Evelyn Sunderland

"The Veiled Mother"




"Nas Aerfen"




General description

Race

Human

Age

28

Size

6'3" 150lbs

Gender

Female

Sexuality

Evelyn holds love only for The Obscure One, should it be that you are an incarnation of her lord then perhaps affection will be shown to you.

Religion

The Obscure One is the name Evelyn has given to the voice only she can hear. An entity who she claims is the true dark lord and Lancelot a fragment of his being incarnate. The Cult of The Obscure One worships their hidden god and Evelyn as well for they believe her to be his mortal bride and prophet. The cult has a strict ideology but its main tenants are; Our lord's plan is unknown to us but we follow for it will lead us to paradise at his side, The Veiled Mother must be kept hidden and safe for her word is that of our lord, speak not of our family for there are those who would see it harmed, be as our lord for it is through anonymity that we thrive.

Job


Personality

Evelyn does not see the atrocities she's committed as entertaining, it is merely a task to complete. Death, war, torture, ritual sacrifice, it is not enjoyable nor is it detestable but rather a duty she must perform for The Obscure One and Lancelot. With her face almost always hidden, either in a helmet or under a veil, it can be difficult to gauge her mood as she tends to speak rather calmly when not in battle. One should not take her stoic tone for amicability as her opinion of you changes with the will of The Obscure One. Should her dark lord consider you a potential or immediate threat you will be met with hostility if not direct attack. That being said, she is not unapproachable, she is more than welcoming to anyone who wishes to speak with her or keep her company. As for her day to day routine, Evelyn can often be found studying a magic tome or performing some form of ritual. In the realm of more physical activities she prefers to practice her weapon arts at night and with her lord, however to an onlooker it appears as though she is combating the air.


Biography

Across the sea lies the archipelago of Tyrvald. A land of temperate forests and fierce wildlife, the inhabitants are divided into numerous city states. Among the most powerful is the city of Dustorne, a proud and noble people with ambitions to unite the islands under one banner to conquer new lands beyond their shores. Evelyn was the daughter of King Greagor and the heir to the throne of Dustorne. From birth she was raised to take the throne; studying battle strategy, training in multiple weapon arts, experience in political intrigue, and an understanding of her people. At the age of eighteen she left the islands to scout new lands her people could plunder in the future. For four years she wandered the lands of Camelot before returning home, only to find her throne had been stolen from her by her father's advisor and her family slaughtered. Chased out of Dustorne she fled to the neighboring city of Strosheim hoping to find aid as they had been a close ally of her family for years. Instead she was met with drawn blades and iron manacles where she was kept as a slave.

Forced to pleasure the lord's son, Evelyn's spirit would be broken until one day a familiar voice called to her. As a child she would often speak with a voice only she could hear. Her parents assumed it to be the imagination of a child but in truth it was far more than that. The Obscure One had been watching over her since her birth and had for reasons unknown only now showed himself again to her. With his help the deposed queen fled into the wilds of Tyrvald where she spent five years strengthening her bond with The Obscure One, all the while forging a cult which worshipped her as the bride to their hidden god. With the force of a small army behind her, Evelyn marched on Dustorne to take back her throne. Unfortunately her notoriety betrayed her as her enemies knew of her impending attack and bolstered their numbers. A confrontation could not be avoided and so The Cult of The Obscure One clashed swords with the defenders of Dustorne. It was a battle that could not be won but Evelyn commanded her forces with skill and held the line until a path of retreat was made. With what forces remained she retreated to her ships and fled to the outlands where she would bend the knee to Lancelot in the hopes he would conquer Tyrvald, allowing her to rule the islands as a reward.

"Nulla fides. Tantum furore."

Bartuc "The Bloodied"


General description

Race

Human

Age

43

Size

A goliath of a man standing at 6' 11"
Weighs closer to 240 pounds.

Gender

Male

Sexuality

Will only lay with Evelyn Sunderland.

Religion

Bartuc speaks of the Obscure one. A secretive god that has only made its will known to its prophetic speaker Evelyn Sunderland, the Veiled mother. In truth his heart and soul do not belong to any creature or god, placing true and absolute faith only in his fury and his true Master.

Job

(to be assigned)


Personality

Bartuc is openly faithless, often rude, and arrogant. Believing that only the strong deserve any words of remote kindness. His pride as a sworn knight of Dustorne and his continued service to their lineage is one of the few shining lights within an otherwise despicable human being that takes pleasure in the torture and death of anything opposing him. Through violence he serves the master,
only the master, at a level that puts even the cultists fanaticism to shame.
Extremely loyal to Evelyn Sunderland and quick to punish or kill any that even hint at disrespect, whether they are justified or not.


Biography

Bartuc, from the nameless house, was born to be a soldier. A warrior. A killer of legendary proportions. Talented with a blade and shield who stood tall when young and taller when grown, he was quickly established as a skilled swordfighter and was given advanced tutelage in his formative years. His father had served as a loyalist soldier to the kings of Dustorne, down the line, for nearly five generations. Bartuc was the sixth generation to serve and had proven himself over and over on the field as a peerless warrior.
The betrayal of his king had been a blade in the dark. A threat he had been trained to ignore. The adviser to the king had been a valued friend to all the loyal guardsman, earned their trust, and served with honor himself.

With the king dead and those that opposed being killed, Bartuc abandoned his kingdom to search for the true heir. To right a wrong he could not fix on his own. Without her there was nothing left of a legacy that spanned many years of faithful service.

Word of a revolt reached his ears while he was in hiding. A cult, an army of some sort, preparing for war on Dustorne. Whispers of the kings daughter leading the charge had Bartuc on the move with a fury. Vengeance was close. The battle was one-sided from the start, the plans of attacking Dustorne having reached his ears of course it would have reached the enemies but that did not stop his conviction.
His fury added to the army led by the desposed Queen, Bartuc fought like a demon. For the memory of his king. To avenge the betrayal of his family. To appease his own hunger.
Along with the remaining cultists under her sway, Bartuc followed the skilled commands of the rightful Queen to the letter. Even in defeat.

To Camelot they fled. In Camelot he bent the knee beside his rightful Queen, telling her of his service to Greagor Sunderland before the betrayal. Swearing his continued fealty to her cause until the last drop of life escaped his body. From then on he was by her side always. Serving her will without hesitation. It wasn't long until he stood as her second.


Bartuc is the the very stones carved and molded into a mans likeness. Gifted with stature and relentless training has made of him a monster in human trappings. A thousand strikes in a thousand different ways have been ingrained into every fiber of his body to make of it a weapon capable of accomplishing any task, killing any opponent, and bringing the glory of his masters words to reality. Many scars decorate his pale skin but few stand out more than the ones across his arms. A sickly red like fire stretch across both wrists, self inflicted wounds made for every life he snuffs. They are his pride as a warrior.
Bartuc keeps his his hair, black with spots of silver from age, trimmed relatively low and oiled back. The same strict grooming goes for his beard, kept short and well kept, but hides it all behind the imposing visor of his helmet. Only when commanded or wounded will it be removed, and never out of arms reach.

Yeah sorry I've been really caught up with work up here,alongside a terrible connection since we're in the middle of the woods farming. Once I'm done today I'll try to give your sheets a proper review, as I've already read brought most of it and have some things I need to address.

@Zelosse

So this sheet is actually solid, I don't have any problems by itself but since it seems to be paired with the other sheet here I will be considering it a paired submission, and I won't accept your sheet until the other one is in order.@TheDarkTemplar

I like the cultist prophet theme, my biggest issue with it however it is an it too direct. It shouldn't be said that the obscure one should be, well, obscure. I think I'd like to see some emphasis that the voice rarely speaks to her, the most he should have ever spoken to her was prior to her rise to power and the formation of the cult.

With that in mind, that brings me to her powers. I like her theme of espionage but I have issues here. To start with the emergency dragon is a bit too much and doesn't have sufficient limitations. Danger can be very loosely interpreted and regardless, having a titanic dragon form protect her at all is a bit too overpowered. I offer too alternatives, either limit the summon to a brief 5 second lasting manifestation that can deliver a powerful blow based on its size (which is shrink to fifty foot at most.) or if you'd like to specify any other powers with t. He can summon himself to her aid 3 times a day but his body will be semi translucent and she has no control over him.
The other alternative is perhaps replacing the obscure one with being able to summon@Zelosse's character at any time, allowing her to bring muscle when she needs it.

Her ability to summon a matter erasing hate, I'm removing completely. Her ability to implant thoughts will be needed as well. She can still communicate telepathically, but in order to use that spell for implanting thoughts the target must be at near death, as well as being both mortal and having a soul. The spell will temporarily 'restore' them. They will lose all recent memories and are given a specific task of her choosing. The spell ends once the task is completely or after 24 hours, in which case the victim immediately dies. The spell is removed at any time if he is the target of a revive spell or a healing spell that can cure fatal injuries or whatever else was the cause of death. This saves the victim from extermination and will regain all memories. She can only use this spell on up to two people at a time.

If these nerfs are too harsh, you are free to give her more abilities as well, preferably related to stealth or shadows as that seems to be her motif. Even though you have one minor weakness I won't impose anymore with the current nerfs since she's human, but if you give her more abilities I may suggest that she is cursed by the dark one, and may assign more weaknesses with that curse to help balance it.

Once all that is resolved I'll be happy to give your sheet a second review.

His plans are unknown to Evelyn as he doesn't give her anything like a step by step run down of his plan. As far as she knows he wants to get her the throne but his long terms plans are a mystery to all but him. I pictured him as being an enigmatic partner for her that converses and gives advice. The closest comparison I can make is Dexter's dad who gives guidance throughout the show but at the end of the day its up to Dexter to make the decisions.

With that in mind, that brings me to her powers. I like her theme of espionage but I have issues here. To start with the emergency dragon is a bit too much and doesn't have sufficient limitations.

I think I'll just do away with the dragon entirely. It was originally intended to evac her from situations where she was about to die but with the ring the possibility of death is less threatening.

I have no problem with these, my original understanding was that the characters were meant to be OP but if its not the case that's fine.

@TheDarkTemplar

Everything checks out.
This is more of an obvious side note but the ring only works if the wearer is alive. It will have no effect if he wearer is undead or in some other technical non-living existence like a deathless one or a golem.

IC is up! Each character should now have their arrival and await seated at the table for the specified meeting. By friday I expect everyone to post so I can move the plot forward. In the meantime you may interact with other characters, but I recommend to collab with that as to not flood the IC chat.

I will still be accepting characters, and any characters that have been accepted but haven't posted yet are still welcomed.

If there are any questions, let me know.
