[attr="class","appbody"] [attr="class","appcat"]bio It is not common for a woman to don the armour of a man, to pick up a sword and wield it like an extension of their body, to be the one to fight off the violent beast that plagues the land. They talk of a warmaiden in the Baronies, of a beautiful warrior with a heart of ice. Yet even the iciest of hearts will melt - it is simply a matter of time. You live near a small village, one enclosed by the woods. There is a path leading up the mountains to a small retreat that overlooks the forests below, to a house and a blacksmith's forge. True, you do have a smithy set up in the village, and there was no need to have one by your house, but sometimes you preferred not to have your work interrupted by customers. Sometimes, you felt more museful when you were alone. It is strange, for you to have gone from a young girl with a smile as bright as day, optimistic and mischievous, to a woman who is cold, expressionless and stoic. Yes, you may have been quiet as both a girl and a woman, but when you were younger you were friendlier and willing to play pranks on people. Something happened. You don't talk about it in great detail, but what a very sparse amount of individuals know is that you went to see a somewhat erratic witch, and ever since that, you have been emotionally scarred, rigid and somewhat withdrawn. Yet that won't change your loyal and dedicated nature to the people of 'your' village. To people. But still, those of the village are those that you would do anything for, to keep them safe, since they were the ones that took you in when you were found wandering alone and lost, with only the grimoire of your biological parents, a sword and little else. You will do whatever it takes to repay your debt to them, and to the kindly blacksmith that adopted you as his own. But the boundaries of the village, the mountains, are starting to feel restricting. [attr="class","appcat"]lore & abilities Kaias has trained with a sword ever since she has been able to walk. It was only necessary in her father's eyes. Her training has led her to be a master swordswoman, able to hold her own with ease. She has a preference to one-handed swords accompanied with a shield, though she has some experience with katanas. In addition to swordwork, Kaias is also experienced with hand-to-hand combat, her main strategy combining it with well-developed acrobatic skills and flexibility. Meditation has also led to her having honed senses. While not superhuman, her senses can almost seem it at times. Born a witch, Kaias has also spent her time learning magic. While much of her training focuses more on the physical side of things, Kaias has learned some White Magic, more specifically minor healing spells to help herself in combat. Recently she has perfected a defensive charm to deflect attacks, should she be without her shield. Her preferences lie in the Primal fields of magic, however, and even more specifically, in the elements of ice and wind. A spell that her father taught her is simply known as 'Launch', and is wind elemental in nature. The spell causes a gust of wind to knock the opponent off their feet and up into the air, often causing them to be susceptible to being buffeted with more spells. This spell can also be used on herself, in order to launch herself into the air to strike at her target with her sword, but she hasn't practiced this technique as much as she has on enemies. In addition to these abilities, Kaias has dove into the school of enchantments, and often places enchants on the weapons and armour that she makes, either to make swords eternally sharp or to make heavy armour lighter in weight. Whe can pack a pretty harsh punch when she wants to, her strength lies in her speed, and with that speed comes agility. Kaias has been gifted with the ability of extremespeed, allowing her to run at speeds nearly too fast for the human eye to see, which often makes it seem like she has teleported to her next location. Betraying her path however is the crimson sparks behind her, which can be attributed to being the colour of her aura. She rarely uses this ability outside of combat, as she finds it highly draining, despite her enhanced stamina. Most often she uses it as a last resort. Accompanying this ability is a healing factor, allowing her to heal faster than the average human, though this benefit does not aid her against poison, which slows down the process. The last ability she has been gifted with is a resistance to the cold. Kaias less affected by cold and icy weather than the average human, though being caught in a blizzard is still less than desirable. Outside of combat, Kaias is an experienced blacksmith, making all of her own weapons and armour. She also has great survival skills, though she really would prefer not to get stuck out in the wilderness. | [attr="class","appname"]KAIAS LEONHART [attr="class","appicon"] [attr="class","appstats"] AGE: 20 SEX: F RACE: HUMAN HOMELAND: THE BARONIES CONTRACT: Y [attr="class","appquote"]you can treat this like another all the same, but don't cry like a bitch when you feel the pain |
