Hmm, haven't interacted with anyone properly yet.
Silfern Valenthorn

"Lady Radistirin?" She blinked, her concentration fading as the object of her focus became obscured by the intimidating knight.

Silfern lowered her sword at the immortal's behest, but waited for her Captain's word before sheathing her sword completely.

With the tension finally lifted, Silfern returned to her usual easy-going self as she followed after the captain, her signature slight-smile re-emerging on her face before once again disappearing as they finally saw what they were looking for.

It was a scene of brutality. Judging by their wounds and the way they were bound painted a picture of a ruthless mass-execution. Remembering the wounded messenger that prompted this expedition in the first place, Silfern knelt down near one of the corpses.

"I wonder..." She hummed to herself thoughtfully.
@VitaVitaAR
Okay edited it now. I've thought about letting her make the first step but I wanted in on the action :3
@VitaVitaAR
So Alette isn't an elf? and wasn't the one Umbra attacked?

So let me get this straight:

Iron Rose Knights step in to the fort just to see Alette stab the last of the "Garrison soldiers" (Probably just a disguised enemy soldier or something) then Fannily tried to talk then Umbra attacked, Alette dodged, a Giant showed up to protect Alette, Gilian attacked said Giant then got falcon kicked by an elf(Alrial I presume?). Seeing the situation plummet into hostilities, Fannily tried to order the Knights to charge but was attacked mid-sentence by Alette... then Umbra attacked the elf... ohhh this is where I got confused.

So only Silfern and Klaus rushed to the Captain's aid... well... time to edit that post.

(I didn't make a mistake, did I?)
@VitaVitaAR
Crap! So uh... the giant is still fighting the other knights with the elf?

Who's the crimson spear wielder?

I am clearly confused.
Silfern Valenthorn

Nodding in affirmative to Fannily, Silfern took position on the little captain's left flank. She kept a wary eye at the crimson spear-bearer as the apparent mercenary became increasingly serious. Silfern tightened the grip on her sword as she spread her feet apart for ease of movement. The duelist took a deep breath, her mind entering a state of extreme focus. Her eyes locking firmly on Alette as her senses began to attune solely on the spear-bearer, noting every twitch, every shift in the woman's stance, soaking up every information she can get to read and predict her movements as everything except her opponent and anything between them faded in the background. This was a dangerous gamble that would render her vulnerable to outside attacks, but something told her that she'd pay for it if she didn't commit her all against this woman.

"While I realize that this is all just a misunderstanding, I will not let you hurt our Captain."

Silfern declared calmly, her now widened eyes zeroing steadily on Alette's with a penetrating gaze.

Then, without another word, the Knight sprang into action, and in an almost inhuman burst of speed, stepped in range of the woman with one great lunge and executing a downwards diagonal slash before quickly jumping back, her sword ready to parry.

The two groups seemed destined to clash as the more hot-headed Knights of the order eagerly commenced hostilities without taking heed of their commanding officer, throwing the much preferable option of a peaceful information-exchange straight out of the window.

"Oh boy..."

Silfern muttered in dismay as the battle ensued. She briefly contemplated her next course of action before seeing their young captain under attack by the same crimson-spear armed woman they were just talking to. In a heartbeat, Silfern was already down on the ground, sword drawn, rushing to the Captain's aid.

"Need a hand, Captain?"

She half-glanced towards her commander as she raised her sword in a guard towards the spear-bearer, a calm, gentle smile on her face despite their situation. Truth be told, she had yet to meet this new Captain despite being in the order for more than three years running. This mission being their first sortie together.
@VitaVitaAR
Dang, I thought there would be more.
Anyway, any advice on how I can join in on the fun?
Should I read the whole IC first? (Currently in Page 3) Or should I just go ahead and jump in to the story?
If your answer is the latter then can I get a bit of a quick summary?
Question: Is Fannily the sole Captain of the Iron Rose Knights?
Name:
Silfern Valenthorn

Age:
20

Gender:
Female

Race:
Human

Appearance:

Silfern stands at 5'5 feet, sporting shoulder-length black raven hair and pinkish purple eyes. A small head adorned by childish features sits atop her petite frame.


Personality:
Silfern is easy-going almost to a fault. She has a gentle nature and kind to most people she meets outside the battlefield. But when she gets to work, she does it diligently. In battle, she prioritizes the lives of her fellow knights over the mission (if said mission does not hold the lives of innocents in jeopardy). Few things can break her aura of serene calmness but on the very rare occasion something does...

Brief Backstory:
Silfern's family is an odd little bunch. Her father, a Count, wanted a son so badly he began to raise Silfern as a boy when they couldn't get another child. Silfern's mother was naturally against this and did her best to put a stop to her husband's shenanigans while trying to teach her daughter proper manners befitting of a proper lady. But Count Valenthorn was a persistent man, even if he couldn't directly go against his beloved lady's wishes, he would secretly train his "son" in the ways of a gentleman, grooming "him" to become an honorable Knight of Chivalry that would follow in his footsteps.

In the end, Silfern became her own person, retaining some of values from both the paths her parents tried to force in her. She had both the grace of a lady and the chivalry spirit of a gentleman. She kept flower arranging as a hobby as she went on and became a Chivalric Knight as his father wished... just not in the same Order he was in, much to his dismay.

Equipment:

Enchanted Light Plate Armor set (Only covers the vital areas): A light-plated armor made of magically hardened materials designed for nimble movement.

Siege Crossbow: A powerful heavy crossbow with a crank-operated reloader. Silfern only uses this in Sieges or in times she thinks she might need it.

Mithril Longsword: A sturdy light-weight blade, forged especially for Silfern's use.

Daggers: Multi-purpose weapons for combat, survival and other miscellaneous things

Plate armor set, Heater shield and Steel Lance: When fighting in an open battlefield, Silfern can fight as a heavily armored mounted Knight, although not as well as on foot.

Skills:

Duelist:
Despite being a woman of honor and chivalry, when it comes to combat, Silfern fights to win through any means necessary. Her main fighting style is made unique and extremely unpredictable when supplemented with her telekinesis. Whereas she uses it to deflect, parry, swing and strike with her sword in ways nobody would expect.

Horse Riding:
Silfern’s equestrian skills are above average at best, that doesn’t mean she can’t get creative though.

Telekinesis
An unpopular novice spell made deadly in the hands of Silfern. elekinesis is a spell that lets the user “move” things around with their will. Although even at full power, It's still barely powerful enough to lift Silfern's sword.

Wind Spells

Chilly Breeze: Creates a comforting cold breeze
Wind Blast: Funnels the wind into a concentrated, one-directional shockwave that can blow even grown men away.
Air Bubble: Can be conjured on allies to allow them to breathe underwater, and on enemies to silence them by creating a membrane of vacuum around a certain area to prevent sound from travelling afar... for those covert missions that need some measure of discretion.
Razor Wind: Fires a small barrage if wind blades that can slice up a man apart with apparent ease. (Long Casting Time, And Heavy Mana Depletion)

Note:
Has a natural affinity to cats, especially kittens.
Is fond of Dwarves in general.
