Raelyn Sabersath

= Bio =
Back again for Season 3 of Fractured Thrones, two years have passed since Raelyn and her friends left Adwick. Her life changed drastically when she was exiled from Triton society and ending up inland in Arilaand at the beginning of Season 2. After meeting the rest of the cast, she was thrown into a hurricane of wars, politics, gods, and magic, a world she was not entirely prepared for. 
While she had been a renown Guardian of the Deep back in Nerimon, she was used to fighting sea creatures and monsters from the depths, not wars against other people. Not to mention Triton society lacks any kind of religion, so it was quite a shock to find out that gods are actually real. The world of Auzera is vast, and Raelyn has yet to figure out the part she must play as she now enters Gradia with the rest of the Season 3 cast of Fractured Thrones.
== Attributes ==
====== Major - Bioluminescence Stun ======
AOE Stun (5 sec x3) - When under attack, Raelyn’s defense mechanism is akin to an electric eel’s stunning effect. She utilizes her bioluminescence to essentially flashbang the target close to her, stunning them for a few seconds allowing her to either attack or get away. Raelyn is able to fully stun targets around her for 5 seconds, 3 times a day. (This includes allies) The third time she does so, she will pass out, unresponsive.
====== Minor - Polearm Weapon Proficiency ======
Trained/Well Trained - Due to her heavy training as a warrior of the sea, she knows how to fight, and she knows how to fight well. However, her training was underwater. Raelyn is Trained with polearms on land, and Well Trained submerged water.
====== Minor - I Have Your Back ======
(+1) AC Near Arn or Kyler - Raelyn has spent a great deal of time fighting on land, and oddly enough, at Arn or Kyler’s back. They have learned to fight well together, and this results in survivability. Whenever Raelyn fights close to her family, within 8 meters or so, she gains a +1 to her armor. (She can never go above chainmail)

== Detriments ==
====== Major - Bane of Spear and Bone ======
(-4) Axe Related Injuries - Raelyn has fought many things in the Deep, and many things on land. But there are just some weapons that she cannot step to, meant to counter her reach and speed. Should she come against an enemy wielding an AXE of any kind, she will suffer a -4 modifier to her injury roll
====== Minor - Bioluminescence ======
(-2) Stealth - Parts of her body create a soft blue glow. While it’s too weak to observe in normal light, it is easily seen in the dark. When Raelyn attempts to hide or be stealthy, she will suffer a -2 modifier to Stealth rolls.
====== Minor - That’s her ======
(-2) Speech w/ Triton Nobles - It's no real secret that Raelyn was exiled from Triton society, and though she survived, she is looked upon by most of her own with disdain. Should she encounter triton nobles, she will suffer a -2 to Speechcraft with all their interactions.
====== Minor - Rats of the Sky: ======
Raelyn fears and hates birds.
= Accomplishments =
====== Guardian of the Deep ======
Proud to be following in her mother’s footsteps, Raelyn trained since she was 15 to become a Guardian of the Deep. These Guardians not only were sworn to protect the city of Nerimon from the creatures of the deep, but sailors and land dwellers as well. Because of this, only elite Warriors of the Sea are allowed to become Guardians, as the expeditions to fight the creatures of the deep are incredibly dangerous.
====== Sabersath Bloodline ======
The Sabersath bloodline has always been proud to serve the renown Vedorsath bloodline. With Raelyn’s mother serving the council member himself, it was Raelyn’s honor to serve the son of said council member, Kihdas Vedorsath.
====== Escaped the Lost Cities ======
Raelyn would not consider this an accomplishment, since she has no clue as to how she escaped in the first place. However, no other Triton has ever been known to survive a banishment to the depths of the lost cities.
====== Guardian Again ======
Raelyn came to the land after being stripped from her titles and nearly her life, and in turn lost all sense of purpose. Deep down she longed for the purpose she once held long ago, being a guardian for people she cares about. After meeting Arnulf and Kyler, Raelyn has found her purpose once again.
= Failures =
====== Love Lost ======
During a particularly dangerous fight against a Leviathan, Raelyn got injured and was being carried away by her significant other, Aryn Rogadath. The Leviathan, drawn to Raelyn’s blood, attacked Aryn as she pushed Raelyn forward away from the creature, propelling herself into the jaws of the monster. Raelyn will never forgive herself for this.
====== Banished ======
Because of her folly during Kihdas’ expedition to the edge of the lost cities, Raelyn unleashed a creature of the deep upon the city of Nerimon killing hundreds. Her punishment for such a crime was to be stripped of her titles and banished to the lost cities, a fate akin to death.
====== Prideful ======
Raelyn’s pride and inability to hold her tongue caused Arn to have to kneel to Dhorst, something even the Empire could not get him to do, and be named the Lord of Dirt. (something especially offensive because of her race) Raelyn learned her lesson there, that her pride is not something just she has to deal with the consequences for, but her loved ones might take the fall for her instead.
= Backstory =
Raelyn was a Guardian of the Deep, raised in Nerimon to be a warrior of the Triton people. Her family, the Sabersath bloodline, have served as Guardians for the Nerimon council and Vedorsath bloodline for generations. So it was decided from birth that she would do the same. When she turned 15, she followed in her mother’s footsteps and started training to become a Warrior of the Sea (Warrors are akin to Knights), and would later be promoted to a Guardian of the Deep (Guardians are akin to Royal Knights). She fought courageously alongside her amphibious brothers and sisters to defend her people and land-dwellers alike from the dangers of the deep ocean. Raelyn loved her home, her people, the ocean, and all that resided in it.
However, during her years as a Warrior of the Sea, Raelyn fell in love with a Triton woman, a warrior under her command named Aryn Rodath. They were together for 7 years before a tragic incident during an especially difficult fight against a leviathan. Raelyn had been severely injured, and Aryn was carrying her to safety when the creature, smelling Raelyn’s blood, attacked from behind. Aryn pushed Raelyn forward, saving her, but in turn propelling herself back into the jaws of the beast. Ever since, Raelyn has been hard pressed to accept help from anyone, especially being carried or grabbed, to a point of PTSD like panic. 
Raelyn was raised by her Mother, Nahlyn Sabersath, a Guardian of the Deep under the command of the Vedorsath bloodline, and her Father, Zoros Sabersath, a wildcrafter who sold talismans, jewelry, and ornaments, to Triton and landers alike. When she wasn’t training with her Mother, she was helping her father, and sometimes even accompanying him to the surface. When she became of age, she started her official training to become a Warrior of the Sea, and served and fought as such for many years. After landing a killing blow on a Kraken, Rae was promoted to a Guardian of the Deep, to accompany Khidas on his expeditions to the outskirts of the lost cities.
During a particularly interesting expedition where Kihdas uncovered a faded inscription within the ruin outskirts, Raelyn caught a glimpse of something glowing within the ruins. With Kihdas busy reading the inscription, she left her post for the first time- following her own intuition, she believes, and swam towards the luminescent blue glow. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a glowing blue rune and reached to touch it, but it faded as soon as she made contact.
After it had faded, she was caught by one of the other guards and brought back to Kihdas. He questioned her on why she wandered off and what she found, but she refused to say. Partly because she feared she ruined it by touching it, and partly because she was ashamed she left her post in the first place. Kihdas kept pushing for an answer, and when he reached to grab her she instinctively withdrew to defend herself. It was in this moment of panic where her bioluminescent glow intensified tenfold, leaving Kihdas stunned. She didn’t stop to see if he was okay, and swam back towards Nerimon in a panic. Not even stopping when hearing a roar vibrate through the water.
Upon returning without Kihdas, she was taken away and imprisoned for abandoning her post. During this time she heard the carnage above, wrecking havoc through the city. A death sentence that she had led to Nerimon. Once Kihdas returned and the creature was fought off, Raelyn was taken to the council for judgment for her actions on a member of the Vedorsath bloodline, and Nerimon as a whole. As punishment, she was stripped of her reputation and titles, and sent out to the lost cities to die.
Unspeakable horrors were glimpsed during her time down there, but instead of freezing up with fear, she swam, hiding within the deep ruins of the city. It was within one of the buildings she hid in where she encountered a statue inlaid with gemstones depicting bioluminescent markings such as her own. Never having seen anything like it, she was stunned by its radiance, as her own bioluminescence lit up the gemstones. However her pause nearly cost her her life, or it should have. She was attacked by something of nightmares, teeth connecting with her face. She awoke washed up on Gradian shores, without any memory beyond the things she saw deep within the lost cities.
She left Gradia altogether, and headed towards the Arilaandian great lake. Raelyn lived in Fairhollow for a short time, working to protect the weak and incapable land-dwellers as a mercenary to get by on this dry pile of dirt. Eventually she ended up settling in Adwick after escorting a nobleman from Fairhollow to the capital.
== End Goal ==
Raelyn’s perfect end would be to help Arn take back and restore the Kingdom of Giwen, and assist in making it a prosperous and peaceful capital and home for all races. In doing so she will help create a river to the ocean, allowing for sea trade with the Triton and coastal cities, and providing a way for the creatures of the land and sea to better cooperate and learn from each other.
She aims to protect the people of the land and sea from the dangers of magic, as she feels that magic might be the destruction of the goal above. Raelyn has learned that no matter how fast you run away from magic, it will always catch up to you, so she wants to gain a better understanding in order to protect those she loves from it. Whether it be destroying it altogether, or controlling it, she will do what she can to keep it from being the destruction of her loved one’s dreams.
However... she will never achieve this, as this is the story of how our favorite characters die.
