Name: Ava Cinasa (A-va Sin-as-a)
Age: 21.
Race: Human/mage
Family: None, she was orphaned at age 10.
Personality: When one first meets Ava she is politely friendly, but this is just a façade. It is notirously difficult to get a definate answer from her, as she does not like to commit herself to things, preferring to keep her distance. She is not a person who easily cultivates friendships, and nor does she desire to. Many speculate that this personality, this desire to keep ones interests close to the chest, developed because of the untimely and violent death of her family. As nobody knew the Ava before this atrocity, an answer cannot be provided. Ava is a dedicated young soul – though few know what exactly her deidcation is, or what fuels it – and is often seen training, to what many would consider excess. There is only one person that has ever seen the real Ava, the person she is when her shields are lowered. He knows of her temper, her passions, her sense of humour, but he also understands why she keeps such things hidden so well.
Apperance: Ava is tall for a woman, reaching a height of 5’9” and because of all the physical training she forces herself through, she is slender and has astonishing strength for a woman. She is not muscle-bound – her genetics, apparently, do not allow for that – but there is clear evidence that she trains hard, her muscles are merely slim-lined and subtle. She has strikingly blonde hair, which is matched by a fair, clear complexion and large, round green eyes. She dresses simply – as many orphans do – but well. However, she does hold a sense of disdane towards dresses, perferring to be at comfort in pants and a shirt.
Skills: Developing magical powers, but has no idea how to control them, what they do or where they have come from. She cannot use them at will yet. She is also very skilled with the short sword and short bow, and also knows basic field first-aid [also skilled in gun-use, depending on the era of the roleplay]
Background: Ava’s history is not something she talks about freely and infact, the law enforcement had much difficulty extracting even the simplest information from the girl when her family’s deaths were discovered. This was initially due to shock, but afterwards, as the years passed, it became a defence mechanism. Her parents and siblings were killed for apparently no reason; those responsible for their deaths having made a mistake as to who their intended victims were. Many think that because she lives to this day, Ava was spared the butchering that her family suffered. This is, in fact, untrue. It merely happened that she was not so viciously attacked – having only been knocked unconscious and mistaken for dead. While her family was laid to rest, Ava drifted in and out of a three-day coma in hospital. From there, she was taken to St Sophia’s, where her next years passed slowly and untroubled. She made no friends, except for one boy, as lonely and as heart-broken as she, of a same age. Their friendship was the focus of confused feelings of the nuns who ran the orphange – it seemed that the two young people found in one another what they could not find in others. They had an unspoken bond of prodigious strenght and where one went, so too did the other. As the pair turned 18 – Ava a month before her friend – they left the orphanage. Ava, with her skills in the deadlier arts, became a mercenary and in her three years away from the orphanage, has risen to second command of the small mercenary unit she is a member of. However, another problem has begun to show itself in the last few months – Ava has experienced unintended, unexpected and unwelcome flashes of magical power. She has no idea what they are, or how to control – or even call – such power. As she remembers little about her family, she is unsure if such a condition afflicted another member of her family and cannot, obviously, call upon them for help. The only link she has to something real is, as it has always been, her childhood friend.

I haven’t supplied much detail on Ava’s ‘friend’, as I thought maybe somebody would like to play him? If they would, that would be fantastic! All I ask is that you genuinely want the character and are willing to play him on a regular basis ☺
