Alias/Nickname: Lady of the Veil

Appearance:

Facial features

Armor and physique, 6 foot, 2 inches tall

Age: 27

Race: Chaos Scared Human

Personality:

Lux can be described as a very sweet and gentle woman. Protective of her friends and of those who are less off, she comes across as a selfless giver, eager to please the world and change it for the better. At times she can become the life of a party, merry and jolly for her comrades and those who call her, her friend, and always makes sure to keep everyone entertained. Though while Lux is kind, thoughtful and happy, she can appear Bitter, spiteful and enraged when provoked too far, and finds herself unable to keep a clear head during these moments, she isn't perfect, and even she has her weaknesses.

Biography/history:

"So... You wish to know about the Lady of the Veil?" Spoke a white cloaked woman, her skin freckled yet void of impurities, her fingernails sharp and strong, clawed almost, like a demons. Her voice was strong, mature and deep. You and the cloaked female sat in a garden, lonesome and devoid of people, as the woman patted a wood and monochrome bench beside herself for you to sit, whether you sit or not, was up to you...

Lady of the Veil's history

"I suppose I should start from the beginning then? Atleast, from what information tells us... The lady of the veil's name is Lux Shizuku, born into the middle class, granted a life time of opportunities. The world was her oyster, and could have spent the rest of her life getting fat off the land available... But she was different. The lass, even as she was a young girl, strove for peace. She was born between two people, a human male, an alchemist and a scholar by the name of Lisandar, intelligent, smart, but mysterious, and a woman, a cambrion, a cambrion born between a demon and a cambrion herself, which made Lux a Chaos Scared. Her mother was named Merillis, confident, with a strong will and a different attitude than most demons, infact it was her personality that transfered to lux, her desire to protect, was thanks to her mother.

Lux was born as the little sister of two years younger between two twins, Akira and Unaxis, both of which were polar opposites. While Akira was much like lux and their mother, Merillis, desiring to put criminals and putrid people to justice, Unaxis was more... corrupted, petty and easily manipulated, and as such, became more demonic as many would picture them. He loves to manipulate, control and dominate, seeing himself in the most narcissistic light one would ever imagine.

Lux as a child, was helped to train under the sword from her mother as well, as she gained her mothers sword and reflex skills, she put them to good use and from an early age trained her. Akira was a man who talked as his weapon, never needing a blade, while Unaxis went off to train by himself, spiteful for not being trained like lux was, even as lux trained, offering to teach Unaxis, his stubborn pride made him walk away, too snobbish to let a young girl teach him.

Over the course of her training, Lux acted like a rather adorable pint sized knight, while she wasn't slaying monsters or killing people, she used her skills to protect the lower class from their higher class tyrants, and time and time again assisted those less fortunate than herself, while even giving them coin to live on, not being able to stand oppression or classism.

The more she trained, and the older she grew, her talents would only increase. As she got older, she was instructed in the powers of magic as the next stage of her training, and was taught much of what she knew through it, her brother Akira, studied to become a politician, so while she could influence the world for the better with her blade, he could do it with his tongue, while her other brother Unaxis, did what he desired of his own accord, without their knowledge... knowledge that would soon bring ruin to the family.

At the age of 19 years of age, Lux had finished all the training that her mother could have given her, which was convenient and lucky for her... and yet, unlucky at the exact same time. Lux had taken a shop as a mercenary for hire, and made herself busy protecting those who sorely needed protection, and was unaware of the events of her home city in the process. On her return from an assignment, coin in her hands, she found her city swarmed with screams, upon entering, the streets were litered with corpses, blood soaked into the dirt, as did the corpses of men, women and children.

To her horror, the civilians of the city were ravaging eachother, like psychopaths, they consumed eachother fleshy bit by fleshy scrap, like zombies, all the while screaming in agony which cannot be fully described, and she slashed down all who opposed her. With nobody to save, her only choice was to head home, to break the door open and to find... her mother, stripped of flesh and completely skewered with blades, the only thing left, being a long white veil, a special memento of hers, tied to her neck.

Removing it slowly, she rested her mothers body down, not even given the chance to give her a proper burial as the city practically tried to eat her alive like some form of horror come alive. Even with her skills, escaping for her dear life, she was lucky to keep her skin intact, and was able to flee the city, with her mothers veil in her hands, perhaps it was the veil that saved her... which she would find to be true, as a mist coated her vision when she had took it.

In the space of a day, she was all alone. She had no idea where her father or brothers had gone, like they had vanished into thin air. But she knew unaxis couldn't have murdered anyone, he was smug, but he wasn't insane... He was mainpulative and smart, this wasn't his doing... And so, the Lady adorned the veil, and headed off alone... becoming what one could consider a hero.

What heroic deeds could she have done? If you can call them heroic, she saved civilisations, free'd communities from tyranical rule, slayed mighty beasts, put her life on the line for mere strangers, and so forth... A hero of the selfless calibur, and a lady who shrouded herself in the veil, strengthening herself to protect the people, and perhaps one day, find out what happened... That's when she came upon Angel's Landing, to hopefully make a difference to the lives of many...

The cloaked lady stood up from the bench and removed her white elegant cloak, to reveal the face of lux, the veil upon her head. She sighed contently, and gave a slight nod to you, before her body became almost phantasmal, a thick mist coating the garden, as she vanished from sight, leaving you to your thoughts...

Reason for recruitment: Even though anyone in her predicament would go the cliche path for revenge, Lux doesn't care for revenge or vengeance when she joined. In all honesty, she had joined just so she could stop what happened to her from happening to other people, to keep them safe and secure, and to give up her own life protecting those who can't protect themselves, and asks nothing in return from the ones she saves.

Still, thoughts of getting her revenge do surface from time to time, but she tries to bury those feelings away, and simply desires to put an end to terrible monsters for other people, not herself, as that would be selfish.

Strength of Will: Greater

Magic:

Channeled magic

illusion magic:

Veil: Swiping a long transparent veil from her pocket, she covers her head, from which a hazy mist pours, not turning her invisible, but making her incredibly hard to see through the mist, as her body appears phantom like. The moment she THINKS about attacking, she appears complete again. This effect can last several minutes, and gives her a great chance to ambush enemies, and is known well for this technique, granting her, her title and nickname, using her will to think passively until she is right up to her foe, to gain an upperhand. Cannot be used over and over or abused (( to be fair, obviously ))

Force Magic:

Zephyr bolt - Channeling magic through her high frequency electro longsword, Lux can swipe her sword forward to send razor sharp wind slashes toward her foes which are coated in the electricity of her HF blade, allowing her to slice her opponents with the sharp wind and deal lightning bolt damage simultaneously. The electricity can travel to three targets in close proximity, to zap and either stun or deal damage.

Abjuration magic:

Will Shield - Plasma steel round shield: Channeling her Abjuration magic through her shield, Lux is able to conjure a transparent magic shield in the shape of a circular wall, which allows her allies to see through, but which her enemies cannot. Depending on how big the wall shield she conjures is, it will drain her of her ability to use magic either slowly or quickly, but is very durable, but will eventually shatter after enough hits.

Wild magic

Abjuration Magic:

Curse Siphon: Channeling the energy around her, Lux can phase her open hand into an ally like a ghost, and physically extract poison or exorcise a spirit possessing someone, though that would take hours to accomplish and would drain her of her magic very quickly, this type of magic is used to help remove poisonous liquids from the body, which could take seconds or many minutes to accomplish, depending on the severity.

Innocence touch: By placing the palm of her hand on her ally, and by expelling her magic outward, Lux can heal an ally who has been harmed by damage. If she expels more of her magic out, she can heal them faster, at the cost of more magic, or place both hands on her ally to become defenseless, but will allow her to speed up the healing process.

conjuration magic:

Energy blades: Concentrating her will, Lux can summon three energy/plasma glowing longsword blades around her, to act as extra weapons. Upon contact with an enemy, they explode for magic damage, and are easily shatterable by enemies, taking one strike to take down, the upside is that these cost little energy to summon, and can be used to add pressure when combatting an opponent.

force magic:

Frigid Fetter: Aiming her fingertip out, Lux can fire a small orb like iceball from within and attach it to her opponents limbs. If she manages to attach a couple of hese small orb like iceballs to limbs, the ice changes and immediately becomes a pair of shackles to chain the opponent down, slow them, or keep them from attacking, which may last for several seconds, or minutes, depending on the strength of the opponent.

Scarlet Serenade: Humming into herself, and closing her eyes, Lux casts from her body a firey cylone before her, which possesses a low amount of tracking, its main power is its speed, which when it connects to the opponent, burns them alive, lifts them up and explodes, to let the fall deal the rest of the damage she needs to hurt her foes.

God relations: Lady of Air - Finding Lux's wild magic of her manipulation with air impressive with her manipulation of air to control fire, the Lady of Air decided to bestow Lux with some of her magic to help her improve.

Tech:

High-frequency longsword: A steel bladed longsword infused with magic and crafted with technological metals which, on the press of a button, become coated in a powerful electric aura to hurt or stun opponents. The longer she keeps the electricity on, the longer the battery drains, and can last up to 4 hours until it needs to be charged a further 4 hours to use the electricity buff again. Aside from that, it is a durable and fairly sharp blade.

Plasma round shield: An infused round shield which is made of the same material as her sword, this shield however is made of mostly energy/plasma, which is held together by a metalic ring around it. The round shield isn't small but not large either, giving a balance between weight and protection. She is able to throw the shield outward, and with a strong magnetic connection to her wrist, is able to call it back, allowing her to use it like a boomerang.

Data comp: Attached to her arm is a holographic computer allowing her to access information about the climate, the wildlife, and keep her up to date on her ally's vital signitures. She can also use this to check information on the information she has stored or others have helped to store on the system

Possessions/items/property:

A playback video holodisc which continuously plays moments of Lux's childhood with her family.

Book of puns - Someone has to keep them!

Thought recorder - A small journal which she taps on to replay the thoughts that she recorded previously, simply by thinking a date.

Skills:

Swordplay: I think it's pretty understandable by now, Lux is a close up combatant, keeping her sword arm strong, she can deal quick and dexterious strikes with her blade.

Reaction: Using her shield, one has to be quick on their toes, as is Lux, able to use her split second thinking to effectively block strikes thrown at her by opponents. Of course, with split second thinking, that doesn't mean she is a auto-dodge queen, no, she can easily be assaulted if under pressure, if teamed up on, or ambushed, her reaction times just give her a better chance of avoiding damage if possible.

Trustworthy: This plays on her ability to get others to trust her, and is able to persuade individuals to get on her side, to help fight for whats right or to help her in whatever mission she has at the time. It takes a lot to trust someone, for lux, it's not as hard to trust her, having just the right... aura, if you understand?

Well, I don't know how important it is to the GM but they didn't seem overly concerned with getting the perfect pictures.

@The_written_John I can help you find one if you have any problems with images, it shouldn't require changing your character.

@The Omnipotent Sphere

DUNGEON CRAWL!!! Super Fun Fantasy Dungeon Crawling I Guess

Louis gave a light chuckle at the little girl who completely cut through his words like a knife through butter. Oh this little one surely was smart to see through his deceitful desires to name the group himself. Such a smart child! Though Louis thought to himself that hopefully the child wasn't too smart for her own good. People like that tend to get killed. And a child being murdered? That would be... problematic? No, that's not the word he was looking for. He did ponder to himself, about whether the child really was a child, perhaps a beast in sheeps clothing? He decided not to call attention to it, taking the paper, he signed himself up for the dungoneering crew and handed the parchment back to the demon.

"Since it seems everything is in favour for Whispered Ventures, I suppose I shall vote for that one as well, why bother arguing about it, it seems like it won't grant us anything. Still, I do think my idea was much more grand and superb, but of course, if we're going to be a team, the majority shall win, isn't that how these things always work with subhumans and lesser beings? Oh the joys of living in such times."

The Timeoid refused the chemical killer that the demon shared, finding the substance positively disgusting, he instead decided to bring up another topic.

"Well, now that our team name has been clearly decided, it's about time we all got to introducing ourselves, I figure that is something that should be mandatory in these situations. We'll go from most important to least important. First being me, since I see no other timeoids in the vicinity and lastly should be... Alise? Alice was it? Yes, the lesser subhuman who has the magicka capacity of a earthworm. At first I thought she was hiding her strength, but then I was surprised to find she is really that w- Oh sorry, i'm rambling, mhmhm~!

You may call me Louis, or "Louie". I'm a timeoid, who shall soon become a master of Astral magic, and... Oh why bother explaining, it's not like that's important! What is important is that I can crush foes with merely a few thoughts! So the skills I bring will definitely be of use to us all! using the cosmos and time itself as my weapon... You will be impressed, of that I am sure~"

DUNGEON CRAWL!!! Super Fun Fantasy Dungeon Crawling I Guess

@The_written_JohnYou didn't have to do that much, but uh... alright. Accepted.

@Descartes

@The_written_JohnYour character is fine as it is right now.

@Descartes

Uhm... Two different reactions but ... Fine i guess?

DUNGEON CRAWL!!! Super Fun Fantasy Dungeon Crawling I Guess

@The_written_JohnIt's cool man. You don't have to play a character you don't want to.

@Descartes

Eh? I never said i didnt want to rp my character... So could you please answer my question?

DUNGEON CRAWL!!! Super Fun Fantasy Dungeon Crawling I Guess

"Oh dear, it seems it hasn't even been 5 minutes and our soon to be dungeoneering group has already reduced themselves to irrelevant petty squabbles. This doesn't seem like it bodes well. If it were up to me, I'd place my vote on naming our group with a naming convention that not only promotes strength, but elegance, knowledge and perfection..."

The door opened up as the timeoid walked into the room with a pleasant smile laid bare on his face. Approaching his new group, he swept a hand across his hair, the shine reflecting into his odd, mystical eyes. Standing firmly beside the one known as Ozend. Louis smirked, and shook his head, displeased with all the displeasantry so far, and decided to come up with a team name of his own.

"Might I recommend we name ourselves... The Yliastrum...? We are basis for all foundation, by our hand we shall sketch the history of the future, from us, all living things will be created, our actions shape our landscapes, our minds change the perceptions of the world. From us, contains everything, raw, unimaginable power that when released will surely give birth to something... Most excellent."

Louis gazed around himself, confident in his choice. It sounded excellent to him, though he didn't know exactly just how well the others would react to his choice of name. Louis approached the demon and held his hand out politely to get done with the paperwork.

"My apologies for being late. Getting here took quite some distance. That and I had some vital preparations to complete, I do hope you can forgive me~"

DUNGEON CRAWL!!! Super Fun Fantasy Dungeon Crawling I Guess

Name: Louis Osullivan Unicante Innocenti Etherington, shortened as a nickname to "Louie."

Gender: Male

Race: Timeoid - white Human like individuals whom possess the ability to use chrono magic to alter the space and manipulate the time around themselves and others. They look, no matter how old they become, fairly youthful, but like all races will die of old age, their lifespans are much longer than humans. Their eyes sparkle with stars and meteor like designs representing the spacial cosmos and possess light blue innards and silver blood. THeir bodies are usually slim and tall, representing their elegance.

Character Concept: Astral mage, the one who slows down the speed of his enemies, and speeds up his allies. Can bend the cosmos to summon its monstrauities in the form of stars and astroids to lay waste to monsters.

Appearance:

Louis stands at a height of 6 foot 1 inch tall, supporting a thin yet athletic build with a skin pigment being that of a slightly pale normal Caucasian skinned male, He supports a set of bright amber eyes, with a few tiny golden stars dotting the sclera, with his pupils in the shape of a comet shooting directly vertically downward, a trait of his magic. He supports a set of messy short blond tangled hair, dyed white at the front.

He wears a longsleeve thin silver dyed mithril armor plated, golden trimmed tail coat, mid-riff revealing semi-open battlemages jacket, held together at the collarbone by a golden crescent moon amulet which connects one part of the jacket to the other much like a top button. The jacket's sharp mithril collar is raised, surrounding his neck and protecting it. The jackets shoulders also possess light weight smooth golden pauldrons, with the symbols of a clocks hands on either shoulder, and functions like that of an actual clock. He wears a crimson red patchworked shirt under his jacket.

He wears a silk golden ribbon belt around his waist, and a set of comfortable white leggings with each leg intriguingly engraved with golden symbols vertically downward from each leg, detailing that they are property of an Astral Mage. He possesses a single white, golden trimmed fauld which covers his lower right hand side, engraved with more symbols. Finally he possesses a pair of sharp toed white and golden trimmed shoes, with crimson red soles, elegant in their design.

Equipment:

Chronoboros: Chronoboros is a long, slender, yet sharp gold and silver pigmented longsword with a sickle shaped hilt which can disconnect to reveal itself as a snakesword, several golden incredibly durable links are coupling'd to each section of the 12 section longsword, allowing the user to use this longsword in its traditional fashion or manipulate it in the form of a bladed whip for slicing far off opponents, combining his timeoid Astral Magic with his attacks, he can use it to stab or slash his opponents and slow them down with time magic. The hilt of the blade can also disconnect into a small yet sharp self defense sickle for emergency purposes named Cronus.

Weeks worth of rations

A diary, ink and quill

Rope and hook

Coin - enough for a few nights at an inn or some extra food provisions.

Collection of throwing knives: 20 - for throwing at enemies.

Personality:

Louis is a perky, optimistic, happy go lucky intellectual. As a member of the timeoids, Louis is narcissistic despite his incredibly bubbly and cheerful attitude even when he asserts himself as better than all things due to his ability to mess with time. Aside from this, Louis can be selfless and rather selfish at times depending on the scenario, and wont throw himself into deaths way if it doesn't assist the Timeoids. Despite being narcissistic, he never underestimates his opponents and fights as if he means to kill at all times, to ensure his survival, fearing death, he desires to escape it in anyway possible.

Goals: To break the shackles of time that enslaves the world, intends on helping the timoids succeed in becoming the supreme overlords over time so that they may become the superior race of the world, because they fear death, if they could freeze the process of degradation, they could live forever. Thus they feverishly study their unique magic - Astral magic to hopefully one day accomplish this.

Beliefs:

Him and his race are strong believers of the old gods but despise and envy them, for having the ability to live forever.
Narcissistic in that he and his race believe they are the superior race of the world, and desire to show this through their actions.
See's no value in betrayal unless it will grant him his goal
Cats are lying knaves. 9 lives!? You lie!

Backstory:

Timeoids. That is the true name of us so called "Time Wizards" or less insulting "Astral Mages". The name is Louis, it's a pleasure to meet you! Lets get straight to my history, yeah? You see, i come from a rather secluded place called the Aeternitas, the Aeternitas could be described as a single town which functions as self sustainable living space, filled with plants, water, wildlife and many other necessities for living, to keep dangers and unwanted guests out however, the town and much of its land is hidden away, blocked out of sight and out of mind with a spacial void barrier, keeping anyone we don't want to associate with out of our reach and us out of theirs, when we need other mages to keep our town running, we use our own! Rewinding the passage of time on a plant, to bring it to its prime once more. Fascinating magicks.

The town of Aeternitas can be described as a mix between glistening white and golden marble and silver, golden gears, all functioning to the passage of time, to allow us to further enhance our Timeoid abilities. We primarily focus on the use of Timeoid magicks, to rip ourselves from the shackles which time binds us with, as Timeoids, our sworn goal, our ultimate desire, is to free ourselves from the tyranny of time, and dictate it to our own desires, to enslave what enslaved us, and shape the cosmos to our individual pleasures! It sounds nefarious, but we really just want a world where death is nullified! Imagine a world where sorrow, fear and anguish were forgotten? We could reshape and help our world recover, truly a most honorable goal!

I was born very luckily between the strongest of Timeoids, to enhance my capabilities as a wielder of the Cosmos, and it just so happened to work! I was and still am considered a prodigy, learning and removing the shackles which control me piece by piece with little ease, and have made strides as a astral mage to further break my binds, though I am a long ways away from taking control of time, soon I desire to control its entirety completely.

I grew up loved by everyone, I gained vasts amount of knowledge on the outside world from many of our libraries, as timeoids, documenting time and the history of our world is a number one priority, and with such vast pools of information, i got smarter and more intelligent, the love given to me by my inferiors and teachers nurtured my strength and confidence, and my optimism, everyone truly believes in me! If they do, perhaps i'll finally be the Timeoid who brings time to my knees! I can only hope!

If these dungeons shape and twist unnaturally, then its obvious something must be causing it. Perhaps these sungeons may lead me to furthering my astral abilities, and then perhaps i shall finally enslave the time that has bound me in its tyranical chains. I set off, to join this dungeoneering team, for my own goals, and for my race. The Timeoids will rebel against our masters!

Racial traits:

Astral Magic:

Louis is skilled and is a strong user of Astral magic. For many people not accustomed to the knowledge of Astral magic, it is the Manipulation of space and time. Astral mages come from a clan of specific makes known as the Timeoids, and is passed down through their clan only, thus, learning this magic can be exceptionally difficult.

Astral mages cannot control the time and space of the whole universe, nor can they jump back or forward in time, like regular people, they are bound to the shackles of the laws of time, but are skilled at bending these shackles for their own purposes, and seek to further break them to get stronger, Astral mages desire to enslave time to their will, and desire to conquer that which created and destroys them.

Spells which Louis knows from Astral magic are as follows:

Comet slices: the ability to conjure and throw 5 sword sized comet shards to pierce and damage enemies, these comet shards can also be used to coat and surround the user like a shield, but break if they are individually struck by an enemies attacks"

Nexus Vaccum: The ability to conjure up an airless, void like pocket, which can act as a bag of holding, keeping anything inside timeless from the lack of air.

Stars: Louis can summon magic golden spacial stars like throwing shurikans to pierce enemies from afar, they dont require much energy to conjure and can be fired in plentiful amounts to damage foes.

Comet blaster: Can conjure a car sized comet through a magical glyph to decimate foes. Requires a lot of focus.

Kneel!: Depending on how long he charges, Louis can slow down time within a small or large radius via casting out a white magic field over an area. Those who stand inside this area are slowed down conciderably but are returned to normal speed when the field dies out over time or when they leave the fields area.

Rally: Using his abilities, louis can cast a spell which can speed up his allies and himself, allowing them to move much faster and increase their agility, speed and reaction times. Great for gaining an advantage over a fast enemy,

Known skills:

Prodigy: knowledgable, Louis is an incredibly intelligent individual with a firm grasp on the power of magic, giving him an advantage when using mage like abilities.
Talker: With a smooth, sensational voice, Louis can try and be persuasive with his enemies.
Adept at swordplay - not a great swordsman but not terrible, training in the sword he can use his weapon to assist somewhat, mainly as a self defense tool.

Known Spells/powers:

The only magic that Louis knows outside Astral magic is a spell known as Mana Drain - A touch based technique that requires Louis to get a firm grip on his opponent to drain their mana from them which in turn helps to rejuvinate louis' magical energies to use more spells. Of course this means he must get up close with his opponents.
