A portrait of Iso, author unknown.

## Iron Heart

**"The War is the world. And the World is the war.**

**But behind every steeled blade, every trebuchet, is a soulful being. We are those people. We are the Jaded. We are the Naive. We are the Honorable, and the Criminal. We are the bound for Legend, and the Lost to History. We are the Knights of the Sky, the Ghosts in the Desert, and the Rats in the mud" -** Unknown Soldier.

## Psychological information

**"*They push.*We push.
Every once in a while, we push hard enough that the light breaks through the clouds,
and the world beyond the war glimmers."** - Unknown Soldier.

## Description

Iso's physical stature, for a medic, is peculiar. Standing at 5'6, Iso's blond-haired, blue eye'd figure adorns an extremely well kept, nicely toned finish - seeming to have no trouble with physical exertion in most all cases. Her clothes do not always flatter her form, however, as she's often seen clad in rag - 'medical' like clothing; loose, baggy tops with plenty of airflow. Her armor on the other hand ranges from full plate to a more traditional, beautifully crafted Argossean esque Phalanx set; light fabric skirts and robes plated with armor.

## Armaments

### Arms

Varying between hammers and swords, and sometimes the arcane.

### Armor

Varying between plated armors and light, baggy cloth. Nothing extravagant.

## Skills

***Surgeon*** - Iso excels in the medical field, captivated and obsessed with it's methodologies, and as the experience to back up such endeavors.

***Healer/Spellcaster*** - Though Iso prefers the physical approach to healing, she doesn't deny nor neglect the use of magics to help speed along the healing process, or boost the effectiveness of certain procedures and remedies.

***Fit*** - She's really fit. Like REALLY fit. It's kind of odd.

*Certifications*; Combat Surgeon, Healer, Psychiatrist, Minor Philosophy

## Alignment

Iso is, in the truest of senses; Neutral. She is dedicated only to the pursuit of helping others, medically - spiritually, philosophically and through any other means she can. She does not care to get involved in wars or conflicts, and believes the best thing for her to do is to remove prejudice entirely.

## Flaws

### Major Flaws

**Nervous** - Iso is a nervous wreck, most of the time. Her speech patterns are plagued and riddled with pauses, um's, ah's and shaky dialect - but it's often shelved when her bright smile takes center stage.

**Socially Inept** - A lot of time on the battlefield has left her... out of sorts, in terms of social aptitude. She often misses certain social cues, hints, or forward attempts - and looks as if her mind is often abuzz and away when not dedicating her attention to the healing arts.

**Likely cares far too much** - Iso tends to absorb the mood around them in varying ways, causing her to subtly reflect the overall tone of the matters at hand through her interactions. Although seemingly minor, it has been known to add up over time.

## History

### Personality

Iso is, overall, an extremely caring and nurturing person; dedicating her life in her own realm to war-time medical, and now - likely - the remainder of her time here, in the mystic domain, to the Halcyon Ridge Hospice. She has, generally, always put others before herself - and strives to do everything in her power to save, help, or ease the people she comes to care about, in and outside of work. Though admittedly she has trouble doing so, and has little friends as a result.

### Quirks

Constantly fiddling and adjusting her glasses. She needs them to see properly. Smiles a bit too much, too.

### Relationships

***Katou -*** A staunch, stoic warrior. Rough around the edges, but a diamond in the rough. He's a protector, though sometimes I wonder if he takes his role as such a bit too overboard. I often disagree with his methods of social interaction, despite not exactly being a saint myself, and oft times with his world views too, or views on people at least. But I don't let such things get in the way. Katou was the first person I met in this place, and together - we've forged our new home. And hopefully a home for others, too.

***Galena*** - A seemingly demented, though quite nice, Succubus. Good fashion sense, good sense of sensibility, though seems a bit lost. I hope to be able to help them in whatever way she can.

***Allura*** - A lovely Drow woman who helped Katou out a fair bit when he was sleeping on a bridge (despite having beds at home. I just don't understand it.) I sincerely hope to speak to her more in the future.
