Ci’ara Stormbringer

Background

Ci’ara is an elf from the Syphare Forest tribe and was brought up like most elven children. She had a love for nature that would not be contained and would often be found talking to animals and amongst the woods, lakes and mountains near her home as opposed to being indoors. Although she spent most of her time out doors she quickly found her calling when studying basic magic.

Taken in by the local sorceress she learnt to harness the weave around her by tapping into natures might and she gradually became more powerful. However, when she was still young in her study the gods of nature put forth a test to her village, or so the elders called it, and a massive storm threatened to destroy the village. But Ci’ara harnessed the storms power and controlled the fury of nature to redirect it to where it would cause no harm.

Ci’ara was then given the name Stormbringer and has since harnessed the fury and power of the storms that she can summon.

Abilities

Ci’ara specialises in Lightning attacks and can summon gusts and gales to hamper her enemies movements and assist her allies in battle. Specialising in Barriers made from whirling wind and lightning she can also lash out to stun, slow and even deafen her enemies when they get to close.

She can launch out a single jolt of electricity towards a foe or she can call down an entire storm of lightning bolts to everything within an area if she so chooses. Anything that feels the full strength of her lightnings touch is left stunned and wishing they never threatened the woods where she calls home.

Banes

• Stunned
• Forced Move
• Deafened
• Slowed
• Immobile

Boons

• Haste
• Barrier
• Light
• Flight* (Future boon – needs a higher Movement attribute score)

Feats:

Her specialisation in lightning magic has left a lasting mark on those who have stood against her, and there has been many. These foes of nature and the elves find themselves left stunned on the battlefield as a bolt of lightning has arced through their ranks, leaving them breathless and their armour smouldering.

• Attack specialisation 1 (Lightning)
• Bane Focus (Stunned)

Perks and Flaws:

She sometimes does still talk to animals to get a feeling of what is on their mind. Although she isn’t as talented as other druids or rangers she still has an affinity for nature and can communicate with them when needed.

Perks:

• Natures Ally
• Whisper of the wild

However she does not know much of the real world and is hot tempered when defending nature, her people or animals. This has landed her in hot water more than once where her party; commonly dwarves, humans and halflings, have a strong need to hunt for their food when adventuring and she perceives this as a threat and disrespect to nature itself.

Flaws:

• Naive
• Zealous (when dealing with nature and animals)

Attributes:

Highly willed and a force to be reckoned with due to her sense of self she is a powerful ally when she is in her element. Her elven graces and natural perception make her a useful ally when on the move and not just in combat when she needs to bring the storms wrath upon her foes.

• Agility 2
• Perception 2
• Presence 2
• Movement 3
• Will 4
• Energy 5

You may notice that I have structured these a bit differently to normal. This is due to how I went through what I wanted in Ci’ara, before knowing she was an elven maiden, with the concept of a storm-mage. Focusing on the Boons; benefits she can bestow onto others, the Banes; the debuffs she could inflict upon enemies, and her fighting style; her feats – what potentially separated her from other mages, it left me with a strong sense of who she was.

I then chose Perks that looked at who she was as a child due to her race (whisper of the wild) and then due to her calling or achievements as an adventurer (natures ally) and I was able to fill in the missing gaps.

By knowing what I wanted her to do and how I wanted her to fight; battlefield control and lightning damage, I identified what attributes I needed, what was most important and what scores I needed for her to be effective. I think this worked out well and I didn’t feel overwhelmed by choice, which is a feeling I get when looking at Openlegend RPG.
