SÁGA also happens to be her maiden surname. although she is mostly known to be the ragnanival princess as 'lady embla' to her people, she is often called bluebird by the people of the fire kingdom, due to her wings and her eyes. AGE, as one of odin's many daughters, she is currently only thirty-seven years of age, but physically appears to be about eighteen due to her demi-human blood. while she is the youngest of the daughters, she displays a commendable repetoire of battle skills amongst the throng of valkyrie maidens. GENDER, as she is a valkyrie, she is female. ORIENTATION, embla is heterosexual, at best. she tries not to display her emotions too openly as she was brought up to be a soldier who prioritized duty over feelings; however, she does possess a softer disposition compared to the other valkyries who are just as ruthless as their male companions. RACE, embla is a valkyrie, noted by the pair of wings that gleam brightly in a vibrant hue. this makes her a demi-human. embla's wings are noted for their indigo-blue shine, a colour that is also reflected in her eyes. however, she is now a captive prisoner (or so how she sees it) of volkenon, and her wings have been singed by the inferno king's flames to prevent her from escaping, rendering her flightless. ALLIANCE, for political reasons, odin had decided to dispense his daughter as a peace offering between raganival and the fire kingdom. as embla had suffered irreparable injuries in her last participation in the cauldron war, she was not fit to be part of the armed forces, and was degraded into a political pawn by odin's hands. to quell any potential tension between raganival and volkenon that might escalate into war, odin has given up embla as a raganival princess to appease fire king onyx. as a result, she is now affiliated with the fire kingdom, and is now branded as a citzien of volkenon. she is allowed one visitor every month, but no one really quites care about embla much anymore to go out of their way and journey across a war-stricken erion to visit this fallen valkyrie. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +POSITIVE, embla has a clear, fathomable quality which allows her to be concise and courteous with her words. she tries not to avert her eyes from the person she is speaking to, and she speaks honestly without any feelings of guile. perhaps it was due to her sophisticated upbringing that allowed her to become rather cordial in terms of manners, and yet she is righteously prudent about foreign contact. embla has also attained a rather deep sense of loyalty to her close acquaintances and her home country, but that is slowly being re-formed and re-prioritized over the recent hash of events, though it does not stop her from being openly wary about the fire kingdom and its citizens. due to her approach to things, she likes to handle situations as efficiently as possible, and with as little hassle or disruption as not to displease her superiors and supporters. -NEGATIVE, while embla tries to conduct herself as elegantly as possible, she is rather disillusioned by many things, making her a rather somber person. she is easily frustrated by a lot of on-going conflicts that has gone on in the world, and thus often times acts rashly or impulsively lashes out on others in a spur of emotion. she is also often too wary for her own good, as demonstrated with her distrust of the inferno king and her uncomfortable apprehensions about her living in the fire kingdom. her abandonment (or so how she sees it) by her father, king odin, has left her with a frenzy of complication emotions as of late, and as a result her disposition has turned hard, marking her at times rather bitter when she reminisces about raganival. lastly, she has a very solitary nature, and prefers to be aloof from the rest of the others. STRENGTHS, • partisan cavalry embla is well-versed in the mechanics and motor skills of wielding a partisan. similar to the war spears valkyrie maidens wield in the aesir force, embla prefers the long polearm with a ranseur style spear-head. her style of fighting is solely centered around aerial sweeping attacks. she relies mostly on airborne assaults, but that has weakened ever since her wings had been burned. • poker face the art of wearing a poker face, is the talent of clearing your facial expression until it is stoic, calm, composed, and guileless. telling a lie has never been so easy for her, for embla knows just exactly how much emotion she can allow to drain from her face to make everything convincing. of course, that doesn't mean she enjoys telling lies, but she often wears this fail-safe face in front of strangers, especially to inferno king onyx. • domestic skills the skills of housekeeping, revolves around maintenance and cooking. she is fit to be a wife, even if she denies that fact vehemently. embla often times goes out of her way to clean up a bit of a mess she finds or wipe the dust off the tables whenever she sees the chance to. • perceptive the analytic trait of apprehension and awareness is quite evident in embla. her mind's eye is quite... open to many things, as she continues to observe the world silently. because of her quietescent behaviour, embla has learned to pick a few 'vibes' or 'moods' from people without conversing much with them. though, for people with greater control over their emotions, it proves to be more of a difficult case for embla to crack, so to speak. • cultured eemblas has appreciative qualities of being aesthetically gifted and inclined to intellectual reception. her royal upbringing has led her to become refined in many ways, including being acquainted with proper manners and self-conduct around high-ranking political figures and other important persons. she also has a rich background of fine education, and is quite knowledgeable about her country and the mechanics behind the political system. WEAKNESSES, • indecisive embla, despite being aware of the various consequences each choice would entail, is the sort of person who is insecure about making a choice that would be a hundred percent satisfactory, and thus she is quite irresolute when it comes down to decisions or even relationships with other people. her wavering spirit has been her downfall one time too many, as others viewed it as lack of faith and scorned her for it • self-deprecating her lack of self-confidence has utterly debilitated any sort of heroic triumphs she might have tried to attempt if she had a little more strength in her. she is determined, but sometimes that determination is deterred by thoughts of "what if?"s that plague her mind with countless worries. she doesn't take flattery none too well either, and has often found herself struggling to accept it, even if the intentions were good-hearted to begin with. • socially stiff being raised separately from others and knowing nothing more than the boundaries of being a soldier, embla doesn't have much of a charm of blending herself in with others. she is brittle about relationships, and wouldn't even know how to begin one even if she desired companionship. • magically declined born as a valkyrie, the prose of magical arts has never been something embla was particularly good at. embla is terrible at harnessing magic power despite being a demi-human, and she isn't very knowledgeable about alchemy either. • flightless with her wings torn asunder by the inferno king's flames, embla is in a sense, a disabled valkyrie for she cannot achieve flight. embla can jump steep heights, but she can only hover in the air for about a few seconds before dropping back down to the ground. her wings are also weakened from the lack of exercise, and along with the broken feathers cannot support her as an aide in battle any longer. LIKES, • mulberry tarts • astronomy, consequently star-gazing • reading fairy tales and other fictional literature • cold, mountainous weather • fixing or repairing things DISLIKES, • torrid weather • insomnia • meaningless idleness • crude-mouthed curs • uncomfortable extravagants SECRETS, • spectral sight while ghosts and phantoms are easily seen by most human eyes, embla has the certain power to see the very phozons itself departing the body of the once living. for example, if she had slained a beast in the forest, she would be able to see not just the corspe, but the bright lights that fade and drift away from the body. • inner universe a voice talks to her. embla isn't sure who this voice belongs to, but sometimes a voice speaks to her, gently guiding her about what to do during the times when she doesn't know what to do, and giving her encouragement during the times when she needs to be brave, but could not muster it. embla sometimes wonder where the voice is from; she sometimes speculate that it is her inner conscience, but sometimes it feels like an entirely different person. INVENTORY, • schwartzringel ▪ black ring the proof of the contract she is bound to, under the circumstances that she now belongs to the fire kingdom. while embla does treat it with a certain degree of disdain, she does admit and marvel at the beauty of the craftsmanship of the piece of jewellry. the ring emits a warmth of its own, and the heat rises whenever the source of its maker is close; onyx. it is the first of the three gifts onyx has given her. • schwartzvogel ▪ blackbird a black partisan spear, where the spearhead is comprised of black onyx stone and sharped into a ranseur design. the partisan is roughly about five feet in length from spear tip to pole bottom. lightweight and strong, this battle spear was crafted by the best blacksmith in volkenon using the volkenon volcano's flames and magna, the the vast deposits of black silver surrounding the fire kingdom. its simplistic design leads to an efficient weapon embla can use without hassle. it was the second of the three gifts onyx had given her. • schwartzleowe ▪ black lion a black roundette buckler, it is a small shield reserved for parrying general attacks. it's usually attached to her right lower arm, and acts more of an attachment plate than a shield that is required to carry. forged from the same materials as schwartzvogel, the schwartzleowe's black metallic composition allows embla to wear a lightweight yet sturdy buckler she can depend on for protection during battle. its design is fairly simple, much like its weapon counterpart. it was the last of the three gifts onyx had given her. SLEIGHTS, • sundering moon sundering moon is a physical-based sleight that follows the theme of the lunar phase. it requires embla to jump above her opponent before crashing down with her partisan spear, razing a small radius of area with the blow. in mid-air, she draws a fictitious moon before plummeting to the ground. the moon represents how much power embla puts forth in her charge; all of her moons starts off as a new moon, and with each repeating use, the moon slowly waxes into a full moon, which signifies the 'maximum' power embla can unleash, so to speak. it takes four more uses to reach full moon. however, once full moon has been reached, it will continue to diminish as the moon wanes, before reverting back to a new moon state. i. new moon ii. crescent iii. first quarter iv. waxing gibbous v. full moon vi. waning gibbous viii. last quarter vvi. crescent x. new moon, once again the cycle repeats • ashen ray ashen ray is yet another physical-based sleight that follows the theme of constellations. ashen ray consists of a rapid thrust of the partisan, but the total hit count increases by one more hit with the next consecutive use, much like sundering moon. it can hit a total of seven piercing thrusts, forming the outline of the big dipper constellation. after the big dipper is complete, the hit count resets back to one - the first star on the tip of the big dipper. the following stars are followed in order: i. alkaid ii. mizar iii. alioth iv. megrez v. dubhe vi. merak vii. phecda • rising glare rising glare, the last of embla's repetoire of skills, is a physical-based sleight that follows the theme of the four seasons. embla will sweep her partisan around in a pirouette fashion, brushing back enemies. the number of rotations and the speed of the rotations increase with each repeated use of the technique. in total, four rotations can be achieved, and with each complete turn embla is capable of taking several steps forward, making this technique similar to a swirling lancing moving forwards at a target. while this sleight in general is use for fending off large numbers of opponents, it is also effective in disengaging weapons from a single target due to the fast-paced spin of her ranseur partisan tearing at it. however, at best it may knock a weapon out of the enemy's hand. it isn't capable of tearing armour pieces off. each rotation is defined by the four seasons, and once winter phase is reached, it will revert back to spring. i. spring ii. summer iii. autumn iv. winter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - FACE CLAIM, [b]BLEACH[/b], kuchiki rukia PLAYER, RIOT • FEMALE • AND I PLAY ONE CHARACTER EMBLA SÁGA • -/- • -/- YOU CAN REACH ME VIA ( PM & C-BOX ONLY )
