    Personality and Abilities
    • How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
      • She generally tends to freeze or hunker down in a corner.
    • How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
      • Nalesh's response to stress is pretty much just binge whatever she can get her hands on and sink into the nearest soft furniture.
    • How would your character express feeling Happy?
      • Easily described as hyper energetic destruction of property and touchy feely.
    • How does your character view Law and Authorities?
      • Laws are relative but needed and should be largely respected if possible, exploiting them is preferable.
    • How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
      • Anything that deviates from the human/nelfin mold is seen as an animal or at least less capable. This is mostly treated as ''I feel bad for you''. This extends to Wildering Kathar and songaskia in their horned form and is largely negated if they originate from a magical source.
    • How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?
      • She's mostly passive towards it, trying to avoid bringing up topics surrounding it. Although her belief in the katharist faith is now only describable as technically still a thing due to her studies, she holds no ill will towards it. She prefers katharists and faiths similar to it ( Old Gods etc. ).
    • How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?
      • Bordering on obsession, she enjoys the mere present of those effected by the arcane, seeing it as an end to a must. She however does express disgust towards the less pleasant looking abberants and is very clear about vampires generally being shitty, though it is generally done with a shrug.
    • How does your character feel towards their family?
      • She views her immediate family with distaste and envy due to their arcane achievements and talents. When talking about people she considers her family, Nalesh is generally pleasant and largely follows the ideology of blood of the covenant is thicker than water.
    • What is your character's biggest insecurity?
      • Her main insecurity is her lack of a magical spark and abilities and generally viewing herself as a failure.
    • What is your character the most proud of about themselves?
      • She views herself as a failure and largely doesn't have pride in an aspect of herself.
    • What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?
      • She wishes to achieve great power and leave a mark on the world. Other than that it's largely just hedonism and self destructive behavior pushing her to do things.
    • What is your character's biggest fear?
      • Nalesh is extremely scared about dying a failure, but not dying itself.
    Personality and Abilities
    • The nelfin is easily described as detached and apathetic, seemingly fitting into the saivale and general kathar mold to outsiders. This is mostly due to her low effort and low energy nature. Easily described as a functional alcoholic, among other things, Nalesh is considerably more like your average noble heir rather than the ruling class of the dread empire. With a focus on sarcasm and crassness, she is easily seen as irresponsible and impulsive, but overall reliable, even if it is in her own mangled way that makes you ask ‘’How is that even possible?’’. Overall the kathar is not particularly friendly but fun at parties and prone to antics.
    • Having spent most of her life surrounded by luxury and excess, the nelfin has some odd ideas about life, death and the worth of life. Resources always being a snap away from appearing in front of her and her generally comfy life has resulted in extreme but functional hedonism, she will gladly drink to excess if provided the chance, but is perfectly capable of recovering from any withdrawal, though it is only largely done to avoid the negative physical aspects as she’s soon to relapse whenever possible. Nalesh has what can only be described as a weird relation with death, the idea of death has never really been seen as something disgusting, even the idea of murder being considered a just means to an end, but this relies on a certain distance from her, though generally this is only reserved for extreme attachment, for your average friend, they would receive a muted response, and well for your average person on the street, at best, a shrug. In a way, she’s best described as an emotional possessed. Not being blessed by the veil or even sucker punched by it in the form of sudden magical awakening has resulted in some feeling of inadequacy, she has always felt like a failure and a disappointment to her family. With her forefathers claimed to be great heroes in ages long gone that clashed with the allorn empire and stood hand in hand with arken, she is afraid of not leaving even the smallest of marks in the world and constantly strives to do so. With this in mind, it’s easy to see the cause of her normal state being hazy and blurred.
    • Nalesh doesn’t really distinguish between friends and the general public. The most one could expect from her is her willingness to sacrifice herself for you and some minor favors. Beyond that, may you be a lifelong friend or a random slave she finds funny, you’d be faced with the same kathar with a front seat to drunken revelry. If you manage to somehow catch her attention in a different way, she can honestly be described as honest and selfless. This generally goes to the extent where she'd risk heavy if not fatal injury, but this position is pretty much only limited to her favorite drug dealer or the unlucky slizzar that gets stuck with her, and her body pillow.
    • Easily described as abhorrent to the standard moral values and doing whatever it takes to achieve her goals if she can get away with it. Nalesh can be easily described as fitting the kathar mold, although it’s easier to compare her to the slizzar mindset, she recognizes that the law and the structure it provides is important to maintaining power and so she wishes to work within it, but is completely fine with twisting rules and regulations as needed, when possible. She is not heartless and will often commit generally good deeds such as helping the downtrodden and mistreated, specifically taking a liking to the homeless if she has the resources to spare, though this mostly happens around when she commits immoral acts either in front of them or recently enough to meeting them, be it a ‘’sorry I scarred you for life.’’ after making them witness a murder or a ‘’Well I feel like a dick.’’ thought that would remain even if she was possessed or infected with vampirism, it’s less about altruism and more some sort of sense of balance.
    Life Story
    • Born into a relatively wealthy saivale family.
    • Receives a standard aristocratic education, but generally gets ignored due to not showing any proficiency in magic.
    • ~18, Has been doing your basic aristocracy things, hunting and generally burning a hole in the family’s coffers searching for a way to achieve power.
    • 20, starts focusing on kathar ritualism in the hopes of finding some ancient path to glory.
    • 25, Gets shanked in the alley for cheating in cards. While recovering receives her malady summon and has fully committed to her studies. During this time she also starts talking to the human slaves, mostly to find out what lies outside the empire.
    • 29, has started touring the shenath tribes to expand on the lesser known tribal aspects, and mostly to hunt. It goes largely smoothly due to the diplomatic advantage of being the only source of liquor and fine drugs in a ten mile radius of whatever tribe she visits.
    • 35, returns home, starts spending her time in the family library during the day while searching for void touched beings that she finds interesting during the night.
    • 37, Has met a slizzar, who with practically no issues melded with her, mostly on the account of her believing it to be a god. The slizzar leaves soon after realizing that being bonded to Nalesh is actively degrading your status by the hour. The elf feels abandoned by her gods once more, this only fuels her obsession with the occult.
    • 45, Lands in Regalia right before the dread empire declares war.
    • 46, Has avoided being tarred and feathered mostly via the vampire method of avoiding human contact.
      • Wakes up after a bender in the mangled remains of a sofa covered in blood. Develops strange cravings. ( Vampiric Infection )

    Here is my review:

    Skill Information

    • I would recommend looking over your current Proficiencies in the combat sections. A +1 will generally give you bare, bare, bare minimum knowledge of either, but nothing really conductive. For instance, it would give the character a vague concept of how to hold a weapon or vaguely know how to stand, but that's it. I'd suggest throwing those +1s into one of the other combat Proficiencies.
    Personality and Abilities
    • Your second paragraph is a bit long. There's a very lengthy run-on sentence that could be cut down.
    • Give one more sentence in your third paragraph that elaborates on the current last sentence's remark.
    Life Story
    • I would add one to two more personal experiences that would have a long-lasting impact on her character. Think about how they would affect her personality, beliefs and morality.
    Make your edits in a legible red and tag me when you've completed them. @_Grimmy_

    Done and the 1s are there for basic horse riding and spear use being relatively basic enough to understand.

    Only points invested from the pool count. 4 from combat profs + 1/2 bodycare = 5
