[b]Nickname/Alias::[/b] Lady of War. [b]Gender::[/b] Female [b]Age and date of birth::[/b] 23. December 13th[/center] [center][b]Guild::[/b] Harpy’s Wing. [b]Rank::[/b] A-Class. [h3]Personal Information[/h3][/center] [center][b]Personality::[/b] Alexandria is fair and refined. She prefers diplomacy and practical efforts instead of combat, but is well aware of the need to, when the time is right, raise a sword for your cause. Alexandria doesn’t like to pass judgement too harshly upon others, for she knows that, from time to time, we all make mistakes in judgement. However, once Alexandria has decided you are worth her scorn, she very rarely forgives. Despite this, Alexandria is overall pleasant to be around and, when among friends, drops a lot of her “in command” acting and treats everyone equally.[/center] [center][b]History::[/b] Alexandria was taken from the streets to serve as a maid in a noble home. She doesn’t remember who her real parents are, but it’s not something she really dwells on. Alexandria was trained in the ways of maidship and noble acting. Years went by, and the noble home was brought into a feud over trade rights. A group of assassins snuck into the house, and slew several members of the family. The guards of the home responded eagerly, but several fell. Alexandria came to see what the commotion was, and was frightened when a sword spun to her feet. Looking around at the situation, Alexandria was shaken to her core by what she saw. Grabbing up the sword, Alexandria raised it and felt words leap to the tip of her tongue. Shouting out, Alexandria cried. “We must not falter!” A wave exploded from Alexandria. Her vocal chords ached, and she could no longer speak. However, the guards seemed to bolster themselves. Their weapons and armor gleamed in the faint light and with a burst of strength, they cut the assassins down. Alexandria fainted, and woke several hours later in a place unknown to her. An aging man grinned at her and commended her effort. Alexandria had it explained that she had used a type of voice magic. Alexandria had been lucky, that had been a fully powered spell, and most people would’ve had severe trouble recovering from such an effort. Thankfully for Alexandria, the remaining family was wealthy enough to pay for treatment at a nearby guild. Alexandria was drafted into the guild for further training, soon grew to learn the other types of magic flowing within her body. She named her abilities “The arts of war” and continued to hone her unique talents. The guild members began to call her the “Lady of War” with how much she focused on magical and physical training. When news came of the Dark Guild attack and the formation of Golem’s Hand, Alexandria chose to bid farewell to her current guild and travel to join the Harpy’s Wing guild. Alexandria was worried about further attack on the city and potential infighting between the two guilds, and wanted to use her prior experience with diplomacy to try and keep tensions down.[/center] [center][h3]Magic[/h3][/center] [center][b]Magic Name::[/b] The Arts of War.[/center] [center][b]Description::[/b] The Arts of War is a mixture of advanced [url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Requip]Requip[/url] magic and unique [url=http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Sound_Magic]Sound magic.[/url] The Arts of War focuses on shifting Alexandria’s combat style to suit the battlefield and using her magical shouts to embolden her allies as she charges into the fray. Alexandria's shouts function as a caster magic. They're powered by her vocal cords/voice box, and her throat glows while she is using them. This is why she wears a collar with most of her armor as it hides the effect. These shouts are taxing on her voice to use, and as such only one or two may currently be used per fight before Alexandria is rendered mute for the rest of the fight and, without treatment, potentially the rest of the day. Another problem is that the shouts affect those within earshot. So if someone is hard of hearing or temporarily hard of hearing then the shout might not work on them as well as it would work on others, or it might not work at all if the target is completely deaf. Alexandria has trained herself to not be affected by her negative or offensive based shouts, but the same cannot be said for friend and foe when her offense-oriented shouts are used.[/center] [center][b]Known Spells::[/b][/center] [center]Requip - Standard: Equips Alexandria’s default gear. See her primary image for reference.[/center] [center]Requip - [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/31/aa/5f/31aa5f4592d1f3ad923f2a190b1e49ed--fantasy-warrior-fantasy-art.jpg]Heavy Knight[/url]: Alexandria equips a set of heavy armor along with a large shield and a lance for combat where she plans or expects to be the primary target. Her movement is drastically slowed thanks to all of the heavy gear, but the lance packs a powerful punch and her armor and shield provide vastly increased protection from mundane attacks.[/center] [center]Requip - [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/1d/a9/a7/1da9a7c3d9be0f7b2f77e1f25de8c028--female-characters-fantasy-characters.jpg]Archer.[/url]: Alexandria switches to a lighter set of equipment and a longbow to provide more ranged support to the group. This renders her more vulnerable to damage, but allows her to engage a wider variety of opponents.[/center] [center]Requip - [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/21/ba/7a/21ba7a8c1bf411a1cf2b801085f3d02d--female-armor-female-knight.jpg]Twin Blade Fighter.[/url]: Alexandria equips this armor when one sword is not enough and increased defense is not entirely needed. It’s a heavier set of armor, but still lighter than her heavy knight gear, and a pair of broadswords for each hand.[/center] [center] Requip - [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/30/8a/f2/308af26521b731c6a1b152904db1bfa1--fantasy-artwork-female-art.jpg]Berserker[/url]: Alexandria's only current set of magical armor. This armor heavily empowers her strength, stamina, and speed in exchange for offering pitiful defense. In addition, it grants a personal version of the buff from her "Maintain the Offensive!" shout that lasts as long as she has the armor equipped, enhancing her strength even further and enabling her to heal rapidly. However, despite the stamina boost, this armor is taxing to wear, and wearing it for extended periods of time can be damaging to Alexandria's health, especially since it benefits from maintaining a large amount of adrenaline in her bodies systems, which places a lot of stress upon her organs and can lead to failure if it's maintained for too long. (A [url=https://youtu.be/wlFTRLKboFo]demonstration[/url] of what the effects of the armor can look like. Mildly graphic.)[/center] [center]Shout - Rally: The shout that Alexandria learned first. This shout bolsters the spirits and strength of those that hear it, enabling them to fight on for a longer period of time by restoring some physical stamina and bolstering their strength for a short amount of time. Shout - Stay with me!: Alexandria’s least favorite shout, but one of her most useful. When used near fallen allies, it holds their wounds closed temporarily and wakes the unconscious and usually allows them to get up and escape. It’s a temporary measure, and proper medical treatment is a must. Shout - Maintain the offensive!: Alexandria’s favorite shout, as it allows allies to be more effective in battle. Those within earshot of this shout have their natural healing streamlined and accelerated, which allows them to heal up quickly. The adrenaline present in their bodies is also supercharged, granting them increased strength and agility. However, this does come with a cost. Such levels of adrenaline are generally not healthy, and can put pressure on the organs if the affected are not careful. As another problem, the increased energy used will mean that stamina will deplete much faster, so prolonged combat is harmed while under the effects of this shout.[/center] [center]Shout - None shall stop the Crusade!: An offense oriented shout, Alexandria simply screams at the top of her lungs. Typically this wouldn't do too much, but with her magically augmented voice it has the power to make ears bleed within five meters and pull the bark off of trees some distance away. It can also throw all but the heaviest enemies away from Alexandria with enough force to break bones upon impact. However, there is a catch: This shout doesn't discriminate. So it'll hurt friend and foe alike if they stray too close.[/center] [center]Shout - Flatten the Battlefield: A utility shout. Alexandria hates illusion magic and magic that affects the mind in general, and as such this shout is a specific counter to the tricky ways that illusion magic and other types of mental-affecting magic can be used. When Alexandria uses this shout, illusion magic can literally shatter under its effect, and other mental affecting magics can be chased away with ease. More powerful magic requires a longer shout or multiple shouts to dispel, but even one shout is enough to weaken most illusion or mind affecting magic.[/center] [center][h3]Other[/h3] [b]Relatives::[/b] No blood family, but has ties to the few remaining members of her adoptive family. [b]Possessions::[/b] Several suits of armor and sets of weapons to go along with them, along with a a few dozen different sets of regular clothes for different formal or casual occasions. A decent sum of jewels to spend when needed, and a few important things for the battlefield like first aid kits and rations.
