Name: Alyssa Lightshield
Alias: Ali, Lyssa
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Nationality: Zailleon
Appearance: Alyssa is a girl of average height, around 5'6, with muscled arms and battle-worn hands. Scars mark her face and shoulders from both the burden of a sword and the heat of battle. She has long red hair, falling at her shoulders, with bangs that sweep over her left eye. Her eyes are bright sapphire blue, set into an eternally stern expression. She has a piercing on the left of her nose, and another on her left eyebrow that is set in the center of a long scar that runs from just over her eyebrow to the corner of her mouth.
ARMOR
Shoulders: Purple crystals embedded into silver borders guard Alyssa's shoulders. Electricity sparks through the crystals like lightning, charged with magic to add extra protection. In the center of the crystals on both shoulders a large blue orb glows brilliantly, the electricity feeding into them and holding more purple crystals hovering and rotating around the gems.
Torso: The chest plate is different shades of purple as well. A triangle shaped piece centers itself around the collar bone, with silver bordering and detail around the edges. A pointed plate arrows downward at the belt. Strips of blue with silver edging slant downward around to the back of the chest plate with silver link detail through the middle of them. The arms have several layers of armoring on them and at the elbows simple chain mail is found to make bending the arms possible as well as at the waist.
Waist: A single purple gem embedded in silver plating shines brightly at the center of the buckle, two diamond shaped, blue pieces of armor falling to each side to make up the belt itself.
Gloves: The fingers are blue shingles until the base of the last knuckle where silver plate takes over. Above the wrist, the gauntlets widen and the silver gives way to more purple plate with silver detailing. Some gold also swirls with the silver.
Legs: A blue downward arrow surrounded by black, purple, and silver armor are the base of the armor for the legs, ending at the inside of the thighs. Purple crystals comprise the leg armor with a few raised bits for added protection, each with silver edging to prevent slide-through. At the knees, two blue bits guard the tender area, and silver plating bends to allow movement. Two purple gems are pushed into the shin guards and encased only by a different color of purple gem.
Feet: Dark purple, nearly black boots cover the feet. Silver surrounds the top of the boots around mid-calf and a single silver strap buckles into place at the knee guard, connecting the two pieces of armor securely.
Head: A majestic purple helm rides atop the head of the armor. A skilled cut provides the necessary slits for speaking and breathing, and the wide window cut near the upper half is perfect for a good field of vision. At the edges of these windows silver is laid in for effect. Small white horns run over the top of the helm in a line from the front to the back (yeah, like a Mohawk), and two longer, curved horns reach out on both sides.
Cape: Dark, dark purple, almost black, with silver threading
CASUAL
Alyssa usually wears tailored silk shirts, of which she has many colors. She wears long coats over these shirts for the most part, unless the weather calls for leaving it at home. Her favorite is a red coat with gold detailing around the edges. In general, her pants are brown leather, worn and comfortable, but well-fitted nevertheless. Her shoes are usually either brown or black leather boots, and she does not wear gloves unless she feels she may need to use a sword. At her side is a thin silver sword with a gold handle, and a single ruby at the base of the blade.
Personality: Alyssa is a smart person, and isn't afraid to prove it to you. She's got a very loud personality, and doesn't mind being the weird one that everyone raises their eyebrow at. She is very confident, sometimes too much for her own good, and very prideful as well. Those two traits get her into trouble much of the time, but for the most part she doesn't hear much about it, though it could be because people are too annoyed by her to speak their mind and risk a conversation. Generally, when they do speak up, she takes it all in good humor. Her sense of humor is good, as long as you don't push her too far. She doesn't play well with others for the most part, so it's best not to get on the wrong side of her and expect help anytime soon. She has really good concentration skills though, so her quarrel's with another person won’t distract her from the task at hand. She is good-natured, outgoing, and a little on the wild side at times. Alyssa is most definitely not afraid of those around her or their thoughts, and certainly not afraid to try something new.
Possessions: The sword Alyssa tends to carry with her is a long purple blade made up of crystals charged with electric energy. Silver and yellow spin runic symbols along the edges of the blade. The hilt of the sword is rounded and comprised of the twisted ends of the crystals making up the sword itself. The handle is wrapped in black silk, and a rounded end to it holds a large black gem with several silver orbs floating. What are those silver orbs? It’s said they are elementals, sleeping until called by her voice to fight at her side. How willing are you to find out?
A necklace on a silver chain holds a green amulet that Alyssa’s grandmother gave to her. She discovered a way to program it into the game for her character alone and allow it to offer a communication pathway between her and her allies. She carries a single leather-bound spell book with her, though she rarely uses it but to teach a younger warrior. Also hidden away inside her bags is a small cloth doll. She’s had this since her childhood, and she keeps it nearby at all times as a reminder of her old life.
Special Abilities: Ability to sense the past. Alyssa can read what has happened to you in your entire life in mere moments as long as she can see your eyes. She has the ability to ease spiritual, mental, and physical pain with the mere will, or increase it with a touch.
History: Born in a castle to a young Lord and his Lady, Alyssa was destined to be an armored knight from her first moments. She lived an average life until she turned 14 and her parents sent her off to an academy to learn swordplay and mounted combat.
Her skills developed quickly, a carrier of the light, who could deal massive damage and yet heal when it was necessary. Acquiring a large number of allies, she soon became one of the more well known knights in the lands. Throughout her four final years of schooling, Alyssa earned herself a name in the world. Her skills and abilities were sought after by those who fought at her side, and she was guarded by those who desired her favor.
When she graduated, her grandmother gave her a green amulet, one she promptly designed to allow communication. Now, she could speak with her friends and allies as often as she pleased for any reason, and as long as she wore it they could contact her.
It quickly came into use. In a raid on a large city, Alyssa was hailed to a cathedral where her group was struggling badly. Her three guards rode with her to the scene, and there they resurrected the dead, healed the injured, and defeated the enemy. But the victory was not without cost. A spell from a dying warlock caused the three guards to be trapped as ghosts. They made their wishes clear. If they must be ghosts, they would be guardians of their leader, guardians that could not be harmed any longer. They would protect Alyssa with their immortal spirits and increase her power when they were called to battle. The three angels took their place in the head of her sword, resting until they were needed.
Alyssa's work continued, battle after battle working its way through time. When the Lords from lands around realized her potential as a warrior, they offered her a contract with them. Alyssa accepted quickly, and she became even more important to the knights under her command. Her followers doubled in loyalty, carrying the banner of their army for years after.
But around the age of 21, Alyssa met Jason. She was no longer as fervent a knight as she had been, her eyes set on someone more valuable to her than the wars could ever be. She still fought for her work, but her army began to fade. Soon, there were no more than ten, and even they were on the edge of their allegiance. The three angels in her sword still swore their defense of her, but she was no longer a leader of an army. Though each and every warrior still honored her and called her friend, recognizing her superiority, they no longer bowed to her word or followed her order.
Alyssa now walks with her angels only, and the few friends she still keeps in contact with are there should she call for them. But it is a lonely road these days, and she is only there to do what she must for the good of Ymaggion.
