HP

### Wizard (War Mage)

#### Fighting Style

Maelie prefers to fight at range from her enemies, which usually means slinging spells or

shooting her crossbow. She tries her best to moderate her spell usage to get the most bang for her buck.

She also is very conscious of her party’s placements on the battlefield and tries to contain her area of

effect spells so that they don’t harm her team. (Or if she does have to harm someone on the team,

hopefully it’s one of the party’s sturdier members...) She won’t shoot first unless it’s clear her life or the

lives of her teammates are in danger.

## Fate - The Fading Star

Starting Equipment

* A set of faded robes
* A mysterious metal ingot

### Vessel Abilities/ Vessel Memories

#### The Eyeless Attack

It was revealed in the fight against the Eyeless horde that Maelie’s vessel used to be part of the

Fading Stars. She traveled through the Astral Sea on the Conflux, in its sailing form, fighting off the

Eyeless attacks. When fighting the horde, elemental damage dealt by her became astral fire as well as

psychic damage. Halfway through the fight, after choosing to stand her ground beneath a Blood Tracker,

she transformed a bit and gained access to “starlight missiles” an upgrade of magic missile. Each time

she dealt maximum damage her missiles would split into another falling star for another shot at the

creature. Her mage armor was also upgraded in this battle based on her intelligence. Finally, she nearly

fully transformed into the Fading Star herself, in silver and blue robes, as she clashed with the Brood

Lord. However, due to losing the clash, the Fading Star’s presence faded away again for the time being.

## Characteristics

### Physical Appearance

Maelie is relatively tall at 5’9 and is on the chubby side of athletic (as she would call it). She has

an olive complexion and blue tattoos, reminiscent of warpaint, on her upper arms and thighs (although

these have not been revealed to the party). Her frizzy, auburn hair is often tied into braids under her wide-

brimmed hat and her green eyes brightly sparkle with emotion. She prefers to wear practical clothing that

keeps the elements at bay complemented by a pair of sturdy boots.

### Mindset

* She’s comfortable now around her party members, even if she still has disagreements with some of them, Maelie feels she can count on them to have her back.
* She always wants to hear both sides of a story before making her own decision on the matter.
* She believes that someone needs to stand up for those who can’t help themselves and wishes to do her part to help.

## Story

### Previous Life

Maelie knows her life was full of hardships; feelings of want, hunger, fear, and danger were ever-

present and she was just trying to survive. She knows there were people she loved that she left behind.

Most of her memories are foggy, like looking through a frosted pane of glass. Specifically, though, she

remembers her previous occupation and how she died. She robbed graves, recovering artifacts and other

miscellanea from tombs and selling them to make ends meet. On the way home from her latest

expedition a storm blew in and she lost her way. The last thing Maelie remembers is the wailing of

banshees closing in on her from all sides.

### Awakening Arc

Waking up in a new body in a new location, Maelie feels she’s been given a second chance. She

doesn’t want it to go to waste and doesn’t want to lead the same life she had previously. This leads her to

be a little overzealous sometimes in her quest for “good” or “right”. Although, several events since her

awakening have been... less than ideal on the world-wide scale. Always “failing” is taxing on her

emotions. Mostly she just wants to finally find a place to settle down peacefully with her friends, maybe

start a family of her own, and retire without worries. Maybe she’ll even find a connection to a good-

aligned deity if they manage to fully unlock the Dream. Too bad Conflux is currently such a mess... she

keeps moving on and trying to do better in the hopes that something will eventually go right and she’ll

succeed with her team in fixing part of Conflux.

## Other "Out of Character" Notes

* She wants to try any new foods and drinks
* She’s slightly clumsy due to being nearly twice as tall as her previous self
* Her crossbow is named “Clementine”
* Her unseen servant is named “Zeb”
