To Hold Back The Dark

Tarrian Kar

---

28 -5'9 -Mistmoor

Light Bearer

---

Personality:

• Fiercely Independent
  
  • You can rely on her to get her tasks done without having to constantly be peeking over her shoulder to make sure it happens. However, it does make her less of a group people and she doesn't always get along with those in a leadership position.
• Incredibly Smart
  
  • Tarrian was raised in a noble home and took schooling from a young age. She is quiet educated in both cultures and fighting tactics. She is a reliable ally in battle and politics.
• Caring for Others
  
  • Tarrian has a large heart and wants to help those in the world that have lost everything. She understands that the Darkness and Grims need to be vanquished for their world to be saved and so she takes up the arms to battle.

---

History: Raised in a noble family, Tarrian knew only life from a silver spoon. She could not go without. Servants, personal chiefs, nannies, she never knew what it meant to be lowly and common. This did not, however, change her caring nature. Even as a child, she could be seen sharing her things with her gaggle of servants. She made friends relatively easily and took joy in knowing that she could share some of her wealth with them. No matter how much her parents would chide her for giving away her things to the common folk, Tarrian still did it.

She spent her days learning, studying up on the histories of countries and politics. She learned what it took to lead a city and the people were eager for her to take control of one herself. But that all changed when she found herself blessed by Aleathen. In one of her many sword battles with the master swordsman, she found herself beginning to glow. From that moment on, her path was changed. Cast to the side were her plans to be a noble and rule a city, now she was called to a much more sacred task. Defending her people and the world from the darkness.

She continued her studies under the master swordsman, learning how to best utilize her new skills and abilities but eventually, there was only so much he could train her. She needed to seek out a true stronghold that held a faction of the Light Bearers. So, wishing her family and friends farewell, she made her way Oakenhaven. There she joined the Light Bearers and began her quest to cleanse the world of darkness.

---

Spells and Abilities:

• Enhanced Agility
  
  • the Blessing of Aleathen granted her enhanced agility and reflexes. It allows her to move quicker in her armor and wield her swords easier. However, it does drain her faster if she pushes herself for too long. She will grow tired the more she relies on it.
• Taunting Cry
  
  • She's learned to weave magic into her calls and shouts, amplifying them or targeting a specific group of enemies and forcing them to focus solely on her. It's useful when she finds someone is in need of help on the battle field but it can quickly cause her to be overwhelmed if too many enemies swarm her or she attracts the attention of someone far stronger than her.
• Light Blades
  
  • She can imbue her blades with the blessing of Aleathen. They glow brightly, causing more damage to Grims and slashing through the darkness. She can also cast out those light blades as shockwaves towards enemies.

---

Weapons or tools:

• Crimson Armor
  
  • Being of noble birth, her parents would not allow her to leave home without a good set of armor to keep her safe. Painted red so that all would see her coming, this steel armor is of great quality and has kept her safe through many a battle.
• Dual Blades
  
  • A matching pair of sharp steel blades. They're long, giving her plenty of reach, and they're heavy, though her enhanced agility allows her to use them easily.

---

Miscellaneous Information:
Just because she may not like being told what to do by figures of authority, she will still follow her orders to the letter. One day she hopes to be in one of those leadership roles but until she gets to that level, she will continue to follow her orders. Perhaps with a sneer or grunt, but follow them nonetheless.

To Hold Back The Dark

The world was thriving and at peace when suddenly, up from the abyss, rose a wave of darkness. No one knows where this darkness came from, nor why it is slowly making it way around the world. It began in rural areas, cascading over the villagers and towns, corrupting any who could not fight off the anguish, despair, and regret the wave invokes in whoever it touched. Those who had fallen to its touch, transformed. They grew sadistic, angry, and violent. They developed abilities and magic far stronger than any mortal man could wield. They had a calling within them, to follow the wave and spread it across the land. Soon armies of these vicious beings began to arise and sweep through the towns and villages, consuming each in darkness. Those who did not fall within the abyss were slain and those who were tainted joined the ever growing army. These tainted being eventually gained the title of Grims and they were feared by all. Villages, towns, and soon cities were fearing that the wave would come to them next.

Upon seeing this, the goddess of light decided there needed to be a change. Her powers sought out those pure of heart and who were strong in their convictions. She granted them a powerful skill that could combat the Grims and the dark wave. She provided others with the means to defend their homes from the darkness, sigils that glowed brightly even in the day. Cities were learning to expand upon these sigils and carving them into the walls that surrounded them. Those who were prepared found their city impenetrable by the darkness. The wave of abyss simply split and went around them. And so these cities became safe havens for all who sought protection from the darkness and strongholds for the gathering armies of light. Soon these warriors of light developed their own name as well, Light Bearers.

So now they fight, to push back the darkness, to kill off the Grims, and to eventually bring this world back to its peaceful wonder.

To Hold Back The Dark

As you can see, this is an rp about dark vs light! The darkness has started to consume the world. Armies of veil creatures and people are ransacking villages and cities, killing any who would try to fight and corrupting any who didn't.

There are three strongholds currently.
-Oakenhaven
A city deep within the Marshhill Woods. This city is full of wooded folks who live off the forest around them.
-Mistmoor
A city high within the mountains. It's citizens are hard people who constantly live within it's cold environment and are well versed in farming and hunting.
-Dogfalls
A large city that sits just on the coast of The Boundless Sea. These people are mostly comprised of sea faring folk who live off the sea and her creatures to survive.

Our Great Goddess of Light, Aleathen!

Blackguards of The Moonsea

A frown crossed her features as she watched the human's confused expression, then the flicker of fear that crossed his eyes as he truly heard what she said. Her keen sense of hearing picked up his breathy words and her lips puckered. Like any typical human, this one was afraid of her. She knew before she even stepped out into the light that the humans above would fear her. She had expected it, longed for it. Within the black tunnels of the Underdark, she was a common sight. She was no different than any other assassin trained within the families. She was to play the hand of justice, the executioner of their enemies while her mother played her little games of politics. But Serphia grew weary of it! She was sick of all the dreadful politics the families played. Sick of constantly having to peek at her shadow, lest another assassin drive a dagger between her shoulder blades.

It grew so tiring after doing it her whole life. She heard of the tales of other drow finding their way to the surface and making their own living there. She craved that, away from the chaos of her mother's control. She even went as far as to cut her hair short as a final display towards her mother. Using the very dagger that took many lives in her mother's name, she severed her connection. With a mighty swipe, her long braid fell to the floor before she turned from her enraged mother and left her family home for the last time. Not a single tear was shed that day for her removal from her familiar bonds, only plans to train another assassin. For that was all she ever was in her mother's eyes, a tool to keep her power secure.

So why now did she find it so distasteful for the human to be fearful of her. Perhaps she had hoped a common criminal would not hold her in such regard. However, as he spoke to her, she found his voice smooth, cultured and not at all what she had expected. He had a way of using his words in an educated manner, reminding her quite a bit of her mother and the other matriarchs of Underdark. So, he wasn't just a common, petty thief after all. Perhaps this conversation would turn more interesting.

“I've been here for half a day, at most. They captured me after I severed the hand of a noble's son. Humans seem to dislike violence as punishment towards each other.” She droned matter-of-factly. She hummed deeply in her throat, thinking of how the foolish boy would have had his throat slit the moment he laid hands on her if she was back home. She truly thought she was bestowing mercy upon the man. After all, being treated like a lowly concubine would have resulted in torture then death by any of the other families’ hands. Humans have far different rules than what she had spent her life following. It would take her more time to get used to them and finally follow along.

Her eyes flashed in the darkness as if in response to his question of her race. She watched him a moment before she shifted lightly. “I am.” She said as she peered back at him once more. “You are human, yes?” She asked in retort. She normally would not get so hot and bothered by a simple question she had answered time and time again, but her uncomfortable position and numb limbs were making her a bit more unwelcome to obvious questions. She had not figured that he could not see her as easily as she could him. Humans did not have darkvision naturally, after all.

She lingered there a moment in silence as she attempted to figure out how to better continue their conversation when she heard a quiet shuffling off in the distance. It sounded very much like the sound of stone or something hard scraping against tough fabric. Had Arloke finally awakened and was seeking her out?

It would not seem luck was on her side, however, as a guard stepped up into their hallway, carrying a torch and peering down into the dark. He scanned their cells before stepping back out, casting them back into the meager light of the dungeon. She huffed lightly as she watched the man go, disappointed splattered on her face. It was just the changing of the guard. The sun must have surely set by then if the guards were rotating. That could only mean Arloke would surely be waking soon if he wasn't awake already. She hoped he wasn't getting lost in this forsaken place.

She pushed her tongue against her teeth and release a loud, shrill whistle that echoed off the stone walls and reverberated down the halls before finally ending in silence. Her little spider friend should, no doubt, hear that call. It would only be a matter of time before he found her now.
