Name: Lykeira Dirke
Age: 20
Race Name: Amazon [Artemisian]
Race Description: found here.
Racial Powers:
- Seal of the Huntress - This is the gift of Artemis' tribe. With this power, Lykeira is granted MODERATE protection against any attack by an animal or animalian creature. Additionally, Lykeira has a STRONG resistance to poison effects.
- Bird's Eye View - Lykeira is able to see through the eyes of her trained falcon, Skree, via a telepathic link. While she is doing this, she can mentally communicate with the falcon, but she cannot control the bird or see from her own vantage point. It is therefore unwise to use this in the midst of combat or other dangerous situations. The telepathic link currently maxes out at 20 miles.
- Moonwalker - Lykeria is able to slip into the body of her companion wolf, Aru, and take over. Her own body gets left behind in a catatonic state when she does this, leaving it vulnerable to attack or discovery. Any damage suffered by Aru during this time remains on his body when she slips back out.
Description of Character:
Lykeira was born and raised on Themyscira, going through the typical process of tribal selection once she turned 13. She was a natural and immediate fit in the tribe of Artemis and took quite brilliantly to working with the animals in her care. When she turned 15, she pledged herself to Artemis without a second thought and began her apprenticeship as a ranger. She excelled in wildlife training and tracking and would very likely have continued to rise swiftly in the ranks had she not disappeared on her 20th birthday on a hunting expedition that led her to accidentally slip into Rune. A few weeks later, she is still warily exploring her new surroundings, unsure of whether this could become home.
Lykeira stands 5'11" tall, with long chestnut-colored hair, which she wears in tight braids around the crown of her head, and clear grey eyes. She has an athletic build and an assortment of tattoos crisscrossing her arms and shoulders. Her weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, but she also carries a pair of long-bladed hunting knives with which she is quite skilled.
Character Personality:
Lykeira is something of a pragmatist, typically cutting straight to the heart of a matter without much interest in the ins and outs of social convention or detailed planning. She becomes easily restless and is bored by overlong preparation, preferring to act on instinct and intuition. That having been said, once she sets her desires on something or has decided against it, she is notoriously difficult to sway. She is curious and can be playful when she is comfortable in her surroundings, but her pride is very easily bruised and, once wounded, her ego needs quite a bit of soothing before she'll allow herself to open back up again. She is fiercely protective of anyone patient enough to get close to her.
Inventory:
- Aru the Wolf - A medium-sized adult black wolf with a white blaze on his chest. He seems to be generally good-natured but wary of anyone he doesn't already know. On the rare occasions wherein he displays immediate affection toward a person, Lykeira tends to take it as a good judgment of character. The two are nearly inseparable.
- Skree the Gyrfalcon - A large grey-and-white gyrfalcon with a penchant for sweets. She is haughty and aloof but can be easily won over with praise and shiny trinkets. She is well-trained and a skilled hunter.
- Lunar Longbow - A slender silver recurve longbow that glistens even in the lowest light. Pulling back the bowstring conjures arrows made of pure light energy [Power level: STRONG] or adds light damage [Power level: MODERATE] to whatever arrows you are otherwise using.
- Huntress Thorns - A quiver full of twenty (20) poison-tipped arrows made of a sleek green metal native to Themyscira. These deal MODERATE physical and MODERATE poison damage, and reappear in the quiver at the end of every thread.
- Twinblades - A matching set of two artfully-crafted hunting knives, designed in homage to the goddess Artemis and her twin brother. The left knife is silver steel with a white bone handle wrapped in black leather, while the right knife is a gold-plated blade with a red bone handle wrapped in white leather. The silver knife deals MODERATE cold/frost damage in addition to physical wounds. The gold knife deals MODERATE fire/heat damage in addition to physical wounds.
- Nightrunner Tunic - An enchanted drab grey hooded tunic made of a soft, flowing material that provides the protection of plate armor to the torso while also making the wearer very difficult to see [Power level: STRONG] except under direct moonlight.
- Bag of Goodies - This small leather satchel smells horrific, but wild animals seem to delight in it. You'd better not ask.
