Caitlyn Ballister Alignment: Lawful Good Gender: Female Age: 24 Occupation: Noble/ Paladin Residence: inner sanctum mansion. APPEARANCE Spoiler: click to toggle Height: 5'7 Weight: 125 lbs Build: muscular Origins: Divine Race: Human Eye Colour: Green Hair Colour: Auburn Unique Features: A birth mark between her shoulder blades of a holy symbol, a birth mark shared by everyone in her lineage. Attire: Usually in her armor (light plate armor, considered medium class armor,) though if she must attend a formal event she will wear a fancy dress. Doesn't mean she likes it. PERSONALITY Likes: Battle, reading, music, good food, good people, being social Dislikes: Cruelty, evil people, corruption, cheap alcohol, dressing up Hobbies: Reading, spending time comforting the sick, patrolling the noble district Aspirations: To erase cruelty from the world Fears: Falling to corruption PERSONAL HISTORY House Ballister built their fortune on demon hunting during Sanctum's infancy. Venturing out to clear the dwellings of wicked beasts brought them treasure and wealth beyond what they or future generations knew what to do with, but they found great pride in their work and continued on well into the following generations. From childhood Caitlyn was taught both proper schooling and the way of paladins. By eight years old she was diligent in her studies, able to both swing a sword without hurting herself as well as recite the works of Shakespeare. She was a social butterfly, able to get along with anyone who came to her parent's parties. She absolutely despises dressing up, but she tolerates it because she enjoys the company of others. However she much preferred donning her armor and hitting the training grounds or curling up in her pajamas with a book in her bedroom. To this day she is diligent in her duty, but she understands that not all demons are wicked, while not all divine beings are good. She strikes at the actions of an individual rather than their race or social standing. SKILLS Swordsmanship: A shield and sword has never failed her in battle, and she is quite proficient with them. Reflexes: A life of combating the forces of evil has left her with a heightened instinct for danger, allowing her to react almost before danger comes her way. Her reflexes are not inhuman, but are at the peak of human capability. Reading: She loves literature, and not just holy texts. She is able to find the subtle clues and subtext in writing, giving her a skill in decoding things. POWERS 2x strength, 2x speed: Her connection to the divine grants her great physical capabilities and she uses them to destroy the wicked and protect the innocent. Blessing: She has the ability to give blessings, giving something a divine aura to it. A blessed weapon will lose its effect after a time unless it stays in her possession so blessing another character's weapon to help her combat undead will only last until they part ways. Something that she blesses will make it harm undead, or more specifically it will cause a burning pain in the wound and keep it from healing quickly at lower levels of healing (non-milestone enhanced). If she blesses a sick or injured person, they will receive no healing at base level but they will feel a great comfort to ease their suffering. A healthy person that is blessed will just have a better chance of being in a good mood. A wound suffered by a blessed weapon will not kill unless it would have been a fatal wound to a normal human anyway. Only effects undead. POSSESSIONS Being a noble, she has a great supply of wealth though she only buys simple luxuries. She does not see the need for velvet drapes and silk covered furniture. Her manor is filled with comfortable but simple furniture and dishware. Light plate armor, a small armory of swords and shields for when the one she is using breaks. She keeps a dagger at her lower back in case of emergencies. RELATIONSHIPS THREAD TRACKER Edited by Tyrade, Oct 12 2014, 02:15 AM.

It's good to be the King.

So this part is a bit confusing. This nonlethal wounds thing only effects demons and the undead? Or are you saying other than Undead and Demons people won't die from anything but an immediately fatal wound? |

It is meant to say that a demon or undead would not be instakilled if struck by the sword. It needs to deal a lethal blow in order to kill them despite holy power. |

___Would you serve in Heaven,___ or rule in Hell?

Her Strength modifier needs to come down to 2x and if her reflexes are above human levels they need to be listed in her powers rather than skills. I am a little fuzzy on the Blessing, specifically on weapons, I am assuming that Caitlyn is able to infuse a blade to do divine damage as well as normal damage? If that is the case, not all demons and undead are susceptible to divine energy. I would be a lot more comfortable if the ability inflicted Divine damage against everything rather than specifics in this case. The other issue I have is blanket 'keep it from healing quickly'. A Vampire for example is balanced and pays quite a lot to have a blood fueled regeneration. Being able to slow or halt another characters ability to regenerate against two entire origins, even on a small scale, is a significant power that is not going to balance with the character physical enhancements. This ability is very different to a resistance or immunity where you try to shrug off something another character can do. You are trying to stop something, at a fundamental level, of what the other character is ~ and that is not going to exist without some serious Milestone investment in a character. |
