ALYS ROGGAR
GENERAL
Name: Alys Roggar
Age: Twenty Three
Birth Season: Summer
Occupation: Witch | Unpaired Soldier
Citizen Status: Commoner
PHYSICAL
Height: five'five" (5'5")
Weight: 140 lbs
Body Description: Alys isn't very tall nor small in height, standing at five foot five. Her time in the military has kept her toned and fit, her body holding just enough muscle to show the hours of training that she has put in alongside her fellow soldiers. Her skin keeps its tan year round and a few scars are scattered across her arms and legs. Her face holds freckles that dance across her cheeks and nose, fewer popping up arounds her eyes and mouth at random. As per the rest of Nevermere, her hair is black and wild, curls bouncing down to her shoulders and across her forehead. You can find them piled high on her hair during training or long days spent outside. Bright brown eyes hold just about anyone's stare as she keeps full lips closed, taking time to listen more than talk.
PERSONAL
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Reputation: Sound - In her line of work, it's all about being calm. She needs to be confident in her words and sound. She cannot panic or let it be heard in her voice when she has someone screaming through their fears/anger to her on the battlefield. Outside of the battlefield or training grounds, she is self confident. Able to hold anyone's eyes as they speak to her and doesn't have to break away to continue a conversation. No matter how uncomfortable it is. Blame it on her upbringing, but she knows how to take in the situation and outwardly remain absolutely calm (even if its chaos in her mind).
Quick on her feet - So to speak. She is a 'do-now, ask questions later' kind of gal. Not in a panicked way, but she can definitely hurry through a process to try and come to a solution. Though it might not be the best one of that time, she has always been the friend who makes the decision when no one else would step up. Even down to 'what should we eat?'. And if they complained on her choice, well she just told them to speak up next time instead of making her speak up.
Stubborn - Not easily one to back down when she is met head on with her choices. She understands rank and the power of different positions, but she also knows that one is allowed to make mistakes and don't have the right to control her/push her around (at least in her head). Out in the real world, she will let you know all about it. She thinks things out before speaking, and has been told that even though she is about as stubborn as a mule ox, she does listen rather well.
Witty - Though she might not be filled with knowledge like nobles who had years to study academically, she was witty and could keep her own in a conversation. With almost a joke like banter that could easily tip one way or another depending on who was a part of the conversation.
Combat Experience: Formally, eleven years of hand to hand combat & battle ax. She never wanted to lose sight of physical fighting and only uses her magic when she knows it is her best option in a fight. Alys holds off her summonings until absolutely needed, as the sacrifice can take tolls on her when in battle. Instead she sticks to her incantations of telekinesis.
MAGIC
Being a witch, Alys has dabbled a little with each kind of magic. Though her true calling has turned out to be summonings, which would explain some of the scars along her body from her sacrifices. And when she wasn't practicing her summonings, she was trying her best to perfect the usage of her incantations
Level 10 Update: Upon discovering Cassian Rainecourt shifting into his werewolf form for the first time, Alys was injured by him in the event. And with his fresh ability & her prolonged exposure to him, from being part of the King’s Guard, it activated the werewolf curse in her blood (meant to be handed down to any sons she had). Alys can now shift into a werewolf similar to Cassian, standing a little smaller than a normal werewolf would be. She has a dark coat, and gold tufts of hair, or ‘freckles’, sprinkled across her snout. She is lucid in her werewolf form and will be able to shift between human and werewolf form when she wants (after some practice). While speech is needed for spells and other things in witchcraft, she can still shift a man into wolf form before she shifts and keep control over him after shifting. She follows along with some of Cassian’s ‘classic werewolf’ lore: must change on a full moon, more aggressive, anger triggers the change, self-regenerates in wolf form (minor wounds only), and ‘imprinting’.
Level 20 Update: After an encounter in the woods during a full moon, Alys found herself in a sticky situation. With a heavily thought out string of familiar words in her head, an incantation burst from her in her werewolf form. Shocking her to her core. But making her grin shortly after. Alys can now preform the two types of witchcraft she is most practiced in without having to speak out loud; Incantations and Summonings. She has to concentrate on the words in her head to make use of her witchcraft, but she is able to do so in both her human form and wolf form.
HISTORY
Family: Hadriam Roggar - Father | Ysmey Roggar - Mother (deceased) | Krea Baldor - Aunt (paternal side) | Jarin Roggar - Older brother | Ryia Roggar - Older sister | Minos Roggar - Older brother | Xalvador Roggar - Twin brother (deceased)
Tale:
Alys is the last child of Hadriam and Ysmey Roggar. Growing up the youngest meant she had three others looking out for her and pushing her to be stronger and faster. Many times ended with her in tears because she couldn't keep up, her twin brother sitting alongside of her in the same emotional distress. But it was also what drove them to push on, to stand back up and brush themselves off as they tore after the older siblings in an effort to keep up. Alys spent most of her time with Xal, as she called her twin, or her aunt Krea who was still in her teens when the twins were born.
Alys and Xal were an inseparable pair, going through military training or helping alongside their parents out on the boat, helping cast out to bring home food to eat or sell. It was where the family spent most of their time outside of training, and it was where they also lost a huge part of themselves. While trying to make their way back to port one day, they got caught in a bad storm that turned the seas into something completely wild and unforgiving. As hard as they tried to work around the wind and rain, they couldn't stop the brutal waves from lapping over the sides of their ship. It was those waves that would wind up pulling Ysmey & Xal over the edge and into the darkness of the water below them.
By the time the storm had passed, and they made it back into port, the ship was beaten and broken in many ways. But not more than the Roggar family felt broken. At the age of seventeen, Alys found herself completely push herself away from the family. She couldn't bear to see her father the hollow shell that he was, and every time he looked at her face, she knew that all he could see was her twin brother. Her other siblings moved on, but she couldn't, a part of her was lost to the sea and she had to face that whenever she caught a reflection of herself. Instead of mourning, she poured herself into her training. A few months later, when she turned eighteen and was given the choice to move on from the military or continue, she didn't hesitate to continue on the path that made her feel stronger.
Though the wound not as fresh anymore, she knows that its what drives her to keep her distance from those that share the same last name as her. It's also what has driven her to focus on her magic. Even though its not the first thing she goes to when it comes to battle, it is her second line of defense. And she knows she needs to keep that as strong as she can. On her own, she keeps few close to her, those mainly who don't ask her about her brother or look at her with pity or sadness. She prefers it that way, she did what she wanted within the few limits that she kept on herself, nothing that would make her lose her station in the military.
