☾✧☽︎ Babaylan of Takipsilim ☾✧☽︎ ☾✧☽︎ Dawn Songstress ● Priestess of the Eventide ● Dainty Northerner ☾✧☽︎ ☾✧☽︎ Theme Set ☾✧☽︎ Singing Voice ● "Lost is my homecoming." ● I Was Born for This Encounter ● "I hope your day's been kind." ● Sea Winds and Travelers Battle Ensues ● "Life is full of falling and rising again." ● Icarus ☾✧☽︎ Name: Rangira Sorenvik True Birth Name: Rangira of the Liwanagit Clan Fake Name: Novellia Fristadvlom Nickname/s: 'Nove', 'Morgensanger', 'Ran' Age: 25 Sex: Female Gender: Female Race: Balantagi Sihai Eye Color: Indigo-Purple Preferred Weapon: Jade Orb ☾✧☽︎ Rangira is a practitioner of the Loong Virtue and "Post-Loong" Religion of the Balantagi, paying her reverence towards Saaima the Mother and the great ancestors of the Liwanagit and Gintongdiwa clans. She believes deeply upon the aspects of benevolence and self-sacrifice. However, when it comes to the concept of tolerance, she exchanges it for acceptance and understanding as she believes that tolerance is not enough and to accept someone is far more challenging yet noble. Her love for the people and the world spawned her determination and her choice to become a Babaylan. ☾✧☽︎ A Balantagi Babaylan and an Archon who specializes as a healer and person of faith rather than a fighter, she did once believe nobility was the way to change the world alongside her role as a Babaylan, but soon learned the naivety and pain that such a path brought upon her. She seeks to protect harmony in the world, even if it is with only her own hands. ☾✧☽︎ Proficiencies Points Left || 1 Strength || 0 Constitution || 1 ✧ Thread Craft Wisdom || 4 ✧ Arcanology Affliction Wisdom Dimenthist Wisdom ✧ Alchemy Healing Alchemy Dexterity || 2 ✧ Ranged Backup Knocking Magic || 5 ✧ Magic Wind Cosmic ✧ Mythic Draconic Healing Draconic Shielding Draconic Cleansing Charisma || 1 ✧ Language East Linguist Pack Archon Draconic Healing Draconic Shielding Draconic Cleansing Ritualism [Dragon Worship] ☾✧☽︎ Rangira Album ☾✧☽︎ Spoiler: ✧ Rangira Art ✧ ☾✧☽︎ Rangira is a Balantagi. Her only odd trait is that her iris is a bluish-purple as a result of her status as a Dragon Warden. ☾✧☽︎ Rangira is 5'1" and has a curved form with some lean muscle and tends to be fairly fit from activity. She has sable black hair with straight bangs and two lengthy locks for each side of her head. Her clothing tends to be Balantagi Damit or Malaginto styles, Mainland Sihai clothing, or a mix of it with western clothing. She has a band of Balantagi tattoos on her left upper arm. ☾✧☽︎ Childhood || Born on the 1 July 284 AC, Rangira was born to the demon-slayer Archon Dagatalim of the Liwanagit and the Babaylan Kuliling of the Gintongdiwa. She was raised among the Liwanagit as the feuding was fierce between the clans. The Gintongdiwa refused to accept the bond of Kuliling and Dagatalim. Despite not having contact with her maternal side, Rangira was raised in a loud and nurturing home filled with many family members. She was early on exposed to the world of priesthood and archonship, but despite her curiosity and the positivity, she felt nervous about her future. Still, she was given the chance to take her time with her training in preparation of being an archon and/or babaylan in the future. Her parents were worried, but decided to let their daughter have time to decide and to find what she wanted. ☾✧☽︎ Adolescence || At the age of 9, Rangira's father did not return from his latest mission in the Regalian Archipelago. He was seeking to hunt a great demon and a sorcerer working in tandem with them. The child grew antsy about her father's delay. It was not unusual, but it was only days or a month and a half at most that he would extend his missions. Yet he would not return. At age 10, the city of Kawituwan on Takipsilim island where she lived in would be attacked by foreign vagabonds hired by one of the rival Tagapamahala. The Liwanagit clan quickly rose into action, while Babaylan including Kuliling herself hid the children and elderly. By a stroke of misfortune, Rangira's calves were injured by an assailant in the chaos. Kuliling would try to protect her, only to be beset with a curse that forced her into a slumber. Rangira, with no one to save her, was sailed off to Dexai. Yet they could even sell Rangira as a laborer, she was saved by a master swordsman who defeated the men and took Rangira to his home to raise with the rest of the people in his sect. In her time with Master Tashan, he taught her Wa'an and how to blend in as contact with the Balantagi was prohibited. Her skills in embroidery and medicine grew exponentially with the care she was given and the access to teachers with help of her sect leader. In addition, she was taught a few self-defense skills. ☾✧☽︎ Early Adulthood || When she turned 18, Rangira was deep within her spiritual growth and further emboldened by the 18th birthday dream she had after being told of its significance in Mainland Sihai society by her friends. Yet, she soon realized it was also a sign to leave. The town knew of her medicine skills and her usage of unfamiliar medicines. It was only a matter of time before her charade was discovered. Begrudingly, she packed and made the journey home to Pahimakas and to Takipsilim Island. She made sure to even bring pasalubong for her family, though she worried about how they would react. Upon her return, she was showered by the love of the Liwanagit who could not believe the return of one of their own. For them, it was as if the ancestor Mayari had watched over Rangira. This belief only grew as Rangira utilized what she learned and retained both from Dexai and Takipsilim to break the curse on her mother and awaken her. It was then, that celebration was had and that she was given time to finalize her Babaylan training with her mother. She was gifted her first tattoos on her left upper arm. While all seemed well, a turn for the worse came as her retainer was maimed while protecting her from an attacker sent by the Gintongdiwa clan. Another blow came when news of her master's passing also arrived. While she saved her mother and was now a Babylan, she was helpless and could not help her retainer and her master. She then chose to set out for the Regalian Archipelago and to commit to service to be of use to the world and fulfill her duties. It was also upon the behest of her family, who knew that the Gintongdiwa specifically targeted her for being a lasting reminder of the bond they could not break. ☾✧☽︎ Beginnings in Regalia || Arriving in Regalia, Rangira immediately adopted a new name, 'Novellia'. It was meant to be a name used to fit in. She started to find her place in the capital city as she sung and danced, even performing at an Imperial Ball. She was a pretender, but it felt fairly fine for her at the time. Soon, however, a letter would come to her from Drixagh as an invitation for her to go North. When she did, she was met with difficult terrain before coming across a small town with a fortress estate. To her surprise, it was no Northerner managing the area-- but a Sihai man. Her father. He had been caring for the land as a promise to the old aristocrat Fristadvlom before him, who had given him hospitality and together slew dark entities bothering the town. In a twist of fate, he asked his daughter to take hold of his position. If she did, he could reunite with her mother. The prospect horrified the young lady, but she took it upon herself if it meant she could mend her family once more and that it was how she could serve to bring peace and benevolence. She became Novellia av Fristadvlom from then on. ☾✧☽︎ Present || Aristocracy led to her rising and soon, she even entered nobility and married. She involved herself in the various events such as the Northern Rebellion, the Clicker Crisis, and more. As Grand Duchess Reinard av Fristadvlom, she was the beloved wife of Augustin and mother to their child, yet this peace would deteriorate. Unable to handle further pressures and seeking to serve the dragons and her ancestors, she left her place in nobility to continue on as a Babaylan and commoner, left to figure out what to do with the pieces and her role in present and future. ✧ 3 Support (2 Forced)
@Katiesc I hope I'm not a bother. Would it be alright to have my character app reviewed? As to why there's no prefix, I added a few more details with the character since the one week so far has given me a lot more insight.
Need a reviewer! A lot of mishaps happened with my application. I apologize for any of the trouble I've caused because of any changes.
@Caelamus Just wanted you to check some app changes I made, I hope it won't be too much trouble. Edits are in this color. [List of Changes] > The name she uses > Clothing > Part of her Personality and Abilities Section > Added a little more to her backstory, regarding recent developments > Also, I switched Novellia's Hoglander boost from Historical to Statesman Knowledge I hope it doesn't require a full re-review. Thank you for your help!
@Caelamus Edited Novellia's Proficiency points and also changed the formatting of Novellia's backstory I hope everything will be alright!
☀ The age has been changed from 20 to 21. ☀ Proficiency Points ➺ Total: 35 to 36 ➺ Cavalry Points have been removed and split for the following two: ➺ 10 Diplomatic to 17 Diplomatic ➺ 4 Society Knowledge added☀ Changed Personality/Abilities section to have Option 2 instead of 1
@Caelamus Changed the Prof points to pool into Soul Dragon Ritualism. (Will add backstory implementation later)
Approved though make sure to change the tag to needs re-review in the future when you make changes sunshine. @CrimsletMonarch
@Caelamus It's ready! Added details to her backstory connected with ritualism. Also made sure to change the tag this time, sorry for the mishap!
@Caelamus Additions to Novellia's backstory have been made to better present the origin of her diplomatic case skill points, they will be in red!
@Caelamus Sir, here is the revamp uwu. ☀ Proficiency Rework!~ ☀ Backstory Add-ons to updated history and to explain proficiency points
@Caelamus I awaken thee from thy slumber! Hello there, here's some edits: Firstly, Novellia has had 3 points removed from ritualism and now used for Linguistic Sciences to speak Burdigalic Next, 5 points that were originally thrown into baking and cooking have been removed to be used for the 10% cost of the Dragon Benefactor abilities Then, there's the new tab with the Dragon Benefactor abilities. Thank you for your help!
@Caelamus A few small edits! I realized the Dragon Warden power cost was incorrect and that it is supposed to be 3 points instead of 5, because it only takes points from the Age+5 points. Writing has been added in the hobby section and Novellia now has 2/2 racial boost usage. Both Sword and Vocal were lowered.
@Caelamus Proficiencies reworked to be in line with new changes! Also, made edits in this color for her backstory to show appropriate changes for the addition of schooling. I hope I did alright. Thank you as always for the help!
@Caelamus Made a few changes with recent developments: * changed Novellia from Hoglander to Imperial-Velheim on her Ailor side after the removal of Hoglanders * removed some expansions to make the sheet less clunky (weaknesses, likes/dislikes, etc.) * changed languages to adhere to recent language rule changes, too * removed schooling and replaced those +3 points into cooking * backstory revamped
@Caelamus Sorry about this! Hopefully the list helps out. List of Changes * Sheet has been changed to adhere to new format. * Point changes have been instituted as follows: 16 Sword --> 10 Sword 12 Needlework --> 10 Needlework Removed: 5 Composition Added: 10 Medical Knowledge, 3 Arcanology (Curing Knowledge) Language Change: High Anglian --> Nytalsk * Progression Talent added in
You have to choose between two now. Two languages are no longer inherited by merit of being a half race.
She has Skodje and Nytalsk because of the Linguistic Point Buy and Honed Skill I. Or uhh, did I use it wrong? uh oh
@Caelamus I changed Novellia from a Half-Sihai into a full Sihai and made changes in accordance with that: * Her proficiencies have been switched a little. Her racial boost is on Medical Science instead of Sword Combat. Sword Combat is now entirely made up of base points. * Her backstory has been overhauled to also take into account her being a Sihai instead of only a half.
@Caelamus Changes: * Novellia's now going by Rangira in RP now, so the sheet was changed to reflect such. * Also, her backstory was changed and tweaked
@Caelamus Big update hour! Proficiencies *+5 instrument was converted and added on top of +3 dancing to make it +8 dancing. *+2 writing was converted and added on top of +8 dancing to make it +10 dancing *+3 writing was converted and added on top of +3 linguistics to make it +6 linguistics Backstory and Character-Wise *Rangira is now a Balantagi! Her Core Concept and Backstory were overhauled to highlight this new change.
