Aver Lukas

* Fiver
* Yearling

**Aver Lukas** is a Fiver at Blackcliff Academy who was formerly an orphaned hunter from Sylvania.

## Background

Aver Lukas is a young and determined hunter hailing from a long line of proud hunters. Despite being only six years old, Aver has already shown a remarkable aptitude for the art of hunting. Her parents, Aria and Kael Lukas, who taught her everything she knows about being an effective hunter, mysteriously went missing one night and were presumably taken by the vampire lords of Sylvania. A few months later, Aver was called upon to join the infamous Blackcliff Academy, known for its incredibly harsh training methods. Tired of having to fend for herself all alone, she accepted without hesitation.

Out of the 500 original children recruited for her year, Aver was one out of only two girls, as well as a Roselle, but she doesn't let any judgement from others stop her from fighting alongside her peers with just as much spirit and ability, if not more. She is a resourceful young girl whose natural abilities and sharp hunting instincts make her a valuable asset to the Academy. Despite the Academy's high mortality rate, Aver is determined to complete her training and become a fearsome Nightstalker so that she can avenge her parents' assumed deaths and bring honor to the family name.

## Personality

Aver Lukas is a determined and compassionate young girl, but lately, she has found herself heeding the whispers of the Dark Gods, which have led her to act uncharacteristically cruel on occasion. Her compassionate nature is being challenged by the need to be merciless in order to succeed in her quest for greatness. This inner conflict sometimes makes it hard for her to know what the right choice is.

Despite this, Aver is fiercely loyal to the group of friends she has made at the Academy and is willing to put herself in harm's way for her teammates. Aver is a valuable member of her group, using her skills and hunter's instincts to support her friends and help them succeed. The disappearance of her parents made her learn how to very resourceful, but being alone also made her realize how much she values having others around her.

Aver is one of the two girls in her class and also a Roselle, which makes her the target of judgment and discrimination from some of the others at the Blackcliff Academy. She works hard to prove those who judge her wrong and to show that she is just as capable and deserving of being a Nightstalker as any of her peers, while also maintaining a calm and collected demeanor.

## Appearance

Aver Lukas is a 10-year-old girl with long, light pink hair that cascades in waves down her back. Her eyes are a pale blue and her skin is almost ghostly pale, with some freckles spattered across her face. She is of average size for her age, standing at 4'8" and weighing in at 71 lbs. The most striking feature on her body is the Blackcliff symbol that is branded on her right arm, which she received during her first week of training. This mark serves as a constant reminder of her membership in the powerful and infamous Blackcliff Academy.

## Dream

On 33 Vorhexen 2476, Aver had the following dream:

*The flow of magic stagnates and festers in the verdant forests of the Nature God. Only a single child of Isha stands ready to rectify this affliction of the Winds. Yet dark forces and treacherous allies lie in wait. Should he face the threat alone, even the mightiest of Hoeth's students will surely fall and the lands of Taal be plunged into Chaos.*
