An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.

001.

Discuss long term injuries/death beforehand

I love Aurelia and I'd prefer to see her alive and with all her limbs attached. I do understand though some risk in roleplay plots and if you'd like to have a tragic end for your character just discuss it with me beforehand so I'm not blindsided.

002.

Roleplaying

I really like long term rps so it's nice to discuss what ideas we have beforehand, but I'm also completely okay with walk up tells and one offs.

003.

Just be normal

Even if our characters bond really closely just be normal about being chill OOC. Don't feel like this needs to be explained too much, let's just be good friends and vibe.

❝This world is beautiful, I want to see every horizon that I can. I want to help people where I can. I wanna share that joy with you, if you'll come with me.❞

ㅤpersonalityㅤㅤAurelia is a gentle woman, one who dislikes senseless bloodshed. She has a deep craving for knowledge and enjoys travelling across the land.

The Dawn Mage

The Maiden

ㅤbiographyㅤㅤThe sun kissed the sky as Aurelia was born, feeling the tender touch of her mother as she opened her eyes for the first time. She was born into the Rousseau family, a house of minor nobility. Her mother was a traveler that her father had fallen for at first glance, having called off his previous betrothal to marry her mother instead. Aurelia would be raised alongside an older brother, Arthur Rousseau. He adored his sister even if he had to give her a cold shoulder due to his father's pressuring.It wouldn't take long for Aurelia to discover her gift for magick, one tempered and guided by her mother who also seemed to be a skilled mage. She would gift Aurelia a necklace, a high quality crystal that Aurelia could charge with excess aether. Her mother would tell her many stories about her people, a tribe full of women who all worshipped the world and were heavily entwinned with magick.While she was beginning to blossom into a young girl, Aurelia's father would send her to Sharlayan to cultivate her magickal ability. She had few friends in the academia despite being a prodigy, it was a rather lonely experience and she deeply missed her mother. She would finish her education with top marks, finally getting to go home to Ishgard. However, what awaited her there was sour news.Aurelia came home to a despicable man, her betrothed as her father would say. She had only met the man a couple times during her childhood, while he wasn't unkind to her...his view on others completely clashed with her own morals. He had a certain obsession with the young girl, an obsession that would bring harm to others who interacted with her out of jealousy. Aurelia would look for every reason possible to delay the marriage, until on her wedding knight an armored individual would snatch the bride to be from her betrothed. It was because of this individual that Aurelia would soon meet her new companions and begin her life as a travelling mage. Blossoming more into her power and acquiring new knowledge.

Gemcraft

Aurelia in her spare time charges crystals with her ether, using them as a valuable material for crafting, higher intensity spells, or to draw upon as a backup. An important function that connects to many of her spells and allows for a greater versatility when it comes to her magick.

For those she wishes to protect

Aurelia is quite adept at both healing magicks and providing shields to her allies. Can be used in conjunction with Gemcraft and Runic Magecraft to create deployable shields at certain locations.

Prodigal Mage

Aurelia and magick have always had a close bond since she was a girl. She was a generational prodigy who limited herself out of fear for not being able to control such intense power. Sense venturing out on her own she's beginning to learn to accept and master the power she has.

Thy Power From Thyself

Aurelia does not use a spell casting focus, rather she casts with her free hand. As she becomes stronger, her nimbleness with her spell casting increases.

Runic Magecraft

Runic magecraft is another side of Aurelia's magick that allows for greater versatility. She's capable of drawing runes on herself or others for enhancements or to apply adverse effects. Additionally, she can draw runes on objects or places to later be activated.

The blade that will kiss the dawn

Aurelia possess moderately good swordplay, though her melee skills pale in comparison to her magickal ability. She typically uses her weapon to create space enough to let herself cast spells without letting the enemy get too close.

Dawn's Arrow

A signature spell of Aurelia. She quickly shoots a charged crystal to create a heavy impacting beam. The intensity of the blast scales with how charged the crystal she used was.

She Who Does Not Fight Alone

Aurelia is quite competent in familiar summoning, using them to aid her in combat. Her familiars vary and typically she can summon things she's made contact with or have fought against. Though each summon takes on a different appearance from the one she would originally see.

To Aurelia, Norvandt was a cage she was placed into. She fell to doubt as she endlessly tried to search for a way home over the 4 years she was trapped there. It was the first time she felt so alone, trapped in a new place without her bodyguard.

ㅤTo the sky, once moreㅤ
