Name: Solan Freya
Age: 40
Race: Valkyrie-
They are race that isn’t frequently seen around anymore. They are humanoids, and can even blend in with humans; however, something that differentiates them would be the wings protruding from their backs. It takes a long time for them to learn how to fly, and often need to learn how from winged creatures such as birds. They live long lifetimes, similar to that of elves. Only a handful are able to accompany the dead to the afterlife, and must journey around the world to learn more about before even being considered for this noble of jobs. Valkyries have a peculiar sort of sixth sense that tells them if someone nearby is about to die. They are sometimes known as “Angels of death” and are feared by some who believe they bring death to anyone they meet.
Physical Description: She is an average height of about five foot four, and is on the rather scrawny side. Solan has little feminine curve much to her discomfort. Her skin is a nice dark tan as she enjoys being in the sun. She has lovely snow white hair that is cut in a short bob that reaches a little past her neck. She is young for her kind, and would be equivalent to that of a young adult. Given so, her face still has a youthful roundness to it, and her crimson eyes still have a naïve curious look to them.
Like those of her kind, she has a pair of feathery wings protruding from her back that is a fine white, matching her hair. When extended, her wingspan is a simple ten feet, that being each wing is only about five feet in length. When she matures, her wingspan will grow, which won’t be long, but she cannot fly yet. Given her youth, her wings are covered in soft down feathers with few flight feathers coming in. Much like a bird, when she’s stressed, she sheds feathers. Her wings also sometimes portray her emotions, such as when she’s excited, her wings may flap wildly. As she can’t fly, she can glide sometimes if she’s perched high enough.
Solan wears a button up high collar dark gray top that lacks sleeves. The back extends in twin tails that trail behind her, almost reaching the floor. The back of her shirt cuts off so her wings to the center of her back as to allow her wings freedom. Her pants are dark brown and cut off at her shins, and have a dark blue belt to hold them up and have several pouches to hold things. She wears light grey fingerless gloves that have folded over cuffs. On her feet she has simple brown boots. She has a headband accessory that is metallic silver and on either side of her head over her ears it has small wings
Personality: She is very inquisitive, and after hiding from the world, she wants to learn everything about it. She doesn't understand customs that take place outside of her home very well, and can be a bit awkward at times due to her misunderstandings of situations. She’s innocent, and could be very easily taken advantages of, which would be her downfall, as she is too trusting. She is also very kind and happy to each and every one, which is the opposite most expect for being an “angel of death”. Having little experience in the world previous to her sheltered life, she has little fear as to the possible dangers the world hides. Given so, she can seem rather reckless in risky situations.
History: Her village is known as Erian, and is only home to her people. Her home wasn’t always hidden from those who weren’t Valkyrie, but until recently, so few leave their tribes, in fear of the outside world, and the known discrimination against the Valkyrie. The myth that they brought death to anyone they met had spread, and with fear others held against them came violence. As a result, Solan had lived a sheltered life. For most of her life, she's trained in specializing in her own magic. Magic is a rare talent amongst her people, and she hoped it was her ticket to freedom.
Solan believes the world has changed from those times, so she studied magic under the wing of her teacher, an elder woman who also had the gift of magic and the same hope for the outside. She would be able to protect herself in the outside, so they granted her the ability to leave her home and go on an adventure, and she left as soon as she could.
Having traveled for a few weeks, she had heard of a well-known guild called Iron Tree. She knew of guilds from books, and decided the best way for her to learn more about the outside world as well gain new friends, she’d join this guild.
Class: Novice Mage
Full list of combat skills:
-When her flight feathers come in, she’ll have both stealth and flight
- Her magic revolves mostly around light and air magic.
-With light magic, she can use it to brighten up a room, by which of carrying an orb of light. She can also use it to blind opponents. As she is still new to using magic, the only offensive light magic she can use is that of a small beam. With training, she may learn more light spells for combat as well more supportive spells.
-With air magic, she usually uses it to blow away her foes as she doesn’t do well with close combat. An offensive spell she can use is that of using the air to cut things. It’s not accurate as once again, she’s still a noob, but it can do damage.
-If she is caught up and personal in battle, she has some experience with using a dagger.
Extra Details: As common to Valkyrie having a winged follower, she has the companionship of a male griffin that goes by the name of Arden. He’s young, as given to her upon her departure of home. He’s rather protective of Solan, and has a tough guy sort of vibe to him. He thinks he’s ten feet tall when in reality he’s about the size of a large house cat.
