For the Schluss family to achieve forgiveness in penance, So that it may prosper. Command Seal: Located on the bottom of her tongue, consisting of three straight parallel lines. Personality: [i]First and foremost I must let it be known, I am more then willing to take you, and all that work with you with me. For my life is no more important to me then a discarded bullet casing. You however might have a different opinion about your own life, and that is why we are even having this discussion...[/i] Agria Schluss, a woman whoms will to live is not out of an act of self preservation but out of a iron-clad will to make her death mean something. As such her personality can be a little morbid as she will willingly remind those that annoy her about her lack of self-imposed worth. This can make it grating to be around her as she remains serious even in times of safety. That said, The lack of self-imposed worth is also her greatest strength. It leads to her being unpredictable. Magus whom are generally very 'survival' orientated will not resort to the tactics that Agria allows to have on the table. The only imposed restriction is failure. Everything else is an option. However even with this mindset, she does not act in a manner that forsakes the lives of others. In fact she actively avoids innocents when she can, and holds great distaste for harming children. Even refusing to raise child-corpses even if they are the only corpse in abundance due how dishonourable it would feel to her which may hint to a underlying weakness. Bio: What is death to a magus, For many it is an inevitably, For some it is something to be avoided at all costs. Yet the smallest fraction of them all is the one that actively hold a death-wish. The Schluss Linage is a wondering magus family that was founded during the 14th century. Around the era in which the bubonic plague was ravaging Europe. This is when the family developed its strange fixation around death. However… they adopted a hardcore ideology based around penance something that leads them to be difficult when such a topic is discussed . Perhaps due to their the first founders charisma or that lasting sense of guilt installed in each heir as a result of the first founder... the ideology they adopted at the time of founding persisted with them. “Sacrifice Child. For unless you are dead, you must always give a little more.” The closeness the family has to death and its resulting suicidal tendencies in its heirs is notable in that as practitioners of necromancy. The Family is never too far from a battlefield or site of great death. Improving their craft of manipulation over the dead with a martyr complex and outstanding vigour they give everything to develop their craft as if to seek penance from their failures, failures that appear to stem from a deep rooted mental issue within the family, one that appears to stem as both a biological factor as well as a personality one.. And the most recent heir was no different. Raised from birth by her mother to hate herself for the sins of a long-forgotten era. To understand that the dead were the only morally righteous authority. For only the truly dead are absolved from such perverted notions of good and evil and to understand most importantly of all about the notion of sacrifice and the extent to which she must go. --- Magic Circuit Switch: The heart straining under intense pressure. Number of Magic Circuits: B Quality of Magic Circuits: B --- Elemental Affinity: Water Origin: Martyr [hider=Magecraft] [h2]Necromancy[/h2] Necromancy, One of the Thaumaturgical Systems and the one in which the Schluss family linage has held closely to it. Fitting then it would be that the soldier-like mentality of the average Schluss would lead them to adopt such a craft that relies on the dead. A practice born through the manipulation of corpses. Performing feats like raising simple zombies or giving birth to cobbled monsters. Their craft requires a large amount of dead bodies and as such they have never been far from danger. Agria is perhaps then one of the finest necromancers the family has had in generations due to both her innate curiosity and skill, rivalling and sometimes even surpassing the families founder when it comes to the art of reanimation. She is capable of raising numerous undead of high quality. From having them reenact biological functions they had in life, to completely unique aberrant ones, it all depends on the amount of time she has. [hr] Spiritual Evocation Magecraft A mage-craft in which Agria is a novice at best. Spiritual Evocation refers to the act of summoning spiritual entities, their manipulation, and even processing. In Agria's case she frequently makes use of Wraiths in particular. [/hider] Crest: 17 generations (Although the magecraft quantity inside seems to actually be extremely narrow. Magecraft relating to Necromancy are in great abundance. Making it a premier 'necromancer' crest as that is all the Schluss generally care to pass on.) Equipment: [hider=Military Expertise] Has had standard military training when it comes to the handling of fire-arms. Tends to gravitate towards assault rifles due to usability. Also has training in how to use explosives. [/hider] [hider=Mystic Codes] Schluss Family Heirloom: A golden band that goes around the upper arm. It negates magus spells of rank E or below. A perfect code for when one is engaged in battle with a mage. It also has the benefit of warding off weaker wraiths. Burial Mask: A personally requested mystic code that Agria had made for her. The Burial mask refers to a mask that is similar to a black surgical mask. When worn it has a concealing affect that greatly reduces her vital signs detectablity. Meaning body temperature, heart rate. Pulse, muscle movement are all be greatly reduced, but only whilst her breath is held (as a safety measure to prevent her from reaching a state where she is unable to take her mask off) It also protects her airways like a standard surgical mask.
