Basic Information (Required)
Personality and Abilities (Required)
· Expert in the School of Blackmark- Sylvia has trained since she was 15 by mercenaries who were of Blackmark. The fact that knows how to use the Regis Hander, and knows how to box, fits in perfectly with her rough and dynamic personality, making her a very formidable opponent. She is constantly running around and exercising herself to make her body more resilient and to increase her stamina. She can easily lift her own weight, and is easily able to use the momentum of her own body to move heavy amounts of weight which especially comes in handy when using the greatsword.
· Psychology- With her lust for control, and with the help of the Jedmark military, she has had access to all sorts of knowledge and experience when it comes to learning how a soldier's and a person's mind works. She has learned about combat and guerilla warfare tactics, yet mainly focused on the psychological aspect of them. This has allowed her to figure out how people work, and thus is able to easily manipulate them as she sees fit.
· Authoritating- She can be powerfully composed to even the most stubborn eyes. Her being trained to keep her composure has contributed to her seeming almost "scary" as other have described her when it comes to her giving orders. She will support herself like a well-rounded and proper woman when being idle. This enables her to be rather convincing and can easily get people's when it is needed. She is extremely strong-willed which helps support her commanding stature.
Life Story (Required)
Sylvia was born in Jedmark, Hedryll on July 14th, 268 AC. She is related to one of the military officers of Hedryll. Ever since she has been able to understand the Northerne tongue, she has always been taught to be proud, not because of who she descends from, but because who she is as a person. Life as a child in Hedryll is harsh and cold, and this made her seem a little more masculine when it came to manners or feelings from the abuse of the Northerne life.
As a young child, she was taught simple things, like how to mend clothing and how to sew up wounds. She was also taught how to cook not only for others, but for herself. It wasn't before long that she was required by her father and her elders to begin training in a fighting style. She was provided with a group of mercenaries that were of the School of Blackmark by the Jedmark military after she enlisted. She started training at the age of 15, and just did chores for the mercenaries over the next few years. At the age of 16, she started to build herself to become stronger for the intense training that was to come. During this time, the mercenaries spent many days and nights testing her patience with mentally challenging tasks such as having her arrange a room in a certain way, then change it right after, because they said they didn't like how it looked.
During her mid-teen years, she progressed further in her fighting style, doing her best to focus on being able to carry heavy weight such as solid iron armor. It wasn't until she turned 17 that she progressed to Student in Blackmark. She chose to use a large slashing weapon such as the Regis Hander due it being able to deal heavy blows while still being faster than a two-handed axe or hammer. Even during that time after she had chosen the greatwords, she was still required to do mental tasks and to carry weights on her shoulders.
In her early adulthood (18), she was often sent out to use and practice the use of the Regis Hander as she defended Jedmark from raids and such. During this time, she was put in command over small groups of warriors to push her mental stability and patience to the edge. She spent her time training with these men so she could progress even further with the use of her Great-sword, which helped her further understand how to counteract with opponents in fights. Two of the things they focused on were precise hits and quick responses to an opponent's attacks-- such as hitting the same spot on a piece of wood repeatedly and striking at opponent's openings as she was occasionally on the receiving end of their training. She did this for two years, perfecting her techniques as a wielder of the Regis Hander as she went through the Fighter level.
She was finally considered a Warrior around the age of 22. This was only due to her pure concentration and focus on the fighting style, as such it was the only thing she focused on. She was able to go out and take on a group of two to three at one time, given that she had set up a few distractions, or had some assistance from her comrades. The matter she seemed to focus on most of all was self-control and making sure their hits made their mark.
For the rest of her early adulthood, she went out and traveled all around Hedryll to fight for Jedmark and its interests, as they paid her the most. By the time she reach the age of 32, she had become an Expert and was allowed to return to Jedmark so she could train the next wave of warriors.
She trained others for two years as an Expert in the use of the Regis Hander in the School of Blackmark before she took a single moment to let down her guard. During this moment of her being alone, she was attacked from behind by someone who was less than happy about her killing one of their relatives whom had attacked her the previous day. She responded accordingly to their attack, but when a few guards happened to walk upon the scene, it appeared that Sylvia was the one who had attacked the person that had just attacked her. She was brought to trial for her acts, but Sylvia knew how much influence this person has in the courts, so instead of going through with the trial, she decided to run. Respect for her was immediately lost by all she knew as she was chased out of Jedmark by mercenaries and the Jedmark military.
Over the following days, she knew she had to find a way to get away from those who knew what she was blamed for, and she wasn't willing to stop running, so she never did stop. Eventually she reached a port where she paid off a captain to take her to Regalia.
She eventually made it and she has been in various groups for her sly mouth, her fighting skill, and her strong ability to lead. She currently spends her days looking for those whom might follow her as a band of mercenaries, as well as trying to get anyone to work for her that is worthy of her time.

Personality and Abilities (Required)
- First Paragraph: Sylvia is rather blunt and straightforward. She will do what she wants when she wants which makes her also come off as extremely stubborn. Sylvia is very well beyond the bounds of being a risk-taker, for she believes in acting first and asking questions later. In a situation where she has either the chance to try and talk things out, or solve things with aggressive negotiations (a sword), she would rather use aggressive negotiations.
- Second Paragraph: When it comes to how Sylvia feels on the inside, it really depends on her situation. In a situation that might cause her pressure, she will act extremely confident and will give direct orders to people which makes her commanding. This comes from her training in the Hedrylli Military. In a situation where she is not pressured too much, she will act rather soft and understanding. If someone approaches her calmly, then she will be more than willing to negotiate or talk about whatever they wish to discuss. This is also from the Hedrylli military when they had to create strategic battle scenarios. The only thing she truly fears is loneliness because she hates being idle with nothing to do. Overall, she is very confident in herself when it comes to dealing with high-pressure situations.
- Third Paragraph: Sylvia has three areas where she classifies people: normals, trusted, and family. Normals are the average joe's that walk around on the street that she doesn't know much about, and doesn't trust. She is willing to bend their minds however she sees fit which makes her manipulative. Trusted people are like her friends or allies that is she willing to protect and guard if she doesn't fall to the assurance of certain death. Family are those people that she will die for, and those that she is willing to tell almost anything. When she is comfortable around those she trusts, she tends to act rather goofy and playful. This side of her is her less occuring, free spirited side when it comes to her dual personality disorder. If any of her family members are hurting in any way, she will do her best to find out how she can make them feel better, which can make her seem caring.
- Fourth Paragraph: Sylvia works on her own logically based system. This side of her tends to be her more directive side when it comes to her dual personality. If she doesn't see a way she will profit from something, she will simply not do it. Her being a Blackmark leaves her in a position to not really have a moral code, as such she does what she feels is best during that moment which makes her rather spontaneous. She believes that she must do her best to have power over others so that she can lead them to situations where they will only have a gain. She does not see corruption, vampires, undead, or possessed as bad unless they are a threat to her, or if what they do is not backed up by a logical reason for them to do what they are doing for survival.
