【.character backstory.】 She grew up in the outskirts of a small village called Gulstarr, which is as small as a legit village could possibly get. Most people nowadays believe that unicorns are gone, so her small family had no trouble whatsoever in having a peaceful life.

When she was about seventeen, she left home for the capital of Eryna, to search for kinship and spiritual awareness in the Pital temples, and to help others with any knowledge she may gain as a healer and as a devoted servent to Pital. _______

【.character backstory.】
Growing up in minor nobility Claire was very dedicated to her studies. She stayed in the family library all day pretty much everyday. She even took her meals in the library as she was fascinated by magic, wanting to learn all she could about it. Her father, concerned for her well being at the time, forced her to take lessons in fencing once a day. She became proficient with her rapier over time, but always dove headfirst into her pile of books. Eventually her father and herself came to blows over this and she was kicked off the estates, thus beginning her journey.
The immediate advantages of the Anima Machinae were quickly witnessed. Being machines, they had no need for food or water, could not feel pain but were capable of discerning damage, were immune to poisons and didn't even require air to breath. Furthermore, they were made of metal, making them far more durable than organics, allowing them to take more punishment if needed.
Veric is a modified Gunner. He possesses enhanced capabilities when using firearms, better capable of landing deadlier shots in addition to being far more efficient when using them. In the case of being engaged in close combat, Veric has extensive training in short blades and knife combat; which should allow him to adequately defend himself. In addition, his body is built with increased agility and reaction systems superior to typical Anima of his size. he is capable of equipping lighter armors (such as leather) to supplement his metal shell's defensive capabilities.
❖ Battle Weakness:
The Anima Machinae are machines after all, sentient but machines nevertheless. If they run out of energy, the Anima engages an emergency shut-down to prevent total destruction and remain inert until repair. Sadly as all machines, broken or damaged areas must be repaired or replaced. They cannot be "healed" such as with magic. Water is more effective against the Anima, as the energy inherent in their system is susceptible to it. Furthermore, removal of their core initiates a slow shutdown. It is slow to grant the Anima a chance to reacquire the core if it is removed during combat.
Due to Steel Warrior's specific modifications, he is incapable of adding heavy armor (thankfully, he is very durable without). Furthermore, he lacks the training to wield the more cumbersome weapons (two-handed). Further modifications did not prevent a dependency on ammunition for combat capabilities. Even then, the Steel Warrior is still limited to four total firearms. It is capable of learning a close combat style, in addition it can master the use of bows but has a hard time due to inherent programming.

❖ Place of Birth: The Nation of Jiaum in an unknown War-Forge.
❖ Personality: Veric Brener is calm, analytic and focused. His very nature prevents hysteria, panic, or fear from overtaking him, though he can be prone to fury. Though typically quiet and thoughtful in his dialogue, the Anima is also characteristically known to make sarcastic observations, likely a byproduct of his age. He has a calming effect on those around him and an strong charisma despite being a machine. His determination and grit have allowed him to survive through some of the toughest obstacles in his existence and in turn inspire those around him. His will to live extraordinary.

❖ Personal Quote: "Steel Warrior? That is an old, long forgotten name. I am Veric Brener, the Iron Mercenary."
Built for war. A singular design for a singular purpose. Combat Model: Steel Warrior was built in a War-Forge in old Jiaum. His masters built him to destroy their enemies, hoping that the Anima's superior capabilities would turn the war for them. Combat Model: Steel Warrior was one of 13 different Combat Models designed to supplement each other and serve as "The Mechanized Warlords" leading far less efficient models in addition to regular soldiers in combat. All of the Combat Models proved their worth time and time again. For nearly 200 years they served with exemplary distinction against the enemy. However, in that time losses were suffered. First 3 of the Mechanized Warlords were lost in an ambush, then 2 were lost in pitched combat. The last 4 turned rogue and had been hunted down and dispatched. Soon there were only 3 of the original 13 still functioning. By then the war had been practically won. Their creators, spooked by the betrayal of something that in theory should have been incapable of doing so, planned to dispatch of the remaining five.
On the eve of victory the creators set a trap, and ambushed the 3 with their own men; they failed. Faced with annihilation at the hands of their creators, the 3 Mechanized Warlords cut a bloody swathe through their would be executioners and fled from the battlefield. They soon split ways, believing that each would have more success in survival on their own. The Combat Model: Steel Warrior wandered the lands, making sure to avoid any inquiries into its past or any meeting with Jiaum officials. He created the name Veric Brener to note his new way of life. Serving as a mercenary for hundreds of years, the Anima's existence was forgotten by most of the world. Yet there still remain some who remember, and search.
Should they come for him, Veric will fight once more and prove just why he was so effective over 400 years ago... __________________________________________________

❖ Battle Strength: xxx • Fia relies heavily on her senses, other than eyesight. Since her mask limits her vision quite a bit she uses her hearing and smelling a lot more. It's almost as if she as a sixth sense about certain things. She hates to be stared at for too long, it makes her have a nagging feeling in the back of her head. It's not always useful though. In the middle of a fight her senses can become muddled very quickly.
xxx • Aside from her sixth sense, Fia is very nimble in both mind and body. She's light on her feet and thinks quickly when the time calls for it. Her quick thinking comes in handy sometimes when on the verge of getting caught by her enemy. She's been able to talk her way out of most troublesome situations so far in her life. Her memory is also quite impressive, often remembering certain smells or sounds that are unique to one particular location or person. It comes in handy when tracking some thing through a thick forests or fog and risk getting hopelessly lost.
❖ Battle Weakness: xxx • Her senses are a double-edged sword. While they do come in handy, overpowering smells and loud sounds will get to her. Smells like onions, garlic, or anything else that makes a person eyes water will make it feel like her nose is burning. For sounds a high pitched whistle will slow her down quite a bit as well. Foods can have an effect on her as well. Fia despises anything remotely spicy.
xxx • She prefers avoiding hand to hand combat if at all possible. Her body is physically weak and she can't defend against heavy blows. This is why Fia is often called a dirty fighter, since she will resort to throwing dirt into her opponents face if it means a chance of retreating a bit.
xxx • Fia's mask is of course a weakness as well. When the mask is taken from her Fia will more often than not freeze up and can't think straight with her mask off (she often conceals herself in shadows when she loses her mask). She might also become angry to the point of making head on attacks despite her being weaker than her opponent. Her common sense often flies out the window without her mask on.
Precious is her chosen weapon as a Dark Avenger xxxName of Weapon/Armor: Precious xxxDescription: Precious is a unique blade of sorts suitable for an assassin in the dark. In short, it is a capable of switching between dagger, short sword and a full fledged sword with a simple piston and folding mechanism. Precious is made out of a bronze material complete with iron plating with leather wrapping around the hilt itself. When the weapon is not in use, the user can have the weapon in a retracted form, looking like a simple blade-less hilt. (Think like a lightsaber) The blade can extend out to a decent six inches with a triangular blade that's wide in girth. Through another trigger of the weapon's mechanism, the weapon extends further and becomes a foot and a half and becomes more narrow in the process. The final extension measures up to two feet and four inches and becomes much more narrow like that of an actual sword. This makes the weapon prone to breaking yet it has been reinforced with steel plating to ensure it can withstand for long as possible. Other than Precious' unorthodox mechanics, the weapon contains no supernatural abilities. xxxRank: - - - - xxxPassives: Extension Modes: Hilt -> Dagger -> Shortsword -> Sword
xxxName of Weapon/Armor: Hidden Blade (aka Mr. Stabby) xxxDescription: A single unorthodox weapon seen used by some renown assassins, notably as a custom of some groups and organizations. For Fia's case, this weapon is very much alike these weapons. Designed for stealth and discreet assassinations, this is the tool for the job. Fashioned into a vambrace, a piece of armor, a mechanism rests on the inside of the forearm that contains a weapon. Through a minor surge of energy, the blade will jut out of it's housing to an adjustable length of anywhere between four inches to seven inches to fight with. Not suitable for blocking with the actual blade itself, the reinforced vambrace serves as the defensive part of the weapon. xxxRank: C xxxPassives: To extend/Retract - E Rank energy is used.
xxxName of Weapon/Armor: Hawk Rifle xxxDescription: An assassin's dream of a rifle. The Hawk Rifle is a well designed piece of work with one thing in mind, kill and do it well for an assassin. The Hawk Rifle is designed so that it can be dissembled into three basic parts with relative ease to cut down on size, making it easy to conceal; the parts being: The stock, center main body and then the forward stock and barrel. The rifle is equipped with a few things to ensure ease for when on the field. First and foremost would be the scope using a magnifying system to magnify up to 5x the distance, making it easy to pull off a sniping. On the forward grip of the weapon where it is held by the offhand lies a mechanism similar to that of Fia's hidden blade. By flipping a switch, a six to ten inch bayonet like blade juts out and can be used as a makeshift spear. The blade itself has been reinforced to ensure it doesn't break as easily when used in open combat against an opponent. The rifle itself has a collapsible buttstock along with the ability for the forward portion of the rifle to retract to act as a carbine in addition to allow more agile use of the bayonet. In terms of firing, the weapon itself is loud yet can be outfitted with a flash supresser to at least eliminate the flash the muzzle will produce. For compensation of sound, Fia's Kakurenbo illusions can take care of that easily. It has a semi-automatic firing mode with a clip of five small caliber rounds in each, yet the rifle can be single shot as well by manually using the bolt action near the buttstock of the rifle. When loading, the user must slap in the magazine through the bottom and rack back the feed bolt on its side. The caliber of which this fires is 30-30. xxxRank: C
Name of Weapon/Armor: X-Death Description: X-Death is a customized semi-automatic pistol designed for as a side arm weapon. Crafted for one thing and one thing only, speed. While bulky, this gun doesn't have the range like her rifle or the punch of her shadowmancing skills but has the compact size to attack with speed and precision should traditional methods fail her. Designed as a traditional revolver save for it's bulky design. Instead of a normal 6 chamber revolver, the cylinder holds 8 shots in stead of the normal six, prompting it to have a longer fire rate. Outfitted with a 2x scope on top, the simple aiming device can be detached when needed but supplies the user additional accuracy. When reloading, the pistol itself is designed to be quick and efficient in that department as the "reel" or cylinder will actually eject with a flip of a switch on the gun very much like a magazine catch, This allows for a new cylinder to be slapped in and ready to fire once again. In addition to the fast reloading rate, the gun is an assassin's dream as it has a built in suppressor that eliminates most of the noise when fired. Every bit of the gun is hand crafted as well to avoid much mechanical noise as well such as a click of the cylinder or the inner workings of X-Death. Vented out on the sides this is made for the gun to drastically cut down on recoil as well, prompting it easily to handle higher rates of fire. Rank: C-Rank
❖ Armor: xxxFia's armor is all made out of black leather. Her chest piece is basically a leather plated corset that ties in the back. She wears a pair of matching bracers that cover her arms and a pair of shin guards. Her boots are a little bit different. The boots are made out of a softer leather than the rest. This allows her foot steps to go almost unnoticed. Her cloak has a bit of matching leather on the hood like the rest of her clothes. However this is mostly just for decoration. Other than that she wears a shoulder guard, but this works as a holster for her weapons and is not meant to take a lot of heavy hitting. Under her armor Fia wears a dark blue shirt and pants.
❖ Personal Belongings: xxx • A white fox mask. While simple in design it's the one thing that Fia cannot live without. It's made out of a simple leather for durability and a red string with three silver beads at the ends of the string.
❖ Important Objects: xxx • - - - -
❖ Various Items: xxx • Extra/Casual clothes xxxxExtra pic/clothes (ignore the hair) xxx • A white leather bag xxxxUsed for holding things like the ammunition for her rifle and pistol. xxx • Food rations and water canteen xxxxShe keeps extra snacks just in case in her bag. xxx • Recipe book xxxxTypically kept in her leather bag. Used strictly for cooking meals. Small enough to be kept in a pocket though. xxx • Observation book xxxxA book that is kept under lock and key. It holds what Fia has observed about humans, fae, vampires, etc through the years. (No secrets or anything like that, just a book with day to day happenings...like a diary.)
❖ Weight: xxxOne hundred and fifteen pounds | 115 lbs
❖ Build: xxxShe's got a small build that's built for speed. Her compact size allows her to hide easily behind objects that normally couldn't hide an average sized person. However, she was not built for strength, so to speak. Her strength lies in mind and speed.
❖ Eye Color: xxxUnknown xxxBlue with a hint of yellow around the pupils.
❖ Hair Color: xxxBlackish-blue with blonde tips
❖ Identifying Marks: xxx- - - - xxx- - - -
❖ Place of Birth: xxx Jiaum
❖ Personality: xxxWith her mask on Fia is the strong silent type. Typically the only way to tell what she’s feeling is by the expression on her face, but that can be difficult considering she always has a frown plastered on. This part of her can have one of two effects on people. The first being they think she’s just incredibly cold-hearted and couldn’t care less about anything or any one. The second effect is that she attracts people to her like flies to sugar because she’s some kind of cool, calm and mysterious passerby. Fia actually prefers the first effect since that means people stay clear of her when she’s out to kill someone. However, it does bother her that people will ignore her completely at times. She lets it slide though, knowing that mortals are fickle creatures.
xxxAs a sister Fia is an almost different person. She has a strong sense of responsibility to her older brother and younger sister. Especially to her sister, who doesn‘t know a lot about anyone outside of their family. She is overly protective around or about her siblings to the point where Fia might actually bite a person if they get to close. In fact that has happened on several occasions. Early warning signs that something bad is about to happen to the unfortunate soul pestering her siblings are growling and the feeling that a sharp and pointy thing is about to lodged in their back. One particular person who should be wary around her is a certain someone that her little sister is strangely attached too. She doesn’t physically relax either, unless she’s fully aware that both her siblings are accounted for and there’s no threat to their well being.
xxxOn the rare occasions that Fia does make a friend, while she isn’t as open to them as she is with her siblings, Fia’s loyalty to them has no limits. If Fia knows the person well enough they might even find a more playful and curious side to her that even her siblings don’t see very often. She has even pulled a prank or two in her time. She does like to be around other people if only to observe them and learn more about what is considered normal in that area or to certain groups of people. Fia’s friend might even discover that, with her constant observing and high interest in the average object, that she’s a very normal girl. She likes extremely fluffy things and occasionally even pink things.
xxxAll the things mentioned above about her is all pretty much Fia’s behavior with her mask on. With her mask off is a totally different story. Depending on the situation at hand depends on the initial behavior of the normally feisty fox. If, by some divine miracle that Fia feels comfortable around a person (who isn’t a sibling) enough to take her mask they’ll find that she is a very shy person underneath it all. If her mask is lost for some reason Fia will become quickly nervous, scared, and very anxious. Fia might even have to be literally dragged or carried away from the spot where she notices that her mask is missing and will always refuse to remove the hood of her cloak from her face (if she has it with her). A third reaction that could happen without her mask is if it’s taken from her physically. This is the most dangerous thing that could happen. Fia can become extremely angry and unpredictable without her mask on the battlefield.
❖ Lovers: xxxMind your own business. xxxNone...yet
❖ Nemeses: xxxOnly enemies of The Void at the moment. xxxAnd anything remotely canine.
❖ Likes:
xxx• Dark areas xxxAll the easier to hide in. xxx• Nights with no moon xxxSame reason as the last one. xxx• Star gazing xxxIt calms her down quite a bit. xxx• Scary stories xxxShe likes to scare people when they're engrossed in a story. xxx• Camp fires xxxThe smell of burning wood and the heat from the fire is some how comforting to her. xxx• Sweet flowers xxxSoothing smells like these keep her from getting to anxious.
❖ Dislikes:
xxx• Cold areas xxxShe really hates being cold with a passion. xxx• Garlic, onions, anything that smells sour or bad. xxxSince her sense of smell is higher than a humans' strong smells like these annoy her greatly. xxx• People touching her mask. xxxNo touchy the mask. xxx• Sour and spicy food. xxxHaving heightened senses is such a pain. Spicy food burns her mouth. xxx• Dogs, Were-Hyena, wolves, etc. Anything canine. xxxIt's a natural fear.
❖ Personal Quote: xxx" Just because a person wears a mask on the outside they think he or she is nothing but trouble. However, sometimes it's the people who don't wear masks that are trouble. "
xxxFia is the middle of three siblings of the Kakurenbo bloodline. Michiyo, the youngest is a small and slender woman who’s physically weaker than her two older siblings. Then there’s Maxim, the eldest child and only boy. He’s the strongest of the three and is also the most playful. One would think being born into such a bloodline would lead to a rather terrible childhood, however Fia did not have one like this. She didn’t have a stereotypical ‘normal’ childhood either.
xxxShe doesn’t like to talk about her past too much. Fia has learned that talking about watching her parents eat the hearts of mortal beings like it was the most casual thing in the world instantly sent people literally running and screaming from the room. Of course she wasn’t bothered by the fact. Fia just counted those people as strange or weird since that was all she knew. As she grew older and observed other beings going about their daily lives and became curious about what was normal and what wasn’t. She started to hide out in the shadows to observe other girls who were around her age. She always made sure to hide herself from being seen though. Fia was curious, not an idiot.
xxxFia was in her early teens when she stumbled upon something that was most certainly not normal as far as she had observed. On a night of the new moon Fia witnessed some over-pompous merchant she had seen come and go from the near-by village lately get assassinated just far enough away that nobody would see or hear. From her point of view Fia was almost certain that a shadow had napped the man, but figured that would be impossible for a shadow to come to life. It wasn’t until a moment later, after a short struggle and rather surprising struggle from the merchant that she saw the person who was in the shadows.
xxxBehind her white fox mask, Fia was almost sure that the person standing the shadows had seen her, but instinct told her to simply not move or take eyes off the mysterious being. The shadow assassin, as she was tempted to call it for the moment, was apparently well aware of the hidden audience. Rather than slaying the girl then and there, one could say the person took Fia in as an apprentice. However, Fia convinced her new teacher to come back to her home and get treated for the wound. Her parents were none to thrilled that she had left an uneaten heart, but looked after her friend either way. While Fia’s new friend did not stay long enough to train her she did pester the poor soul into telling her a few things.
xxxIt was after that, that Fia left her home and pursued a new path in life. She already knew how to track and hide in the shadows as well as any body with the same blood as her own could. Now, as a Dark Avenger, Fia was sure she could become much better than before. Fia has never said it, but she had always wanted to eat all of the hearts and get as many tails as she could like her parents before her. She hopes as a Dark Avenger she’ll be able to obtain that goal. Until she’s obtained that goal though Fia will just have to pace herself for the time being.

Built for war. A singular design for a singular purpose. Combat Model: Steel Warrior was built in a War-Forge in old Jiaum. His masters built him to destroy their enemies, hoping that the Anima's superior capabilities would turn the war for them. Combat Model: Steel Warrior was one of 13 different Combat Models designed to supplement each other and serve as "The Mechanized Warlords" leading far less efficient models in addition to regular soldiers in combat. All of the Combat Models proved their worth time and time again. For nearly 200 years they served with exemplary distinction against the enemy. However, in that time losses were suffered. First 3 of the Mechanized Warlords were lost in an ambush, then 2 were lost in pitched combat. The last 4 turned rogue and had been hunted down and dispatched. Soon there were only 3 of the original 13 still functioning. By then the war had been practically won. Their creators, spooked by the betrayal of something that in theory should have been incapable of doing so, planned to dispatch of the remaining five.
On the eve of victory the creators set a trap, and ambushed the 3 with their own men; they failed. Faced with annihilation at the hands of their creators, the 3 Mechanized Warlords cut a bloody swathe through their would be executioners and fled from the battlefield. They soon split ways, believing that each would have more success in survival on their own. The Combat Model: Steel Warrior wandered the lands, making sure to avoid any inquiries into its past or any meeting with Jiaum officials. He created the name Veric Brener to note his new way of life. Serving as a mercenary for hundreds of years, the Anima's existence was forgotten by most of the world. Yet there still remain some who remember, and search.
Should they come for him, Veric will fight once more and prove just why he was so effective over 400 years ago... __________________________________________________
