Adventas Lamient

TO BE OVERWIRTTEN

Adventas Lamient is the main protagonist of Thy Dark Devices and was a participant in Nazologia's scheme for Phase II. She was a Scholar at Gevruthven Academy before being chosen as the eleventh out of The Twelve Ballot Wielders. Adventas was also a master of disguise, her count being the number of times that she deceived people, though she is a good person and only uses her skills for "good" purposes..

## Physical Appearance

Adventas is described to be an extremely attractive girl with waist length, straight, ash silver hair and two strands falling down to shoulder height at the front. One of these strands has a golden ring strung in it that ties into a small loop. Her eyes are a rich amber that gained the admiration and uncalled-for attention of most whom came in contact with her. Adventas's figure is quite slender, delicate and extremely petite, being around the height of a Thirteen-Year-Old (156.2cm). Adventas's overall appearance can be described as "pretty" or "beautiful".

Adventas often wears an extremely long, black overcoat with unusually high collars with golden trimming and a silky white scarf. This attire also consists of baggy, dark grey trousers that lead into scuffed, black boots and a dark buttoned shirt. In the black overcoat's breast pouch, there is a miniature golden pocket watch and in her waist belt there was a glass reflector that she used to make campfires. Across Adventas's heart there is a golden three-pronged fork that represents the Piramordian Crest.

Upon Adventas's wrist there is a fake count of Thirty-One that she carved herself, while her true count is printed across the right side of her neck in the black, slanted writing of Seventeen while it is hidden by her high collars.

Adventas's right hand in "Monkey Paw" state shows much like Nazologia's, being stiff, mummified and wooden-looking, the deformity spreading all the way down to her elbow. The "Paw" stays completely stiff and the slightly curled fingers cannot move, portraying the will of the Apostle.

## Personality

Adventas is extremely kind hearted, a personality that corresponds well with her quirky manner. She is quite laid back and avoids troublesome situations as much as possible as much as possible, though works extremely well in uncertain circumstances. Adventas cares a lot for people like street beggars and those whom cannot defend themselves (a reminder of her old situation), this weakness often forcing her into having more work than she can possibly handle. Adventas appears to be quite cold, distant or even evil at first to most people, though this is merely used to cover up her inner kindness.

Perhaps Adventas's greatest personality flaw are her expectancy issues that represent themselves quite often. A prime example is The Sacred Eye Incident: After Sabine, Serpens and various others had satisfied their bloodlust, Adventas fully expected her new companions to leave her as they had got their revenge, though was immensely surprised when they didn't.

During mortal combat, Adventas tends to place herself bellow opponents, always believing them to be stronger than they actually are. While this portrays her to be too passive and to fixed on negotiating with an enemy before hand. Despite being acceptably powerful, Adventas's most mighty asset is her cunning and shrewd decision-making. Adventas often tries to outsmart her opponents before combat, though acknowledges that combat can be necessary.

## Plot

**Childhood**

Adventas Lamient grew up in the streets of Ospey, living a beggar-life after her district had been destroyed by Kirche to keep down the poorer population. She was always wishing and daydreaming for a "better-life", until she met an Apostle from The Unseen World whom started a deformity called "The Monkey's Paw" upon her right arm. Fooled into believing the Apostle's lies about the hand being able to grant wishes, Adventas tried to use the Paw to give herself an easy life, yet it put her into a dream-like trance while her body acted under the Apostle's influence.

She wounded two adults and their child under this state, though when Adventas (in her dream-state) tried to move in for the kill, she was stopped by Lvray Rijks, a Unique Specialist whom lived in a run-down building called Grimwaine. Rijks easily restrained Adventas and brought her back to Grimwaine, performing a ritual in order to return Adventas's mindset to it's proper form, temporally sealing away The Monkey Paw.

Rijks Looked after Adventas for a few days, keeping her under his care before restarting the ritual and forcing Adventas to confront the Apostle whom used her as a puppet. Rijks persuaded her to re-use the Monkey Paw in order to kill it, thereby enclosing it back into The Unseen World. Adventas then fell unconscious for a few days before awaking in Grimwaine with her right arm looking completely normal again, Rijks seemingly performing another ritual in order to restrain the arm, though he purposely left the arm in easy access, should Adventas encounter another Apostle.

**Teenage Years**

Adventas devoted herself to studying during her teenage years, every year or so encountering Rijks, whom travelled often. Whenever he was around, Rijks trained Adventas on being a Specialist, becoming his apprentice/assistant. They often tracked down Mavericks or Apostles together and removed them from their host bodies back into The Unseen World. Adventas's studies at Gevruthven Academy were funded by one of Adventas's adult friends, Schelgerman Basch, whom also temporally fostered her when Rijks was away.

## Count

Adventas has two separated counts: The first and true count is stamped across the right side of her neck in thin, slanted print and reads the number of "Seventeen", Adventas stating that it was the number of times that she had deceived people, becoming known as "The Master of Disguise".

The second and fake count is printed upon her lower wrist where she can reveal it at easy use and has the figures of "Thirty-One", pretending that it was the amount of times that she travelled, using it to "blend into the crowd".

## Abilities

* **Darts:** Adventas is also very skilled at throwing darts, it being her hobby prior to the story. She almost always caries several playing darts inside her overcoat's lower pocket and she can throw them with incredible accuracy, while also being able to stab people at close range.
* **Monkey's Paw:** Adventas acquired the Monkey's Paw when she was constantly wishing for a better life out in the streets, making her a perfect victim for the opposing Apostle. The arm was said to have given her extra strength, though is hardly shown in action. The Arm was also said to have a sentient aura by Rijks, meaning that it was partially alive.
