Character Background:
.:: Guides ::.
- Impilter
- Birth: Omen
- Geography: Forest
- Geography: Urban
- Society: Noble
- Occupation: Scholar

Viona was born 20 springs ago to the aristocracy of the House of the Capulets in the land of Impilter. The House of the Capulets was not spared the ongoing corruption in the land and became a demon worshipping family. They went about their dark rituals in secret, hidden away from the rest of the land.

When Viona was born, a foreboding red star rose into the sky and was consumed by the night sky, leaving behind a darkness over the land that very night, as if signifying that the demon the family worshipped demands her sacrifice.

Viona was watched closely for the rest of her childhood as she was kept away from people. Every now and then, the Capulets will bring her out, as if to parade her off as some trophy. Needless to say, she hated the urban city that showed her only eyes of disdain and nothing else.

Nevertheless she loved her family, they showered her love and care, which was contrasted by the unpleasant feelings being in the city that gave her.

She doesn't know that the city hated the Capulets, not her. It was not her fault to be born to the Capulets.

In order to handle some of this dread, she would run off occasionally into the forest, leaving her servants behind. It was in those woods that she found much solace in. The feeling of being surrounded by nature gave her a heart warming sensation which even her family could not provide her.

When the day of her 15th spring came, Viona was now taking daily strolls into the forest nearby. The animals have grown accustomed to her presence and are able to approach her with no fear.

That day however was slightly different, a man laid on the spot where she often laid to study her scrolls and books. Around him were the usual animals that surrounded her. Curious about this sight, she slowly approached him.

"Good morro young sir. What brings you out here?"

The young man turned and looked at her

"Good morro to you too young lady. Do you mind if I laid here? These animals were talking to me about you."

And those words of greetings led them into an unbreakable bond in the years to come.

Roxeo, a nature-loving, warden-in-training, was born to the opposing family of the Capulets. He was a Montague. Viona had no knowledge about this feud between the families and carelessly hung around him.

They both enjoyed each another's company and exchanged their knowledge. The forest served to be their playground allowing them room and time to grow closer to each another.

On the day of her 16th spring, Roxeo, now 17, suggested they attended the spring festival in the city. This year. they were having a masquerade at the city centre. Viona was hesitant at first but Roxeo quickly convinced her and they both attended the masquerade.

The masquerade was amazingly fun for Viona. Roxeo was easily identified as a Montague since he attended the festival with the same disguise all the time. No one knew Viona was a Capulet and the Montagues were well respected in the city. For once, Viona felt how it was like to be respected by the city that she found much dread in.

Thanks to that, she remained light-hearted throughout the entire night. As an ender to the festival, the local mage fired off fireworks into the night sky and lit the place up. Roxeo took this chance and seized the moment to grab Viona by her waist and planted his kiss on her. Viona accepted him and they both had a wondrous night together.

During the night, Viona finally realised that the house of the Capulets and the Montagues have a long standing feud - the Montagues have been the city's guardians for ages but the Capulets bought their way into the aristocracy through unorthodox means. The Montagues have since despised the Capulets and the Capulets likewise. Both Roxeo and Viona did not care about the feud and fell in love together.

They both decided to pray to Sune to seek her blessings in granting their love a chance for fruition and hopefully, able to end the feud between the two families.

Viona had been studying on Nature and its wonders. Having turned 16, she decided that being a scholar that sought knowledge on how co-existing with Nature might help her find out how to resolve the feud between their families.

She taught at the local school under a fake name and in disguise.
Everyday, after school, she would rendezvous with Roxeo in the forest and they enjoyed loving days for a while.

The Capulets knew what she was doing but left her be since they would soon have her sacrificed to their demon lord. Her love with the Montagues would probably become a weapon unlike any other for the Capulets.

And soon, the Accursed day draws near... As the 18th spring of Viona's time came...

The Accursed Day, as Viona calls it, was a dark day. The sky was overcast, the animals stopped their cacophony of chatter. And in the spot where she normally laid, stood her family, all ready to bring her to their dark ritual. Roxeo was nearby atop the trees observing and followed them back to the city. There they branched off their normal homebound route and entered the sewers. He followed suit. Viona, to her innocence, had no idea what was abut to unfold.

Deep in the sewers was a secret passageway unknown to the guardians of the city. There, it led to a dark and sinister cave. The cave smelt of blood, the scent was so strong that Viona fainted from it.

~ a short time passes ~

Viona awakes to a dank and dark cavernous place, her naked body laid with her back facing up. The candle lit walls showed traces of red paint-like smudges. She suspected it could have been blood. Her family stood in a circle around her and she was chained down to a stone table. She could vaguely make out some of the glowing ritual symbols on the table.

Finally it dawned upon her that her family fell to demon-worshipping. This abrupt realisation made her panic and she struggled against the chains that bound her.

"Daddy? Mummy? Nana? What is happening? Why am I not dressed? Why am I tied down here?"

Nana (Grandma) tells her, "My dear~ Since your birth, we have planned for this moment. The red rising star was swallowed by darkness. That was the message our lord has bestowed upon us to carry out today. For today is the moment of your rising."

"There is no other way", softly spoken by the Master of the Capulets.

"Our lord demands your blood and sacrifice", squealed the Lady Capulet.

At that moment, the entire cavernous room burst into chanting. Viona could see her father, mother and grandmother start praying and worshipping towards her. Viona turned and looked and saw a portal slowly form.

Roxeo could take this no more and burst out from where he hid and dashed towards Viona, cutting down anyone that blocked him. However the Master Capulet knew that this might happen and prepared runes in advance. As Roxeo stepped into the runic array, he froze and ceased to move. All he could do now was watch in vain as Viona became sacrificed to the demons the Capulets worshipped.

The Lady Capulet approached Viona and slashed Viona's wrists, drenching the ritual table with her flowing blood. Viona screamed in pain and agony as tears rolled down her face.

"WHY!? WHYYY?!" Screamed Viona as she slowly lost her sanity. Memories of the loving faces of her family flew past her and she tries hard to believe this is actually happening.

Finally as the last of the warm images flew past, she gave in to despair and let out a final yell, "ROX!!!!!!!!!!!!!", and looked towards him.

Roxeo heard that final grasp for help and summoned all his might to break the spell that entrapped him. However each time he tried, the runes would discharge electrical pulses that shocked him. He did not give up and eventually one of the runes cracked. He summoned more might and finally broke free of the bonds that held him down.

What happened right after breaking free of his bonds happened so fast, Viona only saw it as slow as an eternity of pain. Roxeo dashed from where he was as members of the family gathered around him and get cut down by him. Limbs were flying all over the place; Heads were rolling; Screams were being let loose; Bodies were tossed everywhere. This sight was too much for Viona and she averted her vision and closed her eyes.

A smoking body now stands in front of Viona, a result of Roxeo's valiant attempt to rescue her.

Roxeo smiles and as he was going to break the chains that bound her, he was suddenly zapped by the Master Capulet.

"ROX!!! NOO!!!!" screamed Viona as she saw Roxeo slowly falling to the floor.

"No one shall disturb our ceremony!" screamed the Master Capulet as he staggered towards Viona.
He dug his hands into his pocket and pulled out a skin-like object.

He then begun to carve out a piece of Viona's flesh.

"ARRRRRR!!!!!! NO!!!! ARGH!!!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!! ARRRRR!!!!"

The cave resounded in her screams of pain.

When the screaming stopped, the Master Capulet had tattooed the demon skin he held onto the carved out flesh region of Viona's body.

What was left of Viona after this ordeal was akin to an empty shell, tears flowing endlessly out of her eyes. The ritual table now bloodied aplenty by Viona's blood had started to glow even more sinisterly.

Viona soon lost consciousness.

What happened next felt so warm and dreamlike, as if she was in paradise along with Roxeo. It was there they met a radiant being that felt warm and loving. It asked Roxeo if he wanted to save Viona at the exchange of being unable to be raised from the dead. Viona shook her head but Roxeo pushed Viona gently aside.

"Yes! Even if it's for a few hours, a few minutes or even a few seconds."

The being smiled and next she knew, Viona was back in the nightmarish cave.

Rox stood up and skewered the Master Capulet with the nearby spear he reached for on the floor.

At that moment the portal opened and hundreds and thousands of flying demons flew out of the portal and headed out of the cave for the city.

Roxeo ignored what was happening and struggled to free Viona of her chains. When he was done, he stumbled and struggled to pull her limp body along. The weakened and dazed Viona could barely make out what was happening. She also heard sounds of people screaming in the city above.

Roxeo pulled them both out of the cave and headed for the forest, cutting down and demonkind that approached them. In his fights against these demonkind, he suffered more mortal wounds.

Outside, the city was in a mess. The sky was overcast, an unnatural darkness surrounded them and it was hard to move around in. Bodies of the citizens were everywhere. Blood was being spilled at every corner of the city.

Members of the city guard saw him and approached to assist him. However when they saw the body Roxeo carried was of Viona's, they hesitated.

Seeing, Roxeo and the guards entering a flurry of debates, Viona let loose a shout, "I AM NO LONGER A CAPULET! DO NOT ASSOCIATE ME WITH THEIR KIND ANYMORE!"

That took the guard by surprise and they did not wish to know what led to this and assisted the lovers out of the city. They headed for the forest.

Finally the two of them were successful in hiding in the forest.
Distant screams could still be heard from where they are. But Viona did not care for the city anymore. In her eyes, there was only Roxeo, and Roxeo alone.

She gathered her strength and held him close and kissed him.
As Roxeo pulled away, he smiled as his body started to glow. Orbs of light were coming out of his body, his lifeforce draining, his soul detaching from his body.

"No... I don't want this. I don't want to lose you too"

"This is the end of the contract I guess," said a joking Roxeo.

"Take care my love, I will always be beside you. You will never be alone, believe me..."
And just as he said this, the last orb of light left his body and he fell limp on top of Viona.

Viona cried for the last time that night as she let herself loose the entire night.

Day broke and she buried Roxeo in the spot under the tree that they always laid down at.

She went back into the city and saw that all that remained were corpses strewn across the streets, balconies, window panes, skewered atop spires and floating in the fountain. She could not bear this sight and left the city forever.

(what happened next is not fully known as the ways of the Shaman are not to be mentioned to the uninitiated)
She went to the nearby village and came upon the village shaman summoning the spirit of the animals from her totem. Thinking she may be able to summon the spirit of Roxeo, she asked to learn the ways of the Shaman and the Village Shaman took her in as if she was her daughter.

The next Spring, she was well learned in the ways of the shaman. She went back to the forest and dug out the remains of Roxeo where she used them to create her totem.

When she was done with it, she summoned the spirit Roxeo and was moved by the sight. Roxeo stood there, the same smile he had when he left her.

"What took you so long?"

---

Extra Travels:
The following spring, Viona met Drad Mi in her travels as a Shaman and swiftly befriended her. Their stories of travel will be revealed over time.

She was asked to be her bridesmaid for Drad Mi's wedding. After the wedding Drad Mi pleaded her to follow Gond and make sure he doesn't stray from their marriage. She then passed Viona a special spirit stone which allows the surroundings near Viona to be projected visually and audibly to the other bearer of the stone, in Drad Mi's hands, no matter the distance.

The plea conditions were:
- To stay by Gond as far much as possible.
- To plant the stone near Gond even if he was having his private moments such as bathing.
- To stay as secret as possible. (Gond you did not read all of these)
- In the event where they have to choose to be separated, a chunk of the stone may be broken off and slipped into Gond's belongings.

*The separated chunk can be reforged back into the stone by placing them together. The smaller chunk may only project the visions around Gond but not the ambient sound around.

---

Personality
An individual with a quirky trait unlike others - she is obsessed with her totem.
Disregarding the quirk, she is a warm-hearted gentle girl who advocates peace above violence. Though, when angered, she chases her targets down with the aid of her spirit companion.
Being a worshipper of Sune, she tries to shower love and affection but her past history keeps her from doing so readily.

She has a weird fascination for skewering things, especially if they looked demonlike... It is said that she could be worst than a demon when it came to skewering things.

Such a personality has made her past adventuring parties treat her with fearful respect and uncomfortable disgust as no one wanted to be at the pointy end of her spear...

---

Traits
Often seen fiddling around with her totem when she is left alone. She carries an aura of affection whenever she does this. The spirit companion is often hugging her from behind when she is in this trance-like behaviour.

Whenever she calls upon Roxeo, she tends to conjure him up in various adventuring attires. These attires are remnants of her memories of what he used to wear.

Fiercely protective of her precious totem, she will never let anyone handle it unless there is little choice. Occasionally while travelling in a group, she fondles the totem, as if to sooth the loneliness in her heart. Such a behaviour has led her past adventuring parties to treat her with disgust. It was Drad Mi who understood and accepted her for who she was. Especially since Gond was always light on his feet...

Whenever possible, she communicates with Drad Mi daily via the spirit stone that Drad Mi passed her. This is Drad Mi's tool for Viona to keep Gond in line. She slips the stone near Gond whenever he's bathing, under Drad Mi's orders. As of such, Viona is nearly always following Gond.

Drad Mi told Gond of a story about Viona; There was once a patron in the bar that tried to put his hands on her, and those hands reached places it shouldn't... She is very particular about the Demonskin tattooed on her lower back. She doesn't want anyone to see it nor touch it, threatening to skewer anyone who dares try.
That drunk fool knew not what he was facing and found himself tied, hanging above a pointed stick the very next day. If he did more stupid things, that would have been one hell of a shish kebab... Such probably began her preference of the use of spears and longspears...

[eternasky]

taking a lil break from putting up the info.

Point to note:
Leonard, is it ok for the spirit companion to be her dead lover in this case since her roleplay history and totem use is based heavily on this. Refer below. I was checking up the houserules.

Regarding personal roleplay powers, there's an encounter one I'll like to put in (Bonds of Love and Friendship) / modify (Bonds of the Clans) which affects the Spirit companion due to the Spirit being her dead lover. In essence it helps her/an ally tank damage as an immediate interrupt upon successful hit from any creature but as a result the spirit may or may not dissappear. Spirit appears to take target's spot and target will be slided 1 squares adjacent to the Spirit as a result. If the spirit dissappears, the target will be pushed +1 after sliding; else roll d20 and push on odd number, spirit dissappears and have to be resummoned; if even number, spirit sustains self but no push. Proper format below:

reference: thedragonorb.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=houserules&action=display&thread=46
- Bonds of Love and Friendship (Viona Personal Utility 2) -
Sensing pertinent danger, he quickly comes to the rescue

She also has a tattoo resembling the Demonskin tattoo on her back due to the Accursed Day in her Character history. (will be fleshing it up by next session) Is it possible for her to have that Tattoo effect? (Demonskin Tattoo Lv3: AV2) - May consider adding extra property such that the tattoo burns an ongoing 1 physical damage when within X squares of a demon and stops when adjacent or within Y squares to the demon compelling her to rush against the demon (Fight: vengeance, revenge; or Flight: Fear of the demon and cowers not approaching it).
Other tattoos can be added on top of this.
For all her wisdom, she can't ever surpass that hatred she bears for demons for killing Roxeo.

So two things requested, the utility encounter Power and the Demonskin Tattoo which can have other tattoos added onto.

Requested power cards:

Is Viona black? sorry I mean african american skin color.

[eternasky]

ar.... nope... she's just dark tanned from all the adventuring and somewhat of the hispanic type. She loves Nature. Changed her portrait a tad bit.

[eternasky]

I'll get the powers in another time... background just finished.
hope the new power can be used

[eternasky]

all powers written in.
Hoping the self-made powers can be accepted

[thedungeonmaster]

I believe it wouldn't be a problem on the requests that you made, will discuss with you in depth on the next gaming session

[eternasky]

Updated.
The Demonic Tattoo auto upgrades itself btw.
(sentient growth)

Roleplay: forces the character to engage demonic beings with utmost hatred. Compels her to strike at them as priority targets.

Question:
Can I make the Bonds of Love and Friendship rechargable?
recharges on 1

@ paragon recharges on 1 and 6

[thedungeonmaster]

If the PHB allows the power to be rechargeable, then by all means apply it to your own created power. But if its something you want to add in on your own without reference to any PHB alignment. Then, sorry, only my monsters have rechargeable powers. WAHAHAHA~!!

[elijin]

if we can have rechargeable for PC powers, even I agree that's gay.

One day, the party awakes to find Viona missing. All that is left is the stone she uses to communicate with Drad Mi and a note
"Gone to kill the bitch"
