[color=fff200][b]Name[/b][/color]: Shavis "Shav" Namista

[color=fff200][b]Appearance[/b][/color]: Standing at a height of 6'1", standing near shoulder to shoulder with most of her older siblings, and with musculature that fits her constant training, Shav almost seems intimidating at first glance if not for the bright smile constantly on her face. A thick white mane with black accents flows all the way to her back. Two round, tiger ears sit atop her head, and a long tail akin to her hair protrudes from her tailbone— showing her Belua features with pride. Casually, Shav shows almost no shame in wearing a crop top or form-fitting tops and pants for easier movement.  In more formal settings, however, she chooses to wear her Reaver-assigned cloak that she keeps buttoned up.

[color=fff200][b]Race[/b][/color]: Belua

[color=fff200][b]Sex[/b][/color]: Female

[color=fff200][b]Age[/b][/color]: 28

[color=fff200][b]Magic Divination[/b][/color]: Galdr Magic and Elementalism (Lightning-focused)

[color=fff200][b]Abilities[/b][/color]:

[indent][color=39b54a]Invoke Famiiar[/color]: Like most users of Galdr magic, Shav is able to summon spirits from the Spectral Realm. This often manifests in her familiar, [url=https://www.deviantart.com/celticbotan/art/Noble-Spirit-295614032]Shadar[/url], who manifests as a full-sized white tiger that fights with Shav. Shadar has the ability to essentially split himself, allowing for more versatile attacks but each split is weaker than the original. He has been shown to be able to split himself into three and still be a formidable opponent. Shadar can also telepathically communicate with Shav, as per the contract they had signed even without Shadar being summoned.

[color=39b54a]Invoke Spirit[/color]: These spirits are often smaller and used for information gathering and quality of life than fighting. She can tap into their memories temporarily to gather what they have seen and heard while sneaking somewhere. These spirits take on different forms and have different functions.

[color=39b54a]Infuse Spirit[/color]: One of Shav's signature spells, she invokes the presence of the spirit and temporarily binds it with her own body, allowing for her to gain additional characteristics and abilities depending on the spirit summoned. This allows for more versatile fighting styles. She can only infuse one spirit at a time and she needs downtime to be able to cast the spell again. 

[color=39b54a]Reveal[/color]: The incantation used by Galdrs to shift magic and deactivate any magic pertaining to making things invisible or hiding something from view. Success is often variable depending on how powerful the spell it's trying to undo is.

[color=0072bc]Lightning Strike[/color]: Infusing her attacks with a large charge of lightning, it greatly increases the damage output from a regular punch. When she pours more magical power into it, she can even stun something for a few seconds.

[color=0072bc]Lightning Charge[/color]: Charging herself with lightning, she can bolster her speed and slam into a target like an overgrown bullet.

[color=0072bc]Embodiment of Lightning[/color]: Her most powerful elementalist magic, she infuses her entire body with the element of lightning to increase her physical attributes. This burns through her magical energy far quicker than any other spell so Shav uses it only at the most desperate of moments.

[color=6ecff6]Lightning Familiar[/color]: Combining her two types of magic into one, Shav is able to summon Shadar and imbue him with the power of lightning for a few minutes at the cost of a big chunk of mana.

[color=fff200][b]Equipment[/b][/color]:

[indent][color=0072bc]Energy Gauntlets[/color]: The gauntlet that is more metal than magic, Shav had been given this equipment specifically due to her penchant for getting up close and personal. For each successive hit that the gauntlets make, it collects kinetic energy and allows Shav to release this collected energy for a more powerful attack. However, what truly sets it apart is its ability to also collect magical energy— specifically from elemental magic. While it cannot directly absorb an attack into nothingness but it is able to capture its essence so it can use other stored energy to mold the next release of energy into an elemental surge.

[color=fff200]Cloak of the Reavers[/color]: She was originally given this as a sort of uniform to let her fit more with the Magus Association; however, as time passed and she was integrated into the Reavers, the cloak has been warded that gives her extra defenses to allow her the ability to keep her dexterity while also being defended.

[color=fff200][b]Brief Background[/b][/color]: Shavis, born near the Fae than the humans, had always been more in tune with the magical world. Her own small village consisted of mostly martial adept people but the elements had always been in tune with the Belua. Most of her elementalist spells were directed towards improving her martial prowess but it had been a Fae friend of hers, Patia, cheery and open and talked about their beliefs that Shavis soaked in. The two of them were near inseparable within the Great Ithaca Forest. Patia was the one who taught Shavis about the Spectral realm and was the one who helped her establish Shavis's link to it which aided her with Galdr magic.

And perhaps it was by chance, or it was fate, or if it was their own impulsiveness that Patia and Shavis found themselves leaving what they knew to head to the Republic of Morgenröte to join the Magus Association officially. It was Patia's thirst for knowledge and Shavis's loyalty to her friend that pushed them over that edge. Perhaps Patia didn't believe in what the Church spewed or what the Association believed in but it didn't quite matter in the face of knowledge, she had her own goals and no one else's beliefs can stop her. And to Shavis, this organization proved to be what she needed to become more versatile on the battlefield. 

They hadn't grown apart, not quite, but they had their own duties to attend to. Shavis had shone just enough for the Eon Tower to invite her into the Reavers and she accepted after a long talk with Patia. Now, why would she wish to join a group so mocked by the commonfolk and Church alike? Simple. Reavers tackle the most dangerous jobs— monsters? Criminals? This can test her mettle and that was what pulled her into the group and she had been enjoying it ever since.

[color=fff200][b]Extras[/b][/color]:
[list][*]Shav is most known for her martial prowess and her thirst for a challenge.
[*]Shav is loyal to her peers among the Reavers and considers them as good friends.
[*]She is a rambunctious soul, all smiles and cheers much like her best friend, and partakes in quite a bit of intoxicants when she's off duty.
[*]She prizes both magic and martial prowess in equal levels— well aware that a master of either would be a powerful being indeed.
[*]Despite not being an enchanter, Shav likes to tinker with her gauntlets- making sure that it won't break but to try and learn more at the same time.
[*]Shadar was her contracted familiar that she had summoned at the Magus Association. She thinks of him as an ancestral spirit and a guide.
[*]While Shav has quite an assortment of spirits to be able to call upon, she had a few particular spirits that aid her the most but she had never gotten a contract with them to be her familiars.
[*]When given an extended period of free time, Shav can sometimes be found within the halls of the library, catching up with Patia.
[*]Extremely physical in her show of affection.
[*]Her knowledge of culture is more Fae-aligned than Human; though this doesn't affect her friendships, she does like to keep up with the Fae's current events.
