But, I'm just asking a small blurb about her thoughts on her father?

[Kōtei]

Done re-editing my history... hope it's not as messy as the first one and i added a relationship with garm (fayrbrant)

[Crouching Bacon]

another question (damn, sorry for these unending barrages of questions T_T)

 

does the daughter of the tactician and the princess of light inherit the Light powers?

or is it only revealed at a certain age?

It's up to Liar...... But IMO it is not most likely that you will inherit unless some roundabout plot dictating that the empress of light died and your brother didn't inherit the power of light.

If you want it, you can have it. The capital of Empyria is Empyrean. Also, everyone is accepted, and I'll provide my opinion at a later time.

okay, i decided to let her brother have it. ^^

@Ocraniil

I love Tyr. He really is what I expected when people make their characters the children of the Seven Holy Knights. I have no complaints about it, and I am definitely interested in seeing how he would react to my plans. Accepted!

Didn't say anything earlier when I read it, but this was really unexpected. Thanks, Liar.

Spoiler

Name: Aera vi Empyria

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Parents: Lorcan the Tactician + Sera vi Empyria the Princess of Light

 

Appearance:

Spoiler

 

History:

 

As progeny of Empyria's rulers, both Aera and Lysander were destined for greatness– their father made sure of it. A barrage of neverending lessons were imposed upon the young sovereigns as soon as they learned how to read. History, politics, literature, art, etiquette, methods in the arcane, and of course, the art of war.

 

Aera, however, seemed quite certain to prove her father wrong. The royal scholars all had a horrid time teaching the young princess, as they were usually forced into a massive game of hide-and-seek on the castle grounds before the lesson could even begin. Even if they managed to find her, there were no guarantees that she would listen. Usually, her brother Lysander was the only one who knew of her favorite hiding spots; he only ratted out on her when he felt that she was slacking off too much for her own good. The two usually got along though, Aera being far too good-natured to hate her brother, despite his insistent shepherding.

 

Only the swordsman in charge of her training could count on her daily attendance. Her teacher, William Vauxof Bernard, was one of Lorcan's right hand men; the emperor felt that out of all the guards, William was the only one he could entrust his headache of a daughter to. In fact, she usually came early just to make her teacher smile; her girlish enthusiasm was contagious, and their lessons usually went overtime due to the sheer fun both William and Aera had learning form each other. Though young, the young sovereign was already a natural in the art of swordsmanship– to her, the blade felt like a part of her arm, inseparable and innate.

 

Eventually, when her father learned of this, he made an ultimatum: Aera would only be worthy to hold the sword if she managed to get the highest rank in the civil examinations. Taking the exam at the age of 14, let alone acing it, was unheard of. Yet, Aera was determined to best her father at his little game.

 

After months of preparation, Aera eventually bested the examination. Her father, being true to his word, had a sword forged especially for her. It was called Lichtgestalt ("guiding light") - a symbol of her father's acknowledgment of her worth as both a ruler and a warrior, and his high hopes for her.

 

To Aera though, it is what it is: a really fancy sword. The young princess could care less about what it looked like, so long as she had something to hack things with. She took special care not to mention this to her father though, especially when he was in the mood to offer her lessons.

 

Her days in the castle passed quite peacefully, almost to the point of boredom. Whenever the opportuity arose, Aera often snuck out into the city to see how her subjects lived. Subterfuge usually ended in failure though, since everyone in the kingdom could recognize her stark blue eyes. The fact that Lysander occasionally tipped off the guards about her escapes probably made it more difficult than it should have been though; not that she knew anything about that. Like his sister, he was clever enough to create complex schemes that escaped the notice of most.

 

Now, at the age of 19, Aera is more than ready to see the world. After hearing the tales of the warriors retold countless times, she has decided that it was high time for her to make her own story. That, and it was getting hard to stay quiet about the accusations of her being far too sheltered to become a capable ruler.

 

Hungry for a chance to prove herself, she usually joins field missions despite her parents' concerns. Too young to fear death and too old for unquestioning obedience, Aera is unpredictable on the battlefield, notorious for disobeying orders. However, her elders can barely complain about the victories she brings about.

 

Specialty:

 

Exceptional Swordsmanship - Trained by only the best swordsman in the empire, her father, this is expected. Her mastery of the longsword is almost second to none... at least Aera likes to think so. Due to her familiarity with the Lichtgestalt, she is able to fight with her eyes closed, should the situation call for it; a combination of muscle memory and skill makes both the blade and her body nearly inseparable. Disarming Aera would be an exceptional display of swordsmanship; many poor souls have nearly lost limbs in their attempt to do so.

 

Skills:

• Agility - Though training in the martial arts has helped a lot in developing Aera's agility, her classes on dance were also fundamental in increasing it. Empyria would be shamed, having a princess that could not dance (or so her mother claims).
   
• Communication - Being part of the royal family involves building and maintaining relationships with other countries. It helps that Aera has a rather friendly disposition, and can usually talk things out before they devolve into fist fights.
   
• Intelligence - Being the scholar that he is, Lorcan would die rather than allow his daughter to grow up uneducated. Schooled by the best tutors of the land, Aera is rather bright for her age... though her intelligence is usually manifested in finding creative ways to get out of class without her father knowing.
   
• Medicine - Due to her native intelligence, Aera is able to utilize herbs to create medication and heal injuries as well as most common diseases, especially those that happen on the batlefield. Some have even advised her to become a healer instead of a soldier... not that she would have agreed.
   
• Animal Husbandry - Aera is quite fond of animals, especially dogs and horses.

 

Equipment & Inventory:

• Her version of the royal armor - It is lighter than the official version since she dislikes the extra weight. This comes at the cost of lessened defense, but allows for a greater range of movement.
• The Lichtgestalt
• Two small vials of healing waters
• A small vial of strong liquor (usually for the dying soldiers)
• small knife strapped to her inner thigh

Relationships: Under development, if anybody's interested~ Placeholders are put for the meantime

 

• Lysander vi Empyria - Aera's elder Brother, about five years her senior. The two have a rather close bond, as Lysander proves to be the kind of brother that most parents would want for their daughters. That is not to say that they never fight; it is just that Aera is far too easy-going to hold grudges, while Lysander is too wise to hate things without reason. Also, though she hates to admit it, his presence does make her feel safe whenever things get too dangerous.
   
• Tyr the Grey Wolf - Aera's first friend outside the castle. She ran into him on one of her escapades into the city; he was about to be captured by the local peacekeeping force due to his suspicious appearance. Ever the heroine, Aera manages to persuade the guards to let him go. The fact that he didn't recognize her at all amused Aera so much, that she abandoned her plans and decided to spend the day with him. After giving Tyr a tour around the city, the two became good friends.
   
• Garm Vauxof Bernard - Aera's childhood friend and son of Aera's teacher, William Vauxof Bernard. When he could, he joined in on lessons with Aera and occasionally challenged her. He shows natural talent with the sword; this earns Aera's respect. The two got along quite well; not a day went by that she doesn't visit him, even when she was supposed to be in class. Later, their individual duties began keeping them apart, Aera having to deal with matters of the state and Garm having to train as a guard. Their friendship is no longer as close as it was before, due to him realizing and taking to heart the vast difference in social standing.

 

oh, does anybody want a relationship with my character? XD

The character design is above and the staff is below,pardon the two photos

The Death's herald

Name: Iblis AJšasin
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Grandparent/Parent: Ashia of the Dawn's forest.

History: As a being floating in the abyss, Iblis doesn't have many memories of his birth or real parents. Just that Death had always been a kind mentor, he taught him the basics of necromancy, how to use it to subjugate beings less powerful than him in his infernal realm, but Death was also worried about his childhood, he knew he was the reaper not a rearer.So when Death came to know Ashia and the hardships in her life, he thought his sister, Fate, may have pointed him to her. She would be the perfect one for Iblis, young as he was, he could use the nurturing hands of a motherly presence, he also knew that her necromancy will also help Iblis adjust to his new surroundings. So when Ashia had mastered Necromancy, as a gift for her being worthy, Death presented her with Iblis, with parting words 'He is the compensation for the one whom you seek in my embrace, but the one I cannot return'.
With this Iblis found himself in a new realm resulting in his transformation into a human look-alike of a kid of 11 years from his usual impish form, but it also wrapped most of his power in the other realm, far from his use. He came to know that he now had the motherly love of a wonderful woman, grandmotherly care of an even older woman and that he also had a half-brother. He hadn't bargained for the love he got from the three, he thanked his mentor everyday when his mother put him to bed, he learned the ways of humans and the world from her, but he also noticed the sorrow and melancholy that still existed in her eyes, a sorrow he vowed to banish.
But soon, his mother decided to leave Iblis, for the expedition when he was 13, she promised taht nothing would keep her away from her two lights. Yet, he waited for her return which never happened. In his waiting he forgot about his younger brother and left him stranded, the desire to see his mother was so strong that he forgot the most important lesson she taught her, 'family always stays together', he left the young Gale, who was barely six to fend on his own and set out to find his mother, incessant and unfettered to find her at all costs. He journeyed to Dusk alone, determined to find his light, it took him 3 years to reach it. As a being of darkness, the weak creatures at the precipice were weary to confront Iblis, as he marched ignorant of his changing surroundings, at last he came across the remains of a fallen one, undoubtedly human, more so a female, his heart raced as a bad thought entered his mind. He was not far from the precipice, so the demons taht gathered were not that poweerful, though nothing could be said of their numbers. He carefully explored the area around the skeleton, there was a pendant lying in a heap pf dried mud and a staff lying not so far from it. He picked up the pendant, it was similar to the ghoul's talon like the one his mother always wore. now the reality seemed stranger than his thoughts, how in the world, Ashia of the dawn forest, the most skillful necromancer falling to beings of darkness, it didn't make sense, assaulted by the sudden pain of loss; which he had only fleetingly thought a possibility was turning to be the bitter reality, he sunk to his feet and started crying, the monsters which by now had become a fairly large host decided that they had enough members to take down this foolish one who entered their territory alone. The leader let out a howl and the host charged, charged on the sunken kid who was hit bu a deep sorrow. With tears of blood raining down his cheeks, Iblis picked up her mother's staff and charged the ones that would be the target of his ire. The staff was heavier than he thought, the host larger. Still, he charged blinded by rage, as the fight progressed it became clear as to whose in command. He drew strength from the memories of her mother, frantically chantingthe spells he had learned, hehoped than her staff with resonate with him too.

Crreeaakk!! as a crackling wave burst through the staff hitting the nearest fiend square on the chest, he collapsed instantly. Luck had come to the rescue of Iblis and he had taken down the Alpha. He decided that he can't avenge her today, not being weak as he is,he will train everyday till an oppurtunity will present itself again. Thinking this he dashed to the mouth of the precipice, using the remnants of his strength to cast a final summoning spell, the one he learned from Death himself, summoning the Infernal ghoul, again her staff was the one that made it possible,for he didn't have the strength in him.Once safely outside the Dusk, he collapsed near a thicket of trees. Once he woke, the misery continued, her staff; the last memory; cracked in two. Aghast, Iblis removed the onyx that adorned the head and left the staff there. He knew her presence would remain in the staff, even if mild, it would attract Gale to it, if he ever wants to find her remains. He knew he had been a terrible brother; rather he had no right of being a human.

4 years later while travelling through a town, he heard the legend of the Princess of Light, of how she battled dusk, of how she was betrayed and yet found victory. Curious as to who dare to betray her, Iblis was shocked to know of the 6 warlocks, his mother one of them. He vowed to find the truth for himself, to avenge her death and restore her honour.

Now 25 years later Iblis has the chance to be a member of the third expedition, hopeful that this banner would present a chance to meet his long estranged brother, the one he abandoned, he didn't have the guts to face him. but, maybe fate would be merciful, as she was when he met Ashia.

Specialty: Summoning beings from oblivion to do his bidding. Using spells that siphon life to me.
Skills:
- Wisdom due to exposure to other realms of magic.
- Can defend well with his staff (learned from the monks he met on his travels)
- Can consume his summons to gain energy, thus food is not a neccessity
- Transformation to a wraith when resting or avoiding detection, thus doesn't take much space.
- Survivalist
- Can do a bit of nature magic to stop bleeding and minor healing
- Stealth

Equipment & Inventory:
- Eyes of Asur (The Staff), made from the Onyx taken from his mother's staff and another one from his travels, aides Iblis with the strength of his summons and their duration.
- Death's Embrace (A cloak ), recieved as a blessing from Death, he wears this to enter his wraith state.


Relationships: Gale Kaloc (Estranged brother), no other acquaintances known.

Note: Iblis cannot attack in wraith state, he needs to materialize to cast spell. Wraith form can be edited if it violates rules

I like it

Gale is too old for dat XD

I also think that the children of the warlocks have to be fairly old since considering that it's 25 years after their parents have died.

I suppose that means that if Tyr has met Aera in the past, then meeting Lysander would also be a reasonable assumption.
