Name: Faira Blodwen
Race: Human
Gender:  Female
Age: 27

Faira is tall and broad, her body is covered in stretch marks like a cat's stripes, the result of her Bloodheat expanding her muscles spontaneously.

Bio: Faira would love to tell people she lost her eye in battle, but she's no liar and the truth is it was injured in a shipwreck when she was small, and traveled aboard the merchant ship her father owned. She was pulled from the water near the shore of Dragon's Maw by a beastman named Erevan. He took Faira in, and taught her some of his ways.

Faira got on well enough wit Erevan's natural born daughter, Arn, until they were teenagers. It was found that Faira had the same elemental affinity to Life magic as Erevan, and he took her on as an apprentice to learn his family's traditional magic. Arn, who took after her mother with Earth magic, was jealous of Faira for this, and stopped calling her a sister. Though generally thick skinned, Faira was devastated by this change, and soon left to go see the world of humans that she was born in, but could barely remember.

The skills she learned in Dragon's Maw were best suited to combat, and she found work back in the Grand Empire as a mercenary.

Personality quirks:
Traits
1. When I set my mind to something, I follow through no matter what gets in my way.

2. I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups.

Ideals: I would rather die than betray a friend.

Bond: Found Family. The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

Flaw: I fear I do not belong, despite my loyalty.

Friends/Rivals:
Erevan Blodwen, a beastman who rescued Faira when she was young, and raised her as a daughter.

Arn Blodwen, Faira's adopted sister. They were close once, but Arn is jealous that Faira was able to learn family magic that Arn herself could not.

Fighting Style: Southclaw. A ferocious style of swordplay, utilizing a bastard sword, sometimes accompanied by a large hunting knife. Rarely using a shield or heavy armor, it is weakest to ranged attacks that it is unable to block.

Equipment: A bastard sword, a wicked curved knife, fairly basic studded leather armor.
The knife is called Emberclaw, and has two small soulstones set on either side of the pommel. One is fire, the other earth. The spells carved into the blade will heat the metal white hot, while the earth magic preserves the blade's integrity, and prevents the heat from expanding beyond the guard. The spells activate at once, but the fire has four charges, while the earth only has three. It is activated by tasting the weirder's own blood. She won it in an arm wrestling contest with a captain she worked under once.

Skills/Abilities: Bloodheat. A special skill learned from her adopted family, in which one floods their body with life magic, strengthening it temporarily. It can take an enormous toll on the bones and ligaments, but makes the user faster and stronger than before. It also causes a fever, hence the name, and is dangerous over long periods.

@Gisk Faira looks good ill accept.

As for your other question. Most of the Prince's guard is pulled from those who stand out in the Empire military, but the rest are made up of those the prince hand picked himself. The second group doesn't have to be part of the military or even a citizen of the empire really, just an individual whom the prince deems worthy and trusts enough to offer the position to. (Faira seems to fall in this catagory)

I'm all good. Just waiting for everyone to post before things get going. There is no need to rush as long as everyone still wants to continue with the story

@Arthanus I have a few questions on the drow, their culture and stuff? Are we following the more Dungeon and Dragon version, yes? Or are there differences?

Also, would it be possible for one guard to be more of an assassin/mage type?

My big inspiration for the races in this mainly came from Warhammer and not dnd for the most part. Although dnd drow are pretty close so using them as a templet could work. And yes there could be a mage or assassin in the kings guard @LadyRunic

@Arthanus Now this probably isn't allowed, but you don't know til you ask. Is there a limit to the number of characters we can play? I would assume one character per person.

I would say for now one character at a time and see how things play out and then maybe I'll let people play multiples

@ReusableSword@LadyRunic I'll still be accepting a few more players but I think I'll start moving the story forward tomorrow evening. @Fetzen again your free to post whenever you wish, and I'll let any of our late comers post in when their characters are accepted.

@Arthanus It's a bit rough, but tell me if anything is incorrect and what you think.
