Height: 6’2 Face Claim: Alycia Debnam-Carey Spoiler: Art Art: Personality and Abilities The Question List How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness? ♠Anika when she is happy tends to be quite joyful, much more lenient and lax with things. When she is just content her lips pull into a thin closed-lip smile. How would your character respond to experiencing Stress? ♠When Anika is stressed she tends to be mostly calm but over time it builds on itself into a giant wave of paranoia and anxiety. She becomes more rash and lashes out much more than she usually does. She becomes overprotective of her family and tends to question where they are going, their plans, etc. How does your character view Law and Authorities? ♠Anika generally views the law and authorities as necessary, she despises seeing chaos within her bar and land, and the law and authorities is what stops that chaos. She generally hates the corrupt parts of the law and authorities but she tends to leave them be when it's not in her job description to deal with it. How does your character feel about Races other than their own? ♠She is generally indifferent to most races. She herself prefers to surround herself with ailor people but normally doesn't complain when she has to talk to others. Anika though has a deep-rooted hatred for Kathar, mainly due to the dread war and a kathar being the one who killed her and kicked her upside the head when she revived. She also dislikes slizzar greatly, she hates she cannot put trust in them and that she cannot predict what they may do. How does your character feel about Religion for themselves and other faiths? ♠Anika is a generally average unionist, Unionism provides her something to believe in and fight for, but in recent years she dislikes how much it's abused for personal gain and wishes those following the religion could realize what is going on and stop it as a religion. She is not a big fan of other faiths but doesn't plan to kill or burn out of the fact they believe one thing and it's wrong. She despises void worship though as they are the devils of unionism. In recent years she has become more passive to old faith as a woman she loves worships it and she doesn't want to hate something the woman loves. How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world? ♠The Archbloods views the magic and arcane as necessary when it's used in the best interest. She despises reckless usage of it outside of protecting the faith, family, and other things closer to her. She doesn't plan to crusade against either thing as magic is what allows her to live her second chance. Anika though hates her archblood infection, seeing it as a taint on her person. How does your character feel towards their family? ♠Anika loves her family greatly, it being the thing she fights to protect. She despises feeling like she is useless to them and finds constant ways to fill gaps in where she lacks. She may not have the best relationship with some of them but she still loves her family nonetheless. Even if Theopold should lose vocal cords for learning how to yodel. What is your character the proudest of about themselves? ♠Anika is very proud about her combat skill. Despite the traditional view of women in Genevaud she likes she can protect her family and herself without having to rely on others. She understands that not everyone will save her and sometimes you need to save yourself. What motivates your character to move forward and better their life? ♠Anika knows before her revival she was a rude and horrible person, she was childish and ignorant, something she hates to be to this day. After being brought back she grew up in a sense, understanding she is not invincible and can be killed and that she just got lucky. She hopes in the future she can continue to improve despite her hiccups here and there. What is your character's biggest insecurity? ♠She is very insecure about her misunderstanding of some things. She has never been that politically strong despite her smart and witty moments. She has tried in the past to understand politics further and not leave her younger brother out alone in the political world, though since she fell short in learning politics she now just stands to be Theopold's sword when needed. Though that is recently, she learned from a young age how to deal with politics as till Theopold came along and showed promise, she was going to be the one being diplomatic. After Theopold showed promise, she dropped these qualities and picked up the sword. What is your character's biggest fear? ♠The Kreiburg fears to be alone, she doesn't want to die around strangers and live alone. From choosing combat as her choice over the traditional views of genevaud she felt very alone, and more isolated when she went to Feer Drakken. Anika has been alone a lot of her life and has grown to hate it, hoping for someone to sit by at events and parties and as well throughout life. When Kreiburg left for Regalia she felt alone once more despite having some family around her, being alone is what brought her to Regalia, following her family. She even greatly fears it now after dying alone on a battlefield, despite the fact she came back to life, how she died still sends some shivers down her spine. The Core List Character Alignment: Neutral Evil Personality Type: The Defender (ISFJ-T) Religion: Unionist (5/10) Life Story ♠Anika Lysandra Kreiburg was born in Genevaud alongside her twin brother Theopold Kreiburg. Her mother was much more of the relaxed Genevaud compared to her father, so she stuck with her father for a large portion of her earlier life. Theopold showed more diplomatic promise while Anika showed to be promising in the more physical aspect. At a young age Anika became uncomfortable with the standard put on her as a genevaud girl, she didn’t exactly fit in well with the more lax stay at home style. At an oddly young age Anika began to demand physical training, in swords, and other talents. She would chase servants around with a wooden sword and also Theopold to prove her point in the fact she was a warrior and not a dainty girl, she continued this until she got a tutor. Also her Heartland Ceardian Grandmother vouched for her case which helped her get the tutor and later on support from her family to go to a combat school. ♠At the age of 10 Anika met her tutor, a burly man who she labeled as void spawn for the tutoring process. The man who tutored her was a Feer-Drakken graduate, very straightforward with his teaching technique and rarely sugar coated things for Anika. Her training started easy to build up muscle for her before it then became what Anika remembers as chaos. She wasn’t really ever given breaks, she would at 12 begin hiking the genevaud mountains carrying supplies on her back that varied in weight each day. At 14 she began climbing the mountains and using an axe to work on chipping away at trees each day. Her father technically gave her what she wished, if she truly wanted to do this, she would bear with the training. Her father early on in her training doubted how long her determination would last. She began to develop a burly body shape and a stronger mind, her training was barely as intensive as Feer-Drakken’s but was suited for her age. She knew she wasn’t as smart as Theopold and didn’t have the route, she was way too reckless to stay at the castle minding her days with a book by the fire, so becoming stronger and this training was her outlet. At 17 the ‘void spawn’ finally decided she was decently well equipped, she was well built and tall due to the advantage of her being well off financially, she also was decently good at a sword. ♠After all the training was over, Anika wasn’t sure what to do, training was such a big part of her life growing up and the cycle being broken felt wrong. One evening she consulted with her father about going to a combat school, she automatically advocated for Feer-Drakken, in her mind she already went through some training similar and was well built enough to ignore any limit of her weight. Anika debated for weeks with her father on this matter, she used what she knew of being mature to debate her case and eventually win. Her grandmother Ervina who also was skilled with the blade, but was not a Feer Drakken graduated vouched for her against her son to help Anika go to a combat school. She made great points and also referenced to her time at Bloodcast. She then spent the next couple days waiting patiently for a letter, she had written the previous week to her former tutor about a recommendation to Feer-Drakken for her, she knew her gender would be an obstacle in getting into the school so she tried her best to rally enough for her cause that could help her get in. She eventually got a reply that the tutor agreed, he later submitted the recommendation while the Kreiburgs prepared a sum of money to add onto the tuition for Anika. She applied to Feer-Drakken with a recommendation, decent skill, and some financial strength behind her to make the appeal of her being there greater to them. She eventually got to go and show her skills, she opted for a large claymore for her test, knowing the school preferred heavier weapons and that was what she specialized in. Anika got in barely, she couldn’t believe she did originally, but then ran around the Kreiburg property screaming she got in. She drank with the servants who assisted her in victory and even her tutor came with, but he made sure to remind Anika of how tough the training was. Anika though was honestly too drunk to remember most of his words and such. ♠At 18 she set off for Feer-Drakken with her claymore and a small amount of luggage. Arriving at Feer-Drakken Anika’s excitement equaled her paranoia of it all. She found that a lot of the Feer-Drakken teachers and students sneered at her for her gender, which fueled her anger and her anxiety as well. Anika’s ability to keep up with the training began to drop the more the sneering hurt her, she drank through her nights and threw the pillows of her lodgings across the room countless times. Eventually during an April 16th festival herself, a red fire dragon student sparred with those of her same house, but she found herself doing much better than she originally expected. After going through so much hatred towards herself and anxiety she nearly lost what fire she had, and finding out she could match those of her house so easily she regained her fire. She spent the rest of the night pummeling her classmates into the ground in spars while also receiving the equal amount of hits but she didn’t care. After the festival she held her head high once more, her determination back. She then spent the next three years working as hard as she could, she no longer fell behind in training as she once did and actually did well. Of course the bullying picked up again but much more harsh this time around. She did spars and someone would say she did something against the rules which caused her then automatic defeat. ♠After Anika’s chaotic experience at the school she became guarded, more closed off than she was before with her anxiety returned. She graduated Feer-Drakken barely in perfect state to be a soldier, but her mind crackling and struggling to move forward. Anika spent the next april 16th drowning herself in wine in the secluded library of the Kreiburg castle, crushed as she sat there yelling and kicking the small table near her, then kicking the wall before yelping in pain and collapsing into a ball of tears. Theopold then went in and sat by her side listening to her drunkenly ramble of what happened and her other experiences at Feer-Drakken. Somehow in the end she survived Feer-Drakken by the skin of her teeth. After her graduation at 24 she spent the next month building herself back up to be mentally strong as she use to be and also somewhat physically. During the next four years she sat in Genevaud she grew close to a scholar named Alun. They both would talk frequently inbetween Anika's small training sessions. The duo soon were close enough to be considered courting. Anika was happy she had found someone to love after her chaos in feer drakken. When the dread war began Anika went to join, Alun gifting her a necklace with a bear tooth as good luck. ♠She then went to participate in the Dread war, she was caught in the Massacre of the Lurlavan Forest which resulted in her death from Wolond. While Anika was being lugged back as a casualty she woke up and proceeded to strangle the nearby soldier before then getting knocked out by another soldier. Anika dragged herself back to Genevaud after the battle mentally shook and in a fury of anger. Anika also arrived home in search for Alun, not finding her. She grew worried as a letter then arrived at her doorstep, Alun had passed while Anika was out at war. She collapsed into a sea of sorrow and anger, she grew rash and more of an alcoholic than she had originally been. She began to rival even the drunkards at the town in terms of drinking and sparred until she couldn't spar anymore. In the midst of this she went through the Uplifting, after this she began to worship more than she did before, though still somewhat angry that the spirit didn't save her and that it was the dragons. Though she became angry again because she was reminded of her time in the war and had to handle new abilities. When she turned 30, Kreiburg began moving to Regalia, she followed along much later since she felt hesitant to leave her safe space, the castle. Eventually she joined the Inquisition when it was much more for Kreiburg and better than what it was that day, later leaving to just tend to the Wunderbar. She’s proud of how much Theopold has done for the family and proud of how she has survived so much stress and trials in her journey to get to where she is now. Though she still presently have some issues being in a room alone with a man and other things. Anika during her time in Regalia met Tove, originally anxious of allowing herself to have feeling for someone again after losing someone she loved before, though she soon grew confident enough to ask to court Tove. Now she sits anxiously, paranoid of what may be done to Kreiburg or herself due to recent events.
@apath Made her a Villiers-Eclaire Matrias Dame. I also changed her preferred weapon from a Claymore to a Flamberge Blade.
@booette Hello! :D I rewrote her backstory to fit a new combat school and also touched up the aesthetics some. I also removed Inventory and Extra Information since I'm right now short on gifs and needed them elsewhere. :D Tagged it re-review due to the whole lifestory rewrite, Feer-Drakken primarily accepts males but females are insanely rare and need a solid reason and way in so I redid the life story to help make it run smoothly.
Bumping my thread, wanting to get the lifestory change approved before I use the term feer-drakken for her too much in rp.
@Shibani Please tag me once you've made these changes. -Your character's height is above the racial height limit. -It is highly out of character for a staunchly Genevaud family to invest so much time, effort, and money into teaching their daughter combat and even sending her off to a strictly masculine combat school, considering their gender roles. -Considering the school's strict curfew and oversight, a student getting murdered, even accidentally by other students would not be as glossed over as your backstory implies it to be. It appears to happen, the other students watch as she retaliates against one of them, and then she continues her schooling without any trouble from the school as to why she suddenly has glowing green eyes and powers. -The public connection between Witchbloods and Dragons is only a very, very recent development, and it's more than likely that she would have gotten kicked out instantly upon her revival, especially as a woman. I highly, highly suggest you have her transform after graduating.
Okay, I will move her death to after graduation and tone down her time at feer drakken. Gotta get to my computer first.
I made the changes in red. Regarding the height, I put she inherited the gene from her grandmother, Ervina, a heartland ceardian. I also went to include Ervina in the new edits to the life story. Though if I need to put her as 6'2 instead of 6'6 I am okay to make the change if Ervina wouldn't influence her height. @birdsfoot violet
@Shibani In that case, I will concede using the average rules for height caps, allowing her to be 6'4 at max. All other changes are acceptable, and I will approve after that edit.
Cavalry due to never probably going to be used was swapped to command tactic since I'd use that way more. ^-^ I never did any rp regarding cavalry so it shouldn't affect anything. I also filled out the questions list for personality to prevent any out of character actions for her in the future in progressions.
Fixed, I thought Strength Training was doubled, I think it was when you guys were working on it, and i never changed it.
