Very much a WIP but I am posting to get this CS format to you guys. [hider=S'venia][center][b]Name:[/b] S’venia Dalamor [b]Gender: [/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 47 [b]Race:[/b] Elven [b]Appearance: [/b] [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/2nq5i4p.jpg[/IMG] S’venia stands at a height of five feet five inches tall with a lithe frame that is filled with a toned muscular build. She has long, slight unkept, hair that falls down just above the midsection of her back. She has a face that appears to be innocent enough until you catch a glare from her piercing golden eyes. Her armor, as well as every aspect of her clothing, is very sleek and to the point; with very few fancy frills thrown in. [b]Personality:[/b] Cold, calculating, and brutally honest. S’venia is a woman who has spent her whole life dedicated to the Goddess Rofella. She is rarely caught with a smile, instead a near permeant frown is always found on her face as if she is perpetually disappointed in one thing or another. When she enters a room, her eyes are constantly scanning, her ears constantly listening, and she is always ready to act if the situation demands it. Brutally honest when asked question, S’venia responds with ill-regard for how the truth with handled once given. Though as negative as she can seem, she is not without her redeeming qualities. For one, she has one of the better tactical minds that the Kingdom of Aurr has produced in decades. While she is not as experienced as the other commanders, she has the ability to draw up ferocious assaults on the fly and is relentless in her pursuit of victory. Secondly, she values the lives of not only her soldiers, but her potential enemies as well. If peace is an option, she will explore it until it’s taken out of her control. She is constantly training and preparing those under her for battle while teaching them the ways of diplomacy. [b] History: [/b] S’venia was born during an intense snowstorm in one of the many fortress cities to a poor family who was ill-equipped to raise a daughter in this harsh landscape. At the young age of five, S’venia was taken to the temple after her parents disappeared in the jagged landscape. For most of her adolescent years, she was taught the history of the Kingdom, the worships of Rofella and the art of war. Eventually it was discovered that she had a natural affinity for combat, particularly tactical decisions, and was further trained by the military. By the time she reached thirty years of age, she had risen through the ranks and was given her first command over a small force that patrolled the mountains. Her patrol, though clever tactics and numerous success was increased in scale and scope and renamed the Snow Leopards. For the next fifteen years, S’venia and the Leopards protected the Kingdom from bandit threats and from the Wild Ones as well. Often when they discovered a bandit camp, S’venia would approach and sue for a peaceful disbandment of their force while the rest of her army, camouflaged against the snow backdrop, maneuvered for the battle. If they accepted the peace, S’venia would allow the bandits to live and instead take them back to the towns to work out their sentence. If they denied the peace, her Leopards would pounce and end them quickly. When the Council of Seven called for war, the more veteran commanders answered their call. When the Council of Seven called for a search for the missing god, Rofella, S’venia was selected. She was given Rofella’s weapon, the Sword of Ruin, and tasked with taking a small force to aid in the search. [b]Equipment: [/b] Sword of Ruin - The sword used by Rofella herself, the Sword of Ruin is a simple arming sword in appearance with an edge sharper than any blade known thus far. Perfect in every category, it is a sword wielders dream to use. It does, however, call out for it's mother. The sword want's to be reunited with Rofella herself and as such, it gives it's wielder clarity on what direction to travel to find the Goddess. -Dagger -Plate armor chest -Armored sleeve [b]Forces:[/b] [hider=The Snow Leopard's] 40 Snow Leopard foot soldiers – 20 Snow Leopard archers The Snow Leopards are highly trained soldiers that focus on non-traditional, maneuvering warfare where distractions and flanking are favored. Often-times camouflaged, they use the area around to their advantage in combat. When at full strength, they will deploy a portion of their force as a decoy, with ragged battle lines that invite direct assault from the opposition. All the while the archers and the rest of the unit flanks around and positions themselves against many separate flanks of their enemies. It is when the enemy falls into their trap do they pounce. Utilizing their overlapping fields of fire, the foot soldiers draw their short bows and unleash a hail of arrows above their enemies, forcing them to raise their shields before the archers, with the long bows, place strategic shots into the sides of their foes. After the archers have exhausted their quivers, and the enemy depleted of forces, do the foot-soldiers charge in and finish off the enemy. That is not their only strategy but it is one of their more effective ones to use on disorganized bandit bands and common enemies in the north. In the south, they have dropped their snow leopard cloaks and have grabbed ones that blend in better with the lush forests that they now travel, and are in the process of learning new tactics that benefit them in this new arena.
