• Notes From Luxtos •

The Sheild-Sworn family have been moderately talented magic users since before the middle ages, so when the witch hunts began they fled to London and begged the Templars for refuge. The result is a generation to generation long debt that family proudly fulfill.

Drada is the eldest of this generation, though her twin (Cazna) was born almost immediately afterwards. Both girls were raised with the family’s debt at the forefront of their learning. As such they spent their childhoods in Finland learning the skills of hunting, tracking, basic survival skills, basic human and monster biology and a few ancient and dying languages as well as a normal primary school education. For a more advanced education Drada and Cazna were sent back to London to attend a Templar supervised secondary education. Drada began to focus on being employed as a paladin by the order, and took up learning mixed martial arts (mainly boxing and capoeira), hammers, mauls and blades. Her education also built upon the subjects that she had learned in Finland.

At the end of her secondary education she had 4 A-levels in English literature, ancient Greek, physical education and biology. She had also built her stamina and body up the standards of professional athlete, competing in fencing and MMA tournaments for fun. Drada kept her physical training up throughout her time at uni, eventually graduating with a degree in Classical and Arcane Literature.

Drada has a fair skin tone with light brown freckles dotting her face and arms. Her hair is rusty dark ginger that falls at about shoulder length, her eyes are pale grey blue (kind of like a cloudy sky). She is moderately muscled, with most of it being located in her arms and legs. She stands at about five feet and seven inches tall. Her facial features include the tradional Scandinavian traits of a thin nose, high cheekbones and a square jaw.

Drada often stands in a modified boxing stance, her arms hanging loosely and shoulders back because of her many years of competitive fighting. Her hair is usually up in a ponytail because of this as well. One of her most striking features are the two ornate tattoos that adorn her left arm and her neck/chest.

The tattoo on her arm is a collection of wild flowers from England, Finland and Norway. It spans from her wrist to her elbow. Her other tattoo is often covered up since it covers the front of her body, from the top of her neck to her belly button. It comprised of the same wild flowers along with some other indigenous plants arranged in a bouquet that has fine strands of pearls droop down from it. Few people have ever seen the entire thing.

When not proudly wearing her uniform and not in a suit at work, Drada is usually sporting a jumper of some kind with some skinny or boot cut jeans. Whenever possible her feet are bare, when not possible she changes between knee high Doc martins, converse trainer or rarely high heels.

Although Drada was raised in a somewhat relaxed and enjoyable manner, her entire life has been about becoming a Templar and upholding the debt of her family’s name. This has instilled her with a sense of pride in her work for both, however she still feel burdened by the weight the debt and tradition she bares.

She displays a calm but quietly optimistic view on life, preferring to focus on getting the task assigned to her completed to the best of her ability. As such Drada nearly always has a smile on her face, even when things are going horribly wrong. Despite her overall warm personality, Drada is hindered by the fact that she is quite shy around new people; she’s always willing to get to know someone new though.

Even with her training and discipline Drada has a spontaneous streak that no-one has been able to break so far. While it doesn’t tend to get her into trouble it can make travelling and talking to her quite unpredictable. That doesn’t mean to say that she is constantly reckless with her life, in fact she tries to maintain a high level of vigilance out in the field so that she doesn’t hurt or kill anything that doesn’t deserve it.

Drada is a Templar of duel nationality (England and Finland) She speaks four languages; English, Finnish, Norwegian and Ancient Greek She specialized in using hammers and swords She works as a translator, both freelance and for the Templar Order She is generally quite friendly but shy She has a twin sister who is in the Dragon She is always willing to training spar with others (used to be a competitive fencer and MMA fighter) Usually seen in a jumper, jeans and boots.

I'm always up to role-play and am open to most things however please ask before doing anything that would result in a permanent change to Drada. She could always use more friends and acquaintances. Feel free to drop me a message if you want anything.
