Peacock of Pride

"My my, a challenger? Oho, well do your best and try not to loose too badly. The Peacock will not let itself be outdone."

Human Name:
Savitri Singh

Title:
Peacock of Pride

Sex:
Female

Age:
24

Occupation:
Gladiator/Knight Errant

Personality:
As one might expect of the holder of the title of 'Pride', Sav is more than a little on the arrogant side. She is a tough one, spending her days training and bettering her own abilities and has no shortage of achievements to back up her claims as 'Pride' at even her relatively young age. She takes great pleasure in hearing about her own achievements, and plying her with compliments is the best way to get on her good side. She absolutely loves challenging herself and constantly strives to become stronger and better. Its safe to assume she'll never be satisfied with any amount of achievements until she's old and unable to move. Calm & level headed most of the time unless one decides to purposefully upset her.

That said, she's far from unbearably arrogant. While its true her self assured nature and smug, 'better than you' attitude is certainly grating on people, its far from her entire being. She holds herself to extremely high standards, both morally and physically. She only wants people to do their best as well, after all. They'll never be as good as her anyways, so she has nothing to worry about. Tends to speak in grandiose, flamboyant terms and movements.

In short, she's only concerned with one thing. Becoming stronger than everyone else in the world and will always take a challenge to prove said strength.

extremely sore loser

Appearance:
Standing at five foot six, Sav is far stronger than she appears with her dainty frame. With flawless skin, a petite and lithe body, she is befitting of the title of 'Pride' in body. Flawless perfection matched by none. With bright, eye-catching red hair and almost hypnotic green eyes, Sav is always the center of attention in the room. She can normally be seen wearing well made clothes as one would expect from a noble or wealthy individual.

Fighting Skills:
Typically, Sav fights with her rapier, supplementing her fighting skills with her Plumage Crown depending on the situations. Quick and light on her feet, she's pretty easily able to handle most fights without much of an issue.

Special Ability:
Plumage Crown:
An ability that manifests itself as an ability to manipulate a form of light unique to Pride. Flashy and befitting of a peacock, it can be used for small scale illusions, as well as more directly. The illusions in question are small in nature, and not too complex. Typically just creating a temporary 'image' of herself to confuse opponents. Offensively, projectiles of varying sizes and effectiveness can be utilized.

Backstory:
Not far South from the Kingdom of Reever, there exists a peninsula, jutting out into the middle of a large sea. The Acla peninsula, upon which the once former powerhouse empire Escain stands. Once upon a time, years ago before they were brutally beaten by invaders and lost a majority of its power, Escain was a powerful Empire that could have even rivaled even Reever in power. Years of bad leadership, tyrannical rulers obsessed with their own hubris and power eventually led the once noble and powerful empire almost to Ruin, with it barely retaining a third of the power it once held.

Escain is mostly known for its exports of fine wines & arts, and their generally hedonistic and free lifestyles, and their unrepentant displays of power and dominance.

This, is where Savitri was born and raised for the first twenty years of her life.

Born at the end of the last Emperors Reign to a declining noble family, Sav had a somewhat comfortable life, though her family couldn't always have the luxuries afforded to their status. Being stalwart supporters of the old Emperor certainly didn't help their positions when the power shift occurred and they faced constant harassment form both the current Empress and public. Still, it didn't get to her. After all, she knew from an early age she was destined for greatness. Whatever it was, she couldn't say, but she and everyone around her knew it. There was a certain charm about her, a certain magnetism that other people didn't have.

Even without an excessively large fortune to her name, despite the ridicule her family received, she decided that she would do easily: Carve her name into the histories and the stars, and leave her mark upon the world whether it be terrible or pure.

Needless to say, she didn't have many friends growing up because of her attitude. Smug, arrogant, was the top of her class in academics, and quickly became the gem of her house. She easily dismissed others, especially the lazy sorts for being simple minded fools with no desire to better themselves. For a child, she was incredibly well learned, almost as if she had a preternatural affinity for most tasks she set her mind too. Her powers began manifesting fairly early, along with vague notions of who and what she was, and didn't make any attempt at hiding it. Academics and simply life style however, was not something she was intent on sticking too. No, she had decided her first course of action and method of achieving fame, would be Escain's coliseum.

The Coliseum was where the strong knights gathered and engaged in show fighting, blood sports. A harsh environment where only the best of the best could come out on top, where anything went so long as you did not directly kill your opponent or injured them with said intent. How could she not be attracted to the potential accolades, despite the danger? The thrill of fame and fortune attracted many from all walks of life.

As soon as she was 14, she began training for that sole purpose. Sword, axe, polearm, Magic weaponry, but the one she ended up sticking with, was her rapier. Simple, light, and was easily a status symbol as much as she intended to be. Light on her feet and dedicate her abilities to evasion. After all, she couldn't get her hands so dirty.

When she was 16, she was officially old enough to enter the Coliseum. A tournament, geared specifically towards new comers to the arena. She had both high hopes for herself, and intended to win the matches...but victory was just out of her reach. She made it to the finals, but no further. She was soundly defeated within the first ten seconds of the match. Despite coming in second, she lost.

She wouldn't accept any other position than the best.

The anger, rage, sheer annoyance that someone did better than her, nearly drove her mad for the following year as she continued to participate in the arena matches, focusing all of her energy into both bettering her combat abilities. One year later, she was given a chance to have a rematch with the fellow that defeated her. This time, things were far different.

She was victorious this time, but she didn't let her opponent off so easily.

Of course not.

Insults to her had to be repaid.

She brutalized him during the match, soundly, assuredly beating him - going so far as to publicly humiliate him as she perceived he had her. First was his legs. Had to make him kneel, after all. Couldn't stand as tall as she. Next was his tongue. He'd never spew such insults or even think about it again...and lastly was one of his eyes, she skewered her rapier right through his cranium.

Needless to say, he was never fighting again.

After dealing the finishing blow, the crowd cheered, not having seen such bloodsport since the previous emperors time, and she of course, accepted the accolades. The vicious rumors of her being a cruel, merciless tyrant, are all false. She was just getting her dues, after all.

For the next three years, she worked her way up the Coliseum's ranks, sometimes fighting foes who were utterly disappointing, or foes that proved somewhat challenging. Those who used standard sword and shield, and those who fought with magic weaponry. It was all the same to her, they were just stepping stones on her path to greatness.

And finally, when she was just twenty years old, she was the youngest to achieve the highest honor in the Coliseum, the 'Aclan Rose', a medal and title bestowed only to those with either great military gains or other impressive feats, bestowed by the Empress herself.

After this, she left, becoming a traveling knight for the next years, though returning occasionally to make sure they remember who she is.

And so now she finds herself in Reever.

Alright, here we go. Apologies for the slight delay on that, hah. I'll fill in her backstory later, but I figured I'd go ahead and get her up since that's not needed right now. Do tell if there is anything needing to be changed~

@Salvia

Right, so, just for an update on my end I have pretty much everything done aside from the power (Having a bit of trouble deciding what I wanna do. Want to try and stay away from copying from the inspiration materials too much). That aside, having some internet problems on account of a storm and being absolutely drained after college, brain don't wanna work so well.

I should get it up tomorrow afternoon at the latest when I'm better rested, barring any interruptions.

Well that had gone about as well as she had expected it too.

Livia fell backwards, falling right onto her butt as Nartur gave her a hard push, taking a moment to gather herself. Well, Nartur certainly wasn't wrong. She was an outsider here. There was a very high chance most people wouldn't give her the time of day without being able to do something. However...Nartur was also sorely mistaken if she thought she was simply here to boss people around, riding on the authority her name carried and run off home.

"How quaint," Livia stood, holding the side of her face lightly where Nartur had grabbed her. She had seen scarier than this Orc in her life. "You asked me to 'show my grit' but you still won't make a deal? And here I thought you were the honorable sort. I have no desire to make enemies of you, but since you seem intent on making me out to be a villain, very well. I shall inform the mayor of your uncooperative nature at my earliest convenience." She didn't like getting her hands dirty, but if she had too, she would use every thing she could without a care.

"Good day, Nartur." With that, Livia turned to leave and headed to the Mayors house. Hopefully he could at least make this work. She didn't want to return to Maeda empty handed or ask for her help specifically. It would appear bad to do so - she refused to appear incompetent. She didn't want to rely on the Mayors help either, or her sisters. Hm. She would need help, but from who? Exiting the barracks, she headed back to town.

Underhaven, was it? An underground portion of the frontier town where the...'undesirables' gathered, and where Katherine currently was. She still needed to go there anyways to buy some snake venom that hopefully Katherine had already procured. Well, she might as well go check on the progress of that while she thought of how she was going to get the Resin from the orcs. First things first though, if the name was anything to go by she'd need a light source of some sort.

Quickly stopping by Barthens, she quickly purchased a simple paper lantern and an hours worth of Oil. Next, she headed right to the Tavern. After a brief discussion with a few patrons she quickly found the entrance to Underhaven. Exhaling loudly, she lit her lantern and descended. Oh boy, it really was dark down there wasn't it? Hm, If Katherine was still down here and she could find her, this would become far easier. Either way, best to find someone to speak to down here that hopefully wouldn't have muscles thicker than their brain.

The first battle went very well, going off without a hitch. Ritz got a bit of battle experience too, though couldn't manage to finish off treeko like she had hoped. Lure finished the job begrudgingly well. Then came the second battle. Lileep and Zeal traded attacks, blow for blow. Zeals power-up punch doing major work on the Grass/Rock type. The acid attacks however, were nothing to laugh at. Just three attacks and Zeal was already hurting. Thankfully though, he was able to pull off a victory just in time thanks to his attack boosts.

"Chim chim!~" Giving a tired, but satisfied cry of victory as his last power up punch nearly sent the Lileep flying over the ledge of the stairs.

"Atta boy, Zeal!" Claire grinned excitedly. "Ya did good!" He leveled up, didn't he? Which meant - Right on cue, Zeal gave a powerful cry, bright light erupting from around the monkey pokemon as evolution took place. His limbs grew longer, muscles becoming more powerful as fire and bright light enveloped his body. His tail grew longer and more flexible, the iconic blue markings of his species appearing on his face. Claire was of course, thrilled.

"Wahahaha, that's my Zeal!" Claire ran over, scooping up the pokemon in her arms and giving him a brief hug. "Alright, I'm even more pumped up now! Lets finish these guys Zeal! Show 'em who's boss!"

With Lileep defeated and Zeal fully healed, it was time to finish up this second battle. Unfortunately, Zeal would have to wait to test his new evolution. With the new fighting type added to him, he'd be weak to Whimsicott's gust without really having a good powerful move of his own...come to think of it, all her pokemon were pretty weak to Flying types now. Oops. Still, best bet for Whimsicott. First Taunt to prevent Status moves, then Ember while avoiding gust to the best of his ability. If he fainted, switch to Ralia and use double team, followed by Confusion and teleport occasionally to avoid when needed.

If Zeal or Ralia was out when Lombre is sent out, switch to Ritz. Use Reflect then Light Screen, then Comet Punch until battle is won or he becomes injured. If so, switch out Del. Use String Shot to hinder Lombres movement, followed by hardening once to resist physical attacks. The Poison Sting until Victory.

Once the battle is over, heal pokemon and challenge the last guy.

Butler Ramsey:
Send out Ritz to start with, starting off with Reflect & Light Screen. Use Comet punch until severely injured, in which case swap out for Del. Use harden a few times, followed by poison sting until defeated.

For Leafeon, if Del is out use Poison sting until Lefeaon is defeated. If he becomes injured, swap to Lure and alternate Bug Bite & Gust.

Lastly, for Nuzleaf, immediately swap to Ralia. Use double team followed by repeated Disarming Voice uses until defeated. If she becomes injured/unable to battle, swap to Lure and use Bug Bite until defeated.

Hmm
Might possibly be interested in playing a sin.

Leaning towards Pride.

Could also do a Virtue since most seem interested in Sins so far...

Leaving behind the unnaturally still forest, Iva followed Nara towards their destination. The dense forest soon turned into hills, which then turned into a rugged mountain side. Then it was across a ravine, where the muted noise of a river flowed. Getting down was fortunately easier than getting up. The rocky plateaus offered relatively easy passage down, their terraces eventually even turning into smaller steps that had been cut into the formations, the walkway having been made for them. Overall, it was easy for Iva. Ah, she was glad she could levitate. She didn't even have to walk the entire time - and after following that old cart trail, they found their destination.

She was simultaneously glad, and disappointed with it.

Ancient, rotting buildings spread over a loose woodland greeted them. The old, molding structures were absolutely pitiful looking. The field they sat next too was large, but half of it was barren and dry. A structure that looked to be a storehouse - maybe...what were they called? Granary? It was toppled and overgrown with grass. The entire place looked abandoned, with the only source of life seemingly being two people who were tending the only fertile looking soil in the place. They looked so malnourished she wondered if they were zombies briefly.

A man with bandages approached, studying them with obvious wariness as they arrived. The guy looked absolutely tired. Like he always had to prepare and expect the worst, without a moments reprieve. Iva could sympathize with that feeling. Iva returned his critical gaze with a neutral expression of her own as he introduced himself as Kessig.

"...Nara...you do it. They seem friendly." Iva replied in her usual, somewhat slow neutral tone and expressionless features. She'd be terrible at negotiations anyways. Instead, she contended herself with watching idly. Maybe she could use this decrepit village somehow? With only two people living here, it would be...difficult to find many uses for it.
