Reaver

A rough image of Reaver generated using AI

**Reaver**, real name **Amalia**, is the primary main protagonist of the Legacy of the Slayers book series, serving as one of the three protagonists of Book 1, along with Tempest, and Jana Yamagata.

Reaver is a somewhat timid and naïve young woman. Still just a child in a dangerous and hostile galaxy, she often disregards the best course of action in a situation for the one she considers to be the "right thing to do." Being from a primitive backwater, she also has very little knowledge of modern civilization and technology.

## History

### Background

Reaver was born on Necroa, a mountainous primitive backwater world with more gravity than on earth. She lived with a sizeable family on a remote hunter gatherer village. When she was ten, her village was attacked by a thus far unknown entity which killed and feasted on her entire family except for her older brother, Jona, who was away for education at the time.

Sometime later, while hiding out in the capital, Reaver came across a man who called himself Poison Ivy. He was the then Captain of the Cerberus Squadron of the Slayer Brotherhood. He allowed Reaver to secretly join the squadron without a trial. While with Cerberus, she met its then Viceroy, Daemon, who managed to manipulate her into a loveless and one-sided relationship with him. Daemon would then go on to kill Poison Ivy and assume his position as Captain of Cerberus.

### Transfer Arc

#### Joining Andromeda

Reaver eventually grew increasingly frustrated with her living situation with Cerberus. She had become terrified of Daemon and began looking for a way to escape. She contacted the Brotherhood Elders and asked for permission to transfer squadrons, which they granted. She chose to transfer to the relatively unknown Andromeda Squadron.

Later she arrived on Terra with Daemon under the guise of attending to some business with Andromeda in order to disguise the true purpose of the trip and stop Daemon from preventing it. They arrived in Shibuya where they met with Tempest posing as a cab driver who then gave them a ride to Andromeda HQ. There, Daemon and the Captain of Andromeda, Colossus, began to discuss the reasons for the visit. When Colossus eventually revealed that Reaver was transferring to Andromeda, Daemon became enraged and attempted to force her to choke herself using his Blood Puppet Manipulation, but he was stopped by the combined efforts of Tempest and Oracle. and driven off by the appearance of Crock.

After Daemon had left, Reaver received a brief introduction to all the members of Andromeda, before starting her new life with them.

#### Battle with the Zealots

After a late night welcome party thrown in her honor, Reaver woke up in her new room. She went to have breakfast with Andromeda, where she received her first assignment from Colossus, which was to go on a grocery run along with another member, Jana.

While out, the two were attacked by the Zealots, Jana managed to push Reaver out of the way of an attack, but was shot in the shoulder by Dimitroi Valencia and then attacked by Eloy Victor. While fighting, Jana told Reaver to run, which she did. Reaver ended up getting lost in an alleyway, where she was confronted by August van Dogler. She managed to get away from August for a moment and run deeper into the alleys, but he eventually caught up to her. She tried once again to escape by guessing that Daemon was the one to place a bounty on her, meaning August wasn't allowed to kill her. This failed however, when August proved that he was allowed to harm her if necessary, by shooting her in the thigh.

## Personality

Reaver is a somewhat naïve but well meaning girl, she has strong morals and an urge to be useful to her friends and colleagues

## Powers and Abilities

### Physical Abilities

* **Strength:** Due to her Necroan physique and muscle density, Reaver has a physical strength greater than that of the average Human.

### Magic

Reaver is a user of Wind Magic, a magical attribute associated with the wind and it's movements. She is extremely unskilled in her magic however, only knowing one spell which she can't fully control. She also lacks the ability to use Wind Sense, the passive skill all Wind Magi share.

#### Spells

* **Gust:** As of LOTS chapter 18, Gust is the only spell in Reaver's arsenal. It is a simple Wind spell which fires a blast of air from the user's extended palm. This blast is capable of knocking opponents off their feet or even throwing them away a small distance, but in Reaver's case she hasn't fully gained control of her spell, causing it to also knock her down.
	+ **Jet Fly Shot:** Reaver aims her hand toward the ground, and taking advantage of her out of control Gust spell, she throws herself into the air and toward an opponent, striking them with her fist or foot for a powerful hit. She can also use this technique to traverse over gaps, although she has very little control on her landing.

### Divine Protection

Reaver has the Divine Protection of Aura Sensitivity, it allows her to sense the natural "aura" which emanates from living things. It allows her to gauge a person's relative power level, as well as their feelings and somewhat rarely their location.

## Equipment

* **Pistol:** Reaver keeps an unidentified slug pistol on her toolbelt. However, she seems to only use it as an intimidation tool, such as when she threatened Busco with it during the climax of the Transfer Arc. She's so far never been seen firing the weapon, preferring to instead use her fists or other melee weapons in combat.
* **Durasteel knife:** In LOTS Chapter 13, Reaver was given a dark durasteel knife by Titan as a self defense weapon since she has little skill with the firearm she carried.
