Elwen Gela “The Reaper’s Bride”


27


Female


Human


Elwen stands at 5'6" with an hourglass frame, but don't let her size fool you, she is stronger than she looks. She has fierce blue eyes that seem to peer into someones very soul, and pure white hair that she inherited from her fathers side. She also scar under her left eye from one of the final battles of the last war.







Before she left the Order, Elwen was a kind woman who took her role as a Knight in the Iron Rose seriously. But also had a fun sarcastic side. She would take all the new female recruits under her wing and help guide them.

However, now she is almost always in a state of irritance. Which seems to flare when ever she has had one too many drinks. Her sarcastic nature has increased but not in a fun loving way. But once in a while there can be a glimpse of her former self.



Elwen was born into the noble house of Gela. Though that wasn’t much higher than a commoner in the eyes of the other nobles. Her father, Sir Damon the Fearless; was as a well respected Knight despite his standing in nobility. He was a duelist and adept Mage, a rarity in the world. With two different studies that require time and effort to perfect, it brought suspicion upon the house.

Her mother died at childbirth, so she only knew of the things her father would say about her. Her father raised her...unlike many nobles who had their children raised by their nannies or butlers. Elwen wanted to be with her father always, even on his dangerous trips so she asked him to train her to be like him. With no desire to remarry and have more children, the decision came easy to him to pass on his knowledge to her.

He taught her like he was by his father. Personally teaching his sword techniques and knowledge of magic. Not going through a tutor or college. Elwen excelled, taking to it like a fish to water. With her strong mind and determination she quickly started holding her own against other squires her father would set up to spar with her, and even other knights when she was 14. Not to mention the bandits and criminals he would hunt down for the kingdom.

When she was 18, she decided to join the Iron rose. With years of hunting criminals and protecting villages, she now had a strong sense of justice and wanted to make a difference on a larger scale. Quickly making a name for herself just like her father did in his own way. Quickly gaining the title of “The Reapers Bride” in the last war. With her skills of the blade and her ease of use of magic, She tore through the battlefield often creating a path single-handed . Rumors started with her being a witch, which soon expanded to her making a pact with death itself as she seemed to make it through impossible situations, hence the name.

She didn’t let that get to her though, She was already used to people being suspicious of her father and her all her life. She didn’t mind the title as it struck fear into her opponents. Still even with that name she had no problem making friends and soon finding someone whom she fell in love with. She was happy.

Till five years ago when he was murdered.

Elwen couldn’t handle the pain of the loss of her love. She didn’t even figure out who MIGHT have done it. A sensless murder of a man who didn’t deserve it. The justice would remain unserved. Unable to handle this, she couldn’t remain she had to do something! So she left the Iron rose to hunt down her lovers murderer… any hint of a violent criminal or bandit she followed, no matter how remote. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t even related to his murder. She would hunt down each one as if they were the one who killed him and bring them to justice.



Enchanted long sword of Flame a gift from her father.
Dagger
light armor to complement her quick movements
multiple Flasks of alcohol of some kind. she never seems to run out.
most importantly a necklace with a wolf head on it. She always fiddles with it.



Mage - Evelyn has a strong and sharp mind. She is able to easily grasp the complexity of magic and learn low level to some mid level spells with ease. While others tend to only be focused on a single subject she has a wide range from all elemental to basic enhancements and healing. She can come up with different ways to make a simple spell help her in different situations. Thinking outside the box. Downside is that she doesn't know any high level magic.

Duelist - Like her father, she is a master with a blade and hand to hand combat. However, besides a dagger...she doesn't have any experience with other weapons. Not even a bow. She can use a shield but she likes to use two hands with her blade.

High tolerance to alcohol - She can drink any brute under the table. Its how she gets her booze for free.

Years of traveling made her comfortable living it in the rough. Finding food and basic tracking.



She just came back to the order.

She's a sort of boogieman to criminals everywhere. Though she really only kills murderers or very violent bandits.

"Worried about me? How about you try to keep up?"




Personal Information:



Name: Runa Liulfr
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Hundi
Appearance:
Standing just over five feet and 4 inches (5'4) tall, Runa has a rather small stature as is common amongst her kind. However, the young Hundi has an athletic build that slightly betrays her deceptive strength. Clearly defined muscles can be seen under her flawless skin, delivering a stunning appearance for the girl. Complimenting her toned form, Runa also has rather generous curves and generally is received as being a rather beautiful young woman. Her hair sits about shoulder length, starting out black and turning a pure white at the ends. While these features are common among humans, it is her traits unique to being a Hundi that tend to capture the most attention upon Runa. Two large, fluffy ears sit prominently atop her head, with black fur matching her hair along the outside, and white fur on the inside. Her eyes are heterochromatic, the right a beautiful golden while the left is a stunning sky blue in color. In the corners of her mouth, Runa has little fangs similar to that of a wolf. Her large, white, tail is also an easily identifiable marker for the young woman. One which commonly is used to betray the poor girl's emotions even if she is trying to hide them.

Typically, there are two types of dress for young Runa. Armored, and casual. She spends most of her time, being a member of the Iron Rose Knights, in her armor.

(Armor NOTE: Obviously, Runa is not the blonde in the armor, but that is pretty much how her armor and sword look).

Her casual attire is a bit more flaunting, with the more moderate climate of Thaln, Runa favors wearing a simple combination of tunic and shorts. The tunic, however, stops just above her belly button and the shorts only cover half her thighs. Both articles are jet black, a stark contrast to her pale skin. Her manner of dress is typically seen as a little scandalous among the general populace, but Runa simply finds the climate too warm to wear much more.

When needed to dress up for more formal events, the young Hundi opts for a long, black dress. One which ends just above the floor, and leaves the Hundi's back exposed. Down to the waist, the dress hugs her form tightly and bears only one sleeve, the other arm being bare. Overall, it gives the young woman a rather striking appearance when needed, though it's rather common knowledge among her fellows in the order that she strongly prefers to shed the formal attire for something more casual as soon as she can.


Personality:
Confident.

That is one word many use to describe the young Hundi. A girl who is a member of the Iron Rose Knights despite not being human, nor from a noble background, earned her place in the Order. If there is one thing that the girl embodies, it is confidence. She has no doubts in her mind about her skills, often venturing into the realm of overconfidence and feeling as if she can handle things that might be a bit too advanced for herself. Still, Runa manages to avoid the line of coming across as rude or looking down upon others. She just knows very well where she stands in the world. Though Runa is also a very emotional girl and can be rather quick to anger if she sees another being mistreated, and will often act on this emotion. Runa is generally regarded as an intelligent young woman as well, able to exploit the weaknesses of her enemies in battle.

Aside from her confidence, Runa is known to be a very energetic and outgoing girl. Seemingly always in a good mood, with a smile upon her features no matter where she goes. Things that catch her attention tend to distract her quickly, and she can be a bit overbearing as she gets caught in her own excitement. Though some might also call her eagerness, excitement, infectious. As her smiles and laughs seem to spread to many of those around her. She is a very friendly girl and oftentimes will go out of her way to meet new people. Typically striding straight up to others and introducing herself without a hint of fear. Runa is also known to be a bit of a flirt, finding a bit of enjoyment in the act of teasing others, and flirting back and forth. Being born of commoner heritage, Runa also tends to speak in a more... basic manner. Not using a lot of the speech patterns that are common among the nobility, and trying her hardest to relate to the struggles of those she is conversing with.

Runa is a selfless girl, oftentimes going out of her way or stopping what she is doing to help somebody else out if they're in need. She remembers some of the struggles growing up with only her father, as commoners, and having to get by on just his income. This memory and trait are core parts of what drives her as a knight, as Runa genuinely wants to help everybody around her. To make their lives easier, and protect them from danger. In combat, Runa is known to try to face threats head-on, viewing it as better to expose herself to danger more than any others. Though this attitude has caused the young woman to get hurt from time to time, it is still not something that she regrets. Runa is also a rather brave young girl, not something to be confused with being fearless, for even if something scares her, the Hundi is typically able to push through said fear for the sake of others.


Brief Backstory:
Runa is one of the few Hundi who is a native of Thaln, as she was born to a Hundi mother and a human father. Her mother, coming as a sellsword, had fallen in love early on with a young Smith who had helped her following an ambush that had nearly killed the woman. Though shortly after Runa was born to the two, her mother passed away from a sudden illness that had taken her. Leaving Runa's father alone with his daughter. As such, things were tight for the two for much of Runa's young life. Living on just the income of a lone smith made it so that Runa was not one of the kids who had many possessions, but still, she could not complain. The young girl spent most of her free time, as soon as she was able, helping her father out in the forges to make his work a bit easier. She also quickly learned to cook, eager to help take care of her father who had done so much for her.

From a young age, Runa took an interest in the Iron Rose Knights, a sort of childish fascination with the warriors protecting their realm. However, this fascination also drove the young Hundi to want to become one of those very knights. Asking her father for help, the man set up a small area for his daughter to train and taught her some of the basic combat skills he had learned from her mother. Over time, the girl's skills continued to improve as she practiced and trained nearly every day the best she could. As such, her days were often filled. Her young schedule being torn between academics, training, helping with the forge, cooking, and practicing her spellcasting. Day after day this continued until Runa finally had a lucky break. An elder member of the Iron Rose Knights and an old acquaintance of her father stopped by their home to visit the man. During this time, young Runa was practicing her swordplay and the Knight just happened to take notice. Moving out to her training area, the older man was impressed by her form, albeit it rudimentary without any formal training, and asked the young girl why she was practicing so hard. After a brief conversation and some light training, the Knight bid his farewell and went on his way.

A couple of months later, Runa received a letter offering to let her serve as the squire and train under the very man who had visited her those months ago. Which, naturally, the young woman jumped at the chance. For the following years, Runa diligently served under the knight and learned much about all the aspects of being a Knight. All the while, making some coin of her own which she frequently sent back to her father to help him. On her 21st birthday, Runa's dreams finally came true. During a visit back home to her father, Runa's mentor dropped by for 'just a chat'. However, it soon turned out to be much more. With a small ceremony soon following, Runa was inducted into the Iron Rose Knights as a Knight herself, her dreams finally coming to fruition. Her father, having already known of the development coming, then presented his daughter with the sword and armor he had made especially for her to celebrate the occasion. Now with the proper gearing and official rank, Runa was ready to step into the next phase of her life.


Combat Information:

Equipment:
Surtr: A hand-and-a-half (bastard) sword forged by Runa's father as a gift to his daughter for entering into the Iron Rose Knights. It is naturally imbued with the same elemental magics which Runa is naturally inclined towards, enabling the weapon to become wreathed in flames at the girl's will. This effect naturally enhances Runa's offensive capability as the heat of the flames is known to soften armor, seemingly making the blade cut through many things with ease. In addition, it's also a fantastic torch.

Vǫrðr: Runa's armor, custom-forged for her by her father. The plate provides ample protection while still allowing the young Hundi plenty of movement. It is also inscribed with the crest of Runa's family, on her mother's side, to show her heritage as a Hundi alongside this is the Order of the Iron Rose Knights' crest, showing Runa's proud loyalties.

Basic Survival Knife: Runa has a basic knife she can use for various purposes out in the field. Including minor repairs on armor, cutting through various vegetation, etc.

Armor/Weapon Maintenance Kit: Runa also has a very basic kit she keeps in a pack to help maintain her armor and weapon. A more in-depth kit is kept back at base. She uses this alongside skills learned from her father as she grew up helping with the forge.


Skills:
Martial Prowess: Runa is an extremely skilled combatant, able to hold her own with most types of weapons, but excelling in two particular areas. The first, usage of her hand-and-a-half sword, Surtr, in melee combat. In this area, the young Hundi was able to excel past most recruits of her age, holding her own in sparring matches against members older and more experienced than herself. The second area in which she excels is hand-to-hand combat. When disarmed during sparring matches, Runa has been known to unleash a flurry of blows that caught even the more experienced off-guard. The young woman showing herself to be quite adept when it came to using her fists.

Elemental Burst, Flames: Runa is naturally inclined towards using flame magics and has shown herself to be able to use such magic with reasonable capability. While unable to cast any particularly amazing spells, the young Hundi has a few tricks up her sleeves.

  • Inferno Blade: With the utterance of a single word, "Kynda", Runa is able to cover her blade in a burning sheath of flame. This spell enables Runa's blade to cut through most materials with relative ease, along with burning her opponents. A derivative of this spell is that she is able to generate a small, controlled flame in her palm. Serving to be able to light torches with ease.
  • Fireball: Requiring more concentration than her Inferno Blade, and a small incantation, Runa is able to hurl a medium size ball of flame at her opponents, the result being a small explosion where it lands. The projectile moves as fast as a thrown spear, so it can be dodged but receiving a direct hit is generally lethal to your average human.
  • Hel Walker: Runa is very resistant to naturally occurring flames, and minor resistant to those created via magical means. This means in several situations, the young girl can walk directly through an inferno to come after her enemy. However, this ability requires quite a bit of concentration and losing it does put her at risk of being burned.


Physical Condition: Runa is in excellent physical condition, despite her small frame she is able to keep up with human men who are at the peak of their condition. Her speed, strength, reflexes, and other physical abilities allow her to be considered among the peak of the Hundi, already known for their incredible martial prowess.

The Forge: Having helped her father with his forge for most of her young life, Runa is also decently skilled at using a forge. Be it forging new weapons, fixing broken ones, or crafting armor, Runa is capable of performing all these tasks. Though her skilled pales compared to a seasoned blacksmith, she is still rather decent.

Cooking:Growing up, young Runa had to learn how to cook in order to help take care of her father after a long day in the forges. Over time, she grew to be rather adept. Finding that she enjoyed the act, and could create some rather delicious meals. A skill which she still practices today, and tries to share with any who are willing.
