@Ogo So... the big, very big, thing is that Aessyr are all female. It's one of the things that defines them as Aessyr. Which makes this bio kind of awkward on that front.

Beyond that it's all kind of... unnecessarily dark and edgy? I know you asked if fairy stuff is useful for magic, and it is, but that doesn't mean wizards tend towards the suicidal insanity of slavery and torture.

I believe Anno has some extra thoughts, but as it stands, I'm not accepting this.

@Yankee@Taka Given that these are a pair, Anno and I are taking a bit longer to think about it.

@Yankee@Taka: Still considering this given they're a pair.

For now, my own character.

  • Name: Rylia Ainsberg
  • Age: 18
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Human
  • Rank: Iron, much to her annoyance
  • Appearance: Rylia is a very petite human girl, standing around 137 cm/4'6 in height. She has a small, slight figure, and a fair skintone. She has light blue eyes and pink hair, the latter of which is usually tied up in pigtails using gold ribbons. Her armor, consisting of her breastplate, her gauntlets, vambrances, couters, and rebrances, her greaves, and her sabatons, is silver in coloration and decorated with gold details. Her clothing is primarily red, with white and gold details.
  • Personality: An impatient and ill-tempered girl, who nevertheless fully commits herself to the duties and ideals of a paladin of Reon. Rylia is quick to anger, swift to complain, and often all too eager to point out what she perceives as stupidity or otherwise ill-advised behavior. Additionally, she exhibits a wide sarcastic streak, prone to making comments that others may find aggravating when she is irritated or believes someone needs admonishing. She is also rather proud and self-confident, though at the very least this is due to her having performed well during her training to obtain the position of a paladin. She is somewhat frustrated that she has to further prove herself, but at the same time views being an adventurer as an opportunity to assist others who may be endangered. Even if she does think her rank should be higher. Her high degree of pride and self-confidence also means that she does not like to admit when she is wrong about something.
    Despite her temper, Rylia is a strong believer in justice and the destruction of evil for the sake of the innocent. In this way, she can be considered a model paladin who upholds good and chastises wickedness in the name of the Sun Goddess. And, as one who dedicates herself to such ideals, it is only natural to refuse to leave behind those in need. Rylia will not abide with any decision that places innocent people in danger, nor will she leave behind anyone in need. For her, doing such things would be to throw away the very meaning of the title of Paladin.
    While she has a confident and stubborn personality, Rylia is insecure about her height and petite figure, and will sometimes take this insecurity out on those who are more gifted in overall size than herself. At the same time, she will also try to deny this insecurity entirely. She is also fairly easily flustered, despite her pride. Rylia likes sweets and has a considerable soft spot for both dogs and cats(as well as pretty much any other cute animals).
  • Brief Backstory: Rylia was born in the village of Merlsberg, near Pelle. While it was not a small village, it was far smaller than Pelle. It exhibited a small chapel for worship of both Reon and Mayon rather than the dual churches of larger settlements. Rylia’s father was the local priest, who had moved to Merlsberg to replace the previous priest who had recently died. His wife, a paladin who had retired due to injury, came with him. Rylia was born in spring, and named after a minor divine spirit in service of the Sun Goddess. Needless to say, one could say that service to the sun goddess was in her blood, and she looked up to heroic tales of paladins and saints as a young girl. Particular favorites were the tale of Saint Atrus, who killed one of the Dark Lord Orodrunn’s four strongest generals, and Saint Salva who purified the poisoned waters after the slaying of the Dragon Avoraaz. She had already initiated the early stages of her training, expectations upon her both from within and without, when disaster struck Merlsberg.
    A necromancer bearing a grudge against the Lord of Merlsberg suddenly attacked during the night, while the town was unprepared. However, through her father’s swift actions and her mother taking up her weapon once more, the undead were repelled and the necromancer was forced to retreat with the arrival of several paladins and a contingent of soldiers from Pelle.
    However, Rylia’s mother’s health deteriorated. The injuries she’d sustained during her time as a paladin had left her health frail, and fighting so intensely throughout the night had weakened her greatly.
    She died only a week later, when Rylia was only seven years old.
    This event, the memory of her mother, the pride in her heritage, caused Rylia to become even more strongly motivated when she recovered from the death of her mother. She was eventually sent to the Saint Salva Religious Academy for Girls in Venne, furthering her training to become a paladin and indeed excelling, just as her mother once had. After all, she had plenty of expectations to live up to. Serving under an experienced paladin, Rylia passed preliminary trials that involved clearing a small tomb of undead, before finally moving into the final phase of her training: Practical experience.
    This meant following many paladins before her and signing on to the Adventurer’s Guild, in order to gain proper experience fighting alongside others in a variety of scenarios.
  • Equipment: Rylia carries a handful of pouches with assorted basic supplies and a dagger, as well as a Reonite prayerbook and a Lily Symbol for basic divine casting. Additionally, her armor carries a light blessing that makes it much harder to damage and slightly lighter. But the most noticeable aspect of her equipment is her enormous hammer. A blessed weapon, her hammer is far lighter than it appears which enables her to wield it despite it weighing more than her entire body. Additionally, as is common for the blessed weapons wielded by paladins, it exhibits an empathetic trait that responds to righteous fury. In Rylia’s case, her hammer becomes wreathed in golden solar fire automatically in response to her feelings. She can also trigger this effect manually. These flames burn entities of an evil nature and undead all the more intensely, and can be gathered at the head of the hammer and released on impact to cause a small explosion.
  • Skills: Rylia has received considerable training in the duties of a paladin, which include skill in combat. She is most versed in the usage of two-handed weapons, particularly her hammer. Her style of combat is aggressive and unyielding, aimed to break through defenses and shatter barriers in order to reach her targets and crush them. As a paladin, albeit one who must still complete the practical experience portions of her training, she has been educated in how to identify various types of undead and evil spirits and how to combat them. This includes the divine spell Litany of Ending to weaken nearby undead, as well as basic exorcism rites. While Rylia is not exceptionally gifted magically, she possesses enough mana for these as well as self-enhancement spells and light healing. She cannot mend injuries that are too serious, but she can assist in recovery and heal minor slashes, bruises, and bone fractures. Anything more serious she can only mitigate but not fully repair. Her capability with exorcism cannot oust a true demon from a possessed host, but can weaken its hold.

Wondering if there's anymore space for me to apply? Been on a bit of a fantasy kick lately! Not sure if there's already somebody who's got a spot but hasn't been approved yet, though, so wanted to check if it was still open.

Sorry, just sorta realized I've got a few too many fingers in a few too many pies right now, hah. Maybe another time!

So yeah this is part of why I was a bit reluctant to accept a pair, since this bio's been in the works for a bit now. ^^; Still trying to settle on how to handle this 100% though.

Regardless of what I'll do, I'll probably keep people in mind in case we have any dropouts.

For now, I'm definitely accepting @RolePlayerRoxas, the character was in the works for a while and I'll admit I was really hoping to get a nem player character.

@Taka@Yankee: Okay, as of now I'm thinking I'm going to take Kora out of the two bios. This is admittedly because, kind of like with Soruha, I really was hoping for an ingvarr character and that provides more variety and that's ultimately what it came down to.

With that being said, there's a couple things I want to address.

I'm going to shamelessly admit to the fact that ingvarr are pretty much just viking draphs(from Granblue) which means 5'5 is actually pretty enormous for a girl. Tall for a female ingvarr would still probably be sub-5'0.

I say this mostly because these short stacked girls being just as strong as the huge dudes is really funny to me.

I present to you, a height chart of many, many Draph girls (for reference). And some other random ones:



Fediel on the end shows what happens if you scale them up to the male height, it's hilarious.

I really appreciate it, I like the character I submitted and I'm glad y'all like her too, but my turn to admit that I was more interested in playing in the pair so when I mentioned I'd be glad to step back it was so Taka could write with his vision. We knew it was gonna be tough odds for both of us to be accepted when there was already limited spots so that's on us, and more on me tbh, but I'll actually have to pass at the moment ^^; Sorry about that, I know it's a bit awkward. Hopefully no hard feelings and I get a new opportunity to write with y'all in the future.

With that being said, I don't mind switching to an Ingvarr. Have to change a few things slightly but character still works as an Ingvarr.

@Taka -Sigh-

Please don't. You're not getting accepted. The last time you tried to join one of Vita's RP's, you asked one question, didn't say anything for a year, then posted an incomplete bio that didn't fit, and when you were asked to talk to us first, you… said nothing for a month, for some reason edited the bio, and then never brought it up again.

And as it stands, what you've submitted here is an empty shell of a character that's just "generic martial arts archetype". A sheet of paper has more flavour.

For some clarity, that's been one of the reasons I was reluctant about the character all along, after I realized this was the same person.

If you're no longer having those issues in terms of participation, that's good, but I'd prefer not to have that tested out in this RP, and I'll admit I did find the character lacking in flavor as well.
