Ava Thorne

## Overview

Ava is a young Phoenix from the recently destroyed village of Korrisia. She wanders the world in search of a purpose, a reason to have the power she has. She holds a grudge against the nation Ravenna for destroying her home, but she has come to terms with the nation. She is known for her power and skill with controlling fire, and she can defeat nearly any mortal.

## Traits/Personality

* Despises Ravenna to the point where she would sacrifice herself to put an end to it. She will annihilate anything related to Ravenna if not stopped.
* Can sometimes be overly protective of her friends.
* She does not fear anything.
* Carries a Blessing of the Stars medallion everywhere she goes, gifted to her from her father before he dissapeared. The medallion is a Korrisian ancestral treasure and is a symbol of glory.
* She is friendly towards most people (who aren’t from Ravenna) unless they are a criminal or generally a bad person.
* Though immortal, she fears death.
* Quite introverted.
* Loves Maverick Zenith and only Maverick. Being a phoenix, she will never choose anyone other than Maverick as phoenixes choose a mate for life.
* Hates being reminded of her past, when her family and friends were unfairly executed by Ravenna and if mentioned in a conversation, will either become angry or depressed. Usually both.
* She gets her green eyes from his father, and looks nothing like the rest of her family apart from her hair color and height. Korrisians tend to be exceptionally tall, have red eyes, pale skin, and white hair. Ava has slightly darker skin and green eyes.
* During time of conflict or war, she will not choose sides but will attack if provoked or annoyed.

## Forms

* Human - just her normal self, no visible phoenix body parts or anything that may make someone think she is a phoenix. She uses this form to travel via normal means and to traverse towns without much trouble. However, she still has the ability to incinerate things from merely her touch, but this can be controlled and she rarely uses this.
* Demi-Phoenix - partially a phoenix, mostly human. In this form, she has the wings of a phoenix and an aura of fire around her. Her abilities are the same as her human ones just a bit more powerful and she can fly with her wings.
* Phoenix - her standard phoenix form, she had completely become the legendary flaming bird and can use her first new set of abilities.
* Crimson Phoenix - the flames of her phoenix form become dark red and heat up exponentially. In this form, she unlocks some extremely powerful abilities, and everything she touches in this form ignites in crimson flames.
* Blood Phoenix - her supposed final form, she gains power equal to that of a demigod, and the flames on her and the flames she creates go from crimson to blood red, and will drain the life force out of everything the tongues of this deadly fire touches, healing any wounds and empowering Ava even more. With this form, nearly every weapon, spell, or other technique is useless against her, however, she is still weak to iron weapons and superior magics.

## Clan Info

Ava is the leader of a clan known as the Travellers of the Atlas. It is a small clan of people who follow an AI god known as the Atlas. The clan was founded shortly after she encountered the Atlas for the first time. The Atlas had given them the duty of protecting the world from cataclysm, and to annihilate those who break the global peace.

## Early life

As a child, Ava had many friends. Though she wasn’t a very social person, her home village of Korrisia had barely over 30 people, which meant that everyone knew each other. Ava’s best friend had been killed by a falling tree when they were both 13 years old. 2 years later, Ravenna had raided Korrisia, killed everyone, and burned the whole village to the ground. Ava was the only survivor, thanks to a mysterious Ravenna legionnaire who felt sympathy for her. The legionnaire had placed a seal on her magic, blocking off her phoenix form and magic, so that Ravenna couldn’t track her down. After the raid, she traveled to Frostmill, where she met Maverick Zenith, a seasoned sailor who recruited Ava to his crew. From then on, Ava spent 3 years adventuring with Maverick, becoming more and more powerful.

## Trivia

* Her in-game class is Mage.
* Her story crosses into No Man’s Sky.
* She likes catboys (don’t ask)
* Despite being an immortal being, Maverick had to save her life many times.
* Even though she despises Ravenna, she still visits it sometimes either for commercial reasons or to stay at an inn.
* She prefers to eat only meat, but she is fine with other foods as long as it isn’t mushroom or fruit.
* She will sometimes eat the corpses of her victims.
