CS relocated for consistency: [hider=The Black Knight] Name: Lady Olivia, once of House Blackmoore Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 26 [img]https://i.imgur.com/iybI78W.jpg[/img] Bio: Olivia's service to Count Blackmoore was decided at birth. Her father was their lord's favored champion and, as such, was often sent far afield to represent his interests. During the brief periods he was home, he trained his daughter in swordsmanship and extolled the virtues of service to a worthy master. When he was away, tutors lectured her on letters, etiquette, and the history of House Blackmoore. Her years as a squire were hard and rewarding, but as Olivia came into her own, her father's age and war wounds began to take their toll. Finally, fate caught up with the aged champion and he died quietly in his sleep. In the wake of his death, rumors began quitely spreading amongst the servants and common folk of sinister plots and mysterious lights emanating from the lord's manor. It was during this period of mistrust and slander that Olivia was granted knighthood and a place at her lord's side. The darkness growing within House Blackmoore revealed itself in small ways. Overly vocal servants were quickly and quietly replaced with complaint ones, dissidents that would have been handled with diplomacy were instead put to the sword, and Count Blackmoore himself was seen less and less even by his newest champion. Eventually, the bubble burst. Whether by design or accident, no one knows, but one evening, a horde of undead monstrosities tore their way out of the manor's cellar and slaughtered their way through the servants and retainers. In a desperate bid to save her lord, Olivia fought her way to his study, only to find a magic circle that still glowed with the energies of whatever ritual had taken place. An open tome on the desk detailed a ritual that promised to grant everlasting unlife to the caster, but at considerable cost of human life. Incensed at being made to serve a master that would gleefully sacrifice his loyal subordinates for something so pointless as immortality, Olivia carved a bloody path through the monsters that had ravaged her childhood home and searched extensively for her traitorous lord. Perhaps the ritual had backfired, or maybe he had been spirited away by unknown allies, but no trace of him or his body were ever found. With no lord to tie her down, and no taste for remaining in the accursed manor house, Olivia turned her back on a life of privilege and has instead been searching for a worthy cause to lend her blade to. As fate would have it, she found the Bloodrose Irregulars. In the months since joining, she quickly became a squad leader and has even been called upon to offer advice regarding the nobility. Since being granted command, her unit has suffered nearly no casualties and no fatalities, owing to her stalwart defense of those under her and her rigorous training regime. Fighting Style: Sword 'n' Board Equipment: - Gilded Platemail: A symbol of her fallen lord's favor, the elegantly decorated suit of platemail possesses enchantments to protect against blades, arrows, and fire. - The Black Blade: Taken as a reminder of her service, the gleaming sword of the Blackmoore family has a long, bloody history and even now bears the subtle stink of undeath. - Blackmoore Family Shield: A masterfully crafted shield bearing the Blackmoore family's crest that has been enchanted to protect the bearer against death magic. Skills/Abilities: - Stand Tall, Stand Firm: When others would falter or break, Olivia holds fast against impossible odds and certain doom. - Knight's Challenge: Olivia may issue a personal challenge to noteworthy enemies such as champions or commanders. Only dishonorable cowards with no pride would dare refuse such a challenge. - Black Knight: The Knights of House Blackmoore have a long history as mage-killers, as such, Olivia is resistant to direct magical attacks.
