    Core Concept
    • Avox is an apostate of the Evintarian cult in general, who maintains her worship of her divine father Amandaros. She grew up a warrior and a general, eventually turning to pacifism as she took on the mantle of priesthood after the Silver Salience. Now, however, due to a feeling of purposelessness, she has split from the faith and seeks to gain the recognition of Amandaros to find out what her 'real' purpose is. She spends most of her time as a neutral asset who tries to mediate and arrange peaceful ends to conflicts in Regalia, but has an explicit goal to make even the staunchest of Wirtem and Prudes smile with a few jokes and a couple strong drinks in her father's name. Ultimately, however- She grieves her loss of faith to a degree, thinking of herself as lesser for failing at such, and she desperately seeks out some sort of purpose to fill the void that was formed after the Silver Salience.

    Character Appearance
    • Avox has many mutations: Having jet black talons, luminous fuschia blood which turns black and dull when exposed to air. Upon her elbows, neck, and within her hair, rest feathers of black bodies and violet tinges. Though, she hides her flaws behind a near constant magical glamour- Only permitting her true, mutated form to be seen by those she trusts.
    • Avox often differs between forms. However, in her most plain and day to day state, she wears her strawberry blonde hair up in a short bob, has fuschia eyes, and stands at a modest 5'8 with a lithe stature. She prefers dresses that cover the entirety of her form on most days, and has no piercings or tattoos which are exposed to the world.
    • Alternatively, Avox has a Succour Kindred form- Meant to invoke both feelings of disgust and attraction to whoever interprets her demonic form in whichever way. Her hair reddens, her normally angelic wings become a crimson red, and she almost looks Katharic, were it not for her infernal bloodline subtly changing it in a way to be almost demonic.
    [​IMG]
    Life Story
    Avox was born on Etosil into House Petrou, to her father Abelhard Petrou, under the ritual of the Mask, making her a Touamand. She spent even her younger years under scrutiny as a Touamand, untrusted for being a Half-Demon by some, and expected to rise to the occasion of nobility by others- She felt as if she must rise or she would be a failure. Unfortunately, she was never truly given a purpose- As she was a solution, and most people didn't expect anything much of her. However, her mind still rationalized this as being untrue- And she fell hard into her religious conditioning, striving to be the best Unionist she could be- And hating herself when she could not, an insecurity that would last through much of her life.

    After Avox came to be eight, she began the initial rigors of inoculation- Spending most days within the temples of Athos to learn religious scripture at the instruction of her father, and fortifying her mind in accordance with Kithemon's teachings. After some years, she finally began to be tutored in the arcane arts at the age of fourteen, along with military tutoring. She showed potential as a Mageborn, coming into the spells easily due to her Voidbent lineage, but ultimately became a painfully average mage- Though, due to her exposure, she eventually became physically dependent on the very energy which she cast- Having used it in irresponsible and stupid ways as she grew up. Without it, her form would waste away- So even now, she must constantly keep a steady stream running through her body.

    As she came of age Avox gained Commission within the Regalian military, refusing to become a Celate due to her belief she had not become what was desired of one, as a captain. She only became such a high rank upon entry due to nepotism and a favorable look upon the nobility at the time, though she quickly proved merit amongst the fleet, serving as a logistics officer for the duration of the Sendrassian and Dread Wars. However, her mettle would finally be tested in battle as House Petrou became involved in the conflict in Ruttgher.

    During the conflict in Ruttgher, Avox was responsible for the overthrow of the Dogmatics in the country- Breaking their line with a well placed series of coastal raids. However, the true battle would come later- As untold amounts of life were lost both due to her actions, and the actions of others. It was a bloody war that left the woman shaken, though her faith was not broken. Despite this all, she became the sovereign of her own country through hostile takeover.

    In the current, she has come to distance herself from the faith which drove her to commit dozens of atrocities in the name of her Gods- Having always reached for the sword and driven a wedge between herself and those she loved, the act that broke her being the sheer bliss she felt without the sensation of expecting herself to do things under Unionism due to her mind being wiped by Kurahe. Though, the one who truly set her on the path to healing was a dear friend, Isa- Having convinced her that what she had was not healthy for her. She now is an apostate, who seeks to make the world a little bit better without the faith- Though, her tendency towards fencesitting to avoid moral confrontation is often a pain to her friends who take sides- And she is often a doormat, letting friends make less than ideal choices while she bites her tongue to avoid being fussy.

    Blood
    • Alcyone Petrou | Beloved Aunt | ".. I worry for you, Auntie. We'll get you some help."
      • Alcyone spent much of her life outside of Avox's life due to her work- Leading to an estranged relationship. Though, when she returned to the Capital- She originally feared and respected her, though as time goes on, they have gone much closer. Avox worries for her aunt and her condition, but feels loved and guided by her. She'd put her life on the line if it meant keeping her safe.
    Loved Ones
    • Stoloc Petrou | Precious Husband | "Isn't it funny? Our first date was a pit fight in the sewers."
      • Stoloc and Avox had a rough start to their relations- First hating eachothers guts, but Avox was always a sucker for the way he bickered and fought with her. Despite his flaws, she loves him more than the world. And despite her flaws, Stoloc keeps her grounded to this earth. There is nobody else she'd like to spend eternity with more.
    • Arianwen | Fiery Compatriot | ".. I won't leave you, beloved."
      • Arianwen and Avox originally met whilst Arianwen was a triton worshipper, and the two had an odd case of looking strangely similar to eachother in her Succour Kindred form. She offered some therapy to her- And the two bonded. Avox views Arianwen as something of a stray cat, but one that would probably kill anyone who harmed her without hesitation. She just wishes she'd smile a bit more- But is happy that she isn't as angry as she usually is around her.
    Friends and Comrades
    • Isa | Unofficial Niece | ".. Take some credit, why won't you? You helped me as much as I helped you."
      • Isa was once someone Avox considered a member of her faith- Someone she was meant and expected to protect and aid. Though, she didn't expect her to be the one who broke her free of her cycle of constantly expecting more of herself. Over time, Isa became an apostate- And so did Avox. Now, she watches her with an ever growing sense of pride for the direction she goes- Trying her best to provide aid without seeming overbearing.
    • Ailred | Enjoyable Debbie Downer | "Gods- What a sour man. At least he smiled one time, though- Thats progress."
      • Avox is uncertain if Ailred even considers her a friend- But in her eyes, she considers him one of the better conversational partners in the capitol, despite what she sees as an attitude to make a Lothar a bit sad. Despite this all, she thinks of him as wise and principled- But she has a somewhat condescending opinion of him, viewing him as someone she needs to help out of a pit of despair.
    • Rolann | Concerningly Good Mentor | "I know he's evil- But.. We're both linked, in strange ways."
      • Rolann approached her whilst she was a priestess- Offering her protection in the Gloomrot against those who might assail her. While she knows he's.. Someone she shouldn't associate with, she admittedly enjoys his conversation and their linked pasts in the service of Amandaros. When she sought purpose and nobody gave her counsel, he gave her a straight answer, and for that she's grateful.
    • Einar | Roughnecked Drinking Buddy | "He's honest. I like him for that."
      • Einar was an individual she met and bonded over with whilst he tried to teach Aldane something- She offered tips in mentorship, and eventually bonded with him over the fact he did not fell his fellow man, but evil beasts. While they are not exceptionally close- She considers him to be a fine person to have a beer with.
    • Amelina Peirgarten | Fellow Romance Novel Enthusiast | "You know- I feel for her. We're sort of Mood Kindred, you know?"
      • While Avox despised the Peirgartens for the longest time- This came more as a result of her own poor social etiquette. Though, as time progressed and stakes lowered- She was more than open to speak to Amelina, and while she is uncertain of how to approach her, she is glad to have some other noble to talk about her most recent binge read, and someone who can relate to her to some degree in spiritual matters.
    Acquaintances​
    • Meresankh | Quippy Doctor | "I like her moxie- Honestly."
      • Meresankh is someone who Avox considers to be.. A somewhat morally dubious doctor, but certainly nothing bad. She wishes she could find which Hippocratic oath she swore, and ultimately just enjoys her conversations with her. Though, she is pretty plainly thankful that she's taking care of Isa, and is happy to see someone just doing some good in the world.
    • Jean von Rolanthe | Newest Pet Project | "Romantic sorts are my favorite, did you know that?"
      • Avox can't describe how much she just enjoys this little lordling and his bravado. From his open experimentation with presentation, to his brazen displays of affection. It touches her rotten little heart, and she wishes to see him succeed- Even going so far as to offer her personal aid in his endeavors. Maybe this is just what she needs to get Amandaros' attention.
    • Jhavartal | Temporary Caretaker | ".. While his business operation might be a little dubious, I can commend his open arms and am indebted."
      • Whilst she had her mind wiped, Avox was left in a vulnerable state- And Jhavartal had the option to take in an entirely useless stranger, and help them out even if it was for possible capital gain. She can't help but admire this, and is thankful to him for not getting her outright killed.
    • Markus Delmotte | Uncertain Dealmaker | "I can never get a read on him.. I think he has good intent, though?"
      • Like many of the nobles of Regalia- Avox is uncertain how to feel about them. From their backdoor dealings and tendency towards ambiguity, Avox can almost never tell what Markus' intent is. Though, she knows him to be quite good at speaking to others- A skill she was, for a long time, envious of. She isn't sure whether he is friend or foe, but hopes he is the former.
    • Fiorenza Garfolo | Best Gossip Ever | "You know- As long as she isn't talking about me, I think she's great."
      • For the longest time, Avox considered Fiorenza to be someone she couldn't trust- Distancing herself from her due to her ability to maneuver social situations better than her, out of fear of being played. Though, after a few encounters, she considers her to be someone she certainly enjoys talking to. Shes lost most of her fear of being socially outpaced, and usually just enjoys the girltalk without fear of repercussions because she spoke to her.

    @Carlit0o Updated the app and need some review.

    - Tweaked core concept a bit to fit Avarr soul Binding.
    - Tweaked proficiency to give Avox flesh, wind, and storm magic.
    - Barely edited backstory.

    Did this all to keep up with the evintarin Update :)

    @festiveCorvid Hey here's the review. Stealth Pack no longer exists, please remove this from your proficiency information. Characters also only get one language free outside of common. Please select either Saan or Hellas as your character's native language. Rest looks good!

    @festiveCorvid Specify what I assume is Mount Husbandry Pack on your Charisma section, currently it's just written as Husbandry. Magic looks fine though, so just fix this with your mount type and you're all set.

    @festiveCorvid Only thing is that you lose the Advanced Mount option without 4 CHA, just adjust this and you'll be set.
