Ember

Ember is a major character who appears in: Radiance of Visvara.
A vicious pirate turned iron-fisted queen.
== Synopsis ==
=== History ===
Ember grew up as a pirate in the surrounding seas of Visvara. She was taught a martial art that incorporated the unorthodox motions experienced at sea that complimented ship-based fighting. Her skills in this martial art and her indisputable reason allowed her to quickly rise through the ranks of the crew and she eventually became its captain after some time. One day, she led her crew to Vibe Island, in hopes of plundering it and stealing its riches, but they were swiftly and easily wiped out by King Edron Bartholomew II and his knights. After the confrontation, Edron acknowledged the pirate’s potential to perhaps one day lead Vibe Island, aware of the fact he had no heir and was likely nearing death, since he was now in his 90s. Ember was interested in becoming a Queen, having found a new idol to look up towards; it would also mean she’d actually be rich, but she was already burdened with leading her pirate crew. Without telling anyone, she decided to consider who could replace her as captain, but no one in the crew already was truly trustworthy, so she decided to travel mainland Visvara, alone, to search for someone worthy enough to be the next captain.
=== Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 1: Here's the thing about earthquakes... ===
She made her way to that capital city of Visvara, Dorlomin, where life continued as normal on a bright sunny morning, until the dark clouds overcast and rain started to pour, before a freak earthquake suddenly struck. In the city's outdoor shopping hall, a man was flattened by falling debris in front of everyone, causing widespread panic within there. One man, Dante Higgenson, was hit by some debris, causing him to stagger back-to-back with Ember and three other people, as more pieces of roof and concrete piled around them. A large section of the roof came crashing down above them, so Dante attempted to catch it with his raw strength, but was squished down by it. Panic continued as the rumbles showed no signs of ending, while the five strangers had been trapped in this hole. After several minutes, the earthquake finally stopped and the last pieces of rubble dropped. The five of them felt a light breeze from below, so they crawled through a small tunnel leading to the door to a flower shop they eagerly entered. With a moment to breathe, the travelling hero, Dante, introduced himself to lighten the mood, only to be mockingly called "squish guy" by the others, nevertheless, the tension of the situation had been lifted and they all started sharing a little bit about themselves: a teenage girl, April Turtleneck; an imaginative dragonborn, Roger Heart; an older, untrusting man, Geron Andur. They began exploring the shop for an exit, although Geron seized the cash register and stole GP 12, while April found a dead old man on the floor, killed by one of his own potted plants. Dante and Ember found a back door that led outside, allowing them to advance. The devastation of the city continued, but as they sidled in-between two destroyed buildings, they found three different paths, so they split up. April and Ember went left and found a bunch of smashed up glass leading up to an entirely glass building with a sign reading Karaoken. April rushed in, while Ember started smoking, and heard some wailing from beyond the staff door. She returned and Ember chuckled to herself at the sight of a blood covered teenager, regardless they continued forward and saw another woman trapped under some rubble, so Ember tried to pull her out, but just ended up ripping her in half by accident, causing her to laugh again (April called her a psychopath in her head). They then found a gate and entered it, where they reunited with Geron, Dante, Roger, and some snot-nosed kid, so they had a little breather. Geron demanded Dante give him his trousers, while April started begging for his shirt, since hers was covered in blood. He ended having to comply, because they were getting restless, so he was left with nothing but his tight speedo pants and his chainmail. The snot-nosed kid told everyone to follow him in-between another set of destroyed buildings, leading to a crumbled wall that was just barely climbable in the rain, so they started struggling their way up, find themselves standing before a river. The boy explained that the exit should be on the other side, so they all jumped in and started swimming across, with the boy hooked onto Dante's back. Suddenly a group of fish circled them saying, "ooh yeah, we're evil fish, ooh yeah!", because that's just the noise they make. They tried biting everyone, brutally digging into Ember and Dante, sending the latter into critical condition again. The boy started crying as Dante's willpower was rapidly depleting, so Geron grabbed him and dragged him across, while something brewed up within April, as she pointed at the fish and eldritch blasted them all out of nowhere. Everyone was stunned at her sudden ability to use magic, but the pressing matter of Dante had to be taken care of. Roger managed to heal him up and he was breathing again, much to everyone's relief. They walked up from the little riverside walkway onto the main street, where there was less damage, due to the better building foundation on that side. The snot-nosed kid thanked them all and ran off to find his parents, while the others collected themselves. Geron Andur lamented about how his journey hasn't ended here and he must continue to find a cure for AIDS, confusing Dante, since that seemed like a quest best done in a laboratory, but Geron insisted that one of the West Side Boiz could help, because they saved his father once and could help do it again. Dante then informed Geron that he knew Davril and could lead him to him as a start, prompting Roger Heart to join their little journey to meet with the hero. With the realisation that her home was now completely destroyed starting to properly settle in, April Turtleneck decided to join them as well with nowhere else to go. Seeing them all go, Queen Ember decided to tag along too.
=== Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 2: Tigers, Arachnids, and Ants ===
The newly formed party stayed the night in Dorlomin with the other refugees to rest, but in the morning they immediately set off for Davril's house. The paths and roads had all been completely distorted thanks to the earthquake rearranging the landscape quite a bit, so they ended up going much further West than they had anticipated, ending up by the coast. They walked along and reached a bay, where they saw a town on the other side and began making their way for it, but they suddenly found a man washed up on the shore, so Dante went over to him and tried to help ask him what had happened, but he was too dazed to talk properly, but he seemed to have just come to from an all-night bender. Geron went to pickpocket him, but found that he had no possessions, but had a massive stab wound in his stomach that was almost as big as his cock. Shocked, Dante tended to his wounds and bandaged him up, so the man got up and thanked him, before asking for his name. He introduced himself as Dante Higgenson, which caused the wounded man to hold back a laugh and say, "as in Davril Higgenson? Tough luck, pal, we can't all be winners." He then took a couple steps forward and collapsed before saying, "oh yeah, I haven't eaten in a week." He then asked if the party could take him to the nearby town for help, but Geron and Roger weren't willing to do so without some form of compensation, so he offered to show them a magic trick, which sold them on the idea. A forest surrounded the bay, so the entered it and found themselves face-to-face with a talking tiger, called Chris Topher, that asked if he could eat the man, but Geron Andur had to say no, because he hadn't showed them a magic trick yet, so the tiger followed them, also wanting to see this magic trick. They then saw a lady with five arms... in a bag, so Queen Ember sneaked over and stole one only to find that it was an Arm Baby and that she was their adoptive mother. Enamoured by the strange creature she'd never seen before, Ember decided to adopt it, but Geron wanted one too, so he tried to mug her for one, however, having noticed one of her children were gone, her maternal instincts kicked in and she grabbed him by the neck, choked him, then threw him into a tree, before stepping and spitting on him. She left to look for her child, so the party moved forward without looking back. Suddenly, a figure began swinging from above them - it was none other than Spi- Arachnid-Man!!! He saw people in need and decided to escort the party to nearby village.Dante Higgenson tripped over a branch and was knocked out unconscious, but then he started levitating slightly and moving forwards, because a group of ants were carrying him to the nearby town for some reason. They briefly saw another adventuring party looking for a quest, but they decided not to interact with them. A duck appeared in the middle of the path and Roger Heart wanted to recruit it, but it turned out to be an old one, so it grew about 20 feet tall and stomped its foot at the party, but everyone managed to dodge, except Arachnid-Man, who got squished to death. They finally got out of the forest, where they saw a group of bandits about to invade the town they were going to, so they started fighting them. They killed them and moved onwards into the town, where the man they were with regained consciousness. He thanked the party then showed them a trick where he made two ok hand signs then interlocked them, put them behind his head then showed his hands now separated. Geron and Roger berated him for his terrible trick, so he quickly showed them another one, where he shoved his whole arm, down to the elbow, into his mouth and procured a lemon, then he smooched Geron Andur and pulled another lemon from within his mouth. Finally, he told Roger Heart that something tells him he might need a poop, so he pulled down his pants and defecated in front of everyone, embarrassing himself and grossing them all out. The man said a final thank you, before hobbling into this town's refugee camp's medbay, because it too was destroyed by the earthquake. Chris Topher then looked out and saw a pack of tigers approaching the town and they asked him why he hadn't eaten the man they were hunting, but Chris Topher explained that it was because they were his friends now, enraging them and provoking them to destroy the town. The residents all rushed inside and Chris Topher told the party to go with them as well, so they were pushed in against their will. They weren't let out, but they desperately wanted to help their newfound ally, who was now fighting his tiger brethren, like in Ice Age. He was getting overwhelmed, until tigers started getting flung into the ocean by a collection of ants who now resembled Dante - it was D-Ant-E. Then the squished version of Arachnid-Man appeared and helped to fight the tigers too. The town was saved and a new party was formed - Ice Age 2. The bartender then told the party they could stay the night, so they had drinks and ate tiger food, knowing that their new friends were leaving, but hoping their paths would cross again some time. The next morning, they found a messenger come in with wanted posters, saying that five of the most evil inmates of prison island have escape. The party had a look and put to memory the sketches and names of the inmates: Ren Kuvira, Lirvad, Mitchell Reed, a mysterious "subject K", and Damned Daniel. Geron Andur was shocked to see Mitchell Reed, because he was one of his two only friends growing up and was the man he lost his virginity to, but more shockingly, the sketch of Ren Kuvira was strikingly similar to the man they'd just rescued, so they rushed to the medbay, where a nurse gave them a letter that was left behind by him, saying that he wanted to thank the party one last time and that he'd love to stay, but he is a terrorist and needs to leave.
===Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 3: Lirvad the Menace===
The party continued their journey into the next morning, where they found a woman in the middle of the road, unconscious with a pen in her right hand and a blank name tag in the other. April and Roger wrote the name Mrs. Wiggle on the name tag, while Dante anticipatedly waited for a high-five to resuscitate her. She eagerly high-fived him and was back to normal, although shocked to find all her belongings gone, since Geron Andur stole them all. After thanking them and laughing at Dante for being related to Davril, she explained that she decided to leave her village in shame because she was meant to predict natural disasters, since she was the village druid (something she had a hard time convincing the Sigma Boiz of). She had come to the conclusion that she was either losing her powers, or the earthquake wasn't natural. Roger demanded her backpack, so she complied, since it was now empty and just as they were about to go their separate ways, a little boy stomped onto this scene bellowing, "the bloody village is on fire and is being attacked by bandits!" With the promise of a bowl of mints, the Sigma Boiz were convinced to join Mrs. Wiggle, which ended up being her actual name, to save the village. They ran towards it and saw the horrific scene, so Mrs. Wiggle called upon a rain cloud and put out the fires, which disappointed the bandits, but it didn't stop them from stabbing more people. Dante rushed in and chopped the head off of one the bandits, causing four others to ask who he was, but he had no intention of telling scum like them: unfortunately, Geron Andur and Roger Heart, from behind, shouted, "his name's Dante Higgenson", which caused them to burst out laughing, allowing Andur to rush in and sneak attack another bandit, killing them. Roger then told the bandits a funny story about how Dante nearly died from getting attacked by a fish, causing them to laugh even more, allowing April Turtleneck to more easily kill the rest. They then saw the mayor of the town dangling from a rope off of the edge of the church bell tower, so April tried to use an eldritch blast to shoot him down to save him, but he fell onto the roof and broke his back, so the bandits who were about to torture him from the bell tower had to retie him up, since they thought they just didn't tie it properly. Geron decided to shoot an arrow for the exact same reason, but he ended up shooting the mayor in the ankle, causing him immense pain, but the bandits thought it was an arrow he dropped earlier that came back up because it landed on a trampoline. April tried another eldritch blast, but it hit him right in his groin and it set it on fire, which the bandits thought was the beer he spilt off the edge of the tower that must've reacted with the match he used for his cigarette. Ditching this plan, April and Roger headed towards the front entrance, while Dante attempted to scale the church's wall with Geron on his back, leaving Queen Ember and Mrs. Wiggle to deal with the hordes of bandits that were on the streets of the village. After an arduous battle, they came to the conclusion that Mrs. Wiggle wasn't losing her powers after using them against the bandits.
===Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 4: True Mayor's World===
On another day of travel, the Sigma Boiz make their way to Hobobobobonob, where Dante Higgenson and Queen Ember immediately started playing Go Fish, while Roger Heart, Geron Andur, and April Turtleneck went to the refuge bay. Later Geron Andur came up to them and asked Dante and Ember where Roger and April were, prompting them to point in two different directions. Dante pointed at the jail house, while Ember pointed into the woods, so Geron headed to the former.
===Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 5: Ultimate Old Ones from Ancient Times===
The party managed to make it to Noitsnot, after four days of travel, where they walked over to Davril's music shop. Dante unlocked the door with a key from his old trousers that Geron was now wearing. Davril wasn't in and there was a letter on the floor from the Bearington Foundation;
"Davril mate,
We found something in the ruins in Taiko Karakita.
Get 'ere nar!!!
Jaoif Adergf, Bearington Foundation."
Dante pocketed the letter and they entered the living room. Roger explained to Dante that Davril was his idol and that he aspired to be just like him one day, in addition, he clarified that he'd pissed in one of the expensive guitars. Suddenly, the door opened and Davril appeared with groceries, shocked to see intruders, but his eyes teared up as he saw his son stood before him. He embraced him in a warm hug and declared he would make his favourite meal for dinner with his friends. They sat at the dinner table, while Dante introduced everyone: Davril was already familiar with Roger Heart and he scolded him for stealing his cloak and horn last time he was here, Davril also recognised April Turtleneck as the Bulging Stick's granddaughter. Geron Andur asked the West Side Boi if he had any way to cure AIDS, since his dad has it, but Davril just apologised for his circumstances and told him he had no way to cure it, however he did instruct him to seek out Sigismund or Ara. Davril finished cooking and laid down the plates as everyone started eating, asking his son about more of his stories, so they told him about what they were doing during the earthquake (specifically explaining why the others called him "squish guy"), but he then told his father that he'd met his own brother. At first Davril tried to feign ignorance, but his son vehemently pushed for answers on his past. With tears in his eyes and sorrow in his heart, Davril revealed the truth to his son for the first time, explaining who his mother was and who Lirvad really was. Shocked by these revelations, everyone sat in silence, until Davril apologised one more time and told his son that, if Lirvad was back, Dante would need to protect something. He brought them all to his attic, where he openned a chest with a rapier in it - Delilah's rapier. Dante took the weapon and gave Davril a letter he found by his door. After reading it, he looked out the window and told the Sigma Boiz his adventuring days were over and that they should do that for him, if they were willing. With no other direction to go in, they agreed and stayed the night to recuperate. Before sleeping, April Turtleneck pulled Davril aside and asked if her grandfather had ever used magic, to which he said, "no, but he did have a magic dragon, but that came from the sword, not him." In the morning, Queen Ember told the Sigma Boiz she had to return to Vibe Island, because she was needed there, so they bid farewell and went their separate ways.
=== Radiance of Visvara - Chapter 13: Vibe Birthright ===
She travelled all the way back to Vibe Island to check on it, only to discover that Dominique Belenus IV and her army raided it in their moment of weakness. Belenus defeated the aged Edron Bartholomew II in ritual combat and imprisoned him in the dungeons of the parliament. Ember failed to reclaim it herself, ultimately losing Vibe Island to Belenus’ forces, while she was chucked into the sea, left to drift away. She eventually got ensnared in seaweed for several days and passed out on the coast of a town called Eplas. She burst out of the seaweed and immediately saw Roger Heart and Geron Andur. She explained to them what happened after parting ways and the pair agreed to help her reclaim Vibe Island, but they needed a means of transportation. They thought about fashioning the seaweed into a boat (Roger and Geron also thought about starting a seaweed snack food business), but to no avail; fortunately, April Turtleneck returned from her lone walk and told them that she apparently had a "one-time use speedboat" with her warlock powers, so she manifested it and they all got in, but none of them knew how to operate it, so Geron Andur started pulling and pressing at the controls and the blasted forward towards Vibe Island. The four caught up about what had happened while they were separated, but as they got closer to secret Northern beach of Vibe, Geron quickly realised he had no idea how to stop or slow down the boat, so they were sent hurdling into a nearby tree. Roger Heart and Ember managed to leap off before the crash, but Geron Andur slammed straight into the tree and received mortal damage. The three looked around for April Turtleneck, but they couldn't find her anywhere, so they decided to press on, hoping they'd reunite with her eventually. They walked up the steps from the secret Northern beach, where they saw two patrolling guards walking towards them to investigate the noise. Geron and Roger went up and tried to explain the event without seeming too suspicious, but one of the guards grew more curious at their vague terms of speaking, so Ember jumped him from behind and stabbed him in the gut with her light sabre, spilling all of his intestines out. He wailed on the floor picking his organs back up into his body in panic and horror, as she mercilessly sliced his head off despite his cries for mercy. His partner came back from picking his nose, but was promptly set on fire and was left to writhe in agony, while the party headed towards the cemetery to get to the secret tomb dungeon. They were stopped inside by two gargoyles who were joking around and being funny little guys. Ember told them to move aside and let them through, but the gargoyles denied them passage, saying that they were cursed to be loyal to the throne, not people. The Moss Boiz engaged them in battle finding that they were immortal sexual deviants who liked shoving their fingers up bootyholes for laughs, so they fled the tomb in search of Dominique Belenus IV. They headed toward parliament, where they were stopped by two royal guards who asked them what their purpose for being there was. Thinking on their feet, Geron Andur introduced himself as Pete with his husband Dave, and their daughter, Edron, who they named after the king, because they love the culture of Vibe Island so much and wanted a tour of the parliament building. One of the guards was suspicious of them, but was called a fool by the other for not seeing the three of them for the loving gay family they were and killed him for his old ways of thinking, since he was a pre-Dominique Belenus IV guard. He walked them into the garden, showing off giant hedge cuttings of several figures: an orcish businessman, a bald man in a wheelchair, a lady in a long cloak, a little gnome man, an androgynous anime character, a policeman with a frog on his shoulder, and some kind of samurai with his head missing. The tour guide, Jerry, didn't have any specific idea of who they were, but was certain they were important to Edron Bartholomew II, as he'd been slaving away at them for the past 69 years. They went into the parliament room, where they were shown several room like Edron's gronch room he'd leave mid-meeting to go into (it had nothing in it besides a chair and a table). Pete and Dave attempted to leave to the toilet for a family pissing session, while in the party room that just had a single plate of crackers on a table, but they accidentally ended up empathising with their tour guide who explained his reasoning for joining Dominique Belenus IV. Jerry used to live in Hill Valley and grew up with his best friend, Greg, who ended up dating his crush, causing a rift in their friendship - an action he regrets to this day. After telling Jerry that his childhood crush, Idono, is dead, he sat in the party room lamenting his past actions. The party rushed to the bathroom next to the throne room, as bursting in was suicide and Ember knew that there was the royal sink in the middle of the room they could surprise their enemies from. They all got in one stall and flushed the toilet with them inside and hid in the royal sink, observing the room. There were three guards awkwardly watching Dominque Belenus IV make out with her manwhore, so they immediately burst out with their weapons at the ready. Ember raised her light sabre at her adversary and challenged her to ritual combat which just made Belenus laugh, noting the power difference between them since their last duel. The man she was kissing looked at the party and they all realised that he was Ren Kuvira, a man they'd previously assisted and discovered was a terrorist. He explained that they were dating before he was imprisoned and they took over Vibe Island together when he was free, in addition, the party quickly inferred he was a masochist (something he didn't deny). Belenus and Ember readied their blades at each other, while Ren Kuvira prepared to fight Roger Heart and Geron Andur. Ember rushed in for the first attack, pushing Belenus back with her blade, before she summoned the full power of the Belenus Blade, meanwhile Roger and Geron started ganging up and mercilessly beating Kuvira in an attempt to make him switch sides by arousing him, but he was adamant that they just "didn't do it for him." Belenus swung at Ember with incredible might and an exchange of devastating blows tipped the scales from the initial attack. Noticing this, Roger used hold person on Belenus, allowing Ember to push back and behead her adversary. Ember took the Belenus Blade and decided to keep it, despite not being able to unlock its true power, since she wasn't a blood relative of the Belenus family. Altogether, they killed Ren Kuvira and brought both of the bodies to the top of parliament, showcasing to the entire island that Ember was their queen once more. Afterwards, they went to the cemetery and freed Edron Bartholomew II who was now a old skinny man with a massive beard. He was barely coherent in his speech and required assistance to move. They took him to his garden, where he did a backflip despite warnings not to. He did a perfect flip and died standing up in the centre of his garden. The Moss Boiz covered Edron in leaves to honour his memory, then took Ren Kuvira's corpse to the police station to claim their reward for his bounty, but as they left, they were attacked by a Neo Nostalgia Critic who was immediately killed, but managed to utter that they had infiltrated everything.
