<div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3c/TattooedAxeWarrior.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Amelie van Alt, Dame of House Berserker<br/><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br/><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong> Lesbian<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br/><br/><strong>Nation:</strong>  Cabista<br/><br/><strong>Combat Class/Role:</strong>  Close-range damage output; distraction; ablative armour for more fragile comrades - i.e. what one might expect from a scion of House Berserker<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>  <em>Biting Retort</em>, her magically durable axe.  <em>Collar of the Wild</em>, a fur collar enchanted to help its bearer resist the effects of temperatures and the elements.  <em>Impenetrable Hide</em>, ensorcelled (light) armour, intended to be impossible to cut - though it only protects some parts of her, and is markedly less useful against impact.<br/><strong>Magic Expression:</strong> Enchanted tattoos.  She can create them for others, but they are appreciably stronger when created by members of her tradition as foci for their own style of magic.  Each requires specific activation, usually by touch; the more effects she has in operation at the same time and the more they are challenged by external magic, the more they drain her physical and mental reserves.  Her primary ones include:<br/>* Eyes of Twilight: see in full colour at night or in black and white when in total darkness; see magic as a glow with the particular colour and brightness matching the type and power of the effect.<br/>* Tears of Experience: resist physical and mental pain, enhanced defence against magical influence or compulsion<br/>* Blades of Light and Shadow: throwing or punching daggers pulled from the tattoos on her thighs, they include 'normal' steel, blades plated in alchemical silver and gold, and cold iron.  She can make them vanish at will, but can only produce them by directly pulling them from their relevant tattoo, and can only have one in existence at any time.<br/>* Shield of Strength: on her right shoulder and upper arm, this taps her reserves of stamina and physical strength to encase her in a shimmering armour of light.  It is exceptionally fatiguing, and only used when she feels it is entirely necessary.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance Details:</strong>  6'0" tall, auburn-haired and fair-skinned athletic warrior.  She looks much more like a stereotypical barbarous 'savage' than most people's conception of a knight of a noble house.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> Brave, sarcastic, thrill-loving.  Honourable in her own way, if not exactly conventionally chivalrous in the manner one might expect of a knight.  Enjoys a good celebration, loves time spent amidst nature, revels in a good fight - but enjoys surprising foes with use of tactics and strategy.  Whenever she can, tries to learn about the places she visits.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong> Though many of her kin had hoped that Amelie would be drawn to a markedly more respectable calling, from an early age it was clear that she was drawn to both the ethos and the magic of her mother's House Berserker heritage.  She served as a page and squire within the House before being knighted; in the comparatively short time since she has gleefully thrown herself into the life of a roving adventuress.  In theory, she seeks out fearsome foes in need of defeat for the greater good... though she is somewhat prone to getting distracted by the prospect of a more straightforward good time instead.<br/><br/>That said, she takes her oaths of service seriously, and quite genuinely sees herself as a protector and servant of not only House Berserker and Cabista, but of the world as a whole.  After all, why limit oneself when in search of excitement and deeds that might go down in legend?<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Details likely to be added; connections welcome.<br/></div>
