The Witcher: Under the Shadow

...compared to the other people whom had been recruited for their importance or took the mission much more seriously, Alicia was more than enough happy to be out on the roads and not stuck in some class lecturing over the same topic or same mixing techniques for the thousand time in a row. Or brewing up the same boring tinctures, poultices and medicine for injured soldiers whom would discard of the produce as soon as it had finished it's job. Nobody was eager to seek out the 'why not' - many were content to accept anything as 'just is'.

That was one of the reasons, when the King' Messenger had come looking for a skilled individual whom was skilled alchemy yet also had the necessary know-how in surviving beyond the walls of Oxenfurt. Granted, she hadn't been outside the walls for some time like many others - except she had the largest collection of knowledge either in her napsack or in her head at that. Plus, she was literally eager for anything to stop the monotony of Oxenfurt. While many else would've been excited to have access to such labs, funding and equipment it got dull after several years. When she had been studying in Oxenfurt - she had taken the idea of 'constantly seeking truth and knowledge' quite literally to her heart. For years, she had spent out in brewing the various potions from the various books - eager to see if what they produced was true or not. Danger didn't register much in her mind in those moments - she was careful, precise yet always seeking more.

Though, rather quickly things had gotten dull yet again. Some of the more 'potent' stuff were locked behind lock and key and forbidden to her. Mostly cause such items usually resulted in poisons or toxins that could likely kill half the school if allowed to settle for even a second - but also, cause the necessary ingredients were rare to come by. Having never traveled to Nilfgaard or any of their border territories, Alicia had been excited for a change of scenery. Taking what may be necessary, as her likely role as 'moral' and regular support for an expedition of this kind of undertaking.

Granted...being whom she was, her method of traveling took time and she had gotten lost twice on the way there. It had been some time, since she had traveled anywhere beyond Redania. Luckily Snowberry was smarter than her in some ways, as she and her mule managed to discover the stone 'boot' in the distance and soon enough approach the location.

"Hello there, are you all also part of the Foltest Expedition?" she asked, rather directly and openly. Considering, the last two times she asked - she got a weird look or told to 'go ride off a cliff'.

Black Witch

Archetype: Mystical

Name: Morgana Pendragon / Morgan Persington
Alias: Many-Faced Witch, Black Witch, Sorceress Supreme of the Arcane Winds
Age: 25 (~2500+)

Powers: Morgan is a master wizard and magician - having control over the four elements (air, water, earth, fire) and mastery of the arcane arts. Ranging from illusion to alchemy. Due to her age, she has had a lifetime of learning to master many magical arts.

Weaknesses: Due to her age, Morgan has been forced to 'adopt' several faces behind artificial masks. As she is still human, she is unable to remember everything and thus requires time to 'remember' spells and tricks from ages past. Thus something that she may have learned during the Victorian Age may not be recalled immediately by her in the modern age. Thus, whenever she needs to utilize more 'complex' spells - she needs time to meditate and recall them or more time to cast them.

Alignment: Anti-Hero

Personality: Quirky, friendly, strange, inquisitive, mysterious.

Appearance:

Civilian

Black Witch

BRIEF Bio: Morgan Persington on the outside seems like the typical college girl, with an interest in old history and mythology. In secret, she is one of the many personalities of Morgana Pendragon - the legendary magi and witch of King Arthur. In truth, Morgana Pendragon had been a good friend and ally of King Arthur - during times where magic was slowly fading away and many saw the inevitable end of Camelot and the potential loss of all history and culture of that time.

Morgana had been chosen to carry on the 'Arcane Winds' - a magical essence, that contained the knowledge and wisdom of several countless wizards and druids of the time. In doing so, Morgana became ageless - although, as the times wore on, her duty became harder and harder as age wore out her mind and will - all the while her body remained untouched by the sands of time. Thus, Morgana Pendragon forged the first mask and would continue doing so for several centuries.

Being a wandering hermit in one life, settling down with a family in another, even hunted as a witch in some others - while helping to change history or help out 'heroes and kings' in another. Thus throughout the ages, she would wear different personalities - each one having a masked carved for them by the 'last' wearer. This has lead to the current persona, Morgan Persington to assume that the variety of masks she has 'collected' are her past lives and not herself per say. Though like many other personalities - she has remained the loyal and steadfast to those whom are her friends.

Potential Storylines: Discovering her alternative personas and trying to unravel the mystery and ultimate goal set out by Morgana Pendragon.

Notes: Dunno yet.

Cooky Mixer

Name: Lady Alicia Fairbright
Race: Human
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Redania
Profession: Lecturer for the Department of Chemistry of the Oxenfurt Academy

Appearance:

Personality: Alicia is the rare combination of being both inquisitive, smart and most importantly, lucky. The woman has a thousand questions for the world, even when her life is in danger - she has an attitude of being both afraid and later eager to study said creature, if she survived.

This has made her more both more approachable and super-talkative whenever she gets going on a subject or topic. Nevertheless, that doesn't diminish her honest desire to study and either help solve the ailments or mysteries that may plague people. Even if some of them, may not be able to be solved with a potion or ointment.

History: The scion and prodigy of House Fairbright, was in truth, growing up rather lonely and lacking any social contact with others. Both because, her mother had died in childbirth and her father was far too busy managing to finances and political necessities of their House. Her only brother was groomed to take over and thus, attention for her was limited or non-existent.

As Alicia mostly grew up reading books and old scrolls - a product of her great-grandfather whom had a large collection of tomes in their Estate. What interested her most was alchemy, the mixing of various plants, herbs and flowers and watching the colorful liquids that were formed. Granted, she was lucky and someways smart enough not to drink any - whenever she created something toxic or deadly.

Though, that didn't mean some of the pets and animals kept in the Fairbright Estate didn't accidentally get too close for her. One such situation ended with her father' horse, drinking a concoction she had made and farting for several weeks straight. After such an incident, her father had shipped her off to Oxenfurt Academy - to get her out, before she burned something down or injured someone important with her 'experiments'.

Granted, instead of changing Alicia embraced her new life in Oxenfurt even more eagerly. As the woman in question, had a very deep love for alchemy and especially the many reagents that made them. In a sense, she had several degrees in herbology and chemistry - choosing to become a lecturer in the Academy when she was old enough and 'safe' enough by the deans. Nevertheless, Alicia remained a free spirit - though many of things she used were either home-grown or contracted via specialized merchants - there was still a nagging feeling in her mind, that there may be other sources, other recipes that she hadn't discovered and other plants waiting for someone to discover them.

Eventually, she would be given the opportunity of a lifetime to go and explore the lands southward with a gang of other like-minded individuals.

Skills:

• Expert herbologist
• Expert alchemist
• Modest healer (mostly utilizing flora as a substitute and aid in healing, than actual understanding of human anatomy)
• Skilled explorer

Specialty: Alicia is a skilled alchemist, able to make potions, poultices, concoctions, poisons even bombs of various use and size.

Weapons: Being a woman of the mind and a noblewoman as well, Alicia doesn't have many weapons on her or much skill in them. Granted, like many others - she has been taught how to use a dagger to defend herself and has plenty of them on her for a variety of reasons. (Most of them for foraging)

Armor: Alicia doesn't wear much or any armor, preferring to wear her traveling uniform - which is tough and hard, yet not much against a bow or sword.

Misc:

• White mule; Snowberry
• Book of Herbs and Plants of the World
• Alchemist Kit (pestle/mortar, glass vials, magnifying glass, five different silver spoons)
• Herbology Kit (tweezers, harvesting knife, several dried herbs and plants, flint/steel)
• Repair Kit (needles/thread, scissors, leather, cloth)
• Backpack (waterskin, bedroll, hook, rod)

Edited my sheet and made her instead have remained in Oxenfurt until this opportunity had been given by our Northern Monarch.

<Snipped quote by NecroKnight>

Exactly as I said before. It's not that I need your character to be combat ready. It's that, I don't understand how she traveled alone when she isn't combat ready.

And how was she able to travel as a professor for a profession.

@POOHEAD189

I assume as a professor of alchemy, she would have to gather the things necessary for her experiments and tests herself. Since I doubt merchants would have in stock the variety of things she would need. Also, she is less a professor and more a lecturer - less bindings to hold her down.

As for travelling - would it suit her better, if she either traveled in groups or if perhaps she used her knowledge to mix up various 'warding concoctions' to keep people/monsters off her?

So what would you like for me to edit to my character?
