Height: 5’11" Personality and Abilities Religion Evintarian Unionism 9/10 Personality Type INTJ Alignment Lawful Evil Life Story Ages 0-20 Veronika was born in the outskirts of the Etosian city of Optikios. Her father worked diligently to keep the family afloat by partaking in the ceremonial wars that were engaged between the Etosian city-states. From a young age she was taught the ways of Evintarian Unionism, with a deep respect for the Etosian Herons, and a distaste towards the Sancellist dogs that ousted the Etosian people from mainland Regalia. Lacking in a formal education beyond readings of Unionist Scriptures and divination, Veronika fell behind her more well-accomplished peers. She had few friends in her youth and spent much of her time alone. During her teenhood, Veronika discovered some joy in running, traversing the mountainous landscapes near the city of Optikios, climbing and enjoying a great freedom of movement, something that she began to include in her nightly prayer. At the age of 18, Veronika departed from her home after a particularly rough fight with her parents, she left with nought but the clothing on her back and lied her way into military service for money. Ages 21-30 During her early twenties, Veronika began to pick up skills in multiple weapons during her time in the ceremonial military of Iraklis, learning rudimentary skills in the handling of many types of blade, polearm and shield so that she may take part in their formations, though she would hardly advance in skill beyond regular handling and combat with each weapon. However, the primary skill she gained from these ceremonial battles was in the art of leadership, and as such she pursued and education of her own in the command of large armies. Proving herself, she would lead in many more ceremonial battles to come. In her mid-twenties, during a ceremonial war between Iraklis and Optikios, Veronika felled her father in single combat with little realisation that it was him, his identity obscured by his helm and armour. She was highly praised for this victory, and was presented before the Supreme Patriarch of Etosil, after which she was tasked amongst others to aid in routing the undead from their countrysides. It was during her time in this group that she trained her eyes more than her body, using her fitness and mobility to act as a scout for her party against the undead, she learned to take note of the finer details in the environment around her. Through this time she was also provided an education in Magical Knowledge, namely the traits and curing of Werebeasts and Sanguine, as a parallel duty to her hunting of undead. Ages 31-40 At the age of 32, Veronika met her husband Leonie, who was also a member of the undead-hunting group, a charming man and fantastic leader, the two fell for each other swiftly and married within the year. Age 33, Veronika's first children are born, the twins Niko and Artesia. Age 34, Veronika's third child is born, Dmitirios. Veronika stepped back from her duties to raise her children through the following few years, until she could have them be raised by a family friend. She wished them to be raised out of the way of combat. At the age of 37, Veronika's husband; Leonie, was felled in battle and his body delivered to the Epitychiménos Cathedral for cremation, but was instead subject to the experiments in the Patriarch's Amulet by the Supreme Patriarch, the first of few successful experiments into the subject. In the following years Veronika shared a tentative peace with her husband's new state, but she was ever cautious of his actions. At the age of 39, he was felled once again in the wars against the Bone Horrors brought upon the land by Lo, Veronika and her children survived the onslaught. Ages 41-43 At the age of 41, Veronika came to Regalia to further her duties to the Unionist Faith, and to discover more of the Sancellist dogs she was raised to hold distaste towards. At the age of 43, Veronika's left hand was severed by a Saivale officer during the Kathar war of 307AC. She was healed, but not the same- she fled back to Etosil. Current (44) Veronika returns to Regalia in the hopes of finding absolution.
@Antimreoir ☼ Staff Review! ☼ Hello, my name is Eccetra and I’ll be reviewing your app today. Which Elf/Human Culture makes up Veronika's Half-Elf race? It's always nice to mention! - While I understand this is a jack-of-all-trades character, there's no reason to have +5 in Linguistic Knowledge, as it doesn't grant any boosts (an extra language) until she reaches +6. I'd recommend either investing the points elsewhere or adding 1 more point! - Grey-black isn't really a valid eye colour! It needs to be something that's available for an Elven race, minus special eyes (so no gold, no black eye whites, etc.) The body build in the visual information section is different to the skills section! You can go ahead and remove it from here. Please mark your changes in another color and tag me when you’re finished!
@Eccetra Edits made. I'd placed the +5 in linguistics knowledge as it's pretty hard to write a legible book with no years invested into learning to write.
You would be looking for Literary Arts for that! Regardless, it's your choice and it doesn't affect approval of the application, so... ☼ Approved! ☼ (Your tag will be updated as soon as Hydralana gets around to it eee)
@Eccetra Made quite a big addition to the Life Story, as well as made some small edits to her Proficiency and Personality sections.
@Eccetra I made a few changes (those in purple) but the tag didn't change. Just wanted to notify you of them. Changelog; Veronika has a dead husband, Leonie Eliopolous, the founder of their family and father to her three children. Veronika has three children, Alexandria, Nicosie and Rhodos, a set of triplets of Etosian Culture and full-ailor heritage.
@Eccetra Modified her proficiencies to include the Unionist Ritualism Skill, at 30 Points to grant all abilities offered. This was taught to her by the Etosian Unionist Deacon in the city of Optikios.
@Eccetra Added Witchbloodism and chosen mutations, as well as the reasoning for such in the current year section of the life story.
@Jonificus Some rather large changes to her proficiencies have been made, small edits to her life story with the reintroduction of Sanktism and the removal of Witchbloodism. - I hadn't played her as a Witchblood, as this was a passing change I wasn't sure of, I hope this is alright.
@Jonificus I have updated and revamped this character as per the Ailor Race update, requesting a re-review as a result of changing to Ailor with Union Blessings.
