Since I'm a bit of an addict when it comes to making characters, might as well start listing them somewhere. Not that quick-linking them is important yet, but...

Sophia is the first of a handful of builds I'm preparing for a story I'm writing. While a decently talented swordswoman and huntress, she's still within the normal human range of power, and does not possess supernatural talent of her own (Powers), nor artifact weaponry (Devices).

The Knowledge skill ranks might be a bit on the low side for someone who's about to inherit a castle and then some. I blame her slacking off during her lessons.

Complications: Hatred (Selfish Nobles), Responsibility (Her Village)


Elysia is the other person to show up at the onset of the story. She's three PL above Sophia - this is completely intentional. Her style is, as you can see, much less open and straightforward. Her weapons have a high critical threat range to aid in representing the 'end it before it begins' mentality of the style, and the linked Nauseate on the knives is there as a poison. A weak poison, but still a poison.

I'll probably add in proper backstories later on, but for now, I'd rather get these in so I can get to the story itself.

Complications: Responsibility (Her Village), Reputation/Secret (Has four children by age eighteen; the reputation that comes with this is an unfortunate and incorrect assumption)


Nina Lowell first appears in Chapter 2. Unlike Sophia and Elysia, Nina isn't even trying to pretend she's a combatant. She's a mother, not a fighter. Terrible puns that make me feel like a bad person just for making them aside, Nina is a fair bit more maternal than Sophia and Elysia, and not just toward her children -- she acts that way toward Elysia at times, and is beginning to act this way toward Sophia, despite a rather minimal age difference.
