CASTLE OF GLASS

PERSONALITY

Ruled by her heart rather than her head, Lucia is a reckless and brash youth with an unrestrained tongue that gets her into trouble more often than not. She's rough around the edges, crude, arrogant, prideful, temperamental, and coarse, and the sort who would happily spend half the night in a tavern (whether drinking, gambling, or getting into a fight depends on her mood, but hey, all three work too).

Her past is a blur and her future is equally difficult to see, so she lives day by day with only survival in mind. Her loyalty belongs to whoever pays for it, and because of her talent with a sword, she charges quite a bit to ensure quality standards are met. They always are. If nothing else, the steady stream of work keeps her moving, and allows her to see what the world has to offer.

There are plenty of things you'd never guess when looking at her. You'd never guess that she sings like an angel, is an incredible cook, and can take on men twice her size without breaking a sweat. What you wouldn't guess, though, is that she's a "she" at all. Her feminine traits are carefully concealed by binding and attire, and she only introduces herself as "Raven," the name she chose when beginning to build her reputation as a sellsword.

For now, things are fine. Living like this is fine. Tomorrow it might not be. But for today, she can't complain that much.

LIKES [attr="class","scroll"] Dessert: As much as she loves meat - and she reaaally loves meat - she's got a secret sweet tooth like no tomorrow. Exercise: Working out, training, and sparring are all great ways to pass time. Card games: Don't worry, she's got too much pride to cheat.

DISLIKES [attr="class","scroll"] Large dogs: What if they bite? Or jump? Blergh. Laundry: ...can't she go chop firewood or something instead? Bitter medicine: But really, who likes that in the first place.

MOTIVATIONS [attr="class","scroll"] Her memories: Remembering what she's lost is a good place to start, isn't it? Once she can figure out who she was in the past, maybe she'll have a shot at some sort of decent future. Rupees: ...hey, a girl's gotta eat, and she isn't a big fan of having to hunt or sleep outside all the time. Getting stronger: The pursuit of strength might not be the most important thing for some people, but it is fairly high on her list.

FEARS [attr="class","scroll"] Never remembering: What if she remains a cipher forever? Empty, blank, nothing... it terrifies her. (Poor thing has yet to realize she can make new memories and take this fresh start as a gift.) Snakes: It's just... it's a long story, okay?! One she doesn't want to bring up! Being discovered: With her livelihood sort of depending on her being "Raven," she's worried about the day that "Lucia" is revealed. Talk about a headache waiting to happen.

HISTORY

Not much is known about the sellsword who goes by the alias "Raven." He gets the job done on time, if not quicker than that, and has worked up a reputation of being true to his client, regardless of what other offers come his way. His iconic mask serves as a mark, and understandably, butterflies have become a motif for him.

But... No one knows the truth behind the ruse. Raven, or Lucia as she is known in secret, likes to keep it that that. Being a "he" makes things easier, you could say, and it helps her maintain a certain distance from her own life. Why would a person want that? Well, besides her chosen profession being a male-dominated one where a woman would have issues finding the same chances offered, she's a bit of a cipher. Those lost memories are what she pursues and why she travels, and with a bit of luck, something will spark through the amnesia clouding her.

APPEARANCE

Head
Waist-length blue hair is tightly bound into a steady bun, with loose hair covering it so that no one can tell it is done up rather than cut short. Blue eyes, piercing and searching, are hidden at all times behind a map stylized like a butterfly with spread wings. For all intent and purposes, when looking at her, Lucia hides all traces of femininity and comes across as a young man rather than the woman she is. Only in the privacy of an inn room does she lower her guard and relax a bit.

Body
A tall, lean muscled form reaches 5'10", and one can only guess at her weight (don't, please, she doesn't like talking about that, it's rude!). A scabbard and leather hip satchel are always seen, further proving the traveling lifestyle she's taken up for herself. Any traces of breasts are well hidden with binding. She's got a healthy sunkissed coloring to her skin due to the hours spent outside in the heat of the day. Her hands, as expected, her calloused, which is why she hides her palms behind fingerless gloves.

Attire
The clothing that covers her body from head to toe is reinforced, yet lightweight enough to never hinder her movement. Maintaining her agility is a priority. Fashion? No such thing in her world. There's no need in having tons of clothing in the first place, but... well. One day, maybe, she wouldn't mind putting on one of those dresses that noblewomen seem to enjoy flaunting around in- ugh, no, definitely not her style at all.

MAGIC

MAGIC TYPE: Buff
NAME: Berserk
RANK: Uncommon
CLASS: Support
DURATION/COOLDOWN: 1 post duration | 3 post cooldown
DESCRIPTION: Offensive capabilities are greatly increased beyond what is normally physically possible, leaving the castor in a blind rage that forces them to lash out at their target until they can no longer lift their own blade in a strike. The cost of this is that all of their energy is focused attacking, and as such, their defense is dropped greatly. Once the spell has come to an end, they are unable to do much at all until they recover some strength.

+ Gills and Fins: Zora are able to breathe underwater without the help of blue dye or a breathing apparatus.

+ Swim Champions: All Zora swim at ease underwater. They are fast, able to fit in narrow spaces, and can outmatch any other race in the water at ease.

- Weak to Electricity: Zora are not very strong against electricity - especially since it spreads like wildfire in water. It can be fatal if exposed to enough, and they will take much more damage than other races.

WEAPONS

RANK: Mundane
TYPE: Sword
HANDLING: One handed
DESCRIPTION: A long, tempered blade that has seen much use since it came into the hands of the one currently wielding it. Great care is taken when tending to it, leaving no nicks or stains on the somehow pristine metal.

EXTRAS

MUSIC BOX: A strange trinket for one such as this. It is safely carried in a leather satchel at all times. The song it plays is rather haunting, invoking memories just out of reach.

PLAYER ALIAS: Zephyrus, or Zephy~
FACE CLAIM: Lucina - Fire Emblem
REFERENCE: Waga dragged my butt here, but I saw it before then via ads
ALTS: @lycoris
PLAYER'S REQUEST: Lucia works very hard to conceal her identity as a woman. Please, please, please don't magically assume she is one unless it is revealed through character progression. Don't meta me ;~;
