[Cyanea]

Our anchor we'll weigh, our sails we will set biography Born beneath the waters of Arith, she watched curiously as the ships above moved back and forth as shadow upon the water. That curiosity brought her above the waves as a teenager, and she has never looked back. Settling into a small human fishing village, she helped them with their seasonal harvest and earned enough money to travel towards, slowly and over a number of years, Arith. It was not until she was captured by Pirates that she found her true calling, and used her magical abilities to aid the ship. That ship was captured by The Crimson Rose, the captain of which was so enamoured by her beauty, she was made ships mage. … name : Cyanea … contact : (( ardent idolatry )) … race : Aventi … homeland : Avilon … religion : Follower of Dannui … known languages : Common, Mere, Aquan and Sylvan … alignment : Chaotic Neutral … loyalty : The Syndicate … flaws : Curiosity, Cold-Blooded, Mr. Nice Guy … quirks : Autophobia dice statistics … rank : Topaz Adept … dice : 2d40 … hp : 20 … ddc : 14 (QCK) … magic strike : +6 (INT) … spell ddc : 16 (INT) … physical strike : - classes & professions … primary class : Combat … primary profession : Swashbuckler … secondary class : Arcane … secondary profession : Mage tactics, traits and talents STR QCK PERC INT WLP END CHA 0 4 0 6 0 0 1 Diplomacy Intimidation Bluff Disguise Stealth Insight +6 +1 +1 +1 +4 - Spot Listen Athletics Climb Jump Swim - - +5 +5 +5 +5 Acrobatics Tumble Balance Disable Traps Lockpicking Thievery +9 +9 +9 +4 +4 +4 Locate Traps Escape Sleight Appraise Gather Info Knowledge - +4 +4 - +1 +6 (+16) Ride Nature Use Object +4 +6 +4 skills racial skills Amphibious Aventi can breathe water or air, equally well, without any limitations.
