@Zoey White Working on my post to buy Jehenne and Rote. And yeah on the second question.

Intrigues of Venedig - High Fantasy Mature RP

@Aqutanama Fun is always the reason why I roleplay. And involve myself into the characters I play as. I should finish Overlord since it did get a 3rd season. Been distracted with other things that are keeping my attention away from Anime at the moment.

That's definitely good to say about an anime that has a sad story with character development. Since most of those animes don't have character development alike, the OP Smartphone in the medieval world of magic. *grumbles slightly about a God Accidentally killing a guy that's too dense of the world around him.* I know it was a harem but still... it was a bit too unbelievable. I know I shouldn't be putting logic into an anime like In Another World with my smartphone but... jeez.

Then I cannot wait for more posts by you then to make me laugh even more.

@Aqutanama The post was very enjoyable and it made me laugh near the end. I feel sorry for your character a bit.

However, onto a different subject I've only watched 5 of the Isekai anime you've listed. (SAO, Log Horizon, Overlord, The Smartphone one and .hack.) Even though it would probably be better to play the .hack games. Guess I should watch Rise of the Shield Hero because I heard it was good. In terms of the 5 anime I listed I really enjoyed Log Horizon while SAO is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because one got the MMO terms right and the other felt a bit... rushed.

Location: The Slave Market – Watching the Slaves be sold

---

Louise was holding her Goreflame Staff that was billowing fire upwards, however, she wasn’t rich enough to buy anything alike a slave for herself. It was positive the company, would probably be buying some slaves at this auction since she worked for them as a lonely courier. She did stare directly at all the slaves, which were naked and being shown out to the world to own. It was pretty much obvious, whomever buys these slaves will be needing big pockets. ”What a pity, this is the first time I’ve seen this at all. Guess these are the infamous nobles that betrayed the Emperor. But its pretty much obvious this would be their just desserts.” Louise thought to herself, while starring pretty far back at the Slave Market not really interested in walking up to buy any of them. However, any of them would be pretty interesting to keep an eye on nonetheless. She sighs a bit while starring at the Goreflame Staff.

The Goreflame Staff crackles, pops a bit and speaks with a distinct tone in its voice, which sounds like an older woman that sounds quite motherly and protective. ”The whole naught of what they wrought on themselves is nothing of a figment of desires. Most people would be outright wrought with despair but these slaves seem a bit more lively than you once were in your own home Louise.” The Goreflame Staff’s motherly voice. It was telling the truth in that they are defiant while also wanting to do something a bit extra to the whole ordeal. The Staff was wise but a bit creepy when it spoke and usually allows her to hold a conversation with it.

Louise couldn’t help sigh, laugh slightly at what the Goreflame Staff had said specifically. It was pretty much in everyone’s nature to hate people whom are below you or different from you. However, she gave a frown while looking at the staff and went looking back at the slaves that were now on offer to sell again. It was self-evident their time in Venedig was going to be hell but she will help their stay as long as possible, mostly in terms of helping them learn their new rank in life as lowly slaves. ”This is like a repeatable conversation we’ve had Goreflame Staff’s three souls. I do agree with you in some bits but please don’t bring up my family again. I know its hard not to do since we were both trapped there for along time. Traditions, which didn’t fit me anyway...” Louise said, with a bit of a sour taste in her mouth. It was definitely something she doesn’t want to bring up again. She joined with the company to make a name for herself, which in turn she used her full name. It was definitely a good thing she joined the Alhryt-Liu Trade & Lending Company.

She liked what she saw in terms of the slaves that were being sold, which was definitely nice compared to the other type of chattel that was sold here. It was pretty much obvious, she learned this very quickly that Venedig was efficient in selling slaves and how well they kept them healthy. ”I wonder what slaves the Company will be buying from this slave market?” Louise questioned without wanting to know this answer mostly. Her being a fire mage definitely made her stand out a bit. It didn’t help her magic was wild and a bit out of control sometimes but the fire gem around her necklace usually absorbs fire magic, which is going out of control.

Holly noticed her status changed specifically the Static Charge disappeared off her status screen, which meant some good news. It didn’t really brighten her mood up a bit since they still have many more floors to go before they are free of this prison. She heard what Willow had agreed with her and she did smile a bit. However, what River had said and trying to ruffle Willow’s hair kinda gave her a smile. ”Ever the optimist, River? I do have to agree unlocking a subclass finally is definitely cool. It’s definitely something I will have to do like everyone else in our guild, which didn't have it.” Holly said, with a more usual smile she had when meeting everyone in Last Genesis. She noticed the key placed in front of her by River, which is her room key. ”Thank you for the inn room, River.” Holly said, with a gentle smile. She raised her head up to move her room key closer to her.

Holly didn’t really know where Ceci was since she is definitely highly reckless and fast. However, she looked around the tavern and saw Prome in the corner of the Tavern huddled there. She decided to point him out to River and Willow. It was mostly because he looks definitely shaken of the whole thing. ”Prome about you sit with us instead of sitting on the floor in the corner of the tavern.” Holly said, with a bit of care. He has been through hell since he was on 1 HP after that horribleness on said first floor to this climb basically. She did notice him rocking back and forth, however, it was a bit depressing and he should be protected basically.

Holly felt a bit annoyed at what River and Willow said about a nasty monster, it made tons of sense it would be a world boss or some such alike that. It was definitely a bit eye rolling to say the least, which definitely decreased her mood. However, when River went a bit more quiet and tried to tell a scary story, however, about the name of monster. It definitely shook her a bit, struck a nerve to say the least. ”That’s an odd name to say for sure...” Holly said, basically trying to not look scared. However, her understanding of that Static charge status effect makes more sense if it came from a large roaming world boss of some sort. ”Better to be prepared than not… but that’s always what my father would say.” Holly said, with a definite improvement in her mood.

Holly tried to distract herself to look through the guild messages and she had a big bright smile on her face. She saw Ceci’s guild message, which made her better that she’s alright and that she got to the Guild quickly. She decided to respond to Ceci via the guild messaging system.

Ceci, you are so reckless!

It’s nice you reached the guild hall so quickly. That will be definitely nice to know about my specific subclass, which is Ranger. And I will definitely enjoy hearing about the quests on this floor.

That’s a bit… unimaginative using Godzilla as a creature design. I hope they aren’t any lazier and decided to bring a T-Rex from Jurassic Park into this game. If I am right you have the right to pinch me, Ceci.

Bye Bye, Ceci
Holly

Holly deeply sighed with a bit of relief in knowing where Ceci is in coloration with where they are. She couldn’t help but notice what Willow was about to say but changed what she wanted to say with winning. It definitely was a hard pill to swallow but winning is better than surviving. ”I have to agree Willow… We did win… We just have to keep on winning and get out of our situation as a whole. That whole last floor fight was terribly poorly organized and coordinated. Better to have a plan and strategy than nothing at all like that cluster fuck.” Holly said, with a brighter smile than she had. She was cheered up a bit more with what Willow said than River’s optimism. In addition, to that her food arrived with the quick service of the waitress, which she smiled to. "Thank you." Holly said to Anu. She was definitely impressed with the selection of what she ordered and started to eat the Stew and sipped a bit of the Ale. It was a bit strong for her since she has never really touched alcohol in her life but she definitely needed it now.

@Zoey White I do like your character as well. In terms of the character profile. Kinda sad she lost her brother. :(

Intrigues of Venedig - High Fantasy Mature RP

Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl

”My family’s Traditions are too ridged and blatantly negative towards my growth as a mage.”

---

Name:
Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl

Nickname:

The Firebringer – Louise was given this nickname as soon as her family disowned her and branded her with a specific tattoo on her back. She will always be the black sheep of her family because of that brand on her back given to her by her own mother Raina. Whom she actually loved like a mother until that day.

Birthdate:
June 21

Age:
22

---

Physical Description:

The tradition of the von Hammerwhirl family is long and deep within everything they wear and how pretty they must be for the women in the family. Louise is standing at five foot and six inches and weighs 130 lbs, her body frame is a bit more robust and beautiful looking in terms of an hourglass shape. She looks a bit stronger since its mostly because of the rigorous training tradition of the family in most things. Her silver eyes always have a burning fire within them that has never dimmed but only became brighter after being freed of the tradition. Louise’s hair is the most unique thing about her, which is because it can catch a lit and look as if it is on fire, when it is actually fire. It is vibrant and it’s color is red, which normally when it isn’t catch a lit by the change of oxygen in the room or if she gets into a heated conversation that usually causes the room to heat up as well.

Louise has a tattoo brand on her back, which is called the Firebringer. It is a tattoo showing what she did to cause her to become the disowned from her family, it is an image of a home burning down with wicked flames attached to said house. This is a way for the von Hammerwhirl family to never forget or never forgive what Louise has done. She wears mage gear, which was handcrafted by her own family to painstakingly decrease the intensity of the flames. They sprout from her new clothes since they are an insulator for said uncontrollable magics she wields. The Necklace around her necklace does the opposite of what other magical stones do instead of allowing the flames and fires to writhe and go out of control. It absorbs the magic fire before it is able to escape and damage the surrounding lands or buildings.

She wields a specific fire staff, which the von Hammerwhirl family knows much about it is called the Goreflame Staff. It was very fitting for her since its based around what she wanted the most freedom and the staff wanted it too. The Staff is very creepy in how it can speak to her and other people as if it is a living magical weapon. Louise has a highly deep understanding of certain things rather than others, however, the freedom she feels now than she did is breathtaking. It’s in how she walks, which is different to how she walked or ran before it’s like she was running from the tradition and now she runs because she can and will to whatever she’ll get.

Louise has a necklace around her neck that’s in a bow-shaped look since its her mother’s handcrafted silver necklace, which she got after her being disowned. It’s one of the important items in her whole world since her mother still truly loves her but has to act cruel and mean since her father would probably do the same to her.

Important Items:

• The Goreflame Staff
  
  The entire staff is made up of Obsidian, which is why it is black with fire spouting from its top. It gave everyone in the von Hammerwhirl a fright every time it speaks as a mother and her two children. The only person that wasn’t afraid of the staff, which was Louise since it is a flame staff. She enjoyed speaking to a staff that sounds like a mother and two children that were brutally sacrificed in creating this staff for a powerful fire mage. The Souls within the Staff itself the mother, her teenage daughter and her youngest child are 31 years old, 15 years old and 9 to 10 years old in question. In terms of what it does, other than the creepy voices coming from the staff itself.
  
  It can empower one spell within Louise’s Arsenal to be more much more controllable than her magic usually is, since it is as wild as her. It takes a day for it to recharge its ability to empower a single spell within Louise’s arsenal to make it more direct towards a more defensive than offensive spell. The oddity of these transforming offensive spells into defensive is because of the souls within the Staff trying to protect their wielder in anyway possible.
  
  The additionally oddly weird thing it can do is stand perfectly still within the middle of a room as if it is being held. However, it isn't being held because it is watching over the room in question it is placed in by Louise. Louise usually places it in in the middle of the Inn room, which she sleeps in.
• The Bow-Shaped Necklace of Opposites
  
  The Bow-Shaped Necklace of Opposites is a highly unique pendant necklace, which its bow-shaped pendant opens up showing her mother Raina and herself on the other side. It’s mostly telling her that no matter what Raina will always be her mother even though the head of the family outright disallows it, which is her father Steven. Her mother is still wielding her favorite bow in the picture and would rather die than see her own child killed by Steven for basically being a mage.
• Louise’s Journal
  
  Louise has always kept a journal to record things that she wishes to keep from people but its pretty obvious her childhood wasn’t that fun compared to what she’s doing now. She has never regretted for what she did to her family’s home because of the fact it was needed to show her father some humility. However, it made her definitely afraid of him since he was justified in his 100% stance in killing her ever since Louise was found out to be a Mage. The Journal has the von Hammerwhirl coat of arms on the back of it.
• Gold Pouch

---

Starting Faction:

Alhryt-Liu Trade & Lending Company

Louise joined the Alhryt-Liu Trade & Lending Company, which she could get away from her blatantly highly ridged family’s traditions. It’s primarily because her entire family outright disowned her for what she did before she went to join the company. She is a message runner for the company about escaped slaves, which is basically a general laborer job. The Company themselves don’t care about the fact she is a mage.

---

Spell List:

• The Will of Fire
  
  The Will of Fire is basically an effected by her mood, which if she ever gets into an agrument that makes her extremely angry. It causes her flames that sprout off her body, clothes to start moving to do something a bit more dangerous than usual, which is basically arson. She lost control of what she basically is and caused her childhood home to burn down.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Will of Fire from a highly dangerous burn everything down type spell into a fire shield, which wraps gently around Louise protecting her from anything that is easily burned if it is shot directly at her. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff shield me from the projectiles of the people who would harm me.’
• The Rain of Fire
  
  The Rain of Fire is basically a spell that she casts to effect a large area in front of her, which constantly pelts the area with fire balls that rain from the skies. It’s damage differs when its against nature or against people, when it faces nature its pretty much highly destructive. While the people will usually only have third degree burns unless they are healed by a person taught in advanced medicines and cures of the time.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Rain of Fire into the Wall of Fire, which causes it to rise from the ground in a definite wall shape in front of her. It’s a protective barrier against anyone stupid enough to try to charge at her without thinking ahead and it protects her from arrows and bolts too. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ‘Please Goreflame Staff wall off these intruders from my sight so I don’t have to look at them anymore.’
• The Elemental of Fire
  
  The Elemental of Fire is a powerful fire spell, which she learned from the Goreflame Staff. It allows her to control a single fire elemental as long as she’s able to keep calm and collected. The Elemental has two primary forms of attacking, which are the use of fireballs or a flame whip in keeping people in line with whoever is required to stay in line. The elemental looks like a 31 year old woman in size and height but has bluish green pulsing eyes while staring at people. It talks similarly as the older soul within the Goreflame Staff.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Elemental of Fire into the Aura of Fire, which causes Louise to calm down and remain focused on whatever task she was doing before she got angry and uncontrollable. It’s primarily a focusing aura of fire than an aura of fire that harms people, it is still hot to the touch but would feel like hot water falling on your face more than anything. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff stop me from doing something stupid and keep me focused.’
• The Fire Seal
  
  The Fire Seal spell is a spell, which she learned from the Goreflame Staff. It allows her to place a seal on the ground, which bars off a person from going a certain direction. When it activates it warns any nearby guards or others to the person whom tried to escape from their cell. The activation sound is a laughter at blocking someone’s escape. However, there can only be only two of these placed at a time and they cannot be activated at the same time since there’s a delay to the trap’s activation.
  
  Empowered Effect: This changes the Fire Seal into the Flame Longbow, which Louise is able to wield in her hands as long as they are on fire. Both seals on the ground are completely dissipated and utterly transforms the seals if they haven’t been activated into a Flame Quiver with 15 Flame Arrows to be used. It’s specifically shaped into whatever bow she likes the look of, which is why it looks specifically like her mother’s bow in the picture. The empowered effect is from the Goreflame Staff. You will have to say, ’Please Goreflame Staff make my aim true so I can feel like my mother feels when she wields a bow.’

Exceptional Skill List:

• The Raina Style of Archery (Exceptional Archery)
  
  Louise is completely able to wield any bow or crossbow as long as she wields them for hunting purposes. It’s mostly because her mother Raina was taught from a young age to wield a longbow to hunt her own food and what not. Raina passed down her skills in hunting down animals to her daughter Louise since she saw she would need it sooner than later.
• The von Hammerwhirl’s Endurance (Exceptional Endurance)
  
  The Rigorous training regimen that her father put her through has increased her endurance to be better and able to handle certain things better. It’ll take a long time for her endurance to be as great as her father or any of the Hammerwhirl Family’s greatest warriors for hire. That are also great mage killers on top of it. It is why she’s a bit more built for wearing heavier armor than most woman her size.

---

Personality:

Louise has quite a hotheaded streak throughout her childhood while growing up. It caused her constantly to butt heads with her father Steven. He was a bit of a prick and didn’t see her as a daughter and more of an obstacle to be dealt with in the most severe ways. However, he tried to pass down some knowledge and tradition to her, however, she didn’t want it at all because how he didn’t treat her with respect. Their relationship was never really going to be fixed since niether of them got what they wanted throughout their whole life living together. She thought to try to teach her father some humility but it was no use and caused her to literally do something she never has regretted since.

She was wholly sick and tired how everyone in her family minus her own mother treated her. They kept her shackled without having the actual shackles on her at the house like a caged bird unable to go free. All the things in the family was mandatory no matter what because of the family’s tradition, which caused her to feel definitely not enjoying her time there. It would’ve taken something distrastic for her to be free of her shackles, which caused her to walk up to her father one day and literally tell him off. However, what he said to her that day caused her to be very afraid of him, which is why she never felt sorry for the burning of her own home. It felt more like a prison than a loving and caring home.

Louise was finally free, however, she had to lose her connection with her mother Raina because she had to say some very mean things to her. Raina always loved her daughter Louise and never going to ruin that because of what her husband Steven wants. She got what she always wanted from her mother, which is the necklace of opposites. It was the most prideful thing she liked from her mother’s necklace collection. She’s much more calm and collected around her mother but her magic goes wild when around her father Steven since he’s a bit of an asshole. It pained her mother to brand her daughter with the tattoo of what she had done but it was one step closer to the freedom she desires the most.

She got her freedom even though she got disowned by her family, however, she’s able to do what she wanted to do and that’s to do whatever is in her own power to make a name for herself. It’s the first time she felt not tied to a name and a home because of her father Steven but truly herself.

Short Bio:

Louise was born to Steven Janus von Hammerwhirl and Raina August von Hammerwhirl on a beautiful summer morning on the 21st of June. They didn’t know at the time that Louise was in the most aspects was a mage and couldn’t control her powers not at all. Throughout her young childhood within the family was basically a loving warm family taking care of their new addition to the family. However, Steven was mostly out on his contracts working as a Mage Killer or otherwise. Her mother Raina stayed at home mostly keeping her two children at the time happy and keeping each other out of trouble. It was basically the reason why it was a loving home at first.

This loving home changed to a basically a landscape of hell that was unable to stop when Louise was at least eight years old. Is when one of the maids in the home saw her hair on fire, as if she was burning to death, however, it was more like she was awakening to her magical potential. Her father outright put out the fire, however, a few moments of the hair being dried it lit back up. Steven was utmost furious at the whole ordeal and called a mandatory family meeting about what to do with the awakened mage in their own family. He ignored his wife’s pleas of not killing the child on her 15th birthday alike all the others that have been killed because they awakened to their magical potential. However, when he asked her response, she outright yelled it to her husband to not kill Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl and she’ll be responsible for anything the child will do or will not do with her magic. It was because of that plea from Raina August von Hammerwhirl that allowed their daughter Louise to stay alive. This one decision made Steven outright dickish towards his wife Raina and his daughter Louise in particular he stopped loving them.

Louise had to go through every single thing her father put her through with a face of irritation. As she got older, the more annoyingly question asking towards her father she was, she constantly asked questions to her father in why he was being distant. She did get through him in making him stop being so distant with Raina, it took this child he outright despised to fix his relationship with her mother. Steven outright didn’t thank the black sheep for the help, he did gave her a backhanded insult to the youngish girl. She was 15 years old at the time when that backhanded insult happened. It was obvious she didn’t like the insult her father gave her since she had a definite trying time to keep herself calm in not losing control of what she had.

She had a better connection with her mother than her father anyway. However, Steven needed some humility and becoming generous again because he was being quite distant and hateful towards her. Exactly three years later, she walked into her father’s study and asked him specifically why he called her a black sheep and all the mean and hateful things he said to her while she was growing up. Steven looked directly at her and told her, her useless mother should have let you die by his own hands in a battle to the death combat. But Raina had to outright say no, alike she was protecting her own daughter from her mage killer father. Louise at this moment became highly afraid and lost her calm and collective hotheaded persona and she went out and said the one thing that her father said to her all the time. In the moment of fury and hate, she told her father specifically she hated him for being a cruel monster that butcher the helpless. This caused her will of fire to go out of control and tried to kill her father exactly because of his plainly disrespect of fighting fair. The von Hammerwhirl family fights fair in a fight, but she told him I guess fighting fair doesn’t matter if it is against mages.

Steven outright laughed at her blatantly insulting towards the traditions of the family, however, he always knew mages were unjust to live. However, he promised his wife not to harm Louise if she debases herself to show what all mages want and that’s his head and his family broken and destroyed. He was a bit amazed that his daughter wanted to kill him, however. It made him tinge at the thought of being killed by a mage in his own family, however, he shrugged off the magic emitting from his daughter. Steven outright called his daughter weak and hopeless, if his hands weren’t tied behind his back he would kill her right now with his Great Maul in its holder on the ground. However, she was furious and the will of fire of her entire body started to engulf the home. She told her father, than you don’t deserve a home to live in I felt hopeless in this house and I now know the reason for this, you father.

Steven learned on single thing he should ignore his wife’s pleas the next time this happens with any of his children and kill them when they turn 15. He knew all the house was already evacuated because he was planning to upgrade his home anyway but it needed to be burnt down anyways. Louise was confused in why she was thanked for burning down their home. However, she fainted from her magical power being overexerting a bit too much since the entire mansion was being consumed by fire. He helped her since he can handle the heat and didn’t want his own daughter to die by something stupid as being exhausted while in a burning building. The only good thing he done for his daughter the entire time she was alive. In a sense, he was taught humility but didn’t care about such things since his daughter was a mage.

Louise woke up awhile later in a small house with her mother sitting by her. Raina told her that her family agreed of disowning her and outright freeing her of the bonds of her name. However, Louise was a bit tearful when she learned that she wouldn’t be able to use her full name. Raina tried to calm her down since not many people will know what she has done since they are so removed from Venedig. She could still use her name as long as she doesn’t show the tattoo she has to be given, which is unable to be removed via the magic she wields. It is basically called the firebringer tattoo, it describes very well on her back that she burnt down the childhood home of her, her elder brother Ethan and her younger sister Fiona. She was basically happy to get the tattoo since she would feel better outside and walking about being helpful instead of helpless. Raina told her how long the new renovation will take in terms of rebuilding the mansion brand new. She finally realized why her father thanked her for burning down the house now, she was necessary. It took her a bit and sighed because that’s too much for her the last thing her father did was make her burn down their own house. However, she always felt like it was required for her to feel better than she always had.

It took at least 3 years for them to create the necessary gear for her to decrease her magical potential and she was given the most creepy staff in the vault of the von Hammerwhirl Family, the Goreflame Staff. The only part of the mansion that was completely untouched since it can withstand much more than a fire. She was not really creeped out by the weapon they gave to her but she was a bit dazzled by the fact it could speak in a feminine voice. However, she was told that there’s three souls within the Goreflame Staff that are female that were sacrificed for nothing basically by her father. Since the mage was overconfident and was caught completely unaware by the Mage Killers that were hunting him.

After all that she was let go and she traveled where her freedom wanted her to go, which caused her to find herself in Venedig and joining the Alhryt-Liu Trade and Lending Company as a lowly message runner for the company about escaped slaves. The company didn’t really mind she was a mage at all because they allow all sorts of folks to join their company. She just turned 22 years old when she joined up with the Alhryt-Liu Trade and Lending Company.

Additional Information

The von Hammerwhirl Family

The von Hammerwhirl Family are steeped in tradition and routine that served them for many generations and the fact they outright have a hostile reaction to any form of magic. They are blatantly ignorant and arrogant towards anyone who’s deemed a mage and sees it as a form of cheating. They are highly honorable when fighting in another faction’s wars or any such aggressive action, which they always strive in saving the civilians first instead of letting them die. They primarily wield great mauls, tower shields and heavy plate mail with chained mail underneath to protect themselves from arrows.

It has said they usually get hired by the City Government of Venedig and any other faction that gives them a large amount of coin to fight against bandits or monsters of the surrounding area of the city. It is said a terrible calamity befell the family when their family gained an unlikely very heated debate surrounding their second born daughter Louise. It is very rare that a mage is born within the Hammerwhirl family but whenever it happens they usually do the best option and kill the child, however, the mother didn’t want Louise to die. This was pretty much the reason why Louise was left alive throughout her childhood always unable to wield what she was, a mage. She felt like a caged bird in a very tight knit community of people who will always hate her for what she is rather than being open minded about the future.

The family after a certain thing happened outright disowned Louise because of this. Her family curses her name and calls her the Firebringer as a highly negative outlook. Her mother has regretted her decision in allowing her child live but its too late for that. The von Hammerwhirl family are one of the family’s that people usually hire to hunt down and kill Mages if they are too dangerous. However, the scar on the family is the fact they allowed Louise to live when they should have all came to the agreement to kill the girl when she came to the age of 15.

The Family:

• Steven Janus von Hammerwhirl (Alive – 45)
• Raina August von Hammerwhirl (Alive – 45)
• Ethan Lee von Hammerwhirl (Alive – 24)
• Louise Ester von Hammerwhirl (Alive – 22)
• Fiona Dora von Hammerwhirl (Alive – 15)

<Snipped quote by Landaus Five-One>

Venedig is 1000 years old and has been part of the Reich since its founding. The Reich itself is 2000 - 3000 years old. The tribal peoples who came before the Reich revered 'Gods' who were in fact Mortals empowered by Magic. Hatred for Magic is not a major thing in the world and would be seen as a form of madness.

It's all implied or even stated in the OOC OP, in the 'Reich des Goldenen Grahles' hider.

Edit: Okay, it's implied that the Reich lasted for a few centuries and not a millenium before the formation of the Great Inland Sea and the founding of Venedig. But there was still a full millennium after those events.

What you said specifically about a form of madness is very fitting for Louise's family traditions. It took the kindness of her mother to literally break the cycle they have been going on for basically 115 years since the creation of the traditions. Basically a mother outright wanting to protect her daughter to stop the crazy shit that's happening in the family so they would go back to their roots more or less. However, the dissolution of the traditions altogether will take two to three years with assistance of making sure this doesn't happen again.

The traditions before the 115 year mark in the von Hammerwhirl Family was basically similarly based around worshiping craftsmanship and how well they can make weapons/armor. But they slowly transited into something a bit different, which ended with Steven's departure ala, Mage Killers. Since he no longer wants to wield his great maul against a family member again, no matter if they are a mage or not. However, his children aren't corrupted by the traditions of the old since they were paying lip service to him. It didn't help the traditions primarily hurt the growth of Louise as a mage.

All her magic abilities are a bit uncontrollable because of her upbringing. Her elder brother Ethan and younger sister Fiona were definitely empathic to her plight of what their father put the family through. A literal madness amongst one of the family members. It shows that the von Hammerwhirl family is changing for the better and no longer going to use those traditions of madness. Since Raina didn't like them anyway. However, all family's have bad eggs? It just showed that Steven was a bit more stuck on the tradition without looking passed it. Even though the battle to the death was a thing back then but it was mainly for the son or daughter who could do a better job than the Father in terms of Leadership. It was a challenge basically to replace the father by battle to the death, which turned into that specific overwhelmingly cruel thing towards Magi.

Edit: The family traditions basically broke on Louise's 8th birthday because of her mother's kindness. Since that's when it was 115 years, however, her father tried to keep them going but failed pretty badly. Which is why he used the last resort of disownedment of his daughter, which is a 3 years wait.

@Letter Bee It's a good thing her father is the last of the old traditionalists within the family since the old traditions were based in the past really far in the past like centuries old traditions that didn't change with the times of the Major Nations.

Raina on the other hand, was more in the know of the gifts of mages, which is why she didn't want her daughter to die for one and the other even though all family's are a bit 'enteric' thinkers. Raina's elder sister is a mage that heals the wounded and less fortunate.

Raina, Ethan and Fiona was playing along with the old dog that can't play new tricks ala Steven. Since Ethan isn't really using his equipment to fight mages more like protect them since he heard that protecting mages would pay more than hunting them down since that's against the nations rules. Ethan and Fiona learned the hundreds upon hundreds of traditions need to be changed so they can stopped being looked down upon for what their father and his ancestors caused them harm for so long. In terms of that single rule of 1 to 1 combat to the death with a child who's of their family. Steven retired his maul and went into a self-serving exile from his wife, and two children that still lives at the von Hammerwhirl rebuilt mansion. Because he learned he shouldn't have been so hard on Louise but was too much of a individual that couldn't believe any what thing the other families were trying to teach him that Mages and magic should be celebrated than what his family has done for generations. He gave the right of leadership to Raina, to change some of the more insane of his family's long list of traditions that aren't made for the present.

Louise knows nothing of this but her mother Raina would be a better leader of the family than her father since they constantly fought nonetheless. Because she wanted to leave the Estate. It's going to take about a long time until the von Hammerwhirl Family's traditions are completely different from what Steven was protecting for so long. But they are changing from their boorish behavior to a more acceptable apart of society as a whole. It was the reason why Raina gave her pendant necklace to her daughter so Louise could always remember the good times rather than the bad.
