She's never had a chance to draw a magical weapon, but she believes it must sound like a symphony.<br/><br/>Icons: The Emperor (2, Positive), The Crusader (1, conflicted)<br/><br/>Backgrounds:<br/><br/>Trained to be in the Militia +3<br/>Apprenticed as a Merchant's Guard +2<br/>Grew up in the Imperial Village of Hastenhall +3<br/><br/>Class Features<br/><br/>Extra Tough (Start with nine recoveries instead of eight)<br/>Threatening (WHenever an enemy disengages, they take a penalty equal to CON/DEX (whichever higher)<br/><br/>Talents:<br/>Comeback Strike (1x/battle, make another attack at -2 if the first fighter attack misses)<br/><br/>Heavy Warrior (2x/Battle, when hit by an attack that targets AC, as free action, take only half damage from that attack)<br/><br/>Power Attack (1x/battle, declare to use Power Attack, if it hits, do an extra 1d4 damage per level)<br/><br/>Feats<br/><br/>(Racial):Quick To Fight (Roll Initiative twice, choose which one<br/>(Human Bonus):Heavy Warrior Adventurer Tier (Use Heavy Warrior 2x/battle)<br/>(1st Level): Blade's Song Adventurer's Tier (Deadly Assault), re roll 1's and 2's instead of just 1's<br/><br/>Maneuvers:<br/><br/>Blade's Song<strong>(Deadly Assault, Flexible, Can trigger on any natural Even Hit)</strong>, reroll any 1's or 2's on damage roll, stuck with reroll.<br/><br/>Blade's Tempo<strong>(Carve an Opening, Flexible, can trigger on any natural odd roll)</strong>, melee crit range expands by 1 (cumulative) this battle until a critical melee hit (then goes back to normal)<br/><br/>Blade's Crescendo<strong>(Heavy Blows, Flexible, can trigger on any natural even miss</strong>), Gain a bonus to miss damage equal to the escalation die.<br/><br/><strong>Story:<br/><br/>Thalia Bladesong grew up with two desires. To avenge the death of her mother (a militia member killed in an Abyssal raid), and to join the Crusader in battling back the forces of the Abyss. Her weapon trainers noted that she took to the blade naturally, and always had a knack for picking out the best weapon in a lot. When pressed on how she knew how a blade's quality just by drawing it, she just shrugged and stated that she judged a weapon on how it sang to her.<br/><br/>She trained and was a member of Hastenhall's militia, when she received notice that a band of Crusaders were holding a martial tournament to enlist new warriors into the Crusade, and she headed to the port of Thunder Bay to enlist in the Tournament.<br/><br/>While she wasn't the best fighter involved in the tournament, she acquitted herself honorably. However, she noticed that the other participants were all male. When she stood in front of the Crusader who had sponsored the tournament for judgement, the Crusader just laughed, and suggested that she would be better served as a camp follower for "true Crusaders" and not have her "pretty face" disfigured.<br/><br/>Disgusted with the chauvinistic attitude, Thalia left without speaking a word, and rejoined the Militia, practicing even harder, in preparation for traveling across the Empire. This time, her desire to join the Crusade was replaced by another desire.. to show the Crusade what they had missed out on by mocking her.</strong><br/>
