“Give me an army and I will give you a war! A real war - not a slaughter of women and children, but a war lead by me, the ONE TRUE RULER of Colchis! A woman! I will give you a war without quarter! And by the Gods I will win, or I will die trying!”
From "Gods & Men " by Samson Arigiros
Medea is a fugitive of her own kingdom and currently a sell sword for hire, though following her father's murder she should have become the next Queen of Colchis.
Instead she was driven from the kingdom with the lingering image of her parents murders still fresh in her mind, and after wandering in the wilderness for a time, finally stumbled upon a group of sell swords who agreed to let her join them.
Now she wants nothing more than to find herself an army, so that she might reclaim the throne and avenge the deaths of her parents, and this group of sell swords seems like as good a place as any to start.
However, even a Queen - especially one as young as her - can't just demand the respect of an entire army of men, so going under the guise of a 'commoner' called Merida she has decided to earn the respect of the men instead by fighting and clawing her way up the ranks through sheer grit, hard work, determination and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Only once she's earned her way to the top and knows that the men will follow her without question will she finally reveal her true identity, because all the time they do not know who she truly is, she knows they won't be following her simply because of the promise of gold, or glory or whatever other rewards they might imagine a Queen could bestow upon them.
==Powers and Abilities==
As well as being an able swordswoman and archer, Medea has inherited the use of magic from her ancestors - thanks mainly to the touch of deity in her blood. Her use of magic is sometimes tied to her emotions however, so she cannot always control it, and will often lash out when angry or upset.
Her magical repertoire so far includes...
*Telekinesis: She has only ever displayed this ability once when she was able to fling the sell sword Sarpedon across the room non verbally after he threatened her.
*Healing: She is a skilled and capable healer and can heal many wounds by incantation and touch alone, though often combines these with herbs and poultices as well for added benefits and quicker healing.
*Geokinesis: After witnessing the murders of her mother and father, Medea accidentally shattered the balcony that she had been standing on, sending herself tumbling into the ocean below and inadvertently providing herself with an escape route that saved her life.
*God's Touch: Thanks to the hint of deity in her blood, she often refers to herself as being 'touched by the Gods'. Due to this, she can also sense if others are as well, and can spot a full blood Deity or even a half blood from a mile away. Elves confuse her, however, because of their different 'aura' and ageless appearances, so she will often mistake them for a 'touched' mortal, even though they are not.
