Backstory
Her existence was a secret from all but a few, these few being deceased. Nurawibera, Crown Princess of the Aurora Ridge Empire, was born to Crown Prince Fjorin Froststone of the Frostvein Kingdom and Crown Princess Thalara Embermoon of the Aurora Ridge Empire. Two different kingdoms, one a mountainous forest next to the coast of the elves which was ruled by blood elves and a swampy mountain kingdom of the dwarves, only a vast desert separated them. It was a forbidden love between the crown Prince and Princess, the Princess a beautiful enchantress and skilled archer who loved adventuring while the prince was a skilled and cherished blacksmith. The young heir and heiress should not have been able to meet yet they did when Thalara got caught in a sandstorm in the desert while hunting for food whereas Fjorin would find himself lost from a caravan and injured due to bandits in the area. If only they had known these bandits would spell trouble, the young Prince might have not spared them.
This secret friendship continued and grew into love, but Fjorin was pressured to take a wife, however his heart lay with the enchantress that had saved his life. While not as tense as dwarf goblin relations or dwarf orc relations, their marriage would not be allowed for the two kingdoms had not been in the best of terms, neither allies nor enemies yet maintaining a frosty relationship. Suspicious of his sister's leaving constantly instead of seeking a suitor, her second oldest brother would follow her and discover the pair of star crossed lovers meeting in secret and drag his sister back, their parents forbidding Thalara from seeing Fjorin. Yet war soon came which was a threat to both kingdoms, causing a political alliance to form and the forbidden was thrown out the window when war came to both kingdoms' doorsteps.
Years passed and soon a son was born, Ithill. Eventually the queen of dwarves passed, leading his father to rule alone but sickness soon captured the king, forcing Fjorin to take up kingly duties early. For a time the war abated…this was the calm before the storm for as the tides are pushed and pulled with the moon, so too is the eye of the hurricane calm yet wild outside. It was why the couple, now king and yet still a princess, were out speaking to the people that their son was assassinated and thus a hard decision was made. Their three year old daughter, born fifteen years after their son, was given away to a pair of elves in an outer lying village to be raised in safety. Safety was not to be for Thalara was slain leaving the village. The death of their future king, even if he were a hybrid, was not taken lightly and the war continued with a vengeance. A raid on the village, when young Nurawibera was seven, resulted in her being captured and her adoptive parents and village slain or taken prisoner. This was not the only thing to occur for her people, dwarf and elf, had been enslaved or killed whom her mother's entire family was wiped out. Despite being treated as an outcast for her hybrid nature, Nurawibera learned to use a bow, showing skill with blade, axe and bow as her dual heritage gave her.
Nurawibera was taken to the mines of the enemy where she trained under an old dwarf who served as a mentor and recognized her as their princess, yet never spoke of it. She was found to be a quick study and thus, instead of being used as a sexual slave, she was forced to make armor and weapons for the enemy. Never knowing of her father's kin being nearly extinct, she toiled for years. Yet even in the mines she was treated as an outsider, however her skill in the forge couldn't he denied. It was during these years that a young dragon, injured and having escaped captivity himself from a vampire came to Nurawibera and asked for help. She did her best to heal him up, the pair ending up bonding. Something entirely unexpected on both beings. Yet he too was captured and exploited.
Eventually, the dragon who came to reveal himself as Tatsuya, helped Nurawibera to escape and they fled, this a few months after finding out she was the crown Princess from her dying mentor on his death bed. Making their way to her former lands, she discovered a charred land, and this awakened her lingering magic. Foolishly taking only two and a half years to learn it, she and Tatsuya went back to the enemy, confronting a magician but were no match for the stronger sorcerer. They were hit with a blinding night, Tatsuya rushing to protect his rider and found themselves in another world. Now they find themselves alone, Nurawibera having forsaken her royal heritage to heal by becoming an assassin rogue, trusting only in Tatsuya and fearing getting close to anyone.

He grew up in a small village known for its skilled craftsmen and artisans on a dying world, once like earth but years of pollution and radiation caused it to begin dying.

Dr. Thorn vanished from his laboratory and isolated himself from society only to find himself and his companions in the past on a parallel earth when they were attacked, still cursed with the monster he became, still haunted by visions of a past life he cannot grasp, and cursed with the dangerous ether, that if released, can cause destruction to another world.

⸻⠀the story⠀⸻
Kalwala's childhood was not an easy one, her parents having lived in Tethis until they were driven out, seeking shelter within the wilds. Her father was a former soldier turned guard escorting caravans about the known world while her mother was from humble yet destitute beginnings who rose to become a priestess. A priestess of which god, she never disclosed. It was there that her mother bore triplets, two sons (Sabathiel and Vurnulor) and a daughter (Kalwala). Regardless, her mother had given up her service as a priestess, at least in Tethis, by the time she fell for the guard who deserted his duty. It was her mother who helped to train her daughter in magic, having some knowledge of it, her parents hiring a tutor. This mentor proved to become a close friend of Kalwala.
An incident in early childhood by mysterious figures, resulted in Kalwala being kidnapped and thrown onto a funeral pyre, thus creating scarring in her back and near death. Yet, it also created a fear of fire in the child. By luck or fate her screams attracted someone who saved the child yet despite the healing, naught could be done for the burns inflicted. Vurnulor, as the oldest of the triplets blamed himself for Kalwala's scars and vowed to atone when old enough to be on his own, taking his chance one winter evening on a hunt.
Yet, fate is a cruel and unforgiving mistress by design. Her father had perished some years before, searching for those who had harmed his daughter yet despite his former life as a guard and soldier, he was killed. Raiders and mysterious figures who were whispered to be a cult appeared, attacking the village; killing the men, old and sick while taking the women of childbearing age and children. The village, suffering from attacks and raids as well as the harsh winter of the previous year stood no chance. Only a few men, those young enough and fit enough to work were taken as well to be sold as slaves. Kalwala and Sabathiel were separated and watched their mother die to the hands of this 'cult' yet it allowed young Sabathiel to escape and disappear. Kalwala found herself taken to Khare at the age of nine and sold to an orc merchant who owned a caravan, a possessive and cruel being.

Personality:
Geranium enjoys being outdoors by the sea when she can or stargazing, albeit now through Akzundit. She is heterosexual. Geranium tends to avoid anyone who are seriously injured so their wounds don't transfer to her which can sometimes happen without her wanting it, and is deeply devoted to serving Rordintyss and their gods. She finds it difficult to trust others, having taken only to her fellow dragon sages and the other seer as well as the few eggs that have hatched of Rordintyss's clutch.
Around others, she has a compassionate heart, excited to learn magic, though keeps to herself out of fear of being used again for others' nefarious purposes. She wants to learn all she can to help others, even if it means the cost of her life, having always been a gentle and carefree child in her youth. When she can, she will go out and walk at night with Akzundit. Yet alone, she withdraws into herself, only interacting with Akundzit as she is heavily reliant on him. She has to be careful when having visions if she tries seeing too far or chases a vision, as she can become vision locked, that is trapped in the vision and it can be hard to get outs. Vision lock also can potentially kill her if she cannot get out of it.
Her blindness can also be exploited by enemies, making her vulnerable in certain situations. She also faces dangerous foes who seek to exploit her magical talents for their own nefarious purposes. Often she is drawing or writing, trying to make sense of her visions and prophecies, yet is most scared about those of herself, being unamused to change them. Sometimes she feels like she wants to watch the world burn around her, to harm those who hurt her and may do so in the future. Yet she also has a dark side that wants to try delving into more Goetry and maybe runic magic as well…even though both magics frighten her. Even though to delve into more Goetry will tarnish her soul. She feels like she is better off alone out of fear of being betrayed and hurt, fear that others won't understand her, fear of harming others and though she loves her solitude, she wishes for friends who may understand her, even if she posed a danger with her healing those who are injured. She wants to be respected, powerful and cherished but fears others will reject her due to her blindness and healing…her slow descent into madness and a tainted soul.
Geranium shares a close bond with her pseudowyvern companion, who acts as her eyes in the physical world. She is fiercely loyal to her pet and considers it her closest friend. Geranium has a few acquaintances in the dragon sage village she lives in but struggles to form deep connections due to her isolation and unique abilities. Geranium's biggest weakness is her pride and stubbornness. She often refuses help from others and struggles to trust in anyone but herself. Her insecurities about her disability can also hinder her progress as a mage, causing self-doubt and anxiety in crucial moments. Geranium enjoys horse riding. She used to enjoy carving things out of wood and metal, learning from one of her brothers about metallurgy, woodcarving, and forging but with being a seer and blind, that's impossible now. To substitute that loss, she meditates to try calming her mind and make sense of the world around her.
Geranium believes in the power of magic to overcome any obstacle. She values loyalty, independence, and the pursuit of knowledge above all else. Geranium is driven by a desire to prove her worth to herself and others, and she will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Geranium's voice is determined and resilient, with a hint of vulnerability beneath her confident facade. She sees the world through a lens of magic and mystery, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth and adventure. Geranium's perspective is shaped by her unique experiences as a blind mage, giving her a fresh and insightful view of the world around her.
Homeworld: Xaythea, one of 23 planets in a binary star system with Xaythea having four moons and being a mega earth. With a 32-hour 5-season and long 616-day rotation and seventeen continents, it's a vast and alien world. Geranium never knew of the university, nor did any of the numerous races and hybrid races on Xaythea. Such higher education is beyond the varying peoples of Xaythea due to their current age, the Iron Age, with the highest education for boys being seminaries or apprenticeships with girls rarely going to school. Geranium only learned about the school through a vision when she was twenty and yet it took the rest of that year and the next to discover it again. However another vision, this time of her at the school, caused her to seek it out and with Rordintyss's blessing and counsel from their gods, Geranium took some belongings with Akzundit and had an Aurora Dragon (another cosmic dragon breed) open a portal for her.
Backstory:
Growing on the northern continent Vaizuin, Geranium was the fifth child of ten children and one of four girls. Born in the season Alsayf, Thunder Moon on Opocius alongside her twin brother Herodes. Geranium and her siblings were raised on a small farm in the village of Yomatta, a village made up of humans which is located in Avatar Forest. However, she was only one of two daughters alive, her other sisters having passed in childhood or after birth due to disease. Her oldest sister soon got married and moved away, leaving Geranium to help their mother with tending to the fields and livestock as well as caring for the housework and cooking. it was a quiet life, her second oldest brother getting a job in the mines, her oldest brother apprenticed to a carpenter. One of her older brothers taught her metal smithing and some woodwork when he saw she had an interest in what he did, despite them not being professions for women.
Yet, the seasons passed and after a couple years of bad crops hitting the village, including her father, it was decided the next thing was for Geranium to be married. Her father arranged it to a knight but Geranium, having heard the man was already married and rumored to be abusive fled in the night, dressing as a man and taking passage on a ship at thirteen where she worked as a cabin boy under the name Elias, learning to read and write under the care of a sailor who took pity on Geranium and protected her upon finding out she was a girl. Leaving the northern continent behind as well as her family, Geranium traveled the seas until they got to the continent Blaegacora. Getting off the ship, Geranium managed to find work as a servant for a noble in his manor but was subject to harassment her master and abuse from his wife. Not until a dragon rider friend of her master showed up and saw the abuse for himself after a year and a half did the elf take Geranium underneath his care, however she ended up attacking him out of fear, mistaking his intentions and ran, her nature magic finally activating.
Geranium found an egg which soon hatched into a pseudowyvern who she named Akzundit and raised him the best she could, bonding with the flighty creature when he sensed she meant no harm upon turning fifteen. With him, she was able to control her magic a bit but she didn't know much about it. When she was sixteen, she traded her physical sight for the sight by offering gifts to Calius and Sivdall, the Ancient One who created humans. Calius, who could see the damage her budding magic had done to her, healed her and gave her the sight, allowing her to become a seer. Working for a group of raiders, for a spell, they used her being a seer for their own purposes and on a blood eclipse, she delved into Goetry, but found soul magic didn't appeal to her…more that she was afraid of it.
Necromancy on the other hand…it proved exhilarating, even more so than nature magic. Leaving the group for a spell, she wandered the countryside with Akzundit who was the only one she could count on and came across a destroyed village and cemetery. She attempted to raise a skeleton, only for it to crumble to dust halfway out of the ground. A dragon sage found her there, offering her a place under the servitude of Rordintyss, a Spirit Dragon (technically a Cosmic Dragon but Spirit Dragons are a cosmic breed) and Land Dragon hybrid who resided in Blaegacora Heights, a mountain range at the end of Talourn Frontier, a vast desert. She went through the ritual to become a dragon sage where she found a purpose and family. Those fellow sages who had magic helped her once discovering she had nature magic and she had the comfort of an older seer as well as their dragon which was an adult but still wise to the world who protected them so long as they in turn did their duty to the dragon and his eggs.
Style/Form: There are eight different types of magic on Xaythea, from Arcane Magic (regular magic but commonly called "pure essence") involving times, spell crafting/weaving to Goetry (dark magic or otherwise known as "the magician's lust") to runic magic to nature magic, aura magic, illusion magic and wild magic. Draconic magic can only be accessed naturally by half-dragons and Rakash but those bonded to a dragon or Wyvern as their rider can also access it.
Mana may come from the earth which is coalesced within the soul, this is normal magic. Dark Magic also needs mana to run, however this is usually taken from inhumane practices such as human sacrifice or the power of blood/soul damage. Damage to the soul can be difficult if not impossible to heal. Ultimately all magic is tied to the fifth element Aether, the spiritual energy that runs through all things though nether also controls dark magic and wild magic. Some fauna can only be picked during a full or new moon or during an eclipse. Some magic involves rituals, with some runes and glyphs needed to complete rituals as well as an understanding of astronomy.
Dark magic is anything with the intent to harm. Necromancy, using magic for one's personal gain, trying to cheat Vamdes out of death as everything has to die barring the gods & goddesses, and searching for means to make one immortal; curses, hexes, anything that destroys the soul, whether one's own or someone else's, blood magic, soul magic, or human sacrifice. The problem with the soul is when venturing into dark magic it begins to taint the soul. If you stop there won't be a lot of damage to it but the further you go into dark magic, the more twisted your soul becomes until there's no emotion or feeling but negative ones. Lord Vamdes generally deals in dark magic, however one can get dark magic Calius but the oldest child of the godly children generally doesn't like to deal in dark magic.
Those who delve into the dark find their souls and minds torn so that when they eventually die they suffer the following punishments depending on how bad they were:
Become restless and malevolent spirits who reside and wander the Lost Ones Valley of Souldes forever, never to rest and be tormented by all their past deeds. Calius is known to hangout with Vamdes and watch the people who abused his gift turn insane as they get lost within the mist.
Being turned into a Wendigo or a Razwal, a creature that feeds off magic and is highly intelligent.
Being turned into a Revenant, often the punishment for the most evil of beings and the most powerful of the dark magic users.
Alchemy would involve the use of potions, trying to gain immortality, turning metal into silver or gold. It is a strength of the cultural capital of the planet, that is the city of Kaladorei. It will involve transmutations and a mixture of crafting and magic. Potions can also fall into Arcane Magic. It's not considered a magic, more a science that hasn't been explored much.
Seers and Healing are not really magic, rather blessings that chosen few can get, however there are prices. The price for being a seer is exchanging one sight for another. That is, one loses their physical sight in order to gain the sight. A person who trades their sight to become a seer remains blind forever and cannot be healed.
The price for being a healer is a rapid deterioration of the body. Wounds can be taken from the victim to the healer which they may be unable to heal and damage to the soul is difficult if not impossible to heal and can be tiring. It is painful for the recipient of the healing and relies on touch as well as causing damage to the mind over a period of time, particularly when trying to heal someone who is near death. The healer ends up feeling the pain and emotions of the dying person but can take their pain as well so the injured doesn't suffer. They also cannot heal those who are dead as they don't have the power of resurrection, to try would result in killing the healer.
Affinity/Focus: Geranium sacrificed her physical sight for the sight in order to become a seer, having the gift of prophecy and visions. However it often gives her psychotic episodes and she will spend her time drawing and writing what she sees. Despite her blindness, she can draw things from memory though it isn't always easy if they come in flashes or images. It's not so much magic on her as it is a blessing.
Magic wise she is a level 1 necromancer, a part of Goetry (dark magic which also includes curses, hexes, blood and soul magics), but this first of eight levels allows her the ability to do the following: A Necromancer at level one can raise simple skeletons or assorted bones, but cannot harness a soul to attach to the skeleton. These raised skeletons are the weakest of undead, and can be very easily destroyed.
Geranium's true talent lies in nature magic which doesn't work in sterile or polluted environments. She has not mastered all elements nor does it allow her to mimicry but she can scyr through fire, water, and plants, cast spells through rituals and tomes, beast taming, and other things. Something that comes with nature magic is healing, however this too has a price…whenever Geranium heals someone, her body deteriorates. This can be reversed with time but she has to be careful as she is not yet proficient at healing herself. Nature Magic has another side effect in that one to be so in tune with the earth and nature, that it causes them to feel when the earth is hurt or dying, causing Geranium pain. If the earth is polluted or suffering something like radioactive fallout, it will make her sick and render this magic useless. She has to be careful with transferring wounds, part of healing as it is sometimes always active with these wounds transferring to herself along with any pain one may feel. Despite the risks, Geranium puts her body through this destruction to help others. Despite this, she has only managed to control water and light, these being the easiest elements to pick up yet she has to be careful of her emotions since nature magic can be volatile and is thus a mere acolyte…a level one sorceress which are beginning level sorcerers with no training, no understanding of magic. There is much potential in both types of magic, if she can learn to control them despite her failing body.
Other Skills & Interests:
Cooking, Sewing & Gardening-Being a woman, Geranium was taught domestic duties as expected of their society relating to cooking, keeping a garden, sewing and some farming with her life set up to marry and produce children. Geranium enjoys baking and planning meals though isn't particularly fond of hosting parties. She is as happy gardening and farming as she is over a fire cooking a meal.
Art- She proved she to be good at drawing things from memory, including cartography or map making.
Swimming and Ships-Geranium enjoys swimming, despite the dangers and watching ships sail on the water. Often going down to the docks as a child to watch ships pull into port and occasionally talking to ship wrights and sailors, much to the chagrin of her parents. More than anything, she finds herself at peace when swimming. It gives her a chance to think and protects her in a way as most won't swim in waters infested with some of the creatures of the seas and oceans of Xaythea like leviathan, sea serpents, sharks or kraken of the deep.
Runes-Despite not delving into runic magic, runes and rituals in relation to magic have always fascinated her. Still, though sometimes necessary, she knows rune magic is dangerous. Mess up just one part of a ritual or misplace a rune and consequences can be unpleasant.
