Lyla — Roleplayer Guild

If you want! Trying to go for the general feel in that picture.. I'm very picky. So much so, I want to use that one unless a GM tells me no. xD Anyways, it is bed time, sadly... but I got to her history section! I'll just plunk her here for now. =3



Character Summary
Name: Ayala Crest
Alias/Nickname: Whisper
Age: Looks to be 25
Race: Elder Sidhe
Rank: Exemplar

Personality: Ayala is a strange one to be sure. Especially for being a necromancer, she is unusually friendly and good-natured. Though quiet and tending to keeping to herself with the general fear that people associate with her magical gifts, she can be deadly serious and have a resolve that seems nearly unbreakable when she means to. Otherwise she is a helpful, clever type of woman who secretly carries the weight of a romantic heart.

Biography
No one really knows where she came from, including herself. Stranger still is when tower knights invited her in for shelter, she displayed very obvious necromancer arts, instantly gaining her some measure of fame. It wasn't long before she found herself being hounded by various knights, to which she simply looked at them with wide-eyed worry until the Knight Captain pulled her away into a private room.

Over the course of a few hours, the two talked mostly so the man could discern that she was no threat to the towers. After learning of her apparent amnesia, he passed her onto a knight before going along with the rest of his duties. Instead of leaving her out in the cold, they gave her the option of applying to the tower, otherwise they could only shelter her for so long. Without any direction or focus in her life she felt there really wasn't any other option and enlisted straight away.

At first her life was relatively quite, though rumors started to float across the halls rather quickly - a veilwalker was amongst the knights. Since she was rather naive in her use of powers, she was often seen turning ethereal and walking through walls as well as disappearing into mists. More so in her training she seemed to call upon blades of an ethereal-like quality that Ayala has since then dubbed 'spirit blades.' Among other things like being able to speak with the souls of the lost and sensing auras, it became obvious how rare her talents were. Before long she was taken within the Order of Shadows, but even then many of the individuals seemed to steer clear of her presence.

It wasn't until she met an Artisan named Henry who also dabbled in illusion magic. They quickly became good friends as Henry didn't seem phased by his new necromancer friend in the least bit. They would often be found just walking in tow down the hallways and spending time in each other's room, even with rumors of the two being a couple, though no one has ever seen them engage in public affection. Otherwise Ayala's time within the Tower had been a mostly pleasant one for the strange, lost Sidhe.

Reason for recruitment: Her rare gifts in necromancy paired with the fact that she had nowhere else to go and has seemed to have lost her memory.
Magic

Strength of Will: Greater Will

Veilwalker
• Ghost Form (Channeled): Ayala is able to become ethereal or ghost-like. Thus she can avoid all attacks, go through objects, but also can't interact with the physical realm in this form. She is mostly camouflaged in this form, but not completely invisible.
• Aura Sense (Channeled): Can sense auras of all kinds, be it from the dead or the living, though this only extends about forty feet from her being.
• Unnatural Sight (Channeled): Along with sensing auras, she can also see the spirits of the dead and interact with them. To top it off, it also allows her to see in the darkness with very little or no light at all.
• Ancient Tongue (Channeled): Ayala is able to understand, read, or write nearly all languages due to an unusual connection to the dead and their knowledge.
• Side Stepping (Channeled): Able to walk directly into the spirit realm, Ayala can transverse short distances within mere moments, seemingly disappearing into mist and back again.
• Spirit Blade (Channeled): Infusing soul energy into a semi-physical form, Ayala can forge a blade at will. While not aflame or dripping with ice, the blade is able to bypass some protections such as shields and other blades. What it can't do is phase through armors or magical wards, but is still extremely sharp regardless.
• Illusion Magics (Wild): Mostly unpracticed but still doable, Ayala can create some things like shadow puppets, distant sounds, flickers of light - of course all manipulations of perception and nothing actually real.

God Relations: Many people suspect that Ayala has been given her powers directly from Yishreenok, but why or for what reason is anyone's guess, seeing as the girl is friendly and good hearted.
Tech

• Undermesh: An extremely lightweight bulletproof mesh that normally goes around her torso like an undershirt.
• Feather Boots: Though a more ancient naming system, never-the-less it provides a unique service to it's user. It both allows Ayala to jump eight feet into the air as well as fall from nearly twenty stories without any damage to her body. It uses small gravitation fields to do this.

Possessions/items/property: Just a pair of fingerless gloves that she happens to adore the hell out of. Though she also has a small stuffed cat by her bedside. It's pink. Her name is Bubblegum.

Skills
• Swordsmanship: She's not exactly a master, but she knows her way around a blade and can hold her own in combat against most other melee combatants.
• Unnatural Grace: Coming from her Sidhe blood, she is amazingly balanced, flexible, and has high reflexes, though not exactly the strongest.
• Creative Thinker: Thinks out of the box, sometimes allowing her to see creative and unusual solutions to various problems.
