Ailor Mechanics:
- Ailor are masters of languages, which is expected given their habit to culturally divide. Because so many of their languages are inter-connected, various words become more obviously related, and they also take more effort to learn other languages. If someone insults an Ailor, even in a language they do not speak, the Ailor would know, as they know most curse words or words by which to speak ill of others in all languages.
- Ailor are the masters of the Regalian Empire, and while it has equality between all peoples and heritages, Ailor are just by virtue of being Ailor considered preferential for most government positions and judicial situations. Where possible to do with the Nobility, with Government, or with Palace decisions, Ailor will be treated preferentially over other peoples, even if their qualifications might be lesser than the other options.
- Ailor when using Syncretism can worship up to three Gods of their sub-dominant Religion, instead of just one or two. Additionally, when Syncretizing, they gain the Mechanic of the sub-dominant Religion (except for Evolism, where only one of the Mechanics can be chosen). If your Character does not Syncretize, they gain +1 Attack Stat (Breaking Cap up to 11) against Characters that have Syncretized their mono-faith.
- Common (native)
- Altalar (fluent)
- Sign language (learning)
Backstory"I'm so proud of everything I've learned and accomplished. It's worth it to see the smile on my patient's face at the end of the day."
- Annabelle was born in a quiet neighborhood within the confines of Regalia with her mother and her father, Linnie May and Maxwell May, on August 5th, 288 AC. For the majority of her upbringing, she was an only child with no siblings.
- Annabelle has always had a close relationship with her family, especially her father. During her childhood, she would spend a lot of quality time with him, and he was very loving towards her. To this day, she still goes to him for advice and guidance, trusting him with all her heart. She would also help her mother around the house, and her mother also taught her how to read and write in Common as well as do basic arithmetic.
- Annabelle began expressing interest in alchemy at a young age, fascinated by what things could be done with it, primarily treating illnesses and injuries. She'd begun studying the subject on her own at twelve years of age.
- At fourteen years of age, Annabelle's parents agreed to send her back and forth between her home in Regalia and Akademie von Kaiserman in Heltover to formally teach her alchemy. She studied there for six years until she graduated at twenty years old.
- When Annabelle was eighteen years old, her mother gave birth to a baby girl named Elizabeth. Annabelle loves her younger sister dearly, and is eager to teach her to follow in her footsteps.
- Annabelle moved out of the house at nineteen years of age. During this time, she made a few friends and picked up an entry-level job at the Fier et Calme Teahaus owned by the Peirgarten family. She was also very shy, and introverted, having a difficult time approaching new people to start conversations or get to know them.
- At twenty years old, Annabelle married a Maquixtl, and agreed with him to get out of Regalia and immigrate to Ashaven. She learned Altalar in order to speak to him in his native tongue. Their relationship fell apart after a while due to complications, and she was divorced by him. Without the money to travel back to Regalia, she stayed in Ashaven and took up a job as an alchemist and a healer, and she found herself working closely with the Llynburh chapter of the Aelrrigan Order, who taught her extensive medical knowledge and how to use her skills in alchemy to heal the sick and wounded. During this time, she also familiarized herself with Chemtech and Steamtech to create powerful tools in her field for administering care to her patients.
- After several years of practicing medicine and treating the sick and wounded in Ashaven while under the teaching of the Aelrrigan Order, Annabelle could no longer handle being away from her friends and family for so long. She has now set out to reunite with them, and put her skills to use in Regalia as a healer.
Plot Hooks"I'm just your average Ailor woman. I promise."
- Because she's mundane, Annabelle struggles intensely with feeling inadequate. She often questions the value of her work, wondering why she should even bother with mundane medicine when mages might simply do her job better than her. She is also incapable of treating ailments inflicted by Occult forces - vampire bites, mind control, possession, curses, and more. These contribute to a sense of anxiety over feeling useless and helpless in her field of work. It's very tempting for her to seek out magical power in the pursuit of becoming a better healer, but Annabelle is yet aware of the dangers and corrupting influence of magic.
- Annabelle is not particularly brave. She wants to learn to defend herself better, but doesn't trust most people to teach her. Far too often she witnesses "sparring matches" become a brutal fight where the participants almost mortally wound each other.
- Annabelle likes to talk about and tinker with technology and alchemy, even trying to fuse the two together. She mainly likes to experiment with Chemtech, but also builds things with Steamtech from time to time as well. She is sometimes seen wearing a gauntlet on her right hand made of Chemtech, which she uses to administer healing through the usage of mists and salves. Recently, she has also built a couple of Steamtech tools for accomplishing the same task.
- Annabelle hates being taken for granted as a healer. She won't hesitate to treat the sick and wounded, but to see her work cheapened or under-appreciated will infuriate her. To her, the medical profession is one deserving of honor and dignity. It isn't some get-out-of-jail-free card to allow others to be as reckless or violent as they want without any consequences.
- As a dedicated healer and technician, Annabelle's patron Unionist deities are Ness and Al-Asir. She believes she can honor them through her work by applying her extensive expertise in both technology and medicine to care for the sick and injured. She is relatively new to building prosthetic limbs, but she is showing a lot of promise in her efforts to design them.
- Normally, Annabelle has a kind, gentle, even disarming attitude. She is afraid of offending people however, and when she feels apprehensive or anxious, her tone reflects this and she also begins to stutter a little bit.
- Annabelle has a pet bird who takes on the form of a robotic Chemtech hawk. She built him herself, and he can sometimes be seen with her. She calls this hawk Percy.
Relationships- Lieven Gwentyr (@Trackedpilled)
"You're sweet, Lieven. I always knew you to be a gentleman, deep down. But I'm not the woman you knew all those years ago. I've changed."
In 306 AC, Annabelle spent a considerable amount of quality time with Lieven. They were separated when Annabelle left to go to Ashaven, and did not see each other again for years until July 13, 312 AC when they stumbled across each other in Amontaar, sharing a hug in their unlikely but welcome reunion.
- Alan Arrand (@jono_98)
"I missed you, Alan. We'll both stay in Regalia from now on, right? It'll be just like the good old days."
Alan is a friend that Annabelle met at a small institution called the Marble House in 306 AC. Alan and Annabelle have known each other for a long time, growing close even as they were separated. They were reunited in Amontaar on July 16, 312 AC, with them both happy to see each other.
Miscellaneous Info- Annabelle is commonly referred to as "Anna" by her friends. She has other nicknames, too, including "Rose" (which is her middle name) and "Belle", but these are pet names and she would not take kindly to being referred to that way by most people.
- Annabelle likes to write in a journal from time to time to help process her thoughts. If she is feeling angry, frustrated, or sad, she may write an entry in her journal about it.
- Annabelle is a sucker for simple pleasures. She loves being at home and especially loves a warm fire with a book and good food.
- Annabelle prefers not to drink alcohol. This is something she will do little to justify, and won't take kindly to being pressured to do otherwise.
