DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORMNote: This hunter was not played in the event. I apologize if this is not open for questing but I didn't see otherwise in the form.
The HunterName: Lyria Marwick
Nicknames: Ria, Lyrs (pronounced Leer-z)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Category: Death
The WeaponName: Firman
Nicknames: Firry
Type of Weapon: War HammerFormer species of weapon: A storm giant.
Gender: Very male.
Personalities: Hunter: Lyria is an ask now, ask later, and then ask as a third time just to be sure kind of girl. There's nothing in this world she hates more than being wrong so if she has to ask you a million times to make sure she's doing it right the first time she will. Whether this is from low self-esteem or just a desire to look brilliant can only be known when you talk to her and realize that all she wants is to be helpful.
It does result in her sometimes hopping into things to be helpful without entirely thinking them through in a pinch though. When not asking for exact directions things tend to go interestingly for everyone involved and certainly for Lyria. Failure to be helpful or useful in some way tends to make her a bit morose and withdrawn into herself. Not really a shy young lady, nonetheless she does have a shell and would retreat into it after failing in such an epic manner.
It's really quite pathetic considering how often it happens. After all, you can't
always be useful!
Why does she desire to be helpful? Well because it makes people like her and it feels good. You do good things for good people and they think
you are a good person. It would baffle Lyria to have someone ask her this question and she'd just look at them and go "Why not?".
Weapon: Firman is, if nothing else, approving of his Hunter's helpful nature. However he does disapprove of those times when she hops ahead of herself without thinking things through 100 percent and when he puts his weight down she can't even drag Firman behind her! This means that Lyria has to have her weapon on her side for any given thing and she spends a lot of time being solicitous towards him.
Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter? There is no other way to be helpful than to be a Hunter. She found the idea of learning and helping the organization irresistible and threw herself at it...without entirely thinking it through. That's not to say that she regrets the decision at all! Oh no, she just sometimes has 'what-if' moments and uses the results of her headstrong impulsiveness as a reminder to check, check again, and then check a third time...just to be sure.
Weapon Ability Normally this is just a heavy hammer that hits rather hard, nothing exceptional save an affection for static discharge. What do I mean by discharge? Well it's like being shocked by rubbing your feet on the carpet, only it happens a bit more often. Especially when Firman is grumpy. This is almost
entirely cosmetic because the shock doesn't carry enough charge to do anything more than make you blink for a second.
When charged the swing of her hammer carries twice the weight a normal hammer would have. This results in a rather heavy swing that, depending on who is on the other end, can be quite painful. It may even send them flying with the weight of a giant's fist.
