"Priez le Père Lune, ô misérables pécheurs, afin qu'il ait pitié de votre âme, car je vous donnerai pas!"
Name: Karan Lavallée
Age: 30
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 160 lbs
Race: Human; Demon-Touched
Profession: Minor Noble, Devout Mercenary, Professional Melancholic
Personality: With an expression of heavy melancholy, she is certainly not a favourite among social gatherings. Demon-touched and, in her opinion, cursed, she finds it hard to take joy in things, although occasionally she loses grip on her veneer of crushing depression and finds the time to laugh. She's utterly devout, and when she is not defending innocents or brooding, she is deep in prayer. Despite her proficiency with her weapon, she is a very kind-hearted soul and hates killing, even when it is necessary, and more than once have tears of sorrow and regret been witnessed on her face in the midst of battle. She's a valuable and loyal friend, to the point of allowing herself to be used poorly... so long as the cause can be justified. She's not the type to be easily angered, but once her wrath has been earned, it is like Hell itself has been unleashed upon the Earth.
Description: Tall, and less stocky than you would think a wielder of an oversized great sword would be, she tends to intimidate people when close by. Her hair is long, slightly unkempt, and of a light brown shade. Her eyes are downturned, serving to highlight her melancholy even more, and appear as a soft grey for the most part, but take on a steely quality when determined or angered. On the rare occasions that she taps into her demonic curse, it is sworn they glow a faint rusty hue... She wears a modified version of the priestly garments of the Etoiles du Père, enough to show that she is a devout follower, but not of the clergy, and modified to allow ease of combat. It is a soft grey colour, lined in a dark, slate blue. Underneath she wears a short, grey-coloured shift and somewhat baggy, grey pants. Finishing the outfit is a pair of polished boots of good leather. She carries two sets of prayer charms, one underneath the coat, the other tied around her upper left arm. Completing her ensemble she has a thick, grey cloak that she wears when it is chilly or raining, and of course her massive, demonic great sword, from tip to shaft reaching up to her shoulders. While she can wield it with ease, anyone else who tries to use it will find it unbearably heavy, and quite possibly scalding to the touch.
Biography: Many generations ago, Therese Lavallée desired her noble house to withstand the test of time, and become great swordsmen like herself, skilled beyond measure and unbeatable in combat. To make this desire a reality, she struck a deal with demons, her soul and the soul of all her descendants, to make the family be great forever. The rest of her family being fairly devout (although Karan is extreme even to them), this did not go over well, but the deal was done and could not be undone. As a result, the Lavallée noble house has been one of extreme piety and devotion to the Father Moon and his three sons, in a hopes that one day he will save them of their suffering. Growing up in such an atmosphere, Karan's personality was infected with the melancholy of a family that knew it was doomed. One she reached the age of majority, she took to traveling, not content to just wait out her fate like her family before her. She was determined to find a way to break the deal and free her family from the eternal damnation that awaited its members. If not, she made the decision to have the family line end with her, and even at the 'undesirable' age of 30, she has not married or even thought of starting a relationship. She has attempted to abandon her demonic great sword numerous times, however the demons always bring it back to her. She once threw it in a volcano in an attempt to rid herself of it forever, but they merely put it right back in her hands. While still scalding hot.
Abilities: General survival skills (hunting, scouting, cooking, etc) due to her wanderings. She is beyond skilled with the great sword, although that can partially be attributed to the demons. To be clear, the demons only need to make sure she survives, intact enough to bear children, so 'winning' isn't an important priority for them (nor Karan), and they are fine with letting her get injured so long as it is not life-threatening. She can die, it just takes more effort than with a normal person (think of her as a low-level boss monster in an RPG, if you will).
Weaknesses: Poor socialisation skills, and she's terrible at haggling, meaning she tends to get ripped off when purchasing from merchants. She has difficulty seeing in low-lighting, so is at a disadvantage in the early morning, late evening, and night if there are no adequate levels of lighting, along with caves and dingy inn rooms and the like.
