[list][*][u][b]Name[/b][/u]: Charname Avilone [*][u][b]Age[/b][/u]: 24 [*][u][b]Gender[/b][/u]: Female [*][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]: [url=https://safebooru.donmai.us/data/sample/sample-28151a2ad8412568d3da1ff76f5b13d0.jpg]Beware the quiet ones.[/url] The glasses are, in fact, normal glasses… though given the nature of her employment, blocking mystic eyes [i]also[/i] became a necessary backup. [*][u][b]Personality[/b][/u]: Charname isn’t a terribly confident person in some regards, particularly not socially, but nor is she excessively shy. In the end, though, she would be happier in the stressful situations that most people avoid, where her skills and upbringing are of more use—rather than having to make conversation over things that simply don’t matter. Her opinion on maids is a conflicted one. On the one hand, she likes the look and would join Erika in appreciating them… on the other hand, she very much does not like being [i]dressed[/i] as a maid and wishes she could have some more intimidating attire. This might explain why she stands up to her boss where she would silently accept other people. [*][u][b]Skills[/b][/u]: Despite her employment, Charname lacks the abilities of a maid. Cleaning? An excellent way to get something broken or parts overlooked. Cooking? She can determine if your food has been tampered with but not actually [i]cook[/i] something herself, in which case poison is the expected result. The real bulk of her skills are hand-to-hand skills, with a particular focus on knives as both useful where magecraft is concerned and simply for dealing with threats, but experience with other weapons as well. Quite unbecoming for a magus, she doesn’t scorn the use of firearms—depending on the situation, quite anything could be of use. [*][u][b]Abilities[/b][/u]: Despite their lack of interest in the conceptual possibilities of magecraft, the Avilone have had through the generations a strong desire to perfect the [i]practical[/i] use of such things for their own needs. For instance, their approach towards Bounded Fields is peculiar; rather than focus on grand defences and territory, it is one of “what is most useful on the individual scale”. For instance, what is the distinction between delineating inside and outside on clothing rather than buildings? Even in part, buildings will move, and that within them switch about. A narrow loophole that, through sheer pedantry, allowed for establishing bounded fields on their attire. In Charname’s case, this gives her deep pockets. [i]Very[/i] deep pockets; every implement or weapon that she feels might be reasonably useful on her person, at once. Her preference for using knives follows a similar route, a brief field established by carving runes is an excellent emergency barrier, or trap. Of course, even the non-bounded field uses are useful… as are rune-based curses like Gandr. Given the amount of armament both physical and metaphysical that Charname carries, it should be no surprise that part of her contract—one not even necessarily stated to her owner—includes a particular geas: if she should need to give her life then it will be done, regardless of her possible thoughts on the matter. For this reason, self-sacrificial techniques are also within her abilities. [*][u][b]Brief Backstory[/b][/u]: The Avilone family is one with no interest in reaching the Root, no grand history or lineage to draw on. They are a lineage who took one look at the wealthy, established magus families and came to the conclusion: the best way to prosper is to attach ourselves to them. Thus, for generations the main line has itself provided protection to the Maidandora and trained their heir as such. That which would not be of use in their chosen role and hangers-on to luxury was ignored. The demand that she be employed as a maid was quite the insult to Charname’s pride, even if there was no escaping the requirement. [*][u][b]Faction: Mage Association[/b][/u][/list]
