Sigurd

Hider

Appearance

Unmasked

Name: Sigurd

Race: Labrynnian

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Clothing/Armor:

• Labrynnian Knights Order armor - As a member of the Labrynnian Order of Knights, he possesses an armor that uses their special plate mesh, giving it the weight of a medium armor, and the protection par with a heavy armor. The left forearm gauntlet is reinforced so that it can act as a defense.

Weapons:

• Labrynnian Greatsword - A colossal blade, almost as tall as he stands, was forged specifically to Sigurd's wishes. Much of the weight is actually in the hilt and base of the blade, and then evenly distributed towards the tip, it's unique Labrynna-native metal gives it a blue hue. It is one of twin greatswords, the other being the Holodrum Greatsword, owned by his brother, due to the metals it was made from originate solely in Holodrum, giving it a red hue.
  
  Dragon Spin Attack - A rapid rushing attack with spinning wide slashes. He uses his hand or a tool to grab the ground and pivot on it, giving him control over the attack.
  Labrynna Dragon Spin Attack - After charging, wreathe the blade in a blue flame and do a move identical to the Dragon Spin Attack. This version is slower, but affects a much wider area, and deals noticeably more damage, along with fire. He is limited to using this very few times at a time (roughly 1-2 depending on status).
• Reinforced Gauntlet - For defense in a pinch, it's a lot more reliable for parrying though.

Skills:

He uses a unique combat style that is unique to him and his brother. It uses the weight of the gigantic blade as a counterweight, allowing him to move quickly across the battlefield, while swinging around a colossal blade. That is not to say he can't wield them normally either.

• Master Swordsman - It goes without saying he's a master at wielding a blade, while he prefers two handed blades, he and his brother's styles have forms that wield longswords, one-handed swords, as well as accompanying shields, but their unique form with their colossal greatswords rarely allow the use of a large shield, as the free hand is for control.
• Scouting - Sigurd is able to do scouting, which was part of his training.
• Scholar - Unlike his comrades, he takes to scholarly pursuits as much as he does martial. He has great knowledge on ruins and temples, as well as ancient languages. Naturally he also has talents when it comes to magic.
• Command- He is able to command troops, and inspire them on the battlefield.
• Tactician - He has considerable grasp of tactics.
• Covenant of Ages scholar - He has friends among the Covenant, which gives him a bit more freedom when looking into these matters. If he failed knighthood, he would have joined the clergy instead.

Magic:

• Labrynna Barrier Ring L1 - Upon activation creates a magical shield around his left arm. This allows him to guard better against magical attacks should he need to.

Inventory:

• Small Potions - He carries small health potions with him. Just a few for emergency.
• Throwing Knives - He also carries small throwing knives. They make for good fruit knives too.
• Journal - A journal for taking notes. It's proven helpful for solving puzzles when he's come across a temple.

Backstory: Sigurd was born a family of knights, his father was a knight, and so was his father before him. It was expected that Sigurd would become one too... Alongside his brother. The two trained together, as he looked up to his elder brother, but his talent was more in the scholarly pursuits, in fact at the time, he was familiar with many members of the Covenant, which would serve to help him later in his life. For a time the two brothers would train peacefully, and the two would become knights eventually, though Sigurd would lag behind in being knighted.

At the time, there was much unrest with the supposed threat the new Oracle of Ages had pointed out with Holodrum. During this time, Sigurd's brother Arctus had been admitted to the Seashell Knights, and was sent to Holodrum to investigate along with his colleagues. Sigurd wished to go as well, but he could not, for he was not yet a fully fledged knight. In his brother's absence he too became a knight, under the Seashell Knights no less.

After no word came from Holodrum, he joined in some of the rescue parties, he thought it fortunate he was not among the ones that disappeared, but he could not help but wonder what happened. Furthermore, he too was skeptical on this "Nayru"... Still even so, he believed they needed to bring together more military, as defense against what is to come, not to mention with monsters becoming more common...

Still, with his performance on the field outstripping many of the other knights, he was deemed the right to work as a free agent of the Seashell Knights as well, giving him much authority. Among his colleagues some expect him to perhaps take over for tactician or general duties if the time came, for now though, he works to secure the defenses of Labrynna, as well as keeping a close eye and study on the Essences in case something may happen to them, a unique thing he is knowledgeable enough to do compared to the other knights.

Syna

"And you are? I'm Syna, nice to meet ya. Now, if ya don't mind, I'm kinda busy."

Name:
Syna

Race:
Human

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

Syna stands around a fairly average five foot five and around a hundred and twenty pounds, she isn't the most physically impressive of people to look at. The girl has a slender frame that doesn't have much in the way of muscle in it. That said, she's not completely physically unfit. Her mentor often made a point to at least make sure the girl got some form of physical exercise, mostly in the form of lugging around heavy stacks of books, and constantly walking to and from Lynna City, and though she's not going to be lugging around a sword all that well, she can reasonably defend herself if she had to without magic and probably has more stamina than people give her credit for.

As far as outward looks go, the young girl has a fair complexion, free of most blemishes and markings. Quite often wears a smirk or bright grin on her face. She has bright, amber colored eyes with long, blonde hair.

Clothing/Armor:
Syna dresses in a simple white robe, that has a red triangular trim on the edges of it. The material is made of a durable cloth fabric, but is light and fairly airy and easy to move in. It's not going to be doing much against swords and sharp pointy things that want to give her hugs, but it's unlikely to tear or get damaged simply from traveling, wear, or the elements. On her feet, she wears simple brown boots that offer some fairly decent comfort while walking and can probably traverse most natural terrains fairly well. On her legs, she wears simple dark colored stockings. Around her waist, she wears a leather belt with various pouches for carrying things in it.

Isn't very warm, but is perfect for wearing in the spring, summer, and warmer days of fall.

Weapons:
As far as weapons go, Syna doesn't really carry any large weapons. Aside from a small, rather simple dagger she carries with her. It's a simple dagger, with a well kept iron blade and black hilt just large enough for a persons hand to hold. In the past, she has mostly used this for gathering herbs and other things from the Forest of Time and Fairies Woods. That said, she has also used it to defend herself on occasion, from the odd wild animal or so. She's no expert, but she will use it to defend herself if her magic fails her. she usually keeps it on her belt for quick and easy access.

Skills:
Syna has been training since she was small in the realms of magic, mysticism, and alchemy. That said, she is far, far, from anywhere skilled to be called anything more than an amateur. As far as some more mundane non magical skills, she's fairly well versed in both history in ancient languages.

-Syna is fairly well read, and can read some ancient languages, and even write them with some difficulty.
-Making potions and other things was a common practice for her mentor, and quite a bit got passed down to her. She has only made potions as of now under the watchful eye of Maple, but she is confident in her skill and knows how to make quite a few different concoctions if she has the right ingredients. Also includes some things of the...poisonous nature.
-Knows her way around both the Faeries Woods and Forest of Time, since she spent a lot of time in both forests growing up.
-Knows some basic first aid stuff, though mostly through reading books and has no practical applications of it.
-Can't cook to save her life, though. Maple feared when she tried alchemy, she'd accidentally blow something up. She likes to remind her, that only happened twice (That Maple Knows of)

Magic:
~Illumination (Glow Ring)~
A fairly simple, and easy spell. The first one she ever used. The user summons a small orb of light that follows the user around, illuminating the area around them. The size can vary, and can go from illuminating the area around the user or entire rooms depending on how much magic power one puts into it. The duration also depends on the size and amount of magic put into it. Smaller orbs will last longer, while larger ones will need more magic.

~Healing Light~(Recovery Ring)
The second spell she was ever allowed access too, Syna focuses the magic in the palm of her hand. Using this, she is able to heal wounds as long as she has the appropriate amount of magic power. Larger wounds, mean more magic will be required, and she could probably heal quite severe wounds but it would likely exhaust her.

~Wind Blast(Tempest Ring)~
A fairly simple offensive spell, and the third and last she ever familiarized herself with. After a moment of preparation, she launches a blast of air towards the target from her hand. The gust of wind is easily strong enough to send most creatures and enemies flying, and even stun or slow down the larger ones. And aside from simply blasting something with a force of wind, she may also shape the blast somewhat for precision strikes with wind likely sharp enough to cause some considerable blunt force trauma. Such a thing though, requires a fairly decent control and skill, and she would need to concentrate a bit to do such a thing.

Could theoretically also take control of other wind using this ring, but she has never tried it. May also be used to slow down a fall, if the blast is directed towards the ground. It's also probably not going to be killing most things directly.

Inventory:
-Belt, where she keeps her things.
-Dagger, sheathed on her belt.
-Various alchemy things and herbs inside of pouches on her belt.
-Three Magic rings, worn. Two on her right hand, one on the left. (Gale Ring, Recovery Ring, Glow Ring. See Magic)
Basically, all of her things aside from her rings are kept on her belt. She loses that, she basically loses all of her inventory.

Backstory:

Syna has had a fairly...simple, if not overly mundane life. Why simple, and not mundane? Well, she's the apprentice of a witch that lives out in the Forest of Time, and has been since she was a kid. Born in Lynna city, she more or less has lived in the region her entire life. She had a fairly easy time growing up, though she spent most of her time reading books and staying inside instead of interacting and playing with other kids.

For the most part, she had a fairly normal like that until she was ten, and decided to venture into the Forest of Time after reading a book on alchemy and magic, intending to try and make something herself.

It was there, she stumbled across an old Witch that lived in the Yoll Graveyard who went by the name of Maple. At first, Maple simply turned the girl away, but after insisting for over a week, and breaking and entering into her house several times, she finally relented and decided to teach the girl how to control magic, if she could prove her dedication to the craft, since it was likely to take most of her life to even be able to compare to the ancient sorcerers of the past she liked reading about. Before she could even being learning magic, she had to dedicate herself to learning and hard work. There were no shortcuts in magic, no shortcuts to learning and no reputable shortcuts to perfecting magic.

Most of her days were spent reading, helping maple with alchemy, gathering reagents for her, etc. (walking from Lynna, Faerie Woods, and back to her house made up 90% of her day on the weekends) Little in the way of actual learning magic and other things. Maple told her that patience was the number one thing any good mage should have, though, so she didn't press the issue too much. And finally, she was rewarded with what she wanted, being able to actually learn how to use magic.

She managed this when she was fifteen. Following Maples instructions and advice, she meditated constantly for a few days, only stopping to eat and drink and other basic necessitates, and she succeeded in using the simple spell. It was simple, but it was the best feeling in the world for Syna.

After this, she doubled her efforts, and within the next four years, she was able to make use of two more rings that Maple had let her have. Her ability with magic is nowhere near being a master, and indeed her capacity for powerful magic and casting spells for long a duration is somewhat lacking, but that's not going to stop her.

Recently, she's been trying to master the use of the Gale Ring, which so far she's had the most trouble with, and has been practicing every chance she gets. Maple has recently told her to go to the Nuun Highlands and find some reagents for some potion or another. She has of course, somewhat begrudgingly accepted the task.

She intends to take her sweet time, though, she's honestly a little tired of feeling like Maple's glorified errand girl. Maybe stop by Rauru and goof off for a bit.

Wallet:
56 Rupees.

Other:

Personality:
In a few words? a bit sarcastic, Cynical, and somewhat playfully mischievous. Blunt too, almost painfully so sometimes. She has a bit of trouble hiding and masking her words, especially when it comes to her opinions. She's a decent person all around, but don't expect her to mince words or not pass up an opportunity to make fun of/mess with someone.

Favorite Color is Purple.

Her dedication to learning this craft, also had the effect of somewhat estranging her parents. While she doesn't exactly hate them, hold anything against them, their relationship isn't the best. In fact, you could say it was Maple that practically raised her. At the moment, their relationship could possibly be described as awkward, and she rarely visits them, and has taken up a residence in Maples' house, much to the older witches chagrin.

Atticus

Name: Atticus

Race: Subrosian

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance: As a Subrosian, Atticus' entire body remains shrouded in shadow for modesty reasons. As far as physical attributes go, he is a bit on the short side and seems to have a a slim frame, with most of his body shape coming from his clothes rather than any underlying feature. The only expressive feature he seems to have are his white dotted eyes, which narrow, widen and even change colors while seemingly floating around the darkness of his hood.

Clothing/Armor: Atticus' torso and head shape are mostly made up of a tattered, dark blue hooded cloak draped over a dark cloth tunic and a pair of baggy dark cloth trousers. The cloak is belted at the waist to give a more defined body shape, while his hands and feet are covered by dark leather gauntlets and gloves.

Clothing

Weapons:
Antique Subrosian Boomerang - A Subrosian boomerang crafted by the great Subrosian smiths of Link's age, this blue-metal boomerang is fortified with the coveted Subrosian treasure, Hard Ore, in order to make it light enough to throw with considerable force and speed but heavy enough to deal damage to enemies. The embedded red jewel holds an enchantment that causes the boomerang to always return to Atticus' hand once thrown. While Atticus cannot control the path of the boomerang's flight after it is thrown, he can recall the boomerang to his hand at a reduced speed before it reaches the end of its flight arc should he miss his target. The boomerang is holstered on Atticus' belt at his right hip for a fast draw. The blunt edge of the boomerang is thick enough to be used as a makeshift club at close range, but this is primarily useful in a pinch. Provided Atticus maintains focus, he should never lose control of the enchantment, but if he's sufficiently distracted after throwing it, it can whirl out of control or he can fail to catch and get hit by it instead.

Subrosian Seed Satchel - A leather pouch attached to Atticus' belt, resting on his back right hip. Although it contains four separate pockets meant to hold different types of seeds, only two are currently in use.

• Ember Seeds x30 - Small, orange-red seeds with a delicate outer hull. When thrown with enough force, the seeds break open with a burst of flame upon impact, igniting surrounding enemies and leaving a lingering flame that only persists beyond a few seconds if some extra fuel source is nearby.
• Deku Nuts x15 - Small spherical nuts with a tough outer shell. If thrown against the ground or another solid surface, they release a bright flash that startles and stuns nearby enemies, especially those who do not see it coming and fail to shield their eyes in time.

Iron Dagger - A small dagger, strapped to the small of his back in its own sheathe, concealed by the folds of Atticus' cloak. Used primarily as a fallback weapon in a pinch, but also as a cutting tool when necessary.

Skills:

• Marksman - Atticus is incredibly skilled with the use of his boomerang and has a natural talent for most ranged weapons. His ability to throw accurately while running is largely unhindered and his ability to track moving targets from a distance is impressive to say the least. He is even familiar enough with how the boomerang collides with surfaces to pull off complex ricochet throws provided he has enough time to prepare them.
• Athlete and Acrobat - Atticus moves quickly and gracefully over most obstacles, helped in part by his lithe build and small frame as well as years of experience.
• Thievery - As Atticus' main source of income for several years was serving as his father's partner in crime, Atticus is a capable thief in his own right. An experienced pickpocket and lockpicker, he is also capable of concealing himself effectively and moving with stealth and guile.
• Botany - Taking after his mother, Atticus is knowledgeable about plants, especially the magical seeds of Labrynna and Holodrum.

Magic:
~Fire Breath (Special Ability)~
Due to being raised on the incredibly hot and spicy Lava Soup, Atticus' mouth has become sufficiently resistant to heat to allow him to eat Ember Seeds. If he takes a deep breath and bites down on an Ember Seed, he is capable of breathing a cone of scorching flames out of his mouth to damage nearby enemies. The more seeds he consumes, the hotter and larger to cone of flames, but any more than three will likely melt a hole in his head so he tends not to screw around with this ability too much.

Inventory: Atticus prefers to pack light relatively light. Many of his items are clipped to his belt, but a few of his possessions are kept in a small cloth knapsack he wears on his back, attached by one long leather strap and containing only one main pocket.
Clipped to Belt:

• Water canteen
• Boomerang and leather holster
• Seed Satchel
• Rupee wallet
• Dagger and sheathe

Knapsack:

• Coil of Rope (10 ft.)
• Lockpicking set
• Book: Magical Plants of Labrynna
• Star Shaped Ore x3
• Bandages and suture kit
• Map of Nuun Highlands and compass

Worn On Person:

• Armor Ring Lvl 1 - Reduces the damage Atticus takes from physical attacks at the cost of reducing the power of his melee attacks and the strength at which he can throw his boomerang.

Backstory: Atticus has lived a hard life, mostly due to his complicated upbringing. As the only child born to a poor Subrosian couple in Holodrum, he had very little growing up. His father, like most non-skilled non-noble Subrosians, worked in the ore mines of Subrosia for a modest wage. Atticus' mother, on the other hand, held loftier dreams than being stuck in a cramped hut living off a miner's wage all her life. Envious of the verdant and thriving plant life that grew all over the place in the land of Holodrum above, she spearheaded a project to attempt to cultivate the first Subrosian Seed Tree orchard. While Atticus' father was skeptical of the plan, he used what little money he earned to support his wife's dream, especially when he saw the joy that the project brought to their son, who seemed thoroughly disenchanted with the idea of spending his whole life mining like his father.

Unfortunately the venture failed in an incredibly costly and embarrassing fashion, probably because growing trees in a subterranean lava world is a terrible idea than never should have been funded in the first place. Now deep in debt, Atticus' father seemed to have no way out of this financial bind; he could have spent a lifetime in the mine and never made a dent in what he owed. With no other options available, he turned to thievery in an attempt to make ends meet, with one of his first heists being the storeroom of the mine he was employed at. Despite making off with a sack full of highly valuable ore, he was nearly caught in the process. This close call made him realize he needed a partner in crime, and knowing that his wife would never take part in such a lifestyle, Atticus' father decided to take his only son under his wing and teach him the art of thievery.

Atticus and his father went on like this for several years, until the young boy thief was nearly sixteen. During a fateful heist at that very same mine, the father-son thief duo were ambushed by the authorities. Knowing that they had clearly walked into a trap, Atticus' father let himself be captured in order to allow his son to escape. Following a brief trial, the man was convicted and set to be executed for his crimes. Atticus' mother, who was horrified at the news of what her son and spouse had been doing to recoup the debts that she'd incurred, knew that the authorities would come for her son soon. Taking her son with her, she escaped overseas to Labrynna before the authorities could investigate any further. Unable to see his father during his last days, the only thing Atticus had to remember his father by was his old boomerang, which he still wields today. He was executed shortly after the two left Subrosia.

Now in Labrynna, Atticus does his best to take care of his mother, who continues to hold on to a love of plants and forests that can become rather costly at times. Although his mother makes her home in the Forest of Time, Atticus now works as a trail guide and escort for travelers looking to cross the Nuun Highlands. This is actually just a cover-up for the shady business he's actually engaged in; because most of Atticus' clientele are merchants, he is privy to some interesting details that are of considerable concern to third parties (i.e. bandits) who are looking to acquire (i.e. raid and ransack) the precious resources these caravans often transport. Although Atticus occasionally steals from the caravans personally, serving as an informant for raiding parties looking to prey on these merchants has proved to be a far safer and more lucrative business venture than doing any of the dirty work personally.
