Techar

\*Played by Techar (Techar#4175)

## General information

Techar, a young demon zuloz of the subspecies "homo vulcanis ignis" is an exhausted war veteran who spent her earlier youth and the prime of her years fighting in the war for ta’tan, which she barely escaped with her life but would proof to mark her significantly. She is around 7”8 tall at her current age of 24, much taller than any other normal humanoid thanks to her heritage, and she currently resides in Anterra, a small faction based at the peaceful seaside trying to live a tranquil life. There she resides with some of the other faction members, which would include Orez, Plague, Rosea, Salt, Flirp and further.

## Personality

###### Anterra

Quite in a contrast to her younger years in Astrea, she is mostly calm and coolheaded, though can be easily irritated. Having calmed down from her hot-headedness and aggression that started during her prime shortly after turning 17, she now tries her best to separate herself from that state of mind. Techar attempts to think things through and not immediately jumpstart into action. Her time in the war does quite often work against that, as she still faces many irrational fears which erupted during and shortly after her active military service. Not wanting to appear as weak before her other faction members though, she pushes the emotions down, letting it grow and grown on, until it will likely reach a breaking point at some time in the future.

###### Astrea ( later years )

Techar, as she was in Astrea after reaching the dreaded 17 mark, could only be described as evolving into extremely destructive tendencies. Next to her physical appearance altering drastically through painful growth spurts, she became incredibly hotheaded and aggressive, bordering on the bloodthirsty. She would never attack her friends and colleagues though and would let out her anger on the many monsters roaming the area of Astrea, though it never fully quelled her. She also became incredibly short tempered and, thanks to her new found height and strength, became quite self confident, which would quickly be destroyed though by the war following shortly after.

###### Astrea ( earlier years )

From age 5-16 Techar was a very unsure and unconfident young child. She was incredibly short compared to humans and even other zuloz, enforcing her fear of many other people which made her avoid most. She spoke barely and had very few people she could trust to be around. Techar kept to herself most of the time and would only be seen outside of her home or adjacent garden if having been hired for miscellaneous jobs and would otherwise stay with her wide variety of animals or work on her garden. As she loved her privacy and trusted little, she built specifically enforced doors for her house and planted giant bushes around it and the garden.

## Messenger Bird

Techar's messenger bird is a 2 foot 9 inch tall golden Eagle going by the name of Flaskel. Techar found Flaskel on her first day in the new land when she was only a small child, having been injured by a wild animal. Techar nursed him back to health and now the only thing that alludes to any injury having taken place is a long scar reaching from his left foot to his right eye, which is now partially blinded. Despite looking quite scary and being unnaturally big for his type of bird, Flaskel does not attack human or Zuloz and is actually quite nice to them. He only listens to commands made by Techar though and ignores all else.

### Aliases

Baroness of Taungate, Minai Engel ( former ), Maiden Techar

## History

###### Origin

Techar was originally born in a secluded part of the Nether in 458, a peaceful warped forest, being born as only half demon and half human thanks to her fathers heritage. Techar was raised by only her mother in a small tribe, after her father suffered a quick death. To the age of 3, Techar lived a relatively tranquil life, her mother caring for her needs, even though emotional affection was very much absent. At the age of 3 though, things quickly took a turn as she was cast out of the tribe and hunted down for nearly two years. After evading her hunters multiple times she luckily escaped to the overworld after finding an abandoned nether portal. Until the age of 10, she wandered through the terrain, barely living off of the fruits she could pick, her weak state not strong enough to hunt.

###### Astrea ( earlier years )

At the age of 10, Techar came across the settlement Astrea and, after having to survive off of barely anything, decided to stay close to the town for various equipment. As she was very untrusting due to prior experiences, she stayed on the outskirts of Astrea in a small adjacent forest next to it and only ever entered the town at night for resources.

Techar often stole from the various shops in the town,  not having any currency to pay for necessities and too scared to ask the townsfolk. One night, she was discovered by a lone gardener while she stole harvests from their shop and, as punishment,  was forced to work In the garden of the man. While working there, she found a deeply hidden love for gardening and even after finishing her punishment, asked the gardener to work in his shop for a small payment, which he would accept and Techar would work there for the next following years.

Whilst working for the shop, Techar never directly interacted with buyers, but she grew enamored by their shared love of plants and gardening, and Techar found appreciation in herself for those people she saw visiting the shop. This new found appreciation led to Techar approaching those people after many visits and offered them to work on their gardens,  which many people accepted. After having found a bigger income and new trust for those people, Techar moved closer and closer to the settlement, eventually settling into it and working on a tiny wooden hut further away from the center of Astrea, which would be her residence for a few years.

###### Astrea ( later years )

After working on miscellanious gardening jobs for astrean citiziens, Techar finally decided to join the Maidens, which, next to other jobs, included collecting resources for citiziens to buy. As she focused on netherbound resources, her payment increased drastically. She left her hut and decided to work on a bigger house only a few kilometres away from the center of Astrea, a big residence out of warped wood and quartz, which would be her permanent stay for the rest of her time in Astrea.

Techar was around 16 years old when she became more involved with the people of Astrea besides different jobs and built alliances and few relationships with the citiziens, one of which was Guardiancat, who would become her husband in the following years and also Sarah Hellsmire, who’d become an aquaintance of hers.

When Techar turned 17, there was a sudden shift in attitude. She closed her house off from others and became incredibly protective, but not for the reason of fearing other citiziens, quite the opposite actually. Techar became more invested with the political happenings in Astrea, and eventually invested her savings into her own Barony, the Barony of Taungate, and officially became its Baroness at the young age of 17. There were other events in this time, ranging from her time as Minister to the so called Prison arc, the last big event in the pre war period being her marriage to Guardiancat in 479, at the age of 21.

###### The war

After hearing that there was a war on the horizon in early 480, Techar decided to participate in the war effort to put herself in the favour of the empire and to still her own aggression. As she was quite confident in her strength and general abilities, Techar decided to fight in the frontlines of the war. But, she heavily underestimated the force of the enemy, and suffered through a long, horrific and traumatizing wartime before being finally taken out of commission by her many injuries shortly before the end of the battle.

During the time of evacuation from the empire, Techar was at first too stubborn to leave. But after returning to her house in Astrea and seeing it completly wrecked by the war efforts, and also learning that many of her former friends and family was either missing or dead, Techar realized that there was nothing holding her in the old empire and decided to join the evacuation effort.

She left Astrea through the bay docks on one of the many ships, her last look on Astrea falling on its small center town, a settlement that has been her home for the last 12 years.

###### Current

After arriving in the new land, Techar wandered around on her own for a while, often very slow as her wounds from the war haven’t fully healed at that point in time.

She trecked through the new lands, surviving off of the few things she could scavenge and hunt, knowing that this state could not be permanent, as she suffered from worsening pains due to her untreated wounds. On a lone, cold winter night Techar wandered  through the still plains and forests by the seaside when she came across a small settlement. Knowing that she wouldn’t survive much longer on her own, she weighed her options and eventually approached the settlement where she was approached by Orez Odys after he sighted her stalking across the campside. Techar was asked to stay the night and, after giving it some thought, decided to stay to finally give her worn out body a rest. Her plan was to originally leave in the morning once the sun rose and the earth was once again bathed in its warm rays, but when she awoke to see the light wave over the small settlement an old, nostalgic feeling settled into her, as she was reminded of how the sun would lie upon Astrea in the early morning hours. Techar, who had stalked the lands alone for a quite a time, saw her chance in finally living a peaceful and tranquil life reminiscent of her old one. Later in the day, she stuck around to fullfill simple jobs for the faction members to try and win their favour and, later in the night, asked to stay another, and succeeded in getting approval. This cycle continued until Techar was allowed to stuck around permantly without having to ask every other day.

Nowadays, Techar often works on various builds and gardening jobs in Anterra, next to also cooking together with Orez from time to time, and hunts in the nearby woods for resources. Her relationships with the anterrans range from neutral, over trusting to relatively friendly, with only the exception of Plague, who does ruin her new, calm life in spaced-out intervals. Despite that, Techar has found a new sense of tranquility in her new home, something that she hopes to keep her hold on for a long time.

## Notable Events

##### Prison arc

Techar played a big role in the prison arc, as her house was vandalized by Zero Ounna, which led to the conflict that snowballed into the event. Her house was vandalized on the basis of a long-lasting (shitty, very worn out, IDIOTIC) joke that was based on calling her house “colgate house” in reference to the blue and white materials that were used in the houses’ construction. This joke escalated into vandalism where Zero Ounna placed multiple stacks of signs inside and outside the house, with the aforementioned phrase written onto them ( I still can’t believe you did all of that manually, Zero.). Once Techar found out who was at fault for the vandalism, she took Zero to court with the help of her attorney Percival Mourningwood.

There, Zeros’ punishment was decided to be multiple hours in the prison room, after Techar already shot Zero during the trial as her own form of justice.

Techar played no major role in the events following Zeros’ punishment.

##### Five Minute War

During the five minute war, Techar jumped up with empire citizens to protect others from the explosion. She was hit by the initial impact, but only suffered minor burns due to her strong armor. After the event, Techar diffused the bombs beneath the world congress.

###### Marriage to Guardiancat

In 479, Techar, now being 21, decided to marry her long time friend Guardiancat whilst in the progress in living both his and her own house partially. She proposed to him only a few weeks prior to the wedding and, as Techar believed in the religious practices of the Nether, asked Guardian to get married there, which he accepted. When the ceremony came, they both brought their wedding guest to their small cathedral in the Nether that was erected in a warped forest. There they were married, albeit through more unorthodox practises, and lived out a happy marriage until the war in 480.
