Character name: Eva

Profession: Necromancer

Biography:

Part 1:
Well, her backstory is super long and I'll link you to the full thing if you actually care enough to read a long story I wrote a couple years ago. However, to summarize:
As a child, her parents were forced to turn her over to a gang due to her father's gambling debts. There, she was fused with a demon, which required a pure soul to join with a new host, and who the gang worshipped. It promised to protect her, and to come whenever her rage reached a certain point. Immediately after the ritual, she killed everyone in the gang and escaped, without having any control over herself. As she left, she was given the scythe, which she still uses, and had belonged to her father.
The story picks up years later, Eva is slowly losing control over the demon and she is well known as an evil monster to be feared. In reality, she is a shy, caring person, but people who want the bounty for killing her keep pushing her rage to its limits and forcing her to kill unwillingly. She meets a man named Xander who offers her a way to rid herself of the demon. She's skeptical, but agrees to try. At his mansion, she meets a man named Ian, trapped in the basement, who explains Xander's actual plan. Xander attempts to release the demon permenantly in order to make it serve him. He succeeds in modifying her scythe to force the demon out while she holds it, but fails to gain control over her and is killed. Ian rescues her, and the two of them set off to find another method of ridding her of the demon. They meet up with...someone(his name is escaping me atm, sorry:-\), and he offers her a way to enter her own mind and attempt to fight the demon. The winner gains permenant control of her body. Long story short, she loses and the demon takes full control.

Part 2:
Forward a few years again, Eva has taken control of much of the country and infects people, causing them to become minions who do whatever she asks. Ian begins a small resistance, saving who he can. Another resistance group consisting of Pierce, Jade, Sam, and Vincent. Making this part very short since this is already going on too long for this post...The five of them are converted to Eva's minions and they find that the leader of the resistance group had actually been using them to capture Eva and extract the demon for himself. Ian manages to regain control from Eva with just enough time to stop him before he can fuse with the demon, but Eva has lost too much blood and dies. Those who had been recently infected were able to fully recover. Those who had been long infected began to wander aimlessly and attacking without purpose.

Part 3:
(I haven't written this part yet...so this is just an outline...which I guess is what I wanted the first two parts to be anyway...)
Again, much time has passed, and Ian is on his own in the wild, arguing with himself whether the world is really any better off now than it was with Eva in control of the minions. He spends all of his time fighting these minions, and eventually, he gives in to his love for Eva and vows to find a way to bring her back. He digs up Eva's corpse and brings her to where she had been killed. He then performs a ritual to refuse the demon with her, bringing her back to life. Summarizing as much possible, again, the demon is once again in control, but Ian is able to find a way to send the demon back into her mind and allowing her to regain the majority of control. Of course, the people are skeptical of her, but promise to leave her alone if she leaves the country. So, she leaves, for Ascalon, where noone has yet heard of her...

Eye color: greyish-blue

Characteristics: the hair looks more of a gray color in the pictures...but it's actually meant to be silver. She's in her late 20s, I haven't decided on a specific age due to lack of caring about one:P

Reference: http://s1087.photobucket.com/albums/j474/lilepdude/

Extra preferences: erm, none really, the demon is vampiric, so she's able to grow fangs and her eyes have a red glow while the demon has control, plus some small claws...but while she's in control, there's really not much other than what's in the screenshots.

Full backstory for those of you who are crazy...:

excuse any awkward bits, I'm certainly no author, and I was even less of one when I wrote them, lol

STORY

Eryn grew up in sunny Istan, Elona, under the watchful gaze of the Sunspears. She never knew her parents, having been abandoned as a baby, and what little the Sunspears knew, they would not tell her. She soon grew to be a pretty young lady, adored by all, and her talent in fighting and leading did not go unnoticed. Before long, she was initiated and leading troops into battle against the dark power that was rising.

Abaddon's grip on Elona was strong, and those who finally rid the land of his grip paid a terrible price - paid in the currency of innocence, laughter, compassion and the lives of others. More and more, Eryn withdrew into herself, allowing no strong bonds for fear of losing them anew.

After Abaddon was defeated, the victorious humans persuaded his dark forgemasters to craft powerful weapons for them. Eryn, then an aspiring young warmarshal and one of those who battled the dark god himself, was of the first to recieve a spear that pulsated with Abaddon's feverish power. To draw on this power soon gave her comfort, strenght and supremacy in battle. She found herself cherishing the spear's sinister perfection of both craftsmanship and handling. The darkness captured in the weapon however was not meant to be wielded by humans, and it creepingly started to corrupt her body.

The darkness spread inside her and gradually split her skin to reveal the dark power of Abaddon himself. Although the transformation was horrifying and painful at first, Eryn found that her strenght increased and zealously refused to give up the weapon. She did not age like ordinary humans anymore, and grew lonly and remote on her long hunts. And the darkness continued to expand.

After what felt like years, she was finally summoned by the new godess Kormir and scalded for her selfish behaviour. Kormir told her that if the corruption was not stopped soon, she would turn into a Margonite like the those that had been tempted by Abaddon's power before. Kormir placed runes on her skin to seal the darkness inside Eryn and set an end to its expansion. The changes however could not be reversed, and so Eryn is still out there hunting for dark creatures, an envoy of the Nightfallen Lands

Agreed!

Ack I wish I had a single "main" OC. Except for my Aion Ranger, none of my characters have developed back stories and most only have a general personality and appearance. Q___Q

Death By An Arrow · Apr 06, 2011, 07:36 PM // 19:36

Such an epic story morag. Im not one to make backstories for my characters, just not my thing, but I deffinatly think Eryn's is epic.

Also, in 1a), that Nightfall poster-style picture is absolutely amazing O.O So epic.

Ravenhawk · Apr 06, 2011, 08:07 PM // 20:07

@Morag - lol I can totally relate to that >_>

@Araiia - Saw your ranger. She looks pretty and yeah the bow looks badass. I played Aion too. Damn good character creation.

Random:
Although Omens hasn't posted in this thread (yet):
Kimi and Aki (Omens' rit/assassin) would make a great crossover artwork lol

and I think Mina and Eryn would get along though they are not exactly the same, they have many tangents in their personality and life experience (I know I should've put more on Mina and Ran's storyline but they all span several posts in our forums. That's what 6 years of RPing did to them lol)

haha yes - for one, she doesn't age anymore, and both her sons are grown up (Elgyr, the older one, actually looks older than she does), ergo mortal men all have a best before date in her opinion; and secondly, she doesn't stay around the same people for long anyway. I was surprised I actually decided to give her children at all

Same considering Margonites (what she's turning into) are all sterile.

Verene · Apr 07, 2011, 02:40 AM // 02:40

Magic! No explanation needed.

And now I want to fill in one of those long detailed survey-type things for my characters. Though Farai has a pretty short and non-detailed backstory - at least for one of my characters.

Been getting in to art trying my own hand at it. Haha not quite as good as some. But Yeah I'm willing to try. Here is my Info:

Character name: Anolie Midknight
Profession: Elementalist
Biography: Well let’s start off on how to pronounce this Name. Ann-O-lee. Where did it come from? Well I was trying to think of a name and When I was browsing my Books and Pull a Romance Novel Out. It was one about A Scottish Family with the last name Anolie. And I thought I was a beautiful Name and gave it to my experimentalist. Well let’s start off on how to pronounce this Name. Ann-O-lee Mid-night. She was born in the fire islands. To two Hydra Farmers, Alliella and Dryden. They lived outside of the Ember light camp. They perfected the Hydra riding/races. And it's very popular today. Anolie as she was growing up she discovered what is considered a Blessing among her people. Her hand started to glow, and she can work magic threw them. She has learned to make the four elements of the world move to her calling, earth, wind, fire, and water-Elementalist! So being one of the women of the tribe with this power she got to travel with her family all over to the biggest towns. All but the towns into the desert for they were forbidden.

Small story i wrote:
She was trained by Cynn herself back in the days. Until she grew old enough and Cynn cast her out due to the fact Menhlo. She did survive the Searing only to discover she was to travel and set the world back in rights again. She traveled all over the land Of Tyria and when her Journey had ended. Cynn called upon her once again and asked her to Travel to Cantha with Menhlo to help figure out why People were turning in to Monsters. There she met many new people and Made some New Friends. When she was forced to choose which side of the faction to be on. She decided to hear each side of the story and figure out which side she wanted to fight for. It was very hard at first. She stayed with the Luxons for a good 2 years. Once she could do no more over there. She decided to travel to House Zu Heltzer. And once she got there she proposed a peace offering between the factions and explained they needed to work together to being down Monster that the one and Only Shiro had created. There somewhat peaceful alliance fulfilled what she had hoped and they were able to defeat Shiro as one nation. Anolie decided she needed a vacation. So Cynn told her about a ship that was leaving for a little island Called Istan. It was supposed to be tropical with lots of beaches and friendly Natives. What no one told her about was the Pirates, or the Undead, OR the fact the Sunspears and Leader of Korna where in a battle." That Evil witch knew this was going to happen" thought Anolie. So Kormir asked Anolie to help get rid of the Influence of Abbadon and Veresh. Decided to spite Cynn she decided to help. So she got some new Friends Koss, Melonni, Talkhora, Dunkoro. They traveled and It seems everywhere She went she gained more allies. She even met the Princes of Vabbi. (Rich scared cats.) Then made it the Realm of Torment. "I could see why my mum told me scary stories of this place when I was younger" thought Anolie. She was going thru the Realm and found two past enemies she helped dispose of. She stated... "Oh the God Help me, Shiro and the Lich I thought I had disposed of you." Shiro said "Oh you little Girl I am Shiro you cannot be rid of Me." the Lich just laughed. This irritated Anolie show she and Her New friend decided the time was now. And officially disposed of these Vile Creatures. And Kormir (the blind leading the blind) lead us to Abbadon's Gate. Where Anolie and Her allies fought the Dreadful Abbadon and Sent is god like ass back to the Netherlands!

Other Character Details:
Anolie Have glowing hands that changes with her mood or the elements she controls. She very moody, but has a big Heart. She usually wears sunglasses for she grew up in the fire islands and it's always bright.

Eye color: Blue
