight the Enemy in the final battle, but comprised in this mortal coil of thirteen individual Scions of Light - holy warriors whose souls would grace the most powerful in a generation. Those born precursors had their anima searched by the elders of the family, and within the very recesses of their soul the Elders would find a name of one of the thirteen Scions. They believed so strongly in preparing for war against the Enemy that each Scion was trained by the very best, learning to master a single style of combat within their lifetime that they might prepare the anima within them just a little more for the inevitable great war.

Due to their holy conviction, the Louvieres became famed heroes and patrons of war - the Scions burned brilliantly in battle and craved a glorious death, that their Scion might return to the aether and find a new host to learn a new style of warfare. Over the years, many of the Thirteen were brought into the world - some many times, others only a few - but some Scions had never been named. Zodiark, the Keeper of Precepts, was yet to be ushered into the world, as was Fandaniel the Protector. Many believed that Fandaniel was an omen of the Great War, as until it was time for the battle to commence, what need did the mighty Louviere family have of a protector? Though they lost many of the number in each war, they knew it was in service to a greater task - that with each death, the resultant Scion would be more and more powerful, eventually able to form the great Patron of War with their brethren to serve The One and defeat The Enemy.

Though to be a Scion was a great blessing and the highest honour, there were rules to be followed clearly outlined in the holy scripture. Scions were devoted - wholly - to war. Their schooling was on strategy and tactics, not culture and art. Their physical regime was purely in the service of killing, not in providing succour. It was a great ask, but the Scions always shouldered their burdens with honour and poise, for The Enemy would surely not offer them any clemency, and nor could they afford to ask it of themselves. It was considered strictly forbidden for two Scions to mate - the resultant offspring could surely not carry the Anima of two Scions, and would be of no use to the family. Still, it happened far more often than most liked to admit, as the coupling of two precursors was far more likely to result in a precursor child than any alternative. The Scions themselves simply believed that their coupling would usher those Scions yet to grace the world with their presence, or those recently departed - and to a degree, they were correct.

Fandaniel si Louviere was ushered in to the world by the coupling of Pashtarot vi Louviere and Mitron su Louviere, two scions that had been reborn several times already - and was the focus of the entire Louviere family. Being born to two precursors, each with many imprinted talents, resulted in Fandaniel being born with a mastery of warfare that many could not achieve in multiple precursor lifetimes. Her knowledge of tactics was transcendent, her mastery of weaponry sublime, and her desire to kill nonexistent. She was Fandaniel the Protector, and though she was raised by her family to be an instrument of death, she was sworn by the very essence inside of her to protect. Though her birth was cause for great joy - as she was the first Fandaniel to surface - it was also an omen of the end times. She was the penultimate Scion to surface, and a large number of the Louvieres believed that the Great War was coming as a result of her birth. There were equally many who disagreed with this, however - Zodiark was not born, and so the Great War could not possibly start. Still, the family navigated carefully around her birth, several hundred years prior.

Fandaniel the Protector earned her namesake many times over the course of her military career. She was an integral part of the Louviere army in the great war - virtually unassailable in melee, and with a mind for tactics that rendered most mundane war strategies utterly devoid. Along with her fellow Scions, she slowly but surely swung the war in her family's favour. That said, the highlight of the Louviere family's victories was short-lived. Though immensely powerful, even among her fellow Scions, she was still only a single person. She had never been bested in honest one-on-one combat, but war was neither honest nor a duel. Her fellow Scions gladly threw themselves to their deaths, burning out in a brilliant blaze that they might pass their mastery on to the next Scion to be reborn - but Fandaniel the Protector simply could not let herself go. She still had purpose - she was to protect, and she had not learned enough to pass on to her next incarnation. It was custom that the Scions bore as many children as possible, but Fandaniel refused to breed with anyone that could not best her in combat. Many tried, and many failed - the elders of the family quickly grew contemptuous of her refusal to let go and allow Fandaniel's anima to be born into the world.

Though they would never set her up to fail, the Louvieres begrudged Fandaniel her solemn charge to protect. They placed her in riskier and riskier situations, begun to stop heeding her tactics and her advice, all ostensibly to allow her to achieve a flaming climax and pass on the soul of the Scion as all of her brethren had done before her - but she knew that she could not. Eventually, after one too many brushes with danger, Fandaniel relented and bore a son with Loghrif, the Transcendent. He was not born a precursor, and so he was taken away from his parents that they might try again, to bolster the dying populus of the precursors. Her next child, a girl, was born a precursor and named Ultima, the High Seraph - and though she wished for nothing but to teach her daughter the ways of war, she knew that all of that knowledge would come to her in time and the holy crusade called to her.

Fandaniel had always sought to protect as many as possible, but in the pursuit of martial perfection she had killed many she could, in another world, have called friends - and motherhood had left her emotionally raw, and physically drained. She began to lose faith in the teachings, began to doubt that the study of warfare was something she needed to do. This doubt ate away at her over the years to come, and after a particularly brutal campaign against her brethren in which she was the only survivor, she decided that she needed to flee. Fandaniel faked her own death, being declared missing and presumed dead, and fled the country. With great sorrow she left her children behind, knowing that to take them away from the family was to endanger them all, and made her way to Ominar to seek out the descendants of Graivour who bore the surname Taeryn.

Though warfare had been her life, she begun to realise that no matter the truth of the holy crusade she had given herself to, she could not watch her dying race fall before her and know that she had forsaken the one value she embodied most - Protection. Though she did not agree with the principles of the Taeryn family, she knew in her heart that they were (at least, on some level) right and only by uniting those who had seen enough loss would her people live for long enough to fulfil their ultimate purpose.

And so it was that Fandaniel si Louviere made her way to Ominar.

Magical/Technological

Crystals [Imprinted]
Vis Crystals of various types are used as currency for the five families. Because of this, the ability to make them has been passed down through the generations. 
 
Vis Sense [Imprinted]
The ability to sense, or feel vis in one's surroundings. Fandaniel’s vis sense is fine-tuned to the human form, but she is very adept at the art and is easily capable of determining the other races from one another after hundreds of years of training.
 
Student of Warfare [Imprinted]
Fandaniel bears the accumulated knowledge of each of her mother and father’s past lives – and is imprinted with extremely impressively detailed fighting styles for practically every known weapon. Fandaniel has mastered the art of the Shield herself, but is capable of using any non-unique weapon handed to her to the pinnacle of its ability (in theory).

Vis Armour [Imprinted]

Fandaniel is capable of shaping her vis into an ethereal set of armour that surrounds her. Due to the strength of her vis and her exceptional ability to manipulate it, the armour is strong enough to turn all but the strongest of physical blows and ward off most intermediate or lower spells. Each hit the armour takes and each spell deflected drains a proportional amount of vis to the force produced. This ability is passively always active.

Vis Shaping [Imprinted]
Fandaniel is unable to traditionally use vis. She is only really able to manipulate vis into the form of weapons, but the weapons she creates by shaping her own vis are very potent. Fandaniel is able to manifest any weapon at a moment’s notice from the arsenal that she has mastered – which is to say, almost any weapon at all.

Annulment [Not Imprinted]
The Louviere family has never manifested any exceptional talent with spellcraft. Most of their line are unable to use any form of magic beyond Vis Shaping, and using a mere fragment of a letter of the fundamental language of creation the earliest Scions of Light developed a magic that creates a field in which all vis is forcibly manipulated to become the same vis that comprises the field, resulting in the unravelling of traditional magic. Annulment is considered extremely rare among the Louvieres, with only Scions ever mastering it, and none ever passing it down to their children – Fandaniel learned it at an early age, and despite constant practice she is only able to imbue her shaped vis with Annulment, allowing her weapons to cut through magic and her shield to repel it. She is able to delay the effect of Annulment on her manifested weaponry for up to sixty seconds, after which the weapon disappears and Fandaniel must manifest it again, expending the vis to shape it once more.
