Kings & Killers: A Classic Fantasy Adventure (Chapter: 0) (COMPLETED)

Gwyneira

Name: Gwyneira Elfreda
Age: 27
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 lbs
Class: Wizard
Race: Elf
Weapons & Equipment: A wand made of Ispar's natural timber, A steel rapier, embossed with silver, with a matching dagger, a good-quality bow with a quiver of arrows, Leather robes dyed dark blue with white trim, dark brown leather boots, a pouch containing a coin purse with 199 silver and 5 copper and a week's worth of provisions as well as her spellbook and her quill and ink, a waterskin
Skills and Abilities:
-Magic: Has a natural inclination for magic that allows her to be able to use any spells that she can learn about or figure out for herself through experimentation. But within that inclination, she has a natural affinity for light manipulation spells that make them easier for her to utilize and master.
Starting Spells (Ones that she has memorized. Others will be learned and recorded in her spellbook.):
- Illusions: Makes soundless illusions out of light
- Invisibility: Wraps light around her to make her invisible with the downside that she can't see anything while the spell lasts but has to rely on her other senses while people or animals that don't rely on sight can still find her
- Light: Creates a light to see by that she can make into a light flash bang to blind those around her
- Dim: Draws the light out of a surrounding area making it darker
- Heal: A mid-level all-round healing spell useful for both wounds and poison
- Fire: Lights a small fire which she can shape into a fireball and throw or simply use to light objects
- Ice: Shapes ice out of water or surrounding ice crystals
- Teleport: Teleports her up to 20 ft away from her initial position that she can see
-Literate: She can read and write in the common languages and some more obscure dialects.
-Amature fencer: She has some skill with the rapier, though not much. Primarily learned to keep her body fit and in case she ever needed it.
-Amature archer: Some skill with the bow. Learned so that she could hunt for her own food when needed or attack from range.

Permanent Boons:
Subtle Spell Identification: Has a better chance to identify subtly cast spells from experience (+1 perma bonus to rolls to identify subtle forms of magic.)

Bio: Born and raised in Ispar's capital city to an upper class couple, Gwyneira had the world at her fingertips. She was constantly curious about the technology around her and the whole concept of magic. Her curiosity lead to her becoming somewhat fixated with what she could discover, widening the already wide gap between her and her peers. It was when Gwyn was eight that she fully showed signs of being a magical prodigy and she was ecstatic. Her early manifestations allowed her to split light into the separate colors and dance with the colors trailing behind her. Her parents were also proud of their daughter's talent and arranged for the best tutors to help her harness and control it. Gwyn eagerly devoured all the learning that was available to her, causing her to rise rapidly above her peers and increase the gap more. That was a cause for concern for her father, but her mother was sure that Gwyn could make friends when she was ready. Gwyn never really cared either way. The lack of needed interaction with peers allowed her to get lost for hours practicing and experimenting with what she knew. When not doing that, she was reading new things about magic or what was known of the other provinces or any odd book of history and knowledge that caught her fancy. She wasn't able to spend every hour in that fashion though since her mother insisted that she look after herself and stay fit, leading to Gwyn picking up fencing and archery. There was also the time needed for her non-magical homework, which she still did well on but never enjoyed as much aside from history. As her years at the academy came to an end, Gwyn pondered if the school had really taught everything possible about magic. The academy had the complete knowledge of what was currently known by the leading wizards of Ispar, but other lands may have magics that Ispar wizards dismissed or clues to further facets of magical power. With that in mind as she graduated, Gwyn set out into the world to completely master magic, seeking for any spell types that might not have been covered at the academy or to discover her own.

@Dynamo FrokaneThanks. I'll transfer her over later today.

Star Wars - The Old Republic: Legacy

@Stormflyx Alright. I'm willing to work with you guys to make Evrain better. Thanks for thinking he has potential with a little polishing.

I guess I was trying too hard to show a character that was not naturally out-going but learned to be so in order to achieve his objectives. The lack of friends was more from him not his colleagues at Imp Int to be his friends partially since they only interact with a fake him and partially since Evrain doesn't want to have a conflict of loyalties when the Empire finally turns on the Chiss.

The hatred of the Empire was because he's more loyal to his people than to the Empire and is only serving the Empire because of the treaty. Then increased because of how the Empire operated. I could figure out a more concise way to state it or simply have him more neautral about the Empire but definitely loyal to his people.

Glad you liked his love of puzzles. I had thrown that in since it fit him and could be a source of pleasure within the job.

@Dynamo Frokane Done with the second edit. Added a drawing I found that was close to my imagining of her and expanded her backstory.

@Dynamo Frokane Alright. I'll get on that. Though I did specify that she's from Ispar.

Star Wars - The Old Republic: Legacy

Sounds like an interesting roleplay. Mind if I throw in a character to see if you like him?

Evrain

Name: Sev'rai'nuruodo (Core name: Evrain)(Code Sign: Cipher Seven)
Age: 23
Class: Imperial Agent- Operative
Home Planet: Csilla

_________________


Appearance: Raven-black short hair combed back combined with a oval face with sharp cheekbones, scarlet red eyes, and a scar across his cheek. His body is muscular and lean without being overly muscular. He's around 5' 4" in height with dark blue skin. When not in clothing for a disguise, he wears the usual black Imperial uniform with a blaster resistant cuirass hidden beneath the outer layers.

Personality: To most people, Evrain is a typical Chiss; arrogant, coldly professional and civil, practical minded and capable of being absolutely ruthless. To others, he'll appear laid-back, cocky, and quite a flirt to the ladies when the bosses aren't around. Both views are carefully constructed by him, given to people depending on what he observes would work better to stay out of serious trouble and learn information. Both show him to be on guard, constantly observing, analysing, and keeping himself from being too vulnerable. His real self has a mixture of the two shields. He is rather lax by Chiss standards, but always professional enough for him to not become a borderline pariah. He has confidence in his abilities without being overly confident. He's loyal to his people and his family, though he'd be loyal to friends if he had any. He's highly pragmatic and highly compassionate, coming up with pragmatic reasons for helping people when able. The biggest secret he hides about himself is how he's absolutely sick of the Empire.

He's sick of the Sith constantly willing to exert their power over those they consider beneath them (aka everyone else) and the government constantly willing to sacrifice their troops and the civilians they are suppose to be defending needlessly. The fact that the majority of Imperial deals end up with the other side backstabbed doesn't help either, especially with how precarious it shows Csilla's position to be if the Empire should ever feel like bringing the Chiss completely under their rule, such as maybe after the Empire destroyed the Republic. He knows the Ruling Families are aware of that too, but it doesn't help how he sometimes just wants for the Chiss to leave the whole war behind and let the two sides burn each other down. Then maybe he could retire and write his stories full-time, even if only for his own amusement.

Until then, he'll be doing what needs to be done for his people while serving the Empire while letting out some snark when appropriate. Thankfully, he does still enjoy puzzles, the chance to one-up others, and the times he can screw the Empire without getting caught. If he can also help people who are in tight spots and don't deserve to be at the same time, all the better.

History:

Evrain had a typical Chiss childhood in Csilla. He was a quiet, well-behaved child that did well in school whose well-to-do parents who cared for him, encouraged his natural talents, and instilled in him the Chiss principles and virtues. He joined the Defense Force after he became an adult at the age of ten. He proved his mettle in some minor skirmishes with pirates from the Unknown Regions and was chosen to be trained as a member of the Chiss Secret Police. After he passed the training with flying colors, he was assigned the mission to serve the Empire as per the treaty. In addition, Evrain was assigned to to spy on the Empire for the Ascendency and give info about strengths, weaknesses, and when the Empire was poised to turn on the Chiss.

His first major challenge was the sheer culture shock of Dromund Kaas. His instructors tried to prepare him for it, but it was still a shocker. Even stoic humans often portrayed more emotion than a Chiss was want to do and everyone else felt that they could be as freely emotional as they wanted to in public, especially insane Sith who Evrain soon learned to avoid like the plague if possible. At first, Evrain became more coldly professional than he usually was in an attempt to have some control of his new environment. He got along with most of his new instructors as he went through Imperial Intelligence training with that persona, but he soon found that he was quickly distancing himself from his colleagues. Since that could prove detrimental to his mission, he observed how they interacted with each other than slowly adapted what he saw to his interactions with them added in with his infiltration training. There were some initial false starts (one which caused the scar on his face when he made an accidental innuendo while trying to disengage from an unsuccessful flirting attempt with a female Rattataki) but he eventually was able to create his cocky, laid-back, friendly flirt persona that became his ticket to socializing.

It was while socializing that he came across fiction that was simply for fun and not concerned with being moral tales. He was hooked from the start, though he fought to keep it on the down low so that it couldn't be exploited against him. Any free moment he had he'd read stories and watch holo-vids, accessed and acquired through various different secret identities. As he finished his new training, he started to dabble in some writing himself. But he never allowed it to get in the way of his objectives.

His first assignments were small time things; get info from Republic bases of little importance, persuade neaturals to fight with the Empire by any means necessary, low-key assassinations. What he reported to his imperial bosses wasn't always the exact truth about what was happening, but he found that he could get away with acting on in compassion as long as he could spin it right or rely on exact words. His successes caused him to rise through the ranks until he became Cipher Seven. Now he needs to prepare himself for a whole new playing field and his next assignment will see if he can still make this work.

- Tactics: A solid grasp of how to use them, though his methods are sometimes met with raised eyebrows.
- Medical: Evrain has learned to treat himself and others in cases of emergency with standard medical supplies and some creative ones when needed.
- Observation and Analysis: Evrain has a highly eidetic memory and a high perception of his surroundings and others helped by his ability to see into the infrared. Together, his brain is able to analysis the pieces and come to conclusions he acts upon to make himself a successful agent.

_________________

Misc: The disguise kit is to answer the question about how could a Chiss agent be successful in an infiltration mission when Chiss are known to work for the Empire.

He's a terrible cook, ruining everything he touches. When on his own, he makes himself survive on ration packs. A well-cooked meal is one of the few things he'll pay through the nose to get.

He has secretly become very fond of fiction stories, particularly action-adventures and comedies, and has even started writing some when he has privacy.

@Mattchstick
Thanks, though I don't think I know the series well enough to do that character justice.

I've also been considering Fredrica from Etrian Odyssey Untold, Chrom from FE:Awakening, the protagonist from Dragon Quest IX, or one of the protagonists from the Fable series.
