Description

Name: Odessa Weird, Sister of the Astral Library

Age: 32

Height: 5'

Key Weapon: Martial arts (unarmed combat/chi based combat)

Hobbies: Writing, reading, meditating, exploring and working for the Astral Library

Appearance: Born in the western mountains of Veritas, she has tanned, thick body bordering on the muscular side from years of training. Other significant features are blueish black hair that is kept short, blue eyes and the 'third eye' in the form of a small crystal adhered to her forehead.   Odessa is occasionally seen with glasses, often kept hidden in a pocket when not needed. Known only to a very small amount of people is the fact she is actually a Hive individual of the Amrahkuhsa collective, with her actual appearance looking akin to a humanoid snow leopard. This is hidden through the use of a glamor (see below).

Personality: Having spent some time amongst various caravans and bodyguard work, Odessa tends to be friendly and easy going. She tends to be curious of most things, particularly of artifacts from bygone eras. Often focused on things in the near future then the immediately now, the monk ideally prefers ending a situation as quickly as possible when it comes to combat.

Expanded History: Raised and trained at the Astral Library located in western mountain range near Veritas, Odessa spent her time honing her skills in both literary and martial fields before undergoing the bonding ritual to the elder Kampia Amrahkuhsa. When the time came, she joined the field division of the order, serving as a caravan guard to the various small villages surrounding the Library. Later, the duties involved aiding the occasional expedition to the Dnachi ruins. It has only been with the last year that she advanced to the position of 6th Claw in the order, and tasked with recovering a relic of a bygone era. Having heard of rumors of a possible site in Lustra, Odessa worked her way south whether through occasional labor work or caravan guarding. It is through one such guard duties that she came to join the Knights, helping keeping lanes of travel secure. Her particular nature is known to those that need to know along with Princess Heart herself.

What Does Your Knight Do in Battle: Body guarding/ending the fight quickly

What Does Your Knight Do Outside of Battle: See hobbies, helping shoulder burdens

Special Skills: As part of her training in the fighting style of the monks of the Astral Fist, Odessa can interact and damage astral/spirt based entities by channeling chi externally. She can also temporarily boost her physical performance several times their normal state. Alternatively, this training can be used to promote healing for a regenerative effect, though both uses can only be used so long before it becomes taxing. More advanced techniques involve projecting the chi into larger blows by encasing her limbs to increase their size or increase the range of the attack by up to five feet. The extreme techniques involve manifesting said chi into an explosive release. The potency of such techniques comes with greater stress on the body, limiting their use for situations that are dire. As part of the training to harness the various chi abilities, Odessa has knowledge of pressure points in the human body, and can make use of her speed to make use of it if the situation calls for it.

Outside of combat, Odessa often can blend in with a crowd, and has exploited this often when tagging along on bodyguard missions. As part of the scholarly side of their training, she is well versed in several languages, especially with that of the ruins in the desert in western Veritas.   Another talent involves the making of simple paper talismans, often simple magic to bolster strengths or remove deliberating effects when applied to a target. These talismans involve infusing parts of her Hive based link to store a small charge, which quickly burns out after a few hours if left unused, versus the several minutes of active use depending on the charm.

Lastly, due to some prior recovery operations, the monk has some experience in dealing with hazardous relics and other artifacts of antiquity along with general first aid.

Notable Quirks or Character Aspects: The crystal on her forehead is notably magical in nature, giving the monk's body a glamor like effect (though as the effect is meant to be subtle, it is designed to be hard to identify readily) of a regular human.   Odessa is also noted for being an excellent climber, meditating in the sun and being particularly perceptive. She is far stronger then she looks. Those with any strong scent abilities may note that the monk seems off for a human.

Anything Else: Odessa has cultivating relations with both Noble houses of Carotte and Aurore due to similar interests and experiences. She has even been known to consult or even work for either Houses when free time presents itself.

Revised 12/11/15 to include mention of Hive information, and her hidden nature.
Currently work in progress for 's project, created with their knight generator. Full history will be revealed later. Picture updated thanks to
