Spoiler: Pagan Abilities Pagan Ritualism: The Character can write/read/speak/understand Old Makdth, the ritualistic Pagan Language. They can use Old Makdth Script to create ritualistic scriptures, tomes, tattoos and engravings that light up with a turquoise glow when: another Old Makdth Ritualist Power is used in Emote Distance, with the snap of the fingers from the Ritualist who applied them, or when near a graveyard or burial ground. The Character can carve ritualistic engravings into bones, which will prevent them from decaying naturally with time, and harden them, allowing them to be sharpened into weapons of iron-tier quality. These engravings can additionally glow a ghostly turquoise at night. The Character can use natural paint dust (ochre for example), weaving it through the air and applying it to walls to form animal, plant and myth based cave-painting-like depictions on any wall or floor or ceiling surface. Furthermore, they can also animate them (for example, cause a horse that was painted to gallop in place) The Character can enter an ethereal ghost-like state. They appear translucent and turquoise in color, with solid white glowing eyes. While in this state, the character is immune to Non-Ability Projectiles and Non-Ability Attacks, excluding Puretek. The Character additionally cannot attack others, and can move through walls but only float at a sluggish half-walk-speed pace. As soon as they re-form, they cannot re-enter this state for another 24 hours. In this state, they cannot hear anything or speak. This Ability cannot be used in the Prison or in the Palace. The Character can summon ghostly appearances of any person's deceased loved ones, but these apparitions only appear waist up and are stagnant/un-moving, they cannot be animated in any way or say anything, and stare out straight forward. The Character can also speak in the voice of a deceased loved one of another person, as long as they are within Emote Distance of the target. The voice and image chosen are at random, unless the Ritualist is specifically aware of one to choose. The Character can apply Pagan Marvash Mutations to either themselves or others who are willing, and reverse them, as long as they have been applied in the past week. Additionally, the character can painlessly remove Monster mutations from a willing subject through a 1 hour ritual. The Character can activate the Sense of the Dead, which causes them to be followed by the faint whispers and muttering of the dead, random dead souls speaking unfinished tales, unfinished business and lives not lived. The Character can turn into a turquoise ghostly Wolf, Bobcat, Deer, or Ram with white glowing eyes and move as if this animal, while speaking as if humanoid. They can stay in this state for as long as they want, or until they are physically hurt. This state carries over any Pagan Mutations they may have applied, appearing on the ghostly animal as well, while respecting their form.

Piety: 10/10 Life Story Birth & Childhood Sezja came from a strong line of fishermen and carpenters. Life was simple, and her parents dreamed that it would always stay that way. The only thing close to a warrior in her family was her uncle Semanyns, who she named as Sammy when she was too young to pronounce anything very well. He wasn’t even a fighter; he tended the wounds of the men in the village who came back from raids in tatters. While the young girl had a penchant for the arts, such as drawing and writing, she was much too quiet to share her talents with her community. Eventually, her parents sorted out one of her uncles’ bond men to teach her the art of combat so that she would have a new passion; something to bring out her personality a bit more. Adolescence & Teenage Years Early on in her adolescence, their small village was raided by a neighboring tribe of Velheim. Ruthless in their warpath, they burned down Sezja’s home while she was asleep. All of her family escaped, but when it came to finding Sezja, all they found was a body underneath a pile of rubbish. With intervention from her uncle, Sezja began to breathe again even though most of her bones had been broken. Her survival was seen as divine intervention by most of her family and village friends. Her training to become a Valsung started a week after. The young girl had survived death itself, but the reactions around their small town were mixed. Some were wary of how she managed such, but many looked on to her like she was a blessing. A proper Valsung to protect the dead who had, at one point, been dead? It was fitting. Adulthood It was nearing Sezja’s twenty-fifth birthday when she found out about the issues the Velheim in Regalia were having. She knew that this must be a sign to change, so Sezja headed to the Isles to work to protect her people.
