@Zeroth

Vincent and Sherry being siblings is fine by me. Her success until her desertion probably shaped his 'The good finish last' worldview.

@Teyao

Sherry is a daughter of the Patriarch and one of the wives (but a different mother to Estelle)

Age: 19 [29] | Height: 5"7 | Voice: Shrill, with a piercing laugh

First Life

Sherry was spoiled from an early age. She was beautiful and she had innate natural talent when it came to fencing. She wasn't strong, but she was an acrobatic, dextrous genius when it came to swordplay. She was a fast learner and a good actress, picking up quickly the ability to pass herself off as the perfect little noble Lady. It was perhaps this upbringing that got her addicted to praise, and that caused her to began seeing herself as superior to all others by birth. She was rude. She was cruel. At first, her personal maids quit. Then they began needing medical attention for wounds inflicted by Sherry. Eventually they began to need counseling and therapy after leaving her service.

What brought about this twisted change was the slow realisation as her brothers and sisters caught up with her, that her position of alone being special was at risk. Her older half-sister, Estelle, was the pride of her little bubble. Sherry played nice on the surface but was incredibly jealous that her older sibling dare outshine her. Sherry paid for a hit to be placed on her dear sister's head. Though it didn't kill her, the effects were pleasing enough. Her acting skills were truly put to the test having to keep a beaming psychotic grin off her face every time she basked in the sight of the invalid cripple that was once talked about more positively than Sherry was.

Everyone knew Sherry was rotten to the core, but she always covered her tracks and remained civil in public. Her skills stagnated as she rested on her laurels but she was still no joke and was more than skilled enough to stand above others at the Academy. She left the academy at 21, having not awakened her Aura, and settled into an arranged marriage with a minor Duke. A distant relative of the Royal Family who was very far down the line of sucession but still, technically, in it.

When the war broke out, Sherry didn't go to the front lines. She stayed in the capital and oversaw strategy meetings. Things went from bad to worse and three years into the war, the Capital was attacked. Sherry was chosen to lead the defenmding army as a Kaides. It was her first time ever experiencing life or death combat. She broke down, and deserted. Without a leader, the army lost the battle for the capital. The royal family, including her fiance, were all killed.

When Sheery was eventully found and caught hiding in the forest, she resisted, killing several of her own family's knights before finally being arrested and locked up insider ther family's prison. Being surrounded by hardened criminals who were enemies of her family, her life was naturally made hell incarnate. One could say it was karma.

On the day the kingdom finally,truly fell to the Demon King, Sherry was dragged out of her cell by the demons, tortured, but kept alive just long enough to see her family fall before her eyes. The Demons took great amusement in Sherry being the last Kaides alive, if only for a few seconds.

Equipment

• Preferred Weapon: Interchangeably uses both a steel shortsword and a barbed whip in combat.

Abilities

• Physical Strength: 1st Rate
• Aura: 2nd Rate
• Magic: 0th Circle
• Skills (You don't add Experience to this directly. In a Sub-List, you may add 1 "special move" per Experience, OR upgrade an existing Skill per Experience, OR add a Spell corresponding to your Magic Circle. Reviewed case-by-case)
  
  • Skill/Spell Name (E.g, "Quick Step") - Skill/Spell Description (E.g, "Footwork that produces a sudden burst of speed, covering up to 2 meters in a second.")
    • Sub-Sub-List for Upgrades. E.g, "Range increased to 4 meters."

Quick question; do we start with no skills but with one of our 4 points being able to give us one, or do we start with a skill anyway?

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

I'll finish my CS today. Think I actually will have her be responsible for the attempt on Estelle. Maybe even personally.

As for creating NPCs, how does that work?

@OwO

Returned Sherry is the extreme is the other direction now lol. A whole year of being hazed in prison ending in Demon torture. She would start crying.

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

@Zeroth

I might still go for her having ordered the assassination. Still thinking about it.

And I want it an extreme example of 'wasted potential' when it comes to her sworsdmanship

Less 'Fantastic at elementary math in elementary but struggled with algebra in high school'

More 'She was doing algebra flawlessly in elementary but stuggled with *second year* algebra in third year of high school because she never studied'

Equipment

(You can give yourself something nice for the scenes before you die if you'd like, lol. Different materials conduct Aura/Mana to greater degrees.
Aura-user Equip: Iron Weapon > Steel > Mythril > ???
Magic-user Equip: Bone Wand/Staff/Deco > Gold Deco > Wooden Wand/Staff > ???
Remove this blurb.)

• Preferred Weapon Type/Magic Focus/Important Tool
• Other armor, accessories, etc to be added--you won't have it when you Regress.

Abilities

You have 4 Experience to spend here, which would've been gained over the course of your First Life. Ranks are 3rd Rate > 2nd > 1st > Expert > Master; for Magic it's 0th - 3rd Circle.

• Physical Strength: 3rd Rate (Represents pure athleticism. Speed, muscle, endurance, etc.)
• Aura: 3rd Rate (Represents the sheer amount of Aura you have or how efficient you've become. You can raise this even if you never Awakened it at a later age in your first life.)
• Magic: 0th Circle (Because Magic would be harder to learn, your Experiences won't take you as far. However, for each Circle beyond 0th, you may add 1 Spell to your Skill list that matches the Circle's power. You may customize as you like, I'll review it case-by-case.)
• Skills (You don't add Experience to this directly. In a Sub-List, you may add 1 "special move" per Experience, OR upgrade an existing Skill per Experience, OR add a Spell corresponding to your Magic Circle. Reviewed case-by-case)
  
  • Skill/Spell Name (E.g, "Quick Step") - Skill/Spell Description (E.g, "Footwork that produces a sudden burst of speed, covering up to 2 meters in a second.")
    • Sub-Sub-List for Upgrades. E.g, "Range increased to 4 meters."

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

I might need to make a timeline of everything that's been talked about so far in order to guage how old my character should be and what their misdeeds were. Let me know if there's anything missing.

993 - Attempt on Rune Alchemist's character's life
999 - Estelle was poisoned and betrayed here.
1007 - The time we all return to. Want my character to be on the younger side, so she's maybe 18 here.
1012 - War start
1015 - Capital fell. Currently thinking that my character was leading a force here, and deserted in fear. Takes a lot of blame for the loss and is arrested.
1017 - Everyone dies. The prison is raided and my character is slowly tortured to death

Return of a Failed Generation: A Time Regression Power Fantasy

My idea is outright cruel rapier-using Villainess who was actually stripped of everything and arrested a few months before the country got invaded. The Demons let all the prisoners out to cause more chaos but she refused to join them and was publically executed for it. She might have been responsible for some of the bad things that happened to other characters.
